The Itasca county delegation had good reason to be pleased with the recognition they received at the St. Paul convention. The chairman Hon, D. M. Gunn was made secretary of the convention and Judge Huson was placed on the committee on per- Munent organization. <The result was that Hon. D. M. Clough received 860 votes on the first. ballot giving him the renomination for goyernor in a manner that could not be misunder- stood. He has many friends in North- ern Minnesota who clearly see a cer- tainty of his reelection. ‘The other nominees op -the state ticket are: Lieut. Governor, John L. Gibbs; Sec- retary of State, Albert Berg; State Treasurer, August T. Koerner, and Attorney General, H. W. Childs. The Noted Coliseum. The proprietors of the Coliseum, Messrs. A. M. Johnson & Co., are eclipsing their neighbors in extensive building improvements. They have had a large cellar built, part of which is designed for the heating apparatus and the balance will give commodious space for storage and other purposes. The main floor has been rebuilt and enlarged, a smooth hardwood flooring has been laid and a handsome new bar with modern bar fixtures is be- int put in. Every convenience that is desirable in such an establishment is provided and words of congratula- tions for their energy and enterprise are heard on all sides. The Coliseum will stand comparison with many of the similar concerns in metropolitan cities and is a decided evidence of the growing progress of Grand Rapids and Itasca county, © arene Sapld OUR PREACHER. “4 PREACHER WHO SPEAKS TO THE PURPOSE." As that quadrennial nuisance, the presidential campaign, will soon be upon us, and as it promises to be the bitterest one the country has been afficted with in its history, the Preach- er deems a few words of admonition there anent, will not be amiss—and verily his congregation can go farther and fare worse than lay them to heart and act upon the them—and after the manner of generality of congre- gations, are exceeding aptsto do so. tots : However, that fact shall not deter him from offering the admonition aforesaid, be it heeded or not. And though it contains a great deal of wis- dom and might be strung out toa goodly length, still, the Preacher, be- ing a great admirer of brevity anda consistent practicer of the same when he can be, shall condense his rule of action for the campaign into three words, viz: Take It Easy. And if his congregation will only do so, they will find that they will save a vast friction of temper, an enormous waste of nervous energy, make more friends and fewer enemies, do more good’ service for the party or cause they ad- vocate, have more to be thankful for and less to regret, and gain, perhaps, more of a reputation for political wis- dom then they are entitled to, than the use of any other rule of political conduct they can adopt can bring about. Rett Don’t think because your neighbor may differ from you on the political issues of the day, that he must of necessity be an ignoramus, and that it is your bounden duty to tell him so. There never was but ene man in this world “who knew it all”—and_ praise be to Allah,he kas been a long time dead. Just remember that your neighbor has the same nght to his opinions that you have to yours, and is just as apt to be in the nght of it as youare. Takeiteasy. If you can’t convert him to you way of thinking by argument, you certainly can’t by abuse; but you can make an enemy where you might as well have had a friend by using the latter style, which you will find a losing method in the long run. Dtffer as much as you please, but differ like a gentleman and not like a blackguard—in other words, take it easy. fie aoe And don’t get the idea that the platform and candidates of your party are the best of all possible plattorms and candidates, and that all others are Jehannen. You can take the word of the Preacher, who has been a little bit “on the inside,” that the average run of statesmen, so called, are tarred with the same stick, regardless of the party label they bear, and resemble honest men in one respect at least— that they will bear a whole lot of watching. In fact, that statement will apply to the whole genus poli- ticlan, from congressman down to precinct heeler, and the man who splits his lungs hurrahing for the nominee of his party as the compend- ium of all the virtues. and damns the nominee of the opposition party asa condensation of all the vices, is, as a general thing, only ascribing to the pot an advantage of whiteness of com- plexion over the kettle, when both are blacker than the ace of spades. Take iteasy. All the candidates for the suffrages of the dear people are apt to be on a par, so far as ability and in- tegrity are concerned, and the dear people aforesaid, will be extremely lucky if, in the shuffle of the canvass and election, the bulk of the best of them are not lost. Hence, take it easy. None of them are worth fight- ing over at the best, and the dear peoples best play is to let them do the fighting ¢ all by their lonesome.” isst And if you differ from your friends and neighbors on the financial ques- tion, as well you may, for every man in the United States is going to have an infallible plan for settling that most vexatious problem this year—regard- less of the fact that they know nothing at all about it—and thoroughly de- termined to promulgate and, indeed, fight about it if need be, on that ac- count; still, take it easy. Your neigh- bor is probably not an agent of any “Shylock,” nor yet a silver lunatic, and calling him such will only have a tendency to confirm him in whatever obnoxious views he may hold and not to convert him to those which your superior wisdom had led you to adopt. ce ee Take it easy. You can find no bet- ter way of following the sage council of the Preacher in that respect than by dechning to discuss the financial question at all. The greatest in- tellects of the nation are puzzled over its solution, and its discussion by such of the “‘iIoy Polloy,” (which is Bill Nye’s Greek) as the Preacher, and his congregation can only lead to strife and dissention of the worst kind, and may eventuate in battle, murder and sudden death. The Preacher, for his own part, would as soon go into the middle of a forty-acre lot and try to wipe a bull‘s nose with a red bandana as to participate in a financial discus- sion at the present time, and the situa- tion 1s liable to grow more and more dangerous every dav the campaig t continues, ne. Deer River Breezes. The clouds that were so threaten- ing here Thursday just before the thunder shower developed into a small sized hurricane at Deer River where the windows of the hotels, Quigg’s and Churchill’s, were blown out and the eitizens had to use their best efforts to prevent the building from flying away.

R., de- partment of Minnesota, of this place, has taken active charge of the Inde- pendence day festivities which began with the ball last evening when Vil- lage hall was filled with a bright and joyous gathering. Two excellent sup- pers were served at the hall, where the merry dancers kept time to sweet and lively music until long past mid- night—in fact until close to the time of firing the national salute which oc- curred at sunris2 this morniug. As the guests entered the dancing hall they found it very handsomely ecorated and the work spoke vol- umes for the indefatigable energy and skill of H. S. Huson, the committe on on decoration. Judge Huson has spared no pains in securing all of the flags that were needed, and the states of the Union were well rep- resented by large star spangled ban- ners, some suspended from the ceil- ing and others prettily draped upon the walls and stage. A border of red, white and blue bunting formed an effective finish to the work which surely took considerable artistic skill in its accomplishment. The music by Prof. Buffum’s orchestra was ex- cellent, Misses Nina and Zelma Bohn playing the violins, and Cc. F. Aitken, the cornet. The old soldiers have been ably assisted in their efforts toward properly observing the birthday of the Union by the Citizen’s committee consisting of Hon. D. M. Gunn, D. W. Doran, Henry Logan, John Beckfelt and H. D. Powers. Neat, Attractive and Novel. A delightful ice cream parlor has been added to Stevens Restuurant on Leland avenue by building a roof over the walk on the Second street side of the building and fitting the sides with wire netting. It is a breezy nook, neatly furnished, and the ice cream served there is just de- licious. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens are justly proud of their new and attract- ive resort.
