Koerner of Minneapolis. was in town during the week looking over the books of ouf county officials. After a thorough examination he found the accounts and records in apple-pie | order, and took occasion to compli- ment the officers on their general efficiency. A Kansas printer in making up the | forms one day in a hurry got a mar- riage and a grocer’s nouce mixed so it read as follows: John Smith and Ida Ruay were united in the bonds of holy sauerkraut which will be sold by the quart or barrel, Mr. Smith is an estesmed codfish at ro cents; while | the bride has mice pigs’ feet to dis- | play.

See his advertsement, | It is the duty of every farmer and gardener in the county to plant some sugar beet seed this season for ex- perimental purposes. This is bound to become atich county in the pro- duction of sugar beets and every man interested in Itasca should begin now to learn by actual experience some- thing about its cultivation, Auditor Farrell will supply all applicants free of charge, Hunters will do well to bear in mind that hereafier during the hunt- ing season they will be required to alicense from the county auditor before taking a legal shot at any wild game within the state of Minnesota. ‘The license fee as fixed by the law demands the applicant who is a resident of the state to con- tribute the sum of 25 cents to the au- ditor; non-residents must pay $25.00. A severe penalty is attached to viola- tion of this provision. Past Grand Commander J. N. Chellew of the K.O. T. M., now; district. organizer for the order, ar- rived here from Duluth this morning. Sir Knight Chellew has been giving attention to the interests of Pokegama Tent during the past few days and he has met with very flattering success in adding to the membership list. A |regular meeting of the order will be held on Tuesday evening next, when alarge class will be mitiated. ‘The Maccabees of the state will meet at Minneapolis on May 4. Here isa hint from the Pipestone Daily Star. -‘A government internal stamp inspector was in __ the city on Saturday and he told Clerk of Court Smith that he must not record a minister’s certificate of marriage un- less a ro-cent revenue stamp had been attached and cancelled by the pastor who performed the ceremony.” ‘The pastors of this county will do well to fact and hereafter see that the necessary stamp is affixed to all such certificates.

OLD MAIDS MADE OVER. An Interesting Entertainment to Be Given by Ladies of the Maccabees. Itasca Hive, L. O. T. M., will en- tertain at Village hall on May 26. They are now rehearsing a play en- titled, “Old Maids Made Over,” and it promises to be a most pronounced success. ‘Twenty-two characters will appear on the stage in quaint and curious costumes. . Following are the names of the interesting ancients: Josephine Jan? Green. grown wolf during the months of Jan- uary, February, March, April, and May shall be entitled to a reward of seven dollars, or a cub at any season of the year, three dollars, and any per- son who shall kili*any full-grown wolf at any other season of the year shall be entitled to a reward of five dollars; one third of which shall be paid by the county wherein the wolf or wolves shall be killed, and two-thirds thereof shall be paid by the state, and all counties wherein the interest and wel- fare thereof requires are em- powered to grant such rewards, and to crease the same so far as con- cerns the liability of said county. The person claiming _ such re- ward shali within thirty days after the killing, exhibit the. carcass of the ani- mat with the head and ears entire, to the town clerk in the presence of two witnesses of the town wherein such animal was killed, aad make oath that the animal was killed by the claimant, stating the time and place and where such animal was killed by him. The auditor shall thereupon issue to such claimant his warrant upon the county treasurer for the entire sum to which said claimant is entitled, and the treasurer shall pay the same. James J. Hill’s Latest Strides. It really begins to look as though Jas. J. Hill is acquiring “the earth,” orat least a ‘targe portion of the sphere that has not heretofore been acquired by John D. Rockefeller. Mr. Hill owns a fleet of lake steam ers, and system of grain elevators at each end af the chain of lakes; he owns that great cont.snental high- highway, the Great Northern (with all its branches) running from Du- luth to the Pacific ocean; he practi- cally controls that other great conti- nental highway, the Northern Pa- cific; he a few months ago purchased the Wright & Dayis road and the great iron mine belonging to the same company pear the northern end of their road; he has recently given orders for