With a ‘condition that- ought to make our village orders desirable at little or no discount, our bank refuses to take them at all. If we succeeded in get- ting in afew more cash subscriptions we may’conclude to go intosthe bank- ing business ourself. ‘Yhen it would be, | “come on with your orders at 100 cents on the dollar.” We’ve got the nerve, if we had the money.” ENJOYED BY THE PUBLIC. School Pupils Entertain a Large Audience at Village Hall. It is to be hoped that the next entertainment given under the auspi- ces of the teachers and pupils ot the public schools well be as well attend- ed as that of Wednesday evening last. The hall was hterally packed and many turned away because every was the Odd Fellows masqurade ball | chair and all the standing Yoom was given last evening .at Village hall. About eighty couples appeared in gaudy and grotesque costumes, and altogether there were nearly one hundred and fifty couples in atten- dance. It was botn a social and financial triumph. Our First street contemporary waited until the Herald-Review ap- peared and expressed itself on the abortive report of the grand jury be- fore it ventured to speak its little piece. After taking its key from this paper our contemporary is always very bold to step forward and re-echo the old familiar, “me-to.” fhe Willing Workers will give a social sleigh-ride party on Friday evening next. A large number of sleighs will be furnished and the party will start from the Hotel Gladstone at 8 p. m. for Cook’s Hotel at Cohas- sett. Lunch will be served and danc- ‘ing, card playing, etc., will be the order of the evening at our neighbor- ibg village, Everybody is invited to join the “party. Twenty-five cents will be charged. \ As will be seen by the puclished proteedings of the board of county commissioners, in this ‘issue,’ the Heraid-Review has been designated as the ‘efficial paper of Itasca county for the énsuing year. Thedelenquent tax list, financial statement, and pro- ceedings oK\the board will appear in this paper. \Those who are interested in Itasca couty affairs cannot aftyrd to be withont ihe Herald-Review dur- ing 1897. a Carlton Videttle: “Dr. H- B. Allen, of Cloquet, was 4n Carlton a few hours yesterday. Mr, Allen expects to de- part from civiliza;ion about the first of March on a six n,onths trip to Alaska. While there the dé,ctor will act as sur- geon for the Pacifig: Whaling andSteam- pre-empted by eight o’clock. While no admission fee was charged. yet the the large attendance 1s a good indica tion of the general interest which is being taken 1n school work by the parents of Grand Rapids. It speaks | well for the teachers, inasmuch as it | indicates a most flaitering result of of their labors—» unanimous endorse- | ment, Other evenings during the | winter term will mark the progress of | education in Grand Rapids in a simi- lar manner. A small admission fee will be charged in some instances, but that should cause no dimmuation in attendance. Such encouragement is helpful alike to.both teachers and pupils, ‘The organization of a humane society is a step in the right direction. Prof. Baskerville has been instilling humane doctrines into the minds ot his pupils for some time, and when Henry Haskins of Duluth, comes to! assist in perfectng a good, working society, they will be well prepared to | conunue and build up the organiza- | tion in years to come. | " The entertainment on Wednesday | evening was opened by the Debating club, and a first-class representation of the ayerage debating society «was given. About one hour was con- sumed in a hot encounter between Prois. Baskerville and Murphy, Steph- eo Leahy and James Doran and the chairman, Alvin Krener, over par- liamentary rules and the mnghts, privi- leges and authority of the Grand Rapids Debating club, Finally the the club adjourned without having reached the rubject that had been an- nounced for discussion, Anyone who has ever watched the proceedings of congress from the galleries when per- sonalities develope, would have been forceably reminded thereof by ‘the savage assaults which played a con- picuous part in the novel debate on Wednesday evening. ‘The calesthentc exercises by pupils from Miss Gibson’s roam elicited well merited applause, and served as a most excellent illustration of the thor- ough methods employed in school training. Other features of the pro- gram wereSreading of the school paper by the editor. Miss Addie’ Chisholm; a piano solo by Miss Loretta Doran; a duet on the piano by Alberta Woods and Mable King; recitations by Miss Espy McLennan and Charley Galla- gher. The school glee club, with a chorus of fifty voices, rendered several selections, and the enthusiastic encore was a fair indication of the manner in which they delighted the four hun- dred people present. In a few days the Herald-Review will issue a school paper, a copy of which will be delivered to each pupil in the village, This publication might have appeared earlier, but the Herald-Review desires to make of it such a paper, both in size and typog- raphy. as will reflect becoming credit upon the youthful journalists whose first efforts will be typed upon its pages. SPRING STOCK HAND. How the Enterprising Merchant Talor is Always Ahead of the Season. The successful business man always looks ahead to the coming season and prepares for the wants of his trade in advance. ‘This more is especially true of the first class merchant tailor, who must keep apace with all the latest styles in fashionable dress and renew his stock with the most modern patterns from the factones. ._In these respects August Johnson takes second place to no tailor in the west. His spring stock, comprising several hundred of the very latest samples, may now be seen at his shop on Kindred avenue. ‘These patterns’ sur- pass anything in the line of cloth goods that has ever been brought to Itasca county. And the great reduction in plices that has been made by Mr. | Johnson should insure him a_ largely incréased patronage over former years. He is making suits from $18 up and guaranteeing every garment at that. He started out this morning on_ his annual tour of the camps, and is pre- pared to meet all competition in price, quality of goods and _ style of fimsh. ‘The boys in the woods are working this winter on a very low scale of wages and August Johnson is prepared to meet the hard times with prices that will enable every man to buy a first-class suit of clothes. He has one great advantage over outside competition, and it 1s in being able to correct any mistakes there | might be made in style or fit. No tailoring house in the country is infallible—the best of them will make mistakes at times. Mr. Johnson 1s in Grand Rapids the year round, and prepared at all times to make zood his guarentee, KILED BY A FALLING TREE. Fatal Accident at Wood’s Camp on the D., M. R. & N. On Wednesday of last week,George Roenm, an Austrian, aged about 36 years. was killed by a falling tree at woods’ camp on the Duluth, Mississ- ippt River & Northern read, about 18 miles distant from Hibbing, reports the Hibbing Sentinel. He had-been employed as a woodsman at this camp about two. months. Roenm was a hardy, muscular man, in prime health, At the time of the Accident, nearby sawyers cuta pine which in falling struck another tree which snapped off and fell across the abdomen and thighs of the doomed man. Both legs were broken and the lower part of his body badly mangled. ‘he dy- ing unfortunate was quickly conveyed | © a special train and brought to Hib- bing. ‘He died in great agony just as the railroad yards were reached, begging pitifully with his last breath that someone would kill him and thus | put an end to his awful misery. ‘The | remains were taken to W. C, Barrett's undertaking establishment, and to- morrow will be given Catholic. burial, ‘The funeral expenses wiil be defrayed by the Wright & Davis company. Althoug': accidents of this ¢harac- ter are not unusual in lumbering dis- tricts this is the first that has occurred this season in this vicinity.
