Carron brooded sulkily and
finally flung himself out of the
room and went for long walk.
He returned to find II the
heavy batteries of house cleaning
unmasked. 1t seemed natural
that the scholar should shut him
self in with the peace of his books,
while the upheaval in the hotel
went forward. He would have
been helpless in such an emer-
gency. But Carron was born for
the handling of objects. animate
or inanimate. In the first days
of his arrival, while operations
had been limited to the more po-
lite business of sweeping, he had
kept his distance, but it was i'm
possible to remain aloof when two
women were struggling with lad
ders and hammers.
He, in spite of Mrs. RAIDERS
objections, made himself aide-in-
chief of the situation. She was
most anxious to accept him in this
role. She looked a him as if
he were exclusively an ornament,
and at best a suspicious ornament.
There was no argument for this
attitude of mind but to take off
a coat and show this self-willed
creature that, ii she knew what
she wanted, he knew how It ought
to be done. Mrs. RAIDER betrayed
diffidence in the situation that
spoke touchingly of a woman UNI
accustomed to be helped. She Of
fered her directions timidly, and
once or twice he caught her look
ing at him as If his dexterity and
his kindness were the last things
she had expected of him.

TUBERS TO OCCUPY
HOME OF SPIRITS
S. j. Stebbins Buys John Gund
Warehouse and will Estab-
lish Potato Market

Spirits frumenti which had their
happy home at the John Gund ware
house on the Great Northern right of
way at 7th street until they were put
to flight by the results of the recent
county option election will never re-
gain their headquarters in Morris if
the plans of S. J. Stebbins are sue
cessful. If any spirits care to linger
three hereafter they will have to be
content to repose in the bodies of pot
atoes.
Last week Mr.. Stebbins closed a
deal for the warehouse at which time
he was granted lease of the ground
which it occupies. Mr.. Stebbins will
transform the place into a potato
warehouse and have it ready for busi-
ness to handle this fall's crops at
which time he will make a bid for all
the potatoes delivered in Morris. Dur
ing the summer months he will use it
as cold storage for vegetables and
perishable groceries, fruits, ect. The
warehouse has a capacity for fifty
cords of ice.
81 got the building at a satisfactory
price," said Mr.. Stebbins, land
don't think it will be necessary to any
great changes to equip it for my pur-
poses. During the next few months I
shall use it to store perishable goods
which cannot be handled to advantage
in my store cellar. l have plans for
going into the egg and potato busi
ness on larger scale and the ware
house will be an absolute necessity"

MONEY PLACED ON
STOVE IS BURNED
Treasury Officials at Washing.
ton May Refund Fifteen
Dollars to Morris Woman

Unless the, United States treasury
department at Washington decides to
send Morris woman fifteen dollars
to replace three five dollar bills she
forgot on stove when the children
built fire Monday afternoon her for
getfulness will result in total loss.
Cashier F. R. Putnam of the Morris
National Bank has taken the matter
in hand and will see what can be done
in the matter.
The lady in question returned home
from a shopping tour Monday after
noon. In her purse she carried three
five dollar bills crunched into a roll
together with quantity of silver and
valuable papers. The room was cold
and in removing her wraps she placed
the purse on the stove. A few mo-
ments later some of the children ar
rived and built fire first failing to
see the purse among the pans and
kettles. When the fire grew hot
odors of burning leather filled the
room and an investigation led to the
discovery. The remains of the purse
were removed but some of the con-
tents were burned to crisp. The
currency had been reduced to a
charred mass but enough remains to
identify it as money.
The burned roll was brought to the
Morris National bank Tuesday after
noon where advise was sought. Mr..
Putnam raped the money carefully
and sent it on to Washington where
officials of the treasury department
will examine it and it is hoped they
will find enough to identify the num-
Der and denomination of the bills. If
they are successful the Morris lady
will undoubtedly recover the amount
called for.

