Sheldon of the Lum- bermen’s bank, spent the week 1n St. Paul and Minneapolis on business. As a side issue he gazed on the wonders of the fair occasionally. President C. W. Hastings of the Lumbermen’s bank, was here last week sizing up the situation. As usual he found everything moving along smoothly and satisfactorily. Mrs, Edward Henry of West Sup erior, and Miss Jennie Foss of Little Falls, who have been here for two weeks visiting Mrs, F. A. McVicar, returned to their respective homes on Sunday. John McKenna, who is now a brakeman on the Omaha at St, Paul, came here on a visit to relatives on Saturday He is on an enforced vacation, having injured his foot while at work.

John Boyle O’Reilly received more friendly advise at the depot when leaving for St. Paul, Minneapolis and the fair than any other member of the departing delegation, Everybody appeared deeply interested in his well- fare ani he promised to be good. John Costello 1s back from the state fair. His appearance when he alight- ed from the car would indicate that his conduct had been of the most commendable kind. He says the crowd was immense and the fair just like the crowd. Mr. A. D. McGill of Duluth, has accepted a position as head clerk in the dry goods department of the Itasca Mercantile store. Mr. Mc- Gill is a geitleman of many years experience ud the business. ‘The Itasca company is fortunate in se- curing his services. Logan & Spillan are having the interior of their sample rodém fixed up in elegant shape. G. F. VanDusen has. charge of the decorative work, and Webb Gilliland, the carpenter, is re-arranging some of the fixtures to suit the new idea. The Hibbing Tribune reports that L. N. Merritt, of Passedena, Cal., reg- istered at the Hotel Hibbing ‘Thurs- day. He isa brother of H. C. Mer- ritt of the Itasca Mercantile Co., and will take a position as bookeeper at the company’s department store here. Roadmaster J. A. Gibson of the Great Northern, had rather a serious time of it since spraining his ankle about three weeks ago. He is not yet able to navigate without the- assistance of crutches, and re- covery seems most distressingly slow. The Ladies of the Maccabees will serve a dime coffee at the millinery store of Mrs, Brooks, on Wednes- day afternoon from 4 to 7, It is not often that the Maccabee ladies attempt anything of this kind, but whenever they do it 1s allways worth attending. All are invited. John Goodell, known to some of his intimate personal friends as ‘Ly- ing Jack,” was among the east-bound passengers Monday. He intends to spend the winter in Cleveland, Ohio; and return’ to Itasca. county next spring. Before his departure he sold all his stock and farm machinery and left the care and cure of his growing crops to a renter. County Commissioner C. E, Lee- man does not appear to be very: much exercised over the approaching in- vestigation relative to his conduct as a member of the board. He has just completed the raising of Auditor Far rell’s residence and he has several hand in the line of house- moving here and elsewhere. Tom Sheehy, the Deer River deal- er in staple and fancy liquids, was a visitor at the county capitol ‘Tuesday. After talking over business matters at some length with him and having arrived at an amicable understanding, we have decided to place his name upon the Herald-Reveiw subscription list. : Frank Sits. spent two or three days in town during “the week. 1n reply to the inquiry as to how everybody treated him, he said everybody didn’t treat him, but his firm recently raised his wages and he could aftord to treat himself pretty-well. Frank is making a decided success as the traveling re- presentative of Swift & Co. Capt. J. C. O’Connell, sometimes addressed as ‘Loronto Jack,” re. turned ‘Thursday, from Duluth, St- Paul, Minneapolis and Hamline Park. ‘The story that he had appeared be- fore the majesty of the court in Du- luth 1s a base fabrication circulated {by his political enemies for campaign purposes. On Leland avenue between First and Second streets, the sidewalk on the west side of the avenue is in a very dangerous condition. The prop- erty is owned by a Mr. T. H. Hel- inski of Duluth. If the council can- not afford to make the: necessary re- pair, a danger signal should be put up and the walk blockaded. W. J. Coffron of Deer River, spent a day or two here this week. He also went to Laprairie, where he pur- chased a building which he will have torn down, moved to Deer River and put up again as an addition to his hotel. Mr. Coffron has already a large place and this new move wiil make it one of the largest at our neighboring town. Gentle reader, did it ever occur to you how much good you could doa newspaper if, after you have read_ the advertisements and found _ therein something you decided to buy, you should say to the merchant who had it to sell: “I see by the Herald-Re- view that you are offering such and such an article at such and such a price?” Or