The sun. [volume] (Morris, Stevens County, Minn.) 1882-1895, 1894-06-07


Wednesday, June 2lst. Let us all
turn out on that day and have a
good fashioned old time, such as we
used to have when we were young.
j. D. Coop.
It would seem that we are not to
celebrate July 4th this year, and we
regret that some simple and compar-
atively inexpensive program could not
have been arranged. However, if we
must have the usual program, or none
at all, it had better be none this year
by all means.
We see by the Glenwood Herald
that j. o. Estenson, of Cyrus,
has sold his half section farm to
Larse Griade, for a consideration of
SIS per acre, and will use the funds
derived from the sale, in the compile
ton of the -four mill he is now build
ing in Cyrus.
Keep track of the caucus notices,
attend the caucuses and participate
in the proceedings, then you will have
done your duty and stop all chance
for airy subsequent dissatisfaction.
Stevens county Republicans must be
united and to be so, the primaries will
have to be we'll attended.
Floods in Montana, Idaho and
Washington are seriously delaying
transcontinenta traffic on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific, and
during the first Of the week a stretch
Of ninety-Iive miles of the latter line,
extending from Horse Plains, Mon
tana, to Hope, Idaho, was under
water.
Department Commander Van SAINT
is quite sanguine over St. Pa1rs
prospects of securing the national G..
A. r. encampment for 1895. The
question will be definitely decided at
Pitt9burg, where this years en-
campment will be held, and we hope,
for the benefit of the grand army of
Minnesota, that it will be secured for
this state.
T. McCanney, Jr. and lady friend
on Sunday noon came very near an
accident. Their horses started to run
away, left the street opposite the Nor
ris hotel, and jumped the ditch, the
occupants being thrown to the bottom
Of the vehicle, but fortunately there
was no damage and the horses were
got under control before the tracks
were reached.
A comedy company"Pages Players, .
that was billed for three nights this
week, arrived Monday, but owing to
lack of scenery did not give per-
Torrance here. They left in the
evening for Benson en- route to
Appleton. We cannot expect to get
shows to visit Morris until we have at
least some scenery in the hall now
used, but the town sadly needs an
opera house.
Thomas Thomasson and his sol
Hegbert, left Tuesday evening for ,
visit to Norway, Mr.. Thomasson be
ing anxious to revisit the old HON,
and once more meet with the friend
and acquaintance of his youth, ant
review again the familiar scenes O
childhood days. The trip will neces
sarily occupy the summer months ant
will be a delightful one for many rea
sons. Rev. P. Whittier and Ole Jes
ness were also in the party.
Sheriff Thorson, of Pope county
brought over John Quist, of Glen
wood, and lodged him in jai
here for safe keeping. This party
held until the term of court at Glen
wood next week, on charge Q
criminal assault on the person of on
Amenda Monson. The woman in tn
case skipped out, but was caught a
Sank Centre, and is now held i
custody at Glenwood, so as to ensur
her appearance when wanted.
: Many who visited the cemeteries O
3 decoration day, were surprised to not
the rapidity with which they are bt
= ing filed, and it was suggested b
more than one, that additional an
j adjoining ground, should be pu
} chased while it can be procured 6
g reasonable prices. 1t is only que
e ton of a short time ere the purchas
will have to be made, and it might /
well to act on the suggestion an
either purchase or contract for some
the adjacent ground.
: At a meeting of the board of Morr
Driving Park Association held at IL
