The-excursion of Waubana Lodge, Knights of Pythias, to Hibbing last Tuesday was highly enjoyed by all the participants. The Sir Knights took along their paraphernalia and made a good showing in the cere- monies of the installation of Forest City lodge at Hibbing Tuesday _eve- ning. Grand Chancellor Col. E. H. Milham and Grand Keeper of the Records and Seals Fred K. Wheaton were present and delegated the work of installation to Waubana lodge, which performed the function by team work in the amplified form and conterred the degrees upon twenty new members of Forest City lodge. Three Sir Knights joined by card, making a total of 23 members in starting the organization. A splen- did banquet was given at midnight and the work continued until half past tive o'clock on Wednesday morn- ing. The Hibbing Sir Knights took great pains to give their guests a very pleasing entertainment and the lead- ing citizens of the town joined in making the trip highly interesting to the visitors. This was particularly true of Frank Hibbing who led the way to the most notable points of in- terests, took the visitors through the nines and showed the workings of the great iron mining industry which has made the west Mesaba range so prominentin the busines world. The special train brought the excursion- ists back on Wednesday. Among the Pytbians of the party _were:— Chancellor Commander E. A..Kremer, Sir Knights D. M. Gunn, H. D. Powers A. P. White, L. C. Warriner, Charles Kearney, George Booth, ©. C. Mec- Carthy, A. A. Kremer, Charles H, Brown, H. E. Graffam George F, ae ers, J. J. Decker, C, H. Marr, F. P. Sheldon, O. J.

D. Rasmussen, Charles Fisher, T. M. Brady, F. Smith J. McDonald, Angus McDonald, Walt Johnson and George Lothrop. An Event of History. The consecration of Duluth’s new Cathedral of the Sacred Heart took place last Sunday. The ceremonies were beautiful and impressive and were witnessed by the largest con- gregation that ever gathered together at the head of the lakes. ° Among the Darercl pan te in the ceremonies. was Rev, C, V. Gamache, of this place; who assisted Rt, Rev. Bishop Mc- Golrick in the blessing of the church. Archbishop Ireland, of St, Pan] and Bishop Shanley and Cotter were prominent among the clergy who of- ficiated, Their Annual Visit. Mr. and Mrs, Edward Cunningham of St. Louis, who returned to this sec- tion for their summer outing made made many friends during their so- journ of several weeks here. They visited the surrounding lakes and had the best of luck fishing, a sport in which Mr. Cunningham is a true disciple of Isaac Walton. His return year after year shows his faith in the resources Itasca ccunty offers to the sportsman, and he says that the blatk bass of this section are the largest, Zamiest and best flavored of the species.

SUNDAY BALL GAME. ' A) Contest Between Hibbing and Grand Rapids on the Home Grounds. The Hibbing base ball nine will come over here Sunday on a special train to play the nine just organized here by Manager Frank J. Murphy. About a hundred of the Hibbingites will come along to coach the batters from the Mesaba range. They will receive a pleasant welcome for they have many friends here, but when it comes to the ball game itis to be fought at every point aud the nine selected by Manager Murphy are well equipped to put up a game that should make the old hills of the Miss- issippi echo with yells of delight. The home nine consists of: W. Mc- Bride, c; Frank Haben, p; Dan Shan- non. 1b; F. H.Webster, 2b; E. Crepar, ss; F. J. Murpby, 3b; Jake Wasson, lf; Dave Huson, ef; John Leahy, rf. Fred Webster is the captain of the nine. When the Hibbing boys try to stop this agbregation of base ball science, they wil] find that itis no easy job. It is admitted that they have a very fine crowd of players and there is no doubt but that the game wifl be the best exhibition of base ball work ever seen on these home grounds, A Dramatic Treat The program of the T, F, O'Malley Comedy: company will long be re membered with pleasure by the large audiences that have thronged Village haJl during the week. ‘The company came here with the intention of doing a three night stand but Mr. O’Malley concluded to remain the week, The company presented on Monday night: “A Touch of Nature” and “College Chums;” Tuesday, The Mother-in- law; Wednesday, “The Tramps Daugh- ter;” Thursday; “Damonand Pythias” Friday; “A Wife’s Peril” and will pre- sent tonight the charming Irish drama entitled “Arrah Na-Pogue” or “The Wicklow Wedding” While the comedies were given with great excellence the presentation of Damon and Pythias.showed that their dramatic talents cover a wide range of pleasing entertainment. The Knights ot Pythias under whose aus- pices the play was given congratulate themselves justly upon the results. Mr. A. R. Eithier surprised the critical element by the fervor and true drama- tic art which shone forth in his work, He was eloquent, pathetic and force- Tt was his second appearance in the character but his words reached pleasantly to the farthest corner of the long hall. The text was given with artistic smoothness by all of the company. Mr. O'Malley and his daughters Misses Anna, Gertrude and Mabel were highly appreciated in this as in all of their plays. ‘They will give a benefit tonight, under the auspices of the Labor league, to Mr. Thomas Olin, who is suffering severe injuries from a recent accident. In playing “Arrah Na-Pogue” tonight the O’Malley’s are perfectly at home in one of their favorite Irish plays, seems to be “agitating the minds of the people at the present time.

