Considerable credit is due the Great
Northern for their efforts to accommo-
date the business public, and the fact
of new fast way freight is fully ap.
preciated by our dealers, who are
enabled to have goods that are
shipped from st. Paul or Minneapolis
in the evening, on their counters next
morning. The train referred to,
leaves the cities in the evening and
arrives in Morris on its way west at 6
a. m.
Our high school foot ball team
visited Herman Saturday and re-
turned covered with glory, dust,
victory and bruises. The contest was
holly contested one and resulted 6
to in favor of Morris. A return
game will be played here ON Satur-
day of next week, and as it is the first
occasion when the Rugby game has
been played in Morris, it is probable
a large audience will witness the con-
test.
The jumping bean, so popular
fad at present, grows on bush that
is found in Mexico, and it is only on
certain varieties that the berries hav-
ing the ''jumps" grow. The beans
are the home of a little six legged
worm, and a curious mechanical COM
bination, between the elastic structure
of the wall of the seed or bean and
the worms muscles, produces the I'M
canny movements. Under favorable
circumstances the little worm develops
into pretty, dark grey butterfly.
Pursuant to notice and announce
ment, number of our citizens
assembled at Workmen hall last Fri
day evening and met Prof. Chase, land
after an informal discussion it was
decided to organize singing school.
For the purpose of making it &C
cessible to all, committee was ap-
pointed to solicit subscription to de-
fray cost of instruction and incidental
expenses. In this manner the cost
will be nominal, and it was also
arranged to have an hour one after
noon in each week for special in
struction for the juvenile classes. All
of our leading vecalists have signified
their intention to aid in making the
enterprise a success, the intention
being to, if possible, at later period,
organize chorus class. We hope
every effort will be made to ensure
success, as much benefit must ensue.
At the court house Tuesday evening
a fair sized audience, consisting
principally of people impelled by
curiosity and kids attracted by the
brass band, assembled at the court
house to hear D. P. O'Neill and J. r.
Holston expound populist theories
and l.. j. Schlatman do the funny
act. The two former did not make q
great success, but the latter carried
off his part with a naturalness that
convinced those present that the
circus ring rather than the farm, was
best suited to his abilities. There
was much disappointment expressed
over O'Neill's address, as it was
thought he would be logical or at
least reasonable, but as it was, he was
SO extravagantly ridiculous, that the
speech cost, instead of making him
votes. The surprising part of the
entire performance was the silly
absurdities introduced. There is too
high degree of intelligence in this
community to have childish nonsense
imposed on people in lieu of argu-
ment. It is a time for reason, not
burlesque.
