If Brother Bernard could hear the private comments that are made on his “Immigration Journal,” he would hesitate about publishing any solicited comnients on the thing.

A neptha launch was shipped here this week by Dubuque, Ia., parties, who will put it on the lakes above the dam, where they expect to put in con- siderable time fishing and hunting. Mrs. G. B.

If the clerk of the weather 1s not above listening to a little friendly admonition, the HeEraup - Review would respectfully hint to him that we can do without any more pre- cipitation for a day or twe. Herman Kilitz while running the edger at the Knox mill, last Thursday, caught his left hand under the roll, but was lucky enough to escape with a painful, though not serious _lacera- tion ot the middle finger.

Official notice of the date will be given in the HeraLp-REview. Dr. J. R. Howes arrived from Du- luth Monday evening to look after his electric light interests here.

As is the custom, the Grand Army Post will attend divine services tomor- row—the Sunday preceeding Decora- tion Day—at the M. E. church, upon the invitation of W. H. Robinson, pastor. The post will attend in a body. If you own a dog and don’t want the life that is within; him to escape, it would be well to see Marshal Laisur before the 1st of June. The dog tax must be paid—or in default thereof said canine pays the penalty provided by lawand the common counci]— which same is death. The fire department was called out at 3 o’clock Fnday morning to extin- gush a blaze in the'kitchen of the Michigan house.

Moose Lake Star: ‘Kiley and Kelly—Kiley of the Grand Rapids Herald, and Kelly, late of the Aitkin Age, are likely to be associated in journahstic work in the campaign that 1s now opening.

Huson is doing considerable business in the handling of oil these days.

George Cox expects to complete his work of booming the logs in Bass lake today. He had the hauling of 120.000 feet of logs re-marked by Fred Wilmer last summer. _ That en- terprising young man undertook to steal the logs, and when caught at it he skipped to parts unknown and has not since been heard from. St. Paul Globe: The State Bank of St. Paul has brought suit against John A. Bowman and John A.

