the Orpheum Tuesday evening and
when they arrived home about eleven
o'clock they found the rooms full of
smoke. An alarm was turned in and
the company responded promptly. In
the meantime the fire had eaten a
large hole in the floors, ceilings and
walls of the bedroom, kitchen and a
closet. All the clothing and bedding
had been consumed and when the fire
was extinguished only the charred
remains of the furniture greeted the
firemen. Sparks from the kitchen
stove may have caused the fire.

FINE PROGRAM AT
WITWER CONCERT
Spacious M. E. Church Filled
when Davenport, Ia, Wo-
man Appears in Benefit

Practically every seat at the spa.
cious Methodist church in this city
was filled last Friday evening when
Miss Hazel Witwer, of Davenport, Ia,
assisted by Messrs. Henry Meyer and
A. B. Newton, of this city, appeared
in concert program given as bene-
fit for the Methodist Sunday school.
Those who were present listened to
one of the finest programs of this kind
given in Morris for along time. The
proceeds amounted to about 1858.
The first number was a piano selec-
tion, polanaise in C sharp minor,
from Chopin, by Miss Witwer and was
received with applause. Prof. Meyer
presided at the piano in number of
beautiful vocal selections by Miss
Witwer which captured the audience.
Her piano selection from Leschetizky,
for the left hand only, was revela-
tion of skill and talent and was ap-
peciated by everyone in the audience
who understood music.
A. B. Newton excelled in his dram
attic reading of "Mother, His rendi-
tion of "Ole Bulls Fiddle" could
hardly have been improved upon.
"Ole Olson's Political Speech, cat
the Old Front Gate," and "Willie
and his Girl' were exceptionally clev-
er readings and Mr.. Newton won al
most as much applause and praise as
did Miss Witwer. Mr.. Newton pos
sesses rare dramatic talent. The stage
lost a star when he decided to devote
his time to newspaper work.
Those interested in Methodist Sun
day-school work in Morris feel great
ly indebted to Miss Witwer. for the
time and work expended to make the
concert such a success. They also
the efforts of Messrs. Meyer
and Newton and hope for the oppor-
tunity of again presenting them to a
Morris audience.

PRATT WINS OVER
COTCH'S PROTECE
Morris Wrestling Fans Witness
Fast Performance at Morris
Armory Thursday Night

About one hundred and twenty five
persons gathered at the armory Thurs
day evening last week to witness the
wrestling match between Grapplers
Pratt of Donnelly, and Miller, of
Humboldt, Ia. The bout was exciting
from start to finish and was won by
Pratt who secured the first and last
falls. Those who witnessed the bout
were satisfied the men were after the
honors and the gate receipts and three
are so suspicious of frame-up.
Both men suffered severe bruises.
Pratt got the first fall in seven
minutes with half-Nelson and body
hold. The second fall went to Miller
with leg and cross-bar hold in TWEEN
ty-one minutes. Preceding this fall
there was some very clever work and
both men wiggled out of some decid-
eddy tight pinches. Pratt injured his
shoulder during this spasm.
1t required seventeen minutes for
the last fall. Pratt continued on the
defensive and several times came
within an ace of being Topped for the
count. Then he changed tactics quick
ly and secured a full-Nelson and toe
hold. Slowly Miller yielded to the
pressure and was Topped onto his
shoulders and was counted out.
Frank Smith acted as referee. The
Humboldt man had many admirers
on the floor and he looked like sure
enough winner till the very last mo-
ment. After the match Pratt was
challenged to another combat and it
is understood will give his conquered
foe another trial.
There were no preliminaries to the
, match, those having agreed to go on
for sparring match backing out at
the last moment. The mat used was
an old canvas laid over shavings and
this accounted for the bruises the men
received in the falls. Both men were
"bungled up' considerably but shook
hands and forgot everything after the
match. Pratt took all the gate re-
ceipts and aside bet of one hundred
dollars.

GROCER MIKES INK
And BRAIN; WINS
Sixteen Competitors Fail to Beat
Lyon County Grocer with
Newspaper Ally

A. J Chamberlain, veteran gro
ceryman at Marshall, Mimi, has tried
newspaper advertising twenty years
and says advertising is an income and
not an expense. He is doing business
in town with population of 2,7OO
where there are ten groceries and six
other places where groceries are sold
but he has the biggest grocery bust
ness of them all and he says it is due
to twenty years constant advertising.
Last week he wrote the newspaper a
letter in which he tells of some of
his experiences and this is what he
says:
"Dear Sir: When the year 1916
has rolled around to May, we will
have been in the grocery business in
Marshall just twenty years. For
twenty years we have advertised. Not
only in the paper that you are editing,
but in other papers as we'll.
"Just figure up the usual amount
of space we use each week and by
multiplying it by 1000 you will have
approximately what we have spent in
your paper alone. It's a sum that
takes your breath when you stop to
consider that to pay for these adver-
tisements, certain profits must first
be made and then taken from the
sales of country grocery, where COM
petition is anything but void.
"Even facing the competition of
nine first class grocery stores and six
establishments handling grocery spe-
.cialties, we find that sales warrant
our being able to advertise, and we
do. If we skip a week, it is because
we are too busy to write copy. We
confess that some times the amount
of business credited to our ADVERTISE
ments is not enough to pay for the
cost of the advertisement, but by
sticking everlastingly at it, the twen-
ty years we have kept shop here has
brought us a clientele we are proud
of. And we want to tell you that
we are sure that advertising has
brought US it's share.
"Our advertisement in your paper
last week, which advertised a Satur-
day sale, brought US the most bust
ness we ever received from a single
advertisement. Not counting city or
country orders delivered by the Gust
emers themselves, we delivered, by
actual count, one hundred and twenty
eight orders. The majority Of these
orders contained items listed in our
advertisement.
eve want you to know this so
if you care to, you can tell others
those who hesitate about advertising
in your paper. 1t will show them
that advertising is an income and not
an expense. Very respectfully yours,
A. J. Chamberlain.

The first auction sale of pure bred

Story of Marking Of District

Plains Ceremony.
TRIBUTE PAID D. A. R. WORK

At the dedication ceremonies yester-
day of the fence around milestone No.
on the District boundary line, near
Blue Plains, Fred L. Woodward, the
principal speaker, outlined a history Of
the placing of the stones 125 years ago,
and also paid d tribute to the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, who
are responsible for the movement to
preserve the site by fencing each stone.
Mr.. Woodward reminded his auditors
that 125 years ago the United States
was an infant. and that science and in
vention had not yet taken the great
steps which have marked the latter
years of the country. He then described
the original boundaries of the District
of Columbia:
Beneath the southern sea wall Of the
miniature lighthouse on Jones point, be-
low Alexandria, incased In concrete
cage which was constructed III 1919 by
Engineer Corps, may be seen the initial
