TEESOSASS A SAD SUICIDE. Despondeney Over Family Affairs Makes a Man Brave Death. In the death of George R. Brennan last Sunday night there was much to surprise his numerous friends both here and on the upper Mississippi, where his farm is located a short dis- tance above the mouth of Vermillion creek, Harry Hazelton had been vis- iting at the Vermillion and was re- quested Monday morning by Jeff Stewart to send the coroner up to see about the case. Mr. Hazelton notifi- ed Coroner Ehle who went up at once and found every evidence that the de- ceased had committed suicide by shoot- ing himself just below the heart. His death must have been instantaneous. He found that an inquest was not necessary and permitted the remains to be brought here where the funeral services were conducted at Richaru- son’s undertaking establishment Thurs- day afternoon at 2 o’clock under the auspices of the masonic fraternity of which order he was a member at his former home, Milltown, Maine. He had visited the lodge here. The re- mains were laid to restin the new cemetary. Early last Saturday evening Mr. Brennan had visited his neighbor W, O. Harrison and had told him, dur- ing the visit, and James Hayward that he would not be alive to vote next election day, They passed it off as a careless remark but it appears that he had been grieving over the refusal of his wlfe to come from Main to his new farm and tiad determined upon ending his life. Dave Estabrook and } James Hayward slept in the Brennan house and about an hour after they had retired for the mght they were startled by the report ofa gun fand soon tound that no effort of theirs could bring him back to life. He was about 55 years of age, First Sheep in Itasca County. George Moore has returned to Cohasset from his two week’s business trip to North Dakota. He brought back with him seven sheep, seven hogs, eight horses and a bull calf. Thelatter weighs 1700 pounds,an | isa pure bred short horn. He was bred by Thomas Taylor of Inkster, who named him Roy. The sheep are Cotswolds and South Downs, the first ever brought into Itasca county, for breeding purposes. Mr. Moore has determined to use some of his fine pasture lands next season in a further development of the live stock indus- try and he says it will be no experi-} ment, for he is satisfied that it is a! safe investment. He will start his Cohasset mill Monday, and saw somé lumber for the government and other bills. Should be Satisfied, Grand Rapids should have no kick coming. Got beth nominees for rep- resentative, and is bound to be right on top no matter which wins, We The Shrievalty. No man in Itagea county has more personal friends than Sheriff M. L. Toole and no candidate for office in this or any other county is more de- serving of endorsement than he. That Mr. Toole has served Itasca two terms as sheriff is no argument against his present candidacy. On the contrary the able and impartial performance of the duties~of that of- fice is the best pessible reason why he should be re-elected. The same principle and consideration should ap- ply to the able and conscientious pub- lic officer that prevails among private employers. The man who renders satisfactory service to a corporation or company is never discharged be- cause some other fellow is out of a job and needs work, and the employer who would pursue such a course would be very apt to retire from the employ- ing business, M. L. Toole is an ideal officer, a citizen of which Itasca coun- ty may well be proud, while his hon- or asa man and his friendship is as true as steele. Having received the well-earned honor of an endorsement by both the Democratic and Republi- can parties he should receive a tull vote on the 3rd day of November. Stirred the Animal Up. The pen picture of the Magnet Moose which appeared in this paper last week evidently had a bad effect onthe animal, and as a result he roared like a mad bull with a corres- ponding display of intelligence. Just because the Herald-Review explained that an unpaid board bill exercised a double influence in the case of the Moose relative to our legislative nomi- Inees, he flew off the handle and -:ays something. conceruing the editor hereof, that, if trans- |Jated into intelugible English, we ven- ture to predict would be a scathing re- buke and a terrible denunciation. Our Volapuk editor has so far pro- gressed in the translation as to report that we have been stigmatized as a “pusillanimity,” an “exemplified,” a “diatribe,” a “malicious,” a “menda- cious,” a “vindictive,” a prototype” and a “Judas.” When the whole “pusiilanimity” has been translated and dressed up in intelligent English it will be reproduced 1n these columns. In the meantime it should not be forgotten that the board bill 1s daily increasing in proportions. A New Teacher. Prof. Baskerville has found it neces- sary to open the last vacant room in Central school and it wiil be occupied by Monday. Mr. C. P. Murphy of Duluth, has been eng» ged as_teacher. Some of the classes nad becoiue so overcrowded that it became necessary to form the new class and the addition of another thoroughly experienced male teacher will undoubtedty be well received by all. The school bo ri gave the matter careful consideration and selected Mr. Murphy on account of his general fitness for the grade to which he is allotted and they have high testmonials concerning his ability and worthiness. are inclined to believe that Dan Doran will be the man.