Hibbing News: Messrs. | Pe Sims, J. F. Killorin and W. C. Gil- bert, directors of the Lumbermen’s and Miners’ bank, were in town Wednesday, when it was decided to erect a one story building, corner Pine street and Second avenue, to which the: bank will be removed on its completion. A representative of Millard F. Bow- en, of Minneapolis, was in town this week distributing cards containing a synopsis of Mr. Bowen’s platform as candidate for governor. The HaRraLp- Rentew is not acquainted with the new aspirant for gubernatorial honors, and therefore will refrain from intimat- ing that he is a demogogue. Dick Lennihan got a close shave last Saturday evening at the Pokega- ma barber shop. While the tonsorial artist was lowering the back of the chair preparatory to beginning his work of torture, the third finger of Dick’s left hand was caught in the machinery and was only released after being badly mangled. He now car- ries his arm in a sling and tends bar with one hand. Rey. F, A. Allen writes from Clo- quet that there will be Episcopal pub- lic worship according to the book of common prayer at the old school building in Grand Rapids next Sun- day, the fourth Sabbath of the month. Archdeacon Appleby has made an appointment of a rector to this place and hereafter services will be held monthly. As the fishing season opens up Grand Rapids begins to attract the true sportsman. Already there are many inquiries from parties who con- template coming here to spend a por- tion of the summer. Dr. Howes re- ceived a letter from Mr. W. H. Squires, district manager ot the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, last evening, in which that gentleman says he will arnve here shortly to enjoy our superb fish- ing. The very interesting and _itstructive articles on experimental farming with a history of the work in the Unites States and other countries, from the pen of Dr. Rosser which have been running in the last three issues of the HERALD, are this week concluded. The Her- ALD-Revirw hopes to receive other ' contributions from Dr. Rosser in the future, as any subject on which he | writes is always presented in a most interesting manner, The many friends of Archie Carson were pleased to bid him welcome back to Grand Rapids last Saturday. He returned after an absence of over a year and a half to again become an Itasca county resident, He has trav- eled considerably. throughout the west, and now does not hesitate to say that there is He Ease place than Grand Rapids. . Carson has ac- cepted a ates with the firm of W. V. Fuller & Co., the lumber- men. Thanks to the exertions of Mr. L. F. Knox and several other gentlemen, and the kindness of the board of game and fish commissioners, we are to have several of the spring brooks in this vicinity stocked with speckled trout. A letter from Executive Agent Fullerton received last night gives the information that the young fry will be sent to Mr. Knox, who will attend to planting them. Mr. Knox is a public benefactor and with the commissioner will be voted O. K. by every sports- men in the country. Daniel C. ‘Robertson, who made proof on his pomestrad » in 152-29 about a year ago, and which was held up by the land office at the time, has at last received word that the suspen- sion has been released upon recom- mendation of Special Agent Gray by the commissioner of the general land office. Through some error in the taking of the original testimony the proof was brought into. question, but investigation developed the fact that Mr. Robertson had_ fully complied with the law. He is now granted sixty days in which to perfect his title. Pokegama Tent, K. O. T. M., received a communication from : Miss Katie Williams, daughter of the late P. G. Williams, last week, in which she acknowledged the receipt of a draft for $1000 through the officers of the local tent—the amount of insur- ance carried by her father in that order, The Knights of the Mac- cabees have an enviable reputa io 1 es- tablished throughout the courtry for prompt payment of insurance pulicies, and it is fast becoming recog- nized as one of the foremost beneficial orders of the world, Pokegama Tent is rapidly increasing in membership, having increased from twenty to over sixty during the past three months. Mr. N.J. Orr, one of the former propnietors of the Grand Rapids Re- view, will go into business m Duluth, engaging in job printing and the man- ufacture of rubber stamps, seals, etc. He has already secured office room in the Phoenix block and expects to get started up in about two weeks. The business will be run under the name of Zenith City Stamp works. Mr. Orr is a first-class mechanic, an industrious young man, and the HeRALp-REvIEW sincerely hopes that his venture will prove a satisfactory success. He should be able to secure a large num- ber of orders from his Grand Rapids fends before leaving town. The HeERALD-REvIEW is well pleased with the patronage which it receives from the Grand Rapids _busi- ness men, and it believes in support- ing home institutions entirely. It does not propose to sell its columns to outside department concerns and urge its readers to spend their money for goods in Duluth or elsewhere. This week the Herratp-Review re- ceived a very good offer for half a page of space from a Duluth house, but promptly declined to entertain the proposition. So long as the Grand Rapids business men stand by the HERALD-REvIEW, as they have done in the past, the HERALD-REview will stand by them. The entertainment given by the Willing Workers at Village hall last night drew out a large audience and was as novel as entertaining. The chief feature was a checker contest between E. J. Farrell of the Gladstone, and George F. Myers. The stage had been transformed into a giant checker board, and Farrell’s side thereof was occupied by twelve young ladies in white, while Myer’s squares were filled by a like number attired in black. Two games were played, Farrel winning both. George is a good player but he 1s too bashful to handle such a bevy of beauty as he had on his hands last night, to the best of advantage, while Farrell, like the A 1 hotel man he is, 1s beauty- proof when business is to be attended to, and had a decisive advantage therefrom which made him winner. Refreshments were served, and the whole affair was a gratifying success, New Business Enterprise. The Postofiice Book and Stationery store, under the management of Benj. Herrig, Jr., is taking on a decidedly business-hke appearance, and prom- ises to be one of the liveliest stores in Grand Rapids when the new stock has arrived. Mr. Herrig’s long busi- ness general popularity and large acquaint- ance, will combine to give him a profitable business at once. He will make a specialty of green vegetables, fruits and canned goods, receiving daily shipments from the Duluth pro- vision markets. He will also carry a full line of books and _ stationery, novelty goods, etc., and a large stock of cigars, tobaccos, pipes, and