Smith Given Farewell

Jack Smith. eighteen years in the
saloon business in Morris, retired
Tuesday when his liquor license ended
by expiration. His stand at the
Merchants hotel is closed today and
Landlord Dushek has not decided
what purpose the room will be used
for hereafter. The closing hours at
the Smith saloon were just like any
other closing hour and there were no
outward indications that the place
was closing permanently.
Friends of Mr.. Smith had arranged
little gathering at the Merchants in
the form of a farewell banquet to the
retiring wet goods man. Plates were
laid to eighty-n and the spread
began with oratory at 1870. James
B. Ormond, the Daniel Wesbter of
the Stevens county bar, acted as
toastmaster. Among those who re-
sponded to toasts were John Davis, of
Benson, John Mcclure and VIM. Rich
ards, of this city, and others. Among
the out of town people who were at
the banquet were Aug. Helsper and
Andy Fritz, of Chokio; H. L. Wood
and C. S. Ashman, of Minneapolis,
and John Davis, of Benson.
Mr.. Smith has not announced his
intentions for the future. He is in
Rochester today to which place Mrs.
Smith was taken early in the week
for medical treatment. Mr.. Smith
has the distinction of having conduct
ed one of the best saloons in Morris
and has measured up well to the pre-
scribed standard. He has wide cir
Gle of friends in Morris and is liked
by friend and foe of the saloon busi-
ness for his ever generous and manly
qualities.

O'Neil HasAn.;dsn A6 !

VIM. O'Neil, travelling grocery
salesman and apostle of alaround
cheer, met with painful accident at
the Merchants hotel Monday morning
which may have cost him an eye. 1t
was all because Billy has taken to
practicing medicine as wart doctor
without license.
O'Neil was removing the cork
from bottle of nitric acid prepara-
tory to first application for removal of
a wart. In some manner acid squirt
ed into his face and a drop or two
entered the eye. He hurried to a
doctors Office where lotions were ap-
piled and the burned area of the face
swathed in bandages. His prompt
appearance at the doctors probably
saved his eye. He left Morris the
same day and his friends are more or
less anxious to know about his condi-
tion.

Patrons Greet New Proprietor
Saturday After Deal Requir-

Patrons at the Home Restaurant on
Atlantic avenue greeted new pro-
prietor Saturday morning when they
found John Mayer there to introduce
them to William Brantman. Brant-
man had donned the cooks apron and
was doing the order-flling pending the
arrival of the regular day cook. Mrs.
Brantman was back of the cash reg
lister and everywhere there was an air
of business indicating that a new
system was in vogue.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brantman come from
Marshall where they recently conduct
ed the Columbia hotel. Some time
ago Mr.. Brantman' brother made a
visit to Morris and while here learned
that Mr.. Mayer wished to retire. Mr..
Brantman arrived here Friday after
noon and after looking over the town
and the Mayer proposition concluded to
buy, The deal was made for cash
Friday evening but the amount in
volved has not been given out.
Mr.. Mayer intends to enjoy brief

TWO ON TRIAL FOR
MITMOEN MURDERS
North Dakota Men are Defend
ants in Sensational Case at
Glenwood this Week

George Nelson and John Jacobson,
both young farmers from near Flax
ton, N. D., are on trial today at
Glenwood on charges of first degree
murder. Late last Wednesday after
moon the Pope county grand jury
found indictments against the men on
charges of having murdered Sven,
Amsund and John jacobson, better
known as the Mitmoen. brothers, on
the Mitmoen farm near Lowry on or
about May 6. Widespread interest
attaches to the trial.
The arrest of Nelson and jacobson
came about month ago following in
vestigations by Minneapolis detec-
tive agency Another man living
near Lowry was arrested at the same
time but was released and he will be
an important witness for the state. A
cap found on the murder scene is one
of the damaging pieces of evidence
against Jacobson. A Glenwood hard
ware dealer and a liveryman will add
another link now being forged in the
chain of circumstantial evidence.
The Mitmoens were three aged
bachelor brothers living alone last
May. They had large sums of money
in the house and some of the money
was missing when their bodies were
found. 1t is said that Jacobson anc
Nelson were in Glenwood and Lowry
on or about May 6, and that they
visited the Mitmoen farm. They
declare they were at other points il
North Dakota at the time but the
alibi contains a flaw. Both are re
latives of the murdered men.
Nelson and Jacobson are said tt
have been in Strengthened fnancia
circumstances prior to the murders
Suddenly they began displaying larg'
funds and were lavish in their ex
penditures. Unable to account fo
the money or explain their where
abouts at the time of the murder the.
were arrested. Immediately upon ar
rest they engaged an attorney and be
gan a fight The outcome of the cas-
is being watched with great deal o
interest.

The plan of President Emeritus
Eliot of Harvard for an international
congress to settle all disputes between
nations has been taken up by the So
cialists of Germany, who, in recent
meeting, declared the following as
their program of reform 10 be adopt
cd after the war is over: Interna-
tional arbitration courts must be de-
vcloped into obligatory tribunals for
settling all differences between ma
tions. All treaties and agreements of
states must be subjected to the DEM
ocratic parliament control of repre-
sentative assemblies. International
treaties for limitations of ornaments
must be agreed upon, with a view to
disarmament. The rights of every ma
tion to determine its own destiny must
be recognized. - The trouble will come
when each nation fails to convince the
congress that its destiny is in con
formity with the view of the congress,
and the congress sets out to restrain
said nation.

We have heard good deal for years
about publicity in campaign expenditures,
but the corrupt practices measure enacted
by the New Hampshire legislature not only
has this feature, but it limits the amount
that may be spent by candidates for vari
Gus Offices Any candidate for governor or
United States senator shall not go beyond
the $1,000 mark, and the limit for other
candidates are as follows: Congressman,
$3.50: councillor, $3.50; state senator or
county officer, $50; representative to the
general court, $50 These limits apply to
the campaign between the primary and
the election, after the candidate has al
ready received the nomination of his par
ty. Expenses prior to the primary are
limited as follows: Candidate for nomi-
nation for governor or United States sena-
tor $1,000; for congressman, $500; coun-
cillor, $3.50; state senator or county Off

Our Friends the Birds.
(Mirror and Farmer.l

One pair of common potato bugs are
said by the Washington agricultural
to be capable of developing
60,000,000 in a single season. And the
same rapid increase of many pests
would make life unbearable if it was
not the work of determination done
by the birds which prevented. The
birds are not only among the most
beautiful and interesting of Gods crea-
lures, but they are among our very
best friends. At matter of self
protection as well as friendliness to
them we should give them much at
tention and prevent their being de-
stroyed. For every bird that is killed
an exorbitant price is paid in damaged
vegetation and loss of sanitary condi-
tons. Guard the birds and in this way
guard the health and the prosperity of
the community in which you live.
