The ladies of the Willing Workers society concluded that they did not care to assume the responsibility of giving a dance 9n the sth of July and accordingly they invited the firemen to take up the matter, which they have done. The ladies will furnish refreshments. George S. Libby proved up on his Blackwater homestead last Monday before the judge of probate. Mr, Libby has one of the best stock farms in the county and for two years he conducted a quite an extensive dairy thereon. He expects to resume the business next season. There is no longer any doubt of the opening of the reservation for the cutting and marketing of dead and down timber. Action in the matter will be taken in a few days by the de- partment, and H. E. Graffam will be appointed as overseer. Mr. Graftam is thoroughly competent and will ably fill the position, Rev. D. A. MacKenzie, graduate of Auburn seminary and licentiate of Geneva Presbytery, N. Y., was or- dained by the Presbytery of Duluth on Monday last, and will be installed pastor of the Grand Rapids Presby- terian church on ‘Thursday evening, July 1st. Rev. F. J. Barackman of Sandstone will preach the sermon and give the charge to the new pastor, and Rev. W. J. Johnson of Cloquet will address the people. If it were not for the fact that the Herald-Review man owns a team of horses that he turns loose at night to graze upon the highways and byways of the village, this paper would raise its voice in righteous indignation against the non-enforcement of the As it 1s, we don’t propose to say a word, having unlimited con- fidence 1n the ability of our aldermen to handle this and all other matters that properly belong to their depart- ment. j at Village hall, which should be the The invitation given to hear the Children’s Day exercises last Sunday evening, was responded to by a full}. house. In view of the brief prepara- tion, the program as carried out did much credit to the children. While it might not be wise to specify, when all did so well, yet we cannot help saying that the recitations given by Rae Potter and Espie McLennan were so splendidly rendered as to call forth the admiration of all present. Mayor A. D. Powers, Dr. W. P. Brown and Esquire F. J. Murphy re- ported from Aitken Wednesday noon, where they had just arrived by row boat from Grand Rapids. ‘The party were to leave that evening for Brain- erd. The shoot took place Thursday and Friday, and by this time the party is coming home via Leech and Winnibigoshish_ lakes. They — will likely rejoin their families about Tues- day evening. RIGHTLY SUSTAINED Governor Clough Sustained by the Supreme Court in Discharging Will Nisbett. On Wednesday of this week the | state supreme court rendered a de- cision in the Will Nisbett requisition case. ‘The decision reads as follows: “The governor of a state has the power to revoke the warrant for the surrender of an alleged fugitive from justice at any time before he is taken out of the state. In a proceeding in habeas corpus on behalf of the alleged fugitive, if it appears that the warrant has been revoked, he must be dis- chargec, and the grounds for such action cannot be inquired.” Justice Mitchell rendered the opinion. It will be remembered that Mr. Nesbitt was arrested on an indict- | the pine tracts and iron ment procured in Chicago by a firm of wholesale jewelers that wanted to get him down there and compel him to pay the firm some money or give bonds for its payment. ‘The indict- ment charged him with having ob- tained credit by misrepresentations. Governor Clough first granted the requisition of Governor ‘l'anner, and issued the extradition papers, put be- fore he could be taken from the state he sued out a writ of habeas corpus and in the meantime the facts in the case were laid before the governor. After granting a hearing to both parties, Governor Clough revoked his warrant and retused to aliow Nisbett to be taken from the state against his will. The Chicago parties then ap- pealed to the supreme court, and the court sustains the governor. WILL CELEBRATE. Our Enterprising Firemen Have Provided Entertainment for the Fifth. When it became apparent that no move had been made by the village at large to observe the nation’s birthday im an appropriate manner, the patriot- ism of the Grand Rapids Fire depart- ment asserted itself, and as a conse- quence the following program was arranged last evening at a meeting held at Fire hall: At 10:30 a. m. a procession will form at Village hall headed by the Grand Rapids brass band, followed by the members of Huron Post, G. A. R., the Knights of Pythias in uniform, the firemen in uniform, and a long line of bicycle riders, who will proceed to Hale Lake park. In this procession all the people are invited to join, At the park there will be the read- ing of that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, and ora- | tions by prominent local speakers. There will take place an old settlers’ picnic, followed by boat racing, foot racing, etc. At 2 o’clock the festivities will be be transferred to the ball grounds on the south side, where a ball game will be played by