| Section of the new election Law
says that "a person shall not be con
sidered to have gained a residence il
any county into which he comes To-
temporary purposes merely, without
the intention of making sych q
county his home"
The grand jury brought in indict-
ments against the following parties
charged with offences named: Martin
Thompson and Arne Erickson for
stealing buggy, grand larceny in
second degree. George Smith, burg
larry in third degree.
In secret society circles, interest is
being renewed now that the summer
months are passed, but it will be after
election, before the several lodges get
down TO business once again. The
prospects are Tor an active season
among the several orders in Morris.
The name of s. e. Murphy, formerly
editor OF HE Sun, has been placed
upon the democratic Legislative ticket
in the place of Charles Little, of West
Duluth, who declined to be u can
didate. Steve has many friends in
Stevens county who will wish him
success.
One evening last week, officers from
Hancock were in town looking for a
fellow named "Scotty' who was sus-
pected OF having robbed the proprietor
OF the Hancock livery. We also learn
that j. Il. Holton's premises were
burglarized Tuesday night, about SIS
being taken.
We give space in this issue to G.
condensed statement of the school re,
port, and also a record Of averages in
the several classes of the high school.
The purpose of the latter statement
is, not only advise the progress
made by individual scholars, but as
all incentive to greater efforts.
Deputy sheriff Stoneberg brought
prisoner to the county Jail on Tues
day. The fellows name is Coghlan
and he will serve thirty day sentence
on charge of assault and battery.
From all accounts the prisoner looked
as if he had got about all the punish
ment fists could administer.
Another instance of the value of
The Sun as an advertising medium
occurred this week. Mr.. w. l..
Wilson, of Chicago, lost a railroad
ticket and the advertisement he in
serted had barely been set in type
when the ticket was found.
Rev. G. NJ. G.. HARDWOOD, formerly
of Marshall, Mimi, will preach in the
Congregational church on Sabbath
morning and evening, Oct. 18th. The
Congregational society have invited
Mr.. HARDWOOD to visit Morris with the
view, if pastor and congregation are.
mutually satisfied, to extend formal
call.
Campaign documents of the roor-
back variety ought to be taken with a
tongs-and put in the fire. This is
especially true of statements, reports
and circulars issued Immediately
preceding an election, for they are set
.afoat for the sole purpose of doingan
injury and not give time to refute or
disprove them.
County Treasurer Carl Buckentin
has just received Sc, 591 .95, the amount
due Stevens county ON the public
school apportionment. This is snug
sum, but if there was a greater effort
to have pupils attend school for the
time necessary to entitle districts to
draw their pro-rata, it would increase
the sum several hundred dollars.
This is court week and the average
citizens has suspicious eye on the
sheriff and his deputies, anticipating
a subpoena for jury duty whenever
these officials are seen outside of the
court house during the time court is
in session. 1t would seem as if a
place on the regular panel, was the
best way to escape doing jury duty in
important cases.
On Monday evening the audience
assembled to hear Rev. T. McCleary
was not as large as the merits of the
lecture or the purpose to which the
proceeds were to be devoted, deserved
Those present were however amply
repaid for their attendance, as thu
lecture was not only bright, witty anc

also instructive.
! Such exhibits, as thesparring mattel
secretly arranged for and which
occurred last Saturday evening, ar
neither elevating, commendable o
creditable, and it is pity our ordi
nances do not cover offenses of thi
kind. The state law, while it relate
to prize fighting, does not seem t
apply to sparring contests, and tn
