The fate of many an Itasca county next few days, On Thursday the Democratic convention will be held for the nomination of county officers. Friday is the time designated by the Republicans to perform a similar duty, and on Saturday the Populists will Before all three conven- tions there will be no end of aspirants t |for the several offices, * * * The Democrats and populists are not threatened with any serious erup- tions in their respective conventions, while our Republican friends are more or less disturbed as to the out- come. The Labor League did not develop nearly as much strength at the late primaries as was expected, and consequently they were complete- In consequence of which, it is said, there now exists no end of internal strife among opposing factions of that organization. Even the Labor Day celebration has been interfered with through dissention, and the event promises to be a fail- ure, John J. Ryder, a gold Demo- crat, now inthe employ of the Repub- lican state central committee, who will speak at Village hall this evening, had been engaged to deliver a labor address on Monday next to the as- sembled Leaguers. Many _ promi- nent members strongly objected to this arrangnment, and the success of the celebration is seriously threatened. These conditions may have no small influence on the framing of county tickets, zoe George Cox announces in this issue of the iferald-Review that he will be} an independent candidate for the office of clerk of court, and in a very honor- able way he withdraws from any par- ticipation in the Democratic conven- tion to which he had been elected as a delegate. Mr. Cox has many friends throughout the county who believe that his chances of election are about equal to any who may be nominated. His competency is gen- erally recognized and if he should be the choice of the people, the duties of the office would be well performed. It is said that F. A. King’s name will be presented to the Democratic con- vention for consideration in counec- tion with the office ot clerk of court, and P. H, Varley expects to be nomi- nated for that office by the same party. | ee) As outlined in these columns _here- tofore, it is pretty generally known who the nominees will be of both the Democratic and Republican _ parties, but just what the Populists will do is rather difficult to predict. Sheriff M. L. Toole hasa “cinch” on renomina- tion next Thursday by the Demo- crats and it is equally certain that he will be endorsed the day follow- ing by the Republicans. Attorney his Democratic friends, and Frank F. Price will be nominated by it now looks as though C. i Pratt wiil be the choice of the Republicans for county attorney. A SAD SUMMONS. Death of ‘John B. Bechtold, a Genial Pioneer of This Section. John B. Bechtold has made his final trial balance and has passed to the farther shore of death’s dark river. He was stricken with heart failure aud died suddenly Wednesday morning at Hibbing, where he has-held a respgns- ible position in the Itasca Mercantile company’s large establishment since his departure from here about a year ago. Previous to that he had put in a long and valued service at the Wells- Stone Mercantile company’s store at Lapraurie, and had also been largely interested in the saw mill near the mouth of Prairie rivery Mr. Bechtold was a native of NeW Jersey and had in his youth opportunities for study and travel by which he gained an excellent knowledge of business and general affairs. He expenenced the vicissitudes-of mercantile life, and his ehdowments gained him a position as traveling agent for the Wells-Stone Mercantile company when he reached Duluth in the latter part of the eight- ies. He was an excellent salesman, and after six years on the road the company placed him in the establish- ment at Laprairie, which then prom- ised to develop into a large business. Mr. Bechtold maintained the respect and good will of all during his busi- ness experience, and his death: will, at the early age of but fifty-five years, be regretted on all sides. His fund of anecdote and _ historic recollection was indeed remarkable and many of the pleasant stories that he used to tell will linger long in the memory of those who knew him. He was a widower, his family consisting of two sons, one engaged in a bank:in New York and another in a bank in New Jersey. ‘The remains were em- balmed at Hibbing, pending the ar- rangements for the funeral. Mr. Bechtold was a prominent Sir Knight ot the Pythian order. He was a charter member in the organiza- tion of the Forest City lodge at Hib- bing, which was duly installed by Waubana lodge of this place. Upon hearing the sad news Waubana_ lodge telegraphed, offermg its services if necessary. The reply showed that appropriate services would be held yesterday morning at 10 o’clock at Hibbing, from which place the re- mains were forwarded yesterday to the friends of the deceased in New York.