the building of still another elevator in West Superior, one which will be the largest elevator in the world, and which will be 232 feet high, or7 feet bigher than Bunker Hill monument; he has receutly pur- the St. Paul & Duluth road thus giv- ing him both of the short lines be- tween head of the lakes and St. Paul and Minneapolis, while his very lat- est purch so far as the public knows, consists of the enormous coal docks on Alouez bay--the largest docks of the kind in America, Ad- ded to all this, it is reported that he has now joined hands with the Ameri- can Wire and Steel company and that he will soon take his place amongst the great iron manufacturers of the world. But his restless spirit does not seem content to contive his opera- tions to his continent. It has been known for some time that he has had in contemplation the establishment of an immense fieet of first-class freight and passenger steamers be- tween Seattle and China, India, and Japan, and it is now announced that lhe has gone to Europe to secure money fer that purpose, and that he | will succeed, no one who knows the man will for a.moment doubt. Where, in-the line of developing the world’s resources and commerce, he will step, none can foretell.—Duluth \ Tribunal. 1 The Fun of Killing. Various monarch and princess of | Europe find their fun in penning up large numbers of harmless animals and killing them, One ex-president of the United States finds Ins fun in going south to wound and kill ducks. Another ex-president finds his fun in going up into ‘the Adnondacks in summer and shooting [by torchlight] the beautiful and harmless deer that come down to the water to drink, and President McKinley [in his speeches] seems to forget the starvation, wound- ing and killing of men, women,%chil- dren, horses and mules in Cuba, and those far-off Asiatic islands which we bought irom the Spanish government for twenty millions of dollars, but which the Spansh government had no more right to sell than that other dis- tinguished personage who took our Rosilla Abigail Hodge.

Under the law passed at the late legislative session, a bounty will here- after be paid for the killing of wolves. The board of county commussioners at its session this week passed a resolu- tion to pay the reward as authorized by the legislative act. ‘he general provisions of the bill are as follows; Lord and Master up onto a high mountain ‘and offered him all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory thereof. In this state of the world’s humane education comes up the question in Boston: How shail we contrive to teach our children to be merciful? England is going to do it by adding to her tremendous navy 119 new war- ships and training all her school boys from 13 to 18 years of age for war.— Geo. T. Angell, in Our Dumb Ani- mals. ~ Sugar Beet Seed. County Auditor Farrell has received about 200 pounds of sugar beet seed from the state treasurer, and it is now at his office for distribution among the farmers or others who Gesire_to use it this spring. Every farmer and gard- ener in the county should seed at least a small tract to sugar beets as an ex- periment, and be prepared to contn- bute specimens of the result at the coming county fair. The officers of Every person who shall kill a fall. | the Agricultural society will have the sugar beets raised in this county tested by competent authorities and be pre- pared to inform our farmers next year just what the soil will produce and what the profits will be in that line of farm work. Auditor Farreil has two large sacks of the seed, and he is anx- ious to give it away to any farmer who may call for it. The Mississippi river is behaviag itsself very well this spring. In for- mer years there has been too much water or toe little water to enable the Minneapolis mills to start up when ready or at the opening of the river. | ‘This spring thé water seems to be just at the right stage and there has been no hitch in the work since the ice went out. The boom company com- menced stretching boom when they said they would, and the logs began to run on schedule time the latter part of last week. The mills are starting up as rapidly as their private trails are sufficiently full. ‘Taken all around the season has a most propit- ious start.