TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE tered ino the Postoffice at Grand Rapids _ Minnesota, as Second-Class Matter Official Paper of Itasca County, Village of Grand Rapids and Deer River aud Town of Grand; Rapids. t Page Morris No More It was announced in Thursday’s papers that Page Morris wouid not be re-elected to congress from the Eighth district. There will be a new federa! judicial district in Minnesota. Morris would rather have the judicia- ry job than to continue rattling around in a congressional seat. He wants something easy and wants it for life. In commenting on his pos— sible successor in copgress, the Du- lutn Herald say “J, Adam Bede is already in the field, Mayor Hugo bas been talked of considerably, but he denies that he has any ambition in that direction. Senator Daugherty has many friends who would like to see him start in the race, and if the senator’s health permitted he might yield to their entreaties. Then there is Frank E. Searle, chairman of the congressional committee, who has at various times been credited witha desire to go to congrss. Perhaps William L. Windom, who madea strong run against Judge Morrisin Duluth twoy ago, may again shie his castor into the ring, while Oscar Mitchell, the present city attorney, Senator McCarthy, of Grand Rapids, Representative Noyes, of Carltcn and P. Ellard Dowling, of other names to conjure with.” Hold on there, Mr. Herald, you seem to bave overlooked our Honorable Mr. Jesse L. Jellison of asca county. He’s in it, too. The ald-Review will only consent to one of two names yet mentioned— Jesse L. Jellison of Ltasea, or Noyes of Carlton. Theyre the warmest babies in the bunch. eounty, Eveleth, Fractional Currency. Farm, Stock & Home, Minaeapolis, says it “isin hearty sympathy with the agitation now in progr in favor ofa paper fractional curreacy. It is rauch more convenient than silver, is lighter and less bulky, greatly facili- tates the transmission of small sums by mail, a more important considera- tion uow than ever before, and will be: vastly cheaper while in no way in- ferior to silver used for the same pur- Since silver is no longer ‘real in the sense of being a legal pose. money tender or ‘redemption money’--it would be extremely interesting to hear one good reaon why it should be. used for money at all. Deny to leather the office of protecting the feet and leath- er shoes would become extinct at once Silver is forbidden to perform the duties of its traditional office, butis still used to make meaningless coun- terfeits of its former self. To du so is a bit of costly idiocy that has no jnstification. Silver currency per- forms no office now that infinitely cheaper paper cannot perform as well, and why the first is used in- ead of the last it is difficult to un- There is a Meat Trust. For many years Farm, Stock and Home has insisted thatone of the most arbitrary, damaging and welth- absorbing trusts of the country was the meat trust —the “Big Four” as jt is commonly called. This oft-re- peated assertion by this paper furn- ished material for its critiets to build the charge that it was a “calamity howler” a “kicker,” a preacher of dis- content, anda doer of many other reprehensible things. The ‘Big Four’ denied the allegation, of course, and qyriads of other people joined in the denial. But now an old contract has been discovered and is made public, showing that the meat business, the the buying of live animals and arbitrarily fixing the price thereof, and the selling of meats and likewise miming the price that consumers shall pay for them, is a trust of the qwost positive and offensive character. That it has -its prescribed pen“lties for violation of trust rules, and an urbitrator, employed ata high salary, tw assess and collect the penalties. ‘Cue recent unwarranted advance in retail pirces of meat started tne in- vestigation that led to the present revelation, and the end is not yet, but js nearer than itwas when there was general doubt or disbelief in the ex- istence of a meat trust. —Farm, Stock and Home, Shakespear is An Education. The matter of supreme importence in Shakespeare’s works is his cocep- vion of life and the noble art in which itis embodied. Tolive with the poet in familiar intercourse, by constant reading with open mind and heart, responsive to the power and ' influence and the deepest pleasure. ‘The end of art is to deepen and in- tensify the sense of life, and this end is missed when one hecomes absorbed in the study of language, form, condi- tion and circumstances. Some know- ledge of these things is essential, but the emphasis of interest and of study ought to rest on the indivisible soul and body of art.—Hamilton W. Mabie, in the April Ladies’ Home Journal. The Itasea Road. J. P. Sims formerly general manag- erof the Itasca Lumber company. was at the St. Louis Tuesday, says the News Tribune. He says that the plans of the company as far as ex- tensions of the logging rvad is con- cerned, are yet unsettled. The com- pany is figuring on extending to the Big Fork this season, a distance of ten miles, but it is uncertain that even that much will be done. If the extension tothe Big Fork is made the road will have a total length of 25 miles. NEW SCHOOL BUILDING The Opinion of Architect Wangenstine of Duluth Obtajned by the Board Architect John Wangenstine of Duluth was here last week for the purpose of looking over Central school building with a w to add- ing thereto or erecting a seperate building on the same block. Mr. Wangenstine at once said that the present building could not be enlarg- ed satisfactorily in-any manner— economically or otherwise. There is ample room on the north side of the building to contain such a structure as the board has in mind, connecting the two withacourt. Several plans have been considered asd when Mr. Wangenstine, or some other archi- tect, has submitted his conclusions it is probable that aseparate building will be erected on the north side of Central. IN JUSTICE COURT. Several Cases Heard Before Justice Huson During the Week. Phillip Zwick, a farmer living about eight