Poor Farm

Some months ago the county COM
missioners purchased poor farm in
the town of Pepperton and have been
making some Improvements on it, and
on Monday last the commissioners
took a ride out to the farm on tour
of inspection previous to accepting
the work, which was the building, or
rather the charging of house. They
all expressed themselves highly
pleased with the building. The COM
missioners are to be commended on
their profitable investment in pur-
chasing the poor farm. They GER
tainly secured a good bargain as the
farm is one of the best in that section
and it is equipped with good first
class buildings, or will be when the
house gets the finishing touches. The
house is large and comfortable thir-
teen room house, well ventilated and
supplied with water, all Of which cost
the nominal sum of about So, 900 the
farm alone is worth more. Then, too,
they have been fortunate in securing
a first class oyerseer. Mr.. J. II. Muir
ray is practical farmer, steady and
reliable and thoroughly understands
the handling of stock. It will un-
do1btedly prove one of the most prof
table investments the county has
ever made. The building will be
ready to receive the county's poor in
about week or ten days.

Crops.

The farmers of this county on an
average certainly have no cause for
complaint of the condition of crops.
A drive from Morris to the county
poor farm disclosed to the writer some
as fine fields of grain as anyone
could wish. There is an abundance
of straw this year. Wheat and oats
are headed with long and healthy
heads; fax is thick and in blossom;
corn is looking fine and most of it was
over knee high on the 4th, and pota-
toes are looking splendid. Taking
it all through of all kinds of farm
produce, the farmer, if nothing un-
looked for interferes, will harvest
large yield this year, and the only
thing to pray for is better prices, and
that will come as soon as Mckinley is
elected.

The Chain Gang.
elected.

The people of Morris as rule are
very courteous and obliging, but there
are times when even patience ceases
to be virtue. They do not mind
feeding forty or fifty tramps daily,
but when it comes down to employ
ing an extra servant to answer the
back door calls of the weary wag-
gler," they think it time to call a halt
consequently Mayor Camp issued an
order for a chain gang to be started.
and Monday morning the wearies
we're rounded up and put under the
eagle eye Of Special Policeman Ryan
and started to work on the drain near
the Interstate elevator. In the morn
ing one of the force swore he would
Lot work, but six hours in close cell
with nothing to eat but bread and
water soon brought him to time and
he was glad to 60 to work in the af-
ternoon. This is claimed to be the
most effectual plan to rid city of
the tramp nuisance, as several cities
have tried it and say that in few
days tramp cannot be found with
microscope inside the city limits. 1t
is evidently very cheap way of get
ting street work and Improvements
done. Let the good work go on.

BASE BALL.

The Morris base ball tossers visited
Breckenridge the 18th and had a
most enjoyable day of it, besides
winning hard game of hall. Breck4
enridge has the finest natural ball
park in the country, where the audi
ence can sit comfortably in the shade
and yet be near enough to see every
play. Still the people kick on fif-
teen cents admission, women and
children free. The Breckenridge
management, as we'll as the individual
players, showed themselves royal en-
tertainers from the moment the Nor
ris boys arrived in town and nothing
was too good for them. Will say they
never played ball in more hospitable
town. AS for the game it was good,
though the Morris boys gave evidence
of their superiority early. The score
was IL to 2 in favor of Morris. The
Breckenridge fellows couldn't solve
Hears bad ones and only eight of
them reached first base, three hits
being made, while Is of them shat
tered the beautiful ozone in vain
endeavor to dent the pig skin. Hen
ry and Richards pitched for Brecken-
ridge, and though they would doubt
less prove puzzlers for most of the
amateurs, the Morris aggregation
found them for safe hits repeatedly,
making total of twenty hits, home
runs, three baggers, two baggers and
singles. Nine of our boys however
fell down before the twisters of Hen
ry and Richards, Stinson caught for
Morris and shows that little prac-
tice will make him better than ever.
Everyone seemed satisfied with the
of ball and should our boys
visit Breckenridge again thew feel
assured of good treatment. If the
Breckenridge team ever gives our
boys a chance to reciprocate they will
do their best to show their apprecia-
ton.
Monday last crowd purporting to
be ball PLAYERS, arrived here from Or
tonville. 1t was expected to play
them one game, but they kicked and
would play three or none, Every
body knows the rest; they didn't earn
a single run, though the Morris boys
relented and let them have three,
which they should not have done.
Only two hits we're made off of Hill.
and up to the ninth inning only two
of the Ortonville team had reached
first, one of them being hit by a
pitched ball. The score was Sc to 3,
and there's no telling what it would
have been had not our boys got
tired of batting and running bases.
Hill struck out Is and Stinson caught
a good game, and the Morris fans
should be well satisfied with the
game our boys are putting up.
The Morris team intend starting on
a trip to Crookston, Moorhead, Grand
Forks, Fargo and Lakato the first of
the week. This seems to be the only
course to pursue in order to get some
good games here.
There will be a series of games with
the Pickets Of St. Paul in the near
future.

Burglary.

L. H. Shuman's tailor shop was
broken into some time during Sun
day night and two new suits of
clothes, two secondhand suits and
one pair of pants taken. The thief
forced an entrance in the rear of the
shop by breaking out a pane of glass.
It was evidently done by an expert,
as he has SO effectually covered up
his tracks as to leave no clue,
