Grand Rapids-Hibbing Excursions. Landlord John McDonald, of Hotel Hibbing, came over from the mining town the first of the week and reported that a committee of citizens had already been appointed to ar- range for another annual excursion to Grand Rapids during the summer or autumn, Last year the excursion train brought over about two hundred people, Grand Rapids reciprocated with about one hundred and fifty. The proposed plan is for a visit to Hibbing about August 20. In return the good people of Hibbing will come in a body to attend our county fair. It may be necessary to change the dates now fixed in order to accom- modate the visitors, but if 200 or 300 people will come over at that time, it will well repay for the trouble of any mconvenience that may be occasioned the officers. As a feature of enter- tainment it 1s proposed to take a team College of Opthalmology, | atthe neighbor town. ‘This . matter should be taken up by a regularly ap- pouited committee at an early date. DEATH OF HERBERT WASSON. Lookjaw Produced by Explosion of a Giant Firecracker. The following account of the death of Herbet Wasson of Minneapolis, brother of Mrs.. Will Nisbett and Mrs. G. W. Prescott of this village, is taken from the Minneapolis Times of Satur- day last: “Herbert Wasson died at St. Mary’s hospital Saturday morning of lockjaw resulting from a Fourth of July firecracker explosion which tore and badly lacerated his nght hand, He was passing along the street when some unknown miscreant threw a giant cracker across the street which lighted just in front of a party of young women near. Wasson snatched the cracker intending to get it away from the young ladies, when it exploded, frightfully tearing his hand. He was taken to the hospital and lockjaw_ re- sulted, causing death. Mr, Wasson was 26 years of age and single. To Visit the Old Home. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Deran will leave tomorrow for a three weck’s visit with Mrs. Doran’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Allin, at Royalton, Wis. Mr. and Mrs. Allen are quite well known to many people here, as they have twice visited in Grand Rapids. Next week their golden an- | niversary will be celebrated, when a general reunion of the famuly, will take place at the old Wisconsin homestead. Mr. Doran is enjoying a haif lay- off this summer after eight years ot active business life in Grand Rapids. Since locating here in ’91 he has been one of the most enterprising and pub- lic spirited citizens of the community. The building of Hotel Gladstone was a venture that few men would have undertaken six years ago, and many were the predictions of failure. But the result has proved that his estimate of Grand Rapids’ tuture was correct. His rich farm, partly within the village limits, testifies to his energy and in- dustry Im a most emphatic manner. It requires men like Dan Doran to build up prosperous communities, and Clear « He ee ee his wont ot of Oa age Coral feet in the lake. Work is now oan] done at a lake two miles Léy. Dewey, where 15,000,000 feet of logs are afloat. Logs are also being taken out of a small lake one mile south of Dewey. It is estimated that 2,000,000 feet of logs are at the bottom of Dewey lake. Whether an effort will be made to reclaim the “dead heads” or not is not known.—Hibbing News. A GENEROUS OFFER. Remedy for Rheumatism That Has Never Failed to Cure. Mr. H. Cramer, of Grand Rapids, has a remedy for rheumatism that is. held in high regard by a great many of our citizens who can testify to its good qualities. He. does not make a business of exploiting the virtues of this remedy, but when he hears ofa sufferer who has failed to find relief otherwise, Mr. Cramer will supply the patient with his medicine and he charges no fees, There are other diseases that it has an equally bene- ficial effect upon. ‘Those who may entertain doubts as to the value of the medicine can be referred to any number, of people residing now in Grand Rapids that have been cured by it. Is This a “Pipe” Story? The Itasca News tells the follow- ing tale: “It has just gotten out that the Sims cottage narrowly avert- eda ransacking by a burglar a week ago last Thursday night. There are several ladies from different parts of the stare spending the. summer months at the cottage and it was their jewelry undoubtedly which at- tracted the burglar. Late in the night one of the ladies was startled by an unfamiliar grating sound; the sound coming again more distinct, she looked to the direction. from which it came, andsawa black object lying on the roof of the piazza close to her chamber window. The. lady thought it some w'ld animal from the woods and terribly frightened set up analarm, The only man in the house, the cook, came to the rescue with two revolvers and fired ‘them off in with a fine family of twelve children and valuable properties he has cer- tainly dene his full share and is well deserving of a little recreation) Herd Law for Kids. Curfew ordinances in cities and villages are becoming quite the popu- lar fad. We note in exchanges of late that such municipal regulations are being passedasa matter of course, and do not even excite newspaper comment to any noticeable extent. As a rule the main provision prohibits children under the age of 16 years from being upon the streets or alleys or in public places after thehour of g o’clock p- m., without -just and sufficient cause, or when in the company of parents or guardians, The village council of Grand Rapids might give this subject a little