every- thing pertaining to that department. A First-Class Restaurant. Dave Chambers, who has long en- joyed the reputation of being the king of caterers in northern Minnesota, has at last succeeded in securing a lease of the best location in Grand Rapids— the west end rooms of the McAlpine block on.Third street. Dave at once set to work remodeling the place and put on an addition to be used as a kitchen. This change provides for an excellent dining room as well as lunch counter, and the place will be con- ducted for the accommodation of both ladies and gentlemen. Meals are now being served at the lunch counter, but the dining room will not be in readi- ness until about Tuesday of next week, when Dave will have a grand opening. Like everything else, the markets of Grand Rapids are constant- ly improving and Mr. Chambers does not hesitate to say that every delicacy of the season will always be found on his tables, and his past reputation jus- tifies the prediction that the new “Cafte” as he has christened the _res- taurant, will be a credit to Grand Rap- ids and a money-maker for its genial proprietor. When in doubt buy a “Ben Hur” the best bicycle mads, experience, coupled with his; "OUR PREACHER. ‘4 PREACHER WHO SPEAKS TO THE PURPOSE.” Continuinghis last week’s sermon the Preacher exhorts the boys to cal- tivate manliness. By that he does not mean to inculculate the early acquirement of the use of tobacco, or a precocious proficiency in the use of profane language, nor yet a fluency in obscene talk. Far from it. Such things are not, as some boys—more’s the pity—deem them, badges of dawning manhood. ‘They are only sure signs that the boy who has mastered them has only acquired the disgraces of manhood, and that ten to one he is fitting himself for cer- tain failure in the race of life. But let him school himself to regard a lie or a dishonorable action as so far beneath him that he can never stoop to tell the one ordo the other. Let him learn to scorn to say or listen to anything he would not have his mother hear,* and above all let him acquire the courage to do what his conscience tells him is rig! ht, regard- less of consequences, and he will be a man his community may well be proud of. © Taek And let the Preacher’s young friends be sure to thoroughly master some profession or trade. Not ac- quire a smattering of it, but learn it so thoroughly that you are masters of itin every detail. Let them make up their minds what they will be, and no matter if it be a lawyer, doc- tor, minister, carpenter, or what not, let them decide that they will be the best lawyers, doctors, ministers or carpenters their generation has_pro- duced. The “jack”? at any trade or profession is having a hard time of it these days, andit is growing harder for him the older the world grows. But to the master-workman the world is growing kinder all the time, simply because the world must have him and can’t get along without him, and therefore is glad to honor and reward hira. Remember that, put it to the proof, and see if you don’t rise uw and call the Preacher blessed for so advising you. sors ‘The Preacher yields to no man in respect and reverence for the Grand Army of the Republic, but he was astonished to see the following put forth as the official act of Garfield Post, G. A. R., of St. Paul: ‘Where- as, Said William Lochren has, for the past three years as United States commissioner of pensions, been the unquestioned enemy of the soldiers of the war of tke rebellion in his per- sistent endeavor to delay, through his legal technicalities, the tinal prosecu- tion and allowance of their pension claims, and in his disregard of the just spirit of the law 1n behalf of those who made it possible for us to exist as a nation.” The ‘‘whereas” quoted is part ofa protest against Judge Lochren’s confirmation as U. S. judge, sent by the post to Senators Davis and Nelson. ‘Oh, the pity of it,’ that good men should allow partisan feeling to lead them to so atrociously libel such a man as Wil- liam Lochren. Pet St However, the Preacher is well as- sured that it never could have been the work of men who knew the his- tory of the First Minnesota, and is certain that it is pot and cannot be the action ot the whole post froin which it comes. Judge Lochern needs no eulogium from the Preacher, or anyone else, and the Preacher does not propose to give himany. But he does propose to assert that Judge Lochren did as much to ‘‘make it pos- sible for us to_exist as a nation,” as any soldier in Garfield Post, or out of it, and will cite a few historical facts to prove it. re All the world knows that the battle of Gettysberg was the critical one of the civil war, and all the world knows that on the result of that battle was set the success or failure of the Union cause in the whole struggle, or, in other words, the life or death of this republic of ours. And the Preacher asseris that under the providence of ee BBY, God, that battle was saved hy the First Minnesota, of which regiment William Lochren was an integral part. 5 ee: ~All the world knows that Lee had pierced the Union center, had driven the thin edge of his living wedge of veterans through Sickles’ broken division in the historic peach orchard, and had but need of one hour's time to pour his men through the gap in the Union line. To win the battle, Gen. Hancock, on whom command had devolved upon the death of Rey- nolds, galloped up, saw “what was line left to do; saw that the rebel advancement must be stayed or the battle lost; saw that an hour then was worth an eternity hereafter, and saw that he had but the First Minne- sota, 262 strong with which to gain that hour. tot And with that skeleton regiment he gained it. He cried, ‘charge! First Minnesota!” apd man against company, company against brigade, the glorious old First went down into that smoking hell of battle and, do- ing a feat of arms without parallel in the world’s history, held the triumph- ing rebel host as ina vice till the Union reinforcements came up, and the day was saved. While the world lasts shall the fame of the old First last, the highest glory of the North Star state, andon the state’s bead- roll. of great and goodly sons shall never be greater name than that of William Lochren. fet The regiment went into the charge 262 strong. Forty-seven came off with the colors. Every other man was down, dead or wounded, and the man who prone off the regiment, himself wounded, was William Loch- ren, 2nd lieutenant, company E. It is no distortion of truth to say that Judge Lochren’s war record is part of the record of Minnesota. His record since all men know, and the best thing of it is that he can only be abused with falsehood, for no man can abuse him of ought dishonorable and speak the truth, ip PURSUE Ie SERA > SmI Ea Te oes Serna ERG Rar TIT Saree ARE YOU A GOOD DRESSER? paahsasdinkslocuassiinsbaaancapsananasanensnaasniasaine a gee Se Me eat ae Me see este e ORDER = The Goods are in Stock.
