Hammond Praises Law
Governor Signs County Option
Bill on Monday and Tenn
perance Forces Rejoice

Governor Hammond fulfilled all his
campaign pledges regarding the coun-
ty option bill last Monday morning
when he attached his signature to
the county option bill and made it a
new law in Minnesota. AS the last
hopes of the liquor men vsnished new
life and activities passed into the
ranks of the temperance people and
the anti-Saloon League is talking to-
day uf having an early election in
Hennepin county. The birth of the
county option law on Monday was the
result of an eight years. fight in Min
nesota.
Governor Hammond expressed his
views on the bill after he signed it.
Il read the bill over" he said "and
it looked like very fair bill to me.
Some question has been raised as to
how one or two provisions of the law
may work out. In dry counties il
prohibits the sale or storage of liquor
and the question arises whether one
by keeping liquor in his own house
for his own use would be violating
the law. But elsewhere it says the
law is to be construed literally SO
assume it will be construed not tc
have any such meaning.'
Various predictions have been made
in Morris the past week as to what
might be expected when the county
holds it's first county option election.
Some profess to think enough sigma.
lures cannot be found to make the
question an issue. Others believe the
county would be overwhelmingly dry
A man who is noted for his politica
sagacity and is in close touch with the
situation and sentiment in the county
is of the opinion that the vets nigh
be able to carry four of the villages
including Morris by very small tota
majority. This he thinks would be
more than overcome by the vote of ths
farmers who have become hostile ir
recent years to the idea of being taxec
to defray prosecutions and other ex-
pense incurred through the liquor
traffic in the regulation of which they
have been allowed no voice. On the
other hand we'll informed liquor mer
say the farmers are in favor of the
we'll regulated saloons of Morris ant
Alberta and that there is no chance
that Stevens county will come undel
the sway Of a county option law fol
many years to come. However thu
future promises some interesting de.
velopments.

Browns Valley Won Cup
Makes Highest Score in Stock
Judging Contest at Morris
Agricultural School

The third annual stock judging con-
test at the Morris Agricultural school
was held in this city Friday and was
one of the most successful events of
this kind since the school was opened.
Five schools participated and the
students from Browns Valley carried
off the highest hono"s and were award
ed the prize cup. According to the
rules of the contest the perfect score
was placed at $500. The Browns
Valley boys scored 2, ,654 with Beard
sley and Willard closely tied for second
place. Light and draft horses.
Guernsey and dual purpose cows,
breeding gifts, fat barrows, three
classes of yellow and three classes of
white corn were passed upon.
The contest was under the supervi-
sion of Profs. Wilson and Miller who
are reputed among the foremost live
stock experts in the state. They have
done much to promote this class of
work in the Morris school and their
efforts have been watched with in
terest in every other agricultural
school in Minnesota. When the boys
from the competing schools began the
contest last Friday they were fol med
into five classes or punches of three
men each and each class was headed
by coach. As they passed among
the stock and corn each student took
notes according to his own observa-
tions and when time came for reporting
in the examination each student found
himself seated alongside of a student
from another school. The following
markings were returned by the ex.
amining board:
Browns Valley, R. R. Buchanan,
COACH. 654.
Beardsley. C. H. Schopmeyer
coach-2, sol.
Willard, Leslie M. Carl. coach
2,5O7.
Wheaton, W. F. Rupert. coach
2,493.
Graceville, Earl Weaver, coach
2,485.
In the contest last year the cul
went to Willard. Two years ago
which was the first contest, the honor
went to Wheaton. The general aver
age in scores this year shows mucI
improvement and Professors Miller
anG Wilson feel highly gratifed will
the showing.
At present there are no student
in daily attendance at the Agricul
tural school. The total enrolment fo
the term is 1873 and the term will
close in about three weeks.

