There appeared in Wednesday’s is- sue of the Magnet a mild criticism of Township Clerk Mallette, It was stated therein that report charged the clerk with neglect of his records as a consegence of his having been in of- fice too long. The Magnet further in- sinuated that Mr. Mallette feels that he has a sure thing on re-election, Replying to this the clerk said toa Herald-Review man: “The people of the township have treated me very welland I certainly appreciate it. So far as my books are concerned they are all correct and complete, and ready for inspection at any tume by any citi zen. I aim not an aspirant for the of- fice now, neither was | a year ago. I am in favor of allowing the electors to do the voting. Good day.” Might Have Been Worse. | There came mighty near being one tramp less in the world yesterday morning. The east-bound freight was just pulling out when two tourists of the above-mentioned type made a rush for it and swung themselves onto] the :ods under one of the cars, The} train crew saw them and put them off, but they got on again. Both the would-be passengers had_ evidently been imbibing pretty freely, and one of them missed caiculations in his second swing act. He hung on all right until he arrived at the steep embankment opposite the court house where he let go his hold and rolled to the bottom ot the creek, a distance of | about 25 feet. It is a wonder he was not killed instead of getting off without a bruise. A Nuisance Checked. Patrons of card parties in this town know that there have been occasions when the arrangements at these func- tions might have been improved. At nearly every one there are a dozen or more children—some of them old} enough to know better, too—who keep bothering the hfe out of the players by their antics and noise. The Rebekah’s, at their party on Tues- day night, will prevent this by not al- lowing any unrully youngsters in the hall at all, thus giving older folks a chance to enjoy themselves. In fact, all the. preparations for this event would indicate that it will be one of! the nicest parties of its kind ever held im the village. Huson Post Officers. At at meeting held last evening at their hall, B. F, Huson Post, G. A. R., elected .and installed the following | officers for the ensuing year: Com-| mander, William Weitzel; senior vice commander, David Cochran; junior| vice commander, O. H. Stilson; adju- tant, H. S. Huson; quartermaster, R. H. Bailey; surgeon, W. D. Leeman, chaplain, T. M. Brady; officer of the day, Felix Mallette; officer of the guard, A. Louk; sergeznt general, M. A. Yancey; quartermaster sergeant, N. Washburn. Two new worthy members were admitted by transfer. The post will meet on the last Friday of each month at their hall in the old} school building. To Beside Which is Which. Public servants do not relish’ ad- | verse cniticism of their official conduct whether they deserve such criticism or not. The innocent man feels honest Fesentment to any aspersions cast upon hs character or competency, while the unworthy one’is apt to protest no less vigorously than the most worthy when his services in behalf of a con- stituency is discredited in the public press. ‘This is human nature and we can’t change it. And itis also true of the newspaper that it may cry virtue to shield fraud and incompetency, or expose fraud and incompetency that merit and efficiency may prevail in pyblic office. It’s pretty hard to de- ede, sometimes, which is which. \ |department are hereby commanded /and required to report at the fire hall jat 3 o'clock sharp. | Itasca county. Attention! Firemen.

It will be a good ad. for the town, so don’t fail to re- port for duty. ‘*Brave’’ doe Sheen. Joe Sheehy, an ex-pugilst, who 1s well but not favorably known in this section, has been making himself decidedly obnoxious around Duluth. | In the first place he had a young woman arrested on the complaint that she had stolen a watch from him, and when the prosecuting attorney moved to dismiss the case and the defendant was discharged the big bully threatened to ‘put a head” on | one of the witnesses who refused to testify against the girl A warrant was sworn out for his arrest and he was placed under $500 bonds to ap- | pear for examination on a charge of | malicious prosecution. KR Narrow Escape. Frank Poepke had a narrow escape from a serious fire at his residence about 4 o’clock this morning. At that hour he arose to put another backlog in the heating stove. He carelessly threw a lighted match aside which started a fire in a bundle of clothes lying upon a table. In less time than it takes to tell it the whole side of the building was aflame. By prompt action, however, the the burning material was carried out of the room and deposited in the snow. Halfa minvte later and the chances | to save the building or any of its con- tents would be very slim. Weshington’s Bay. Aside from a_ general suspension of business throughout the village and a a school\yacation, the birthday of the immortal Washington was nét ob- } served in Grand Rapids. Of course the national colors floated from the flag staffs on many buildings, which i. ample evidence that the significance of the day was by no means forgotten. In the evening the members: ot the Grand Rapids orchestra entertained their guests to the numuver of over two hundred at a masque ball. Will Remove the Remains. Mrs. A. M. Lewis of Minneapolis, wife of the unfortunete man who acci- | dently lost his life at O’Neill & Nog- gle’s camp last Saturday, arrived here yesterday and she will have the re- mains raised ahd shipped to Minneap- olis for interment in that city. Un- dertaker Luther held the body unul Monday but was unable to receive any directions from relatives and therefore it was deemed advisable to conign the remains to Itasca cemetery. A Great Sale. In another column will be found the ad of W. iL. Perrault, the clothier and furnisher.

He needs the space they now occupy for his incoming spring goods and will not carry his winter stock over. Anyone needing underwear should not miss this opportvnity. No Rnnual Just Yet. Next Monday should, according to all precedents, be the day on which the Grand Rapids Fire department would give its annual- dance, but this year the boys will let it go over until sometime after the lenten season. There have been quite a number of dances lately and it was thought wise not to crowd things to hard. Besides, thls is pretty cold weather for those warm shirts. Attorneys Go to Mining. ‘The following item, taken from the columns ot the Hibbing Sentmel, would indicate that our former citizen, Attorney J. N, True, is branching out: “True & Wetherby, the Grand Rap- ids and Aitkin attorneys. shipped a boiler to this place this week which will be used in muning explorations on their lands near town.” Rinother Clothing Store.
