The stopping of the purchase of bonds by the secretary of the treasury as a means of reducing the over-grow- ing surplus was an indirect slap at the bankers whose recent actions do not meet with his approval. Some of these bankers while expressing appre- hension of a money stringency at the same time were coatributing to such a possibilty by retiring their circula- tion. These bankers have received notice from the secretary that the bankers are must active in re- tiring their notes will be least con- sidered when the} time comes, if it ever does, for the treasury to» make further cash depsits.. The relation of the government to the banks, he believes, not, or ought notgbe, a mere jughandle arrangement, the bank always looking to,the government to help them out of their difficulty, but never going out of their way to help the government when their turn comes. Business, he tells them, is @ good thing; butitis a beter thing when it has a littles patriotism mix- ed with it, than when it stands abso- lutely alone, All this counsel is ad- ministered with the upmost good nature, butethe secretary is making no jest of it. He realizes that the course of the banks in surrendering circulation may be due to eitfer one of three causes: the relative decline of banknote circulation as a source of profit, a desire to take advantage of the abnormally high prices of govern- ment bondsin the market, and per- haps the hope that the government may be thus forced in self defense in- to increasing its bank deposits. The retirement of circulation is not, con- sidered good policy excepting by: those who may profit thereby and secretary was undoubtilly right in ceasing to purchase bonds under the present conditions. The bankers desire ad- ditional legislation from congress on financial questions, but they must show the need before any can be ex- pected. The financial situation is a particular one at the present time and requires most careful considera- tion.-Duluth Herald. Interesting Services at St. Benedict’s. At the usual hour for mass, 6:30 a. m., all the patients who were able went to the chapel to see a lady pati- ent, Mrs. James Bielman, baptized by Rev. Father Valentine. After the gospel the lady went to the alter. Kueeling, with her right hand on the bible, she read the profession of faith so distinct and feelingly that every word could be understood by all in the chapel. Then she was conducted by her sponsors to the railing, where she was baptized, answering every word clear and distinct, showing that she felt and knew what she was doing in joining the cnurch. She received communion with the Sisters, after which Father Valentine read the gospel and delivered a fine sermon on the passon and suffering of our Lord and concluded with thé words of Christ in the gospel wheu he said to the Jews, “Which of you shall con- vict me of sin?” and saying to the Jady just baptized that she might use the same words, asshe had never been baptised before and admonished her not to forget what she had promised in baptizm; to lead a holy and Chris- tian life so that she would receive the crown of bliss which her dear Lord had prepared fer her in the Wereafter. I never witnessed so solemn a cere- mony before. ‘The lady left us on the noon train for Swan River, where her mother resides. May- she ever be happy. / From a patient in St. Benedict's pospital, Grand Rapids. Millinery Opening. Mrs M.

A cordial invita- pion is extended to all. “| wood, P. A, Staingart and Ed. Pool LAND MEN FROM DAKOTA. South Dakotans Want Itasca County Farms —Party of Seven Now Investigating. W. H. Hawley, a real estate dealer of Brookings, S. D., accompanied by I. J. Carpenter, H. Pool, J, M. East- ly bas all the external evidences that finally develope into a Dr. Bartol’s execration and gradually descend to the level of an assassin of character. Such an extraordinary babadilla should be pickled and preserved in alcohol (if he has not already been so treated) in order that in after years he might be placed in the world’s curiosity shop with Law’s scheme of banking, the moon hoax of Locke and Redheiffer s perpetual motion. The writer in the Magnet suggested my election to some high office thatI might write and express in a lofty manner my important ideas. As I stated before, Iam not an aspirant to any Office, but permit me to say that if I should pretend to write upon any subject I would endeavor to use some common sense and judgment, and al- So,express myselfintelligibly. I would much rather be a defeated candidate for office than to be made a side-show of for the edification of an audience of five or six hundred people while a veryable speaker was polishing my ignorance with Democratic sand-paper that hurtatevery rub. Bad grammar, slaughtered dictionary and murdered English are very undesirable news- paper paraphernalia. I will sign my name so that we may know each other. Wm. WEITZEL. also of Brookings, and Charles Strom- beck af Arlington, S. D. were Mon- day arrivals inrtown. These gentle- men had been in correspondence with the Reishus-Remer Land company relative to buying a large tract of land in this county for immediate settlement by South Dakota farmers. They are representative business men and farmers of that section and if they make a satisfactory report upon their return a large number, of farm- ers will immediately come to make their homes ih «this fertile valley. The party went out Tuesday, with J. L. Long as pilot, to look over lands in the Quadnaw district held by the Reishus-Remer company. Mr. Strombeck is a merchant of Asling- ton and he contemplates engaging in the mercantile business in Grand Rapids should there be a general move from his neighborhood in South Dakota to this county. More Settlers For Itasca. About the first of June the Nova Polska Land & Colonization company will bring a homeseekers excursion into this county, “We are already making preparations for it,’? said Tneodore E. Geskey of St. Paul, presi- dent of the company, who was here last Sunday. ‘‘We expect to have two or three hundred men in the party.” This company recently !pur- chased a tract of 30,000 acres and the price at which the land is selling ranges from $5 tu $15 per acre. J. ADAM BEDE IN TOWN. The Journalist, Orator and Statesman of Pine City After Page Morris’ Place. J. Adam Bede was among the Tues- day arrivals at this metropolis and remained