A Good Word for Morris.

81 MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 2O, 1892.
EDITOR TRIBUNE 1t is nearly nine
years since We left the beautiful city
OF Morris, and a short time since we
made our second visit and had the
pleasure of grasping the hand of
many old friends. How much good
it does a fellow to meet those with
whom he has passed SO many social
hours. T.:
We were pleased to note SO many
Improvements which have been made
in the erection of fine residences, the
substantial business blocks and two
fine school buildings, the frightening
and widening of streets and boule-
Yards and planting of shade trees, all
of which give the town an air of pros
perity. :
"The Morris is we'll worthy of
passing notice here, it being sub
stantial brick building of forty rooms,
and is run in first class order. We
would advise the public generally and
travelling men in particular, who con-
template visiting the Northwest, to
strike "bee line" for "The Morris,''
where they will fare sumptuously
every day and feast on Sundays. All
who are connected with the hotel are
very attentive to guests.
While the races were there the town.
was given over to two days of hilarity,
business houses closing in the after
noon. and all participating in a gener-
al good time. Well, boys, ssail inn
and have all the finn you can as time
passes along.
# we were to leave the "Flour |
City" we know of no other town in
the great Northwest that we would
prefer to Morris. When there we
took short ride in the country, visit
ing our little farm and taking gen.
eral survey of the magnificent crops
awaiting the harvesters. We noticed
new farm buildings springing up in
all directions, and were told by lum-
Der dealers that they had been kept
very busy, it being one of the most
successful for number of years.
Our time was limited, but we made
a number of pleasant calls on our old
whom we found in -four
shing and prosperous condition-in

COMPLETED A BIG DEAL.

Consolidation of the J.ehigh Valley Road
and Great Northern Steamship Line.
BUFFALO, Aug. 20.-The Lehigh Val
ley Transportation company and the
Northern Steamship company. the lake
end of the Great Northern railroad,
were practically consolidated Friday
and will be put under one management
beginning Sept. l.. John Gordon, gen.
eral manager of the Northern Steamship
company, will be. at the head of the con-
solidated company. General Manager
w. P. Henry, of the Lehigh Valley, has
resigned. This will give the Reading
trust direct opening to the Pacific
coast over the Great Northern, which is
now being extended to Seattle. The
new company will have by far the best
fleet of steamers now afoat on fresh
water. Eleven of them are of steel, all
built within few years, and of the
highest class of marine architecture. In
all there will be eighteen boats and they
are worth not less than So, 500,0OO.
John Gordon, the head of the consoli-
dated company, is an old Chicago man,
having been agent of the Anchor line in
that city before coming to Buffalo three
years ago to take the management of
the then new Northern Steamship COM
pany. AS steamboat man Mr.. Cor
don has few equals on the lakes. From
a railroad point of view the consolida-
ton of the Great Northern and Reading
interests will have an important hearing
on trunk line interests. For some time
the Erie and Great Northern have had
close traffic arrangements which of
course will. be terminated. The Erie
will be compelled to make other ar
for lake shipping business

Pure Food In Congress.

Action which Resulted in the Official De-
termination of the Best Baking Powder.
The act of congress authorizing the
examination of the baking powders
has resulted in a most unprecedented
compliment to the Royal Baking
Powder. The tests were made in the
government labratory at Washington,
and the official report shows that the
Royal is superior to all others in
leavening Strengthening over thirty
per cent above the average. The re-
port also shows the purity of the
Royal Powder and the wholesomeness
of it's ingredients.
This is probably the highest compli
ment of an official character ever paid
to proprietary article, though no
more than the great army of baking
powder consumers would expect in
behalf of their old friend and favorite.
The result of the official examina-
ton, as thus determined, will, of
course, make the "Royap the stand
ard for government purchases.

One of the most frequent things re-
lated to Professor Whittier is the
storytold him by his callers of some
ocuists and opticians calling on them
with cheap, common spectacles, and
making false pretense Of travelling
that way to see the county and search
of health or for advertising and intro
dueing their goods, ETC., etc. Put
them down as frauds and swindlers.
Genuine opticians do not peddle from

pretensions, are simply schemes to get
from credulous unwary people. Pro-

An Epidemic of Bloody Flux.
Last summer the fux ragged here to

north of here at the Whiteside grave

dreadful disease buried in one day.

disease. When my family were taken

burg, and told them the situation.

The farmers of Stevens and adjoin-
ing counties have this year suffered
largely by having had their grain
destroyed by rain, hail and wind
storms, and the question of insuring
their crops against such losses in
some economical and safe manner is
now being extensively discussed by
them. The Ortonville Journal says
that new scheme of hail insurance
by Big Stone county farmer. An
act of the legislature will be neces-
sary to put this scheme of insurance
in force. The plan briefly is as fol-
lows: The county board of commits
sioners shall levy tax of 5 cents per
acre upon all the taxable lands in the
county. The tax shall be paid into
the county treasury and shall consti-
tute the hail fund. The county COM
missioners shall be the judges Of all
the losses sustained by hail within
the county and a warrant shall be
drawn by them upon the county
treasurer to be paid out of the hail
fund. It is estimated that SC per acre
will bring about the sum of $4,000;
which is more than has ever been
paid out for hail losses within this
this county. Everybody will be in
sured and there will be no need of
agents or the keeping up of board
of insurance companies that are doing
business all over the state. Every
county in the state could certainly
take care of it's hail losses in this way.
Besides being cheap, it insures all the
grain in the county, and the system
is eminently practical

| The association this year holds out
greater inducements to the public
than ever before. The premiums foot
up 100000, and the money is divided
into twelve parts, with an ample pre-
MUM to every race.
The enquiries for entry blanks come
from Indiana on the east to Montana
on the west, and Manitoba and Iowa
also are making frequent acquisitions.
There will probably be at least ten
entries per race; and the management,
in view of such liberal entry list, have
already decided to admit ladies and
children to the grounds free on ''red

can be lowered at least seven or eight |

Henry Huber of Everglade brought

A 500 Blaze.

About half-past eleven o'clock Mon
day forenoon, the barn in the rear OF
j. j. Pimm's blacksmith shop, belong
ing to S. j. Stebbins & Co., was dis
covered to be on fire. The fire alarm
was given, but before the engine
could be made effective the fire had
progressed so far that the barn could
not be saved. In the ware house con-
nected with the barn was $500 worth
of ground feed and oats, ETC., and
destroyed together with bob sled
and other articles, making the loss to
Stebbins & Co. $500 partially in
sured. One horse and two wagons
were in the barn, which were taken
out.
The origin of the fire is somewhat
mystery. Clarence Randall, q ten
year-old son of e. w. Randall,
member of the firm, was engaged in
drawing gasoline from barrel, when
there was sudden explosion and the
boy was knocked down and somewhat
seriously bruised and burned, but not
dangerously. The boy thought the
barrel of gasoline bursted, but others
say such was not the case. At any
rate the barn was suddenly on fire
and destroyed as above stated.
The barn was located ON the
grounds in close proximity to L. HI.
Wellington's lumber yard, and about
Sl75 worth of lumber was destroyed,
which was fully insured.
Had the wind been blowing at the
ime of the fire there would have been l
large amount Of property destroyed. l
