P. White and Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Pravitz are having a very pleasant time camping at Benda’s point, Lake Pokegama, this season. Mr. White drives to town every day and he handles the ribbons al- most as dexterously as he counts coin. They will keep open house tomor- row for the entertanmment of numer- ous friends from here. The dance given last evening by the band boys was not very liberally attended, and the members are inclined to feel a little discouraged in their efforts to sustain the organization. It requires no small amount of work on the part of the musicians to keep a brass band together and if the citizens do not appreciate their efforts it cer- tainly cannot be sustained. Attorney Price received a copy of the order filed by Judge Holland in the case of Timothy Burns vs. the Koochiching Townsite company, and the motion of the defendant company tor a new trial is demed. The judg- ment secured in favor of Mr. Burns was for $1,053. Attorney Merrill, for the company, will take the case to supreme court, and it will again come up at the October term. There is a new cycling club organ- ized in Grand Rapids. The charter members are D. W. Doran, Neal Hickey, F. E. Brown of 60-24, and two or three others.

Mr. Krom is an experienced clothier and will no doubt do a thriving business. The stand which he has selected 1s an excellent one. How dear to our hearts is the old silver dollar, when some kind sub- scriber presents it to view; the liberty head without necktie or collar and all the strange things that to us seem so new; the wide spreading eagle. the arrows below it, the stars and the words with the strange things they tell; the coin of my tathers, we’re glad that that we know it, for some time or other ’twill come in right will—the spread eagle dollar, the star spangled dollar, the old silver dollar we all love so well.—Masonic Journal. : The O’Malley company which will open at Village hall next Monday evening with a four nights’ engage- ment, have an excellent reputation as the Tramp; and on Thursday eve- ning, under the auspices of Wabana lodge, K. of P., “Damon and Pythias” will be given. Price of admission, 15, 25 and 35 cents. Seats for sale at Nisbett & Warriner’s jewelry store. Attention is called to the announce- ment of Cable & Libby, the enter- prising meat dealers, which appears on the front page of this issue. They are making some notable reductions inthe price of meats which will be appreciated by the people of Grand Rapids. They propose to keep up with the times and down with the prices. This enterprising firm are en- titled to the liberal patronage which has been accorded them since they engaged in business here about three months ago. “George F. Myers came down from Grand Rapids last night and will be in town for a few days. George says the Republicans of Itasca are standing on the St. Louis platform and believe that the grand cld party is abundantly able to deal with the currency question to the satisfaction of the country.”—Aitkin Republican. That George was down to Aitkin is a tact, but that the Republicans are all standing by the g. o. p. is only about half true. The other half will vote for Bryan and free silver. As an evidence of the high esteem in which Manager W. R. Baumbach, of the Itasca Mercantile Co., is held by his associates and employes of that institution, it was only necessary tosee his desk last Thursday. It was bedecked with many beautiful bouguets in the center of which was a handsomely framed photograph of the Itasca force in group. The event was Mr, Baumbach’s forty-seventh birthday, and this kindly remember- ance was deeply appreciated by him. Acard on the photograph reminded Mr. Baumbach of the interest which he had in the day—it bore the words “July 16, 1849—1896—many§happy returns.”” It’s positively disgusting to hear the editor of the Magnet talk about the sacrifices which he is constantly mak- ing in behalf of Itasca county as secre- when it isa well known fact that he would not surrender the position so long as there is a posibility of holding on toit. ife uses the association as an advertising scheme for himself and never loses an opportunity to | rate about the wonderful things he is un- dertaking and accomplishing in be- half of Itasca county and Grand Rap- ids. As a matter of fact the only thing that the county ever secured in the way ofa public institution through public enterprise was the experimental farm and that he tried by every means possible to prevent being located here, because it was obtained through the efforts of others and becaus¢ he was not delegated to represent the county before the state board of regents, The Little Falls Daily Transcript has the following to say of the O’Mal- leys, who will be at Village hall four nights, begining Monday next: “One of the very best performances seen in this city for some time was given by the O’Malley’s at the Gross Opera house last evening. The evening’s entertainment opened with the one act drama, entitled, “One Touch of Nature.” It was a very pathetic piece and cleverly acted. Then followed the laughable farce comedy, ‘Collage Chums,” and for more than an hour the audience was kept in a perfect up- roar of laughter. T. F. O’Malley cleverly impersonated the widow and created no end of amusement. Miss Anna O’Malley$ has a wonderful bari- tone voice, and sang three very pretty songs, and was each time heartily en- cored. The company 1s coinposed of first class artists and deserved liberal patronage. Mr. W. F. Sims and Miss Delia Allen were passengers to Duluth this morning, where their marriage cere- mony was set for this afternoon, and many were the wishes for their future happiness by friends who escorted them to the train. Mr. Sims is well known and deservedly popular throughout northern Minnesota,where he has been identified for many years with the interest of the Itasca Lum- ber company. Miss Allen has been a resident of Grand Rapids for a nur- ber of years, having made this place here home with