County» Attorney Pratt, who has | been “under the weather” for so long a time does not appear to be improv- iug as satisfactorilp as his friends would hike to see. He has been un- able to appear in court this term. We take it for granted that Mr. joe Miller, alias Czolgosz, is pretty much a fake—or a crank. All the members of that unpronounceable family were accounted for following the ‘murder of President McKunley, and there were none missing.

While returning from the funeral of Thomas McAlpine Wednesday, John Costello’s team became unmanageable and while running at full speed the sleigh wa, turned over throwing Mr. jand Mrs. Thomas Benton out.

E, Aikin arrived home Thursday after 2 three weeks’ visit with friends and relatives at Minnea- | polis, Owatonna and Northfield. | When about half way between Minne- apolisand Duluth on her homeward |trp Mrs. Aikin had a very narrow | escape from a serious railroad wreck. | As the train bound tor Duluth was slowly crossing a_ high trestle work | the engine of ‘the passenger collided | with the engine of a freight train. The latter was thrown from the track and overturned, injuring the engineer jand fireman. The passenger engine was badly injured but fortunately held its position. Escape from a bad wreck was only due to the slow speed | at which the train was mov ng at the | time. | Sete ee ee New Saw Mitl Frank Larson and Abe Palson will move the latter’s saw mill to Mr. Larson’s place at the mouth of Rice river and will manufacture shingles and rough lumber. In the matter of transportation of the mill Mr. J. P. Sims, manager of the Itasca Logging road, has offered very favorable rates. The mill will be a great advantage to the setilers in w country. An Other Dividend. New. York, Dec. 16—To help them over the Christmas seasun, John D. Rockefeller and his fellow stockhold- ers of the Standard Oil company to- day received a present of an 8 per cent quar terly dividend on their nold- ings. This brings the total dividends | for 1901 up to 48 percent, or $48,000, | 000. which just equals the “record: { prea tng, year of 1900. n two years the company has id out in dividends yi amount of its capital stock,a a_re- cord without parallel in the world’s history, nearly the full) NOW IS THE TIME. And This the Opportunity to Display Rara Good Judgment. The foregoing head lines refer to a subject in which all civilized wen are interested. Itis bighly proper and also nee y it should be so. Among the savages in tropical climes clothing is not necessary and so it appears that inhabitants thereof do not consider it good form tu.don more than a fig leaf and a ring in the nose —the latter as an ornament and the former as a dress suit. But its dif- ferent here, boys. It might be well enough to. have a ring in some of our noses to lead us in the straight and narrow-way, but the fig leaf would not do much goud as a substitute for an overcoat or a suit of clothes. This however is not what we started talking abouf, ex- actly. Now isthe time and this the opportunity to see August Johnson, the well-known and pupular Grand Rapids merchant tailor about suits of clothes. and overcoats. He has the goods and good men to make good fits in good style and on good time. Just about this season of the year Mr. Johnson takes to the woods to visit the boysin camp andinterview them on this important subject. He always carries with him an elaborate display of samples of the very finest quality and his prices are invariably right. However, it is unnecessary to elaborate on this fact vecause it is well known to his hundreds of pat- rons throughout tbe county whom he has furnished and fitted in years gone by. But it should be born in mind that there’s a big ~ad,antage in dealing with August Johnson. He does business right there in Grand Rapids, wakes up all his own goods and can be fonnd at any hour of the day. Now don’t you really see the big advantage in this? It’s plain enough. If thereis any dissatisfaction with a garment the patron is enabled to go directly to Johnson and have the de- fect remedied. This can’t be done with an outside concern. You’ve got to grin and bear it, and wear it—just asit is—or pay {additional money to some other tailor to get a fit. That’s one good reason why Johnson should have, and has got, the lead. Another reason, and one of importance, why Johnsop should be the leader is the fact that he has ample storage for suits and overcoats with which to ‘accommodate his patrons if they wish to jay away their wardrobe fora time. He does this without a cent of extra charge. e