SAUK CENTRE
Didn't Set Well.

In commenting on our joke about
Mr.. Brakes soda fountain last week
the Morris Tribune observes that
''the fountain is certainly great i'm
pro7ement to Hancock" And even
this attempted sarcasm or faint pre-
ception Of joke Gt is to feeble an ef-
fort to say which, on the part OF the
Tribune is an immense improvement
on it's usual monotonous vapidness.
\ glass OF two from our soda foun'
tian might even help instil a little 81. =
ger in certain places up at Morris
where it is sadly needed.-Hancock
Record.
Thanks for the suggestion
Bother Babe. Well try and elm
mate that "monotonous Vapidness,"
but w1 prefer to use a home produce
ton when we "ginger W" rather
than take any chances.

Bowling Contest.

The Morris bowlers as we'll as the
bail team carried away their share Of
the honors at Sank Centre last Fri
day. The scores are nearly as Large
as those made in the contest games
on our own alley, and if the Sank
Centre fellows expect to play return
game they will have to hurry
Hoist knocked 5l3 pins into the
ditch for the highest score and OlsoL
was a close second with 400.
Mccormick was the only Sank Centre
man to reach the 400 mark, although
Editor Simonton was only a few
"picas" short. Following is the score:

GolEmar Bros. s. : Chuman.

Gollmar Bros. and Schumans big
show drove up from Benson Monday
night, arriving in Morris early Tues
day morning in time to pitch their
tent and line up for the parade at II
o'clock.
This is probably the only circus to
day that travels overland, and it was
quite a novelty for the more inquis-
tive, who got out bright and early on
circus day, to see GolImar Bros. and
Schuman's big snow ,nHtca The
parade at eleven o'clock, and the
afternoon and evening performances
we're witnessed by large number of
people who pronounced the show
fairly good.

A Bad Mix-up

Tom O'Malley and Pet6F Jorger
had little trouble in DoEovan's liv-
cry barn early Tuesday morning
which resulted rather seriously for
OMalley, but as the trial was set for
next Monday, it is not generally
known as yet, gust who was to blame.
1t seems that they had some con-
troversy over team that OMal}ey
had left there the previous evening,
and were unable to come to any
agreement, so they went outside to
settle the matter. O'MaIley being
slightly intoxicated, was worsted by
his antagonist who administered
several blows with neck-yoke. Of
ficer Ryan appeared upon the scene
in time to find O'MalIey badly in
need of medical aid, and DR. HUI
burd was summoned. O'Malley was
removed to the doctors office where
his wounds were dressed and he was
taken home the same evening. Jorger
was arrested and brought up for trial
the same morning. The hearing was
set for next Monday morning, and
Jorger was placed under 500 bonds.
We understand that O'MalIey does
not care to appear against him SO the
matter will probably be dropped.

AN OLD RESIDENT PASSES AWAY.
hrs. Mary Thompson Died Last
Thursday in Starbuck,

Ms. Mary Thompson, for more
than sixteen years a resident of Nor
ris, died at the hospital in Starbuck,
Tuesday, July J., at 8 p. m. Her
death was caused by cancer, from
which she has suffered for more than
two years. During this time, Andrew
her only SOD, has secured all possible
medical aid and done everything in
his power to restore her to health,
but of no avail. Two months ago,
when it was found that further medi-
cal treatment was less, she was
removed 70 the hospital at Starbuck,
and placed in the hands of skilled
nurses.
Deceased was born in Norway in
1871, and was reared to womanhood
in her native land. In 1861 she mar
ried to Mr.. Thomas Thompson.
About the year 1875 they came to
this country and located at Chicago
where few years later Mr.. Thomp-
son died. In 1886 she moved with
her family to Morris where they have
since resided.
Of the family there remains two
children, Andrew, WI O is engaged in
the restaurant business here, and
Mrs. Fred Simpson, who resides in
California. They have the sympathy
of a large circle of friends herr, in
this, the greatest bereavement which
could come to them.
Funeral services were held in the
Norwegian Lutheran church Thurs
day afternoon, Rev. Olson officiating
and the remains were inferred in the
Norris cemetery. The Woodmen
and K. P. lodges Of which Andy was
q member assisted in the services.

ulated if they did haye the lowest
score. We understand the umpire
had not umpired a game for years,
and was somewhat out of date.
Several times during the game he
lost his bearings and had to ask the
batter how many strikes he had, and
was eqeally as rank on his decisions.
The Indians don't say much in
game of ball, but do plenty Of think
ing, and when the umpire is wrong
they know it.

