Did Not See the Train.

A. McConville received word on
Sunday that his nephew, Emmett

normal school, while walking on the

Alexander Bull.

This great artist, the son of Ole
Bull, will be in Morris at the opera
house Monday night. He will be as
sisted by Atilia Ackerson, soprano
and elocutionist, and by Hilda APP
pelon, pianoist.
Alexander Bull is the modern mas
ter of the violin. His repertoire does
not consist of difficult concert music.
He is modest in his attempts, but
what he plays he plays in an artistic
manner. He Yields his bow with firm
steady precision, and produces full
clear, round. singing tone. He is
peculiarly happy in his rendering of
Morse melodies. The violin he uses
is the one with which Ole Bull made
his phenomenal success in this
country half a century ago. 1t is a
Giuseppe (Joseph) Guarnerius del
Gesu, full sized pattern, dated 1742,

viii There Be a Striker

The threatened strike of freight
conductors on the Great Northern
seems to be hanging fire, for day after
day passes and still the trans are
running. Further west on the Great
Northern line the conductors have
steadily refused to give bonds and
are working together to defeat the
plan of the company. Rumor has it
that the strike has already been
inaugurated in the Dakotas.
Yesterday there was story on the
streets that Co. I. had received orders

out at moments notice. Investiga-

CRIMINAL CASES.
Engage the District Court All This
Week.

Week.
The trial of Ernest and Charlie 8
Miller for grand larceny in the second
degree occupied the attention of the
district court from Friday morning
of last week to Tuesday noon of this
week. The case was well tried on
both sides, a large number of wit
nesses being exa mined. The case
was given to the jury about ll:3o
Tuesday morning and they returned
a verdict of not guilty early in the
afternoon.
The case of the State vs.. Frank
Hiland was continued by consent.
On Tuesday afternoon the case OF
the State VS.. Ed. O'Donnell, charged
with taking some money from Calvin
at Hancock was brought up. From
the evidence it appeared that both
men were intoxicated at the time and
the jury brought in verdict of not
guilty. On discharging the prisoner,
the court gave him little advice on
making something of himself low
that he had so narrowly escaped a
, term in the penitentiary.
Wednesday the case of Catherine
Matteson VS.. Geo. II. Munro, as sher-
if, was tried. The Minneapolis
Threshing Machine Co. had attached
some wheat of the plaintiff and the
jury gave her damages to the extent
of $192.05.
On Thursday the cases of the State
VS.. J..W. Pushor and the State vs..
August Benke, we're both dismissed
The trial of Joseph and Paul
Arnold, charged with ''ducking" a
Jew peddler named Arber and taking
$47, occupied the most of the day.
The defendants brought in four wit
nesses to the States two and the
accused were acquitted. Mr.. Flaher-
ty did good work for the defense.
Thursday evening the apparently
hopeless case Of Rawson was begun.
He was charged with stealing George
AAderson's bicycle in September.
The case was a strong one for the
State, but Attorney Grace fought
every point for the defense stubborn
ly and we'll, and succeeded in prov
ing to the jury that the case was only
petit larceny instead of grand larceny
in the second degree as charged.

optician of st. Paul, will be at theMor

OF eye trouble which may come to
him. He is graduate of the Chica-
go College and Hospital of Ophtalm-
ology and Otology. He is a man
who has been for Is years engaged

defective eye, and by proper methods
the defect can be easily overcome.

wishing advice, at their homes, if SO
desired.

Remarkably HOnOred.

Miss Margaret Evans, according to
the Advance, enjoys the distinction
of being the only lady member of the
American Board of Foreign Missions
In this distinction all club women in
Minnesota will rejoice, for Miss Evans
is and has been their president for
many years. Miss Evans also took a
prominent part in the Congregational
International Council recently. She
set high ideal for women in tie
churches. Miss Evans does not want
to see the women of the churches,
says the Advance, playing the part Of
boarders at summer resort, with
nothing to do but criticise the meals,
nor of suffers in the camp, giving all
their time to oyster suppers and other
varieties Of kitchen service in the
church; but she wants woman to dc
her part, and great part in the work
of bringing the unsaved to Christ.
Yesterday afternoon the case Of
Nellie Barrett vs.. Dennis Hennessey
as treasurer was tried, and a verdict
given to the plaintiff.
The case of P. Fl. Peerboom VS. F
A. Zahl was then taken up and coz
tinued into the evening.
Court will adjourn tonight.

