Chicago in 1896. Will be the rendevous of Democrats The convention promises to be excit- ing and interesting Northwestern Democrats went to the conven- tion of 1892 via the Burlington —and they know what it is. No ex- periment about it again. Ask the ticket agent for a ticket over the Bur- lington, and you will never regret it. What Baumbach Says. W. &. Baumbach came home from Grand Rapids Saturday to spend Sun- day with his family in this city. Mr. Baumbach is kept very busy in his | vont as manager of the Itasca ercantile company, but he finds time to keep himself posted on the political situation. He says there is no doubt in bis mind of the nomina- tion of Col. Whitney, of this city, for the senate, and that the best of feel- ing prevails toward his candidacy in the easternend of the district. In regard to gubernatorial candidates he said he bad not paid much attention ot late, but he says the section where- in he is located for the present strongly favors the renomination of Governor Clough.— Wadena Pioneer. ' S@eeSSeRSlSlSlSlSI~lse THE GLORIOUS FOURTH. The Old Soldiers Push Prepartions for En- jJoyment with Patriotic Energy. It is indeed fitting that the Itasca county veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic should be gaining so noticiably in their efforts to enhance the popularity of the nation’s birth- day. B.F. Huson post G. A. R. of Grand Rapids, is preparin3 for a cele- bration on the Fourth of July that will eclipse the attractive program of last year and be a credit to every citizen. The committees have worked assiduouslp and merit their success. The following isthe program as arranged: Sunrise—National salute of 12 rounds by one of Uncle Sam’s guns, captured at Fort Donaldson. lla. m.—Grand parade by the Itasca county Calithumpians. 2 p. m.—The B. F. Huson Post will assemble at Post Head quarters at Village hall, and march to Hale lake park accompanied by the vari- ous civle societies of Grand Rapids, Laprairie, Cohasset and Deer River, headed by the Grand Rapids brass band and the Post military band. Arriving at Hale Park the Declara- tion of Independence will be read by Mr. George Arscott, patriotic ad- dresses will be delivered by Com- rades Weitzel and Leahy, and Father Gamache, Rev’s. Campbell and Rob- inspn, and Messrs. Kiley and Ber- nard. These addresses will be inter- spersed with songs by the Grand Rapids quartette. A grand display of fireworks will be given about 9 o’clock p. m. in front of the new school house. Trout for Itasca Streams. Mr. L. F. Knox and Mr. J. M. Romans, after long and patient effort, have at last succeeded in getting a start-in their pet scheme of making trout streams of Hale and Crystal brooks. On Tuesdoy evening Mr. Knox received a can containing 10,000 trout fry from the state hatchery,and at once set them at liberty in their future home. They were as fine a lot of little speckled beauties as anyone could wish to see, and darted away like streaks of light as soon as they touched the water. The people and authorities of the village really owe it to the two gentlemen, who have done this work for the public good, to as- sist by all means in their power, in preventing the destruction of the young fry by boys, and the mature trout, when they come into evidence, by illegal fishing. If given fair play, the deposit put into the brooks last Tuesday will, in three years time, give our citizens a cheap and easy op- portunity to obtain the very choicest morsel the waters hold. But they must be protected, and to that end the HeRALD-REVIEW suggests that the council prohibit the catching of minnows in the portion of the brook where the trout are planted, till they are grown, when they can be trusted to bid deflance to the boys. If the council can’t do it the parents can, aa the HerRaLp-REview hopes they will. Democrats Went to the National Convention of 1892 at Chicago via the Burlington Route. They elected their candidate.
