Eminent Physician Gone.

DR.. d. r. Sutherland died on Arbor
day at IL o'clock a. M, after just one
weeks sickness of pnuemonia. The
angel of death descended once more
in our midst last week and picked
out one of our noblest men; man
who has administered to the cares of
the sick and needy for the past
twenty-five years; a man who was
beloved by all who knew him, and a
man whose ambitious desires carried
him almost to the top of fame in his
profession, being acknowledged one
of the best physicians and surgeons
in the state of Minnesota. He con-
tracted pneumonia while visiting
patients through that awful damp
and chilly weather a couple of weeks
ago and was taken to his bed on the
18th. Everything that skill and
science could do was done, but with
out avail. He gradually sank from
the beginning, until the oath when he
breathed his last in this world of care
and trouble, surrounded by a heart
broken family. DR.. Wheaton, of St.
Paul; DIR. Jones, of Minneapolis; and
DR.. Hand, of Litchfeld, were con-
stantly by his side during the last
of his sickness, and were doing all
that human hands could do.
DR.. Sutherland was born in Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, Nov. 9, 1852; was
graduate Of the Columbia college of
physicians and surgeons in 1894. In
December, 1873, he married Miss
Pauline Doty, of Poughkeepsie, and
this happy union was blessed by
three children, Mrs. L, J. Lundemo,
Mae and Douglass. In 1879 he re-
moved to Stevens county and settled
on the Sutherland farm, and five or
six years later removed to Morris and
practiced his profession here ever
since. He was also very prominent
among fraternal societies, holding
many Of the highest Offices. He is
survived by wife and three children
and father, all of whom we're pres
ent to the last.
The funeral services we're heidi at
the residence at 70 o'clock, After
which the remains I we're taken to
Litchfield for interment. They We're.
accompanied by L. ]. Lundemdand
members of the Knights Of Pythias
and Knights Templer.

A quiet and pleasant wedding took
place this morning at the Congrega-

The lucky winner Of better half was

porous farmer of McHenry county,
North Dakota, and the captured prize

ladies of the town of Morris Miss
Mayfred A., daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

on the happy twain by their large
circle of friends, in which the TRIB-

A New Bank.

Here we have it in nutshell. Pa
ruse the following, clipped from the
Elbow Lake Herald and be enlight-
ened, as it claims to know whereof it
speaks: "Last Thursday Messrs. a.
Thorson of this place and G.. II. Raiter
of Alexandria executed papers for the
organization of new state bank at
Morris with capital of $4,000. The
new institution will be ready for BUSH
ness about the middle of May. 1t
will not be connected with the First
National Bank, which recently failed,
in any manner. The gentlemen who
are backing the new bank are recog
nized heavyweights in financial circles
and experienced bankers. Mr.. Thor
son is president of Bank of Elbow
Lake and connected with several other
banks in different parts of the state.
Mr.. Raiter is large stakeholder OF
the First National Bank at Alexandria
and owner Of the Bank of Evansville.
Mr.. Tos. E. Dybdal. ssnow cashier of
the Bank of Paynesville, will serve in
a like capacity for the Morris Bank.
Mr.. Dybdal is most efficient and
obliging gentleman. and better man
could not be found for the place.
Morris is fortunate in securing such a
solid institution"

Damon and Pythias.

The Sandford Dodge Lyceum Com
pany, under the auspices of the, K. of
P. lodge, presented the great drama
"Damon and Pythias" to large and
appreciative audience at the opera
last Thursday evening. The play is
strong and deep and it takes master
mind to play it with effect. In fact
it is classed as drama bordering on
tragedy, and it takes natural TRACE
dian to make it a success. Sandford
Dodge makes an excellent Damon,
and acquitted himself in fine shape,
he being the strongest character in
the play. Laura Frankenfeld as
Calanthe played her part in a very
touching and realistic manner that
demanded the closest attention of the
audience. Soares made good Pyth-
las and played his part we'll, yet there
could be some improvement in his
voice. In fact the whole company
are deserving of much praise in the
way they handled themselves, and the
K. of 2. lodge is to be congratulated
in their success at having secured
such an excellent company. 1t is un-
doubtedly the best theatrical troupe
that has visited this city in long
time.

THE THRONE OF THUNDER.
e Is the Highest Point OH the Western
Side Of Africa.