He was very tall and straight, with
flashing black eyes and dark curling
hair, and he had fine way of throw

People used to call him Handsome

but when I told him what grandpa

old people; but he used somehow to
get in little talk about our own at
fairs, although we seldom had
chance to see each other alone. And
then the 18th of February came
around, and had scores of valentines,
and great sport it was, for each young
man had to deliver his own, and it
was no easy task to do this without
being seen, which would have spoiled
the fun. Well, just toward dusk, 1
happened to be looking from an upper
window, and 1 saw tall figure creep

his hat drawn down well over his face,

moustache, and, assure you, my

with becoming dignity, when Sophie,

had been neatly pasted a sheet of
white paper, on which were written
the following lines:
My Kate is surely Queen of Hearts,
And will swear she's queen of
mine.
Let's play a game where Love is
trumps;
Sweet Kate will be my valentine?"
The children all declared the poetry
to be very beautiful

GRANDMA'S
VALENTINE.
Bx Georgia Custis.l

The postman! the postman!" cried
Dorothy, dancing excitedIy about the
nursery. He is coming here; I hear
his whistle, Oh, nurse! please may I
go down and see if he has brought any
valentines?''
Not with your cold, dearie," said
nurse, shaking her head, and so Doro-
thy had to be content with peering
over the stairs, while Donald clattered
down and came back again with his
hands full of envelopes, large and
small.
"One. free, six for mel" he painted.
"and one, free, seven for Dorothy!"
And how happy the children were as
they tore open the envelopes and ex-
planned the pretty cards and verses
which they contained. And then Sis
ter Nell came in to show them her val
entine, great bunch of beautiful roses
and when Dorothy asked her If she
could guess who had sent them (for
guessing is half the fun on st. Valen-
tines day., she grew quite red, and
said, why, no; of course she couldn't;
how could she?'
And just then dear grandma came in
to see what the children were making
such racket about. And, of course.
they showed her their valentines and
Nell pinned one of her most beautiful
roses on grandma's black dress; and
then, quite unexpectedly, Dorothy
looked up into the sweet, placid old
face, and asked gravely: Grandma,
did you ever get valentine?"
Grandma did not reply for moment
and then she stopped and kissed Doro-

entine could be, and they were all
gathered around her chair, with eager,
expectant faces, when she, returned.
She carried in her hand small, old
fashioned work box, whose covering,
once bright and gay, was worn and
faded now. She smiled into the up
turned faces as she resumed her place
among the children; but there were
tears in her eyes as she said:
Nov, children, will show you my
valentine; but, first, must tell you
part of the story. And 1 must also
explain that when I was young people
made their own valentines, and, al
though they may not have been as
pretty as the modern ones, perhaps,
yet I think they were a great deal

Saint Valentines Victim.


By H. W. Dixon.
OH why do 1 sit on this stone,
OH why do I sit here alone
All the gladstone st. Valentines Day,
While the youths and the maidens are
gay
IT'S because of a maiden so fair;
Like the gossamer soft is her hair.
But she's cruel, as cruel as fair,
And she tortures my heart to despair.
Her eyes are blue as the skies.
Ahi how sweet she can look when she
tries
And she has the most exquisite hand
OF any fair maid in the land;
'Tis a hand that is whittier than snow,
And adown it the bluest veins flow.
If she knew how my bosom was torn,
How 1 wish 1 had never been born,
To my vail she would surely reply;
If she don't I shall certainly die.
So that's why I sit on this stone,
So that's why I make my SAD moan.
All the gladstone st. Valentines Day.
While the youths and the mzidens are
gay.
