Morris-Appleton Railroad.

The editor of the Appleton Press
appears to be somewhat piqued since
the editor of this paper started tc
build an electric line from Morris to
Ortonville and proposes to build one
himself from Morris to Appleton. anc
offers several arguments why his
will be the best. 1t is pity, how,
ever, that somebody with more
money than country editors does not
become interested in the project OF
furnishing cross-country transporta-
tion in this section of the state. An
Independent cross country road would
not only give the farmers chance to
cheaply convey their produce to com =
peting railway lines, but would give
them convenient access to Morris,
the most favorable trading point in
the state.
The Press says IAN electric
railway from Morris to Ortonville is
being talked Of again. Such railroad
would give the townships of Synnes.
Hegbert and Artichoke much needed
market facilities, but would be of
very little value to the public in gen.
eral. What we need is a north and
south line that can be operated at
a profit from the start and can be
eventually extended the full length of
the state. A line from Morris south
westerly to Synnes and Hegbert and
thence to Appleton following the
general course of the Pomme de Terre
river and thence to Madison would in
addition to bringing those rich town
ships in easy connection with good
markets have the still better excuse
for being that it would be thorough
fare of public travel. A line from
Morris to Ortonville would benefit no
one but the two terminal cities and
towns through which it would pass.
All trains on the Milwaukee as we'll
as on the Great Northern stop here
and an electric line passing north
and south through Appleton would
put the farmers in close touch with
the best shipping point in western
Minnesota. Neither Morris nor Or
tonville would give the farmers the
benefit of competing railroads, and an
electric line connecting those two
cities would be chiefly for the bene-
fit of the merchants and traders resid-
ing therein. Morris is very anxious
to be tied up with Ortonville rather
than with Appleton for the reason
that we have the advantage of her in
having two steam railroads and we
would naturally draw the trade for
more than half the way

eral Thomas, annihilated the army
of the rebel General Hood and in the
siege of Spanish Fort. From the

Selma, in the same State. There
they were mustered out and were dis
charged at St. Paul, August IA,

On retiring from the service Mr..
Spur was engaged in freighting for
the Government to the frontier posts

then commenced contracting in rail-

THE M'NAMARA SENTENCES

Judge Bordwell. the trial Judge
in the Mcnamara case. passed
sentence on the confessed dyna-
miters at 10 o'clock today. j. b.
Mcnamara, the tool, was given a
life sentence and his brother, John
j., the man who planned the dyna-
hitting of buildings ard the killing
of innocent people,, was given
fifteen years in the penitentiary.
These sentences do not SET m
adequate for the crimes these men
committed. When one considers
the enormity of their crimes, the
suffering and misery they have
caused and the possibility of their
gaining their freedom in a few
years, he cannot but think there
has been a gross miscarriage of
justice in these cases. The old
law of life for life comes much
nearer filling the measure of
justice in these cases than the
sentences they have received.
The law of the olden time was
harsh and cruel in many cases, but
for such crimes as the McNamaras
committed it came much nearer
t" satisfying justice than does the
law of the goth century.

CHILD IS BORN WITH
PART OF Arm MISSING

Ushered. into existence minus a
portion of the left arm, a baby
girl arrived last Monday night at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. F. C.
Sears in Ely. The absence of
limb is unusually rare in child
birth, and physicians who have
had year of practice have not
experienced a malformation of
this nature in connection with
their regular duties.
The left arm has the appearance
of having been amputated about
two inches below the elbow, and
there appears to be only one bone
in the forearm. When the infant
moves the fingers of its right hand
a slight twitching of the nerves
and muscles in the other arm is
noticeable.
The father is employed as an
asbestos worker at McGill, while
the mother is daughter Of Mrs.
H. w. Kelley of Cobre. DR.. L. I.
Brock, the attending physician
states that medical works give
accounts of such anamolies in
various forms. but that this is
the first instance Of reformation
that he has experienced.-W White

AN OLD TIME THANKSGIVING

An agd lady recently contributed
to the Brook yn Cillzen this
description of a New England
Thanksgiving three-quarters of
century ago, when life was
simpler an saner than today:
The house was cleaned from the
roof to the celler the week before,
as Thanksgiving in New England
was greater holiday than Christ
mas or New Years and it must be
observed by everybody. The
house was full of nice odors. One
day it would be sweet pickles and
election cake, then pumpkin pies
my sister Persia counted ten in a
row-then plum pudding and We'd
nesday night chicken pie that
would almost crowd the top off the
oven and would come on the table
"a piece of it, | mean. warmed up
every Sunday till the next year.
1t held the plumpest chickens and
sweet apple quarters that had
been half dried and the meat and
gravy were sweet as the apples,
and spices and other goodies and
all in large milk pan. with a
flaky crust at top and bottom a
quarter Of an inch thick.
To make that crust Persia and
had to burn clean corncobs in an
iron kettle and gather up the
ashes, and mother poured hot
water on them, then strained the
liquid and stirred it into some
buttermilk, and that made it
bubble and fizzle just as soda now
adays.
Thursday morning we were up
bright and early, and mother read
a chapter IN the Bible. Then we
all stood up while father prayed
for us and | felt almost like cry
ing, it was so solemn, but | forgot
all over the nice breakfast and the
walk of a mile to the church and
the music and the return at noon
to a dinner smoking hot on the
table.
Mother had arranged a party
for us that evening, but we could
not wait for that, so our sleds
were brought out, and we climbed
the long hills with a group Of
girls and boys and seated our
selves, letting one boy ride with
us on each side to steer it.
The parlor was all in order.
The floor was covered with white
sand swept into curves. The
woodwork was q bright blue,
white sash curtains at the windows
and a plain stand with a green
haircloth on it and a large Bible
resting on that. Six wooden
chairs and stiff backed rocking
chair composed the furniture OF
the room. Stiff and formal as IL
looked, that was not the place fol-
party or party games. The next
room was for our pleasure ground.
1t was large and roomy.