the family of her sister, Mrs. John Craig. She is a most charming young lady and _ held in Ingh esteem by an extensive circle ot frends and acquaintences. The young couple have the hearty con- gratulations of all, who wish thema joyous honeymoon and a happy and prosperous experience of wedded hfe. They will be at home in Grand Rap- ids about August rst, and for the pres- ent will occupy the Chisholm resi- dence at the corner Fourth street and Hoffman avenue. The Ladies Deserve Suocess. All the ladies of the village are cordiall invited to attend a meeting at Village hall on Monday .evening at half past seven o’clock to consider plans for raising the small balance due upon the, village piano. This fine instrument, which was bought last Thanksgiving, has been a source of much genuine enjoyment to the general public and one and all of the citizens are justly bound to assist in the plans for clear- ing off the $100 orless for which the com- mittee remains responsible. There enter- public entertainers.- They _ will open Monday night with “College Chums;” Tuesday, “Nat Goodwin’s Mother-in-law;” Wednesday, “Jerry prising ladies have succeeded splendidly thus far and their success las not been ac- complished without a great deal of active effort. ‘The response should be liberal and general. - 5 . tary of the Agricultural Association, | Our Public Schools. It is earnestly hoped by those most interested that the school board of this district will profit somewhat by the experience of the year just past, and the members will undertake to employ teachers who are qualified ed- ucators and who can do justice to the important positions to which they may be assigned. It is indeed most unfortunate that men are chosen to represent the interests of a school dis- trict such as Grand Rapids who will stoop to the low level of the political nepotist whose aim it is to provide salaries for members of his own fami- ly without regard to experience or equipment to perform the exacting duties required of teachers in this age of progress. The attention of the school board is called to the following state law: ‘“Nocontract shall be made with any teacher who is related by blood or marriage to any member of the school board without the concur- rance of all the members of the board of trustees by vote duly entered on the clerk’s record of proceedings.” The intent of this wise provision was to discourage just such flagrant abuses as have existed in the Grand Rapids schools during the past year. One conscientious member can prevent it. Remnants in wall paper, from 1 to 5 cents per roll.. H. E. Ricnarpson. Preparing For The Races. It is evident that the owners of speedy horses will be doing consider- able business in the line of racing at or about fair time. Dan Doran and others have formulated plans for a convenient race track and the horse- men are getting their favorites into shape for fast work. It is suggested also that such a track would be an excellent place for bicycle races. There are a number ot scorchers in this locality who would make a race meet- ing lively if such an opportunity pre- sented itself. Plans for the horse rac- ing and scdedule of entries will {soon {be presented by the race track organi- “zation. For G. A. R. Members, A handsome little knapsack or rather, a pocket folder representing a knapsack, has just been isused by the land department of the Northern Pacific railway. It will circulate principally among those who are in- terested in the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic to be held in St Paul in September and it outlines the various locations of lands offered by the Northern Pacific, their ptices per acre, and the opportunities tor free homes in the northwest. Its unique attractiveness cannot fail to bring returns to the department of William H. Phipps, land commissioner of the N. P. Expert Blacksmithing The well known machanics, Smith & Riddle, are forging ahead and have extended their business considerably of late. They are running both of the blacksmith shops here, G. D. Smith supervising the work at the old John- son shop corner of Kindred avenue and Fifth streets and Frank Riddle has charge of their well known estab- lishment near the railroad bridge. They are experts in scientific horse shoeing and in all lines of iron work- ing. Now is the time to get bargains in wall paper. H. E. Richardson He Explains. Grand Rapids, July 24. Editor Herald-Review:—More than fifty dif- ferent times, by so many different people have I been asked this ques- tion: Is there, any salary in connec- tion with the appointment as aid de camp by the commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic? Permit me to say that there is no salary whatever, only a little honor, similar to that of a chore boy na first-class hotel or a nurse in some in sane asylum. The soldier himself must apply for the appoiptment. It would not reasonably be expected that the commander-in-chiet would know every old stiff, like myself, who served’ in the late rebellion from Maine to Alabama and from the shores of the Atlantic to the Rockies. Very Respectfully, Wm. WEITZEL. Proposals for Blds. Notice is hereby given, that bids will be received and opened by Charles R. Aldrich, Minneapolis, architect of the university of Minne- sota, on July 30, 1896, for improve- ments on buildings at the Northeast- ern sub-experiment station, Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

Congressman Towne two years ago paid 50 cents fora Mexican dollar which he used during the campaign as an_ illustration against free silver. But he has changed since then, and he now wants the United States to issue the same kind of a dollars as Mexico. ‘The foregoing is from the Wadena Pioneer,and if the editor had any regard for the reputation of his paper or himself, he wouldn’t have coined any such lie. Nearly everyone in this congressional district heard Mr. Towne two years ago, and by printing such trash he renders the cause of bimetallism good service. 4 Sorta 'W.c. GILBERT, J.P.
