The Hibbing papers report that the Crowley Electric company have brought an action to recover damages from that village for a plant that was never put in. . If the Crowley com- pany is as successful’ as it was in Itasca county, on a similat deal, Hibiing had better make. arrange- ments for a special assessment of taxes in the spring. Representatives of the West Su- perior Specia].y Company, were here this week packing up for shipment the stock of Benj. Herrig & Co., recently sold to that concern by, Re- ceiver M. R.

The following, from the Brainerd Journal, is respectfully submitted to the Magnet Moose: “The superin- tendent of Morrison county, with only about one-half more population than Crow Wing, is paid $1.200 a year, and it 1s satisfactory to the ‘people, and considered’ money well spent. Otter county days $2,000, and_ his assisant, Mr. Fritz, formerly of this city, gets $1,000.” ‘The ladies ef the Willing Workers society desire the Herald-Review to express their sincere thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Cook of Cohasset, for the very generous hospitality shown them and their friends on Tuesday evening last. .

Sport at the skating rink ‘has been quite lively this week and races have been a great source of enjoyment to the young folks. In the potato race Thursday evening Miss Lona SOME STATEMENTS OF FACT. As a retort'to some facts made pub- lic in these columns, two weeks ago, the editor. ot the <Herald-Review is charged by our First» street contem- porary with the most ‘humiliating and degrading offense of once having been in itsemploy. In this public pres- ence we plead guilty and can only hope to be forgiven through an earnest pledge never to do so again. We feel deeply the cutting rebuke thus admistered, and can but pray that the charity and forgetfullness of time will wash away that single stain, and as the years sweep by into the silent past our friends may cease; to add when a kindly word is spoken concerning us—“but—he once work- ed for the Magnet Moose.” Alas, however, we must bear this disgrace- ful burden at least a decade longer. fob * * * We touk him as a hired man and nourished and cherished and warmed him for twenty months,—Magnet, Put into plain, intelligible Enghsh, the foregoing paragraph means that we received a salary for services ren- dered the Magnet. Theie 1s really nothing extraordinary in this, put the circumstances under which the afore- Nevieux won the psize and the~barrel race was won by Master Frank Lyons. The contestants were greeted with round after round of hearty ap- plause and everyone, young and old vowed that they had a splendid time. The ice is kept in fine condition and the success of the rink has been due to the excellent work of manager Thomas Olin. James Oliver of Grand has been recommended by Maj Baldwin as one of the new estimators to be appointed | by the secretary of the interior to esti- | mate the Red Lake reservation pine. Mr. Oliver 1s one of the most compe- tent cruisers in Northern Minnesota. What he doesn’t know about stand- ing pine isn’t worth knownmg. Hugh McRae of Aitkin, Alexander Frazer of Duluth, F. H. Halt of Brainerd, Geo. F. Rigby of Cloquet and L. F. John- son of Spencer Brook, have also been | recommended by the major for similar positions, The *Duluth, Mississippi River & Northern road, running from the Mississippi river to Hibbing, has filed its first annual report with the rail- road and warehouse commission. The road was completed a little over a year ago, and is in a flourishihg condition. ‘The total mileage is but thirty-six miles. The gross freight earnings for the year were $129,483; passenger earnings, $7,178.89; ex- press earnings $106.04; telegreph tolls. $237.21. Total gross earning, $137,006.06, The taxes on the same, figured at 1 per cent., were $1,370,06, ‘The Herald-Review 1s in receipt of a copy Of the first issue of C. E, Colby’s paper, the Barnesville Recora. Mr. Colby starts out in a manner that indicates future success. The Record is neatly printed, well edited and fairly well patronized. Charley is a good printer, an experienced news- paper man, industrious and energetic, and the people of Barnesville will be serving their own best interests by giving him a liberal support and aid in the upholding of a newspaper that will continue to reflect credit upon the community in which- it is pub- lished, ‘Che Herald-Review wishes Mr. Colby unlimited success. MERITORIOUS ENTERTAIMENT. A Large Audience at Village Hall Listen to a Dejightful Program. The Herald-Review regrets that it has not time and space today to do justice to the splendid entertainment given at Village hall last evening under the auspices of the pupils and teachers of the Grand Rapids public schools, ably assisted by Misses Pal- mer and Nichols of Duluth. Every number on the program, which was unusually large, is well deserving ot special mention, The hall was filled by 8 o’clock, and every available inch of space was occupied when the cur- tain rose at 8:30, while many people | turned away unable to gain admit- tance, The .exercises throughout by | the pupils displayed caretul training on behalf of the teachers, and demon- strates that the schools of Grand Rapids have been entrusted to a most competent corps of teachers. The violin solos by Miss Clara Palmer of Duluth, were received with marked appréciation and the encores de- manded responses after each selection. Miss Nichols was warmly applauded at the conclusion of each of her piano solos. A reception was held at the hall after the close of the program, by in- vitation of the seniors, and two hours were spent in dancing. Refreshments were served. Qualification of Teachers. A bill has been. introduced in the state legislature to amend the law relating to the qualifications of teachers in public schools. The bill provides that for the second class they must have secured final standing from a state high school of the first “clase or | normal school in the subjects of arith- metic, English grammar, geography, history of the United States, civa government and physiology. For th, third class the applicants must hav, certificates from the state high schoo; board on the subjects required of the second class, said salary was paid from time to time would make an interesting and ex- citing chapter, and: since it has been called to our attention we will “tip” the process off to others who may employ it with perfect safety and per- haps some profit. It was our custom in those unhappy days to keep a close tab on the business end of that unre- hable institution, and when a collec- tion was made and the wherewithal for our ‘nourishing and warming” was not forthcoming, an interview tollow- ed, wherein we generally threatened to administer a public horse whipping to the managing Moose in case of de- fault on on his part, and it never tailed to produce the desired effect . Tetes We took him as a hired man.