U. S. BUILDING UNDER CONTRACT

Early last week the contract for the
erection of the government building
at Staunton was awarded to Frank
Baldwin, of Washington, d. G., whose
bid is $4,000. For this work the sum
of $4,000 was appropriated, good part
of which will go for identifying and ems
closing the grounds. Capt David Buch-
er, OF Staunton, is the superintendent of
construction, Capt E. A. Fulcher is the
the clerk and John W. Todd the dis
bursting agent. John Southland is fore>
man of the work, which it is supposed
will be begun soon and which is to be
finished in seven months.

Less Business and Smaller Salaries

There has been a noticeable decrease
in both the freight and passenger bus
mess of the Richmond and Danville Rail
road since the recent depression in the
money market. AS a consequence, there
is a rumor-and it seems to have pref
ty good basis-that a general reduction
of salaries and a possible reduction In the
clerical forces will shortly follow. As
yet, no official orders relative to the sub
ject have been received, and probably
none will come until the monthly earn
ings of tie system have been announc-
ed.
Mr.. James II. nrake, the general
freight agent of the system, was inform
ed, while in Washington few days ago,
that the .'cut'' would come shortly. It
will amount to ten per cent, and will af-
feet all salaries The heads of the de>
partments and head clerks will probably
suffer the most, however.

While at Fergus Falls last week
Postmaster Randall came sad-eYed
joke on Sheriff Munro and Justice
Gillespie. The clerk at the hotel pro-
posed to Randall to put the party in

and said one of his companions was
such an able bodied snorer that it was
impossible for anyone to rest within
hailing distance. The clerk took the
chaff for oats and the result was our

The council was considerably
stirred up by a suspicious looking
letter addressed to the president and
marked on the envelope, ''To be
opened and read only in presence of
the council" Wintermute guessed it
was an. invitation to somebody's
funeral; Newell thought there might
be dynamite in it; Judson was will
ing to bet it contained some con-
science money; Cooley insisted it was
a demand for the resignation of the
council, and Flaherty WHO was alb
sent did not know anything about
it. With much trepidation hizzoner
opened the suspicious missive, and
the disgust of the expectant city dads
can better be imagined than de-
scribed, when the envelope was found
to contain an anonymous communities
ton from some unknown source,
relative to minors being allowed in
and about saloons. AS no names
were given, either of the minors or of
the saloons they visited, and as the
production was nameless, it had to go
to that home for the friendless, the
capacious waste basket For the in
formation of the public we may, how
ever, add that the police have instruc-
tons to, and do control this evil as
far as possible, but it is a matter
where parents should be sufficiently
concerned to shoulder some of the
responsibility.

HOW TO SEE THE WORLDS FAIR.

Suggestions as to the Most Convenient
and Economical Methods
When you go to the Worlds fair
do not take a trunk with you if you
can possibly get along without it, but
pack your few necessary travelling
articles in hand bag or grip and
carry it along with you. You will
never know what a lot of annoyance
you have been spared in this way.
Then get your ticket from Morris to
Chicago and the greatest fairthe
world has ever seen, reading via st.
Paul and ''The Northwestern Line"
to Chicago. SThe Northwestern
Line" runs three superbly equipped
trains from Minneapolis to Chicago,

daily, 5:45 p. M daily except Sundy,
7:3O p. m. you arrive in Chicago.
You will find Worlds fair omnibuses
at 'The Northwestern Line depot,
which will take you to the Van Buren,
street station of the Illinois Central
road, where trains for the fair leave
every three minutes, and where
Worlds fair steamers can be taken
for the fair every ten minutes, or you
can take steam ferry from the depot
of "The Northwestern Line" direct
to the same place via. the Chicago
river, and making connections with
the famous Whaleback steamer
christopher Columbus" for the fair
for Is cents. When you arrive at the
fair you will find number of hotels
within a stones throw of the main
entrance and dozens of good restaur-
ants where meals can be had to &C
commodate the most modest
By following these simple direc-
tons your trip is bound to be pleas
ant one. See that your ticket from
st. Paul reads via. "The Northwest
ern Line" and remember that by
this route you will obtain the best
service, the greatest luxury, the most
complete comfort. Tickets on sale at

On Saturday last the sidewalks
contained the announcement, in chalk,
of concert at the court house. There
was quite little commotion later on
in the evening, when it was found
that a young Morris lady, in disguise,
and under the assumed name Of Miss
Hatcher, was the principal in the pro-
posed concert. What induced the
young lady in question to assume
any such role, or what was the pur-
pose of such indiscreet actions, is an
unexplained mystery, and we hope it
was mere thoughtlessness and not any
desire for public notoriety. The
TRIBUNE is disposed to view the mat
ter in the most charitable light, and
attribute the escapade to youthful in
discretion, and hence will suppress
any names.

The boiler inspection law of this
state is humbug, and was foisted
on thePeople to create fat offices for
some few political heelers. 1t is a
downright farce and burlesque as at
present administered, and should be
abolished at the first opportunity.
Anyone with the most superficial
knowledge of an engine, providing he
has the necessary fee, can get a
license as engineer, and the testing
and examination of boilers can hardly
be called anything but sham. The
law should be repealed, and the SO
called inspectors incontinently fired,
as the sole and only thing it accom-
plishes is to bleed and gull the public,
and give fat living to few political,
not mechanical, experts.

Perhaps some of our readers would
like to know in what respect Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is better
than any other. We will tell you.
When this remedy is taken as soon as
a cold has been contracted, and be-
fore it has become settled in the sys-
tenn, it will counterfeit the effect of
the cold and greatly lessen its sever
ity, if not effectually cure the cold in
two days time, and it is the only
remedy that will do this. It acts in
perfect harmony with nature in re-
lieving the lungs, opening the secre-
tons, liquefying the mucous and
causing its expulsion from the air
cells of the lungs and restoring the
system to a strong and healthy con-
dition. No other remedy in the mar
ket possesses these remarkable prop
critics. No other will cure cold SO
quickly or leave the system in as
sound condition. For sale by HUI
