City and Vicinity. Grand Rapids the Gueen. Grand Rez pids is the queeti of north- ern Minnesota towns in attractive appearance and _ in the generous hos- pitality of her good people. Strang- ers who visit here always go away with flattering impressions of the place and the acquaintances they form. A personal letter received from Attorney Leo S. Bayrell of Argyle, one of the commissioners who took testimony in the Leeman case, is good evidence of this fact, and it 1s only one of many such. He says that our town Is not only one of the most substantially built of any he has_ visited, but is also one of the most beautifully situated He was most profuse in his expres- sions of regard for the ladies and tlemen he had met. while here, and he much deplored the fact that through political or personal strifes ill feelings should be engendered to mar the material and social progress of such a_ promising village. Mr. Bay- rell’s observations are worthy of seri- ous contemplation. Rn Explanation. ‘There are still three or four hun- dred dehnquent subscribers on the Herald-Review list who may imagine, that the proprietors of this rag enter- tain no intention of discharging then just obligations; or they may be oper- ating under the delusion that we don’t grudge. If they do, we desire to impress upon their forget- fuln that they are not “onto” us. If there still remains any douht on this subject as to .our needs, just ask the first sad looking gentleman that hap- pens along. It’s dollats to doughnuts that he will fully confirm what we here assert, Now will you pay up? We employ Frank Price by the year as our collecting agent and he 1s owe even a Robbed the Conductor. On August 14 last, Charles Leary, it'seems, was a little short on wearing apparel, and a good opportunity pre- sented itself by which he might re- plenish his wardrobe and he took advantage of it. Freight Conductor Woods had his train sidetracked at ¢wan River. The caboose was lock- ed ‘securely enough for ordinary protection, but Leary, it 1s alleged, broke in and robbed the conductor’s strong box and sécured a supply of clothing. ‘The accused has just been apprehended at Crockston, and Sher- iff Tyndall started for that place yes- terday to bring him here for a pre- liminary hear.ng, RA Fine Steck in Store. J. D. Powers has bezn most too busy all week unpacking and arrang- goods to properly serve his He received a large con- signment in several hnes and he 1s now contronted with the necessity of soon securing additional store room. A complete stock of groceries, provis- ions, ham, lard, teas coffees, spices, fruits. etc., besides a large line of gent’s furnishing goods, shoes and rubber goods, require considerable elbow room and Mr. Powers will either be compelled to quit buying for a time or find new quarters, ing new patrons. Meving the Town. ” -Mayor F. L. Churchill of Deer River was in town the first of the week. He says his town isa hard looking proposition just now, but when the work of removing the build- ings to the cro:sing.and are placed on regularly layed out streets the whole village will be much improved in ap- pearance. Looking for Pointers. Auditor E. J. Farrell has been in St Paul during the week to consult with the attorney general concerning anew law relating to taxes that ap- pears to be rather ambiguous. The auditors of several counties con- sulted are unzble to determine just what,action to take and Mr. Farrell proposes to know that he is right be- fore going ahead. Competent and Industricus. ' In commenyng ‘last week onthe Experimental station it was not the desire of the Herald-Review to create the impréssion that Superintendent Chapman. had been in any manner derelict in his’ duties or incompetent. ‘There is entertamed no doubt as to his competency or industry. ‘The faults refered to cannot be charged up to Mr. Chapman. é bone Not Very Encouraging. A “tip” from the inside may be ex- tracted from the following Cass ‘Lake ‘Times jocal: “L, 'S. Bayrell, of Ar- gyle, passed through the city on his away home last Sunday. Mr. Bavrell was onthe committee appointed by Goy. Lind to take the testimony in lthe county commissioner impeach- Review ment squabble, over at Grand Rapids. | On being asked the complexion of the {case as it appeared when the testi- | mony was all in, he replied that there | was six in one and half a dozen