We were When we started told that we could not hope to sueceed by doing business along these lines, but the excellent patronage we are receiving indi- cates that that our system is the correct one. There is nothing that people are as particular about as their groceries. They want. them pure and fresh and will not patronize a merchant that does not keep them that way. That’s the kind of custom we get and that’s the kind we hold. People never come to our store and say: ‘see here. mister; this isn’t what 1 ordered—I want the best,’? because the bestis all we have to send them. (To be continued in our next.) F. D. POWERS.

One Now Established and Ready for ¥ Business at the Central School. WILL BUILD NEW SIDE WALKS The Village Council at a Meeting Tuesday Night Decides to Spend Some Money for This Much- Needed Improvement. The ladies belonging to the Woman’s club of Grand Rapids some time ago interested themselves in securing the benefits of what is known as the traveling library. This library is under state control and is for the purpose of furnishing small communities with desirable free road- ing matter and aiding larger ones in their attempt to build up a perma- nent public library. The only condi- tion governing the loan of books is that the borrower must sign and file with the librarian an agreement to observe the rules, a copy of which will be furnished the applicant. The library contains fifty volumes and no consignment of books must be kept longer thar six months unless by special permission. At the end of that time they may be exchanged for another set of fifty. Persons using the library are responsible for the safe keeping of the books and must pay for any injury to them while in their care. The distributing point at pres- ent will be the Central school library and the time when books may be borrowed or exchanged is every Fri- day afternoon from 4 to 5 o'clock. in the afternoon. The Woman's club is entitled to much ciedit. for having secured this institution for our town, and it is to be hoped that our citizens will show their appreciation by using the books liberally... We adyise our readers to procure catalogues, rules, etc., and study them carefully, as by so doing much annoyance and mis- understanding may be avoided. WILL BUILD SIDEWALKS. The Village Council Decides to Expend Some Money in a Much-Needed Improvement. A special meesing of the village council was held on Tuesday evening. A couple of applications for liquor licenses were vonsidered and granted, and the street committee submitted areport on the condition of the side- walks in the village. In the opinion of the committee there were several pieces of walk that should be con- demnued and replaced by new, and in this opinion the council concurred. The street commissioner wi!l there- fore commence work in the near future, and new walks will be placed at the following places: In the ori- ginal townsite, in front of lots 12, 20, 21 and 24 of block 49; lots 10, 20, 21. 23 and 24 of block 26; all of blocks 39 and 40; lots 14 to 24 inclusive on Kin- dred avenue and lot 13 on Third street in block 18: lots 7 to 18, 1 to 6 and 19 to 24, block 27; lots 1 to 6 in- clusive, and lots 11 and 12, block 17; lots 12 and 13, block 16; lot 12 and lots 15 to 24, block 15. Injthe Second div- ision, lots 1, 2 and 3 in block 32, De- Laittre avenue, will have new walks. In the First division lots 7 to 12in block 35, will be}favored, also the similarly numbered lots in block 36; lots 1 to 11 on Houghton avenue in block *82: lut 12 on Fourth street, block 32; lots 1 to 12 on Kindred ave- nue, block 31; lots 1 to 9, block 37, Kindred avenue; lot 1 in same block, Fourth street; lots 1 to 6, block 15, Leland avenve; lots 1 to 12, block 8. Lot 7 of block 3, Kearney’s addition’ will also be similarly treated. This is quite a ‘lot of sidewalk for one season, butit will be much cheaper in the end to make a good, new job of the whole thing than to keep piecing and patching from year to year. The Rebekah’s Dance. Monday evening is the date of the annual ball to be given by Arbutus Rebekah Lodge No. 150, at Odd Fel- lows hall.

