Why take second best, when the best costs no more. The Columbia B ycle Is the best bicycle in the world; the Hartford is sccond best. Why? Simply because the Pope Mfg. Co., were the first bicycle, builders in the country; have built more bicycles than any other firm; know, absolutely, more about bicycles than’ anybody else; use the best material in thefworld, made especially for them, and are bound to keep in the lead, in bicycle quality, at any cost.

C. H. MARR, THE cLoTHIER ——|— —|—_— | — HARMONIOUS CONVFNTION Delegates to the State and Congressional Democratic Conventions Elected The largest, most enthusiastic and most -harmonious county convention" ever held in Itasca county forthe election of delegates to a congressional or state convention was that of the at Village hall. Thirty delegates were present. At the Democratic county gathering of two weeks ago five were present—a fair comparison of the political senti- ment in Itasca county. The conven- tion was called to order by Chairman D. W. Doran of the county commit- tee, who read the official call. Mr. E. J. Farrell was elected chairman and A. E. Wilder was chosen secretary. The regular business of the conven- tion was the selection of delegates to the two conventions. To the congressional convention the following gentlemen were design- ated: D. W. Doran. A. D. Brooks, John Rellis, E. C. Kiley, Thos. Hen- nessy and A. E. Wilder. The state delegation consists of the following: Dr. George Gilbert, ‘T. M. Brady A. B. Claire, D. W. Doran, A. D. Brooks, John Rellis, E. C. Kiley, A. E, Wilder, and T. H. Hen- nessy. Mr. E. J. Farrell was elected chair- man, and R. J. Donohue, secretary. An executive committee of seven members was chosen, as follows: E. J. Farrell, R. J. Donohue, E. C. Kiley, ‘Thomas Glover, Dr. Gilbert, John Rellis, and C. W. Robinson. The delegates will all be present at the conventions leaving here Mou- day morning. Philosophy of a Humorist. Rovers J. Bard: tte philosophises in his humorous way on the modern “short-cuts” to education,in an ar- ticle on ‘‘My Kindergarten of Fifty Years,” sin the May Ladies Home Journal. “A peddler,” Mr. Burdette explains ‘‘ comes along; ‘Want to practic medicine? It will take you four, maybe five,years, of the hardest kind of boiling at thisold dust-yard of a school; you come with me and I'll sell youa diploma, good anywhere, that'll cost you only ten or twelve weeks’ loafing and a hundred dollars.’ First thing we know we have a doctor in the class. Another fakir comes along: tinds a boy who wants to be a preacher: can preach a little, but he would like to be a theologian.: ‘All right,’ the fakir says, ‘got a degree of Democrats on Thursday of this week | ma VILLAGE HALL TWO NIGHTS Monday and Tuesday June 13 and 14 The entertainment to be given in Village hall next Monday and Tues- day evening isone of the most en joyable ever offered. Newspapers generally say that itis superior to that giyen by the average vaudeville enter- taijment. Yet this is but-one of the attractions that may be enjoyed. An attraction that would be a star card in any theatre, the Magniscop is the feature of the bill. This movin picture machine has no superior, an thescene exibitediocludes many view of local intrest. Probably the mos t sensational picture of the sort ever shown here is a rescue at Atlantic city.. Everyone becomes excited over this view, and cheers are evoke’ when itis shown. ‘I'wo pictures of the crowds on the beach and a viewof a board walk are also excellent scenes. The Marquette Mining Journal says: ‘Young’s Magniscope company gave a very pleasing performance last night. ‘The pictures are all new here and were the best that were ever shown in the upper peninsula. The pictures of the battle ship Maine were immense and brougt forth great ° ap- lause.”” mye Tee pictures of in- terest-syas the U. S. Kegulars leay- ing Sin raneison going to war.

