Sad News for Rev. Stever

Rev. F. A. Stever, pastor of the
Congregational church in this city,
was handed a telegram as he stepped
from his pulpit Sunday night. The
message conveyed the distressing
news of the death of his sister few
hours before at a hospital in Eau
Claire, Wis. Rev. Stever left on the
next train for Elmwood, Wis, where
the funeral was held Wednesday after
noon.
Details regarding the death are
meagre. Deceased was a woman of
about forty years of age who had gone
to the Eau Claire hospital for treat
ment. Her condition was not re-
garded as serious. Sunday afternoon as
she sat in a chair apparently enjoy
ing her surroundings, other patients
observed the woman in apparent pain
and when attendants reached her side
she had expired. She leaves a
husband and one daughter.
Rev. Stever is expected home today
accompanied by his aged father who
will make his home in Morris.

DULUTH MERCHANTS
COMING TO MORRIS
Three Weeks Trade Tour will
End with Visit to County
Fair Here Next Week

Duluth jobbers and wholesalers who
are on a trade tour of northern Min
nesota this week will arrive in Nor
ris next Thursday afternoon and will
spend the night in this city. While
here they will visit the Stevens county
fair, interview some of the local mer-
chants about trade possibilities and
get first hand information about the
country in general.
The party left Duluth Monday,
Sept II, for the purpose of visiting
all the important towns within the
Duluth trade territory. Regular and
special train service is being used to-
gether with automobiles and the stops
vary in length from twenty minutes
to several hours in each town. From
Glenwood to Morris the trip will be
made by automobile. The list of stops
include visit to twelve county fairs.
All along the line so far the trade ex-
cursion has been enthusiastically re-
ceived.
The Morris commercial club and the
fair management are devising plans
for the entertainment of the visitors.

to be we'll informed on the situation
throughout the district profess to see
an uncertainty in the outcome this
year. The forecast appears to give
Volstead the lead with Lobeck close

LEAGUE TO DEBATE
MOOTED QUESTION
Morris High School Enters State
League-Other Notes From
City High School

Many of the pupils in the Morris
high school are elated today over pros
poets of several lively debates to be
held in Morris this winter. Through
the efforts of Superintendent Simonds
and his assistants the Morris high
school has entered the state high
school debating league which include
most of the best high schools of the
state. The schools have been divided
into ten districts corresponding with
the ten congressional districts and
Morris will be included in the Seventh.
Willmar won the championship in this
group last year but was defeated in
the final state wind-up. The question
for debate in the schools this year
will be: Resolved that immigration
into the United States be further re-
stricted by literacy test. The Nor
ris Seniors and Juniors will have the
first debate on this question sometime
in October.
A foot ball squad of fifteen men has
been organized and the first game will
be played on the fair grounds Sept.
20. The team has not played for
several years but the new material is
showing up we'll with a fairly heavy
lineup and a fast back field. A meet
ing will be held next week when a
captain will be elected.
We are preparing for an exhibit at
the county fair next week and general
interest in the showing has been
aroused. Most of the county schools
will be represented at the fair this
year.
Play grounds are being equipped
with basket ball standards and turn
ing bars. Additional equipment will
be added later.
A girls glee club has been organ
lied with the addition of fifteen men,
bers from last year. The voices were
tested and parts assigned last week
with an additional test Wednesday of
this week for candidates who ap-
piled later. A regular weekly prac.
tiee will be arranged, and the at
tendance will be made compulsory
for all members: An operetta will
probably be presented this winter.
Work in all the departments is
progressing satisfactorily and no
time was lost in getting settled.
With the finishing of farm work a
larger attendance is looked for.

DEMANDS BIG sum
FOR Loss OF FOOT
Morris Attorney Begins Damage
Suit Against Great Northern
for Injured Client

Papers were filed in this city yes
terday in suit to recover the sum of
$50, 900 from the Great Northern
railway company for personal injury
sustained by Frank Kirkham, a Wah-
peton, N. D., young man who lost his
foot when he fell from freight train
at Kensal, N. D., last June. At
torney Thomas Mangan, of this city.
has been retained as Kirkham' 8
counsel and the case will be tried in
the Wilkin county district court this
fall unless a settlement is made be-
fore that time.
The complaint alleges that while
Kirkham was employed in the duties
of freight brakeman by the defend
ant company with a run between
Breckenridge and New Rockford, N.
D., on or abont the first of June this
year, he was violently thrown from
his position on a car and as result
suffered serious internal injuries and
the loss of his left foot. The acci-
dent happened one miles east OF
Kensal when the engineer applied a
burst of power which jerked the
train forward. The wheels passed
over Kirkham's left foot and later at
the hospital the foot was amputated.
Another amputation became necessary
when the leg was taken off at the
knee.
The suit for damages is brought in
Minnesota because of the fact that
this state is the alleged home Of the
defendant corporation which is en-.
gagged in interstate commerce.
Morris tribune., 1916-09-22