if you didn’t see it in the the Herald-Review, tell him you saw. it in the Magnet—or wherever it was. The name of the paper makes no dif- ference. because wnen a man makes up his mind that advertising pays, he will do lots of it and everyone will get his share. You would tell him quick enough if you heard it on the street or if one of your neighbors toll you. “When you buy, mention this paper.” On Monday afternoon several of our good citizens took . passage over the Great Northern to see the viy fair at Hamlin Park. The party leaving was not a very large one and we are not entirely sure that some did not escape without registering their names on the Herald-Review tab. Those who have returned report the fair as the best yet shown at Hamlin and are weil satisfied with what they saw, ex- cept George McAlister. George ar- rived home ‘Thursday and did not speak in flattering terms of the show, so we take it for granted that he made a mistake and took the wrong car and didn’ see the fair at all. On Thursday evening Marshal Mc- Cormick caught a quartette of boys, aged from 12 to 15 years, engaged inthe reprehensible trick of tying telephone wires across the sidewalk between Third and Fourth streets. This walk is in constant use and several pedestrians were tripped and received violent falls, among the num- ber being one or two ladies. ‘he marshal caught two of the young fellows and promptly marched them to the lockup. He returned and soon had their companions in hand. After being treated to an hour’s con- finement behind the bars the lads were turned loose, and it 1s not hke- ly that they will soon repent the operation. Boys who are allowed by their parents to roam about town at all hours of the mght are sure to land in jail sooner or later: It is too bad that the marshal 1s not vested with authority to administer a good, sound spanking—with a leather strap —to such scamps. We have several new ads this week and hope to have several more still newer ones next week, You will find the cards of all the professional men in town on the fifth page. These ure never printed with the idea that they will bring any great amount of trade to the advertisers, for a man is not going to get sick just for the purpose of patronizing a doctor whese card he may happen to see; nor 1s he, upon reading the words “attorney at law” immediately going to huntup.a law suit. But they give. outsiders an idea that the town is an enterprising:one, and this alone is worth a good deal. ‘Lhen, again, if a professional man 1s looking tor a location and sees by the paper that the field in his particular line is full here, he will steer clear of the town, while if one sees that there! ls something we havn’t enough of and it happens to be his specialty, he will come—and we want him to, too. ‘Lhen you will find the business cards of Kremer & King, W. E. Martin, W. C. Gilbert, W. E. Neal and A. B. Clair. These advertisements are of great practical value because often a person in a far-away- burg wants to correspond with a broker, real estate man or log buyer, and if he sees them all before him he can take his pick There are other larger ads—new and changed—J. D. Powers, Itasca Mer- cantile company, Beckfelt & Mather, W. J. & H. D. Powers, Broeker & Whiteaker, Kelly & O’Rielly, etc. Death of Rey, A. E. Mather. Rey. A. E. Mather, father of O. L. Mather, was well known in Grand Rapids, having visited his son here on several occasions. The people of this yillage have heard him deliver a number of sermons in the Presbyter ian church. He made many friends on his visit to Grand Rapids who heard of his death with much sorrow. Ife. died on August 27 at Battle Creek, Michigan. His son O. Li Mather, of this place, was present at Ahe time of death. The following account of the funeral and brief history of Rev. Mather’s life work is taken from the Detroit Daily Journal of August 390: Special telegram from Pontiac. Mich., to Detroit Journal, August 30: The funerai of Rev. A. E, Mather, D. D., who died at Battle Creek Sunday, occured here this afternoon. The body laid in state at the Baptist church for four hours preceding the furneral ser- vices surrounded bya guard from the old Twenty-second Michigan regiment, of which he was chaplain. Rey. Asher E, Mather was born in Canada in 18%3. In 185the became pastor of a church in Mt, Clemens, where he was ordained, A year later he accepted a call from the Taber- nacle church, Detroit, of which he had been a deacon, He then went to Romeo, where he stayed four years. His next pastorate was in Pontiac, continuing nine years. At the opening of the war he rendered val- uable services in raising a regiment of vol- unteers, becoming its chaplain. He next spent several years as pastor in Portland. During his life as a minister, Rev. Mather assisted ut the dedication of more than 50 churches, and it was at his suggestion that | tlie first Woman's Baptist Home Missionary Society of Michigan