The stores of Grand Rapids are all closed today. Sugar beet seed for free distri bution at Becfelt & Mather’s. C. H. Lydick came up from Mora, Minn., this week with a shipment of produce. Misses Lena Paul and Addie Chis- holm are visiting frieuds at Hibbing this week. Mrs. W_ P. Brown Sr. of Minnea- polis, mother of Dr. Brown, 1s visiting at the home of her son. ‘The Willing Workers will hold a special meeting Monday evening at 8 o'clock at the home of Mrs. J. F. O’ Connell. Dr. Russell was called to Deer River last evening to reduce a trac- tured arm for nine-year-old Charlie Fairman. Rey. Father Gamache is in Hibbing and nsequently there will be no serv at St. Joseph’s Catholic church tomorrow. Those who desire sugar beet seed should apply at Beckfelt & Mather’s store. It 1s yet time to plant the seed, | but a week hence it will be rather late. Drs. Ehle and Russell have made many substantial improvements about | the hospital this season and they will soon have the most beautiful place in Grand Rapids, Rev. C. V. Gamache united in matrimony last Saturday evening Mr, J .R. Wallace aad Miss Tillie Reno. ‘The happy pair immediately went to housekeeping in the groom’s already furnished home. John Bonnalhe and Arthur Grant engaged in an altercation last Sun- day which resulted in several severe gashes inflicted upon the head and face of Grant. The latter was taken to Ehle & Russell’s hospital where the wounds were sewed up, and the former took to the woods and has not since been seen. Three supreme court decisions re- | cently handed down were taken up from Itasca ¢ounfy. A. Y. Merrill bers vs. Gilbert case, and Attorney Price succeeded in having the case of Porier vs. Itasca County commissions returned for retrial. ‘The most signal victory was that of Attorney Pratt in the big tax case. , The Magnet had a weak little word of remonstrance to offer the Herald- Review in its issue of yesterday, anert this paper’s congratulations extended to the “senior” last week. Boys— boys!—remember the fate of he who grafteth among _ strangers today. We may conclude to get along without you, Rev. D. A. McKenzie who arrived from Auburn. N. Y. last week, ;| preached his first sermon at the Pres- byterian church on Sunday last. He created avery favorable impression upon his audience, and the church directors may conclude to give him a call to this field of labor. A meeting will be held at the church at the con- clusion of services tomorrow evening when the matter be will decided. As will be seen by the official pro- ceedings of the commissioners, printed in another column of this issue the board has let the contrat for building amile and a quarter of road in the vicinity of George Afleck’s farm to Thomas Ward for $1.75 a rod. As the present road is not on the line and the owner of tie land proposed to feece in his propesty, it was absolutely necessary to do the ~work. Commis- sioner Wilder will see that it is proper- ly done. The Rainy Lake Journal of last week reports that ‘‘W. B. Holman, of Grand Rapids, 1s in the city. He 1s owner of several gold properties on the American side near the town, and is now here to make arrangements for development of these properties, of which The Journal will make further mention later on.” Mr. Holman has already received some very flattering offers for his gold properties from Winnipeg parties, and it 1s likely that’ he will make a sale before returning to Grand Rapids. Frank McCormick returned from his trip to the gold regions last eve- ning. He 1s very favorably impressed with the country on the Canadian side, and may conclude to engage in the hotel business Waubacon, a town on the Canadian Pacific railroad, located about one hundred and thirty miles east of Rat Portage. Mr. Mc- Cormick visited Winnipeg during ns absence, and reports that it is the liveliest city he has seen for many a day. He will decide in about a week as to his proposed location at Wau- bacon, When Dave Anderson, of the Carl- ton Vidette, becomes so confounded tired looking at the Carlton county stone piles that are to be seen from every window of the Vidette office, that he can’t stand it any longer, he just turns the printery over to the devil and seeks relief in the ferule fields of his Itasca county farm on the shorés of the beautiful Praine river. In testimony hereof read the following from the last issue of his paper: “The editor of this paper, armed witha pick, shovel and a few other farming utensils, departed tor Itasca county, leaving the devil to go italone. If everything in this paper suits you, well and good. If not go to the devil, and dont bother the farmer.” Firemen’s Dance. The dance to be given by the flre- menon June 4 should be well at- tended. The dance is to be given for the purpose of raising money to send three delegates to the State Fire As- sociation, which is to be held at Lit- tle Falls, on June 14,15 and 16. It is necessary that all fire departments should he represented at the state convention, in order to secure their pro rata of the money to be distribut- ed by the various insurance compan- ies in porportion to the amount of in- surance carried in their respective towns. Itis the duty of every citi- zen to lend his full share of assistance in this matter, and the dance an- nounced for the 4th should be the most generously patronized of any ever given in Grand Rapids. It Is a Change of Editors. “No newspaper has been more sceptical of the gold existing in these northern wilds than the editor of the Grand Rapids Magnet in this county, but of late he has changed his tune, and instead of ridicule and disvar- agement heretofore common tothe columns per, we find the following ina recent “The new El Dorado of Northern Minnesota is becoming famous throughout the United States and some of our citizens who have the “gold fever” might do well to look the matter up before departing for British Columbia.” The change has taken place, sure enough, Mr. Journal, but not through a change of conviction. A new editor isnow at the helm of the Magnet. Mr. Thomas J. Austed, a bright and brainy young graduate of the Herald- Review, is illuminating the pages of our contemporary with the bril- liant flashes of his mind,and this fact will account for the many improye- ments that are recently so apparent in the Magnet.

