The following item taken fromsthe

Mr.. Jordan is we'll known here, having
resided here for some time past, His
friends will be pleased to note his
progress:
J. j. Jordan, an old warhorse in
North Dakota journalism, has as
sumed control of the Fargo Argus
and according to the announcement
seems to have become owner 1t was
only few days ago that Jordan was
booming Fargo in the Republican,
'the major" was shouting for the Red
river valley of the Nile in the Aargus,
nobody dared ask any questions ante
dating ones appearance on the far
side Of the Red, and wheat was a dol
lar bushel. Jordan is making as
good paper of the Argus as the
times will permit, and, what's more,
he's evidently straining to make both
ends meet. That is about the hard
est part of the work.

A quiet and pleasant wedding took
place at Assumption Church yester-

CALCULATIONS.
City politics are beginning to as
sumo tangible shape. The only
ticket we have heard of so far is the
following for the council: H. L.
Smith, president; Anton Watzke,
J. E. Danielson, Louis Thoele and
W. L. Colyer. We should Judge
from the above that they ought to be
very satisfactory to the people of
Morris, as they are all business men
with broad and conservative ideas.
We also understand the policy adopted
by these gentlemen is purely bust
ness administration, economy and a
reduction of taxes" There is no
doubt but what the people of this
village will welcome the last clause
especially of that policy, as every
body knows that the burden of taxes
on all property owners is simply
enormous, and the council that will
devise some means of Tightening that
burden will make record for them
selves for sometime to come. Samuel
Larson, as usual, will have no oppo-
sition as village treasurer, and neither
will D. I. Wheaton, as assessor.
Anton Anderson and A. McConvillle
are candidates for street commissioner.
j. D. Gillespie, SO far, is the only one
mentioned for the position of Justice
of the peace, although there are ru-
mors that there are others.