miles south of town, was ar- rested Tuesday ona warrant charging him with assult. Herbert Eddy, a boy sixteen years of age, nephew of Zwick, was the complaining witness. Young Eddy’s parents jive in Milaca, from which place the boy came to work on the farm for his uncle at six dollars per month. He put in several months, but he alleges was unable to collect any part ot his wages. _Wed- nesday he started to leave town, taking with hima gun and two or three carpenter’s tools which belong- ed to his father. To this the uncle objected and at the depot, just before the train puiled out, be assaulted the boy in rather a savage manner. Marshal McCormick arrested Zwick and conducted him to the county jail. Thursday he had a hearing before Justice Huson, was found guilty ard fined ten dollars and costs or ten days in jail. He is still in jail. ‘The state of Minnesota vs Joe Hauk was another assult and batter case tried Thursday. Joe was charged with baving made an assult on one of the inmates of Myrtle Stewart’s re- sort. The woman appeared and tried to shield her assailant by saying that his attack was only intended ip fun. The other evidence, however, showed that Hauk had knock the woman down, picked her up by the hair, knock her down again and then play- fully kicked hera few times. One bundred dollars tine or ninety days in the county bastile was the stern sen- tense of the court. The defendant was unable to pruduce the amount of coin necessary and was remained to jail where he will earn the hundred dollars doing nothing. C. W. Robinson and John Howard of Deet Riyer were charged in a war- rant with having violated the Iaws of the state of Minnesota by running gambling houses. J. E, Sullivan of the Itasca Hotel, Deer River, made the complaint. The hearing was set fur Thursday, but before the matter came to trial Mr. Sullivan paid the costs that had been incurred, where- upon the prosecution was dropped. Ed. Wilkinson, a colored gentle- man from Swan River, was before Justice Huson Thursday on a charge of assult witha deadly weapon. It appeared from the evidence that Wil- kinson and Joseph McDonald got into abn argument over which is the best method of cleaning fish. The colored gent used a knife on his opponeat to illustrate that his method was the most effective. After receiving a cut onthe wrist and in the left brest, McDonald made a hasty retreat fol- lowed by the enraged Wilkinson. The Jatter was arrested by Sheriff Tyndall. He was held to the grand jury in the sum of $300, and in default of the amount required for his release he will remain in jail until June, The case of E. C. Kiley vs Ben Levy, a civil suit in which Levy is sued ona debt of $20.50—advertising and printing account—will be tried gensitive tothe beauty which pene- trate and inform the plays,§ is to re- peive from him the most searching on.

In the absence of the Itasca News editor, Father-in-law Johnson makes a very creditable stab at journalism. If the old gentleman.were not so feeble the Herald-Review would trim his whiskers.

Hox Minneapolis, Minn. HINDOO BORROWER. Ctalms He Has Returned 8% by Postal Card. Among the guests at the Raleigh a few days ago was a well-educated and pleasant-mannered son of India. Ha | had been at the hotel several times be- fore, always ordered the best, and paid his bills without complaint. On th!3 occasion he paid for his room in ad- vance and scemed to have plenty of money. When he was ready to depart, however, -he confided to Clerk B. A. | Smith that he had lost his pocketboot and was without a cent. He didn’t as< to borrow money, but when he men- tioned that he had friends in Palti- more who would help him Mr, Smith offered to lend him a couple of dol- lars. The Hinco was profuse in his thanks and promised to return the money as soon a ne reached the Maryland city. Y Mr. Smith received a postal d from the man in India, upon which was written: “I Licewith send you §2. Thanks very much. I appreciate your most noble kindness.” Mr. Smith looked on first one side and then on the other of the card, and finaily split it in two but could find no trace of the $2. He fs now wonderixg if the Hindoo is possessed of an abnormally developed bump of humor, or whether one of those Indian tricks of magic is being performed. Tle latter theory is the more inviting, and he placed the card in a glass cease ard is watching It closely to see if by some m means it will not transform a $2 note, payable at the | the United States.—Washington Post Ox Races in Germany, An ox race is held annually in many of the provincial districts of Germany.. The entry fee for the race is very small, but eaca ox entered must be ridden by its owrer. Furtherniore, tho rider is not allowed to have elther whip er spurs and he must ride his _ animal bareback and depend entirely upon his voice to guide the beast. It is here that the skill of the rider comes into play, as everything ¢epends on the training of the ox and the ability of the owner to direct its movements, despite the distracting noises of the other competitors und spectators. As the oxen do not raca on a track to direct them is no easy matter. The cider who can force his lumbering steed to go in a straight line is cer- ‘ain to win. Superstitious Mother's Cruelty. A curious case of gioss superstition, which led to the practice of barbarous cruelty to a little boy, was revealed, the other day in a local police court court in British Guiana. A woman named Ashby of Uitvlugt, a sugar es- tate, the defendant in the case, stated that she had dreamed of a way to cure her little son of certain faults. It con- sisted of hoiling an egg and putting it while still hot into the boy’s hands. Next morning she proceeded to put the suggestion of her dreare into exe- cution. When the egg was boiled she compelled the uafertunate child to clasp his hands tightly over it, the inevitable resu!t_belug that the palms of his hands were badly burned. as = nip te aie - ~ Notice of Expiration of Redemption. aes _ IN WHOSE NAME Subdivision of | Sec. | Twp. |Range.| No. of Y : Amount [Subsequent | Interes / ASSESSED.
