CIRCUS MAN KILLED.
Run Over by Bear Wagon while Try
ing to Climb on.

An unfortunate accident marred
the pleasure of Campbell Bros. visit
to Morris with their circus last Mon
day, but new side, the tragic side
was shown to the people o. Morris.
Burt Atkinson, snare drummer who
had been with the circus for four years
was killed instantly by being run over
by the bear wagon, and was later
given an honorable burial by the cir
Gus management.
The circus arrived here early Sun
day, but contrary to expectations the
men connected with the circus were all
we'll behaved for most rigid dicipline
was enforced by the Campbell Bros,
and good order was preserved. Burt
Atkinson, however, celebrated the
arrival of pay day, and SO was not in
his place in the band when the p; rade
started the next morning.
AS the bear wagon passed along
the street, he ran out from the crowd
in which he was standing, and
attempted to climb on, He slipped
and fell and the front wheel Of the
vehicle passed oyer his head before
tbs six horses drawing the wagon
could be stopped. He was pulled
out before the second wheel passed
over him, but he expired almost in
stantly.
Coroner Caine decided that no in
quest was necessary, and the body
was removed to the undertaking
rooms of W. L. Colyer, where the
funeral was held after the afternoon
performance AL of the circus hands
except The laborers attended the
funeral, and it was evident that they
were deeply affected, for the drummer
had been with them many years aud
was general favorite of the man
ayers and actors. All of the expenses
of the funeral were paid by the Camp
bell Bros. the drummer had n,
living relatives except some distant
relatives in Pennsylvania,
Campbell Bros. have only a
medium sized circus, but their circus
is good, and their humane treatment
of their dead comrade, and by their
good order while in town over Sun
day, they won the highest respect Of
the people Of this community. There
we're ~ crooks following the show,
and any lack of good order during
their visit was due entirely to local
"talent."

the school and in 1897 they soldFit to
E. j. Jones and in the same year on
the 18th day of March E. j. Jones
sold il to the Government and then
Sup't johnson came to take charge
of this School and he made a
collection of pupils from White
Earth and Mile Lac reservations
which are about $50 miles from here
The collection continued until lO5
pupils we're enrolled. During the
first winter that the Government had
charge of the school there was much
discomfort on account of the severe
weather and shortage of clothing
and arrangements for heating the
buildings.
In the year 1897 to 1898 there we're
few Improvements made except in the
general appearance of the school as
there were no funds allowed for such
purposes.
On June 20, 1898 the pupils and
personal property of the school of
Clontarf we're brought to the Morris
school and the two consolidated. The
CIontarf School had been for boys
only and was bought by the Govern
ment early in 1898. The addition of
the Clontarf pupils raised the emo Il
ment at Morris to ia pupils.
In the second year of the govern
ment's ownership, this school was
in session from Sept |, 1898 to
June 80, 1899. with an enrolment of
l4l and an average attendance of liz.
During this year the girls dormitory
was built and connection made with
the city water works. These
improvements were greatly needed.
The girls had formerly used the Bird
story of the present dining hall and
all the water for the school had been
hauled from the river by terms in
tanks and barrels. It was also during
this year that the electric lights took
place OF the kerosene lamps,
Dqling the year ending June 80,
1900 the present boys dormitory was
butt, The enrolment reached $50
and the average attendance l29. The
school building was begun in the
spring of 1900.
During the fiscal year 1901 the
school building was completed and a
farm of 100 acres across the Pomme-
de Terre was bought and added to the
school property. 1t was soon alter
the close of this year that the only
change in the management of the
school was made Supervisor Chal-
@ aft had charge for a few weeks
during August and September and
or present Superintendent took

HISTORY OF INDIAN SCHOOL.
Paper by Paul La Rogue at Closing
Exercises, June 23rd,