The boys of the Morris fire depart
ment are considering the installation
of an electric fire alarm to be used in
case OF fire when the members of the
fire department are absent from their
business places where the present
alarms are placed. The matter has
been called to the attention of the
city commission and it is hoped favor
able action will be taken.
1t is proposed to install an alarm
that will serve as a general signal in
case of fire, and to be used as time
whistle and curfew. Several devises
have been Investigated and one that
operates with compressed air, re-
leased by electric current, is the most
popular. Blowing the whistle in sub
dued tones at morning, noon and
night, and at the curfew hour, is re-
commended as means of keeping the
whistle in proper condition in case of
emergency.
The Stevens County Telephone Co.
installed a fire alarm signal in con
nection with their phone service some
time ago. An alarm was placed at
the phone of each member of the de-
partment and the rings are delivered
automatically. The system works
perfectly but whenever the fire fight
ers are absent from the phone they do
not get the call. In case the new
system is installed the fire boys feel
there will be no necessity for. them
being late to any fire. The appeal to
the city commission is to seek an o.
K. and some financial aid.

Came Here i'm 1871

Hans Sherstad, one of the early
pioneers of Stevens county who lives
on a farm near Donnelly, was in the
city to renew acquaintance Tuesday.
Mr.. Sherstad is one of the early
clerks in Morris having clerked for a
number of years in the Larson and
Nelson store. He came to the city
in 1871, shortly before the railroad
came through. When he quit mer-
chandising he went to farming and
has met with gratifying success. In
late years Mr.. Sherstad's health has
been seriously impaired because of a
paralytic stroke which affected his
back and limbs.

where she spent some time at the
home of her uncle and aunt; Mr.. and
Mrs.~A G. Hull, at Riverside, Cal.
Among the points of interest visited
were the Panama exposition at San

all.

that in the death of DR.. Hulburd the
city has lost an estimable citizen
whose services to humanity cannot be
estimated. Many expressions of re
gret over his demise have been freely
made this week of which the follow
ing are few.
Frank Hancock-Dr. Hulburd was
one of the best men l have ever
known. He was a man of noble i'm
pulses who gave freely of his time
and money to the distressed. His
deeds of cnarity will never be known.
He was high grade citizen in every
respect.
E. ]. Jones-He was one of the
best men l have ever known any.
where. He was most unselfish, kind
and generous, and was always looking
for an opportunity to do good. Words
fail to do justice to his memory.
S. Stewart-I suppose there isn't
a man in Morris that was better lik-
ed than DIR. Hulburd. The sympathies
of the community go out to the wife
and daughter who are left by the de-
parture of one whose place never can
be filled.
j. H. Devenney-Dr. Hulburd has
left monument to his memory in
Morris. I had known him thirty-two
years and in all that time I never
heard him utter an unkind word. He
was faithful. good and kind servant.
M. B. Lord-Dr. Hulburd was one
of the finest men in Morris. I was
associated with him in a drug store
years ago and saw much of him.
never heard him say an unkind word
about anyone.
O. G. Hanson had known DR..
Hulburd since the first days he came to
Morris. AT that time we started a
boarding club and he became mem
ber with Andrew Helgeson, Fred
Teele, M. M. Moore and myself. The
club existed about four months but
we got pretty we'll acquainted. We
all liked DR.. Hulburd and in the years
which have followed I found him to
be the same sincere, upright and
honest person. His death is a disast-
er to Morris.
A. A. Stone, Sr.,-Dr. HuIburd
was not strong on theology but he
came the nearest to living the Christ
life of any man ever knew of.
became personally acquainted with
him shortly after he came here and
saw much. Of him till he died.
S. j. Stebbins-He was a fine
man. His passing will be loss to
the community.