in the other, and ifone was found guilty all would most tikely be removed.” Two Narrow Escapes. Mr. and Mrs. M. Le Toole and their four children returned from a visit to the home of Mr. TooJe’s parents in Maine last Monday. They had an enjoyable sojourn of several weeks, j but Mrs. ‘Toole bad a very narrow j escape from being among the victims of the fatal accident at Bar Harbor | when the gang plank on an excursion | boat went down, taking twenty-seven people to their death. An immense crowd of people were going out to sec Sampson’s’ squadron and all were eager to catch the first boats. A rush was Igade by the excursionists and the gang-board was crowded with people when it gave way. Mrs. Toole and and a party of friends were com- plaining of their ill luck on not be- ing able to get’ aboard when the ac- cident occurred. Had they arrived a minute earlier it is quite probable they would have been among the un- fortunate ones. Mrs Toole was also jaboard the unlucky train that derailed last Monday below Swan River. ee Ous After Ducks. Mr. W. A. Lang of St. Paul, brother of Mrs.:J. R. Donohue, and Mr. Emil Bull, a druggist of that city, arrived on the belated passenger train Monday evening to put ia a week or ten days harvesting ripe ducks, grouse, etc., and. fish. Mr. Lang is city manager of the St. Paul Fire and Marine tnsurance company. ‘They were passengers on the wrecked train, and Mr. Bull demonstrated that he is a handy man with a No. 2 shovel while digging out live en- gineers. He was one of the first to understand the perilous situation of the mud-imprisoned Flaherty and he realized what was necessary to be be done. He and H. H. Chapman of the experimental station, siezed a shovel apiece and did not quit the job until Mr. Flaherty was released. They are the stamp of boys. who would make heroic tlremen in time of danger, or good railroad surface men. Morrison-Boane. Rev. Father Gamache pronounced jthe words that united in marriage Mr. M Morrison and Mrs. Minnie \C. Doane on Wednesday of this week at 10 o'clock. The ceremony took place in Grand Rapids at the home of the bride’s mother, s J. A. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Morrison are both well {known in this village having resided {here for a number of years. ‘They left on Wednesday's east-bound train to visit Mr. Morrison’s parents and other relatives at Pomona, Ont., where they expect tv svjourn for several weeks. Their many friends will join the Herald-Review in wish- ing them a long, prosperous and happy voyage through life. Millinery Opening Mrs. K. C. Lent wishes to announce that on Tuesday, October 8rd, she will hold her annual fall millinery opening, at which she invites all the sof Grand Rapids and_ vicinity toattend. Mrs. Lent’s stock is this !year larger and finer than any she has previously carried, and this means that itis absolutely the best in the village. She invites you to come on opening day and inspect it. Miss Cantwell,'the milliner and trim- mer who last year did such excellent work for Mrs. Lent, has again been employed by her, and. this insures that all work turned out at-her par- lors will be first-class and in the very latest styles. ‘* Damon and Pythias.”’ Under the auspices of Wabana lodge K. of P. the Sanford Dodge company presented the drama ‘* Dam- on and Pythias,” at Village hall Jast Tuesdayevening. ‘Che company may justly be rated as far the best that has yet visited Grand Rapids. The attendance was not as large as had bee: hoped for by the local knights, but a fair-sized house was present and the production of the p'ay was very favorably commented upon by all. The G. A. R. Danee. The dance given at Village hall ! Thursday night by B. F. Huson Post, G. A. R,, was quite largely attended land very much enjoyed by all who varticipated. ‘Tne members* of the post are well pleased with the result of their efforts as entertainers, al- though the net receipts were not large. The evening was not an over- | inviting one to venture out,but under the circumstances the attendance was quite large. He Heard Bryan. Martin Dufficy arrived home yes- terday from a trip t6 Chicago. He heard the great debate between Bourke. Cockran and Bryan on the subject of “Trusts,” Martin always has’ been a strong admirer of the great Nebraskan,but he is now more enthusi= astic than ‘ever in his admiration of the man.
