He expects to be absent from his usual haunts in Itasca county for some time. His many friends here wish him a pleasant trip and safe return, The Lumberman says that “G. A. R.

When they came out $3 was deducted for railroad fare and | $1.50 for hospital dues from each man. ‘They then had’a little over $3 coming. To show for that, they had time checks payable April 21 next, mm Minneapolis. The recent cold snap was welcomed by the loggers, and it was a good thing for Itasca county, even though it did cause the destruction of wood- piles. ‘The snow that had fallen prior | to the “below degrees” weather pre- | served the ground from freezing and the worst possible brand of logging roads was the consequence, ‘Thirty | degrees below zero, however, will pen- |etrate most any thickness of snow and have the desired effect upon the jreal estate. And thereat do the | lumbermen rejoice. Aitkin Age: “On last Monday, Miller Bros. & Co.,. brought down from their headquarters camp all their | available horses and. cattle and_ ship- ped the same over to their extensive {camps in northern Wisconsin. This means that they will- not operate in this section this winter, but they have by no means abandoned it altogether, as they still have considerable stand- ing pine here, which they will cut when the conditions of market are more favorable than at present.” The “air line” Magnet is at it again. The imaginative editor of that great railroad builder is writing letters to himself concerning a project for running a direct line of road be- tween Grand Rapids and the Twin, Citles. When that road 1s built it wil not be through the bonding of counties to a tew schemers who hope speculate thereon. ‘The Herald- Rev knows all about that old “gag” and will tell the people when the proper time comes. oe Grand and Petit Jurors.

Pleasantly Entertained. The concert given at Village hall last Saturday evening by the Ladies ‘Temple quartette of Duluth, under the auspices of the Public School Literary society, was heard and ap- preciated by a large audience. The members ot the qnartette. arrived on the train from Hibbing, where they had given an entertainment the even- ing previous. Misses Louden, Agnes and Lulu Smallwood, Shannon and Stoughton composed the party. They were accompanied on the tip by Mr. J. ¥. Killorm, manager of the 1,, M. R. & N. railway. At Hibbing the young ladies met with an experience sion, Arriving on a belated -train, they were escorted to the village’hail, and the first number on the program was introduced at 10 o'clock. ‘The room was supplied with a shivering temperature, and the whole party contracted severe colds. This necesi- tated several changes in the program as printed for the concert here, but the entertainment was none the less of, a high order, and under the circum- stances reflected great credit upon all the members of the quartetie. A dec- lamattion by Miss Lena McCarthy only known to the theatrical protfes- | ‘was one of the features of the evening which ehcited a storm of applause, and she responded to the encore in a most delightful manner. The large audience was weil pleased with the entertainment furnished, and the peo- ple of Grand Rapids will give the Temple quartette a glad welcome when they visit this metropolis again. At the close of the concert the hall was cleared and a social dance en- | joyed until 12 o'clock. Much credit is due Professors Baskerville and Murphy and the members of the Literary society for their enterprise in furmshing the Grand Rapids — public with a concert that would entertain among the most cultivated musical circles. K. 0. T. M. Election. At the regular meeting of Pokagma Tent No. 33, K.O. T.

A committee was ap- pointed to make the necessary arrange- | ments. ‘he event promises to be an interesting one for the sir knights and their friends. Special Service at M. E. Church. The M. E. church was reopened last Sunday, after having been beauti- fully decorated. ‘The work was done by Mr. Richardson, and bears evi- dence of his skill and taste, and the thanks of the church and congrega- tion are due to Mr. W. R. Baumbach and Prof. R. J. Baskerville, through whose efforts it has been accomplisi- | ed. The Lemple Ladies’ Quartette! of Duluth, sang in the morning, and in the evenihg the choir was again augmented by these ladies, as well as | Prof Baskerville, Mr. F. ‘T. Bueneman and Mr. C, P. Murphy. A union | service was held by -Rev. Treloar, the | pastor; Rey. Wuson of Duluth, and Kev. Mather, D.D., of Fenton,Mich., who is visiting here. Miss Shannon gave a beauutul rendering of the “Holy City.” The quartette’ sang “Ave Maria,” and proved that they had the ability to render sacred music in even a more artistic manner than secular pieces. Mr. Bueneman and Mr. Murphy sang with great feeling the duet, “Tope Beyond,” and Mr, Murphy sang the- baritone solo, “God Is Love.” ‘lhe rendering of the duet by Messrs. Bueneman and Murphy was such that the people of Grand Rapids have every reason to be proud in having such able talent in’ their midst. ‘he service throughout was a success and one long to be remein- bered. Business Changes. ( will be seen by a notice printed lsewhere in this issue of the Herald- Review, the firm of Nesbitt & Warri- ner has been dissolved by mutual coa- sent. Mr. Warriner retires from the business, while Mr, Nisbett will con- tinue at the old stand. The business was started by Mr. sbett about five years ago, and notwithstanding the reverses with which he _ has had to contend, he has succeeded in build- ing a large trade throughout the coun- try. He says that it will be his aim to carry a larger stock than during. any previous season and thus keep apace with the growth of Grand Rap- ids. Mr. Warriner will not leave Grand Rapids, according to present calculations, but will likely re-establish himself in business here during the next few days. They are both very popular young business men and are deserving of the highest success, KING & FINNEGAN. A dissolution notice printed-1#ethe Maguet this week announces that B, C. Finnegan has bought the interest of H. R. King in the drug business which these gentlemen have been con- ; ducting in Grand Rapids during the | past three years, and hereafter re) Fianegan will be the sole proprietor} It is unnecessary to say that Roy Bel wiil remain as pharmacist, in which | capacity he has ably served the public of Grand Rapids for a number of years. The store is just now under- going some interior improvements | preparatory tothe holiday trade. Mr. Finnegan’s good business ability and personal popularity, coupled with that of his able assistant, Mr. Bell, will leave no chance of failure under the; new proprietorship.

