Girl Dies Suddenly

Miss Olga Matthews, of johnson, a
young lady we'll known in Morris.

week and her death is shrowded in
mystery to some extent. She ap-

she went to a neighbors' well for a
pail of water but at the well she was
seized with convulsionsl and fell to
the ground. When assistance came
she was frothing at the mouth and.

by the Clark brothers, and the Geib-
Carl people. The yards were consoli-
dated when the Clarks transferred
their stocks and business to the Geib-
Carl yards, and closed their doors.
j. W. Clark, manager Of the yards,
states the decision to sell out came
after he had considered a number of
other propositions and plans requiring
more or less of his personal attention
for the summer. "We were going a
nice business said Mr.. Clark, "and
prospects were bright indeed. The
Geib-Carl people made US a good offer
and this, coupled with the present
situation in the lumber world because
of the European war, as we'll as pri-
vate matters, hastened our decision to
SELL"

PASTOR LOSES WAY
IN A FIERCE STORM
Rev. A. Olson Has Tough Ex-
perience Sunday Evening as
Cutter Pole Breaks

Last Sunday was one of the most
disagreeable days of the whole winter
with binding snow storm filling the
roads and temperatures falling steadi-
ly from noon till midnight. Rev. A..
Olson, pastor of the Free Lutheran
church in this city, made a drive
from his church at Scandia, to Morris,
during the progress of the strom and
had the toughest experience of his
life.
He was returning from Scandia
about six o'clock in the evening and
when he reached the cut two miles
east uf Morris the cutter pole broke
in making turn in the snow. Rev.
Olson was obliged to unhitch the
horses and continue the journey on
foot, driving his team. All traces of
the road had disappeared and a fine
snow resembling flour dust filled the
air. The horses became blinded and
several times Rev. Olson was obliged
to restore their sight by removing the
icycles and massaging the horses eye
lids with his palms. For about half an
hour Rev. Olson realized he was lost
on the prairie but steered his course
straight into the teeth of the gale and
succeeded in reaching Morris between
seven and eight o'clock. He left the
cutter with all the robes and blankets
in the road where he found them
Monday morning embedded solidly in
a crust of snow. cit is the worst ex-
perience have ever had in any storm
and hope never to have another like
it. have fair idea now what the
old-fashioned blizzard was like. That
snow and wind just took a fellows

darkness it was impossible to locate

ing with bright sun beaming and a
gentle breeze from the west. All in
dications pointed to a perfect day and

the snow for the stop. Their feat was
pronounced by the professionals to
have been the most remarkable per-
formance at the tournament.
A large number of Morris people
went over on both days but the lar
gest delegation went on Saturday when
the Northern Pacific announced spe-
cial train. At the depot Saturday
morning so tickets were sold. The
train returned to Morris about eight
o'clock Saturday evening bringing
back many who had gone the day be-
fore or had gone over by team. A
dance was given the visitors in the
evening at which Morris was we'll re-
presented. Glenwood took care of the
visitors in fine shape although all the
hotels were crowded and many had to
be accommodated at private homes.

MRS. D. 7. WHEATON
CALLED BY DEATH
Prominent Pioneer Woman Dies
at Home in Morris Was
Active Church Worker

After a brave battle with the Grim
Reaper extending over a year, Mrs.
D. T. Wheaton, a pioneer settler
and one of the highly respected wo.
men of Morris, succumbed in death
at her home in this city last Saturday.
Death was due to tumor. The funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon from
the Wheaton home.
Mrs. Wheaton had been a resident
of Stevens county for oevr thirty six
years. She was women well known
and we'll liked in the community and
for many years took an active interest
in congregational church and Sunday
school work, and was also interested
to some extent in the work of the var
ious ladies' societies in the city. Ill
health caused her to cease activities
some years ago.
Deceased was born January %,
1858, at Chicago. ILL.,, and came with
her parents to Minnesota at the age
of nine years. She was married to
Mr.. D. T. Wheaton in 1880 under her
maiden name of Miss Minnie Larson.
Two daughters, Miss Grace and Mrs.
Carl Krause survive.
The funeral Tuesday afternoon was
held in accordance with the wishes
of the departed who requested that the
ceremonies be simple. Rev. Stever,
pastor of the Congregational church,
officiated and paid splendiad tribute
to her memory. Rev. Richardson,
Mrs. Wheaton's former pastor, also
spoke and recalled many incidents
from his first years experiences in
Morris church work at which time
Mrs. Wheaton took a deep interest in
church matters. Many of the old
friends of the deceased and the inn
mediate neighbors attended the fun
eral and accompanied the remains tc
the grave. The floral decorations
were beautiful. Among the out o1
town people. who attended the funeral
were two of Mrs. Wheaton's sisters
who live at Starbuck. They returned
to their home Wednesday morning.