King, delegate to the St. Louis Populist convention from this district, returned home on Tuesday evening. While everything didn’t go as Mr. King voted, yet he is well pleased with the outcome and he says there is no pussible chance of defeat- ing Bryan. The country is awake with free silver sentiment and-it will continue to increase from now until November, says Mr. King. It was the natural antipathy of the southern Populists to the Democratic party that caused the strong opposition to Sewall rather than any -personal ob- jection to the man. Bryan was the unanimous choice of the Populists even to those delegations that voted against him on the last ballot. Some of the Southern states had made the mistake of instructing their repre- sentatives to vote for a straight Populist ticket, and under the cir- cumstances they could not do other- wise. Mr. King does not think that Watson will withdraw, but he freely expresses the opinion that his nomi- naticn will strengthen rather than weaken the ticket. Mr. King was one of the two delegates from Minne- sota who voted for Sewall from first to last. * x * Itasca county Republicans’ will soon find it necessary to reorganize their committee. Chairman H, D. Powers is a pronounced free silver advocate, and has been for many years, He strongly endorses the course of: Charles A, Towne, and re- cently joined the chairmen of the Democratic and Pupulist county com- mittees in sending a congratulatory telegram to the Sixth district con- gressmanon his bold stand for bi- metallism, And now comes another prominent member of the Republican committee why refuses to gulp down the gole Guy pee and McKinley- ism. Judge Frank L. Vance, of Deer River, was in town this week, and many of his former political associates were surprised to hear him talk for Bryan and free silver. In conversa- tion with a Heraid-Review sepre- sentative, Judge Vance said: ‘‘{ was fifty-four years old yesterday, and since I cast. my first vote up to the resent time, it has been straight Republican without a break. ButI am through. ‘he Republican party has been sold to the money changers, and the people have been hetrayed. ‘There’s only one thing left to be done, and that is forthe people to betray the Republican party in return, After all these years of association with the old party, it is hard to be driven out and be compelled to affil- iate with our erstwhile. antagonists, but it is no longer a question of party American independence is at stake.” The outlook, indeed, is none.too en- couraging in Itasca fur our Republi- can friends, Capt. M. A. Leahy, another prominent Republican is a most pronounced freesilverite and he has no sympathy with the idea that it is necessary to get England’s fiat on the money of the United States. * * * The county conventions are soon to be called by both the Republicans and Democrats, and it iS likely that the Populists will get in line about the same time. The local situation is somewhat confusing at the present time, It is expected that out of the Grand Rapids Labor,League will ap- pear many candidates, but what party they will receive nominations from is the question hard toanswer. Ibis koown that nearly nine-tenths of the Leagues membership is for free silver, and it is also known that a big _—_ ws =x Ladies’ Ecru Vests, regu- LLL LL LL LL LL, ES] majority of the boys have heretofore affiliated with the Republican party. The outcome isa little misty, The Republican county committee will hold a meeting today for the purpose of calling the primaries for the county convention. * . * The Democratic county convention will be held this afternoon for the election of delegates to the state con- vention to be held on the 4th at Min- neapolis, for the purpose of nominat- ing a candidate for governor and other state officers. The sentiment here seems to favor the endorsement of John Lind, and resolutions in- structing for him-u *y be passed. Who’s a Liar? “The Herald-Review is nothing if not mendacious.”—Magnet. . That is to say, according to the Magnet, the Herald-Review tells lies. The par- ticular alleged equivocation to which our contemporary refers in this in- spance was contained in the state- ment made in this paper last week regarding the Republican congress- ional platform of this district adopted at Brainerd two years ago. As the Herald-Review reads, it understands that platform to have declared in favor of bimetallism and the free coinage of both gold and silver. In thus construing the language used in that platform, the Magnet insists that we tell lies. The Magnuetsays: If the Herald-Review man will spare the time and look at the platform and read it so he can write intelligently about it, he will find there is not a sentence, paragraph, line or word that can be construed to mean "free silver.” Mr, Towne never would have been nominated on such a platform, What does this mean, Mr. Magnet, or does it mean anything ? Bimetallism is the equal privilege of coin, age at the government mints of th gold and silver, and inasmuch as the party is leged to that achievement, and belleving it be in the interests of the people, we here- by demand the Speedy and certain accom. psnmens of it.—Kepublican Platform,Sixth ngressional District of Minnesoga, 1904, Inasmuch as gold now enjoys free coinage at the government mints of the United States, and inasmuch as the platform on which Mr, Towne was elected demanded the same privis lege for silver, it nec rily follows that free silver was demanded. In the fact of facts like these, coupled with the above-quotation from oir contemporary, The Herald-Review ia constrained to express the opinion that the editor of the Magnet us strong combination of both fool an knave, Use Uncle Sam’s Mail. Agent R. McLennan of the Du- luth & Winnipeg railway, has received notice that letters intended for other railways and corporations than the Duluth & Winnipeg must not be put into the railway mail. They must be sent in the United States mail and have the necessary stamps affixed. This is in line with the postal laws that are framed to prevent an. intry- sion upon the government monopoly of the postal business, They even debar a man from carrying a letter for a friend in one town to q friend in an- other town.unless the postage stamp is affixed, the intention being to keep al} otkers.than the postoffice department from entering upon the business of delivering letters. ‘The law has not been rigorously enforced. Aman hay a freeman’s right to deliver his own letter or have his actual employe deliver it, It 1s the same with a firm or acorporation. The law is either obsolete or does not relate to circulars and other matter that is not first class mail. Some of the railroads continue to handle mail for other lines thay they own, _ f =