Believing that it is the desire of every enterprising citizen to see that Itasca county and Grand Rapids are as far and favorably known as pos- sible, the Herald-Review will aid them in sending descriptive litera- ture to friends or acquaintences in other localities, and relieve them of all the trouble of so doing. We have on hand a number of the books re- cently sent out by the papers of the county as supplements, and these we believe will be the means of doinga vast amount of good if they are ju- diciously distributed. In order to give thera the greatest circulation possible we will send a copy of the book free to any address suggested by abyone, provided they pay the post- aye. In addition to the Stivers pub- digation we will also inclose a copy of the experimental farm report recent- ly issued, so that the recipient may buve actual facts and figures con- eerning our agricultural possibilities t6 go by. The postage on the two Pamphlets combined will amount to five cents, and anyone remitting this amount may have these publicaticns mailed from this office without farther trouble to themselves. Send in your names and nickles or stamps. JUDGE ARNOLD’S INJUNCTIONS. Prominent Laprairie Juaist Holds That ‘ Workingmeh Cannot Lien Logs. ; +The great question that has for Boo a month shared the attention the peuple of two hemis»heres with e Boer war and the Porto Rico ariff question, has at last been set- tied. Court Commissioner Eugene A. Arnold of Itasca county, has is- ed an order from his chambers at aprairie restraining fourteen men rom filing liens on logs belonging to Itasea, Lumber company to en- ree payment of wages due for labor formed. Such a momentous ques- n could, of course, not be settled off- hind, so after hearing the reasons these men should not be re- ‘ined from collecting their pay, honor took the matter under ad- yisement until the day following, when he rendered a decision in favor of the lumber company. ‘The laws of the state of Minnesota provide that laborers may lien property on which they have worked in order tq secure the payment of their wages, but either the judge overlooked this fact or he thought that inasmuch as he did not make the laws he could not be held responsible for their absurd provisions. This restraining order is against all established precedents, but then, Arnold has as good a right to establish precedeuts as anyone else. Senator McCarthy, the men’s attorney in the case, has taken the decision so seriously to heart that he will pay absolutely no attention to it and go right ahead just as if Arnold had neglected to be born. The judge has simply succeeded in adding great- ly to the lumber company’s costs in the matter, and has proven to all men that he is an ass, about 22 carats fine. SAMARITANS TO ORGANIZE. New Council to be Instituted the First of the Week With Thirty Members. Organizer C. P. Earl of the order of Modern Samaritans of Duluth. has been even more successful in securing applications for membership than he had any reason to at first anticipate. His list now contains the names of over thirty gentlemen and he expe cts to institute the new council the first of next week—dn Tuesday or Wednes- day evening. The order of Modern Samaritans starts out in Grand Rap- ids under very flattering circum- stances. The members are all prom- inent men of the village, the majority of whom are already identified with fraternal and beneficiary societies, and who are well equipped to direct the interests of the new order with the success that always attends ex- perience. It is expected that there will be present at the intiatory two or more officers of the supreme coun- cil of Duluth. On Tuesday last, O. F. Collier and H. J. Achenbach, mem- bers of Alpna council, Duluth, were here assisting Mr. Earl. They were very much gratified with the success already attained. - At Village Hail Next Week. On Ihursday, Friday and Saturday of next week Sanderson’s Bijou Play- ers will appear at Village hall in repretoire. They will present one comedy, one millitary and one social dramy. We are unable to learn. what particular play the company will put NEW LANDS TO OPEN Four Townships in the Red Lake Reservation are Platted. THE ITASCA GUN CLUB MEETS Elects Officers for the Ensuing Year ang Gets Everything in Readiness for a Suecessful Season’s Shoot---Jnne Tournament. The plats of four new townships in the Red Lake Indian reservation, in the southwestern part of Itasca county, were received at the United States land office in Duluth this week, which have but recently been surveyed by the government. The filing of the plats means that in the near future a Jarge tract of excellert agricultural land will be thrown open. to settlement. The townships are Nos. 158, 159, 160 north of range 28 west, and No. 160 in range 29 west. <A large part of the land in the four townships appearsto be swampy, but there is alsoa great deal of agri- cultural and timber land. The land will not be subject to entry until after a thirty-day notice has been published aad posted by the depart- ment, that the plats have beeu filed. Then it is not subject to entry as public lands usually are, but will be classified as agricultural aud timber lauds by the department under the Nelson act. The timber land will be offered at a public sale and if not sold, will be subject to private entry atan appraised value. The agricul- tural Jands will be subject to home- stead entry but with an additional burden on theentryman. They must pay 25 cents a year on each acre for live years, which goes toward ex- tinguishing the Indian right. Al- though a large part ef the fand is swampy, it is not yet settled whether that goes to the state, which is claim- ing them under the general law. Its right is Genied by the land depart- go into the courts. The formai notice of the tling of the plat wili probably be issued within the vext few days. THE ITASCA GUN CLUB. Held an Interesting Meeting Wednesday Evening and Elected Officers. The Itasca Gun club held a well- attended meeting on Wednesday evening at the office of Kremer & King. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President and ex-officio field captain, H. D. Powers; secretary, A. E. Kribs; treas- urer, E. A. Kremer. The above gen- tlemen will also act as an executive committee. It was decided to hold a tournament some time in June, the ; exact date to be announced later. This tournament will nct be confined to northern Minnesota clubs as has been the general rule in this section, but will be open to all. The execu- tive committee was instructed to procure a magautrap at’ once. This is the latest machine out for throw- ing clay birds, and while it is in use by nearly all the large gun clubs in the country, very few places of the size of Grand Rapids have them. The most pleasant incident of the meet- ing was the presentation to the club of a medal by Secretary A. E. Kribs, who in aneat speech explained that it was to go to the member with the highest average for weekly shoots at the end of the season. The medal is a beautiful one of solid gold, with the words ‘‘Itasca Gun Club” engrav- ed in the panel, while on the body are engraved two shot guns crossed in relief and surmounted by a miniature likeness of a clay target. It is some- thing that any man would be proud to secure and there will be spirited rivalry for its possession. The gun club starts out this season full of enthusiasm and determination, and before many weeks have passed will be doing some shooting that it will take a high average club to compete with. Ready for Cape Nome. Tbe Cass Lake Times says that -Walter Johnson departed on Tuesday for St. Paul to make arrangements for his forthcoming trip to Cape Nome. He will return to Cass Lake in a few days and on the 20th will leave for his future home. .Tom Sheehy accompanied Walter to St. Paul, and time will probably not THEY ARE HERE AGAIN. The Two Men Who Broke Jail Saturday Morning Were Back the Same Evening. William Bennan and Joe Perrault, the twa men who escaped from jail last Seturday meornivg are pretty clumsy artists. Although they had about two hours and a half in which to get away before the officers dis- covered their loss, they got no fur- ther than Laprairie, about two miles east of here, and were present for roll ; call on Saturday evening. Sheriff | Tyndall lost no time in sending de- puties after the fugitives when he discovered they had left, and Samuel Tyndall rounded them upon the La- prairie road about three o’clock in the afternoon. Several citizens of the neighboring villuge had seen two men answering the description of the prisoners during the day, and after this information the deputy’s work was easy. The men seemed neither surprised nor angry when Mr. Tyn- dall told them that in spite of their recent behavior they would still be received as members of the flock upon their return, and accompanied the officer without any ado whatever. They said that they did not think anyone would care enough about their departure to search for them and therefore did not attemptto get very far away. Besides being given a few years for their crimes the twain should be presented with chromos for their extreine yullibility. Sheriff Tyndall says that he will be very careful that no more such chaps get away while he has charge of them. Death of Miss Moran. Miss Anna M. Moran died at St. Benedict’s hospital in this village.at 10 o’clock Tuesdayemorning, April 10, 1900, aged 26 years. The cause ef death was appendicitis. Deceased w: a sister of S. J. Moran of the Pokeg ma hotel. She had -been teaching school in the Trout Lake district un- til recently when it became necessary for her to go to the hospital to re ceive treatment. Mi Moran had not long been a_ resident of this county, but had friends among our people. She wasa member of the Yuung Ladies Sadol- ity of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, ment, but the question will probably*} aud the members Of this organization accompanied the remains to the trainon Wednesday when shipment was made to Minneapolis, where the parents of the deceased reside. ‘he funeral service was held at the Catholic church, Rev. Father Valen- tine officiating. Besides the brother of the dead girl who resides. here there were present at the time of the young lady’s death two other broth- ors, one from Bna and one from Min- neapolis. They all accompanied the remains to {the latter city where interment was made Thursday. Paid for His Fun. A large, brave-losking chap drop- ped into town on Monday and pro- ceeded to amuse himself by pushing ladies and children off the sidewalk. Electrician Ole P. Finnes- happened along just asa lady was pushed inte the street, and it seems he didn’t like this kind’of behavior on the part of a stranger, because he at once planted a hard fist, propelled by a large amount of willingness and 190 pounds of healthy Norwegian, on’ the fel- low’s jaw. A lot of smali boys laid hold of the pusher and@ started with him for the jail, but Marshal Me- Cormick met them and relieved them of their charge. Twenty-five dollars and costs were assessed by Judge Barnard, besides five dollars in pay- ment for u door that the big bully had kicked down in his playfullness. Paid and discharged. Prosperity at Deer River. J. E. Sullivan, proprietor of the Hotel Itasca at Deer River, is experi- encing a trade boom which must be highly gratifying. So great is the de- mand for accommodation at his hotel that he is forced to -bujld an addition of 40 feet onto the east side of his house. He says that when he has completed the contemplated ad- dition his hotel will offer ample ac- commodations for one hundred per- sons. All the furnishings in the house will be the very best, the floors hardwood, and the place will contain many advantages vot generally fauné in a hotel in a small town. Piant Trees April 20.