—Mississippi Valley Lum- berman. A Gentle Hint to Burglars. The usual quiet little village of Greenup, Ill. ,is—or was quite recently—the abiding ph of, brace of disgusted burglars. Last Sunday night while Editor Cunningham, of the Greenup Press, a weekly bulwark of our liberties, enjoying a wide circulation in Greeuup and vicinity, lay dreaming that his deliquent subscribers had lined up in front of his office to pay their bills and that merch- ants with the copy for page ads in their hands were fighting for places ‘in the line, he was suddenly brought back to earth and its cruel realities by a rushing sound in his bedroom and the flash of a dark lantern across his face. He uttered an exclamation of surprise and two forms quickly made their exit via an open window. A large well-worn and exceedingly fat pocketbook which the editor had carlessly,laid on the dresser w: missing, but the molder of public opin took his loss phiiosophicalty and did not even raiseanoutecry, He justsighed and returned to his couch, there to wrap the drapery aboot himand he down again to pleasant dreams. The burglars returned the large, fat pocketbook by mail the next morning with its contents intact, and accompanying it was a note to the effect that their consci- ence hurt them and they could not rest un- til they returned the property. Not a dollar had been abstracted. There was nota cent in the purse when it was taken for verily its corpulence was due to the presence of the journalist’s collection of newspaper clip- pings. They gave the wallet a most attrac- tive appearance, but there was not the price of a loaf of bread inthe wad. For the benefit of the craft—burglarious well as journal- istic—it is tobe hoped this bit of news will obtain wide circulation. Editors need rest and their slumbers should not be disturbed. Burglars need money and should not be de- ceived by fat wallets containing matter for the department entitied “Among Our Ex- changes.” Burglars may rest assured that when they find an editor and aplump pock- etbook in conjunction, the latter is a delu- sion and a snare. The American Girl. “The American girl has set the standard of beauty for the whole world, and unlike most sweeping statements, there never was one so true, even in its finest analysis,” writes Edward Bok in the May Ladies’ Home Journal. “And not only is this true of the American girl’s beauty, | but it goes further and is true of her chic and her brightness, She is the cleverest and most graceful girl in the world. Likewise 1s she the best dressed. The French may set the fashions, but it take the Americas girl to wear them. No girl so com- pletely understands the art of dressing well, See, for a moment, how true this is of the girl of limited ncome— she who is out in the world earning her daily bread. No girl in the world dresses more becomingly than the self supporting girl of America. Every one who has seen any of the world and of the working girls of her na- tions knows how literally true this is. ‘The working-girl in America 1s pret- tier to begin with. We all know that some of the prettiest types of Ameri- can girlnood are found behind the counters of stores and at desks in of- fices. But the American girl does not stop with personal beauty. She is clever enough to know exactly how to dress to suit her circumstances, and rarely does she overdress.”” Tom Reed and the President. Mr.Carmichael, The Minneapolis Times’ corrospondent in Washington tells the truth, as he is wont to do, about the retirement irom offical life of Thomas B. Reed of Maine. It is not need of a larger income, or hope of accumulating a fortune, that has lead Mr. Reed to forego the activites of a life of party leadership. He simply cannot longer remain political- ly loyal to a man he dislikes and who is the party’s chief. He dislikes President McKinley porsonally and politically. He disagrees with the administration on many vital points and being a man of strong individual- ity to imperiousness and disap- pointed in the fruition ofa life’s chief ambitiun, he cannot longer give the administration even a negative sup- port. Ofatruth Mr. Reed’s support has not been even negative in many instances, and the czar has beena sort of imperium im imperio which galled Mr. McKinley and his close ad- visers severely an4 frequently. It is certain t.at as between Reed and McKinley, fu president, the peo- ple would chose ise latter, and this too if.the preseis exeentive were FOUR-BUTTON SACK SUIT Copyright, 1899 By Hart, Schaffner & Marx To step into our store for a few minutes and. look over our new styles of Hart, Schaffner & Marx suits.

Mr. Reed is a man of brain commensurate with his brawn, but he has shown, over and over again, in public life, that he regarded popular views as undigested and impractica- able, The popular view that he would make a_ dictatorial, not a statesmanlike, president’ has had much to do with his failure to secure that high office. We will hear of Reed anon. He is not of the kind that can hide lights under bushel measures. Probably the administra- tion will conclude it is better to fight him in the open.
