Mrs. Carrie Woodruff, who recent- ly resigned her position as stenograph- ;;| er at the Itasca Mercantile company’s store, left Friday morning on a visit to her home at Sauk Rapids. Geerge Cox’s black eye is not due tg the usual cause. He came in un pleasant contact with a pevey at Co- hassett the other day—accidentally. We haye not seen the pevey. Grand Rapids has not been over- run with comedy companies this sea- son; and the attraction billed for »|Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next should call out a good house, Ex-Clerk of Court Wade Blaker is going into the clucken business on an extensive scale.

He will be absent about two months.

The justice then remitted the fine imposed and Karns paid the costs, $15 for his release. Special Agent E. Bender of the In- dian bureau, arrived in Grand Rapids this week to look over the Chippewa reservation with a view to making recommendations to the department relative tothe cutting of dead and down timber. The people of Grand Rapids learned | with sorrow of the death of Warren Pendergast at the home of his father in the southern part of the state. Mr. Pendergast had charge of the experi- mental farm at this place for more thana year and had made many friends in Itasca county. Harnessmaker Emil Litchke has purchased thesstock of goods, in his line, carried by the Itasca Mercantile company. Mr. Litchke has estab- lished. ah enviable reputation in Itasca county for turning out first-class work at reasonable prices, and with in- creased facilities and a better paying business he will be able in the future to give even better satisfaction than in the past. The three men held in jail, charged with obtainlIng’ money under false pretenses from the Itasca Logging company, were rele this week by order of the county attorney. The men had_ been hired at Minneapolis ie work on the logging road of the a See | friends. A company and the amount of their | fares wag advanced to bring them to Deer River. Upon asrival they re- rused to work for the Company, and the arrests followed. : Angus B. Clark, an old-timer of these pinenes, was in town this week feeling like a four-time winner. He had just been advised that by the will of his father, who died about ,a year ago in Michigan, he had fallen heir to $1500 cash and a valuable tract of Michigan land. The Aitkin Age reports that “a subscription paper 1s being circulated for the purpose of raising funds to make an exhibit of Aitkin county pro- ducts at the state fair. About $100 has been subscribed, but it will take* about this much more to make a good showing.” What will Itasca county do this year in regard to the matter of making an exhibit at the state fair? Miss Jessie Polly, erstwhile of Ait- kin, but now a teacher in the Minne- apolis public schools, arrived in town on Tuesday evening from Grand Rap- ids, where she had been spending a part of her vacation with her sisters, Mrs. L. F. Knox and Mrs. A. P. White. She 1s the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. DeLaittre, and will re- main here a short time before return- ing to Minneapolis to take a course in the teachers?’ summer training school.—Aitkin Age. Itis announced from Deer River that the people thereaway demand a lady teacher and have signed a peti- tion requesting the removal of the present incumbent. ‘his is the way the loquacious News tells it: ‘The reason for the request of the removal of Mr. Woodruff is not known, un- less 1t be simply the desire to have a lady teacher. There is not said to be any charge entered against Mr. Woodruft as to his conduct, ability or system of conducting a modern school room of pupils; but the curiosity, the expectation of seeing something differ- ent from the usual every-day person during the next term of school, seems to be the prevailing sentiment—we may say, sensation, as the move was actuated mostly by women.” COMEDY AT VILLAGE HALL. Abt & Montalien’s Comedy and High Grade Vaudeville Company. This pleasing. company 1s booked to appear at Village hall next Tues- day and Wednesday evenings. It is conceded to be one of the best com- panies of the kind today on the road.