Woman Thief is Coming
Powerful Story of Crime, Reform
and Love to be Told at The
Orpheurn Tonight

Startling incidents from the life of
a woman thief will be told at the
Orpheum theatre this evening when
the Trousdale company will appear
in the play "The Girl in Red. " This
is one of the strong bills now being
presented by this company and has
made distinct hits at Brainerd, Sauk
Centre and Little Falls and the other
points on the Trousdale circuit.
The story is about a girl thief
whose exploits baffled the police and
criminologists. She reformed to gain
the love and confidence of a young
man and the temptations which after
wards beset her gath were almost un.
surmountable. 1t is full of strong
situations and there is a comedy
enough to coax laugh from the most
solemn crouch. The Trousdale com.
pany have included Morris in their cir.
cult and will appear here every Fri.
day night. The admission for tonight
will be twenty five cents for any seal
in the house.

tramp variety have been coming to
Morris in unusually large numbers for
the past two weeks and Chief of Po-
lice Ryan has increased mis- vigilance.
a few nights ago he found big. raw
boned strapper "mooching" on the
street with quart bottle flled with
alcohol in his pocket. Chief Ryan
gave him five minutes in which to get
out OF town and when last seen he
was making double time toward the
west. Mr.. Ryan has served in the
capacity of police chief in Morris fol-
more than q dozen years but recalls
no time at this season of the yeal

ing specimens coming through the

water.
A few days ago DR.. Fitzgerald
was called to attend patient sew
eral miles south of Chokio. Antlic-
pating weary nights drive and the
frightful conditions of the road he
started out with a team, buggy and a
driver. Arriving at little town in
the western part of the county DR..
Fitzgerald left his team at the livery
barn and secured fresh team with
which to finish the journey. After ad-
ministering to the patient the doctor

When he arrived at the barn at late
hour he found his horses had been sent
out to bring travelling man to the
next town. Tiring of waiting their
return the obliging doctor came on to
Morris and the next day the teams
were exchanged. 1t was the first time
Dr.. Fitzgerald has had a stunt like
this parpetrated upon him and he was
naturally indignant.

sleep because of bad roads. He was
called to the Paul Retzlaff home
eighteen miles into the north coun-
try to attend Mrs. Retzlaff who ie
quite i'll. On his return to Morris
he encountered some decidedly bad
roads over marshy plain that re.

Several times he was obliged to stop
the machine to investigate the depth

IMPROMPTER RECEPTION
BETWEEN TRAINS.
With State Auditor Preus
Spends Pleasant Hour Here
While on Way to GraceviIle
Late Tuesday Afternoon

Governor W. S. Hammond and State
Auditor J. A. o. Preus spent a plea
SAINT hour in Morris Tuesday afternoon
while on their way to Graceville
where they spoke at the annual ban
quet program given by the GracevilIe
commercial club. The governors visit
to Morris was unannounced and he
took the city by surprise. The presence
of Messrs. Hammond and Preus was
speedily discovered and he was given
an impromptu reception at the Mer-
chants hotel.
Many of the prominent men of the
state attended the program at Grace
vile Tuesday night. The program was
held at the opera house and over two
hundred persons listened to the
speeches. The hall was beautifully
decorated in the national colors and an
elaborate arrangements of electric
lights. Governor Hammond spoke on
the resources of the state. Mr.. Preus
gave talk on fire protection and
called attention to the great waste by
fire losses which has imposed a per
capita tax of SIS en- the people of the
state. F. W. Murphy spoke about
"Our Neighbors. Invitations had
been extended to many Morris people
to attend the banquet.
While in Morris Governor Hammond
avoided discussing politics and made
no mention of his signing the county
option bill. He confined himself to
topics of general local interest. Many
people who have not had the pleasure
of meeting Mr. Hammond before did
so Tuesday afternoon and they are
saying many pleasing things about
the governor today. Mr.. Preus has
many warm friends in Morris and
his time was we'll taken up in hand
shaking. By many of the best politi-
cally informed men of the state Mr..
Preus is looked upon as the man
upon whom the gubernatorial toga
will fall when it comes time for
Governor Hammond to retire.
