Everyone is cordially invited to at- tend. Mrs, J. C. Rosser took Monday’s train to Duluth. Although the new hospital in which she 1s interested there is doing well she expects to visit the social circle hera occasionally and to look after general business in this section. The season for shooting deer will open tomorrow and quite a number of the town mimrods have picked out the kind of guns they will use next Wednesday when the battle of the ballots is over. A few political an- tagonists have paired off in order to be on the deer trails as early as possi- ble. Prof- B. M. Storch is here from Chicago on a month’s visit with his brother C. M. Storch and wife. Prof. Storch finds great enjoyment in exploring the beauuful lakes that make Itasca county a paradise for fishermen. He was up to Trout lake early this week and had good luck in both fishing and hunting. Tomight is All Hallowe’en and those who have movable property such as wagons and signs and door knobs need to keep an eye on the youthful proclivities of the celebrators. The old folks should not get mad at them for nearly every one joins in the play- fal pranks at some time or other. A surprise party given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

They experienced pleasant weather and three days of excellent luck in partridge hunting. Prof. C. P. Murphy, of Duluth, ar- rived last evening and will enter upon his duties Monday as teacher of the new class which will occupy the last room that was vacant im the Central school. The list of scholars which now numbers nearly goo has grown far more rapidly than was expected a ! few months ago. The school board 1s fortunate in securing Mr. Murphy with whom Prof. Baskerville, the prin- cipal. closed the contract during his tmp to Duluth last Monday. Our friend Lampman of the Itasca County News is a most sarcastic fel- low. He is supporting a big majority of the present county officers and yet he howls hke a hyena to “turn the rascals out.” Lampman hasn’t ac quired very extensive interests in Itasca county, but inasmuch as he is a thoroughgoing newspaper man he | proposes to have his say, even if he don’t mean a word of it, “Turn the rascals out” sounds well and has long done service as a “filler? in the ab- sence of better argument. Roster of the A. 0. U. W. The large membership which was obtained by the new lodge of the A. O. U. W. which was organized here jJast week, as announced in the Her- ald-Review, promises to soon be aug- mented considerably from the ranks of the young men. ‘The officers se- | Jected by the A O. U. W. are: P. M. W., Ceo- F. Meyers; M. W., Thos. McAlpine; Foreman, J. J. Decker; Overseer, V.»Cleveland; Recorder, H. ). Richardson; Finanvier, C. A, Nut- er; Receiver, E. J. Farrell; Guide, C. J. Flatt; I. W., H. Withrow; O. W., M. W. Gilliland; Trustee three years. D. M. Guna; Trustee two years, T. Russell; Trustee one year, C. F. Hast- ings. Capt. Orvis Mason, who organized the lodge returned to his home in Minn., Tuesday THE MORRIS MEETING. A Concert of Speech and Song---The Par- ade and Fireworks. The regular train was packed full last night with people from down the line to attend the Republican show and to hear Page Morris. A special traiu that had been easily secured by the Republican managers brought a contingent from Deer River and Co- hasset in which the “head pushes” of leading lumbermen figured prominent- ly. Red fire and sky rockets were used freely and when the band got through with its reception music _the Hotel Pokegama was like a bee hive filled with all sorts ot politicians, who, to say the least, were glad to beshel- tered from the rain that was falling. Several promment Duluth Repub- licans were noticeable among the vis- itors. The procession was not a long one and the parade took but little tme = Most of the ladies were conveyed to the Court house in a buss and were assigned to reserved seats with the visiting Duluthians. While the court room was filled it may be »remembered by those who would compare the numbers with the free silver demonstrations that have been held at the Village hall that the latter holds more people than the Court house. The exercises took the nature of the campaign concert with political addresses interspersed. C. C. Mc Carthy was chairman of the meeting. In his opening address he referred to the lumber jacks and claimed that he had been a lumber jack himself. ile took considerable pains to con- vince his hearers that he did not say that $14.00 per month was good enough for a lumber jack. Miss McCarthy recited pleasing poems and the Republican quartette sang several campaign songs. Col. Whitney, of Wadena, was introduced and made a plea in behalf of his candidacy as State Senator. He said nothing about his