consideration, Fatal Accident Word was received here last Sun- day evening ofthe sndden death of Condutor Ed. Martin, which occurred at Cass Lake. The train that Mr. Martin was running was being made up preparatory for the run to West Superior. The unfortunate man attempted to step upon the pilot of the engine while the train was in motion. He missed his footing and fell beside the engine sustaining in- juries from which he died about fifteen minutes after the accident. ‘The deceased had only recently been promoted. He was well known on the Eastern Minnesota, and was pop- ular among his associates. The. re- mains were taken to West Superior for burial. Prompt Business. The $85,000 for county bonds is- sued last month has been in the hands of Treasurer Miller for more than a week. County Auditor Farrell, who had the business details of the trans action to handle throughout has reason to feel pleased with the promptness of action’ that attended the sale. Bond buyers do not con- clude their purchases until every ac- tion taken from first to last by the is- suing parties have been found to con- form with the requirements of law. This exacting duty devolves upon the auditor, and to him 1s the credit due for the fact that not one error was found. Heretofore when bonds have been issued by this county, the deal has hung fire on technicalities for several months. . : ' Old Settlers? Society. A great many counties of the state are forming “Old Settlers” socie- ties, and a large number of communi- ties already have such orders well or- ganized, Grand Rapids’ pioneers have made a history that 1s worthy of the air as the excited crowd watched vhe would-be-burglar Jamp from the roof and take across the field. Upou a dresser, close to the window where the man lay was two diansond rings. agold watch and a purse of money. The other rooms contained equally as much wealth, so he would have made a large haul had his attempt worked. No one has the slightest suspicion as to who the person was. Two of the ladies were nearly pros- trated an:] were unable to leave their chamber ii the next day.” Cyclene Danger Signals. The village of Oannon Falls, in Goodhue county, this state, has taken the initiative in providing a method of giving warning to its inhabitants of the approach of cyclones or other violent storms. ‘The common council of the village bas adopted an ordinance requiring the chief of police to keep a look-out for such elemental distubances, and if a tornado or cyclone should be seen approaching to give an alarm by three quick rings of the fire bell, fol- lowed by ashort pause, then repeating in the. same manner until all may know the nature of the signal and thus be warned to seek aplaceot safety. It is further ordered that this signal shall not be used for any other purpose. ‘The council also resolyed to publish the ordinance iu the spring of each year and to request the superintendent of schools to explain by illustration the signal to the puples at least once a year. This isa simple precaution which might do much good and cannot do any harm. When the fact is demon- strated that a village like New Rich- mond,can be practically wiped off the face of the earth by a sudden storm people cannot be too careful. At the ringing of thealarm bell all within its sound would naturally hasten to eellars or other places of saftey, Which it will be prudent to provide in ad- vance. as no section is exempt from danger. Jas. L. Scofield, a business man of Cannon Falls, is the man who sug- gested the ordinance above referred to, aundiv a timely article upon the subject of cyclone warnings, he says: “Whether the immense and massive structures of our large cities would withstand the violence of a tornado is an unsettled fact; but the terrible disaster at New Richmond has decid- ed fer all time that brick and stone buildings, built as they usually are, in our samller cities an’ villages are veritable death-traps to all who seek sbelterin them on such occasions. Tn an equally pesilive manner it was annual commemoration, and a yearly meeting of these old settlers would be one of the happiest social gather that they will ever experience this side the great reunion in the world to come, Why not organize at once in a permanent way, and hereafter make the event an Itasca county holiday? | frame building is.a safer refuge they | Coffees, rer, denomstrated that nearly all who were warned in time and gained ref- uge in cellars under frame — build- ings were saved from a terrible death.” ‘ It is probable that a cellar under a Facey lake.

If the massive structures in large cities are capable of withstanding the power of a tornado or cyclone, there are plenty of buildings in every large city that will not, and it is a question if such an arrangement for danger signals would not be a wise precaution in cities of all sizes. The curch bells and the bells of the vari- ous fire stations might be utilized for the signals, and there are uasully enough of such bells in a city to reach the ears of all the inhabitants. The police and the firemen might be in- structed to keep a sharp look-out all the time for signs of:weather distarb- auce. It is true they may watch for many yea‘s without finding occasion to sound the alarm bell—the longer the better—but one effective warning in a life time would repay all trouble and effort. The plan would cost noth- ing, and would simply require a little extra watchfulness on the part of a few public servants.—Minneapolis ‘Tribune. Don’t fail to try Powers’ Teas and To J. N.
