MISGUIDING FIGURES.

A Texas Railway guide published at
st. Louis, gives San Antonio popu-
lation of 37,673, while it claims for Dali
las a population of 63,645. This is a
mistake. The last census gives San
Antonio a population over every city
in the state. It is estimated that San
Antonio's population is 5000. This
Miss Guide ought to be more careful
in her figures,

Tribune Corroborated.

It has been stated three different
times in these columns that the Great
Northern would-remove its yards and
possibly the depot to the western
part of town, despite the fact that our
contemporary, who has been taking
a Rip Van Wrinkle snooze, came out
last week and claimed that all rumors
to that effect we're but idle stories"
The TRIBUNE has been corroborated
in it's previous statement by a letter
from j. j. Hill personally, which was
received last Monday by A. Watzke,
president of the council. In this let
ter Mr.. Hill states that it is an abso-
Lutte necessity to either close one of
the streets crossing its tracks or re-
move its depot and yards further
west. And, as the closing Of one of
the three streets is entirely out of the
question, there is no alternative left
to Mr.. Hill but to move. He states
in his letter that an early reply is
necessary that in case of moving they
want the grading done before frost
sets in.
The council held a special meeting
Monday evening and discussed the
matter. A reply was sent to Mr.. Hill
asking him not to remove the depot
farther west than Tenth street, and
also requested that representative
of the road be sent to consult with
the council.

McOuaid= Sutherland

The following from the Minneapo-
lis Times of yesterday will no doubt
be of much interest to Miss Mae
Sutherland's large circle of friends in
this city:
Cards will be issued to-day to the
marriage of Miss Mae Sutherland Of
Litchfeld, Mimi, and Craig McQuaid
of Omaha. Neb. Miss Sutherland is
the daughter of the late DR.. D. R.
Sutherland of Morris, Mimi, who was
very we'll known in Minneapolis.
Miss Sutherland, with. her mother,
has spent the past two winters in
Minneapolis, and has made many
warm personal friends. Mr.. McQuaid
formerly resided in this city and is
we'll known here. The marriage will
occur Oct. IL in Litchfeld. Mr.. and
Mrs. McQuaid will reside in Omaha"
Morris tribune., 1897-09-29
Village Council,

At a meeting Of the village council
last Thursday evening resolution
was passed prohibiting justices of the
peace from holding justice court in
the council chamber. It has always
been customary whenever case of
any Importance came up in the justice
court requiring considerable room to
hold the sessions in the council
chamber of the city hall, which priYil-
eye was always granted through &C
commodation by the council, 1t
seems that the justices have adopted
no means of cleaning up the room
after one of these sessions, which, we
are sorry to say, is always in de-
plorable condition, as the room is
generally filed with spectators who
smoke and chew tobacco and expector-
ate where they please, and the coun-
Gil do not feel as though they are in
duty bound to go to the expense of
cleaning up after justice court when
they allow the use of the room through
courtesy to the justices. If the JUS
tees Of the peace would agree to see
that the room is cleaned and put in
proper shape at the adjournment of
court, we presume the resolution
would be rescinded, otherwise there
can be no blame attached to the
council for taking the step they have.

At dinner party given Comptroller
of the Currency James I'll. Eckels, at

great wave of prosperity was sweep
ing over the country. This wave, he
said, had already struck the Eastern
states and was beginning to have its
effect in the far West.

RUSsIA's CROP.
Dr.. T. E. Heenan Gives Reason
for High Priced Wheat.

One of the main reasons for dollar
wheat this year is the shortage of
crops in the European continent. DIR.
Thomas E. Heenan, U S. Consul at
Odessa, Russia, who is we'll known in
Stevens county, sent in a report to the
state department on the conditions of
the Russian grain crop, which ought
to be very encouraging to the farmers.
He says the crops over an extensive
area have failed. The beginning of
the trouble was the dry weather, caus-
ing the failure Of half the wheat sown.
With favorable spring and resolving
prospects we're good, however, almost
up to cutting time, Then came the
wettest season known in years, and
hail destroyed both ripe and unripe
grain. In large areas no effort was
made to harvest. Samples of the new
wheat are inferior in quality and
weight. The yield is from four to six
bushels per acre for winter and spring.
Barley is discolored and underweight.
Rye is much damaged and will be I'M
der the average crop. Oats alone are
in a favorable condition.
Mr.. Heenan says that but little
wheat will be shipped from Russia
during the season of1897- 98, for the
simple reason that there is little avail
able for export. The failure of the
wheat crops in Austro- Hungary, Rou-
mania and Bulgaria has brought buy
ers into Russia from those countries,
and the wheat will go there by rail.
How much Of this wheat Russia can
afford to let go is question. While
hints are thrown out that the export
of cereals may be altogether probited,
the consul believes these have no
foundation, and the Russian govern
nent will never again make the mis-
take it did in the famine year of pro-
hibiting exports.

SLAUGHTERED.
Norris Gets Back at Elbow Lake
with Interest.

The Elbow Lake boys CAME down
last Friday and played two return
games here Friday and Saturday.
Our boys had the memory of the week
before at Elbow Lake sticking in their
hats and went at the visitors with a
vengeance and simply slaughtered
them. Every pitcher the Elbow Lake
fellows would put in the box it would
only take a couple of innings for
Morris to send him to the woods.
They found McQuillan every time
and he got tired very quick. The
first game it took an extra crew to
keep tab of the runs Morris made,
while Elbow Lakes could be counted
on the first three fingers of the left
hand.
The score stood "a to 6. The
game was witnessed by small crowd
The following is the score by innings:
r H E
Morris 3O3S622-24 % 8
Elbow Lake 1OO0050-6 5
Struck out by Buxton s, by McQuillan 9,
Batteries Buxton and Warner, McQui1lan
and Cook.
Saturday was an ideal day and the
people turned out more literally to
see the Elbow Lake boys get scooped
once more This game was more
evenly matched than the one before
and some fine playing was done, es-
pecially by Fitch at short and O'Mal-
ley in left, Tillman the st. Cloud
pitcher was put to grass. The fol-
lowing is the score:
r H E
Morris 003224 1917 20
Elbow Lake 000130100-5 s 5
Struck out by Stevens 6, by Tillman Z

 The town of Bisbee had a very mar row escape from a serious conflagra- tlon Tuesday morning, and the credit of it belongs to our efficient fire department, who worked with untir- ing will until the flames were sub dued. The fire started under the building of the Queen restaurant, and when discovered the whole of the un- der part of the buildings occupied by the Queen restaurant. Warburton the tailor, and Johnny Mobile was a mass of flames. The fire being under the buildings made it very difficult to fight the flames. Holes had to be cut through the floor in order to get at the fire. The flooring and supports are so severely charred that it is nec- essary to replace them The losses due to water amount to several hun dred dollars. Thomas Whitehead lost about $200; Fred Warburton $500 in clothing and cloth: Johnry Mobile s100 in whiskey and cigars. The fire from all appearances. was of incen> diary origin, and it is to be hoped that our officials will do their utmos. to bring the culprits to justice. Two alarms were turned in yesterday. One was small blaze in the rear of the Reception saloon. which was extin- guished before the fire boys arrived and the other was false alram, turn ed in by some one who wanted to see the boys get a move on them selves.-Orb.
