Pokegama supper, pro- ceeded to the courthouse which was well filled with people, a goodly num- ber of ladies being in the audience, and delivered his address upon the doctrines of the gold standard. His occasional witticisms provoked a share of laughter and applause. He spent considerable time in urging hii claims that falling prices have been caused mainly by inventions, im- provements and increased supplies. He did not see tit to put in overtime and put the brakes on his speech when ten o’¢lock arri ved. TO ENTERTAIN THE PUBLIC. A Valuable Addition to the School Work is Under Way. A literary society has been formed by the scholars of Central school and preparations are being made to give monthly entertainments, cons class and individual exercises of the school room, together with special atures that are of general interest such as debates, chorus singing in two and four parts, calesthenics and dumbeli exercises. The friends of the scholars will be invited to these public exhibitions and all will have the »op- portunity to see the benefits of the new movement. It has the sanction and support of Prof. Baskerville who has expressed his willingness to gsve his'time and attention to this addition to the training of the scholars. He beheves that the society will be of permanent value in developing talents that would not be realized without such aid. The entertainments are to be free to all. Since the scholars have entered upon their fire drill they have insprov- ed greatly in this department. At the first drill they cleared Central school of all pupils in regular order, in three minutes. Each one took along his or her wraps or belongings. The time is being reduced by practice. Prof. Baskerviile secured some specimens for the school musium dunng his recent trip to the Winn:bigoshish dam It promises to make a fine collection of Indian archeology and natural his- tory. A meeting of the committee on counstitution and by-laws of the literary society was held y sterday. There were present Misses C. Cleve- land, Agnes Whalen, Addie Chisholm and Charles King and Alfred Kiley, ‘Phe articles were read and adopted, and the committee on colors made selections which will be reported at the regular meeting of the society. A school paper has been started, of which Alfred Kiley was chosen editor. It will consist of manu- script articles which will be edited and read at stated intervals.-The senior class debating society met yesterday. Will O'Donnell was chairman and Alwin Kremer secretary. It will meet again on Tuesday. An Inmbeciie Seeretary. The fact that the official list of pre- miums awarded at the county fair does not appear in today’s Herald- Review 1s through no fault of the editor. Strange as it may appear the secretary, A. G. Bernard, more familiarly known as the Moose, refused to surrender a list of awards, withold- ing the same for publication in his own paper. If the association will tolerate. such narrow minded conduct and make it possible to prevent, rather than encourage’ the most substantial advertisment the county can get, then jaind it is tim i have the real inte: nity at heart, to see that speedily made. Such a cow be expected from the .pin-headed 1m- becile who acts as secretary, but it occurs to the Herald-Review that the | members of the fair association should j | bestir themselves to put the affairs of such a public enterprise into the management of men who would be actuated with motives beyond that of personal aggrandizement and profit. Expert Dressmaking.

Specimens of the various kinds of timber obtainable here, like those sent to the state fair, would not be out of place and would remind strangers of the industrial backione of the northern woodlands, In the department of manufactures W. B. Holman exhibited a case of fine, fancy boots and shoes, which readily took first prize as it would be difficult to excel the workmanship anywhere. They were all made by him mm Grand Rapids. The most noticeable articles of his exhibit were one pair of Wellington dress boots made of porpoise hide and calf skin, one pair of Kangaroo fine shoes and one pair of fine calf skin shoes, with leopard uppers. These were all men’s goods and he showed his ability to ‘produce choice work 1m any depart- ment of his line tor men and ladies | wear. | William Weitzel made a handsome | display of buckskin .and moose hide gloves, mittens and moccasins and of the Itasca county skins from which the genuine articles are made. He received first prize on these Itasca county manufactures and upon his specimens of taxadermy in which the fawn, fisher and mink attracted special ttention. “In the taxidermy department Mrs. T. E. McDonald’s specimen of a young great horned owl secured first prize and her loon, chicken hawk, golden plover. cat bird, wax bird and king bird showed the skill of the artist in their life hke beauty. ‘The arts, ladies’ fancy work depart- ment attracted much attention although they were not as extensive as last year probably on account of. reduced premiums, Some very beau- tiful articles for home and_ personal adornment were displayed and the oil pantngs, plaques and hand painted china were of artistic finish. ihe names of the numerous: prize winners will appear in the premium list. including .those who won the laurels in an_ extensive collection of culinary and household products. Artist Richardson’s oil portraits of political candidates were true to life and Photographer Crandall had a very handsome collection of his work on exhibition. On the ground ftoor of the Village hall the poultry pleased the sightseers. The coops were tull of fancy towls and their owners . had good reason to be proud of their display, Among the bigh bred spring chickens were four that looked as large and and plump as" most of the full grown fowls.” They were the Silver Laced Wyandottes on which Hon. D, M. Gunn took first prize, N, Washburn, the Troutlake agriculturalist, took first prize on En- glish Red Caps,White Crescent, Black Polish, American Dominiques, and Silver Laced Hamburgs and second prize on Plymouth Rocks. He took first prize on Pekin ducks and on pigeons. Drs. Ehle and Russel took first prize on Plymouth Rocks and Leghorns and second prize on Wyan- dottes. George Lothrop took first prize on light Bramahs and white Ply- mouth Rocks and_ second, ‘on Silver Laced Wyandottes. There were sev- eral other prominent prize winners. In the line of live stock Judge Huson won first prize on pigs with three fancy Poland China-Berkshires that were only four weeks old but large enough to require a large box for their comfort. Neither. cattle, horses nor sheep were placed on ex- hibition and some of the farmers: who expressed surprise at this, 7 | | S| county inits genera They expressed at ith what they saw a learned. Many friendships were renewed and the bringing together of so many, people caused a more extended acquaintance with each other. -At three o’clock.on Thursday after- noon addresses were in order and the assemblage listened with marked at-/ tention, Rev.

The state fair gave ample proof of j the abundance of Northern Minne- sota’s products. and Itasca county was well advanced in the showing there. Its~ exhibits were far above years go.

How can anyone starve with all uf this abundance in sight? However the pohtical parties may decide their questions, the people of this section of the country will, at least, have enough to live upon. At the close of Father Gamache’s adress, Secretary Bernard delivered a few remarks upon the growth of the county fuir and predicted that the annual show will soon require a build- ing three times as large as Village hall to accommodate it. He saidut was probable that the railroad people would send a special exhibit from this district to the state fair next year, and asked the farmers to bear it in mind and to give more assistance than ever im preparing an exhibit that shall be fully representative of Itasca county’s abundant resources. ‘Lhe fine weather contributed great- ly to the success of the fair The closing on Thursday evening resolved itself into a general handshaking, with mutual hopes of meeting again fre- quently expressed, It was surprising how quickly the vegetables and other articles of the displays. disappeared. Some of the pies and cakes were sam- pled by the young folks, and the evi-. dences of the event were soon dis- posed of in various ways.
