WJ &H D POWERS MADAME BONAPARTE’S FINE SCORN ¢he Preferred Hiding Under an Eagle's Wing to Hanging f7om a Gosling’s Neck Writing of the romance of Ehzabeth Patterson and Jerome Bonaparte, af- ter the annulment of their marrage by Napoleon 1, Wilham Permne, in the October Ladies’ Home Journal, says that “toward her expatriaied hus- land Elizabeth exhibited nothing but contempt—a-contempt which in part she expressed for all Bonapartes,whom she condemned as a “mean family,” excepting always the one who had yuthlessly torn Jerome from her. But of Napuleon she never ceased to speak reverently as a man of genius whose relatives were unworthy the blood of the brilliant conqueror. She yefused to accept from her husband as King of Westphalia the title of Priu- cess Schmalcalden and a dower of two hundred thousand francs, and when Jerome profesred not to understand why she rejected hus offerand yet al- lowed a smaller pension to be bestow- cd upon her by his brother, the Em- peror, she sarcasticaliy exclaimed, ‘I prefer to nide unde> an eagle’s wing rather than hang from the neck of a osling.’ : SAgiiiE Jerome exposed himself to her sneering reproach when, having proposed that she might have a home in Westphaha, she sent back the reply, ‘Your kingdom is large, but not large each other again, and then no word passed between them. One day Jerome was walking with his new wife in the gallery of the Pittci Palace, at Florence, when Madame Bonaparte came upon the scene. When he re- cognized her Jerome hurriedly whis- pered to his Catherine, as Elizabeth silently walked on, ‘That lady is my former wife.” He took care not to tarry in the gallery, and the next morning left the city.” Seamans-McCormick. On Thursday of this week in Grand Rapids Mr. Arthur Seamans and Miss Lizzie McCormick were joined in marriage by Rev. C. V. Gamache at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs, James McCormick. The contracting parties are both well known in Grand Rapids, having lived here for a number of years and a large number of friends were present fo wit- ness the ceremony, which was solemn- ized at 10 o’clock a.m. The guests were served with refreshments by Mr. and Mrs. McCormick.

(OPENING CAMPAIGN|NINTH ANNUAL FAIR In Itasca County by the Democrats On Tuesday Evening October 2. Exhibits Far in Exeess of Former Years and Attendance Large. DATE OF COUNTY CONVENTION| WEATHER MADE TO ORDER. Senator C. 0. Baldwin and H. H. Uaw- kins Will Address the Voters of This County at Grand Rapids on the Eyening of County Conyention. Itasea County Agricuiturial Associa- tion Has Every Reason to Feel Proud of the Fair of 1900 Which Closed Last Evening. While most people these days are more or less interested in politics, yet there was none of it displayed at the Itasca county fair, held at the associa- tion’s grounds in Grand Rapids on Thursday and Friday of this week. Most everything else, however, was exhibited and the displays were fine and in great abundance. Con- sidering the lateness of the spring sea- son and the long weeks that followed with scarcely any rain there was reason to believe that the results of our farm- er’s toil would not appear to so great advantage as in former yeats. The management of the association, how- ever, was never before so agreeably surprised when the exhibits had been placed in the hall and everything was teady for the show. It not only equaled the displays of former years, but it excelled. For the first time 1t was demonstrated that Itasca county has grown far beyond the capacity of the present buildings in whichto make an adequate display of her agricul- tural products. ‘Ihe exhibitors were all compelled to take insufficient room inthe hall. President D, W. Doran and Secretary C. A. Buell are entitled to much credit for their energetic effoxts in behalf of the tair and the successful manner in which they man- aged every detail. Much of the work deyolves upon the secretary and 1t is only justice to give Mr. Buell full credit for most able and conscientious discharge of his duties during the past year. ‘The program of amuse- ments was not Jarge and the races Were not very exciting. In the trot- ting event A. B. Clair’s sorrell horse curried of the honors and first money aaa one of D. W. Doran’s flyers. erman Blood’s pony was the “swift” in the running event. Claude Bell came in ahead in the bicycle race.

