William Smith, who was shot through the bedy a week ago, is re- covering from his jury under the care of Dis. Russell and Enle. He is now out of danger. ' As Business increas.:s, August John- son finds it necessary to increase hig force of tailors. Last week Tireodore Skare arrived irom Duluch, and he is an arust at his business. The lumbermen of Itasca county are up to their ears in snow, 1n conse- queuce of which operations in the woods are not moving along as rapid- ity as they otherwise might. Sheriff M. L. Toole will leave for St. Paul on Monday morning to at- iend a meeting of the sherifts of the state to be held in that city on ‘Tues- day and Wednesday of next week. The Herald-Review has received a copyeof State Auditor Dunn’s biennial report. Itisa very exhaustive and complete document and shows that Mi. Dunn knows, knows | exactly where he is at. John S. Bernie, who had charge of the tin shop of W. J. & H. D. Powers’ hardware store for a number of years, returned” to town this week from Manitoba, where he has been dunng the past’six months. Mr, George Cox is acting as depu- ty county auditor in the apsence of Auditor King, who 1s in St. Paul try- ing to advance some legislation in which he feels. interested. Mr. King is expected home this evening. Trustee W. R. Baumbach, of the Itasca Mercantile Co., arrived from a visit to his home at Wadena on Wed- nesday. He was accompanied by his son, C. W., who is cashier of the First National bank of Wadena. The sleighride party announced for last evening from Grand. Rapids to Co asset under the auspices of the Willing Workers, was postponed on account of the extremely cold weather. ‘The date will be announced later. February 3 is the date fixed on which will be given the next enter- tainment by the O. R. I. O. A pro- gram of unusual merit will be arranged tor the occasion and the society should be greeted by alarge attendance. The Magnet is very anxious for “mare thorough and systematic” or ganization for immigration purpcses. What the Magnet really hankers for isa contributing organization that will make an occasional appropnation for the Moose. W. E. Baillie, formerly of the firm | of Wangenstine & Baillie, the archi- tects of the Itasca county court house, * died of consumption in Daluth yes- terday. He had suffered a great deal during the -past ‘three years’ of in- flammatory rheumatism, which finally developed into the dread disease that caused his death. ‘ The Village Council passed a res- olution—as will be seen in this issue, ordering action against Justice Stilson, to recover fines due the village, Mr. Stilron says there 1s a dispute as to any such fines due’and is willmg and always ready to pay anything due. the viliage as soon as he is satisfied that he should lawiully do so. A sociable that was “extremely well attended,” is one of the interesting items in the Magnet this week. On behalf of the newspaper fraternity the Herald-Review begs‘ to assure Mr. and Mrs. Graffam that our contem- perary did not intend to infer that the number present was too great or “extreme” im any respect. Itisa habit of the Magnet to misuse the Enghsh language. It doubtless in- tended to convey the information that the party was attended by a large number of persons. ; H. E. Richardson and - Fred J. Stevens have formed a _ co partner- ship, and about the first of February will open a furniture store in the building formerly occupied by Mr. Richardson as an undertaking estab- lishment. The undertaking business has been -moved to the Stevens build- ing on: Leland avenue. ‘These two young men are popular and energetic and will build up a profitable trade in the furniture line. Mr. Richarson will leave for Minneapolis next week to buy the stock. It is now being rumored in railroad circles thai an extension of the Duluth, Miasissippi_ River & Northern will sippi, its southern terminus’ to Min- neapolis or from Hibbing, its northern terminus, to Rainy Lake. [his rail- road is thirty-seven miles long and was built in 1892, for the purpose of hauling logs and irone ore. The logs are dumped into the Mississippi river for the Weyerhaeuser companies | chiefly, and the logging is done by j Wright & Davis of Saginaw, who | were the originators and promoters of the building of the railroad. ‘The ex- tension story that is now current is rather indefimite, as it is not reported in which direction* rumog will have the line extended.