A SAD ACCIDENT John Hasty and John Ball Accidentally Drown in Trout Lake, This community was shocked and greived Friday morning when word was brought from Trout lake by D. W. Washburn that John Hasty and John Ball had been drowned in the lake on Thursday evening. The unfortunate young men had been in town Thursday. ‘hey were employed on Dunning’s drive and owing to the “hold up” of the logs from an adverse wind no work was being done that day. About 5 o’clock in the afternoon, Messrs, Hasty, John and Henry Ball, Murphy and Haley started for the camp. It was 7 o’clock in the evening when the party started to cross Trout lake in a row boat, They had progressed about 20 rods when a heavy wind came up and endangered the safety of the frail craft. After a few minutes maneuve- ring the boat was overturned. The occupants jumped into the water. D. D. right hear in the desk; cost you fifty dollars and an oldsermon.’ Boy gets it, frames it, and hanges it up in hisstujy. Wears his D. D. around in public, proud as the crow with a pea- cock feather. You might think these fellows would get a misfit sometime, Hasty and Ball were expert swinnners and started for shore. Under ordin- ary circumstances they would have experienced no difficulty in accom- plising their purpose, but Trout lake is almost ice cold at all seasons of the year, and the swimmers soon. became but they never do—never. - A fity- dollar degree fits a fity-dollar man like the paper on the wall. Same way with all the ‘short-cut’ honors. The fakirs are good tailors; they can—and Sesese se se sesesesesese2 do do them full justice, they do—mak their wares to fit their customers ey- ery time.” chilled “and took ca When about ay between the boat and the shore }he two boys went down and were not seen again by their campi- ons. A large party of friends have been dragging the lake yesterday and today for the bodies, up to the hour going to press no favorable reports have reached towm, Our Soldier Boys. Tne soldier boys who have been sent to the'south and who will soon embark for Cuba, have many hard- ships awaiting them. They will all encounter dangers unusual to modern warfare, and many of them will meet death ona foreign field, under alien skies. Jauntily they have marched forth at their country’s call, strong in their sense of duty, to fight for their flag in a quarrel not their own but in humanity's common cause. They have gone in patriotism and pride, leaving behind them patriousm and prayers. Inthe days to come they will find much to burden their buoy- ant spirits. There will be toilsome marches beneath a torrid sun; there will be fierce fighting against the most barbarous foe that ever put an army in the field, and whose savage blood is made more vengeful still by the hate of race, the resentment of fancied wrong and the manifest des tiny of ultimate defeat; there will be the discomforts of camp in a climate when summer holds more than a hint of hades; they will endure the ptiva- tions of hunger and the pangs of unsatisfied thirst; in the welcome waters cf spring and stream will lurk the poison placed in their pellucid depths by the treacherous hands of of dastards, and they will drink to their own destruction; they will find the forests infested by repulsive and deadly reptiles and the plains swarm- ing with venemous life; the mephitis of miasmatic swamps will lay its blight upon their bodies; they will find the fearful fevers of that insidious island not the least formidable of the foes they will have to face. This. cam- paign will not be the happy holiday amid strange scenes that some have anticipated. It is to be war in its grimmest guise—relentless, pitiless, implicable, to the deadly and distant end. But there will be compensa- tions. There will be bnefand blessed sj z f respite from the forbidding jeatures o war’s sterner side. There will be days of delightful dreaming in a re- gion of romance. There will be ten- der hours in tropic twilights of sensu- ous softness, and splendid evenings when the matchless moon of that languorous latitude fills the heavens with glory and gives her beauty to the earth with a bounty the pulseless North can never know. Rare birds will make rarer melody for enraptur- ed ears, amid the luxunant leafage-of tropical trees where their radient plumage is set like jewels against the green. The senses will be ravished with the redolence of wonderful plos- soms. The tinkling notes of guitars within the alluring shadows of fan-like foliage will thrill the heart as never yet has martial tune, and out in the moonlight the music of the mandolin will woo the stranger to sweet mad- ness. And some night when Nature smiles in most voluptuous mood, when the ore of fragrant cigars glows inthe gloom like the red heart of passion, the soldier boy will recline in a hammock of woven grasses and dream of a sweetheart at home while he looks loving hes into the laughing eyes of a Cubaa coquette, or gazes down, spell-bound and speechless, and with an uneasy feeling in his breast, into the sombre orbs of a more serious senorita. The Coming State Fair Accopy ofthe premium list of the Minnesota State Fair for 1898 has been reaeived. Muinnesota’s state fair is being carefully managed, and, as ought to be the case, is constantly growing. It will be held September 5-10 inclusive upon the state fair grounds, midway between the Twin Cities, as usual. The premium list has been liberally revised. Special at- tention is given to the live stock ex- hibits, and efforts are being made to secure the best possible types of all breeds of each class of the domestic animals. It will be worth much to the farmers of the state to go to the fair and study these animals; see them judged by expert judges, and thus learn their characteristics and qual- ities. There are increased premiums in the dairy department, the woman’s department and _ in both the agricul- tural and horticultural departments. One thousand five hundred dollars are offered for county exhibits. The main building will be made more at- tractive than ever and the machinery, honey, forestry and mineral exhibits will each be given the careful atten- tion merited by these important in- dustries. Theamusement program is to be greatly strengthened as well. ds the exhibition features. ‘ The business men of St. Paul have contributed a purse of $5,000 fora pacing race and the business men’ of Minneapolis a like amount for a ‘trot- tng race. The contnbution of these sensational events make it possible for the Agricultural Society to anounce:by far the best amusement progam ‘éver witnessed at a state fair. Send a -pos- tal card request to E. W. Randal, Secretary, Hamlin, Minn. and a copy of the premium list will be mailed to you. r Excursion to St. and.
