Reunited,

A wedding, that is tinged with ro-
nance, occurred at Minneapolis Sun
day last, the high contracting parties
being George Howley, of Morris, and
Miss Mary LaCroix, of that city.
These parties formerly occupied the
same relationship, (of husband and
wife, but some time ago separated,
the wife returning to her parents and
resuming her maiden name. Now,
however they are again united, and
we trust their future may be always
as bright as the present, and that the
shadow of the past will never again
darken their home.

Crooks Fired

A party of decidedly suspicious
characters, consisting of three able
bodied men and fourteen-year-o old
girl, were rounded up by the police
last Wednesday evening and locked
up on charge of vagrancy. Two of
the men had been roaming around
town-under surveillance-for some
days, and by misrepresentation had
got permission to move into the ole
school building, owned ~ the Sisters
OF Mercy; II lower town. They repre-
scented that they had household
goods and that they were obliged to
move them from the depot and store
them until they could rent place to
live in. They, however, were shy on
any goods and chattels, and this was
only subterfuge to get into the
building, for no sooner had they TAX
en- possession than a bed, cot, table
and couple of chairs were bought
on the instaIlment plan from a Sec
ond-hand store, and they settled
down to living-the living coming
principally from the neighborhood,
and what they could not beg or Dor
row they stole.
When arraigned before the justice
they gave their names and former
residences as Geo. Lane, Adah Lane
and Lon Merrill, of Alexandria, and
Geo. Matthews, of Sioux Centre. As
they told conflicting stories, and as
they we're a suspicious lot, they were
ordered out of town, sentence being
suspended. They owned nothing but
the clothes on their backs, and the
last seen of them they were hoofing
it to the land of the rising sun, and
losing no time in shaking off the dust
of inhospitable Morris.
The girl in the party had been beg
ging from house to house, and was
about as utterly depraved specimen
as a girl of her years could be. She
was caught pilfering from trunks and
rooms in the Metropolitan hotel on
her arrival, but was let go on account
of her age.

1893, at Ii o'clock a. m.
| Present.: Prest. w. J. Munro,
Councillors f. E. Newell, S. A.
Flaherty and H. S. Judson.
The following resolution was pre-
sented by Councillor Judson, who
moved it's adoption:
Whereas, DR.. S. Fl. Duley, chair
man of the board of health, has re-
fused to cooperate with tie mayor
and common council in taking such
precautionary measures as are clearly
the duty of such officers in the mat
ter of quarantining and assuming
charge of a reported case of infectious
disease, answering the mayor: cit is
not my business" when consulted
and directed by him; and as the case
of diptheria is one of the most malig-
nant form, and the health officers
should be most prompt and efficient,
be it resolved, that Dr. S. Ell. Duley
be declared removed from the posi-
ton of health officer, and said Office
be declared vacant.
The adoption Of the above was
seconded by Councillor Newell, and
on call of ayes and nays was unani-

DR.. D. r. Sutherland was appoint
ed health officer to fill the vacancy.
Councillors Newell and Judson

A furious case of diphtheria wasre
ported to the health board on Friday,
the victim being daughter of Chris,
Gaarder, and employed as domestic
in the Morris hotel. Immediately on
the discovery of the disease the ser
wants quarters of the hotel were
strictly quarantined, and as soon as
suitable place can be procured the
girl will be removed, and the prem
Uses thoroughly disinfected,
The council was obliged to pur
chase the building formerly owned
by John Barrett, and it will be used
by the village for hospital purposes
Some place for the care of cases Of
infectious diseases, or where any vii
lage case may be taken, has long
been needed, and as this building is
isolated it is just what is required.
A competent nurse was obtained
from Minneapolis to take charge Of
the diphtheria case, as it was impos-
sible to get anyone here who would
nurse and care for patient affected
with the dread malady.

We learn from a gentleman where
veracity is not to be questioned, that
Go. Attorney Flaherty, while at the
Worlds fair, very naturally and from
his constant association with the le-
gal fraternity and the officers of the
law, always sought the police for in
formation and advice. He went up
to policeman in one of the build
ings and with much familiarity
slapped him on the shoulder and
said: ''My brother-in-law, SO to speak,
can you inform me as to the most d.
rect route to the wild and woody plat
sance?" The peeler never acknowl
edged having heard the query, SO our
townsman again essayed to speak,
and grasping the limb Of the law, was
about to repeat his question, when
one of the custodians stepped up and
said: Hands off the wax work,
please" The figure was a wax image.

and many and sincere, are the express
sions of sympathy for the afflicted
parents and family Miss Alice had
been i'll for several weeks past with
typhoid fever, and until within a

she was improving, hence the sudden
death was all the more poignant be-
cause of false hopes. 81 s,ne had MANY
warm friends, was of an affectionate
disposition, very nervous temper

ton. She was in Red Wing in 1871,
but came to Morris III 1875 with her
parents, and has grown up in our
midst, and consequently has large
circle of friends and acquaintance
who will be shocked to hear of her
untimely death.
The funeral services, which were
largely attended, were held at the
Methodist church at 2 o'clock Mon

Youthful Burglars Arrested.

From time to time within the past
few weeks mention has been made in
these columns of a series of petty
larcenies, unsuccessful efforts to
break and enter and latterly of two
successful burlaries. Last Wednes-
day morning it was learned that L. E..
] Pearce's hardware store had been en-
tered and revolver, some cartridges,
lot Of cutlery and some small articles
taken. Suspicion pointed strongly to
three young men as being implicated
in these crimes and they had been
watched for some time. The fact
that they had been round late the
night of the burglary and were miss
ing the morning after, convinced the
authorities that they were the guilty
parties, and warrants were sworn out
for Eddie Lofthus and Charles Gates
who were arrested the following even
ing, the former at Hancock and the
latter in town. Oscar Gillen was also
arrested the day following as an ac-
complice, he having been in company
with the other two for some time past. |
These parties had their examination
before Justice Gillespie on Friday,
and Eddie Lofthus was held to the
grand jury, having waived examina
ton. Gates and Gillen were dis
charged as there was no evidence to
hold them on the charge of burglary, |
although there are other charges that |
can and perhaps will be prepared |
against them later on.
The case against Eddie Lofthus is
positive, as not only was part of the
stolen property found on him but he
acknowledges having not only COM
mitted this but other offenses includ-
ing the entry of Northcott's store a
week or two ago. Gates, soon after
his arrest, gave the sheriff informa-
ton as to Lofthus' whereabouts and
that he and Gillen had been shown
the stolen property by Lofthus and
told where it was put. The marshall
found the property afterwards, but it
had been removed, probably by Gil
len, having been put in stocking
and thrown out on the roof of their
boarding house.
Young Lofthus, who is only sixteen
years old, is the son of Ole Lofthus of
Synnes, an honorable, influential and
we'll to do farmer, who it may be
'eadily imagined feels most keenly
lis hayward boys disgrace. Eddie
eft his home last spring and has been
about in the company of {
,icious, idle and dissolute compan-
ons all summer, and this last esca- '
oade is but what his parents and rel '
Ltives have dreaded, as the boy was t
uncomfortable, and impetuous, scorned 6
dvice, would heed no cautions, and
eemed possessed with desire to be
numbered among the dime novel
rider of heroes.
Much sympathy is expressed for
he prisoners parents and family as
hey are worthy and highly respected
eople. In conversation with Mr..
,ofthus he stated frankly that while
IL would be done that was possible
. do for his boy under the circum- |
tances, yet he wishes him to realize
lilly the result-of his hayward folly
nd thought that term in some re- ]
was needed to impress him 1