—Lumberman. Congratulations. The following telegram was sent ! from: West Superior on the 24st inst: “A marriage savoring of romance has just taken place hee, Miss Myrtle Wasson of Minneapolis, wed- ding W. P. Nesbitt ot Grand Rapids, Minn. It appears that the couple met here by arrangement and the ceremony was quictly performed at the Euclid hotel by Kev. Harton. Mrs. Nesbitt returned alone to Min- neapolis this afternoon.” The happy groom is none other than our popular jeweler, Will Nisbett. He returned to town this week after an absence of seyeral days, but was too modest to confide in the Herald-Review until his attenuion was called to the Superior dispatch, when he gracefully —ac- knowledged the truth thereof. Mrs, Nisbett is at present visiting friends in Minneapolis, where she will remain until afer Will bas has completed his winter’s campaign among the camps. We exiend congsatulations. Enteriained by Mr and Mrs. Graffim. ‘The meanbers of the Ladies’ Luterary society met on Wednesday egéhing at the pleasant home of Mr and Mrs. H. E. Graffam, There were about twenty society people present and a most enjoyable evening was spent. Members who took part were Mes- dames White, Gilbert, Pravitz, Mc- Carthy, George F. Kremer, Casel- berg, Russell, Sheldon and Graffam, and their husbands, and also Mrs. Ehle and Miss Lena McCarthy. Dr. H. B. Ehle, Rev. ‘Trelor, Carl shel- don and Messrs Brady, Kearney and Kremer, members of the school board, were among the guests of the society. One feature ot the entertainment was the guessing of titles of popular works trom illustrateons displayed. Miss ; McCarthy won the prze—Vicar of Wakefield.” A lunch was serveds Death of Wm. McAlister. Tie relatives and friends of William McAlister were shocked on Tuesday | last, when the news, of his .death was brought to town. Mr. McAlister and his wife, who were living on their farm near Blackberry, came to Grand Rapids on Saturday and at that time the old gentleman appeared to be en- | joying his usual good health. McAlister remained in town with her | daughter, Mrs. Edward Gallagher, while her husband returned to the farm. As thére had been no evidence ot life about the place for three or four days, neighbors called at the place on Monday evening, but could not gain an entrance. ‘Tuesday morning friends called again at the home, and upon forcing open the door found the lifeless body lying upon the floor. No inquest was held as it was evident that death was caused by paralysis. Interment was made in the Itasca cemetery on Thursday | afternoon. ROBBED THE MAILS. . James Miller Asks for Freeman & Gray’s Mail and Goes Through It. A week ago last Saturday, James | Miller called at the post office and asked Postmaster Caselberg to give him Freeman & Gray’s mail as he was gomg-out to the camps. As different | parties are in the habit of calling for mail for the several logging firms, Mr. Caselberg handed out the bundle as requested. “Miller didn’t go to camp, but instead walked over to the vicinity of Knox’s mill and there opened it and scattered the contents about upon the ground. It is not believed that . the mail contained any money or other valuables, ‘That mght Miller went out to Shaw’s camp—one of Freeman & Gray’s outfits—and during night he’stole an overcoat and a watch and skipped out. Up ‘to date he has not been apprehended. Miller is an ex-convict, it is said, and his reputa- tion igs by no means the best. He because he believed that a watch that had been sent him from Floodwood had _ been stolen by sume- one who carried the mail from the postoffice to camp, He adopted this means of getting even. The watch was sent here from Floodwood and is now-in the postoffice, but as it was not sent in care of anyone, being ad- dressed to ‘ James Miller,” and as no one calied for James Miller’s mail it still remains inf the possession of the postmaster. Jearned 0} Miller’s robbery he kept the matter quiet for several days, only notifying the officials, hoping that the culprit might be caj tured. ° Mrs. | the | was prompted to go through the mail ; ‘General Passenger Agent. St, Paul, When Mr. Caselberg ! ROAD TO THE NORTH. A — * Other Range Towns Want the Rainy Lake Trade. There isa prospect of a lively tri- soon be built, either from the Missis- ° angular fight between three range , towns and _ incidentally between the two principal range roads tor the Rainy Lake business, says the Herald. Tower has had it night along by_vir- ture of the Crane Lake road. That Virginia wants itis evident by