All of:-the musicians have returned from their trips. it is quite evident that railway ex- tensions will not go forward in this section until next season and then the work most likely to be done first isthe proposed branch to the Buckeye and} Pramond iron mining district. From ‘the standpoint of law and! order the:conventions have passed off very quietly and pleasantly. No fistie scraps have caused rackets on the pub; lc streets and in the closing scenes a! the boys are joining in the free silver chorus, 4 J. F. Whiting, of Chicago, came here this week just. to look around a little. He found such ample oppor- tunities for enjoyment that he decided to remain for a month or two, so he sent home for his hunting outfit and will join the colony of Itasca county Nimrods. Among the prominent visitors here Monday were David O. Anderson, of the Carlton Vidette and his father, J. L. Anderson, a G. A. R. comrade of Fauiklen, N. D. They went out and looked over the Vidette editor’s prop- erty at the Prairie river bridge. The Ehle & Russell hospital has added a set of perambulating chairs to 1ts comforts for the sick and infirm.

It is not thought to be serious, however, and the probabilities are that he will soon be on the road to completely regain his health. A. H. Dorman, the boat builder, commenting on the Jenson shooting, said: ‘I understand there has been some very careless handhng of fire arms by these children at Lake Pokegama, The Jenson boy was fooling with an old revolver a short time ago and accidently shot off the toe of his shoe. To let such kids handle a shot gun is a great mistake. We canoot be too careful how we let children play with fire arms.” The clerk of the weather admin- istered chilly winds and frowning skies during most of the week, but then, the genial presence and de- bonaire smile of Eugene Brown ir- radiated our streets last Thursday, and the frigid weather was forgotten. Mr. Brown is the timber inspector for the Northern Pacific, which company he says has made no changes in prices of its lands since its reorgani- zation, although the reappraisement of the properties has been made. The swan-like yacht of lake Po- kegama, of which A. H. Dorman is the skillful commander, has given the campers and visitors at the’lake a great deal of pleasure this season. He built the handsome craft last sprng and it would be hard to find her equal in speed and beauty on any of these northern waters. If he succeeds in closing a sale of the boat, which has been contemplating, he will build some more for the surrounding lakes He has the matenals and is “onto his job” in putting up safe and speedy boats. HOME AGAIN. Representatives of the Agricultural Society ‘are Back From the State Fair. | John Eeckfelt returned from the | Twin Cities Monday, and D, W.| Doran arrived here Tuesday. As members of the committee in charge of the Itasca county exhibit at the state fair they are enthusiastic in their views of the benefits which the county is likely to derive trom the work done hy the agricultural society in sending the exhibit, While at the fair the were overwhelmed with questions of every conceivable nature from repre- Union. -It was an evidence to these committeemen that a great migratory movement is rapidly developing, par- ticularly in the eastern and central states, and that much interest is mani- fested by the wouid-be settlers con- cerning the opportunities that are available in northern Minnesota. In some cases the impression had pre- vailed that the good, cheap lands and government claims of this north- ern district had all been disposed of and: the committee took pains to show the error of this supposition, which grew largely from tlie fact that settlers went on past these timbered districts during the times when Dakota receiv- ed such an influx of settlers. The vegetables, grains and other products shown by the northern Minnesota counties were sufficient to, almost alone, settle all questions as to the capabilities of the northern’ soils but people wanted to know if there were schools up here and what lines of goods the stores carried, and many lesser points upon which enlighten- ment seemed to be desired. The committee had a busy time of it by reason of the great crowds of visitors from all directions that gathered on account of the grand events held at the ‘Twin Cities during fair week. Of the eight awards, Itasca county received the fifth prize, the distribu- tion of the $700 premium being made as follows: Mille Lacs, $129.63; Stevens, $112.47; Lac Qui Parle, $105.63; ‘Traverse, $96.21; Itasca, $77.98; Pope, $76.22; Morrison, $60.94; St. Louis, $40.96. The rep- resentatives of Mille Lacs county ad- mitted that fuliy $600 in cash had been used in the preparation of their exhibit, while none of the other counties had been able to put as much money as that into the efforts to make their showings. Secretary Ber- nard, of the committe, returned Thursday. SHOT IN THE FACE. Accident to a Child who was Scaring Crows From a Corn Field. The discharge of a gun peppered the face of Goldie Jensen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, L. L, Jensen, at their Lake Pokegama farm Tuesday after- noon. Her brother, Willie, had an old shot gun with which he was shoot- ing at’ the. crows in the:r cornfield while Goldie was engaged in scaring up the birds. In the excitement of the work, Willie accidently dis- charged the gun in the direction of the little girl and she quit scaring crows with about a dozen number io shot in her countenance. She was cared for at home, the wounds seem- ing not to cause her much pain at first, but on Wednesday it was found advisable to call Dr. Russell, who picked out the shot and concluded that the patient will soon recover. The Pablic Schools. Prof. R. J. Baskerville went to Du- luth this morning and will return this evening in time to open thé public school work Monday morning, begin- ning at nine o’clock in all the classes except the senior class which will be- gin at_ 10 o’clock. His testimonials from Duluih, where he was principal of the Whittier school and elsewhere, during six years experience in teach- ing, are of a high order and indicate that he is eminently well fitted for his position as prncipal of the Grand Rapids schools. He will take charge of the senior class person: ‘The teachers of the