Being unable to cope | with the Herald-Review in business the publisher of the Magnet foresees the closely approaching day when he will be torced to retire from the field of journalism in Itasca county. ‘The ouuook drives him to desperation and he has sworn to blast the reputation of the town before the hour of parting comes. * * * As was stated herein last week, Grand Rapids does not lay claim to being better or worse than the aver- age western village, and it would be along the lines of fact to assert that its moral and social condition is supe- rior to the average. ‘True enough, it might be better, but it is equally true that there isa nughty room for vast improvement the world over. If social reforms are to be inaugurated there is plenty of work to be done out- side the unholy precints of the brothel, saloor and green room. Re- forms, however, are not brought !about through a spirit of vindictive- ness. * * * The Herald-Review has neither time, space nor inclination to devote toa lengthy discussion of this con- troversy, but in justice to the com- munity at large, and especially in de fense of the manly men and womanly women who constitute a controling majority of our citizens the infamous slanders that have been published must not go uncontradicted. * * It should first be understood that the Magnet’s incentive to rave and rant springs wholly from the fact that ever since the establishment of. this paper- Had it been otherwise no official shortcomings would receive its censure. ‘This 1s simply one way of blackmailing the public. * * Locally, the howling of the Mag- columns were run blank. \siders it +s very different, and of nec- essity must prove detrimental. Such articles as those appearing 1n the last two issues of the Magnet will do more harm to Grand Rapids than all the gamblers that have ever been here could do in fifty years. Strangers do not understand the real situation and will very naturally conclude that there must be some foundation for so much blow and bluster Those who visit ‘it has been defeated for public ised net has no more efiect than if its; most With out- | arranged for intelligent understand- better regulated municipality in the State. Ifthere be those persons who are responsible for their own acts and know that there are flagrant viola- tions of state or municipal laws the authorities will not be slow to bring about the desired changes. But when persons who are animated through spite undertake a wholesale raid upon a class of citizens who may, per chance, be opposed to certain politic- al schemes, then 1t is that the author iUes step in and calla halt that most effectually renders the malcontents pon compus mentus. This is what has been done with the Magnet pub- lisher. No one pays any more atten- tion to him than 1s paid to the mid- night barking. of a yellow cur, ‘lo day he isthe laughing stock of all Grand Rapids; he has made of himself a posiuve nuisance in official circles and is despised: by those who would once befriend him. . * Read this: “Our article last week struck a popular chord among our ‘better class of citizens, and they re- solved to do something” “Our better | class of citizens,” is the pubhsher of the Magnet. It was he, and he alone who proposed to get even with the voters who defeated his favorite can- didates at the late village election. If the aforesaid publisher were a stranger to the people of this cgmmu- nity he might be able to make a few people believe that he is possesed of some elements of respectabihty, Un- der existing circumstances, however, he simply makes himself mdiculous and disgusting. * * Read another “quotation from the Magnet: “And the Herald-Review man adds: -If it not forthese the town would die. The Herald-Re- view man never said anything of the kind and the Magnet mongrel knows it, if he knows anything at all. age ® In the Magnet article 1s'a whole lot of balderdash anent “foreign gam- } blers.” There is not a man in Grand Rapids engaged in that line of indus- try—if it may be so termed—who has not served many years in the lumber woods of northern minnesota. Their moral records will compare very favorably with that of the Magnet man. A Valuasle Reference Work. The Year Book and Almanac issued | by the Globe Company, of St. Paul, is the. best work of the kind which has come to our notice. Complete in every particular, it combines history and facts, statistics and general in- formation, properly classified and in- dexed ia a manner which permits of instant reference. The statistics are complete and admirably jing. Sixty pages of the 900 which this wonderful book contains are de- voted to Minnesota, and the political information is the most comprehen- {sive and valuable ever published in the state. We bespeak for this work the,consideration of every intelligent person in the state, and we can say without hesitancy that it is valuable alike to merchant, farmer. mechanic, sportsman. or politician. The price of the book is 25 “cents, mailed any- Minnesota in the Lead. The official estimate of the Agricul- tural Bureau of the wheat crop o* 1898 shows that Minnesota is still far and away the largest producer of wheat in the country, It produced a crop of 78,418,812 bushels, which 1s not only 13,500,000 bushels more than Kansas, the next on the list, pro- duced, but it is 13,000,000. bushels more than she herself had ever pro- duced before. Its 1898 crop was furthermore, 11.6 percent of the en- tire United States crop. For the last four years Minnesota crop has sur- passed that of any other State, though it was closely pushed in 1896, when it only produced 46,600,000 bushels, by California with 45,000,000 bushels. Bur the aggregate production for the past five years, in spite of the poor crops of 1894 and 1896, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press, is far in excess of that of any other State. The. largest Good Temper. Good temper is like a sunny day, shedding brightness on everything. It 1s temper which creats the bliss of home, or disturbs its comforts. It is not in the collision of intellect that domestic peace like to nestle; her home is in the bearing nature-in the yielding spirit—in the calm pleasure of a mild dosposition anxious to give and receive happmess, Goethe says, ‘He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.’* But peace cannot be found tell sought for, and-when ounce obtained re- quires csltivation, and the most effect- ual cultur is good temper. “It is a fortune in itself,and has the same ef- fect.in the domestic circle that sun- shine has on all outside, For, as the warm sunshine and gentle breeze melt the-glacier, so the voice of kindness will tutch the heart which could not be subdued by aeverity. Good temp- crop harvested by any other State at that time was harvested by Kansas last year, 64,939,412 bushels, with N. Dakota next, and §. Dokota practicaly tied for fourth place. The Gladstone Changes Hands. A. E, Wilder and Neal Hickey have leased the Hotel Gladstone of D. W. Doran and _ will assume active management ‘of the house on April first. Mr. Doran will move his family out to his farmstead and devote’ his time hereafter to agricultural pursuits in Itasca county. Since building the Gladstone six years ago, Mr. Doran has enjoyed a prosperous patronage and today he is one of the best known hotel men in northern Minne- soto. His friends will wish himself and estimable tamily continued pros- perity and. all enjoyments of lite. Mr. Wilder is a hotel man of large ex-| perience and an extensive acquaint- ance among hotel patrons of this sec- tion. He was one of the first hotel managers in Itasca county, having had charge of the Frazer house when Laprairie was enjoying prosperity. Mr. Hickey is the present manager of the Gladstone and one of the most popular young men in this section. ‘The new proprietors will doa thnviag business from the start and cannot fail in their undertaking. i en, All Women May be Pretty The April Ladies’ Home Journal will contain the first article of a series telling “How to be Pretty Though Plain.” The author, who has verified all her statements, insists that it is within easy possibility for the plainest woman to be pretty, and she thinks It not unworthy ambition, Good common-sense’ forms the basis of this author's advice to all women who er in the morning will lighten the cares of the day, and make all house- hole affairs progress smoothly. Good temper at night will be fraught with sweetest memories—free from regrets if death claims a dead one in tie dark- ness. - Notice of Expiration of Redemption — STATE OF MINNESOTA } Fy r 83 County of Itasca, I Clough Bros.: TAKE NOTICE.
