Caught in the Act.

A clever capture of couple OF
sneak thieves was made Monday
afternoon by John Spooner and NJ. B.
Lord. On the arrival of the after
noon freight train, these gentlemen
noticed a couple of men get off
the cars and go to the house of John
Wetter, near the old creamery.
Noticing they acted suspiciously,
Messrs. Spooner and Lord started for
the house and caught the two fellows
as they were leaving, and they found
they had partially ransacked the
premises, having gained entrance
through the rear door, the Wet.
ters' being absent at the time
They Immediately collared the thieves
and turned them over to the officers
and on searching them, quite a lot Of
stolen effects were found on one oil
them. They gave their names as
Henry Farrell and Geo. Smith, and
on their preliminary examination
Smith was held and Farrell released
There was no question as to Farrell
being equally guilty, but there was
hardly sufficient evidence to warrant
his being held. All the missing
articles were recovered, and but for
the fortunate discovery of the theft
there is little question but that the
thieves would have returned to the
train and made good their escape.

Summer School Notes.

An undiminished attendance, in
creased interest and the gratifying
progress, testify to the efficiency Of
the able corps of instructors as well
as to the zeal of those in attendance,
Sociability prevails, and there is
also harmony and emulation, con-
ditions that must produce beneficial
results.
Orderly, methodic and systematic
work Prof. Davis insists upon.
De Tocqeville says "the instruction
which enlightens the understanding
is not separated from the moral edu-
cation which amends the hart"
The Prussians have maxim that
whatever you would have appearin a
nations life you must put in the
public school"
The enrolment this year is greater
for two counties than it was two years
ago for three counties.
If constant application and COM
petent instruction, will accomplish re-
suits, and they usually do, then the
teachers in attendance will be re-
paid for their patient labors and the
instructors for their painstaking
efforts.

Sudden Death,

Julia, the wife of Patrick Feely, of
the town of Horton, was found dead
in her bed last Friday morning,
Her end though sudden was not
wholly unexpected, for she had beer
a sufferer for many years, having
been bed ridden for over two years
past. She was seemingly as usual
but an hour or two before her death,
and life had hardly left the afflicted
body before those in attendance re-
turned. She was native of Ireland
and sixty seven years of age, and
leaves husband and three children
to mourn her loss.
The funeral, which was largely at
tended, occurred on Sunday al
Assumption church, the remains be
ing inferred in the Catholic cemetery
at this place.

Our Guests.

A distinguished party of visitors,
consisting of representative British
and Canadian farmers, with repre-
sentatives from the Minneapolis
Board of Trade, arrived Yesterday
afternoon and remained until to-day
noon, inspecting the agricultural and
other resources of this part of the
state. During their stay they are the
guests of the city, and our citizens will
afford them opportunity to visit the
wheat fields in this locality and let
them see for themselves the con.
ditions of country and crop, and meet
and converse with our people.
The following comprise the party:
r. II. Anderson, Ireland; T. r.
Stevenson, England; A..C. Buchanan,
Canada, and the following from
Minneapolis: J. ]. Windrum and
Capt. Reno.
On arrival the guests were met by
the committee and quartered at The
Morris, and after brief rest were
driven to the ball game and about the
county, part of the hailed district in
Darnen being visited.
A reception was rendered the
visitors at the residence of w. J.
Munro, president of the council, a
general invitation being extended tc
all who desired to meet the visitors
| The ladies committee had the in.
terror # the residence prettily deco,
rated with the national colors, and 8
profusion of wild flowers, and the
lawn was illuminated for the occasion
Light refreshments were served tt
all attending, a large number greeting
the distinguished guests.
4 Much credit is due the ladies com
mittee, consisting of Mesdames H. L
Hulburd, III. S. Judson, E. J. Jones, J
House, L. E. Pearce and w. j. Munro
as to their admirable arrangement
and preparation the success of tn
evening was in a great measure due.
The reception was enlivened by mu
. steal selections, Mrs. E. J. Jones, Mrs
L. 0. Hollister and Miss Cora HUI
burd participating, and the guest
Il
were very much pleased to meet will
our people in an informal way, hayin,
many sincere compliments for our cit
liens, and speaking in high terms o
the Inequalities shown.
Owing to the hail storm the evenin.
excursion through the eastern part o
the county was abandoned and to
days program is for a ride west o
Morris to the Rockdale Farm, return
ing by Frog lake and through part 0
Darnen. The visitors left at nool

Base Ball.

Three great games of base ball be-
tween the Morris and Brainerd clubs
for yesterday, to-day and tomorrow,
provide fitting close to the most
successful season our home club has
ever known. We hope the tournment
will meet with generous patronage,
as not only will the several games be
we'll worth seeing and be excellent
exhibitions of the national game, but
considerable necessary expense has
been incurred and the gate receipts
are depended upon to make up in
part for the outlay.
In the game yesterday the home
club went to pieces in the second
inning, the Brainerd club profiting by
the numerous inexcusable errors to
pile up scores as they do logs in that
country, and got twelve runs banked.
Fleetham was pounded all over the
diamond and it kept the visitors run
ming to keep out of the way of each
other. The score of 25 to 6 shows the
way things went in Brainerd's favor,
and towards the last innings the
visitors began to play loosely, but
then they could afford it. To-day's
game we hope to see we'll played, no
natter who wins.
The Birch lake fishing party, con-
sisting of Messrs. G. L. Brown, o. O.
Hanson, S. A. Flaherty and G.. III.
Munro returned Friday last, and they
had a most successful trip. The av-
erage catch was over one hundred and
fifty per day, bass, pike and pickerel
being the principal catch, the greater
number being bass. Some ofthe fish
were the finest seen in years, several
bass of unusual size being caught.
Mr.. Hanson claims first and sweep
stakes prizes and wants a special
prize also, but as to who is to get the
BOBBY prize we can't find out, but as
Ole claims everything as usual, he
will by force of cinch habit, claim low
also.

