A greater array of choice products than ever before will be found at the Fifth Annual fair of the Itasca County Agricultural society which will be held} here on Wednesday and Thursday, October 7 and 8, ‘The season has been very propitious and even last season’s highly creditable display will be excelled in the quality, quantity | and diversification of the lines ot vege- tables, grains, poultry; dairy, culinary and fancy goods, grasses, seeds and household manufactures. ‘The exhi- bits of live stock will show a great ad- vance in the fair features this year. The premiums offered include the several classes of horses, cattle, sheep and swine, and are bound to attract all who take interest in the merits of thoroughbred stock. ‘The premium list shows a great vanety of articles that will be entitled to prizes. The premium lists are printed and are ob- tainable from the secretary, A. G, | Bernard. — President D. W. Doran, of | the Agncultural society, gives the lists jof superintentents of divisions as_fol- Hlows: A, horses, James McVikar; |B, cattle, George Lydick; C, sheep, swine and poultry, W. V. Fuller; D, farm and garden, Ben Herrig, Jr.; E, dairy and household, M. A. Leahy; F, domestic manufacture and fancy work, Mrs. K. Lent; G, fine arts, Mrs. J. P. O’Donneil; H, fruits and flowers, Mrs. L. F. Knox; superin- tendent of grounds, H.S, Huson. The Duluth & Winnipeg railroad | has agreed to transport all exhibits for |the county fair, from any station on )its line to Grand Rapids, free, and to return the same provided they have not changed ownership. The road will also carry passengers to the fair and return at the rate of one fare for the round trip. It is very desirable that all who will} have articles to exhlbit at the fair ad- vise the secretary soon. Entries can be made at any time before the fair. Certain classes of exhibits can just as well be sent in a day or -more_ before the fair and none should be left until the last minute. The fair will be conducted under the general rules for judging exhibits and of management that have been found most desirable at the state fairs, No intoxicaung beverages and no games of chance will be allowed upon the grounds. - Forage for stock and plenty of water will be furnished free of charge, and those wishing gram can obtain it at first cost. The general exhibits of the fair are | night of Oct. 6. ‘The live stock and farm machinery will be cared for on the convenient grounds adjacent to Village hall. Advices received from various railroads indicate that repre- sentatives of the roads will attend the fair to see the results of northern agri- culture and to look after shipments of | produce for eastern points. Officials ot the Minnesota expenment stations will also be present. to view the pro- jlarger exhibition to be placed at Village hall on the| inch thick upon the sidewalks, one of advantage in various ways to every citizen of the county who at- tends. Invitations are being sent to the state officials and prominent citi- zens of all the contiguous counties. No admission fee will be charged citizens or their friends. The dates set for the fair being a month later than the dates of last year’s county exposition will undoubtedly insure a of products anda still further improvement im attend- ance. Schools Opened. The yonng folks have settled down to regular studies again and the school lists show a considerable increase in attendance as compared with the re- ports of last year. ‘The scholars who were present at the opening last Mon- day numbered as follows: Prof. R. J. Baskerville’s senior class, 14; Miss Lena McCarthy, primary, 49; Miss Hattie Gibson, second grade, 39; Miss Eliza King, third grade, 38; Miss C. Cleveland, fourth grade, 40; Miss Hattie Allen, fifth grade, 42; Miss Brady, sixth grade, 32. ‘Total, 251 scholars, The hygienic condi- tions of Central school were excellent at the opening, and extra care ap- pears to have been taken in this re- gard by custodian Dolph. No better arranged nor more comfortable school building can be found in the country, and even little children take pleasure in pursuing their studies under such favorable conditions. A spirit of friendship seems to prevail between the scholars and their teachers which will undouvtedly add greatly to the good results of the school work. Converted to Bimetailism. Among those who have wrestled unsuccessfully with the broad bi- metallic views of Daniel W. Doran, was Dr. J. R, Howes, who tackled the proprietor of the Hotel Gladstone ‘Thursday evening about 8 o’clock with a view of making a convert to the gold standard theory, and instead, found, shortly after midnight, that Mr, Doran, had converted him to the free coinage of both gold and silver in the currency of the nation. openly admitted his defeat to Mr. Doran, and he may now be found numbered with the believers in silver and gold bimetallism. A Trifle of Frost. There was quite a hard frost last night. It was the first frost of the season and made some of the boys wear their mits this morning. The showers of . yesterday afternoon and last evening leit enough moisture on the ground so that the cooler temper- ature of the night froze it into a glaz- ing of icezone eighth to a quarter of an The; milder effects of Indian summer are still to be experienced, however, dur- ing the next few weeks when, with the usual program of autumn, some of the finest weather of the season will | prevail. There may be one or two | ilurries of snow and it will be well to have heavier clothing at hand for the cool days but the autumnal season will not close until the last week in