Sulson, Postoffice building, Grand Rapids: ! The Herald-Review, ‘Two dollars a year, MISS CLARA LOUISE THOMPSON. At Village Hall, Grand Rapids, Thursday, October Fourteen. Miss Thompson has a reputation as a public entertainer that extends throughout the United States from ocean to ocean. As an elocutionist she Shas no superior. Says the St. Paul Globe: Miss Thompson reads the dialogue, assuming the characters. Co-inci- dent with the reading the pictures appear representing the characters in the attitude suggested by the lines. With the fading away of one exciting incident another takes its place, and for nearly two hours the interest is continually kept up. The soft voices of the lovers and gruff voice of the old business mangives Miss Thomp- son an opportunity to display, her great dramatic ability as a reader. The story of “The Chinock’’ is this: Arthur Rutherford, a young Eastern man, has gone to Denver, where he has made acquaintances among min- ers, and on account of his good humor and jollity nickname him ‘The Chinook.” When the mine, which figures in the plot, is discovered, it is named ‘*fhe Chinook’’ in his honor. Rutherford is part owner of the mine, and while in the cabin with his part- ner, has adream in which he sees his father in financial straits and the girl he loves in trouble. He goes back East and finds his dream to be true, his father’s business affairs at a crisis and his brother, on account of whose crooked deeds the younger brother was compelled to go West, is pursuing Jennievie, the girl of the dream. “Phe Chinook” — offers the miue to aid his father, but Lhe brokers decide that itis insufficient and the elder brother is called in. He declines to advace the money needed by his father, and advises him to assign. ‘Ihe Chinook” at this point receives a telegram from the West offering $500,000 for the mine. The elder brother returns later, and his father upbraids him for his sel- tishness. One word leads to another, and the villany of the elder brother some years before is revealed. Jen- nievie, who has been caught in the couservatory and has unwitting over- heard the conversation, discovers that he has been doing ‘The Chi- nook” a great wrong, and her love for him finds its expression. The author leaves them in an engaged state, a very happy and deserving couple Miss Thompson will appear at Vil- lage hall, on Thursday evening, Oc- tober 14, under the auspices of the Ladies of theMaccabees. Admission; 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. ITASCA COUNTY FAIR, Held at Grand Raptds, Minn., October 7th and 8th, 1897.

The entire stock is selected from the very latest styles and will be found super- jor in every way to any display of millinery goods ever brought to Grand Rapids. Wheat and Silver Of late years we have heard a great deal about the fraternal relations of wheat and silver—how they are com- ; mercial twins, affected by the the same conditions and holding precise- ly the same rato. If you want to see where wheat and silver go together— or potatoes and farm peoducts generally, for that matter—go on the Saint Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth Short Line and see the pros- perious farms and well established communities, indicating that the people have the silver and gold and paper money, while the other sellows have the farm products. Always-pro- ductive, the farms along this line are always successful. And this line is the people’s popular route, which should always be taken between the Twin Cities and the head of the lakes, because of its service and facilities.
