Vote today for the interests of our public schools, rather than for the ad- vancement of selfish interests and the gratification of personal spite. County Attorney C. C. McCarthy jeft on Wednesday to visit the seat of war at Washington, D. C. absent ten days or two weeks. The question is; Who would be elected a member of the school board if Dan Doran held a six-hundred-dol- lar board-bill mortgage ou the Herald- Review? ‘The Ladies’ Aid society of the Pres- byterian church raised $237 during the past year for the current expenses of the church and improyements on the building. The subject of the sermon jn the Presbyterian church tomorrow morn- ing will be “The Influence of Chnis- tian Citizens,” and in the evening, «How Character Is Built.” H. H.

He will-be} Jacob Mohr has laid the founda- tion for a business block just east of Johnson’s blacksmith shop on Third street. He expects to have it teady for occupancy in about a month, The juniors of the Epworth League gave an ice cream social at the old | postoffice building last evening that was a decided success and a very en- joyable affair for both little ones and | big ones. If the person who found a silk um- berella by the roadside between town and the Lafond homestead on the Split Hand road, will return the same to the Herald-Review office, a suitable reward will be paid. If the editor of this paper is guilty of the multiplicity of moral,” mental and several other kinds of defects as stipulated and set forth inthe Magnet, who should be chosen a member of _| the school board, provided, of, course, all these things be true and correct? Richardson & Stevens have just completed the interior and exterior of their new furniture store building on Leland avenue, and it is the handsom- est business building in Grand Rapids. ‘They will be ready for business next week. An ice cream social will be given in the old postoffice building on Kindred avenue by the ladies of the Willing Workers society on Saturday next during the afternoon and evening. A variety of flavors will be served. Don’t forget the date—Saturday, July 24th. Freeman & Gray and Clay & Smith sluiced them logs, about six millions, through Pokegama dam this drivers seems to agree that it will be no easy job to make a clean drive ow- ing to the high water, yet Dave Con- nors says he’ll take them through to Brainerd flying. Any of our citizens who desire to .| keep posted on the career of the erst- ! while Magnet Moose should subscribe for the Cass County Pioneer. The Herald-Review man has become iden- tified with that old, reliable publica- tion, and the Moos¢ cannot lung _re- main at the head of public schools in a community wherein we are interest- ed. The Magnet says that the Herald- Review speaks of Mr. Brady as an ob- ject of charity. The Herald Review This paper simply referred to the fact that the ar- gument of friends to that eftect should not hold good; that there should be no association of the school fund and the poor fund, and we repeat it, and will stand by the proposition a_thous- and years. The Magnet intimates that the Herald-Review was paid to print an interview with Prof. Rankin concern- ing the schools of Grand Rapids. In- asmych as the Magnet expressed the }same sentiments as were contained in \the Herald-Review interview it fol- | lows that if that paper was not paid it must have been because the party in- terested didn’t consider its influence worthadam., If the very refined and gentlemanly old lady who sent a communication to the Magnet this week signed “Cit- izens,” will please come again with a | few foot notes to explain what was in- tended and what the purpose, the Herald-Review may condescend to a discussion of the subject of mud. In the meantime, however, we must pos- itively decline to entertain the issue |while it is cloaked in such mystic language and inelegant expression. August Chamier of Saginaw, Mich., was here this week on a_visit to his old-time friends, E. A. Kremer and F. A. King. Mr. Chamier had been to Minneapolis in attendance at the great Elks’ meeting, and improved the opportunity to visit his friends at Grand Rapids. He was royally en- tertained while here and expressed himself as highly pleased with this northern region and has faith in its future prosperity and greatness. Elija Pnce was one of the Itasca county loggers who arrived from Min- neapolis this week. Mr. Price is con- fident that the season of ’97-8 will be a profitable one for loggers, and_ his firm is preparing for extensive oper- ations. He says that the lumber mar- ket 1s better today: than it has been for three years and that the retailers tributary to Minneapolis will consume the entire supply of this season’s imills. Let us all pray that he is cor- rect. in town yesterday morning when he critter of the streets had devoured the branches of one of his growing shade trees directly in front of the residence. It was a tree that he had long cared for and guarded with the solicitude of a fond parent, and to see it thus ruth- lessly destroyed was more than he could submit to in silence. The judge is emphatically in favor of the