County Commissioners

The county commissioners met in
regular session yesterday with a full
board present. The first business to
transact was the election of chair
man for the ensuing year, which hon
or fell upon j, H. O'Brian. Mr..
O'Brian is the youngest member on
the board, and is very conservative
and conscientious, and will fulfill the
position with credit both to himself
and the county.
The chairman then announced the
committees as follows:
F'inance-Messrs. G. o. Anderson,
Fl. R. Eddy and G. Aanerud.
Court Honse and Grounds Messrs.
H. L. Smith, Anderson and Eddy.
Printing Eddy, Aanerud and An
derson.
Roads and Bridges-Full board.
County Farm Full board.
The board then adjourned at noon
to spend the afternoon in inspecting
the county poor farm, which CON
cluded the business for Yesterday.
AS this is the first meeting since
last July, there is rather large grist
of business to attend to and it is ex-
pected that the session will last three
or four DAYS.

LONG-FELT WANT.
An Important Enterprise to Be
Established Here.

/ AT last the mucn-noeQoQ oStaDIlSn-
ment of a steam laundry in our city
will soon be a reality. The firm of
Riodan Bros. g. Co. have begun the
work of putting in a irst-class steam
laundry in the Thomasson building,
two doors below the TRIBUNE on 9th
street. The plant is something that
is badly need to fill a long-felt
want and make this thriving little
village of Morris one of the foremost
cities in the Northwest, and no doubt
will be hailed with delight by every
citizen in town.
Our citizens have been compelled
in order to have good work done, to
send their laundry to Minneapolis,
which is not only an inconvenience,
but nuisance as we'll, and the peo-
pie will only be too glad to welcome
the new enterprise when the wagon
will call regularly for the laundry and
deliver it when done.
The plant will be equipped with all
the latest Improvements, and will be
in charge of expert launderers and
finishers and will be prepared to do
either hand or steam work. All who
patrcnize them can be assured of get
ting as good work, and as fine pol
ish and finish on their laundry as
though they sent it to the cities, and
the chances are that it will be even
better The parties connected with
the enterprise are gentlemen who per-
fectly understand their business, and
are men of business and energy,
That the investment will be a pay
ing one is foregone conclusion, as
they not only have the business of
Morris, but all adjoing towns within
radius of fifty miles. As soon as
they convince the people of their ex-
cellent work, they will have no trouble
in controlling the trade. It is ex-
pected that the plant will be running,
complete in every department in the
course of three weeks.
George Foster, an expert all round
machinist and boilermaker, is placing
the machinery in the building, and we
are informed that as soon as he has
finished he will open machine shop
here, which will be another industry
added to the list of enterprises al
ready doing a thriving business here.
AS to just what extent he will start
we are not informed, but is claimed
that besides a machineshop he will put
in connection foundry and boiler
shop. The gentleman being in the
cities at present selecting the ma
chinery for the laundry, the writer
was unable to get an audience with
him in time for this issue. Mr.. Eos
ter came from Fargo here at the soil
citation of Mr.. Fowler for the pur-
pose of looking up a location, and it
has impressed him SO favorably that
he has decided to cast his lot with u.s.
The two enterprises will DO doubt be
valuable acquisitions to Morris and
will assist very materially in the steps
of progress that this town is now be-
ginning to take. Both are needed
here and will be welcomed by our
business men and citizens.
Besides the above there are several
other enterprises spoken of, but are
yet in the embryo state and cannot be
divulged.

EMPRESS AND MOTHER AS
WELL.

In Spite of Royal Pageants She Foun,
Time to Play with Her Children.
| The recent visit of tho German
Empress and her boys to Felixtow,
was evidently an extremely pleasant
one. A correspondent writes to 6
London paper;
The five little Princes of Felixtowe
won all hearts by their unaffected
boyish manners, but, now that they
are gone, no one speaks of them with
greater affection than the donkey-boy
Joe, who, every afternoon, proudly
ran behind his three feetest donkeys,
each mounted by little lad in a
sailor suit. The Crown Prince par
ticularly begged that his donkey
should be- kicker" and 1t was pretty
sight to see the dear little fellows gal.
Looping along the sands and taking the
wooden breakwaters at full speed. AS
an instance of their kindness of heart
l may tell you that, on the occasion
of the birthday to which you referred
In your paragraph, seeing "Joe" pass
their windows they rushed out with a
piateful of birthday cake, which they
insisted on his taking away. "Too
rich for me-" said Joe afterwards. q
could only eat little bit of it," An
other day, when riding, the Crown
Prince, trying to urge his donkey to
faster gallop, caught Joe" good
hit across his forehead. He was so
distressed at having hurt him that he
was reduced to tears, and it was some
time before he could be comforted, re-
peatedly begging Joe to forgive him.
They wanted him to go back to Ger
many with them, but this Joe refused
to do, and if you ask him the reason
he says he does not like going so far
from home"
The little fellows bathed whenever
it was fine, and swan well. One
could not help feeling of astonish-
ment to see the way they were al
lowed TO bathe-without any ropes
and no one in the water with them.
One day as the donkey boy was lean
ing against their gate, the policeman
tried to push him away. At that
moment the Empress happened to
come up, and, noticing this, she held
up her hand and said to the policeman
in her pretty English: you leave the
poor boy aionc." At another time
Joe was on the beach, and to his sur.
prise the Empress went up and shook
hands with him. He says: Il never
felt so ashamed in my life! Why, be-
fore every one-and there must have |
been over 200 people there. didn't |
know which way to lookl" 1t was
pretty to see the Empress sitting on
the beach surrounded by her five BOYS.
They seemed devoted to their mother,
and were constantly running up to
her, putting their arms round her
neck.
