MOVING FEVER.
Norris Catches 1t Rather Early
in the Season.

In the past day and the coming
few days Morris will undergo change
in which more than one of our prom
inent merchants and business men
are taking conspicuous part. The
Merchants hotel, with G. A. Dushek
as proprietor, has leased the entire
building of its present location and
will proceed at once to remodel and
change about the entire house. An
elaborate office and lunch counter,
will be fitted up in the corner
now occupied by P. B. johnson as a
saloon. The place occupied as the
office will be fitted up as sample
room. The dining room capacity will
be enlarged and the entire building
from top to bottom will be remodeled,
painted and papered and will be sec
ond to none in the rank of first class
hotels.
Peter HOMESTEAD has purchased the
saloon fixtures of P. B. johnson and
leased the Hancock store building
and will conduct saloon therein.
George Burnham has given the ST..
Paul house to Peter Gaffney and will
remove to the building next to VIM.
Wunsch's harness-shop, where he will
conduct frst-class boarding house,
j. A. Lime, of the Morris Baking
company, has force of men at work
on the Wilson building repairing and
remodeling it for their use, and Frank
Hughes, the recent occupant will re-
move to Hancock, where he will start
restaurant.
The John Grove Land Cos bust
ness increased to such an extent that
they have been forced to seek more
adequate quarters, and in conse-
quence have leased and moved into
the small store room on the ground
floor of the Spooner block, where
they will have more commodious
quarters. Taking it all together it is
quite change in business circles and
rather early in the season. Evidently
people are expecting the return of
prosperity and are making ready to
meet it. Other changes are spoken
bf but not yet developed.

A WORTHY MOVEMENT.

Sacramento has a society of recent
organization, comparatively, that is do
ing d wonderfully good work for this
community. The Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children is
scarcely two years old, yet it has
handled probably over 200 cases, and
with such success, that it has met de-
feat IN but three. It has become a
terror to evil-doers trihing with chill
dren; it has sent two score boys and
girls, headed when taken, straight for
prison, the gallows or lives of shame
and crime, to good homes or to various
reformatory and training institutions
only a few to State reforrnatories.
1t has broken up some villainous
gangs and sent the leaders to prison
1t has secured home training for sew
eraI girls; it has relieved a great deal
Of distress; it has, we find from its
reports, been aided most kindly by
church and private institutions in San
Francisco, Alameda, Marin, Santa
Clara and Nevada Counties, which
have taken its dependents and
cared for them without fee or
charge to the Sacramento Society.
But these institutions, naturally, are
beginning to inquire if the limit IS
not near by? They ask very
sensibly, IF we take your child de-
pendents should you not at least clothe
them and pay for their food?"
The society feels the justice of these
hints; it is confronted with a serious
problem, and it is casting about for
relief. One way to the end is a tenn
porary home of detention. AS matters
now stand a child taken from vicious
surroundings or rescued from unhappy
cruelty must be kept at heavy ex-
pense or lodged in jail, most unfit
place, or at once shipped off to one of
the kindly institutions referred to, per-
haps to be returned under court order.
If there was a place of temporary
detention here, presided over by kind
illness, firmness and love for human
ity, homes can be found for seven out
of ten taken to it, The already VIC
ious can at once be disposed Of. But
seven -tenths of these children are SIM
ply pitlful objects, not criminal, not
vicious, and not within the class 70
be sent to orphan asylums or founding
homes.
Members of the society, therefore, are
about TO ask the people to aid them
in securing a temporary home of de-
tention, which can work hand in hand
with the Children's Day Home, and give
a breathing spell to the society while
permanent homes are looked UP for
these unfOrtunates. There are homes
ready for all Of them, but care has tc
| be taken examination made, and
many things considered before a child
is relinquished; hence, the need for the
temporary home.
| We cannot think that this commun-
| ity will be appealed to in vain We
statement of the case and its necessi-
ties is about all that is necessary Il
secure the aid needed. AS an economic
proposition it is money in the pocll.
cts of tax payers to help on this So
ciety, for it is doing what punishment
for crime cannot do, it is preventing
growth into the criminal class, it i!
taking a burden OF taxes and shame
off of the people in advance.

man on the ticket is better known. He
has served the city well in every capacity

the State just as well when called to

white sheet, without spot or blemish.
As a mechanic he was an industrial
worker, known for his rapidity, faith
fulness and accuracy at the printers

reputation of being one of the most con-