until Wednesday afternoon, renewing old acquaintances and in- cidentally making a few new ones, Mr. Bede came on the invitation of the ladies of the local literary society, and on Tuesday evening he addressed an audience at the court house un- der the auspices of that organization. J. Adam is always entertaining and his talk on this occasson was no ex- ception. Last week Mr. Bede filed his petition at the state capitol asa congressional. candidate from this district. Simultaneous with the filing appeared the following characteristic address from his pen, printed in the St. Paul papers: “IT have lived sixteen years in and around Duluth, spending much time on the iron ranges, as well as among the farmers, and I believe I know Standard Commission Co, W. F. Sims, representing Swift & Co., has beenin town a couple of days. Mr. Sims has recently formed a com- pany in Duluth, of which he is pre- sident, to engage in the wholesale commission business. The name of the company is the Standard Com- mission Co. Everything in the line of provisions and produce will be handled. Associated with Mr. Sims are W. W. Brooke, vice president and A. H. Kfiudson, secretary and treas- urer. They are located at 108 Mich- ; igan street. Mr. Sims has resigned|every interest of the district. And his position with Swift & Co. to take| having -done newspaper work in Washington several sessions of con- gress, am familiar with every depart— ment of the government, so that I could begin effective work at once. And also having campaigned for the party in various states, am acquaint- ed with its leaders, and would not be a stranger in the halls of congress. If chosen to a seat in congress Ishall campaign throughout all the states of the Unlon, and I believe I could give some distinction to the district. “My personal work, influence and following were sufficient to deter- mine the result in the district in the close campaigns of 1896 and 1898, And my personal work there was surely sufficient to tip things our way in the recent close mayoralty contest in Duluth. “JT have done much for the party and received nothing. Having worked all my life for others, it seems time that effect April lst, when he will go op the road for his own concern. He expects to move his family to Duluth in ashort time. The Herald-Review wishes the new company unbounded success. McAlpine: Refuses. The last meeting of the old board of supervisors of Grand Rapids town- ship will be held this afternoon when the year’s business will be closed up. The retiring members nave proved themselves to be very efficient officers, careful with the public money which came into their keeping, and as a re- sult there is over $1,100 to turn over to the new board. Anthony McAl- pine, who has served as township chairman during the past three years and re-elected at the late election, refuses to quality to serve another term. Mr. McAlpine has been a very faithful public servant ‘|have no senatorial aspirations—in the bread cast to the waters should begin to return. *‘I was born a Republican of aboli- tionist parentage, andimy first vote was for Garfield. In 18841 was in aterritory and could not vote for president, but afgerward supported Cleveland because of his firm stand on the gold standard and moderation on other measures, while the Repub- licans were flirting with silver legis- lation. When the Democrats jumped the track and the Republicans took solid grounds on the money question, I paid up my back dues and was rein- stated in the party. “For a platform I stand on the gold standard and McKinley’s Buffalo speech, believing that trade conces- sions to Cuba are a part of the volun- tary obligation we assumed when we went into the Spanish war. “Because of my lecture work, a seat in congress would be worth much more to me than to any other aspirant, and I merely ask my friends to help push the cause along. I have a very wide personal acquaintance in the district, and surely expect to be nominated on the 16th of September. As every one of the eleven counties inthe district is Bepap tenn, the nomination is the real thing.” and his retirment from the board is to be regretted. At the con- clusion of the old board's delibera- tions Messis-+Blood and Anderson, the new supervisors, will raeet.and elect a chairman to fill the vacancy. A Pigeon-Toed ” Falsehood. In order to make a lie appreciable among all classes of citizens, even among first-class liars, there must be some possibility for speculation as to whether it bea lie or not. An article published that everyone knows before hand to be a lie, cannot be Of any im- portance to Thomas Pepper, himself. The article that appeared in last week’s Magnet to the effect that 1 was an aspirant for the office of vil- lage president was a deliberate and uncalled-for falsehood. Noone can truthfully say that I ever even inti- mated such a desire. In the first place Ido not think there is money enough in the office for a man to go after very hard, and as for official honors I have yet to learn when and where an ex-president of the villageof Grand Rapids has been made an L. L. D. or even received an invitation to the White house to dine with Miss Alice Lee. The gent who wrote the aforesaid article to the Magnet is evidently one @f those fellows who, if he went to college, wentas a spectator not as a student. His fool mention of‘‘Honorable state senator” as a title was calculated as a sarcastic slur. But let me assure the writer that I A New Dray Line. “Sandy” Kennedy has purchased the Itasca Nercantile Co’s. draught team.and has engaged in the dray business. He is prepared to. do all kinds of work in that line and will be pleased to receive a shareof the patronage of the public. Sea Shells and Pearls During the next eight days E, J. Babbit and G. L. Snyder will have on exhibition at the Hotel Pokegama 5,000 sea shells and pearls taken from foreign islands and sea coasts. Any- thing made to order from shells. They also do all kinds of wire letter- writing. You are cordially invited to fact, I only desire to remain a plain, respected citizen of Grand Rapids. I will say this much, that any man who practices such silly and shallow devices before the public should re- member that he is but copying the stupid instincts of the bird that bur- ies its head in the sand and then in- dulges the conceit that its ungainly body is secure from danger.
