Recruiting Office Opened

Recruiting officers from Fort Smell.
ing arrived in Morris Tuesday and
have opened recruiting Office at the
Merchants hotel. Fear of war with
Mexico caused the officials at Wash
ington to issue orders to recruit the
Minnesota guard to full strength and
it is thought that some of the young
men in Stevens county would like to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
enlist. 1t was supposed that the
sentiment for preparedness was strong
here but up till late hour last night
the results at the recruiting Office
were disappointing.
Privates r. A. and H. W. Isker
are in charge of the Office. They
seek men from 1S to 81 years of
age who may enlist with parents
consent, and from 81 to 35. The
period of enlistment is for three years
but if hostilities end before that time,
if they begin at all, the volunteers
will be mustered out. Volunteers will
receive regular army pay.
Capt. Lennon is expected here to-
day to make arrangements to bring
the volunteers to Fort Smelling on
Sunday. Unless there are enlistments
today and tomorrow Capt. Lennon 8
company will be very light.

ALL IS READY FOR
CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
Tent Will Be Erected on Lot
South of Armory- Merchants
May Close Afternoons

Local boosters for the Chautauqua
which opens in this city next Sunday
for the best programs ever promised
for Morris. have secured the old Cen
tral school lots south of the armory
where the Chautauqua tents will be
raised. The. lot is considered as espe-
cially desirable because of its proxim-
ity to the business district. 1t is con-
venient for all who attend, being the
most central place in the whole city.
The grounds were leveled off the first
of the week, and the grass cut. The
school basement has been filled follow
ing removal of the building.
The Chautauqua spirit arrived in
this city a week ago and was evil
denced by the fact that great many
comments of a favorable kind are be-
ing passed around on the streets. The
first installment of advertising reached
the city two weeks ago and was
noticed along Atlantic avenue in the
form of penants suspended across the
street, and displayed on automobiles.
The penants are attractive and the
demand for them soon exhausted the
supply. A matter of purely personal
interest came to light with the first
display advertisement which appeared
in the Tribune a few days ago. 1t
was the first indication to the public
of the nature and personnel of the
program. 1t has been learned that
the Parnells, we'll known residents of
Willmar and popular in Morris, are
to appear in a specially prepared
sketch. They are clever entertainers
and have some new vocal and instru-
mental numbers which will be sure to
please their friends in Morris. Among
the speakers of note will be Hon. G.
IF. Williams, famous diplomat, states
man and traveller; Judge Schoonover,
of Kansas, one of the prime favorites
on the Chautauqua stage. All the
other numbers are new and of high
class character.
F. The matter of closing the business
houses in Morris during the Afternoon
hours is being talked of and the ques-
tion will be decided before Monday.
In many places the business houses
close during the afternoon programs
of the Chautauqua. Last year very
little business was being done during
the afternoon programs and those who
remained to wait on customers were
disappointed and they missed some very
good entertainment. The move tt
close is looked upon by many as spe
cially desirable because the business
man seldom has an opportunity tt
take advantage of affairs of this o1
this kind. Rich music gathered from
the four corners of the earth; ora
tory by men who have thought out
problems and have suggestions o1
real value may be heard, and the pro
grams will be entertaining and inspir
ing to everyone. There isn't a per
son in Morris who would begrudge the
business men couple of hours free
dom each afternoon to take in the
programs, and nobody will be incon
venienced.
Special exercises for the children
will be held every morning.

AK Hits Woodchopper

While chopping wood at his home
last Friday, Dennis Hennessy was hit
on the head with the ak which infict-

several stitches by the doctor. He
was momentarily stunned but soon re-
gained his senses and walked to the

A clothes line overhead was re-

ADVISE FOR BRIDE
BRINGS FEE BOOST
Montana Man Married Here
Saturday Raises Price on
Court House Knot

A shining gold coin of liberal de-
nomination and which had never been
spent before was Judge A. L. Steng-
er's portion following wedding cere-
mony in Judge Stenger's marriage
parlor at the court house in this city
late Saturday afternoon. 1t was the
obliging Judges first June wedding
ceremony this year. It pleased the
groom immensely and unwittingly he
established new high compensation
record for court house matrimonial
knots. Judge Stenger was visibly
affected as he made out the clearance
papers" as he calls them.
Miss Anna Vikturek, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Vikturek, pros
porous Eldorado township farmers,
was the bride. Ferdinand Graf, a
rancher from near Kenzie, Mont,
was the lucky groom. The bride was
charming in dainty white silk dress
fashioned in the latest mode with hat
to match. The groom wore a brown
suit with a large bouquet of wild
flowers adorning the lapel of his coat.
Miss Jessie Klinger, of this city, was
the bridesmaid and Joseph Vikturek,
brother of the bride, acted as grooms-
man. Judge Stenger read the service,
using the end of his Office desk as an
altar. County Superintendent Roberts
was present at the ceremony and took
occasion to shake hands with the cou-
pie and offer congratulations.
Judge Stenger was contemplating
closing his office to go fishing when
the bridal party nervously tip-toed in
to the room. "We wish to be mar
ried,' said the bride as she produced
the marriage license whereupon Judge
Stenger arranged them in group
in one corner of the room as if about
to take their photograph. With a
solemnity befitting the occasion he
read the service and the groom nodded
his assent. His bride was clear, posi-
tive and premature in her answers.
After the ceremony Judge Stenger
took occasion to congratulate the cou-
pie and offered bit of kindly ad-
wise. "You are fine looking couple
and l predict long and happy future
with no regrets over the choice you
have made here today" said Judge
Stenger as he announced the ceremony
was over.
"What's the fee?" inquired the
groom who has recovered his voice.
Irregular price" came the answer
but the judge wasn't permitted to fin
ish the statement.
Across his desk a clankng gold coin
was scratching it's way as the groom
admonished the Judge to keep the
change. And realizing that he was
taking one of the prettiest girls in
Eldorado township to live with him
on the ranch in far-away Montana
the groom was the last to bow him.
self out of the marriage parlor,
Mr.. and Mrs. Graf left Morris on
the afternoon train for the home of
the brides parents where neighbors
joined in a festive dinner party. Mr..
and Mrs. Graf will leave this evening

"A Lesson Study in History" was
the subject of Supt. Zemer's address.
He took the development of the ma
tional constitution for the lesson to
be studied This was given in outline
form and was a review of the history
of our country during the revolution
and of the years Immediately follow
ing it.
He told of the events leading up to
the final adoption of the constitution
and of the part that such men as
Washington, Hamilton and Jefferson
played in bringing this about.
DR.. Corson then spoke on "Co-opera-
tion of Teachers With Pupils" 1t
has been said that the badge Of SAN
ity in the business world today is
the ability to cooperate. This is just
as true in the churches, schools and
other organizations as in the business
world.
DIR. Corson said that three elements
are necessary for cooperation. These
are an abiding interest in the person
or persons with whom we are to CO.
operate, genuine sympathy for him
and sincere appreciation, not only
of what he does, but Of what he hon
estly and persistently tries to do.
AFTERNOON SESSION
Tuesday afternoon DR.. Corson con-
tinued his talk of the morning on
~'Teaching Pupils to Help Them
selves" He said that scholarship is
a very necessary qualification for a
teacher. If she has a broad know
ledge of the subject to be taught she
can find some avenue of approach to
the minds of different pupils by ap-
pealing to their various interests.
But scholarship without sympathy
will not count for much in the work
of the school,
He thinks that there is tendency
at present to make the work too easy