Alb please attend. H. E. Ricuarpson, Secretary. Married Mr. Charles F. Hastings of Minne- apolis and Miss Edith Doyle, of Grand Rapids, were joined in the bonds of wedlock at the home of Charles E. Aitkin, brother-in-law of the groom in Grand Rapids, on Mon- day evening, August 2, 1897, by Rev. D. A. Mackenzie. The interesting ceremony was a quiet affair only a few friends and relatives of the con- tracting parties being present. Mr. Hastings 1s well known in Grand Rapids, having held the posi- tion of day clerk at Hotel Pokegama during the past year. Muss Doyle had been a resident of Grand Rapids for two years and her fmends were only limited by her acquaintance. Mr. Hastings has recently assumed the management of Hotel Irwin at Hib- bing. Hes a first-class hotel man of experience and will make a succegs of all his undertakings. Death of Mrs. 0’Donnell. Last Wednesday morning the sid news was published announcing the death of Mrs. J. P.O’Donnell. While the final summons was_ pot unexpect- ed, the final reahzation that death had summoned awaya good and dutiful wife, mother and friend, caused many hearts to mourn in Grand Rapids. Mrs. O’Vonnell had suffered much during the past several weeks, and her recovery was hardly among the possi- bilities. After a residence of over five years in this village no lady was more popular among her large circle of Possessed of those graces of mind and heart which combine to make an endearing personality and a true christian, Mrs. O’Donnell is indeed sincerely mourned by all who knew her. The funeral services held at the Catholic church at 7 o'clock Thursday morning, conducted by Rev. Father Gamache, were largely attended. The remains were taken to the former home of the deceased, Drummond, Wis., for interment, to which place they were accompanied by all the members of the family. Mrs. O’Donnell was 43 years of age. Besides her husband, J. P. O’Donnell there are left to mourn her loss, a daughter, Mrs. T. R. Pravitz and four sons, John, Charles and William of Grand Rapids and C. J. O’Donnell of Duluth. eek GUNN YS. FULLERTON. Representative Gunn's Vigorous Treatment of the Game Warden Endorsed. In his answer to Executive Agent Fullerton’s promiscuous -charges con- cerning certain citizens of Itasca coun- ty relative to alleged violations of the game laws in Itasca county, Hon. D. M. Gunn evidenly hit the nail squarely on the head, as the following news- paper comments would indicate: Replying to Fullerton’s charge that the present legisiative representative from this county aided and abetted the illegal killing of moose and deer out of season, the Hibbing Sentinel says: Hon; Dan Gunn, the legislator referred to inthe above, in a communication to the Minneapolis Journal, indignantly deniesthe allowed to communicate with one another. as apm : Third—Answers shonld be brief, | but must be complete in logical ex- position and gammatical structure. The answers in mathematics show the process as wellas the result in each case. Fourth—In grading candidates due weight will be given to the character of manuscript in regard to penman- ship and neatness of arrangement of answers. Fifth—No certificate will be grant- ed a person who shall make a general average of less than 70 per cent for third grade. 80 per cent for second grade, and 90 per cent for first. grade or a minimum of less than 60 per cent in any one branch. Sixth — Certificates will not be granted to persons of questionable an aati-| : pay a penny an man hears another one of the association’s cusser is supposed to pay People who use the St. Paul luth Railroad, or pics Da oe Be as itis generally known, ne 68 called upun to use profanity, because * they have such a good time that they do not feel called upon to 8! This road is always up to date in t matter of equipment and facilities generally, running fast trains for the accommodation of the business man oe and the tourist, to and between St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, West Superior and other important points, aspersion upon his character so recklessly cast by this fellow Fullerton. Mr. Gunn says: “There has never been served upon my tables an ounce of moose meat at any time, and so long as I remaia in charge of the house there never will be. I would as soon serve a mess of snakes upon wy table as the flesh of moose.” Dan’l also intimates ratnuer broadly that as a truth distorter An- anias couldn't play second fiddle to one Ful- lerton. We have enloyed an acquaintance with D. M.@unn for lo! these many years, and have yet to hear of theman wno could successfully question his veracity. GAME LAWS FAIL. Virginian, Virginia. Neither the new game law, nor Executive Agent Fullerton, appears to be very popular in the vicinity of Grand Rapids and Ely. As we understand the game law, it was passed for the purpose of preventing those who live near where game abounds from killing any when they want to, soas to save it all up for a few men who come out from the cities in the fall of the year and who do not think game is proper food for the common people living in the backwoods. In this part of the state the law fails both in its real object, as noted, and in its alleged intention--that of protecting the game. The people who kill all kinds of game, whenever they wish, ,re- gardless of law, belong to two clas who are ignorant of the law's provis' those who wilfully break them. The game law is a failure as far as Northern Minne- sota is concerned. FULLERTON GETS A ROAST. Brainerd Tribune. Representative D.M. Gunn of Grand Ra- pids roasts Executive Agent Fullerton of the state game and fish commission to a com- plete brown ina recent; communication to the press of the Twin Cities. The agent of game commission in an interview with the Minneapolis Journal stated that he had every reason to believe that moose meat was served at all times of the year upon the ta- bles of the Grand Rapids hotels and that game wardens had been withdrawu from Itasca county because no convictions could be secured after violators of the law had been arrested and that seventeen instances ofthe kind were on record. Mr. Gunn brands the stuatement as an absolute false- hood. HOT STUFF. Carlton Vidette. State.Game Warden Fullerton accuses, through :he columns of the Minneapolis Journal. among others, Representative D. M. Gunn, of Itasca county, of violating the game laws. Mr. Fullerton ie now wardin’ off “hot shot” flred at him by a still hotter Gunn from Itasca. A COLD STORAGE BUSINESS. Aitkin Republican. Game Warden Fullerton has been com- | plaining to the Minneapojis/Jousnal that prominent citizens of Itasea county are in the habit of encouraging illegal huntingand fishing, and Hon. D. M. Gunn has replied with a “hot roast” of the game warden and his deputies, intimating strongly that great- er caution has been taken to bag the’ game of the hunter than to prohibit the slaught- er of game, for the purpose, itis alleged, of enabling the game warden to do a thriving cold storage business in St. Paul. Public sentiment, says Mr.Gunn, strongly favors the proper euforcement of the law, and the game warden will be assisted if he but makes earnest effort to do his duty. A DEER RIVER KICK. The People Above Pokegama Dam Enter a Vigorous Protest. There is at present a vigorous up- roar being made by the lumbermen and farmers along the Mississippi river above Pokegama dam, against the way in which the reservoir sy s- tem is handled, says the Deer River paper. Preliminary moves have just begun in earnest, and before a week passes every citizen within the limit of the water’s damage may be appealed to for assistance, and it is presumed that all so interested will do their ut- most in furthering the move for a rad- ical change in the reckless manner in which the system is managed at pre- sent. He’s After Them. The Cass County Pioneer of Walker appears to be after the county commissioners of that new county from the following: “The commissioners allowed P. H. McGarry’s bill of $500 for services, hotel bill and expenses on county or- ganization, We do not need to make any roar about this. The simple statement of the fact is all that is ne- cessary in such cases,” As an addendum to this piece of history we would'say that the pay- ment of this bill will be stopped. Teachers’ Examinations< The first teachers’ examination of this year will be held in the public school building at Grand Rapids, ‘Tuesday and Wednesday, August 17th and 18th, beginning at 8 o’clock a. m. No private examinations will be given except in cases of unavoidable ab- sence from the regular examinations.
