The official proceedings of the meeting of the board of county com. missioners, held on Monday and Tuesday last, and the annual financial statement of Itasca county will be published in next — week’s Herald- Review. Now that the Magnet’s scribe and his assistant are wading into the mys- teries of chemistry, as evidenced by their brilliant effusion relative the Herald-Review in last Wednesday’s issue, it 1s sincerely hoped by our citizens and our contemporary’s agon ized readers that in their researches in organic chemistry they will dsi cover some substance that they can have placed in the vacuums in their craniums, which in the average man 1s stored with gray matter, and that the discovery may be speedily made so that some Wednesday in the near future they can surpnse our citizens by issuing a number containing there- in an intelligent idea. So prayeth we all. W. I. H. Day, of the J- W. Day Lumber Co., Minneapolis, who has spent the past few weeks in Grand Rapids looking after the logging inter- ests of his firm in this neck of the woods, departed for home _ this morning. Mr. and Mrs. Pouliet were. tender- ed a surprise last Monday evening, when about fifty of their neighbors and friends assembled at their home and indulged in a good, old-fashoned house-warming. Music and cards, fol- lowed by a toothsome lunch, beguiled away a few pleasant hours. August Johnson, the tailor, has moved his househould effects into the up-stairs of the Knox store building, lately occupied by Mrs. Geo.

The ball masque given on the even- ing of St. Patricks’ day by the La- praine Odd Fellows was’ a splen- did success, many _ niaskers par- ticipating.

An oyster supper was served at midnight, and all attending report having had an enjoyable time. County Commissioner Chet Robin- son, of Deer River, was in town sev- eral days this week attending the meeting of the county board. . Mr, Robinson is also recorder of the vil- lage of Deer River, and says that the reports that that village will not-be permitted to build their proposed jail is false, stating that the village had not been advised by the state board of charities that unless fire protectlon was afforded a_ permit would be with- held. The jail is to be built at once, and fire protection will be secured by means of a tank similar to the Grand Rapids water-works reservoir, which chased, and our sister village will have ample fire protection. These im provements were decided upon at the time the jail project was also consider- ed. Few villages of the pretentiuns of Deer River have such improve- ments, and it is to be congratulated upon having live, energetic and enter- prising members on its village council. Mr. B. F. Johnson of Minneapolis, will deliver a lecture in Village hall here next Tuesday evening, his sub- ject being “Whither Drifting” Mr. Johnson isa very forcible lecturer and handles his subject in a masterly style. The topic 1s sufficiently inter- esting to draw a big house, and the Herald-Heview goes on record with the statement that all will be amply repaid for attending. The admission is 50 cents. Everybody should turn out, D.W. Doran and Jno. McDonald returned last Tuesday might from their visit to the samitarium at Hot Springs, Ark. Both gentiemen pre- sent the appearance of having been much benefited by the treatment they underwent, and they assert that the healing qualities of the famous springs ofthe southern state are marvelous, and that a month’s treatment at Hot Sprinps cannot be measured by filthy lucre, so beneficial is it, and if one is to judge by the ruddy, healthy countenances of our returned pilgrims, their assertions cannot be con- tradicted. The St Patrick’s Day entertainment held at the Village hall last Thursday evening, under the auspices of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, was greeted by a packed house, and the several numbers on the program were most admirably rendered, and were appre- ciated by the audience in. a marked manner. Mrs, O. L. Mather’s violin solos were good; she handles the bow strongly and delicately, and is intelli- gent in her interpretation of the music before her. This was her first appear- ance in public in Grand Rapids, and her selections were greeted with hearty plaudits. Misses elocutionists; Miss M.