AA(ANAoSo9 NuHO $SoAUa
This school was established in the
year of 1884. more especially for the
children of the Catholic parish, and
it was called St. Francis Graded
School. 1t was not part of the prop
erty of the Government nor of the
church but it was built, equipped
and organized by Rev. Father Watry
personally. And it was open to all
that wished to attend it and it was
LOCATED across the road from the
Catholic Church in the town OF
Morris. The object of this school was
to afford parents an opportunity Of
giving their children a truly Cnrlst-
ian education in connection with all
ordinary branches of learning.
After Rev. Father Watry had run
the school for year or or SO, he sold
it to the Sisters of Mercy of Mimi.
eapolis in the year of 1886 on the
fourth day of Marqh. and on the
eighteenth day OF March, 1885 they
closed a bargain with Charles Wilson
for his residence south of Morris
with 100 acres of land for $1,000.
They erected new school building
in the vicinity of the pIesent Catho.
lie Church in the year 1885, and
during the same year the school
opened with a good attendance.
One of the first buildings on the
present location of the school was
erected in the year 1889, and about
this time they began to admit Indian
pupils. In the year of 1890 the
Industrial School buildings were
very neatly decorated on the Fourth
of July with bunting and national
flags to show that the good Sisters,
who had charge of the Institution,
we're doing what they could to instill
into the minds of their Indian pupils
respect for the government of the
United States.
The Sisters held about 30 acres Of
land ere at the time they controlled

Is YR. FRA NcHISE
GRANTED TO FOWLER ELECTRIC
COMPANY.
Present Rates Reduced and Further
Reduction Provided for by Petit
ton to the Common Council.


After what it appeared would be
endless negotiation, the council have
finally granted to the Fowler Electric
Company a fifteen year franchise tc
use the streets of Morris for erecting
the necessary conductors for furnish
ing electric light and power and
steam or hot water heat
The conditions of the franchise are
embraced in Ordinance No. II which
has passed it's first and second read
ings, and will be given its third read
ing next Friday evening. The inter
ests of the village and of the patrons
of the light plant have been most
carefully guarded, and the new crdln-
ance is one of which the members OF
the council may justly be proud, anu
for the framing of which they deserve
the highest praise.
The features of the new ordinance
of especial interest are the reduction
of the present rates and the provisions
for further reduction on petition to
the council. Section 5 provides that
light shall be furnished to residences
at not to exceed II cents per thous-
and for commercial purposes at rot
to exceed 81 cents per thousand
Meter rent is reduced from 5C
to as cents per month. A minimum
charge of so cents per month is estao'
lished.
Provision is also made in Section d
that if any twenty consumers OF light
shall consider the charges excessive
they may petition the council to have
the rate reduced, and if on compar
ing the rates with those in othe1
toWrs within radius of fifty miles
where.equal service is given, the rate
is found to be excessive, then the re
ductiop will be made, and the Fow
Ter Electric Co. can only appeal te
the district court, End if the court
find that the reduction is reasonable
then the Fowler ELECTRIC Go. must
accept it.
The village also reserves the right
to purchase the plant at the apprais-
ed value of it's equipment.
The company arr also required to
keep the poles painted white with
black bases,

FOR THE GOOD OF THE TOWN.
Public Affairs Committee of CONNER
claT Club at Work.

The Commercial Club have
appointed a committee to be known
as the PUBLIC Affairs Committee,
consisting of F. E. Smith, ], A,
johnson, W. F. Cooley, and Pres.
Ward Stone and Secretary Andrew
Rowland, who will devote their
attention to all matters Of the pnbIic
Importance which they believe to be
for the good of Morris. They invite
suggestions from the people of
Morris, whether members IF the club
or not, as to any matter which will
be for the benefit of the town,
whether in the way Of improving our
city or of bringing new industries
here.
1t has already been suggested
that committee be appointed to
look into the ACCESSIBILITY of re-incor
porating under the general charter,
and report. This is a matter which
has been talked of great deal, but
no definite action has been taken
probably for he reason that it has not
been pushed. The advantages OF
the general charter are known in a
general way, and if this committee
call the attention Of the people to it's
advantages, action will probably
soon follow.
The following communication is
handed us by the secretary
"The Public A fairs Committee Of
the Commercial Club Of Morris,

to all public spirited citizens of the

namely, to further and promote the
general good and prosperity of the