Among. the complimentary notices which Itasca county is receiving for the display made at the state fair under the direction of the committee, the following is taken from the St. Paul Globe: ‘Itasca has placed an exhibit which cannot fail to attract attention. ‘The arrangement 1s’ at- tractive and the products many and varied. The forestry exhibit 1s es- pecially good, while grains and grasses !of marvelous growth abound. The watermelons, squashes and vegetables are among the fine specimers in the building, and a birch bark canoe, banked with wheat and oats in the | shock, is a symbolic ornament which | prgitily furnishes a splendid showing.” pri: Pioneer Press says: “Itasca county is right to the front with a large exhibit, presided over by A. G, Bernard, D. W. Doran and N. Wash- burn. ‘These gentlemen allow that they are after the first prize also, and they have an excellent assortment of vegetables, grains and grasses to war- rant ‘them in so declaring. This county is only six years old and is 200 miles north of Pope county. A fea- ture of the exhibit is a birch bark canoe, decked out in grasses and grain. Hon. Charles A. Towne Coming. M. S. Hays, Hon, Charles A. Towne’s private secretary, 1n a letter to Mr. F. A. King, says: “It is about decided that Mr. Towne will visit Grand Rapids next week or the first of the following week. Things con- tinue to look well and all we need is good, earnest work everywhere in the district.” The Wolf Murder. Assistant County Attorney Mc- Pherrin returned Monday afternoon from the range where he had been investigating the murder of the man found dead near Wolf. In regard to the details of the murder Mr. Mc- Pherrin has little to say. The name of the murdered man was John Nel- son. He was a woodsman and miner, and had been employed on the range for some time. He was unmarried. The body was found about ten days after the murder was committed, and was ina horrible condition, but the indications were plain that the death had been caused by a blow with an ax, and that it could not possibly have been a case of suicide. Two weeks ago last Tuesday Nelson was seen at one town and the following day at another. This was the last seen of him. His movements were carefully traced and the authorities are confident that they will be able to make from the evidence they already have, a sufficient case to warrant ar- rests within a short time.—Duluth Herald. Tonight at Deer River. The people of Deer River will be treated to an address by Z. H. Austin, candid and well infgrmed expenent of bimetallism, who will appear at the terminal town this evening at 8:30 p.m. Mr. Austin’s long residence in Du- luth and his familiarity with the honesty and justice of the movements of Hon. Charles A’ Towne, make his address one which will be heard with unflagging interest. . | culture. BIMETALLIC PRINCIPLES. To be Clearly Presented at Village Hall Monday Evening by Z. H. Austin. A meeting of unusual interest will be held Monday evening at 8 o’clock in Village hall, where Z. H. Austin will unfold the true and progressive principles or bimetallism in finance. Mr. Austin’s friendly associations with Hon. C. A. Towne make him special- ly well fitted to voice the sentiments and to discuss the facts that attend the onward movement of bimetallism in the welfare of the nation. He is a candid and earnest portrayer of those , truths that every citizen of the repub- lic delights to have presented, That a large and appreciative audience will welcome Mr. Austin, is assured, and there 1s every indication that he will take back with him to his Duluth home a pleasing recollection of the interest and enthusiasm that is ever present among the bimetallic forces of Itasca county’s capital, ATTRACTIVE IMPROVEMENTS At the Experiment Farm---The Work to be Finished in Sixty Days. With the improvements which are to proceed immediately upon the buildings at the Northeastern Minne- sota experiment station a great change* in the facilities of that institution will be accomplished. The superintend- ent’s residence will be two stories high and will occupy a ground area of about 7oxgo feet. The architect’s plans show that it will be quite an at- tractive structure. The other im- provements will he carried forward on the same scale, and it is expected that the work will be finished by Nov. 1. The contract has been let to J. S. Lofberg and:Lee Cudney. Mr. Lof- berg returned from the Twin Cities Thursday and has decided to bring his family here and become a resident of the county capital. The operations of the farm have been very successful this season under the management of Supt. W. W. Pendergast. Although the crops were. + planted late they grew remarkably __ fast and most of them have reacned full maturity. This rapid growth is the surprising feature to those-un- acquainted with northern agriculture. | ‘The vegetables; as evidenced by the ~ specimens sent to the state fair, are” of extra size and choice quality, ahd the results of the experiments in grain raising have been surprisingly’ fihe. In making its’ exhibit at ‘the forth- coming county tair, theinstitution will give proofs mainly of its success ‘in «- expenmental work, leaving to ‘the farmers and gardeners mostly the work of competition for prizes in the-” well established departments of agri The number of visitors who. have been at the institution this sea- son has been much larger than had, been expected and they have proved that a general and earnest interest ‘in its work is being felt among the farm: ing elements of Itasca county, a neaataseajepnsnsiininindietdidm nanan 1 j { i | j | —— — S —+ }