The ten-round contest advertised to take place last evening at O’Con- nell’s gymnasium, between Tom Mur- secured a médificatron of the verdict mm the case of Timothy Burns vs. the, rayand “Pig Iren” was postponed until this evening. Mrs. E. J. Luther will return to her home at Deerwood Monday. Oscar L. Mather made a business trip to Duluth Thursday. M. R. Stevens is now working for a large lumbering concern at Ashland. ‘There were twenty-one old soldiers in the parade today. Services tomorrow at the usual hours in the Presbyterian church, conducted by Rev. McKenzie. Mr. and Mrs George Cox received word this week that a bouncing baby boy had been born to Mr. and Mr: Chas. Campbell in Florida. W. F. Sims came down from Deer River this morning, where he has been superintending the erection of his new residence building. He will move his family to Deer River next week. The concert given Wednesday even- ing by the Grand Rapids male quar- tette, composed of Messrs. Bueneman, Craudall,Carson and Murphy, assisted by Misses McCarty and Paul, was at- tended by a large and appreciative audience. A boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Wilder at the home of John Mc- Donald in Grand Rapids on Tuesday, May 25. A peculiar coincident is the fact that Mr. Wilder’s birthday oc- curs also on May 25. He beat the boy into this world just 387 years. Mrs. L. Kimball of Minneapolis, sister of Mrs. E. 8S. Stevens, arrived here to attend the funeral of Mrs. H. E. Richardson. She returned home this morning in response toa telegram announcing the death of a relative in Minneapolis. George Robinson writes from Spo- kane that anyone now living in Itasca county had better stay right here. He says that there are over a thousand tramps in the city of Spokane, and that they are daily driven out by mounted police. George is coming back, State Grader of Schools Rankin, of Minneapolis, arrived in Grand Rapids | on Thursday evening and spent Fri- day grading the rooms of Central school. Mr. Rankin spoke iu the most flattering terms of the work that Prof. Baskerville has done, and declared that it is in truth a model school in ever’ way. District court convenes on Tuesday next. ‘There are 32 civil cases on the calendar and 1criminal case. Pras- ecuting attorney McCarthy will have ten or twelve criminal cases to bring before the grand jury. The case of George R. King & Co., against the county, isa claim of $1,327 tor alleged damages while erecting the court house, is a matter of considerable im- portance and wil! attract some atten- tion. Died Mrs. H. E. Ri son, in Grand Rapids ay 26, 1897, age 30 years. No death that has ever occurred in Grand Rapids caused such general sorrow as did that of Mrs. Richard- son. She had been very ill for about three weeks with kidney trouble, but the anxious relatives and friends hoped against hope that skilled medical care would finally triumph over the grim reaper, until Wednesday morning at 4 o’clock, when the patient sufferer was reheved of al! earthly pain and the soul went out and beyond the blue rum that marks the visible confines of mortality. The death of those who have rounded out the allotted years of men does not bring the same sor- row to the entire commnnity that is felt when one in the very prime of life and filled with earthly hopes and am- | bitions, is taken away. And so the death of Mrs Richardson. She had been marred about 3 years; her hus- band had recently bought a comfort- able little home here and the happy { couple had settled down with the futurebefore them all bright and en- couraging, surrounded by friends and neighbors almost of a life-time. But the lamp of life went out and the hap- py future that was planned for ther lives a few brief days ago must now be | looked for in the Great Beyond. Mrs. Richardson had lived in Grand Rapids about six years, coming here with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Stevens from Aitkin, and the’ high esteem in which she was held was testified to py the large concourse of people of all classes that attended ‘the funeral yesterday afternoon. The funeral procession that followed the remains to Itasca cemetery was by far the largest ever seen 1n Grand Rapids, and more eyes were dimmed with tears in the Presbyterian church, as the pasters spoke the last consoling words of prayer, than has before been seen since that little house of worship was erected. The services were con- ducted by Rev. Trealor of the M. E. church and Rev. D. A. McKinzie, tne Presbyterian pastor. Arbutus Re- bekah lodge, of which Mrs. E. S. Stevens, mother of Mrs. Richardson, is a prominent member, attended the funeral in a body, as did also Wabana lodge K.of P.,of which Mr.Richardson isa member. The pailbearers were members of Wabana lodge: H. D. Powers, T. C. Glover, F. J. Murphy, A. A. Kremer, George F. Kremer, and George W. Sawyer. There are left to mourn the death ofa true and loving wife, daughter, sis- ter, and friend: the husband, father and mother, brother, Fred J. Stevens, who lives here, and a sister, Mrs. E. J. Luther of Deerwood, Minn. Rainy Lake Gold Fields via Port Ar- thur and Rat Portage. ‘The route to Rainy Lake and Seine | River is now open via Port Arthur: and Rat Portage.

Men, however, never think that they need rest, and if they are not invalids they are old before their time. Every man should have a season of rest and recreation, and the best place to spend it is along the | line of the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, whose many and matchless summer resorts offer many charms. The Du- luth Short Line, as it is most general- ly known, 1s the favorite route between the Twin Cities and Duluth, West Superior, Taylor’s Falls, Stillwater and other points, because of the modern service it gives, and it runs through a country famous for its many natural beauties and chains of beauu- ful lakes.