other classes at the Central school are: s brady, Hattie Allin, C. Clev Eliza King, Hattie Gibson, Lena Mc- Carthy. ‘Ihe work of regrading the entire school list will proceed just as soon as the examinations have been made. Prof. Baskerville received a handsome present Thursday from pu- pils of lus recent charge, the Whittier school of Duluth. It consists of a gold mounted pen and pencil holder encased in leather and accompanied by pleasant letters from his tormer pupils. The gitt speaks highly of the esteem in which he was held by all. HIS PRUE VIEWS. How Senator Davis Lauded the Benefits of Silver Coinage. “Now, fellow citizens, to business matters. The Jast congress probably passed more important legislation than any congress since the year 1792, except the congress during which we began the war. We passed the silver iN. Thatinstrumentality of tinance, that right arm of every monetary sys- tem which has existed in efficacy through all the ages since and before the time when Abraham paid 300 shekels of silver for the Gave in which to bury his dead, that great function of civilization was restored and made legal tender, and from the moment it was poured into the veias of circulation, prices increased, a universal sense of 1 perity, which I assure you, my fellow citizens, we do not begin to appreciate, even in its beginning. We raised it from its dis- credited and disturbed condition, and we gave as money the purchasing power of gold. The price of silver be- fore the bill was passed was 92 cents, and $1.20 after the bill was passed, the nominal price being $1.29. And what followed immediately upon the sentatives of every portion of the | throughout, the country on passage of that vill? Prices rose ‘room will assemble at 10 a, m. cereals, on corn and barley. That work for the farmer was done by the Republican party. I tell you, gentle- men, that the passage of that Sven bill was ten thousand times more beneficial to the feople in Minnesota ;and the Union than any tariff bill your reformers could possibly devise.”’ | ¢ NOMINATIONS © MADE Continued From Page 1. his name and the result was indeed most gratifying to Mr. Toole and his friends, ‘This double endorsement insures his reelection beyond _ per- adventure of a doubt. REGISTER OF DEEDS. That old Democratic war horse, Charles Kearney, who has filled the office of register of deeds dur- ing the past six years nearly --ever since the county was organized —was nominated on Thursday by his party. and will make the race this fall with A. B. Clare as his Republican opponent. COUNTY ATTORNEY. There was but one name mention- ed in the convention for the office of county attorney—that of Frank F. Price—T. M. Brady having withdrawn after being persuaded that his chances were “nit.” Mr. Price was also nomi- nated’ by . acclamation, His well known ability as an attorney, his ex- tensive acquaintance, obtained through a large practice in the coun- ty, all combine to make him a_ sure winner at the pol!s on the 3rd of Nov- ember, and Itasca county will have a prosecuting attorney of which she may well feel proud and at the same time feel safe in knowing ‘that her interests will be jealously guarded at all times, JUDGE OF PROBATE. The names of T. M. Brady and E. C. Kiley were placed before the con- vention.and a vote resulted in favor.of Kiley, standing 32 to 16, Eugene A. Arnold, of Laprairie, is the gentleman selected by the Republicans with which to defeat the editor of the Herald-Review. SURVEYOR. Frank Smith ought to consider himself a mighty popular gentleman among his party friends, because he was their unanimous choice for the important office of county surveyor. He is known by nearly every resident af the county and he 1s the friend of every acquaintance. CORONER. Dr. Thomas Russell was nominated over Dr. Charles M. Storch, Dr.,Ros- ser and Dr. Putney for county coroner. Dr. Russeli’s Democratic friends should now see to it that his support be undivided and that he be made a victor in November next over his professional associate, Dr. Ehle, who is the Republican nominec. CLERK OF COURT. P. H. Varley was more fortunate than his opponents in the Republican convention. He had no opposition and was unanimously nominated for clerk of court. Having served two terms as deputy sheriff, he is as well known as any man in the county and will make a:vigorous campaign. The gentlemen who will be pitted against him will find no, “easy mark.” COUNTY COMMISSIONER. The party madé ne worthier nomi nation than that of A.E.Wilder for the fice of county commissioner from the ynd district. He .is eminently fitted for that important position and when ie is elected, which we predict he will be, he will serve the pgople in a manner entirely satisfactory and for the general best interest of the eptire county, SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOCIS.“ * Without any consideration of party the Democrats paid a very’. flattering compliment to Mrs. O. HaStilson,, the present superintendent of county | schools. Mrs. Stilson has filed -the office im the past with signal ability and her unanimous endorsement was a ‘just recognition of her eminent services. Having been endorsed by the Republicans, she will be unani- mously elect.d. : COURT COMMISSIONER. The last office on the list, that of court commissioner, was tendered to Judge T. M. Brady. There were forty-eight delegates present at the Democratic county con- | vention, every precinct being repre- | sented except Bass Lake, Quadanaw, Hartley Lake and Decker. It is con- ceded by all that the ticket nominated on Thursday is one of unusual strength, and if every man will work for the success 6f the nominees, ther2 can be no doubt of its election at the polis next November. In the next issue of the Heraid- Review, a more extended write-up will be given of the candidates nonn- nated, and a brief biography of each will be printed in these columns, Reopening of Schools. The Grand Rapids Central schocl SHIP BUILDING Sail or Row Boats REMEMBER ALSO, Grand Rapids, - Is not exactly in our line, but we can construct almost anything in the way of that mechanical skill and first-class material is capable of producing. A great many boats are now in service on the beautiful lakes around Grand Rapids which were built by us and they give the best possible satisfaction.