the | ihjunction suit which prevented the county commissioners from so extend- jing the Miller trunk road as to still ‘further add to the possibilities for | ‘communication between Tower and Rainy Lake. If the injunction ordered by Judge Moer recently continues in force it-will mean that | the board will have to build a direct line, or as nearly direct as possible, from Virginia to Crane Lake, and this will undoubtedly divert much of ‘the Rainy Lake trade to Virginia. Now Hibbing wants that traffic with the gold ficlds. It already has a winter road to Koochiching, on | Rainy river, but it wants an all-the -year road, and strenuous efforts will be made to get it. ‘There 1s al ready a winter road betwe:n Grand Rapids in Ltasca county, and Koochi- ‘ching, D. M. Gunn, the represen- tative in the state legislature from that county, had in his inside pocket when he went to St. Paul, a_ bill, ask- ing an appropriation’ of $20,00 by the state tor th¢ improvement of the Grand Rapids road, and he fully ex- | pects to get it. ‘Vhere is‘a ruad from Hibbing to Koochiching, as_ stated Dbetore, but rom Sturgeon Lake down to Hibbing the ;road sis impassible in summer. Joseph H. Gardener, who was in section 7-63 23, has cut a rvad from secton 1-61-23, to. Sturgeon Lake, connecting. the Koochiching with the winter road to Hibbing. Gard- ner’s road will-tap the straight dry road from Grand Rapids which Dan Gunn’s appropriation will build. All the Hibbing people want is to have the road from Hibbing to: Sturgeon | Lake made dry so that it will be good the year round. Whey have interested a good many people and companies, among others the Duluth, Missabe & Nosthern and the »matter will be brought before the county commissioners. The road will consist, when com- pleted, of the road from Hibbing to Sturgeon Lake, of Gardner’s road and finally of the Grand Rapids road. It is claimed tor this route that it is’ i thirty miles shorter than the Grand ! Ripids road, and it will be a few ‘miles shorter than the Virginia road. In the fight between the two ranges the two roads will probably take some part, as they profit by all the_| | business gained vy the towas on their line. It is claimed for the new road that lit will go through undeveloped irov | territory and lead to the settlement lof a large section of land.—Hubbing | Sentinel. j Logger’s Rights. Says a Princton paper: “Whata | deuce of a fuss 1s being made over a | few rotten pine logs in Isanti county. | With all due respect to the original | owners of the logs we do not think | that a farmer who utlizesa log that | has lain on his Jand for several years is guilty of any very henious crime. The farmers who are ‘interested’ ‘should employ a. good lawyer and force the lawyers for the prosecution to earn their money.” That all may ; be, but how about the fellow who makes a business of stealing the logs that the waters wash up onto the ; banks of the river, and who either i} saws them in his own mill or sells them to some small mil near by? ‘The principle 1s not changed‘ in the | least because a man takes only an oc- casional log They belong to the {lumbermen who ‘bought the timber from which they were cut and who paid for their being logged and driven down the Mississipp1, and because the ‘ umbermen are nearly all large oper- | ators and probably woul: not seriously | feel the loss of $100 worth of logs is ino reason why the man who steals ‘them should be exonerated. Itis merely the application of the old and mistaken idea that it 1s not a crime or asin to steal from anyone who is nch and especially a corporation, Blushing is a Disease. ‘The doctor who says that blushing is a nervous disease may be all right, ‘but many would like to see the ailment more prevalent. Blushes are. a good thing, but no one has any reason to blush for the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, for its equipment always of the latest and best, and itisalways in the foremost ravk, | This is attested by the wide popu ity enjoved by the Duluth Short Line amoug those who trave! between S! : Paul, i polis, Duluth, West Superior: Stillwater, Taylor,s Falls aud other important ortlwestern points, and this popularity has never weakened’ for - an instant. Fast, juxurious trains, running smoothly at convenient hours, are appre- ciated by the geueral public, and the results tell their own story’ For ‘eirculars, maps. time. tables and | general infomartion, apply to ticket | agents or write to W, A.