The apples will be eaten from tubs of
water placed before the grand stand.
The contestants will have their hands
tied to their backs.
Base ball is announced for both
days. Morris will meet the clouters
from Hancock and the old rivals
from Chokio may be in the game
one of the days. The Morris high
school boys. have their new foot ball
squad working and will tackle Ben
son and Hancock. Foot ball is a
new wrinkle at the fair and is
creating much interest among the
young folks.
Those who wish to make entries of
exhibits before the fair starts may
do so today or any day by bringing
them to Sheriff Zahl's down town
Office on Sixth street.

BREAD BAKERS TO
COMPETE AT FAIR
Minneapolis Cereal Company
Has Unique Method to In
terest People in New Food

If there are any good bread bakers
in Morris, or the rest of the county,
they will have good chance to de-
monstrate their skill at the fair and
win several handsome prizes. There
will be no charges or restrictions for
entering the contest. The rules hre
simple but the bread must be good.
The Cream of Barley company of
Minneapolis have secured concessions
from the fair management and this is
what they will do; To the woman
bringing the best loaf of bread made
from barley flour 75 pound sack OF
barley flour will be given; for the
second best loaf, 80 pounds of flour,
and for the third best loaf 20
pounds of flour. There must be five
entries and the awards will be made
by the fair committee under whose
department this exhibit comes.
Quite a number of Morris women
are already using Cream of Barley
flour and some very good bread has
been produced. With the announce
ment of the bread contest at the fair
next week it is expected that a
good showing will be made. The
Cream of Barley company is backed
by Morris capital to a large extent
and interest in the exhibit is a natur-
al consequence.

DUCKS FLEE WHEN
COOTS SUCK EGGS
Morris Dentist Discovers Reason
for Duck Scarcity and State
will Investigate

Ever since the hunting season open
ed two weeks ago hunters have re-
turned from the fields and passes with
reports that ducks and chickens are
unusually scarce this year. Bags, in
the majority of cases, have been dis
couragingIy small and very few hunt
ers have come in with anything which
borders on the limit. Wet and cold
weather early in the season played a
big part in reducing the number of
chickens but the scarcity of ducks. is
held to be due entirely to other
causes.
DR.. A. S. Cole, of this city, an
ardent sportsman and an authority
on game birds, says the mud hen
is to be blamed for the duck short
age. DR.. Cole has observed the
alarming increase of mud hens and
coots in the lakes, streams and
sloughs and where they are very
numerous ducks do not seem to be
so plentiful. This led him to an
investigation and he finds there is
a relation between these conditions
highly detrimental to the ducks. The
matter has been laid before the Off
GERS of the game and fish department
who say considerable complaint has
been registered. Data is being gath
reed and if there is sufficient evidence
to bear out DR.. Coles suggestions
liberty to take mud hens and coots
may be granted. AS the law stands
at present mud hens and coots are
protected.
With the first few days of the
season fairly good bags were brought
in but the birds have disappeared as
if by magic. Numerous parties
which have started out on excursions
into the country have returned empty
handed, or with one or two ducks
or chickens. Reports from various
parts of the state indicate similar
condition everywhere. 1t is stated
young duels5 have not attained their
tuIl growth and are unable to. fly.
The game wardens are not having
much to do this year. Hunters are
observing the law regarding shoot
ing before sunrise or after sunset. A
breach of this law is federal offense.
Local game wardens do not make ar
rests but report the names of offend
ers to federal officials and the cases
will be taken before a federal grand
jury. Conviction of this offense would
deprive any citizen from federal en-
nj olnurooon+ fnr. tho rnnA &C bic l:fo

Will Receive Fair Entries

Exhibitors who wish to enter their
products at the county fair to be
held in this city three DAYS next
week beginning on Sept. 27, will
have a chance to enter them early
if they so wish. The fair man
agement have made arrangements to
receive exhibits at any time before
the fair in order to accommodate those
who may find it convenient to bring
them in early.
Sheriff Zahl has kindly consented
to receive the exhibits at his down
town Office on Sixth street, opposite
the Kerl & Watzke blacksmith shop.
Exhibits brought there before the
fair opens will be properly entered.
The fair management is particularly
anxious that the matter of exhibits
be attended to at once in order to
facilitate matters when the fair opens
its gates.