entorce- ment of the herd law. A pocket-edition of the deluge has been showered upon the just and the unjust alike in northern Minnesota the past fortnight. ‘The results of the ex- cessive precipitation have been very marked, especially so in the newly- settled districts where the new roads have been fiooded, bridges and cor- duroys washed out'and other heavy damage done. The smaller streams While the general opinion of Judge Stilson was the maddest man j found that some miserable, homeless} have been coverted into veritable tor- rents, have broken cver their banks and been on a general rampage. Luckily, however, the’soil in this sec- tion of the state will stand great mois- ture, therefore the crops have only been benefitted. Much inconvenience has been felt in the mail train service because of washouts on the Duluth, Superior & Western, but the damage along the line has been repaired and the trains are again running on = sche- dule time. The waters are receding at this writing, and we may hope to pursue the even tenor of our ways for a time at least. WE’RE A BAD, BAD BOY. The first page of Wednesday’s issue of the Magnet was devoted to a_per- sonal consideration of the editor of the Herald-Review anent the position tak- en by this paper relative to school af- fairs. We are forced to admit at the outset that the article is absolutely un- answerable and surpasses anything of a similar nature that has ever been called to our attention. It was writ- ten by our old friend, A. G. Bernard, who was very much exercised lest the Herald-Review man should identify his ear-marks therein. As a matter of precaution he had the printer copy from the original manuscript and ex- hibit specimens thereof to sundry and divers persons. The product was in Bernard’s inimitable style, and could no more lose its identity than could the Moose himself so long as he re- tains his prominent proboscis and mis- shaped head. * ra The conglomerate eruption’ starts tout with a sickly sentiment that 1s_ its stock in trade on all occasions and reads a lecture on “personal journal- ism.” It assumes that someone has been abused and snivels all over the pitible object that has been left a wreck in the awful train of destruction that follows in the wake of the Herald- Review. Then it opens up the man- hole of its sewer and pours forth upon the clean, white paper the mouthings of an imbicile and knave combined. ie Coming from the source which it did and being of so low an order of journalism the Herald-Review will not dignify it by a reply. This paper will never again pollute its pages by any unnecessary reference to the pit- ible ex-convict who has been run out of this community through its efforts. From time to time we may find oc- casion to deal with him in Cass coun- ty and we pledge him our word of honor that he shall receive the same treatment at our hands there that has been meted out to him at Grand Rapids. * * * Those who are ostensibly conduct- ing the Magnet at the present time are in no manner responsible for any- thing that appears in its columns. They want “copy” and anything that may be supplied will find publication no matter from what source it might come. Its policy is dictated by that refined and scholarly citizen and_poli- tician, an Doran. He holds the mortgage, and we expect any day to see our contemporary appear advo- cating ‘as what” free silver “16 to 1 and no compise widout the insent of anybody.” * oe ‘The Magnet stigmatizes the editor of the Herald-Review as a mental and moral degenerate, “all that is rotten, base and corrupt,” a “tramp who came into this community with all of his household effects mortgaged.” If these be facts, and for the sake of a comparison and because they are un- worthy of contradiction, the character- | ization may stand,—in what position must this leave the publishers of our worthy contemporary? If a brainless, characterless and penniless tramp has been able to build up and pay for an opposition paper in three years, drive his original competitor out of business and out of the community, put a_ six hundred dollar mortgage on the Mag- net plant and leave the whole outfit on the brink of bankruptcy, what would a good man have done, and where must the brains and_ business and moral stamina of the Magnet fel- lows be located?

Leave at Herald-Review office and receive a suitable reward. Greek Girls. While the Greek girl of today is an odalisque in the morning and a Paris- ienne in the afternoon, in olden times she was confined toa garb of white, it being more fitted to modesty and beauty.» The Greek girls of yesterday or today cannot hold acandle to the pretty girls dressed in white who flock to the many summer resorts along the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Du- luth Short Line. The summer girl is there in all her glory, and so is her brother, her father and her sweet- heart, getting the best there is in life by enjoying an outing at one of the many places along this popular line. With so many attractions to offer, it is no wonder that the trains of this line, finely equipped and up to date, | are always crowded.

