June 25th the Time and Minneapolis the Place Decided Upon by Committee. — The Democratic State Central com- mittee met at the Merchants Hotel in St. Paul on Wednesday of this week and fixed the date and place for holding the state convention. The meeting was well attended and was conducted with the utmost harmony throughout. 1t was decided to hold the convention on June 25th in Mif- neapvlis. The basis of representation will be one delegate for every 150 votes cast for John Lind in 1900 and three deiegates at large for each county, except Hennepin, Rams¢y and St. Louis, whjch will have fiye delegates at large. _ Itasca county will be entitled to six delegates under the apportionment. The conventica will be made up of 1,257 delegates. Among the leading Democrats. of the state present at the committee meeting last ; Wednesday the sentl- went in favor of Lind for governor was unanimous. No other name to head the ticket was even suggested. Dr. Geo. C. Gilbert, member of the committee from this county was pre- senbat the meeting as were also A. R. Clair and E. C. Kiley. ‘The county convention for the ele¢- tion of delegates to the state conven- tion will be held on June 2lst, and the primaries will be held some day prior to that date to be fixed and called by the county committee. One Bank; Probably Two. Grand Rapids is attracting the at- tention of capitalists. Far-seeing men of money are beginning to realize that this village is surely destined tu become one of the largest and most prosperous cities in ;Northern Minne- sota.

Warren Potter, of Aitkin, came to town Thursday and remained until today shaking hands with his friends and letting people know that he is a candidate to represent the Fifty-sec- ond district in a senatorial capacity. Having been engaged in business here for many years the colonel en- joys an acquaintance among the peo- ple that makes him feel at home, especially among the old-timers. Mr. Potter said to the Herald-Review that he found a spirit of friendliness toward his candidacy here that was highly gratifying to him, coming as it | does, from his old friends, business } associates and neighbors. Towne Goes to Texas, Former Senator Charles A. Towne is now a citizen of Texas. Mr. Towne has just arrived in the Lone Star state from New York city with his househuld goods and announced his intention of making that state his home. This latest move of the for- mer Minnesota politician and succes- sor to the late Cushman K. Davis in the United States senate, came asa surprise to his friends in Duluth and to politicians generally. Shortly af- ter Mr, Towne’s removal to New York a year ago to look after the business of the big Texas oil company, of which he is the head, predictions be- gan to rise as to the figure he was likely to cut in New York polities, he being mentioned recently as a possi- ble candidate for congress, and even for another seat in the uppert,house, where his St. Paul predecessor served for so many years. Whether the oil magnate intends to reside permanent- ly in Texas is not known. His locat- ing there, howevez, has aronsed inter- est in political circles there as well us resources in lavish abundance, the future greatness of Grand Rapids is no longer a matter of speculation. It is now an assured fact. A brief men- tion was made last week of the visit here of Mr. A. D. McRae, of West Superior, who was looking over the village with a view to the establish- ment of a national bank. Mr. McRae entered into negotiations with Mc- Alpine & McDonald for suitable bapk- ing accommodations-on Third \s' adjacent to the McAlpine block on Third street and Kindred avenue. He will be here today for the purpose of closing the deal if satisfactory ar- rangements can be’ made. In order to make room for the erection of a brick block on his Third street and Kindall avenue property, Mr. McAl- pine purchased the Michigah house corner, Fourth street and Leland avenue, to where he will move some of the buildings now located on Third street. Hon. W. R. Baumback, president of the First National Bank of Wade- na, and his ociates, have decided to establish a state bank here atonce. Mr. Baumback is well acquainted with Grand Rapids and its resources, he having put in about two years of his time here as trustee for the Itasca Mercantile company. He knows what Grand Rapids is and has faith in the town’s future. He represents one of the most solid financial institutions in the stafe and the advent of the First State Bank of Grand Rapids will be an addition to the, business community of no sma} importance. Jellison Opens the Campaign, At village hall last evening, Hon. Jesse L. Jelliscn addressed the people of Grand Rapids on the political is- Owing to the in- clemency of the weather the audiepce was somewhat limited in numbers. The speaker was introduced at some length by Hon. C. C. McCarthy. Mr. Jellison devoted his time to a discus- sion of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty and how it was the stumbling block to the completion of the Nicaraguan canal, and the which‘he proposes to remove if the people will elect hinr to con- gress. He also spoke of Cuba and the Cubans and cavourted through the Philippines a while. He is a rock- ribbed Republican and expects the people will endorse him instead of J. Adam Bede. _ Sn Graduation Exertises. Graduation exercises of Centra} High school will be held at Village hall next Thursday evening, when Jarvis Partridge will graduate. An interesting program has been pre- pared for the occasion. ‘Tomorrow, May 25, Rev. W. J. Palm, of the Presbyterian church will deliver the baccalaureate sermon, at which ser- vice there should be a general atvend- ance of friends. The people of the Village are invited to attend. all the elsewhere. Whether he aspires to divide democratic or populistic honors in Texas with Senator Bailey can only be surmised at present. Senator Towne recently built a residence at Beaumont, near his plant at Port Natchez, and he and Mrs. Towne will at once proceed ‘there to live. The new plant is nuw completed and the senator says that it will go into oper- | ation immediately. at he has Ta i luth News Tribune. Explain, Kelly, If You Can Our friend C. C. Kelly was paying avisitto his old stamping ground, Aitkin, last week, and while talking to the Republican editor tovk occa- sion to hand a very flattering compli- ment to the new school house recent- ly erected in that town, winding up with the following bad break: ‘See you have about the best looking lot of school ma’ms in the state, like- wise. Well, they have to be to keep upto the old town’s standard in the girl line.” Kelly makes is home at the Pokegama, in Grand Rapids, which said caravansary also is the home of a number of our school ma’ms, and after living in their so- ciety and basking in their smiles for two years or more it is beyond our comprehension how he could have the temerity and rashness to speak the sentiment quoted above, “The best looking lot of school ma’ms in the state” at Aitken!!! Think of it— and then imagine what poor Kelley’s standing will be when he returns to the Pokegama. He may be able to catch fish, but his chances for catch- ing one of our school ma’ms is~gone and forever gone. Just Take Your Own Mail. The postal authorities at Washing- ton, recognizing the liability of post- masters to make mistakes in getting letters in the wrong boxes, have fixed a penalty of $200 on persons taking mail out of the office other then their own and not returning it. The law as that people shall look at their mail before taking it out of the office and if they should have mail other than their own they must return it at once. It also includes newspapers. An ex- change, in commenting on the ruling, remarks that the excuse that it is the postmaster’s fault ‘cuts no ice.” If you have been getting otrer peo- ple’s mail you had better take warn- ing or you may get into trouble. — Brainerd Dispatch. - Jim Kildee Shot. | \«George Bishop, the Michigan street bartender who shot James Kil- dee about a week ago, was discharged yesterday by Judge Gearhart, no one appearing against him, Kildee was fined $10 and costs on a charge of being drunk, which he paid.” The foregoing item appeared in yesterdays Duluth News Tribune. The Kildee mentioned must be the former marshal of Deer River.
