The Boys Were Foiled. On Thursday evening there passed through here fifty-seven woodsmen for the Backus-Brooks company’s camps at Cohasset, ‘They were on a special train and the fare from Minne- apolis had been paid for each man by the company. On Fnday morning seventeen of them made up their} minds that they did not want a job and scattered in different directions, some coming here. They were rounded up and informed that they would have to work long enough to pay their fare, after which time they might. quit as soon as they pleased. Some objection to this arrangement was raised, but the men were finally convinced that the best thing they could do would be to comply. Fin Interesting Find. A discovery of great importance to history was made by Charlie Seelye and Al. Meson, at Po-Ka-Gaw-Boo Sagiegun, on the Winnibigoshish res- ervation on, Sept. 11, 1t was nothing more or less then the unearthing of the skulls of Ga-Ga Ge-Shib-O-Na- Ash, a big Injun Sioux scalper; Ka- Be-Nun-Give-Way, his head brave, and Son-Gum Big Sunk, his body guard. Just how the finders know that the skulls found are those. of the worthies mentioned we do not know, as Ga-Ga-Ge, etc., etc., are supposed to have come up the Mississipp: when it was first built, and all of them died before the dead and down troubles came on. The skulls were presented to Dr. Thomas Russell, who says that he sees nothing remarkable about them. Diligent inquiry fails to reveal anyone in this neighborhood whoever heard of the eminent gentlemen who owned them while there was grey matter in them, but Charlie and Al. vouch for the fact that they were prominent characters, and very few will question the truthfulness of their statement. Cable’s Bill of Fare If you want to see something that will make your mouth water—if you want to look upon the finest line of rare delicacies ever displayed by a store in the northwest—go and take a look at Cable’s show window. You will see there the tenderest milk pigs surrounded by sweet potatoes; large, rich frogs’ legs, choice domestic and wild ducks and dehciou$ pegions.} These are things fit for the table of a king, ard you should secure at least a portion of them for your dinner to- morrow. But Cables goods ere not all in his show window—he has other and more stable articles. ‘There’s roast prime beef, French mutton chops. and leg of lamb. Or, you might like. something in the line of fish. If you do, read this. list: the finest fresh. hallibut, whitefish, Colum- bia river salmon and Great Northern pike, with ‘choice. Baltimore aysters the like of which has never been seen here before. Of course you'll want some vege- tables, and Cable has them. Celery, lettuce, sweet potatoes —everything that it is po-sible to procure, Then in fruits you will find grapes, pears, bananas, oranges, lemons, Cane Mail | Cod cranberries and barrels and bar- fels of apples. : Philbin Advanced. D. M. Philbin has been promoted on the Eastern to the position of gen- eral superintendent of the operating department. Mr. Philvin is one of the most popular and successful rail- road men im the west, and his ad- vancement 1s well merited. Married at Pokegama. It rhay not be generally known, but it 1s a fact, just-the same, that Farmer Levi Lyons of Pokegama, and Miss Lena Jacobi were marned a week ago last Monday at. Mr. Lyons’ home by Justice Holman. It may be a htue late for congratulations, but they are hereby extended, nevertheless. New Restaurant. W. J. Kelley is having the interior of his sample room rearranged and will put in a first-class metropolitan restaurant. Web Gilhland has the eontract to build additional room at- tached to the rear of the building to be used as a kitchen. Dave Cham- bers will preside over the new restaur- ant which is a guarantee that it will excell all others in the village. A Growing Organization. The Modern Wodmen of America is one of the youngest secret organ- izations in this town, but it 1s also one ot the largest. Every meeting night its methbership is increased by the addition of four or five names, ‘i he insurance feature of the order is very popular here, and as the organization is considered a sale and staple one the lodge here will undoubtedly enjey a steady increase. Fix the Bridges. Unless a little bridge repairing is dene pretty quick ou some of the roads 1n this vicinity, some one will be liable to a suit for damages. ‘Thomas Correns informs us that the bridge on the Huff road to Pokegama lake 1s siinply full of holes, uo less than seven planks being broken, ‘This 1s danger- ous as a horse could very easly break its leg by stepping on a broken plank or into a hole. ' Three Horses Drowned. B. P. Munson lost three ‘valuable horses in Prairie river at Armstrong rapids, about 35 miles north of town, last week. Austin Gardner was driv- ing tour horses with a load of supplies to one of Mr. Munson’s camps when the accident happened. ‘Ihe river at that point is forded and when the horses were in the imiddle of the stream one of them laid quietly down and refused to get up. In the con- fusion that followed two others were thrown down and the three were lost. Christmas Books Christmas books for children are already arriving at Glover’s Confec- tionery. If the ladies want some- thing real nice for the children, come in now and make your selections and have them put aside until the day be- fore Christmas. They will not charge any siorage and you will: have the books when you want them.

All firemen are requested to be present and the election of officers will take place andsvother business of Importance transacted. Chief _ Fuller says he will not be a candidate tor re- election as he has not the time to de- vote to it. This. will be a matter of regret to the people as well as the members of the department, as Mr. Fuller has made an excellent chief. More Live Stock. On his tecent trip to the Twin Cities and other places, Superintendent Chapman of the experimental farm purchased three cows. and one horse for the station here. It is the inten- tion of the management to go into dairying quite extensively and this in- dustry is bound tu be one of Itasca’s leaders in the near future. Ex- periments in live-stock, keeping and. butter-making, have been very satis- factory at the farm and with the in- creased number of cows now there, some very tangible results should follow. Metzger’s Market Mention The longer Metzger does business at his new stand, the better he likes it and the better his customers appear to hke it, judging from his mcrease in trade.. He has a much larger stock than ever before and it 1s even more select. He will have some rare dishes to offer today, and every lady, gentle- man and child who has any market- ing to do should call at Metzger’s, There well be some very tempting poultry displayed and also game. His prime roasts of beef can’t be-beat. Veal roasts, leg of lamb, etc., will be the finest. He has made provision to have venison and moose in abund- ance during the brief open season, and the opportunity should be taken advantage of. Celery, Cape Cod cranberries, sweet potatoes, etc. As usual, Metz- ger’s butter and eggs are fresh and sweet. ; Remember also that he carries a full line of canned goods.