—Moose. ‘That’s a hot one! A hired man.” What withering contempt! He classes us as a plebian; an artisan— one who actually worked for a livel- hood. To be thus referred to by one who has attracted the attention ot public men in two nations—one who was dispatched under authority of law as criminal extraordinary from Eng- land to Australia—by one who has served the great state of [lnois at Joliet, and again the state of Wiscon- sin-at Waupun—this, indeed, 1s more than one man should be called upon to bear, 5 oh 9 But this is not all, nor yet the worst. We quote again from the same high autnority : All that we can do at the present time for this occurance is to make an abject apulogy to the people, not only of Grand Rapids, bat tue entire county, for having, been guilty of warm ng into life a serpent. which. true to all characteristics of reptiles, is’ ready to. sting and poison upon all occasions. The Herald-Keview will offer no apology for the construction of the above homely paragraph because it is n no wise responsible therefor. We quote verbatim from the Magnet. Granted, however, that the statement is leterally true—that the Herald- Review man is a_ serpent, well equipped with “characteristics,” and 1s most energetic in the poisoning and stinging business—the Magnet Moose isn no manner responsible for these things and he had no need whatever to make apology. ‘The Herald-Re- view rises in his defense and under oath will state that the said Moose ex- erted his best endeavors to absolutely starve this affiant to death during the time we were his hired man. He did his best to terminate our existence and that he failed to succeed may be charged entirely to our serpentine ability to crawl out of very uncomfort- able quarters unharmed. Many another, under similar circumstances, would have despaired, grown desper- ate and suicided for «relief. If there are any apologies due for our exist- ence, we are the delinquent, not the Moose. Perhaps we should have died to accommodate him, but whether that would have been the proper course may be an open ques- uon. fo toek Among other high crimes and mis- demeanors of which the Herald- Review 1s alleded to be guilty by its First street contemporary is the fol- lowing: That sheet [Herald-Review] is under cer- tain obligations to stand by the commission- ers under any and all cireumstances. Any derliction of his duty would cause a severe rebuke from those whose colar he wears. Without questioning the authority that permits of the annihilation ’ of every rule of syntax that old Murray made, and jumbles together the gend- ers without regard to the modest de- mands of the first grammer depart. ment of our public schools,,we need only reply that the commissioners are possessed of an independence and in- tegrity that has successfully withstood the “approaches” of the Moose dur- ing the past four years, and on_ three different occasions. they have been sustained by the district courts against the adverse opinion of the Magnet. It may be that the courts, the com- missioners, the county auditor, the county attorney and the Herald- Review have entered into a conspiracy to defraud the taxpayers and put the Moose on the bum, but very few peo- ple will regard it in that light, ae wy And ali this was brought about in- nocently enough. ‘The Magnet started out two weeks ago to deceive the public as_ to its solicitude for the |. dear taxpayer. The Herald-Review knows that the “senior editor” ‘of the Magnet is a very dishonest.and un- worthy person, having; no sympathy whatever with the .cause of public economy, and only prates upon these topics when he has been disappointed in some undertaking calculated to filch the. taxpayer’s treasury. He tned te put up a job with the Herald- Review whereby the county would be compelled to pay two prices for print- ing; he privately advised the county commissioners to raise the salary of the county attorney and “when that advise was followed he publicly con- demned the action; he tried to induce Auditor King into a conspiracy to de- fraud this paper and the public—and when at last all these fraudulent un- dertakings failed, he. appears as a re- former advocating retrenchment in public expenditures. sh ay & In a very plain and unsympathetic manner the Herald-Review tore the mask away and revealcd the syco Dr. Jyckeland Mr. Hyde of Grand Rapids in life-size proportions and characteristically perfect. This paper tried hard not be offensively personal, refraining, as it now does, from men tioning many things that should find no place in the pleasant repartee of professional friends, but if the Moose should ever again so far trespass upon journalistic etiquette as to refer to this master mechanic as a “hired man,” the Herald-Review will feel impelled to print his life history down to the present day—and if that is done we venture the prediction that the Moose will wish he were a hired man per- manently employed in the lower re- gions long betore the ijast chapter is reached, New Furniture Store. The bnsiness announcement of Richardson & Stevens will be found in a nother column of this issue of the Herald-Review, The announcement is made that they are now prepared to supply the people of Grand Rapids and Itasca county with anything in the line of furniture that may be de- sired. Everything in the store is new and has been selected with a_ view to Prices have been made upon their goods that will sell them, and Messrs. Richardson & Stevens should enjoy a prosperous trade from the _ start. In addition to a full line of household furniture, they will carry a large as- sortment of wall paper. It will pay the public to watch their announce- ments in these columns from we ek to week. Died.