ARMORY TOO SMALL
WHEN K. C'sDANCE
Brilliant Social Event Tells Need
of New Public Gathering
Place in Morris

Bright lights cast their resplen-
dent rays over a gathering of fair
women and brave men and joy reigned
unconfned at the armory last Friday
night when Morris Knights of Colum-
bus gave dancing party to their
ladies and friends. The gathering
showed that the spacious armory is in
adequate to accommodate the numbers
that are likely to gather at future
events of this kind. Not all of those
invited by the Knights attended the
function but had they come the mat
ter of accommodation would have been
a problem.
One hundred and twenty seven
tickets were received at the door
which indicated something like three
hundred persons who enjoyed the dance
program at intervals through the eve
ming. Aside from an excellent dance
program the floor committee saw to it
that no congestions occurred and that
all were given chance, to partici-
pate in Gripping the light fantas-
tic The music was furnished by
the Dode Fisk orchestra which ap-
peared in Morris for the first time in
five years. Mr.. Fisk "called the
changes" in a manner that brought
delight to every dancer and when the
dance broke up at an early morning
hour there was an eagerness on the
part of many to continue the festi-
vities. The ladies of Assumption
church served a lunch at the hall.
Many people from out of town
attended the dance and the local
committee accorded them a most
cordial welcome. The local knights
and the committees upon whose
shoulders fell so much of the work OF
preparation are receiving many com
pIiments today over the excellent
program and the delightful time furn-
ished to all who attended the dance.

MORRIS DRUG MEN
HARD HIT BY WAR
Prices Soar to ProhibitiveF Figures
and Some Drugs Cannot be
Had at All

Morris people may be forced to an
acorn and SNOWFALL diet and may have
to go back to the Indian sagwa and
burdock liniment as panacea for ills
if the war continues much logger.
Prices on drugs are soaring to new
high attitudes and many articles as
glycerin, cellulnse and acids of vari-
GUS kinds which enter into the con-
position Of explosives are off the
market entirely while others are
climbing steadily and bid fair to con-
tinue till peace arrives or the entire
population of the country is converted
to Christian Science.
In conversation with Morris drug
gist the other day the Tribune CLEANED
few interesting, not to say startling,
facts in regard to the drug situation.
For instance: Asperin, a drug used
chiefly as an ingredientin medicine for
the alleviation Of coughs and colds, is
practically out of the market owing
to the European trench demand. Phen-
olax, made UP as a laxative in wafer
and other forms, has tripled in price
form that of normal times. Carbolic
acid, favorite antiseptic which
wholesaled few months ago at 80
cents pound is now 1925. Nearly
all the American supply came from
England and Germany. Quinine has
gone sky hootin' from 25 cents an
ounce to $3.50 per ounce, and many
other drugs have gone to such an
altitude that the average sick man is
sure to get whole lot sicker when he
finds out what they cost.
Potassium bromide has scared from
80 cent to $40 per pound-some diff
erence-and sodium bromide is run
ming neck and neck at about the same
figure. There is no reason for partic-
ular alarm from that quarter in Nor
ris right now, however, for the dry
wave which removed the saloons re-
duced the demand for bromo seltzer.
Owing to the scarcity of dye stuffs
procurable only in Germany, colored
paints are also affected. One of the
Morris druggists states that were he
given an order today for bright red
pigment he would be at a loss to know
where to buy it. This hits the painter
and the printer man also. and the wise
pressman will tip the boss to put in
an order for any fambouyant Fourth
of July colors he may need. The
word has also gone forth that right
now is the time to stock up on what
ever things one finds necessary in
whatsoever line for if the war con-
tinues another year our old friend, Hi
Cost of Living, will look like a beggar
by comparison.