Bald- win and Hon. H. H. Hawkins. They will speak upon the issues of the cam- paign, and the people will be thus en- abled to hear two of the ablest expo- nents of Democracy in the northwest. The primaries throughout the coun- ty will be held this afternoon in the several precincts, There is evety reason to predict that the deliberations of the conyention will be entirely harmonious. Fhere may be some contests, in the different commissioner districts, but the rivalry will not be of the nature that our opponents hope for. John Rellisand Db. W. Doran are candidates for the shrivality. However, the gentleman who meets with deteat will be just as enthusiastic for the whole ticket as his successthl rival. George Vient san active cat- didate for the office of judge of probate and he is assured of a large support. Orra Harry is still in the field for the clerk of court nomination. As_ thee are no other Democratic aspirants fr the office Mr. Harry will very likely be the unanimous nominee. INSTANTLY KILLED. James Lackey Meets Death at the Log “Landing Yesterday. About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon James Lackey was instantly killed at the lug landing just east of the vil- lage. The shocking fatality was wit- nessed by a dozen or more persons, but Jife was extinct even before the horror-stticken spectators could re- alize what had happened. It ap- pears that the chains binding a ear- load of logs had been losened, but the logs did not begin to roll. Lack- ey started to walk past the car and had proceeded about half the distance when the heavy logs began to roll with terrific force. He was struck on the head and must have been render- ed insensible instantly. Many logs rolled over the prostrate form of the unfortunate man. Both legs and arms were broken and also the back. ‘The remains were taken to Luther's undertaking rooms and relatives of the dead man at Aitkin were tele- graphed the news. J. W. Tibbetts of that village, grandfather of deceased, wired Mr. Luther that be would art- rive on today’s train to take charge of the remains. Lackey was a resi- dent.of Aitkin, having been born in that village. He was about 25 years of age. ete list of the premiums awarded. | ae tien te a ee | The boxing show aggregation that s billed to perform at Village hall Thursday and Friday evenings, ve a very bum performance on ‘Ihursday evening and yesterday the ket agent and manager went west ith the proceeds of the p2rformance, laving their pals to get out of town best they can.

Henry Truelsen has returned from femidji, where he spoke last Satur- jay. He is well satisfied with all that je ha$ seen on this short trip, and ays that he tinds among the voters in enthusiasm that locks well for the tause and for his chances of election. He will be working every minute of jhe time from now to election day in iscanvass. Tuesday afternoon he ill speak at Deer River and in the pvening will be at Grand Rapids. ednesday he will speak at Cass ake, Thursday at Walker and Fri- lay evening at Wadena.

Gibson, Ninth and Kingwood streets, was prettily decorated Wednesday evening, upon the occasion of the marriage of their daughter. Miss Hattie F. Gibson to Mr. George Booth, of Grand Rapids, Minn. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. H. Carver, paster of the Presbyterian church. ‘Thebride was beautifully attired in white organdie en traine.

There were 116 delegates elected and there were more than 100 present, in spite of the long distances they had to go. Ispoke to them for ashort time in the afternoon, but it was in the evening that I made my regular discussion of the issues of the campaign.’ “Page Morris was also there, and the Republicans had hoped to get the hall for the meeting which he was to address.