the advantage in this? It’s plain. A¥good suit of clothes or un overcoat is not safe packed away ina trunk or hupg up ina hotel or boarding house. Jolson has exten- ded this favor to a considerable extent in the past, and in, order to cover any possible loss by fire he has recent- ly taken Out additional insurance. Remember that Johnson doesn’t send away his orders to be made up. He keeps a large force of competent men constantly employed and turns the work out of his own house. Save your order until Johnson comes hea) p= he'll soon be there—and he’ll sur- prise you with what he can do in the way of goods and prices. Trainor’s Toys. One of the most attractive places | j in Grand Rapids is Thomas Train: or’s confectionery _ store. whole side of the establishment is completely filled with cvery con- ceivable attraction that delights the juvenile, and almost as much to please the older folks. ‘To give an adequate idea of the innu- merable desirable things this paper and then the half would not be told. Everything in the line of dolls, from a penny upto the most expensive kinds. There is no end of wagons and whistles, steam engines and Chinamen ,trick contrivances and all sorts of de- vices to please the little ones. But go and see for yourself. And then, too, in this splendid display there is as much of a useful as ornamental j character. Beautiful pictures —nicely framed. Glass water sets, etc., and choice pieces of Chinaware. There’s no use talk- ing, Trainor’s got the finest in town. As you go by his store just look in and you will be sure to go. His ccnfections and cigars are just | as good as ever, and that means the best. Sam Cone’s Latest. Sam Cone,‘ the popular represen- tative for Loeb’s wholesale liquor house in Duluth, makes regular visits to his many customers in Grand Rap- ids and is always a welcome visitor because he not only handles ‘good goods, but as well he is an_ interesting story teller and invariably shows up|} with a new one. ‘Talking with a party of friends on his last trip up, he suddenly assumed a serious appear- ance; and sai‘: “Well boys, when I shake hands this time it will be for a long time. I have sent in my resig- nation to take effect at once.” “How’s that?” inquired his triends, “Well”? said Sam, “I happen to have some pretty strong . political friends who appealed to the president in my _be- One |} to be) found would take two columns of | half for an appointment and in recog- nieation of the Hebrew people of the United States, of which I am proud to berone, President Roosevelt has appo- inted me to the high position of pork Inspector at Jerusalem.” After some discussion ef Sam’s new honors, a wag in the party asked the new in- spector what he would do in case Hugh Fox and Matt Schumacher appeared in the market of Jerusalem, dressed. “I should brand them as damaged goods, properly label and return them under the Chinese law of the United States.” And then the party broke up. ‘ Metzger’s Market.

Our Congressmen’s Opinion. In answer to queries on the part of the Timesall the Minnesota senators and representatives (save Judge Mor- ris) have expressed themselves as op- posed to the merger of parallel and competing railway fines: It would be uyfare to add that they would not dare in the face of the sentement cf the overwhelming. majoritv of their consituents to express any other opin- ion save in opposition. If the people are somewhat. disap- pointed in the tenor of the replies received, it is just to say that a sena- tor and a representative in congress | in the nature of things, must feel that he does not speak in an individ- ual capasity, must exercise more care than the ordinary citizen in his choice of expressions and, to a certain | own interests. It is: not’ meant that congressmen have a right to build his own fences to the obstruction of public rights. but that in unsettled questions their vote in the final event afford a better means of judging their sentiments, interviews prior to the taking of such a vote. Both of the senators and three of the representatives are lawyers by profession. ‘Their habits of thought,- their training, leads to conservatism of exprdssion, nor is this undiserable when the root of the matter is in them. The Times shall not criticize the} Minnesota congressmen for what they ! did not say, but will patiently await evidence (it believes they will give when the time of action comes) of their being on the side of the people !who elect them and not on that of the railway millionaires who can do them personal favors.~-Minneapolis Tines.