Torch Explodes

William Nelson is at his home on
East Eighth street suffering with
burns over his body, arms and face as
the result of gasoline explosion at
the university farm school last Fri
day. Mr.. Nelson was repairing a
boiler and was using a gasoline blow
torch. The torch exploded throwing
the burning oil over Mr.. Nelson and
set fire to his clothing. Assistance
arrived and the fire was extinguished
but not till Mr.. Nelson had received
serious wounds. He is resting fairly
well today and unless complications
follow he will recover rapidly.

Sold Booze: Fined

A man giving the name of Warren
and claiming to be a resident of
Breckenridge where he is little known,
was brought before Judge Flaherty in
this city Wednesday on the charge of
selling liquor at Breckenridge without
a license. He entered a plea of guilty
after the attorneys in the case had
engaged in a legal sparring bout and
was sentenced to thirty days in jail
and fine of $50. The fact that he
had spent considerable time in Jail
at Breckenridge reduced his Jail SEN
tence.

DARING SKI JUMPS
EXCITE HUNDREDS
Ski Tourney at GIenwood Puts
New Champion in Field - -
Special Train for Morris .

Henry Hall, Ishpeming, Mich, won
first honors in the National ski tourn-
ament at Glenwood last week with a
total of 285 points. Ragnar Omtvedt,
of Chicago, was second with 281
points. Lars Haugen, of Chippewa
Falls, Wis, champion long distance
ski jumper, retained his title with a
jump of 1872 feet. Several thousand
people witnessed the performances
on both days.
The surprise of the tourney was
the failure of Haugen to secure a
place among the three high men on
points. Haugen is the idol of all ski
performers and the coming of Hall, a
dark horse, somewhat eclipses Haug-
ems feats. None of the performers
at Glenwood came anywhere near de-
feating Haugen's record for the dis
tance jump but Hall will be after it
strong when the next tourney is held
at St. Paul next February.
One of the brilliant feats at Glen
wood on Saturday was the performance
of Axel Henricksen, of Duluth, who
turned complete sommersault high
in the air, alighting safely amid
thunderous applause Morris people
who witnessed the performance say it
was thrilling sight.
Another feature event was the twin
jump of Chester Kaldahl and Milo
Wollan, two Glenwood boys who have
developed remarkable ski proficiency.
Starting from the top of the high
tower the boys came down together at
lightning speed, rose over the dump"
and went sailing beautifully through
the air. They alighted safely beside
each other and went skimming over

Wins
PRIZE AT HERMAN
Former Morris Pastor Has Fine
Exhibit at Poultry Show
Where Many Compete

Rev. F. Fl. Richardson, of this
city, former pastor of the Morris Con-
gregational church, won first prize and
blue ribbon honors with his poultry
exhibit at the Herman poultry show
which closed Saturday. Poultry fan
ciers from Stevens, Traverse and
Grant counties competed and the
show is declared to have been the best
held in this section of the state for
some time.
Rev. Richardson and his family
returned to Morris about two months
ago after an absence of several years
in Iowa. He brought a number of
fine barred Plymouth Rock chickens
and when the show at Herman was
announced he decided to enter his
birds. He selected five and sent them
to the secretary at Herman but was
unable to visit the show in person.
Monday morning he received letter
from the, secretary inclosing a check
and a blue ribbon with advises that
his exhibit had been awarded first
prize. Naturally Rev. Richardson
feels much elated with his success for
there were many fine birds at the
Herman show.
l.. Like most men Rev. Richardson
has a hobby and his bobby is chick
ems. He has devoted much time to
the study and raising of poultry and
he has had many interesting expert
.ences. He has left the ministry now
and is devoting his time to realestate
and farming and finds plenty of time
to devote to his poultry. "The Ply
mouth Rock, - says Rev. Richardson,
Esis my pet bird. l believe is the
best general purpose fowl for the
farmer in this section for they are
good layers all seasons of the year.
and they dress well for the table.
Ifthink amost people who fail with the
. Plymouth Rock feed the birds too
much. Too much feed and little or
no exercise kill them quicker than
starvation or exposure. I had very
little hopes of capturing first prize at
Herman but l wanted to let the
folks see really fine Plymouth Rock
bird and so sent mine up. I see
people up this way are taking more
interest in poultry than they did a few
years ago. Chickens are great pro-
ducers under favorable circumstances.
The egg industry of the country is
increasing steadily and egg prices are
also going up. - T.,
