livered in the NJ. E. church next Fri
day evening under the auspices of
the w. G. I. U. of this city. The
lecturer, Miss Jessie Alderman, one Of
the around the world missionaries
of the United States w. G. T. u, is
ore of the most noted of the present
time. She has recently returned from
tour of the foreign fields, including
the Transvaal country, of which we
have read so much about re Gently,
and consequently her lectures are
interesting as well as beneficial. The
lecture is free, except that collection
will be taken up. All are cordially
invited.

A GoodMove

The city authorities are to be com
mended on their acts and determine
ton to stop selling or giving away
liquor to habitual drunkards. Last
week two young men were arrested
and charged with procuring intoxicat-
ing liquor for Sailor" Thompson, a
sot and habitual drunkard. One Of
these, John Hanson by name, was
taken before Justice Stenger last
Saturday and convicted and SEN
fenced to twenty days in jail. The
other one was more fortunate, as the
the evidence was mainly hearsay, and
he was acquitted. The authorities
propose to put stop to this nefar-
ious business if they have to resort to
the extreme points of the law. They.
shonld receive the hearty cooperation
of all loyal citizens.

Progressive Principal.

The following clipping, taken from
the New PaynesvilIe Press will show
the people Of Morris what wise
choice our school board made. in Sc
curing Mr.. Ross as our principal. He
is highly esteemed by the New
Paynesville people, and leaves there
with one of the very best records ever
attained by any principal in the state:
Regret is expressed on all sides that
Prof Ross, who has been IN charge Of
the New Paynesville schools for the
past three years, has decided not to
accept the principalship of our schools
for another year, but has accepted a
like position at Morris. When Mr.,
Ross came to this city three years ago
he found the schools in deplorable
condition, and by ardent work and
never-ceasing energy, he has raised
the standard Of the schools until
they are now noted for being among
the best in the state He.is young
man, progressive and energetic, and
the citizens of Morris may we'll con-
graduate themselves that they were
so fortunate as to secure the services
of Prof. Ross as principal of their
schools. Mr.. Ross and his estimable
wife have hosts of warm friends here
who very much regret their departure,
but heartily recommend them to the
people of Morris.

dence Of his son, Austin Hagen, in
this CITY, Thov. Austenson, passed
into the great beyond from whence
no imam has ever returned, at the ripe
old age of "a years. The deceased

county, having removed here thirty
years ago, when Morris was but a
tent city, and located in the town of
Framnas, and has been a resident of
Stevens county up to the time Of his
demise. During his residence here
all his acquaintance became deeply
attached to him and he was highly
esteemed. He is survived by two
sons and two daughters. The funer-
al occurs today, when the remains
will be inferred in the Framnas ceme-
terry besides those of his wife, who
preceded him several years ago.
The bereaved relatives have the SYM
pathv of the entire community in
their dire distress.

tire county, that they have decided
to 60 ahead with the work The

TIE MISSING LINK
To Norris Completeness to Be
Supplied by Mr.. Good.

For some months past, and in fact,
ever since the closing of the Spooner
hall to the public by changing it into
lodge rooms, our city has been bereft
OF room for any large public gather
ing, or an opera house. And as the
old adage goes: 'You never miss the
water till the we'll runs dry" there
fore, the awful realization of the need
OF an opera house never appeared to
dawn upon our citizens until they
were wholly without one. Now our
good citizens are hailing with delight
the good news that the missing link
|. is soon to be supplied, thanks to Mr..
Goods generosity by one Of Morris
worthy business men. J. D. Good,
is remodeling his building, next to
the post-office, into first-class opera
house. A stage and dressing rooms
are built IN the back part of the first
floor, and raised seats will be put in.
The second floor will be taken out
and a gallery put in and fixed up in
frst-class shape. The house when
finished will have seating capacity
Of about 500. Morris has been depriv
ing her theater-going people ofone
of their main pleasures by not having
"a hall, and nov they are feeling more
than greatful to Mr.. Good for his
public spiritedness,

The musical treat given the people
of Morris last Saturday evening at
the Congregational church was in
deed a treat. 1t is we'll known that
these estimable ladies are not the
best adopts in their special line, but
it is unquestionably a fact that they
are the best that hive been in Morris,
without exception. They are all
artists and are deserving of the high
est praise Of the most artistic man
ner in which each rendered her part.
We could enlogize on the trio to the
extent of two or three columns and
then do them only half justice; but
suffice to say that they were simply
grand, and were greeted by a full
house of thoroughly delighted listen

Heavy Frost.

Last Saturday and Sunday cold
northwester swept down upon us
increasingly for forty eight hours, APP
parently gloating over our shivering
discomforture, and Sunday evening
there came sudden calm that spread
over all. The consequence was that
the young juvenile, if he had been an
early riser, could have went coasting
on our sidewalks, SO thick was the
Hon. Jack Frost. All perishable
Vegetation that was left exposed is no
more. The heaviest damage is felt
in garden stuff, small grains being
unaffected. The city watering trough
was covered with ice. This was
followed by warmer weather.

Rev. Tuson, of the Episcopal church

He informed us that he was author
lied by the bishop to come here and
fix up the Episcopal church and form
a society here. He expects to get the
aid and cooperation of our citizens
here to assist him in his worthy pro-

The Episcopal church of this city
has been deserted and neglected for a

be revived. Let all our good people
assist Rev. Tuson in his worthy mis-
sion.

An OId-rime Egg-shaped watch

One of the most curious watches ever
made was, fashioned by an illiterate
peasant in the time of Catherine II. of
Russia. 1t was musical repeater about
the size and shape of a common hen egg.
Inside of it was representation of the
tomb of Christ guarded by sentinels.
By pressing a spring a mock stone
would roll back, the sentinels would
fall down, the angels would appear and
the holy woman enter the sepulcher.
