Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1907-09-07

The veteran agriculturist, O.C. Gregg, in
conversation with the editor OF the M1nneota
Mascot last week said that the only salvation
for this locality if it is to continue raising
wheat, is to get winter wheat variety that
will grow here. Mr.. Gregg thinks that this can
be done and that winter wheat can be raised
here suce essfu1ly. He says that the state ex-
detrimental stations are at work on this PROPOSE
ton and that that there is little doubt that
variety of winter wheat will be found which
will give general satisfaction. Mr.. Gregg is an
enthusiastic farmer. He believes that farm
is the hest place for young and old and he has
little sympathy with those who "retire" from
farming in middle life. He wants the farmers
to cooperate to the end that the best in village
life can be brought into farm life. One OF the
great advantages which Mr. Gregg thinks is
within the reach of nearly all farming commu-
mites, and which will do a great deal to make
farm life more pleasant and profitable, is the
consolidated school. He says that there is no
question that this will be the next important
step taken in our educational system. The con-
solidated school brings to the farm district all
the advantages of the village graded school and
parents will not have to send their children
to town at least not until they are ready tor the
high school.

Mr. Young deserves better luck, but we hardly

For from ten to forty years they have la

 open and was one of the first to fall in.
 Thomas Jefferson, who was the room orderly in Go. c barracks, said he heard the shooting and thought there were ten or twelve men firing. The shots, he said, came from the rear and near the end of B barracks, but he could not say whether the men were within the wall or not, He was sure the men were near the wall. He said he saw the flashes from guns and thought the garrison was under attack He listened, he said, to see if the bar racks were hit by any bullets, but when he could not hear any of the shots strike concluded the firing did not amount to anything. He said he had been at the window but went back to bed, From the flashes he thought the men were firing into the air He got up after the call to arms From that point his story was similar to that of other witnesse He said that he had made a statement at the war de- partment before Judge Advicate Gen. eral Davis, for the purpose of clearing his name of suspicion. He had been actuated in making this statement, he said, by a statement in the papers that President Roosevelt would permit any men to re-enlist if they proved their innocence. Senator Foraker asked that a subpoena be issued for General Davis.
 Solomon P. ONeil, also former member of Co. c, testified that the shooting on the night of August IS was from near the wall at the end of Co. B quarters and that the shots were ap- parently over the barracks. He said he heard a man shoot and yell: Come out YOU black --' This occurred sev- eral times said O'Neil before he was compelled to leave the window and dress. He testified that thee was great excitement in the barracks and that when the gun racks were broken open some of the rifles fell to the floor, There were no lights, and the men could not get their own rifles.

TIP SYSTEM IN GERMANY.
Nuisance in Private Houses. Now.

A Nuisance in Private Houses Now,
 According to French Writer.
 The tip nuisance in private houses is described by Jean Huret in a Paris newspaper. He says that the holdup system for the benefit of house ser wants and coachmen is shameless.
 It isn't the expense he cares about nor even the annoyance of having to search your pockets every time you make your exit from house, nor yet the modification you feel if you for get the tip; what overwhelms him with surprise is the coarsness of tine practice. How would Frenchman feel, he asks, if he found his guests, distributing small change to his ser wants?
 Huret relates what he says is a typi- cal instance of the abuse. He took

 A resident of that city and his wife took lady who had been lunching at their house to her. home in their vic- toria. As she alighted she fulmbled in her handbag until she found her purse. e
 Then she extracted quarter and handed it up to the ooachman with a polite gesture. The man touched his hat. Huret wished to sink into the earth, but the host and hostess seem ed to take it as matter of course. The couple drove on with him to his hotel.
 He confesses that he had not the courage of the lady. He gave the | coachman no tip. Literally he did not dare to inflict such an outrage on : pleasant people who had shown him many attentions. But later he was told that he had made big mistake; that he had failed to do the chic thing. i His objection is not to the universal custom of making presents in houses where one stops several days or weeks to the servants specially ntrusted

FOOD QUESTION
Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by q
 Dyspeptic

It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows
 And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food ques- tion becomes doubly annoying.
 An H. woman writes:
 My husbands health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed.
 He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give 1t up in a few weeks. He suffered severely with stomach trouble.
 'gTired of everything I had been able to get for him to eat one day seeing an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, got some for him to try for breakfast the next morning.
 We all thought it was pretty good although we had no idea of using it regularly. But when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape-Nuts.
 Ut was the same next day and I had to get it right along, because when We would get to the table the question, TIave you any Grape-Nuts was @ regu- lar thing. So I began to buy it by the dozen. pkgs
 My husbands health began to im- prove right along. I sometimes felt offended when I'd make something I thought he would like for change, and still hear the same old question, Have you any Grape Nuts?

with one's comfort. In France, too, IL is not usual to send New Years gitts to servants in houses where one IS a frequent visitor.
 But in Germany the hand of the ser want is held out at every form ot prl- vate entertainment and the gratuities are virtually solicited and given right under the eyes of the hosts. The only parallel he knows to it is in some country places in the north of France where he has seen guests slip pieces of money under their plates at th' close of a dinner party to be found by the servants who waited on them. In German houses where large en tertaing is done the servants braw among themselves after the guest' have departed over the distribution ol the trinkgeld and freely discuss tho degree of liberality shown by variou' individuals. To prevent bad blood ana | to keep servants from leaving on ac' count of these quarrels some house keepers establish tip boxes. into whief all the amounts received by all ser wants are thrown.

situation pending further communica- tion with his government.
 The California delegation in congress is divided as to whom the credit is due forthe settlement of the question of excluding the Japanese 1aborers. Representative Hayes, who is spokes- man for the delegation, declared that the whole thing was framed up before Mayor Schmitz and his school board arrived in Washington, and intimates that all the glory" should go to the senators and representatives He says the agreement reached at to-day's con ference will meet with. the hearty ap- proval of the people of the Pacific coast states, but insists that this is only temporary arrangement which must later be followed by treaty with Japan excluding the eoolie laborers.

bill, including the exclusion amendment, had been passed by congress and sign ed by the president. They submitted this agreement to Secretary Root in writing.
 The Californians called at the White House at o'clock, and after a thir- ty-fiYe minute conference with the president and Secretary Root announce ed that an amicable agreement had been reached and Mayor schmitz prom ised to give out a formal statement in the evening. Secretary Root, who remained with the president for some time after the San Franciscans left the White House, was rather non-commiit- tai in his observations of the result of the conference. He did admit, however, that "everybody looked serene" but would not say whether complete agreement had been reached. He add ed that naturally the president and the California delegates would await the action by congress on the immigration bill with regard to restricting Asiatic coolie labor coming into this country. No official statement was issued at the White House.
 An agreement was reached in the senate late this afternoon to vote on the conference report of the immigra- ton bill tomorrow, and tonight the republican senators who are in charge of the measure declare that the bill will undoubtedly be passed. No serious opposition when the measure reaches the house of representatives is an an- ticipated.