was founded. He was secretary of the state convention for several years, and in 1879 was made its president, He was manager of the Aged Ministers’ Home in Fenton, and the last year of his life he spent in Battle Creek, MARTIN-PAUL NUPTIALS. ‘| Cupid Scores a Popular Triumph and All { Grand Rapids Rejoices With Him The solemnization of the marrriage of William E. Martin and Miss Adelina M. Paul was celebrated at village on ‘Wednesday last at “10 o'clock a. m., Rev, ©. V. Gamache performing the ceremony. Miss Paul has resided in Grand Rapids about six years and during that time she ances, and her large circle of fricnds are not alone confined to Grand Rap- ids, es evidenced by the numerous presents from other towns and states. She was always prominent in social, and particularly’ the musical, circles of the village, taking an active and earnest part in church and charitable work, freely giving of her time and talents. Mr. Martin isa young real estate man of much ability and high social standing. There were present to witness the ceremony over two hundred invited guests. As the bridal party entered the church the scene was a brilliant and impressive one. The chapel was beautifully decorated with a profas- sion of wild and cultivated flowers that suggested. a lavish wilderness of nature’s most beautiful product. The bride entered the church on the arm of her grandfather, Mr. C. A. Gamache. She wore a dress of white organdie and carried bride’s roses. Miss Loretta Doran~ as bride’smaid, was dressed in white and carried roses. The bridegroom was attended by S. J. Moran. Both were dressed in the conventional black. Following the marriage ceremony a reception was held at the parsonage of Rev. C. V. Gamache. About 200 guests were present and partook of refreshments of ice cream and cake between the hours of 11 and 2. The popularity of Mr. and Mrs. Martin is. best testified to by the numerous and costly presents sent to them. A column of space in the Herald-Review would not be sufficient tocontain a list of them all. The offerings included everything from costly jewelry, silverware and house- hold furnishings down to kitchen utensils It was certainly the most popular wedding that ever took place in Grand Rapids. At 2:52 p.m. the happy couple:left on the Great Northern train to be absent about two weeks visiting friends in. Minneapolis and. Prince- ton. Mr. Martin has. already fur- furnished a neat cottage-on Hoffman avenue that will be ready for occu- pancy upon their return. They will be at home after Sep- tember 2: What Enterprise Will Do. A better example of what enterprise anu sirict application to business will accouiplish was never presented than in the case of J. D. Powers, the grocer and furnisher. When he embarked in business last spring everyone said that the town was already too full of stores carrying his line of goods, but he has proved them mistaken and is today enjoying one of the best trades in the village. Since the first day on which his grocery store was opened, he has made a business of finding out what our people wanted and then getting it for them. Hus long previous exper- ienée in business had made him an excellent judge of the wares he pro- posed to handle,and he has always in- sisted on getting the best. Like ali merchants, he has certain specialties, his being teas, ceffees, canned goods, pickles and spices. In these goods he has the ‘very best that can be pro- curred.’ Also an elegant line of gent’s furnishing goods. See his ad in another column, We Wia, You Lose Cass Lake Times. The Grand Rapids Herald-Review is re-enforced by T. J. Austed, form- erly of the Magnet. Mr. Austedis a mighty bright young newspd mau, and no doubt the Her view will soon show signs of uew life and vigor, infused into it by his ener- gy and influence. ‘The Magnet luses greatly, but the Herald-keview is an equal gainer by the transfer Hot Time at Wadena. Aitkin Age. Things in Wadena county must have been quite lively last week. Ono wan blew the top of his head off with a shot gun, apother came near getling kicked over the fence for im- personating a ‘kissing bug.’) a little chitd drank some kerosene and died of the effects, two freight trains ran into each other, and the ‘Lribuné got outan issue without avythipg in it about Charley ‘towne, or Page Mor- ris. Exciting times are these in Wadena. The Reason of It. Virginia Enterprise. We note thatour pew brother, S. H. Higgins, in the last issue of the Hibbing Lrib ne in speaking of the population of the: various towns in the proposed new county of [ron puts Virginia a® 2000 and Hibbing av 3500. Buy the reason of this seeming dis- paragement in favor of our western neighbor is found in a squib else- where in tne saute issue in which the editor avers that ‘Hibbing is a great place for siugle. men and bheir families.” No more explicit ex- planation of the cause of the differ- ence in population of the two towns is Decessary.