October when the first regular “snow- gress here and the gathering will be * storm of the season may be expected. | WHITNEY AND GUNN. The Republicans of the Fifty-third District Make Legislative Nominations. The Republican legislative conven- tion for this district transacted business at Carlton Tuesday, and, as predicted in these columns heretofore, George A. Whitney, of Wadena, was unani- mously nominated for the senate, and Hon. D. M. Gunn, of Grand. Rapids, was renominated as the member for the !oose. The proceedings were very harmonious and a threatened disturbance from Aitkin, aided by one or two from Carlton county; Was averted by the superior number of delegates favorable to Whitney and Gunn. Inasmuch as it has been the custom in this district, with one ex- ception, to elect Republican law- makers, the nominees no doubt feel that their chances for success are quite promising. Upon Mr, Gunn’s return home Tuesday evening he was met at the train by the Grand Rapids brass band and a large delegation of citizens and his reception was very cordial, Dan. Gunn is a good citizen and as a representative from this dis- trict he made a very creditable record two years ago—and his renomination indicates that he proved sa ctory from a partisan standpoint. Mr. Whitney is not much known through- out the district outside of Wadena county, but itis said that he has had legislative ambitions every since he arrived from “down east” and there- fore it is safe to presume that he will hustle around and get acquainted with the boys. The Democratic convention ‘for the nomination of legislative candidates will be held at Aitkin on September 2g. At the same time and place the Republican bi-metallic forces will convene and co-operate with the Democrats in the selection of a win- ning ucket. This 1s an unusual year in politics, and especially in the Sixth congressional district. There is no longer any doubt of Towne’s election Dr. Howes {to congress, and if the Democrats se- lect two Strong men for the legislature they will be endorsed by the same vote that will elect Towne. Hon. H. H, Hawkins of Carlton county might have had the nomina- tion for the senate, but has declined to permit the use of his name im that connection. Hon, T. R. Foley, who defeated one of the best citizens in ‘the district and a strong man political- ly, six years ago—W. RK, Baumbach— is being urged by a great many ad- mircis to accept the nomination. Hon, J, M, Markham, a strong free silver advocate, is also numerously {mentioned in connection with the senatorial nomination, Our Artist in Oil. The campaign portraits that have been painted during the past week or two by Ff. E. Richardson emphasize the fact that “Dick,” as he 1s familiar- ly called, is an artist of considerable ability and only needs the opportu- inities to let his talents shine. His likenessess of W. J. Bryan and Wil- liam McKinley are excellent and the |hatter is hung in a good light in the Hotel Pokegama. The Bryan por- trait has just received its finishing touches at the hands of Artist Rich- ardson and will be placed in a con- spicuous location. His work on cam- paign banners, transparencies and other political pointers has kept him very busy lately and he is doing it in very neat and metropolitan style. Plenty of Candidates. Whether it is because of Wade i Blaker’s immense popularity or be- / cause of the desirability of the offic: that so many good citizens would like! ¥ to serve Itasca county as clerk of ~¢ court, is an open question. In either event the position is coveted by four candidates who will hustle for votes from now until the third of Novem- ber. P. H. Varley and Wade Blaker, the Democratic and Republican nomi- nees respectively, each have an inde- pendent running mate—George Cox having fued a petition with the re- quired number of signatures and I. D. Rassmussen will make the run as an independent Republican together with the Populist indorsement. Swan River Logging. M. J. Hogan came up from Swan River T! hursday evening having fin- ished scaling the logs at the hoister of the Swan River Logging company. The total number of pieces handled this season:was 150,000. The com- pany has two camps running, in charge of Foremen Woods and Smith. They have been loading about eighty cars per day, but will now average about forty-eight cars daily. Two more camps may be started in the near future, Happiness at Home. Rev. Charles A. Campbell and wife returned from their bridal tour Mon- day evening, and immediately made their home at the Presbyterian par- sonage which had been remodeled and comfortably furmshed for them. The ladies had supplied the kitchen with new utensils during the absence of the bide and groom and had a pleasing supper ready for their return, The occasion was one of friendly en- joyment for all concerned, The happy pair had bright weather for their trip and particularly enjoyed their visits to Niagara Falls and Toronto. To Teach Great Truths, The Paulist Fathers, of New York, will participate in tie religious cele- brations at St. Joseph’s Catholic church tomorrow, and will deliver their lectures there every evening throughout the week. Rev. Father Gamache has taken great interest mn having these able and devoted teach- ers appear in his parish, and there is every indication that they will be re- ceived with earnest attention and in- terest. A general invitation to attend is extended to all. Al Dixon, of Minn for H, F. Brown, arti and has gone up to the camp. William Buchanan is expected this evening and will begin para~ tions next week oy the _ winters eciainenencecnsntiett