HAIL. STORM.

On Monday afternoon furiou
hail storm swept ever a portion 0
this county, and great deal o
damage was done to crops through
the county, while in town scarcely ;
house escaped having the window
glass smashed. 1t was one of the
most terrific hail storms that evel
visited this locality, but fortunately
the area covered was not large. The
storm passed through the county
along the Pomme de Terre river
cutting strip amile in width, and all
crops in its path we're swept clean,
while those on the edge OF the
hailed territory sustained more OF
less damage.
The reports from Swan Lake, Nor
ris, Framness, Hodges and Darnen
show some total damage and con-
siderable partial destruction.
The crops in the east side of the
town of Morris, up to the bluffs is
damaged on an average of one-fourth;
from the bluffs across the bottom
lands and Tor half mile east of the
river every thing has been swept
clean. The storm turned east at
Riverside and material damage has
been done south of this point and east
of Hancock.
Among those who have sustained
total loss of crops are J. Hadler, b.
Bruins, j. Hartrich, A. Lee, A. Satter,
E. P. Watson, M. Kahn, P. McDer-
mott, E. P. Watson, III. w. Stone
& Co., Sisters of Mercy, H. Baldwin,
M. Diederich, M. Calvin, J. Coleman
W. A. Shipman and T. Gaughan.
The adjoining farms north, west
and east of those above mentioned
are more or less injured: P. McCarrol,
J. McCarrol, A. Becker, G. X. Light,
FL. Ellsworth, J. Christianson. Mrs. K.
Calvin and several others have had
their crops seriously hurt and loss
will average half of their crops.
In town the trees were badly
stripped of their foliage, the gardens
destroyed and several hundred dollars
worth Of glass broken.
A conservative estimate of acreage
totally damaged is not to exceed
fifteen hundred acres, while the
acreage partially injured is about two
thousand acres. It was very fortunate
that the extent of territory covered is
so small comparatively, as the storm
was the fercest ever seen in the area
covered by it.
The county for a milo north, east
and south of the village limits
suffered the me g serious loss; in fact
il the region described, the loss is
total. ..-e
Later reports of damage show that
the storm swept mile east of Han
cock, and destroyed considerable
uncut grain in that section. Careful
estimates place the acreage destroyed
in that vicinity at between one and
two thousand acres. 81.

Chintz Bugs.

The appearance of that destructive
pest the chintz bug, in an adjoining
county and right at our door, as it
were, may we'll be received with grave
apprehension, and the most vigorous
measures should be instituted to pre-
vent its spread. Prompt, effective
and Intelligent steps should be taken
to prepare for the determination of
these insects, and it would be we'll for
the officials of not only Pope, but also
Stevens county to confer with ex-
perts and take such action or pre-
cautions as their experience may
suggest.
From prominent resident of our
village, who witnessed the devastation
wrought in Wisconsin by these pests
some years ago, we learn that they
are scourge and plague that must
be fought with every means at com
mand. Such was the condition in
Wisconsin at that time, that farmers
had to abandon spring wheat growing.
The bugs attack the roots of the
wheat and strip the covering, causing
the heads to drop and killing the
stalk. Corn is also attacked, the
pests beginning at the. outside rows.
The methods adopted to stamp them
out is to pillow deep furrow on the
inside of the rows attacked, into this
the bug falls, when they are covered
with straw and brush. They nest in
the roots of corn stalks, and it is q
good plan to pull the stalks and
burn them.
| This dry hot season is especially
favorable to the chintz bug, and
hence it is advisable to make al
proper efforts to exterminate them as
far as possible before they hatch out
another season.
| A Quick-Acting Powder: Cream oil
tarter, 3 ounces; baking soda (bicar-
Donate soda), 4 ounces; starch,
ounce.
/ A Long Keeping Powder: Cream
of tarter, 8 ounces; baking soda,
ounces; starch, ounces.
The materials should be perfectly
dry. The starch can be dried in the
oven for a short time, leaving the
oven door open to prevent from
browning. Mix the soda and starch
on clean board or table with the fiat
side of table knife, crushing out all
the Jumps, and place in a glass fruit
can. The main secret of making a
good powder, when the materials are
all right, is the thorough mixing
After mixing the soda and starch ado
the cream of tartar and thoroughly
mix again. The starch serves as
filling, and prevents the cream of tar
tar and soda from acting upon eacL
other and liberating gas before the
baking powder is used. Use the
same amount of these powders as O
the common grades.

Union S. S. Picnic.

A large number of the children,
with their parents, left on Friday last
for Starbuck, where the annual picnic
of the Congregational and Methodist
Sabbath schools was held. The
morning was ushered in with good
cooling rain that laid the dust and the
day was perfect one. At the lake
side young and old betook themselves
to whatever form of pleasure seeking
they preferred, and with boat rides,
fishing parties, bathing, wading and
the like, the young folks especially
had very enjoyable outing.