A bisque FOR THE BOYS. x : Hulett C. Merritt Treats the I. M. C. Em- ployes at Hibbing. One of the most gorgeous and mag- ificent banquets ever given in the merthwest was given at Hotel Hib- Thanksgiving by Mr. H.C, Mer- ritt, of the firm of the Itasca Mercantile Co., to its employes, says the Hibbing News. Each guest wore a beautiful boquet. The tables were decorated with flowers in great pro- fusion. Some of the phasing features were stories, toasts and funny speeches which awakened an enthus- iasm long to be remembered by all. ‘The menu cards were of a_variety of colors, printed in gold. Each guest took ‘one as a souvenir. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. What Some Leading Industries Think of the Effect of McKinley’s Election. The Silsby Stove & Queensware Co., Springfield, Mo., wnte to the Am- erican Artisan of Chicago, that trade has fallen off considerable as a result of McKinley’s election, with the exception ofa slight run on some lines uf seasonable goods. This firm report that their volume of sales are not neatly as good as in September and Octuber, ’96. ‘They expect no advance execpt in lines controlled by trusts and combines. They have just’ noticed a decline on prices in hollowware. They do not see how the nail trust can maintain its present position for it isa great outrage and should be looked into. ‘They add to this “pessimistic letter the following statement: “We believe that Mce- Kinley’s election simply means a continuance of the present times. Their platform gives no relief what- ever, simply promises good times in a general way. The main direction of promised relief wasin a higher tariff; we think the manufacturer has enough protection now,,and it would be dis- astious to intefere with the present scale ef duty. We import a great many goods and with the present duty cannot find a market for the goods. ‘The trouble 1s, we have not got enough money in circulation, there is not enough money per capita for the present population. We-need) some new blood. The only bright outlook we can see is for the monoply men. They are now loaning money in the city from 8 to 12 per cent and higher. We have been creditably in- formed that there are banks in this section who are prying 10 per cent in New York. It is a harvest for this class, just as bitter cold weather would be for the stove man,” Some Old Violins. Stradivarius, the great violin maker, who turned out about 700 in- straments in his lifetime, pever got more than $25 for a fiddle, whereas now they command as high as $10,- 000 each. It goes to show that people never appreciate a man ubtil | after he isdead. The Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, however, bas never lacked appreciation. At all times it has been the people’s popular route to and between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior, Stillwater, ‘Taylor’s Falls and other points, for many reasons.

The following, taken from one of our exchanges, is respectfully sub- mitted to our high protection friends for consideration: j “Protection sentiment is said to be growing in England and Germany. When all the countries have “protect- ed” themselves against all others then we suppose they will all. ve pros- perous. “By the way. we are foreigners as to the-rest of the world, and the foreigner pays the tax, according to the protectionist doctrine. It fol- lows, we suppose, that England and Germany and the rest of the world may any day be voting taxes upon us Americans. Isn’t it awful? “The truth about the protective theory has beea considerably obscured by the glittering but delusive promise of benefits. But the United States is better able to stand tariff trade barriers than any other country on the globe. It bas free trade within a larger area than is'comprised by half a dozen of the European. countries that are bent upon shutting -each this free trade between her greatly diversified sections—the manufactur- ing east, the cotton and fruit-growing south and agricultural west—that‘has enrichad east, south and west. But, according to the protection idea, if this were three ‘governmetits instead of oné, all three would be benefitted by trade isolation through sprehibi- ‘tive tariffs. “Isn’t the protection idea just the least bit illogical? ‘The sort.of protection that-déads to free, or at least freer, trade, ought to be the policy of theUnited States.” | Lost or destroyed in the Ackley House fire ‘at May 15th, 1892, my ‘policy No. 47027 for $1,000 with the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co.