He “Plugs” for an Editor’s Gore and Seeks an Opportunity for Justifiable Homicide. The Herald-Review has been given carte blanche to “roast” Dan Doran to a rich brown turn—Dan being the authority therefor himself. The only qualification or reservation is the mght reserved by the grantor to immediately, upon the deliverance of said “roast,” deprive the grantee of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Like all good citizens who have aided very effectually to increase the population of Grand Rapids by raising a family, Daniel is very much interested in school affairs and being of a different opinion to the Herald-Review as ex- pressed in the last issu2 of this great family journal, he at once ordered his manager to withdraw all patronage from this printery and publication, and just let the damthing” die of starva- tion. ‘Trustee Brady did likewise. Ordinarily this ought to discourage most anyone and be the means of causing a sudden and unceremonious exit from the community. However, other citizens advised us not to be- come discouraged and not to leave on the next tram; that Daniel and Thomas might relent and reconsider the matter in a more chantable spint. The Herald-Review has been in busi- ness nearly three years, and upon looking over our cash account we find that not a ten-cent piece had been credited to the account of Daniel, and Mr. Brady had contributed the muni- ficent sum of $5 on subscription. After reviewing the situation in a _business- like manner the publisher has con- cluded that he can pull through some way minusthe moral and financial support of the house of Doran. ‘Ihe other evening Daniel hailed the Herald Review man on the street, and point- ing his index finger in a Llood-curdling manner at the editorial head, he said in words electric with cloq “Anytimeyouroastmel’Il !!t* “All right, Dan,” we cheerfully re- plied, “you’ve been looking for it a long time. You need a choice trm- ming up about as badly as anyone ever did, and you'll get a dose that will last about ten years. But your permission in the premises was entire- ly unnecessary. The Terald-Review doesn’t care what you think or think you think.” Thereat Daniel bvrst forth in a torrent of vituperation that would have been laughable had it not been so inelegant and vulgar. On a former occasion we found it necessary to explain to Daniel ina public way that he was in no manner held re- sponsible for the utterances of this pa- per and anything it said or left unsaid was none of his business whatever. But since he is the father of so many children it may be that he feels a sort of paternalism for everybody and everything in the village. Now, Daniel may be all right running a hotel and saloon, but he’s too strong toruna newspaper. We desire to impress upon his mind,—and trust a repitition will not be necessary—that the Herald-Review was established without either his advice or assistance; so it has been conducted and paid for, and so it will remain until some one comes along with the required amount of capital to buy out the present pro- prietor. We desire to impress upon his untutored mind that it is upon the Magnet which he holds a_ chattel mortgage for $600 and not the Her- ald-Review. AS OTHERS SEE US A Stranger’s Impressions of Grand Rapids and Its People. X RAY OF PUBLIC OPINION Our Stately Public Buildings, Busi- ness Blocks, Beautiful Lakes and Pleasant Homes Command the Newcomer’s Interest, Natural pride generally gives a peo- ple of any town a fairly good opinion of themselves and their native baili- wick, providing there is the usual amount of local patriotism stored within their breasts. Grand Rapids has, as is well known, its full quota of this necessary pride. We all have excellent opinions of our embryo city. But the thoughts of that prince of poets, Burns, come to us and we are unconsciously repeating, O, wad some power the giftie gie us ‘To see oursel’s as ithers see us: It wad frae mony a blunder free us And foolish notion. With the idea of ascertaining what “ithers” do think of Grand Rapids and its citizens, the Herald-Review man accosted a new arrival in town the other day and asked him his un- biased opinion and his first impres- sions. He readily gave them. With glances in different directions, as if |. he would on theinstant take in all the views, bunch his opinions, and hand them to the newspaperman in con- densed form, he unburdened himself thusly: ‘The tirst thing that actual- ly surprised me when I alighted from the car was to find such a metropolit- an little burg nestling up here among the pines—an ideal health resort. But, as I’m not here for my health, I soon found myself interested in other, though no more important, matters. These great, tall pines command one’s attention first. They sigh with the moaning winds as if regretful of the death and departure of others of their kind. They give a tinge of color to the place that no other trees could furnish; they stand as a guard against the cold north wind, the rays of the summer sun, and fain would protect the cottages beneath their spreading branches. Then the lakes, seemingly located for the accommo- dation and delight of man. Grand, old Pokegama, queen of them all, re- minds me of the almost incomparable St. Lawrence river and its Thousand Islands. The numerous new settlers that are dropping in here surprise me, too. Their coming means something; it will develop Itasca county, an em- pire in itself, until your district will astonish even its own inhabitants. One cannot but feel the importance of the Rapids when one sees the el- ectric glimmer and the fine system of waterworks, the magnificent hotels, } the substantial business” blocks ‘and the cosy, homelike residences where peace and plenty seem en- throned. The classic outlines of your stately school building and superb county court house are striking. I have seen nothing to compare with them in any of the towns of thestate, and but two cities boast as good build- ings. And I’ma crank on good roads, too, and you are to be commended for having them here. Nothing like good roads to help develop a new country. As a newcomer within your gates I wish to say that, as one of the army of strangers who are apparently com- ing and going all the time, I appre- ciate the hearty, whole-souled wel- come that greets one here; I find it is characteristic of these northern Min- nesota towns. The hospitality here soon wears away the rough edges of strangeness and makes one feel a part and parcel of the place. When my- time comes to depart—and I regret to think of it—I assure you that my feeble voice will be raised in a clear, high key to sing the praises of Grand Rapids and its good people.” Trade - to our customers We are still making up t A Satisfactory Indicates that we have given satisfaction since beginning business here and as a consequence we are well pleased with the results... ...-.-- hose ~~ BIS Itasca Tai First class Suits At prices ranging from 2 Upwards. loring Co., S.
