The smiling countenance of Neal Hickey has been belnnd the Glad- stove office desk during the absence} of Manager Farrell this week. | If you don’t dance, just buy a ticket for the firemen’s dance anyway, and show the bovs that you appreciate their efforts for the puplic safety. Mel. Johnson spent a portion of last week visiting among his many frends in Grand Rapids. He 1s now located in business at Ely. Rev. Father Gamache returned from Hibbiug last evening where he spent several days assisting the ladies of the church with a fair that has just closed E, J. Farrell is_ expected home this evening from Minneapolis, where he has been in attendance at the grand review of the K. O. T. M. of Minne- sota. Judge €ard ,of St. Paul was an et nval last evenitg.

Ong of these will be at Brainerd, June 28; ariother at Aitkin, June 2g; the third at Duluth, July 1, and the fourth at Fergus Falls, July 7. County Treasurer A. A. Kremer has been receiving bushels of rentit- tances during the past two weeks, the tax-payers undertaking to get in by the first of June toavoid any addition- al penalties. Judge O. H. Stilson received his commission as postmaster of Grand Rapids on Monday of this week. His new building will be ready for oc- cupancy in a few days when the post- office will be removed thereto. W. J. & H. D. Powers are giving considerable attention to the Colum- bia bicycle this season, and combining judicious advertising with the many ex- cellent qualities of that wheel it should stand first among the riders of Grand Rapids. Miss Addie Chisholm and Miss Lena Paul returned from their visit at Hibbing last evening. ‘They were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W.C. Barrett while there, and they are both enthusiastic in their praise of Hibbing hospitality. The Herald Review is pleased to note that Charley Colby’s paper, the Barnesville Record, is receiving a generous ‘patronage from the people of that-village and that he contem- plates enlarging upon the :amount of _|matter to be printed at home here- after. If the people of Grand Rapids propose to celebrate the glorious Fourth it is high time the subject should be introduced for considera- tion. It might be just as well, per- haps, to forego the usual festivities this year, as celebrations are rather expensive luxuries and money is mighty scarce. B. R. Lewis hasbeen in town dur- f}ing the past week. Bi. reports that there are many people in Minneapolis and elsewhere that he has been who contemplate coming to Itasca coun- ty this season and taking up lands for actual settlement. General inquiry has developed , | the fact that the late frosts have done no considerable damage to crops in Itasca county. The gardens have been injured to a limited extent among such plants as tomatoes and the like, but as it is none too late for replanting the present set back will not be felt in the fall. Superintendent Pendergast says that no damage was done at the Experimental farm. At the meeting of the Presbyterian church directors held Sunday evening last, it was decided to give Rev. D. A. Mackenzie a call to Grand Rapids. The reverend gentleman has created a very favorable impression among the people here both in and out of the church, and the Herald-Review 1s | pleased to announce that he will ac- cept the call. Drs. McComb and Davis arrived from Duluth Monday evening and were accompanied to Commissioner Lydick’s farm hy the genial commis- sioner and Chas. Seeley where they caught rock bass, etc., for two days, They returned to town yesterday eve- ning and again this morning started out in quest of other desirable fishing grounds. Aitkin Age: “N. R. Tibbetts, the original Aikinite, the man who home- steaded the land upon which our thriving village 1s now built, visited his brothers, J. W. and J. A., here last Tuesday, having arrived from Grand Rapids the evening before. ‘The old- timers were glad to see Mr. Tibbetts, and his presence recalled the scenes of former days more vividly than words could do,” ‘The Rev. F. A. Allen of Cloquet desires to express his “hearty appre- ciation of the uniformly generous and ready loan of a very choice collec. tion of photographs of many of the nicest people at Grand Rapids, for reproduction at his lecture on ‘Early Britain’s Invaders: The Story: of Seven Kingdoms,’ to be given here shortly.” The reverend gentleman has given this lecture at Cloquet and elsewhere and invanably has found an appreciative audience. Chairman T. A. McHugh of the town board of Bass Brook, was in town this week. He reports that the township authorities have just com- pleted the erection of a bridge across the river at the old Blackwater cross- ing, about one mile above the county bridge. This will make summer travel by team between Grand Rapids and Deer River pussible. The bridge is 1a feet long, 12 feet wide with a railing 3 feet high and cost about $100. Remember _ the firemen’s dance to- morrow evening at Village hall. Tickets only 50 cents. ‘The proceeds will be used to defray the expense of sending delegates to the state tourna- ment to be held at St. Cloud. Every citizen should be interestec in the proficiency of the department, and there will be no better opportunity to show public appreciation of the vol- | unteer firemen than by attending their dance Fnday evening and helping the good cause along. Aitkin Age: “James Murchie, an apolis, was in town last Saturday, to | the pleasure of his hosts of friends here. Jim is the same jovial, big- hearted boy as of yore, and delights to give his old bachelor companions ad- vice to follow in his foot-steps and en- ter the relm of matnmonial bliss. Jim is employed by the Bovey-De Laittre Lbr. Co. as cruiser, and had been do- ing some work on Pine river, and hav- ing completed it was en route for his | home in the Flour city.” Attorney A. Y. Merrill does busi- ness as regularly in Itasca county as does the court itself. He appeared in the first case ever tried at Grand | Rapids and there never has been a term of court held here that he has | not been a conspicuous expounder of the law and fact, and the present | term is no exception. He arnved Monday evening and has been kept busy ever since. Mr. Merrill is per- sonally popular all over the northern part of the state. Possessed of genial manners and professional ability much above the average, his extensive | practice 1s well deserved. George Dewy arrived from North | Dakota the latter part of last week, | where he 1s farming on quite a large scale. George reports having bought a quarter section of land near Devils Lake and has rented an adjoining quar- ter, the greater portion of which he has planted to wheat. He reports that prospects for a big crop this sea- son in North Dakota were never } better, and he expects to make more money on_his farm than he could at logging in Itasca county. Frank Vance is down from his northern ranch. With his usual pronounced enthusiasm he speaks in glowing terms of the prospects in view for the season of ’97, and assures us that the frosts of last week have done no damage. He is just now en- gaged in the novel enterprise ot in- cubating wild duck eggs. He says that the average wild duck lays from 19 to 25 eggs, more than can be hatched out by one hen, and so he has gathered upninety dozen extras and them on his own place for the accom- modation of visiting sportsmen next fall. The land department of the North- ern Pacific railway has issued an at- tractively lustrated pamphlet on their northern lands. Its object is to induce immigration and to inform intending Immigrants on the resources of our prolific lands. The subject matter is introduced in the tollowing words: “If one were to ask an old resident of Aitkin or Itasca county to what his sec- tion of Minnesota 1s adapted he would unhesitatingly reply,and truthfully tco, ‘root crops and hay’. ‘There is no place in the great Northwest where both can be raised and more bounti- tul results have been and are annually obtained.” DISTRICT COURT. The June Term Opens With a Small Calen- dar---Grand Jury Grind. Judge G. W. Holland, accompanied by Official Stenographer Moody, ar- rived from Brainerd Monday evening and Tuesday morning at 10:30 court was opened for the June term. The grand jury was called and seventeen members responded and took their seats. The remaining six had been } able to present sufficient excuse to be passed by vhe court and Sheriff Toole was ordered to summon others to | take their places. The jury was in- structed as to their duties and au- thority and are occupying the office of | superintendent of schools. Some in- dictments have been found but only one arraignment has yet been made. O. W. Kingston pleaded guilty to larceny in the 2nd degree. No in- dictment was found against Tom Rowley, charged with implicity in the stealing of corned beef. The first case on the calender was No. 18, Miranda Descent et al. vs. W. F. Sims et al. The case is one in which a tax tittle is to be tested. C. L. Pratt appeared for plaintiff and C. C. McCarthy and F. F. Price for the defendant. W. C. Gilbert and Frank Smith are the parties really interested. The de- fendants were permitted to amend their answer. Some minor court eases were presented, and the first jury matter was that of Lena Jacobi ys. Thomas Kelly—a claim for wages alleged to be due. The jury was out all night and was finally descharged ut noon today, having reached a dis- agreement. The-case of F. F. Price vs. C. H. Marr went to the jury just before adjournment fur the noon hour today. It is expected that the term will be concluded by Saturday next if not before. Please X. Through some oversight Bro. Ber- nard failed to send a copy of his new Pilot to the Herald-Review, notwith- will incubate them into life and keep | affairs of the association as its officers. COMING COUNTY FAIR A General Interest Should be Taken Early in the Season. APPEAL TO THE FARMERS They are Especially Invited to Attend the Agricultural An official call is published in an- other column of this issue of the Her- ald-Review for a meeting of the Agri- | cultural association to be held on} June 15 at Village hall in Grand Rap- ids. Circular letters have also been sent out by Secretary E. A. Kremer | inviting the farmers to attend the meeting and take part in its delibera- tions and have a voice in the selec- | tion of officers for the ensuing year. Db. W, Doran has acted as president during the past two years and he has done good service, giving freely of his time and money tor the advance ment of the county’s interests through this important agency. The county exhibits at the state fair during the years that he has served at the head of the association have made a most creditable showing and have resulted in giving Itasca county the most effectual and lasting advertisement that it has ever had. This work, so auspiciously begun, should be con- tinued with increased vigor each year, | and to do this the farmers must take an active interest in the matter of fur- nishing their best products of the soil. Without their earnest aid nothing can be accomplished. It is to be hoped, therefore, that our farmer friends will attend the meeting to be heid on the 1sth and select the most energetic men to be found to look after the | | | The dates for holding the county fair will be fixed at that meeting and other matters of importance will come up for consideraton, In the absence of the former secretary, it will be neces- sary for the new officers to go over the books and make the required report to the state authorities so that | this county may receive its just share of state aid as allowed by law to as- sociations regularly organized and paying yearly premiums. IMPORTAN TICE The Itasca County Agriculturial Association Will Hold a Meeting June 15th.

Philbin, general superinten- tendent of the Duluth, Superior & Western railroad, discredits the fre- quently printed reports of* the pur- chase of the road by J.J. Hill, s the Duluth Herald. He says he ba heard nothing concerning the report- ed change in ownership except what he has seen in the newspapers, and he believes if Mr. Hill had come into possession of the property that be would have heard something about it.