After theycame to me a couple of times 1 tuld them that 1 could probably find a way out. of it. linvited them to have Mr. Morris come there and speak on the same platform with me, devoting the even- ing to a joint discussion of the issues of the campaign. The chairman of the local committee to whom I made the proposition was very much pleas- ed at it and went off to Mr. Morris. He came back ina little while and said that Mr§ Morris would not agree to this. Iset the matter before the people in the evening and told them what had occurred, leaving them to guess why Mr. Morris would not meet me. “The meeting was a very success- ful one, and we had double the crowd that was at the Morris meeting. Our hall would hold 800 people, and while it was not packed, it was well filled. Mr. Morris spoke at the court house, which when filled would only hold 200 people.”—Duluth Evening Herald. Legislative Comment. NO YELLOW ON CAP. It has been rumored about that Captain Shook would not support Noyes for the legislature this fall. Interviewed by a Republican repre- sentative, Captain Shook stated that he was no sorehead, and that he would loyally support the Republican legislative ticket, and he hoped his friends would do likewise. There are vo yellow spots on the Captain.— Aitkin Republican.. TWO OBJECTED. Two of the Itasca county delegates to the legislative convention were op- posed to any Aitkin county man— one of them because he did not get any votes from this county when he was running as an independent can- didate for the legislature, and the other because men in Aitkin county helped to locate the Itasca capital at Grand Rapids. It is needless to add that these two delegates live in the once prosperous but now defunct city of LaPrairie.—Aitkin Republican. WE HAVE BAD RECORDS. The Democratic legislative conven- tion at Grand Rapids Thursday placed in nomination for representatives from this district H. H. Hawkins, of Carlton and E. C. Kiley, of Grand Rapids, both of whom are well known throughout the district. The nominations are eminently satisfactory :to the Republicans as neither of the gentlemen has a record that will assist him very materially in securing votes if the same is aired in a thorough manner before the people. This we have neither time nor space tu do this week, but before the campaign eloses we promise to do the matter the fullest justice.—Clo- quet Pine Knot. AITKIN REPUBLICAN OBJECTS. W. H. Noyes, who was nominated at the Republican legislative conven- tion at Grand Rapids last week, with his aggregation of delegates from Carlton county, played about as dirty a trick upon the Aitkin county repre- sentatives as can well be imagined. After pledging themselves to support F. M. Shook of Aitkin for the nomin- ation of representative, they turned around and made a deal with the dele- gates from Cass, which resulted in the nomination of Noyes and Ryan. ‘The Aitkin delegates went to the convention expecting fair treatment. They were prepared to bow to the will of the majority, let the result be what it may, but they were not pre- pared to be made monkeys of by Noyes and his Carlton delegates, and after discovering the latter’s duplic- ity they left on the afternova train for home and did not attend the con- vention. The Republican desires to record its émphatic protest against such politics as this. We didn’t expect it from our neighbor on the east, nor do we believe the action of the Carlton county man and his delegates will meet the approval of the people who sent them to the convention. qualities make it essential, often- times, that the supporters of the party nominating then’ should vote for them at the polls. Principles are greater than individuals, and upon this ground the Republican editor proposes to vote for Mr. Noyes this fail, and hopes the Republicans of his county will do the same, although we will be reduced to the extremity of holding our noses while doing so.— Aitkin Republican. MOORE AITKIN DISCONTENT. As Mr. Nolan would sayin his ini- mitable manner, of his little Irish corporal and his men: ‘He boldly marched them up the hill and then he\ marched them down again.” That’s about what our own Captain Shook did with the Aitkin county delegates; he took them to the con- veqgtion at Grand Rapids and then he brofight them home. The delegates left in the best of spirits, flushed with the victory at home and confident of aneasyone at Grand Rapids. As they took the 5 o’clock train in the early morning dawn Thursday, each face was radiant, smiling, happy. The Colonel trod the platform with 2 stately air as the morning zepbyrs gently toyed with his beard; the Edi- tor’s thoughtful countenance took on an expression indicating self-satisfac- tion and complacency as he sauntered to the depot and he smiled to himself as he mused upon the paragraph he had written about the people using “horse sense” at the primaries Satur- day. Bob Ferro’s talk was like ‘“The Brook” and we have been told, con- tinued so until the next day about 1p.m. Smith, Clu! and McMonagle plainly felt the responsibility resting uponthem, for had they not been delegated to name a legislator and a Statesman? And so they loitered to the train. It was a happy, jolly, con- fident crowd. Friday night they returned Had you been at the depot you would scarcely have recognized a man in the party. ® They had gone with their hopes buoyant and expectant—their heads held high in the air; they re- turned gloomy and despondent—their heads bowed with sorrow and disap- pointment. The littie band of six delegates and the Captain had gone with hope beating high in their hearts; they came home With their tail feathers trailing in the dust. Less stately and majestic was the step of the Colonel, even more thoughtful but less coinplacent the brow of the editor; stilled was the voice of Bov. Since then they have been busy ex- plaining how it happened. As the Aitkin county delegation did not stay to the convention, but left Grand Rapids three hours before the con- vention met, we do not know that they know much more about it than some of the rest of us. It was cgrtain- ly a peculiar thing to do—to travel 150 miles to attend a convention and then leave three hours before the con- vention convened. We hardly think it was in good taste, but highly dis- courteous Lo the other counties and will place the Republicans of Aitkiu county in bad odor with those of the other counties of the district. These delegates were selected, not only ts represent Captain Shook, but to re- present the Republicans of Aitkin county at that convention and they would have acted more like men and less like boys had they staid and par- ticipated in the proceedings of the convention. Weare advised that it is the first time in the history of the Republican party of this county that such a thing has happened. It is te be sincerely hoped that it will be the last. Atl o’clok Friday afternoon the delegates from Carlton, Cass and Itasca counties caucused. Carlton and Cass agreed to support Ed. Ryan of Cass and W. E. Noyes of Carlton. Itasea county declared that she would stand by her instructions te support Mausten. Within twenty minutes of the time the result of the caucus was announced the Aitkin county delegation under the com- mand of Capt. Shook, was marched te the depot and took the train for home. The convention met at 5 p. m. and Mr. Ryan and Mr. Noyes received the votes of Cass and Carlton counties and were duly nominated. Itasca county refrained from voting and Aitkin county was not represented. | The result is exactly as predicted in The Age. Mr. Mausten was the only man from this county who could have won. Had every man in Aitcin been in Grand Rapids, doing his very best to assist Capt. Shook, he could not and would not have been nomin- ated.