Democratic oppo- nent Hon. T. R, Foley. A feature of the evening was a presentation of a large bunch of flowers—the fashionable chrysanthe- mums—to Page Morris, who paid the ladies many compliments upon their remembrances. The principal speech by Judge Morris was devoted mainly to a con- sideration of the questions addressed to him recently at Little Falls. He used them as pegs upon which to hang his well-known views on labor, government, protection, and currency. He invited the votes of Democrats for the gold standard ticket and closed his address after spedking about an hour and a half. “To Increase the Dam Reserve. The commissioners appointed to ap- praise lands to be used for additional storehouse and other government im- provements at the Pokegama Dam reservation, arrived Monday evening. They were: Ex-Governor Horace Austin and O.C. Merriman,of Minneap olis and William Dawson, president of the Bank of Minnesota, St. Paul, They viewed the lands in question; the Grant tract of one:anda half acres, on the east bank of the Mississippi and the Washburn tract of two acres, on the west bank, at the fails. They returned to the Hotel Pokegama and heard the testimony which was taken by assistant U. S. District Attorney George R. O’Reilly, of St. Paul. Ma- jor W. A. Jones, chief of the upper Mississippi reservoir system and L. / Powell, C. E., of St. Paul, were with the party. The commission adjourn- ed to Minneapolis to take further tes timony and with W. H. Grant, of Sandstone, went east Wednesday morning. Whiie here the members of the par- ty, most of whom had never been here before, took occasion to express their complete surprise at the progress } which they saw. ‘They made many inquiries concerning the -resour- ces of this district and some of them expressed the belief that this section will, in addition to its importance as a lumbering region, become one of the most substantial portions of Minneso- ta the near future. ‘They were pleased with the courtesies they were extended by numerous citizens and said they would like to come here again and enjoy the hunting and fishing which is obtainable so close to the adjuncts ot advanced civilization that mark the magnitude of the capitol of Itasca county. Heavy Registration. An increase of twenty-eight per; cent 1s noticeable m the registration in precincts number one and two of Grand Rapids, the total being 803 names this time as compared with 630 names in 1894. In _ precinct number three (Laprairie) 100 names are registerad now where there were 103 names in ’94. The above refers only to males. In ‘gq fifty fem were registered and only one av ! herself of the privilege this time. ‘Lhe! reason for the seeming lack of interest on the part of the ladies lies in the endorsement of the candidate tor school superintendent by all of the politicdt parties, In ’94 the male votes castin Grand Rapids precincts number oneand two were 21 per cent less than the registration. Wanted—An Idea seunas THE LAFAYETTE CLUB. Anniversary Banquet and Ball Held on Thursday Evening. The prominent French organization —the LaFayette club—heaped new laurels upon itself Thursday evening in the anniversary ex.rcises of its organ- ization which occurred on October 29, 1895 and its members honored the memory of the illustrious patriot whose name is enshrined upon the annals of Amencan history. ‘To this noble French soldier—the Marquis de LaFayette—the remembrance and praise of American citizensh.p and of all who love freedom and justice is due. He sacrificed his surround- ings of ease and refinement in his home in suany France and came to this country during the war for In- dependence to assist General Wash- ington in the conflict that brought about our present system of govern- ment which has made this republic the most progressive of modern umes. Gen. LaFayette, as he was known in the Continental army placed his large means as well as his splendid abili- ties at the disposal of the conunen- tals and was a leader in securing for this country the liberties of the people. It is not surprising, therefore, that all the citizens are glad to perpetuate his memory. ‘The anniversary exercises of the La- Fayette club were held in Village hall. ‘Their banquet and ball were among the most notable events ever held here. No pains had been spared by the excellent chefs in the preparation of the banquet, which was elaborate in the toothsome viands, and it was greatly enjoyed by all. Secretary Joleaud. ot the club addressed the SHIP BUILDING Sail or Row Boats REMEMBER ALSO, Grand Rapids, - e® 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. That we are better prepared than heretofore to do all classes of work in the shop, and our stock of General Lumber is up to the standard.