—Carlton Vidette. Congressman Shafroth’s Address. ‘There was a glad welcome to Con- gressman J. F. Shafroth when he arnved here Monday night and the parade in which he marched with the silver forces was the largest and most enthusiastic of the processions that have been formed here during this campaign. It made a long march through the principal streets and ter- minated at Village hall which was filled to overflowing to hear the dis- tinguished speaker. On being intro- duced by Attorney Frank F. Price Mr, Shafroth proceeded with his address occupying nearly two hours during which his hearers listened with pleasure and gays frequent demonstra- tions of their approval by enthusiastic applause. His clear, forciable and convincing arguments were account d the most etfective that have been heard here during the campaign. His voice and manner were pleasant and inspir- ing and all who heard his seemed to have been perfectly willing to have nad him extend Ins remarks. In fact, insted of concluding at the usual time, a call to “go a head” led him to extend his speech somewhat for which the audience showed due appreation, Congressman Shaforth went to Duluth ‘Tuesday and spoke there at the grand recepuon tendered to the favorite presidential candidate, William J. Bryan, Sent to Illinois. Emil Litchke, our enterprising har- nessmaker, has sent a large collection of products, selected from the exhibits at the county fair, to his sister-in- law, who has expressed a_ willingness to exhibit them in the postoffice, of which she is postmistress, at Burnt Prairie, Ills. Itis a thriving town in a thickly settled country, and there 1s no doubt but that such an exhibition will arouse the immigration tenden- cies of the Illionois agriculturalists. The Bow String Hunters. A cedar boat which has been the talk and work of T. H, Hennessy for weeks wascompleted Monday and she proved to be a handsome little craft, just light enough to portage easily. She looked a trifle coquetteish, how- ever in her dress of vermillion and var- nish. The boat and supplies were taken to Deer River Tuesday evening by the hunting party, namely, Frank J. Murphy, F. J, Mc.Cormick, Rev. Fr.Gamach ani T.H. Hennessy. They went up ta the Bow String country. Their shooting abilities are well known so they had to take along only just ‘enough ammunition to secure the ex- act amount of game which they desire on this trip, Will Entertain the Public. The Experience social will be held on Wednesday evening, Oct. 21, at Village hall. Prominent ladies of Grand Rapids, regardless of sect, profession or political belief, have ar- ranged for this entertainment to raise the small balance due upon the village piano, and their prospects of success are quite promising. A number of the ladies ar: at work e: raing, in var- ‘ious ways, 50 cents apiece, which will; and gentlemen at the entertainment just how they earned each respective half dollar. The affair deserves suc- cess by reason of the great advantage the piano has been to each and every citizen of the community, a$ well as the opportunities for social enjoyment which it will afford. It is also time that the care and attention which the purchase of the piano necessarily caused to fall upon the ladies, shalt now be lifted, tothe end that they may soon be able to apply their good efforts in some other valuable direc- tion. The piano cost about $350, and they have raised by pleasing entertainments and otherwise, all but about $30. On next Wednesday night, let the committee be discharged with all the honor which is due. One lady earned $1.60 from sales where she had only expected 50 cents. Refreshments will be served on Wed- nesday evening and amusements have been provided for in addition to the recitals of experiences. Making Good Time. The carpenters on the building im- provements at the state experiment farm have pushed their work so ef- fectively that the plasterers were able to proceed at the superintendent’s headquarters this week and have nearly finished their part of the work. The painters have also begun to spread colors there and the excellent effects of the architect’s designs are becoming more apparent daily. The contractors, Messrs. Lefberg & Cud- ney, deserve much credit for their quick progress and satisfactory results, Trout Lake Improvements. The residents of the Trout lake dis- trict where the new schoohouse was recently finished are very well satisfied with the building. It is a_pleasin; addition to their neighborhood a) the children are quite as anxious as their purents to have the advantage which the school will give them. F, Christianson, the contractor builder of the schoolhouse made an excellent job of it throughout and the school board accepted it promptly. Mr. Christianson has a fine farm in the Trout lake district and has had great success, in his farming operations and in raising fine live stock. Back From the Big Fork, Dr. George E. Harrison and wife returned Thursday from his ranch on the Big Fork river where they have enjoyed the hunting and fishing dur- ing the past three months. They have had the company of Dr, Harri- son’s brothers, W. H. and Fred. A. Harrison, during part of the season, and four men have been employed at and around the ranch. They first went to'their old camp in Hubbard county, but Dr, Harrison was so afflicted with hay fever down there that he came north earlier than heretofore and was immediately relieved of the annoying fever. With his wife he started this morning for New ¥ork where he will remain a few days before boarding the steamer on his way to Tondon, tee where he now resides.