CYRUS LUMBERMAN
YIELDS TO CUPID
Walter Hanson Weds Miss Anna
Peterson at Home of Brides
Parents at DonnelIy

Leap year is cutting a wide and
deadly swath in the ranks of Morris
bachelors. The latest victim is Wall
ter Hanson, former bookkeeper at the
E. j. Jones lumber offices in this city,
but now in charge of the Jones yards
at Cyrus, and a young man we'll
known and popular in Morris. Mr..
Hanson was married Wednesday
afternoon of last week to Miss Anna
E. Peterson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Peterson living three
miles and half north of DonneIly.
The wedding ceremony was performed
at the home of the BRIDES parents by
Rev. Pilgrim, pastor of the German
Lutheran church in this city. Only
immediate relatives and friends of
the couple were present. The news
of the marriage comes as an agree
able surprise to the many friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson.
The bride is also a former resident
of this city having been employed
here for several years. She is a
charming young lady of many graces
and while here extended her popular
ity to large circle of friends. Mr..
Hanson is the son of Mrs. H. P.
Hanson, of Cyrus, and has long been
regarded as most desirable matri-
monial catch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson will go to
housekeeping at Cyrus where they
have secured rooms at the Mrs. Gjert
Peterson residence. The Tribune
joins with Morris friends in
wishing the happy couple a long
and happy life's journey.

WAGE RAISE HITS
HARD COAL PRICES
Ten to Fifteen Cents Per Ton
Every Month Up to Sep
tember Follows Boost

Gradual advances in the price of
anthracite coal throughout the sum-
mer are anticipated by local dealers.
Just what these advances will amount
to the dealers are not in a position to
state at this time.
May 1 there was an advance of
fifty cents per ton but this increase
has not been made by local dealers so
far, and probably will not be till fall
because very little anthracite is bought
and used in Morris during the summer
months. Mine operators have several
years reduced the price of hard coal
fifty cents ton on May 1 and then
gradually raising the price ten cents
a month till September. Those who
bought coal during the early summer
thus made a considerable saving.
This year no reduction is announced.
The winter prices prevail at present
and there will be a ten cent raise
above this every month from now till
September. Local dealers are not
quite so sure but the monthly raise
will be fifteen cents.
The advance, it is claimed, will
come as result of the increase in
wages granted to employees by the
anthracite operators recently.
Most of the coal dealers in Morris
are low on hard coal but have their
orders in already. They hope to get
their orders filled at the old price,
and are in hopes that the supplies
will be arriving soon.

INDIANS TO FRONT
Battle Here Next Sunday will be
Featured by Presence of Red
Men i'm Uniforms

Indians from Nebraska will come
over from Glenwood next. Sunday to
get the scalp of the Morris base ball
artists. The battle will be staged at
the fair grounds diamond and Manager
Boyd declares if the visitors from the
lake succeed in carrying out their de-
signs they will have to go some. The
Independents have some reputation for
being heap big chiefs themselves and
already have the Glenwood scalps
tackled to the back yard fence where
they were tackled in couple Of games
last summer. Despite this fact a
very cordial feeling prevails between
the Glenwood and Morris base ball
teams and when the visitors arrive
here next Sunday they will be given
the glad hand.
The game will be called at the usual
hour in the afternoon. Practically all
the old home team will be in uniform
but lineup cannot be made till
shortly before the game. Regarding
the visiting team the Glenwood Her
aid has this to say:
can Indian battery consisting of
Henry Roy pitcher and Sloan catcher
came here yesterday and will be given
a try out with the team. Mr.. Roy
has pitched several seasons with the
Nebraska Indians and comes very
we'll recommended. Last year he lost
only two games out of thirty two
played. Another slab artist Mr.. Lar
son will also be here for Sundays
game for try out. If these two
should make good. our team should
be well supplied with pitchers. Mr..
Brazel who has done so we'll for the
local team the past season may be

Voss Wants War Stopped

c. l.. Voss, Morris photographer,
feels like getting after the crowned
heads of Europe with sharp stick.
He blames them and their war game
for the high prices which are getting
higher on Photographic supplies every
day. 81 don't know what l shall do
if the war continues and the prices go
much higher" he says.
Voss is the young man who came
here few years ago and revolution
lied local picture making. Art mag
azines have paid his work high tri-
butte but he charges the same old
prices for his work. 1t is not to be
wondered at if he feels alarmed over
rising cost of supplies. He has some
on hand and those who are wise enough
to sit for pictures now will be con-
siderable money ahead.
