It was the third annual ball of the order in Grand Rapids. ‘Phe attendance was large and a most enjoyable time was had. Supper was served in the dining hall. Representatives of the D., S. & W. road were here this week looking up. a location for a round house. Grand Rapids always has been the proper division town for the TD.,S. & W., and now it begins to look as though the shops and round house would soon be located here.

Junior Warden Alexander Van Pragg of the Grand Lodge I. O..0. F. will arrive Grand Rapids next Wed- nesday and will attend the meeting of the local lodge that evening.

Callahan, western representa- tive of the “Singer Sewing: Machine Company, has been here during the week looking over the business done by the local agent, H.S. Huson, | durmg the past. year. He found everything in apple pie order, and complimented the judge on the large number of Machines that he sold dur- ing 1896. : Social events are coming along fast and furious and there promises to be no immeadiate’ termination thereof. On Monday, March 1, the firemen will give their annual ball, and it is needless to say that it will be well attended. The.firemen are appreci- ated by the general public, and are entitled to receive anything they may see fit to ask for. There ‘seems to be a feeling preva- lent about town that the Duluth. Su- perior & Western will extend its line westward early in the.spring. “Noth ing authorative from railroad officials so far as kao wn, general acceptance, and consequently tusiness men are inclined to feel that bimes are about to improve. Mrs. Solomon Johnson, whose’ husband was. so mysteriously as- sassinated near Pokegama lake about two yéars ago, was ‘here this fixing up some business affairs.

A good-sized’ immigration boom might be started on theis proposition, The accidental death of little Claude Woods should serve as ‘a lesson to | parents to be more caseful about bringing deadly ‘poisons into their homes.

The Moose has cost Itasca county } gnan average about $200 a'yeat in criminal and civil proceedings, of one kind or another ever since his advent to this community, and that’s more than he’s worth. So far this year the bill has reached $25, and he. hasn’t | fairly got started yet. The secret of all his trouble with public expense at- tachments, 1s easily discovered: He | is a coward and sneak, who does not hesitate to villify men as the mid- night assassin attacks his victim, and when discovered and exposed, .-he cringes like the cur that he is, and with a sycophantic whine he begs for public mercy. This is an old trick of old criminals, but one that will not serve to deceive the public. Invitations were issued last week for, the masquerade. ball to be given at Village hall by the committee of ladies who are paying for the village piano. The Herald-Review desires to call the attention of its readers .to the fact that this public undertaking was no small task for the worthy and enterprising ladies who have so un- selfishly .. labored to discharge the plano indebtedness, and it,it'the duty- of every citizen to aid. the’ project along. Itis to be hoped that the dance and supper to be given) on ‘Monday evening next will be largely Fattended and. that sufficient will be realized to. pay the last-note now due. If you don’t dance, buy a.ticket any- way, and thus contribute your share to a public benefit. ** Bound by an Oath” The beautiful drama, “Bound by an Oath,” will be put on the. boards, at Village hall on the 17th day of | March—St. Patrick’s day—by the Grand Rapids Dramatic company. Look out for one of the best plays ever presented in this village. PROGRAM | npon Of the Boston Grand far Week Commenc- ing February 15.

CAPTIVE SILVER GREYS. A Foxy Quartette That Appreciates the = Melodies of Music. ‘The. shrill shrieks that sometimes emanate trom the hospital are not uttered” by’ wounded patients, nor by maddened maniacs, neither are they caused by any use of the cat o’ nine tails. Instead, 1t has been learned, these piercing sounds are made ‘by four silver grey foxes Doc Ehle has been teaching how to sing. They are now known as the Silver Grey quartette and their progress in music and artistic vocalization during the past few weeks has been » truly ng. “A -comfortable and well mnéd home was built for these’ cun- ning captives on the Indian’ mound whom overlooking the Mississippi. , It is a corbodious stfucture with a floor area of about forty. jeet square. It is built of strong, smooth tamarack logs throughout even to iis underground cavern, which is floured. sided and partially ceiled with tanmarack. In this cavern one of the foxes usually lies (pretending to be asleep) while the others are frolicing and gambol- ing and cavorting around * upstairs Sometimes the others get in the hole, or cavern, but generally at least one of these bright-eyed beauties can be found upstairs gazing intently upon the front door waiting tor the doctor to’ give them their ‘singing lesson. The Silver Grey quartette makes quite an addition to the hospital property, forming, as it does, a portion of the grounds devoted to the museum and menagerie, the latter embracing repre- sentatives of nearly all the. animals that are known to exist in the upper Mississippi valley. ‘The foxes are now just one year old and they seem to deeply appreciate the earnest eftorts which the . doctor has been exerting for their advancement in the accom- plishments that attend music. When they hear’ ‘the’ thrilling thrum of his mandolin they: spring to their places, range :1n line, bow to partners, bal- ance all and wipe off their whiskers, as they. make their bows to their tutor. He gently leads them with his har- monious treble and they join in with perfect measure excelling even their master on the high notes. When he is temporarly absent they gather. to- gether daily and.go-through the ‘per- | formance upon their own account, | much tothe amusement of the hospital | patients who-know the cause of the racket. ‘The foxes would be a great addition to.a show company but they are too valuable to admit ot exposing them: to the accidents of traveling. ‘Fhey will continue to reside in. this free silver community as long as they show the disposition to be dunful_ and progressive.