two crack teams. This will be followed by several exciting bicycle and horse races. The boys will take up a collection, and in the evening the stars will be put to shame by a magnificent display of fireworks. A grand firemen’s dance will be given social event of the season. ANOTHER DIVIDEND. Trustee Baumbach of the Itasca Mercantile Company Pays Creditors $70,000. On Wednesday of this week Trustee Baumbach made another dividend payment to the creditors of the Itasca Mercantile company and the total has now reached $70,000 in payments during the past fourteen months. This is indeed a remarkable showing, when the conditions of business in geueral isconsidered. The statement of the company shows that during the past fourteen months there has been paid out for merchandise $103,- 868.71; the freight for that period amounted to $6,005.54, and the $70,000 in dividends makes a grand total of $179,874.25. The further fact is shown that of the amount paid to creditors only $10,000 has been contributed by the Hibbing and Mountain Iron branches. This speaks well for Grand Rapids, and shows conclusively that this is one of the very best business | places in Northern Minnesota. © A Challenge. ‘To the Hook and Ladder Company of Grand Rapids: You are hereby ; & Western, at Deer River. | build considerable road in North Da- | P. J. SHELDON, i RAILWAYS ALIVE. Much Building Is Said to Be Scheduled in Northern Minnesota and Dakota. That both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads intend to do a very considerable amount of railway construction in Northwest Minnesota and Northwest Dakota this year there can be no doubt, says the Minneapolis Journal. There is also no doubt what- | ever the officials may say when ques- tioned as to the reasons for this work that the fear of competitive roads, either on the part of the McNaught interests and their Manitoba govern- ment backers, or on the part of tie old Hines farmers’ railway, now con- siderably nearer a realization of its hopes than ever bcfore, or both, has been the immediate cause of this ac- tivity. There is no more real need of roads north and northwest from Cava- lier and Langdon, N. D., for instance, than there was a year .ago, or two years ago, and funds for building are no more plentiful, though construc- tion work is less expensive. There is | also no more immediate need of roads north of Park Rapids and east from Fosston to Duluth than there has been the past five years, excepting the need of scaring off competition that would be very disagreeable. During the last month several 1m- portant moves have been made by both the big transcontinental lines which warrant the belief that exten- sion in Northern Minnesota is a near probability. No one denies that President Hill will extend the Fosston line as soon as any move is made by a rival com- | pany which seems to threaten his in- terests in the carrying trade across mines of Northern Minnesota. Two weeks ago acorps of Great Northern engineers began at the end of the Great North- ern grade at Akely, eighteen miles north of Park Rapids, and has pushed north toward Leech lake. It is gen- erally believed that the road wil be extended up into the lumber woods near Red lake and be run perhaps to a connection with the jogging road enterprise projected by Shevlin-Car- penter & Co, At all events it will be run to aconnection with the survey for the Fosston extension. ‘The latter may not be built through to Duluth so quickly, but these moves will aid in rapid work on the Duluth line when- ever necessary. It still seems to be supposed that the Fosston- Duluth line need be run no further easterly than to a connection with the old Duluth & Winnipeg, now the Duluth, Superior This, of course, is tolly, and any line from Fosston east by the Great Northern must go clear to Lake Superior. The same is true so far as the Du- luth & Winnipeg connection 1s con- cerned, of the McNaught-Manitoba | e, which will not be permitted by Canadian Pacific railroad to use one | of its branches, which the old Duluth | & Winnipeg is. Col. McNaught must | therefore buiid to within twenty miles of Duluth. The Duluth & North Dakota, the farmers’ road, will be | able, on the other hand, to connect either with the McNaught or the Du- | Juth & Winnipeg, and is about the only hope for any future for the lat- ter. Such of these lines as may be built will cause much activity in North Minnesota. That the Great Northern intends to kota this year can no longer be doubted, aud it would seem from the unusual activity along the interna- tional boundary line that it fears the advent of another system and is de- termined to fortify itself against com- petition so far as possible. The Northern Pacific has been stirred up and is in earnest in the movements looking to new lines in the northern North Dakota counties. The Great Northern is already building from Cavalier and additional interesting moves will soon be made. The Du- luth & North Dakota also, if present negotiations are successful, will rattle some of the dry bones in the northern counties before another year. Paper Clothes.