& Is the Highest Point OH the Western
Side Of Africa.
Mungo Nam LobeL, the throne, or
place, of thunder, as the natives call
It, the peak Of Kameruns, AS the whites
,all it, is the highest point on the west
srn side Of the African continent, says
National Review. The first view the
voyager gets of it, who, coming for
weeks along low shores and up the
stagnant rivers fringed with mangrove
swamp is a thing no man can ever for
get. Suddenly, right up out Of the sea,
the great mountain rises to its 1850
feet, while close at hand, to westward,
lowers the lovely island mass Of Fer
nando Pc to it's 10, 100 feet, and, great
as is It's first charm, every time you see
1t it becomes greater although 1t Is
never the same. Five times l have
been in the beautiful bay at its foot
and have never seen it twice alike.
Sometimes 1t is wreatked with indigo
black tornado clouds, sometimes crest
I'd with snow, sometimes standing out
hard and clear as though made Of metal
and sometimes softly gorgeous, with
green, gold, purple and pink vapo!p
tinted by the sunset. There are only
two distinct mountains or peaks to
mis- glorious thing that biologists bru-
hlly call IAN intrusive mass"-Big
Kamerun and Little Kamerun. The
latter, Mungo Nah Etlndah, has not
yet been scaled, though it is only $500
feet. One reason for this doubtless
is that people DESTROYS of going up
mountains, rather rare form OF
human being in stricken, over
worked west Africa, naturally try for
the big peak; also the little peak is
mostly sheer cliff and covered with
almost impenetrable bush. Behind the
Kamerun mountain, inland, there are
two chains Of mountains, or one chain
DETECTED, bearing the names of the
Rumbi and Onion mountains. These
are little known at present and are
clearly no relation of Mungo's. They
are almost at right angles to it, and
are, l believe, infinitely older in struc-
ture and continuous with the many
named range We know in Kongo Fran
caise as the Sierra del Crystal. In a
southwest direction from Kamerun
mountain, out in the Atlantic, is a
series of volcanic islands, presumably
belonging to the same volcanic line
of activity-Principe, 5000 feet; San
Thome, 4,913 feet, and, farther away
still, Ascension, st. Helena and the
Tristan d'Acunha groups.

QUEENS CONTEMPORARIES.
Those Who Have Passed Away During
Her Maiesty's Reign.


Those Who Have Passed Away During
Her Majesty's Reign.
Where, midst the countless inhabi-
tantA of the British empire at home and
abroad, is there any one now living
who can have known, seen and con-
versed with so many of her greatest
| and most illustrious contemporaries as
our good and gracious queen? says Lon
don Telegraph. In politics, in art and
science, in peace and war, in church
and state, in literature and poetry, in
invention and engineering, in music
and song, in the wide field of social
success, in charm of conversation, OF
personal beauty and linguistic attain
nents, harly a man or woman mas
won fame and distinction without hav-
ing been honored by the queen with
one or more interviews. Were we to
attempt to recall the last army OF the
departed that she has known and holds
in her faithful memory this column
might easily be swollen into volume.
Here, for instance, are some OF those
familiar people; death has made them
dear" of whom Crabbe spoke in lines
which Sir Walter Scott could never read
without a tear. People who, like the
specters appearing to Britomart In Mer-
Inns magic glass, must, from time 70
time. flash before her majesty's retros-
pective eyes and fill her mind with
gentle, pleasing melancholy which re-
sembles sorrow only as the mist resem-
bles rain" The queen has outllved
all the members of the privy council
who were alive in 1887. All the peers
who held their titles in 1897, except
the earl of Darnley, who was 10, and
Lord Nelson, who was IA, in that year.
All the members who sat in the house
of commons on her accession to the
throne, except Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.
Charles Villiers, the present duke OF
Northumberland, the earl OF Mexbor-
ough and the earl of Mansfield, and MI
John Temple Leader. Her majesty mas
seen eleven lord chancellors, ten prime
ministers, six speakers OF the mouse
of commons, at least three bishops OF
every see and five or six of many sees,
five archbishops of Canterbury and SIX
archbishops of York, and five com
manders-in-chief. She has seen i've
dukes of Norfolk succeed each other as
earls marshal and has outlived every
duke and duchess and every marquis
and marchioness who bore that rank In
1887. She has outlived every member
of the Jockey club and every master
of foxhounds that fiourished in 1887.
She has seen seventeen presidents Of
the United States, ten viceroys' of Can
ada fifteen viceroys Of India, and
France successfully ruled by one king,
one emperor and six presidents of
republic. The list, indeed, might be
even further extended.
