—— Brand Mavids HrerataeMReview City and Vicinity. NOTES OF NEWS AND PERSONAL. FE. A. Kremer visited St. Paul this week. The Magnet says—but pshaw; no- body cares what the Magnet says, The next meeting of county com- missioners will be held on Wednesday of next week. E. M. Bartlett was taken to Min- neapolis Wednesday while suffering from the effects of a severe attack of | grip: The friends of Judge Holman are pleased to find him again upon the streets, he having quite fully recovered | from his recent illness. Itasca Hive, Labies of the Macca- bees, entertained their friends last evening atK. P. hall witha card party and luncheoa. It would be wise for the citizens of Grand Rapids to see that the visiting legislators next Wednesday are pro perly entertained while in the village inspecting the Experimental farm. Our friend over on Leland avenue is very much exercised lest the acts of | the county commissioners at the regu- lar January meeting should prove legal and binding. The two-weeks-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Loiselle of Deer Rivor died this morning. Mrs. Loiselle is a sister of Mrs. Jake Mobr. The funeral will take place tomorrow, interment be- ing inade in Itasca cometery. ‘There was a pleasant social gather- ing atthe home of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. McCarthy last evening in houorof Miss Lena McCarthy, who has tendered her resignation as teacher in the pri- mary department of Central school. There will shortly be two vacancies on the teaching staff of Central school owing to the resignation of Miss Mc- Carthy and the continued illness of Miss Florence Hine. There are sev- eral applications for the positions but the board h’s not yet reached a de- cision. If you see a freaky-looking sort of chap about town with his head done up much after the fashion of an Egyptian bride with a leathery cuti- cle—tpat’s Tom. Glover. He is the result ofasix a. m. fire with the mercury 50 degrees below Swan River. Bust Monday morning the _ resi- dence of C. T. Glover caught fire from the kichen stove and in an incredibly short space of time was burned to th: ground. The entire contents and building were a complete loss, Mr. Glover being driven out in his bare feet. An insurance of $300 on the premises will pe realized against a loss of about $700. Frank Poepke desires to return thanks to those who so generously contributed to defray the funeral ex- penses of Godfrey Marschooski, whose death occurred at St. Benedicts hospital on Tuesday last, as the result | of exposure to the severe cold a short time ago. The mapy Grand Rapids friends of Mr. and Mrs. G. T. Ellis will daeply sympathize with them in the loss by fire of their farm house near Shoal lake, seven miles northwest of town. The entire contents of the home was atotal loss. The fire broke outin the early morning and the family found shelter at the residence of Geo. Affieck, half a mile tant. Mr. #ilis bas rented the Wallace cottage on Houghton avenue. John Anderson—my Joe John—the popular and conspicuous first lieuten- ant of Jake Kurtzman, was assaulted on. Thursday by a young woodsman nayned Fred Wagner. Before Judge Holman the pug pleaded gnilty as warrant and a fine of costs footed up a grand total of $15.20. It takes a charged in a five dollars and brave man to lick poor old John. The postmaster. in a neighboring town has posted the following rules: No letter will be delivered until they are received. letter or paper on the day you expect it, have the postmaster look in all the boxes and down cell:ralso, It ought to be there somewhere, and he likes to hunt for it to please you. If your friend don’t write, cuss the postmaster. He is to blame. If he telis you there isno mail tor you, put on a grieved expression and say, ‘there ought to be some.’ He is probably hiding your mail for the pleasure of having yon call for it two or three times a day. Ask him to look again.” 3 Mrs. M. Perreault is prepared to | give Medicated Vapor baths to ladies any afternoon or evening. The ladies ef Grand Rcpids are invited to call. For colds, grippe or rheumatism there is nothing so sure to bring speedy relief as a Medicated baths. : Perreault If you don’t get a PROCEEDINGS VILLAGE COUNCIL —OF THE— luge of Grand Rais A regular meeting of the village council of the village of Grand Rap- lds, Minnesota was he.d at Village hall on Tuesday, February 7th, 1899.

J., has eloped with Charles Davis, who less than a year ago was a tat- tered tramp, while Lizzie was a bloom- Ing rural beauty, who might have had her pick of the eligible farmer lads in the neighborhood, Her father is Court- ney H. Gordon, a rich farmer, whose place is three miles from Mattawan, N.S. Early last sjcing Davis, tattered, torn and foot weary, arrived at the Gordon farm and asked for work. He said he was of good family, but in hard luck, and he begged so hard for employment that Farmer Gordon hired him. Davis seemed to put his whole heart in the work he had to do about the farm, and the farmer liked him so well that he kept him employed until about ten days ago, when the farm work slackened and his help was not needed. Davis then tock up his residence at Keyport. After having worked for Gordon a few weeks Davis was able to buy him- self good clothes. Upon occasions he donned his best and made a very good appearance. The longer he stayed at the farmhouse the better he was liked by the Gordon family. It was noticed that Miss Lizzie often smiled upon him, and of late they had been seen strolling along the road together. They were seen so often together that the neigh- bors began to remark, saying “That Davis fellow seems to be shining up to his young mistress.” Nothing se- rious was thought of by the family, however, and the daughter was allow- ed to receive the man’s attentions. After leaving the farm Davis came down upon séveral occasions to see Miss Lizzie. One day last month he same to the house with a horse and buggy and took her for a drive. They went to Keyport and since then have not been seen, The parents searched the girl’s room and found that she had taken a sav- ings bank book which contained a cred- it for $100 at a bank in New Bruns: wick. HANDSHAKE OF THE WHEEL. Offspring of a Rotary Mind, It Takes & Circular Twist. The bicycle is responsible for a new salutation. From the wheel to ride has been evolved the wheel to shake. The new handshake is rotary, muscular and amusing; it is also growing popular. The bicycle handshake is here to stay, and neither war nor rumors of war | will diminish its popularity. The bicycle handshake is the natural offspring of a rotary mind busied 12 hours in the day with its own and other people’s wheels. If men and women ride wheels and talk little else but wheels it is only natural'that they should soon begin to think wheels, and thinking wheels makes the thinker look at life as a thing circular, speedy and puncturable. The bicycle face,’ the high and low gear laugh, the puncture- proof self-assv e and the chainless conversational ity are part and parcel of the Db: e era, And now the bicycle handsl adds the final touch of refineme To ride on the saddle of convention- ality you must grasp the right grip of a friend when you meet him or her, elevate your digital handlebar above your chin and push off into space with your hand and the hand of your friend | in tandem, describing a 100-inch sprocket wheel in the air, while you indulge in verbal scorching about the weather—and wheels. In other words you grasp the hand of your friend and attempt to wrest his arm out of its socket by making a human windmill of him. If you don’t indulge in_ the bicycle handshake—well, you’re not a wheelman, and that means social and business ostracism.—New York Jour- nal. STATE OF MINNESOTA, County of Itasca.

In one town, which shall be nameless, the trial of a man {who has been accused of shooting a neighbor's dog was about to begin. I found the court room crowded with lo- eal characters, each one of whom mounted at least two rapid fire guns, slick oiled and well loaded. Twelve of these fellows had been drawn for the jury, and as they swaggered around it was easy to see that they felt their own importance. By and by there was an agitation’ near the door, and in marched the judge. Seating him- self on the bench he rapped for silence, and, acting as his own crier, he shout- ed in a massive voice: “«This court will now come to or- der, and it came. Another thump on his desk, and then the judge said in a decisive fashion: “‘The gents who have been drawn for the jury will now take their accus- tomed places.’ “Twelve heavily armed men arose as one man and ten of them filed into the dock.”—New York Sun.
