Queen victoria's reieerapher.

There are few appointments at court in
England entailing greater degree of labor
and discretion than that of chief telegra-
pher to the queen, an office which Mr.. Nal.
colin Riley holds. Her majesty's tele-
graphic correspondence, not only with her
relatives, ministers and officials in the
United Kingdom, but also with her kins-
folk abroad, Is something enormous, and
1t will scarcely be credited that she writes
nearly every message in her own hand, not
on blanks, but on ordinary sheets of note
paper, adorned with the royal cipher and
the name of the palace where she may hap
pen to be residing at the time. Railroad

Good Weeks Work.

The Students club of the Y. M. c..
A. finished their labors in this city
last Sunday evening with Providence
slightly against them in their closing
meeting, as the weather was so ire
mendous rough that only a few dared
to brave it. Nevertheless the young
men left this town after having accom-
plished very fattering results. Their
meetings we're largely attended, and
what was most noticeable of all was
the deep interest taken in the meet
ings by the attendants. The young
men have left good impression
among our people, and if they should
ever see fit to return to Morris they
will be assured of very cordial well
come. Mr.. Dana, the leader of the
quartet, was called away by the seri-
GUS illness of his father at Rochester,
n. Y. last Thursday. He was accom-
panied with the regrets and sympa-
thy of his entire audience. They I'M
doubtedly have had telling effect
among our young people, which with
little encouragement from the older
ones, will, we hope, prove both true
and lasting. Mr.. Francis, secretary of
of the state Y. NJ. G. A. took Mr..
Dana's place. The boys left Monday
to resume their school studies at the
different colleges Of Mortified, Ham
line and Manchester.

With the Angels.

The angel of death visited the fam
lily of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w! Tate last
Thursday morning and plucked from
their midst the flower of the family,
Miss Clara Tate, who was just bud
ding into womanhood at the age of
sixteen. The blow is a severe shock
to the family,as we'll as the communi-
ty. Mr. Tate removed here with his
family from Minneapolis last October
and has since been employed as mil
Ter in H. w. Stone & Co.'S mill, The
deceased had just begun to gather
around her wide circle of acquaint-
ances and many warm friends, who
regret her sudden departure to take
up her position with the angels above.
The sympathy of the community is
extended to the stricken family in
their sad bereavement. The funeral
took place Sunday, Rev. A. H. Teb-
belts conducting the last sad rites
over the remains.

Sad Announcement.

We regret to announce to the many
dear friends of Mrs. Charles Winter
mute of the death of that most estim-
able lady, which occurred at her home
in Households, NY, from consump-
ton, on the 10Th of last month
Though expected by many OF her
most intimate friends and relatives, it
will be severe shock, as she was
held in the highest esteem by all her
acquaintance. The deceased was
one of the first settlers of this Sec
ton, and is kindly remembered by
many. The deepest sympathy is ex-
tended to the husband and relatives
in their sad affection by the entire
community.

The Weather.

Irl r. Hicks weather prognostica-
tons hit it pretty close SO far this
month. He predicted a storm period
central on the LIST with rain and snow
changing to colder with regular
blizzard from the 3rd to the 9th,
which has happened just as he said
December was on an average, very
mild, and on the 31st it commenced
to rain and rained the old year out
and the new year in, lasting till after
noon of the 1st, when a decided
change was noticeable and the mer-
curry began to drop. On the End a
northwest wind blew all day, COM
mencing to snow some time in the
night of the End, which turned to a
regular blizzard and kept it up all
day Sunday, the 3rd without even a
lull.
On the 4th the wind blew a gale.
and although it quit showing, it
.drifted so that you could hardly tell
the difference. All day long it ragged
and great banks of snow we're piled
up in all directions all the way. from
two to ten feet high. At times it was
almost impossible to see block
ahead. All trains north, east and
west we're blockaded. The Northern
Pacific did not attempt to run trains
Monday, but started out yesterday
and ploughed through. The Browns
Valley line was opened up today, the
first train since Saturday. The ser
vice between here and St. Paul was
but little delayed, all trains arriving
and departing nearly on time. 1t is
claimed to be one of the worst biz
yards that has occurred in this section
for four or five years. 1t is almost
impossible to tell how much snow fell,
as it is all piled up in drifts wherever
it could find breaker. Rev. Hicks
predicts two more storms this month,
about the 18th and 9th.

Two of our most prominent young
people quitely stole march on their
many friends last Wednesday even
ing by vending their way to the resi-
dence of Rev. Geo. Willett and get
ting that gentleman to say the word
which made them one. Henry G.
Olson, the groom, is a highly respect
ed young man, ambitious and studi-
Gus, who conducts the Morris Hotel
barber shop. He has gained innum-
cradle friends since his residence in
Morris by his strict observance to
business and genial ways. Miss
Agnes L. Benn, the bride, has held
the position of cashier for the firm of
Olsen, Gutter, Healy Co., almost ever
sincesthat firm located here. She is
well known and highly respected by
numerous friends, having resided
here since her girlhood days. The
young couple start out to battle with
this cold and cruel world with bright
prospects of a happy life, and accom-
panied with the we'll wishes and con
CALCULATIONS Of their many friends,
with whom the TRIBUNE heartily
joins in.

Sad News.

We received the sad news of the
death of Mrs. Rev. Kingsley F. Nor
ris, which occurred last week Tuesday
at their home in Hartford, Conn,
where Mr.. Norris is pastor of the
Fourth church. The deceased is we'll
known in this city, her husband hav-
ing been pastor Of the Congregation
al church here about ten years ago.
Mrs. Norris was closely identified
with all charitable work and devot-
ed and ardent Christian worker. The
news of her death will be sad shock
to her many dear and close friends
in this city, who extend their deep
est sympathy to the stricken family
in their sad bereavement.

The Annual Meeting of Stock
holders last Week.
An Excellent Showing for the
First Seven Months.

The first annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Morris Creamery
association was held last Saturday in
the council chambers. The meeting
was we'll attended. The business tc
come before the meeting was the cleo
ton of officers for the ensuing year
aud listen to the reports of the old
officers. All the old officers were re-
elected. The report of the secretary
was read, which shows very fatter-
ing record for, a new venture, The
creamery was built last spring and
begun operations on the first of June,
and has been in continuous operation
since except ten days during the hol-
days, little over six and one-half
months. They started with sixty pa
irons, which has not decreased any
during the seven months, and will
be increased, says Mr.. Darling, to
over one hundred during the coming
season. The results of the enterprise
are very satisfactory to the farmers,
who see through il a new source of
revenue, if attended to properly.
The receipts from sales of butter
amounted to S5,24S.33, of which 1896.
so went for expenses of running the
creamery, $392.05 paid into the sink
ing fund, and the balance $4,159.7S.
went into the pockets of the farmers.
At the opening of the creamery in
June butter sold for lie per pound,
which increased to lie for July, 13c
for August, l4c for September, lie
for October, 18c for November and
Zoe for December. The following
shows the pounds of milk received at
the creamery and pounds of butter
made during each month.
