ly done. advtf.
Tom Mangan and Rev. Stever, of
Morris, and j. F. Cunneen, of, Chi
cago, addressed dry meeting at the
Star theatre Sunday afternoon and
were greeted by a full house.
Miss Hazel Gulbranson was Nor
ris visitor Friday where she inter-
viewed dentist. Tuesday evening
this week she attended Royal
Neighbor lodge meeting and met many
new friends.
P. E. Schlattman came to town
bright and early Monday morning to do
a little business before the voting
began. Mr.. SchIattman made a guess
on the result of the balloting and his
judgement seems to have been accur-
ate.
Rain prolonged the pleasures of
AxeI Loften last Sunday. de spent
the afternoon at the Raasch farm and
about nine o'clock in the evening a
drencher rendered the roads slippery
and the night hideous. Axel showed
up about noon the next day and set
the wheels at the blacksmith shop
to humming.
Jacob Wander had the distinction of
casting the first vote in the election
in this village last Monday. His &C.
tion was quickly followed by others
and in less than forty minutes ten
persons had deposited their ballots.
Balloting proceeded quietly and order
Iy throughout the day and there was
no electioneering on the streets or
business places. John Geib. Tom
McLaren, J. A. Schultz, L. ]. Schlstt-
man and Chris Eystad acted as judges
but McLaren and Schultz had substi
tutes after the polls opened.
A. Helms was an Alberta visitor
Monday and while here replenished
his store of harness. He expects to
get busy in the fields right away and
is one of the boys who believes in
having everything. including his har-
ness. in good order before he begins.
Mr.. Heinis IS a young man, is we'll
posted on current events, and takes
much interest in the affairs about the
county. He has placed his name on
the Tribune's subscription list and
will read the Alberta news each week.
Quite a number from here attended
the wet speech at Morris Sunday
evening when c. A. Windle, editor of
the Iconoclast, spoke at the armory.
Windle sprang into fame about twenty
years ago as an organizer and orator
for the A. P. A., and anti-Catholic
order, and was also interested in tenn
perance work at that time. Lately
he has blossomed forth as gatherer
of kale in the ranks of the liquor i'll
terests of the country. He has for
gotten the A. P. AS and with great
cunning is about the land inducing
Catholics to vote for whiskey on the
assumption. perhaps, that whiskey
will kill more Catholics in day than
the A. P. A. IS would in a thousand
years. All the Alberta people who
heard him agree that he is a man of
great talent but not all of them ad-
mired him for the way he was using
it.
j. A. Schultz came up from Litch-
field Monday to look after business
matters and to vote. Mr.. Schultz
and his family left here week ago in
their automobile for an extended
visit with friends in Stearns, Meekel
and Hennepin counties, and are
having a fine time. After his visit
here Monday Mr.. Schultz found every
thing in splendid shape at the store
and postoffice and felt that he wa!
entitled to another week. Mr.. Schultz
is one of the busiest men in Alberta
He is postmaster, burgomaster, store
keeper, auto enthusiast, good road
promoter, manager of the baseball
team and is looked up to by all tn
children who regard him as sort O.
a present day saint because of hi
candy generosity. Reports of tn
game between Alberta and Choki
here last Sunday pleased him i'm
mensely and he went away to pull u
a few more fish and gather healt
and freckles and be care-free for an
other week.
Crime, misery and tears is over
whelming Kansas SINCE that stat
went dry according to little fello'
named Conwell who spoke here Frida
evening and who claimed to hail fror
Kansas City. Conwell was we'll o
''con'' for he told how the insan
tails in Kansas were overfowin