Editors Will Go Wrong.

We didn't get card: but we saw
It in the papers, that Harvey John
son, the versatile editor of the Battle
Lake Review, was married yesterday.
A short time ago Harvey came out
with statement that woman didn't
have a heart. We know now what he
meant. She h id given it to Harvey
Well here's congratulations, Brother,
He that has the true love of good
woman, is richer than a millionaire,
even though he holds nothing but the
thankless ard sometimes proitless
position of editor of country news

A petition pres ented by Rev.
Richardson, asking that the saloons

Burpee was authorized to confer with
Mr.. Richardson, and extend to him
an invitation to attend the next
regular meeting when the petition
Will be considered.
Mr.. L. @. Spooner decided to the
city a strip Of land extending from
Fifth street to the cemetery to be
used as a public highway. Also the

oic cemetery, the industrial school
road and the cemetery road, to be
used as public park. The city has
heretofore been permitted to use the
road but it was the property of Mr.
Spooner.

Prison Irvine Ordered-PIans for
Liquidating Indebtedness of AS.
ISOLATION.
The board of managers of the
Farmers Elevator Association met as
called On Saturday afternoon at the
E evator, nine members being presant.
It was moved and carried that we

of their stock to pay the indebt

for the collec ton OF said assessment
and to solicit donations and to sell
more stock. A committee of one was
appointed to consult with MIR. Silver
of The Citizens Bank in regard to
Indebtedness with said bank but
failed to find him.
Mr.. Daugherty, the ex-manager
was requested to cone before the
board and state what he would do to
wipe out the indebtedness and after
a lengthy discussion on the matter
he said that all he would 90 would
be to stand an assessment with the
other stockholders.
The following members of the
board were appointed by the
presiuent to solicit donations, to sell
more stock and to collect the assess
ment just Levied: r. J. Hall towns of

A NEW BANK.
Morris National Bank Opens Its'Doors
July ESt.


July Ist.
The Morris National Bank opened
its doors for business Tuesday morn
ing and the outlook for this new insti-
tuition seems very fattering. D. j.
Stewart and W J. Stewart, president
ard vice-president respectively, have
been in business at Mason City, Iowa
for number of years, and are gener-
ally known throughout that section
of the country to be business men of
sound integrity. F, R. Putnam, the
cashier, has been connected with the
management Of the Rockwell, Iowa
bank for more than fifteen years and
is thoroughly acquainted with the
banking business in all it's detail
Others connected with the bank are
@. Il. McNider, John Grove and GUY
Grove.
The bank occupies three rooms in
the Spooner brick block, comprising
banking room, private office and
The Office of the John Grove Land Co.
Of which Mr.. D. j. Stewart is manag.
er. The fixtures and furniture are
the best that money could buy, and
Cashier Putnam has spared nothing
in making their apartments handy as
we'll as attractive.
We feel certain that this new insti.
tuition, which is certainly credit to
Stevens County as we'll as to Morris,
will experience rapid growth, and
in time will become enc of the leading
banks of this section Of the state.

Obituary..

On December 80, 1901, death
entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
N. D. johnson, at Taylortown,
Bossier parish, and bore away on
the wings of the dying year the
spirit of their precious child, Fred
Ross, aged 2 years, 8 months and
"a days.
After twelve days illness with
scarlet fever, this fair child went
to sleep to wake no more on earth.
A calm, bright New Years day
saw the little form laid sweetly to
rest in Fillmore cemetery, by the
side of an elder brother.
But his parents mourn not as
those who have no hope, for these
two tiny lives that budded on
earth are poisoning in Heaven,
transplanted by the tender care
| of an all-wise Father, who know
eth best.
Heartfelt sympathy is extended
the sorrowing family in their deep
affection.
Doubtless
"God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band,
And so he bent, with loving smile,
And clasped their darling's hand"