Bureau who was very sorry on account of his inability to be present. There were 115 couples at the ball and the music and danc- ing contmued until about four o’clock Friday morning. The Maccabees Ball. No nicer way to celebrate the joy- ous ‘Thanksgiving holiday can be _se- cured than to attend the grand ball of Pokegama tent of the Knights of Ma 3e€3 tch will be given at Village hall November 26. The committees of Sir Knights appointed to make the arrangements for the event are industrious in their efforts to make its every feature remarkable and satisfactory to the large company of people who will participate in the fes- tivities. They are striving to please and their preparations thus far guar- antee a pronounced success. The principles of benevolence and_friend- ship upon which the order of the Maccabees is'founded make it one of the favorites among fraternal organiza- tions. Its beneficiary resources are promptly available tor those who have any claim upon the Sir Knights. They hold their friendship in all classes of the community and will, undoubtedly have a large patronage at their Thanksgiving ball and banquet. The music will be of the best and the preparatious for the banquet are in the hands of those who know how to make things enjoyable. A Reminder of Old Times President William Dawson, of the Bank of Minnesota, St. Paul, who was at Pokegama Falls ‘uesday on the appraisement commission, said that the conditions here reminded him of the early days of the Saintly city when they could go just outside of town and shoot all the partridges, ducks and prairie chickens they cared for. He heard so much from various people here about their success in hunting that he felt like trying the sport for a few days but was unable to spare the time. A Good Opinion As to the attitude of Hon. Charles A. Towne concerning religious matters Bishop McGolrick has answered a letter addressed to him by J. E. C. Robinson, of St. Cloud, thus:—My Dear Mr. Robinson: I have no means of knowing who is a member of the A. P.A’. or any other secret society. but I can safely say that Mr. Towne isnotan enemy to Cathohicity. I alwaysconsidered Mr.Towne to be too honorable a man to join any “hole and corner” association to do injury to his fellow .citizens, because of their honest belief. I am yours sincerely, James M’Goxrick, Bishop of Duluth Patriotic Workers. Of those who have done earnest and effective work in the cause of bi- metallism in ltasca county none de- serve more credit than George Walker, &. J. Baxter C. W. Robinson and the other gentlemen who have charge of the Bryan, Lind and Towne headquarters. ‘They have unselfishly devoted their tite t buti of Jiterature and ments have made m the cause of the peopie. And whea ib i8 remembered thai their time has not been paid for, buton the contrary they have battled without price for that which they conceived to be the right, they are deserving of un- stinted praise, and those for whom they have labored are under obliga- tiens that will be hard to discharge.

Predictions That Count The predictions of the Herald- Review in its issue of September 19 have been fulfilled to the letter. It prophesied the one or two fiurries of snow and it emphasized the fact that the present snow storm would be the real opening of tlie winter season. In the intervals as stated some of the tinest weather of the year has pre- vailed. ‘The storm which begun Wednesday develuped into a good size snow fall of which six inches, that fell last night. met the eyes of early risers this morning and the light flakes kept coming ata pretty fair pace throughout the day silently but surely robing the earth with the mantie of winter. The storms dur- ing the latter part of this week has been severe at the head of th» lakes. Duluth felt the damage of the tele- graph facilities seriously Thursday night—worse, it is said than has been known there for thirty years. Six telegraph poles were down in the Du- luth&Winnipeg railroad and trees were blown across the tracks. Tbe head of the lakes appeared to be the storm center for tue introduction of the winter, ‘Telegrams have been moving by mail yesterday and today and some of the business men now be- gin to feel the discoinforts of disabled telegraph services. A Protest The Herald-Review is in receipt of a very emphatic communication from Deer River relative to certain state- ments which appeared in these columns last week concerning the can- didacy of C.C. McCarthy for county attorney. The communication is tov jengthy io permit of publication in this issue, but the substance was that candidate McCarthy bad been done a great injustice by the assertion that he is not the friend of the laboring classes and refuses to take labor claims into court. ‘The writer holds that Mr. McCarthy is the laborers’s best friend by a: ng them out of court tu settle their difficulties, etc. It is not the purpose of the Herald-Review to injure any wan or to do any can- didate an injustice, because we believe the same methods should be employed in politics that are demand- ed in honorable business affairs, and if what has been stated regarding his position is untrue, be should be able to fully refute it to the satisfaction of the public. There is no lack of evi- dence, however, regrading the atti- tude of Mr. McCarthy on issues per- taining tothe working Classes, and he should be well remembered on election day. The Logging Outlook. The snow is now heavy enough to start sleighing and runners will be more usetul than wheels for months The building of new camps noticable to come. this season has not been as as a year ago but most of th it jing loggers are re: hey expect to do this winter ‘Che cut will uadoubtedly be smaller than last yeao. In The Fraternities. The Daughters of Rebecca held their regular convocation at Pythiau hallon ‘Lu evening. A full at- tendance was reported and singing wus an interesting feature of the occasion. Among Our Homes. Frank Sheldon’s _ new, residence makes‘a. tine showing among the recent structures that give evidence of the enterprise and stabiiity of the county seat. It is commodious and handsume and will be ready for its owner next week about the time be returns from akota trip. Wanted—A Secretary. The alleged organization of a French Republican club in Grand Rapids, an account of which ,appeared in the Magnet, is a standing joke among our French citizens - Felix Melette is re- corded as secretary, but Felix says he had no knowledge of such an_ organi- zation until the news appeared in the paper. It will now be in order for Mr. Bernard to find some Frenchman to act as secretary.
