There is ample evidence of pros- rity on every hand in Grand Rapids, Substanual improvements are being made in every quarter of the village. _Among many that has been noted is work now being done by Logan Bros. on their building on Leland avenue. A stone walled cellar and one foundation under the entire ture will greatly improve the || vigorous today as he property, but the cost will not be small, C. S. Biock has the contract for rais- ing the building and Edward Hashay will do the rock work. In addition | the Messsrs. Logan have recently put in entire new bar fixtures and other- wise rearanged the intenor of their sample room, ‘The changes have vastly improved it in appearance. Under the new liable law recently | passed by the Pennsylvania legislature newspapers representing politicians as they look to the public, are punish- able by a heavy fine. J. F.. McCormick's new saloon on Third street is just completed, al- though he has been running for some time, It 1s one of the neatest places in the village and the popular ex- Marshal will no doubt do a prosper- ous business, Mr, and Mrs. Sherman Cochran spent last week with Mr. Cochran’s parents at Waubana lake, returning home Monday morning, accompanied by Miss Pearl Cochran, who will visit here fora few days. After being confined in St. bene- dist’s hospital for several days Al Jaynes is again at his post of duty with the Itasca Lumber company, We are pleased to kuow that he has fully recovered, C. E.Seelye has rented his fine farm, located about three miles sou:h- east of town, to Joseph Shrine of Boone, Iowa. Mr. Shrine is a prac- ticle agriculturist_ and comes prepared } to engage in stock raising as well as diversified farming. S. J. Cable has been home a couple of days visiting with his mother. When the talk was loudest about the threatened Great Northern stnke Sam was up the road sixty or seventy miles and he proposed to take no chances but boarded the first train that came along east bound, *of school age and new school houses About the neatest confectionery store and ice cream parlors in town 1s that of Gordon Meagher, His stock is all new and first-class. His fruits are the bestin the market—candies and nuts are equally good. The ice cream—daily trom Duluth—is most: delicious. ‘I'rv it. Pine City Poker: Young men who spend their leisure time in the saloons or loafing around the street corners, espewing tobacco juice and profanity, have no right to find fault with mer- chants and others for sending: out of town for help when it becomes nec- essary to increase their working torce. The local order of Modern Samar- itans 1s not enjoying what might be termed a boom these days, but it has asteady and healthy growth that is most gratitying to the members. ‘T. H. Shoaf is one of the best hustlers for new members and he 1s meeting with unusual success. McAlpine and McDonald have a boom of logs i” Pokegama lake that will be landed at McLaughlin’s mill as soon as a favorable wind blows in. The logs will be sawed into lumber with which the Messrs. McAlpine & McDonald will erect buildings on their Pokegama farm, After being confinea to his house nearly all winter from an attack of rheumatism Matt Schumacheris again able to walk down town, although he still shows the effect of his hard siege. His friends: are pleased to note his recovery and hope to soon see him fully restored to his usual good health. Thos, \A, McHugh, former super- mtendent of the county hospital, has purchased the stock of grocentes, etc.. that A. H. Kremer was closing out and in a few days he expects to open a store in Cohasset Mr. McHugh is well known, has_ hosts of friends, is a good business man, is upright and honest, and there are many reasons to predict his success 1n this venture. J. E. Sulhvan, proprietor of the Itesca hotel at Deer River, is another citizen of this county who has caught the western fever and last week he packed his gnp and started for Colo- rada. He will take a look over cer- tain sections of that state, and perhaps others, before returntng. He ex- pects to be absent a month or more. A. E. Wilder has not yet reported from the far west where he went a couple of weeks ago on a vislt to his parents in California. It is to be pre- sumed, however, that he is basking in the smiles of his fond parents and the delightful suns of the sunset state. During his absence Hotel Gladstone is presided over by W. H. Green, who | 1s a gentleman so well-known to the people of Itasca county that an in- troduction 1s entirely unnecessary, Mr. J. P. Sims was among the visit- ors to Grand Rrapids whose right arm became tured shaking“ hands with those who like him, It is safe to say that no man who has ever directed the immense business interests which were formerly under the control of Mr. Sims as manager for the Itasca Lumber company, retained so many ago, and that he may continue to tain his for decades to come is the wish of the Herald-Review. : Fred Babbett came in last Monday from the Big Forks country, Mr, Babbett has a fine 160-acre claim up there and he reports that his township, which 62-26, has sixty-two children and roads will be built there this sum- mer. There is not a toot of govern- ment land left in his township. It is gratifying to receive word from Duluth bearing the information that J. F. O’Connell is recovering un der the care ot physicians at St. Mary’s hospital nm that city, His— right hand and arm were badly’ aff:cted with blood poisoning caused by a slight cut onthe thumb by a piece of glass. ‘Tne muddle finger nas been am- putated. Mr. M. Rosholt of Feeley, one of the progressive farmers located in that section last fall by H. E. Grafi- aim, was in the village this week and called at the Herald-Review office to pay his respects and also his subscrip- tion. Mr. Rosholt com-s from Otter ‘Tail county wher. he lived for many years. Marshal Jesse Harry is again able to dangle down town, after an attack of typhoid fever, from the effects ot which he was confined to St. Bene- dict’s hospital during the past two weeks. While he1s convalescent it will be a few days before he will be able to resume his duties on the force. Dur- ing the absence of Officer Harry Henry Findley has very ably filled the position. C. M. King, who for the past few years has been in the employ of W, P. Nisbett, has gone to Nashwauk where he will open a jewelry store. Charley King 1s one of the most pop- ular and promising, young men that ever developed into maniood in Grand Rapids. He 1s a practical jew- eler of much experience, ieliable in his business dealings and in every way trustworthy. Samuel Cochran of Iron River, Wis., spent last week at Waubana lake. He returned to his home the first of the week. Samuel Coch- ran has been engaged in the logging business on an extensive scale near Iron River, but has disposed of his interests thereaway and will move to Oregon im the near future. Frank F. Price has about the neat- est summer cattage on Pokegama lake. Itis situated just south of the Tyndall cottage, surrounded by a beautiful grove. The building 1s ad- mirably planned for comfort and con- vemence, It 1s 28x28 feet, A kit- chen and bath room, 16x18, will be added at once, A conveniently ar- ranged barn, 16x24, is also onthe premises. The shore frontage is 270 feet. If Friend Price doesn’t take comfort during the warra summer days his case is hopeless. The many friends and acquaint- ances in Grand Rapids of H. S$. Wil- liams, who has been a resident heye for many years, are anxious to hear his stentorious voice. “Dad,” as he 1s familiarly and affectionately known hereabouts, left several weeks ago for his old home in Napoleon, Henry county, Ohio, where all communi- cations will reach him, unless the threatened strike on the Great North- erm suspends the transportation of mail, Excavating for the new brick block to be erected by Emil Litchke on Kindred avenue is well advanced. The brick is being hauled and Con- tractor King will push the work as rapidly as possible. The building will be 26x70 feet with full basement. The entire lower floor will be occu- pied by Mr. Litchke for his harness business. The second story will be used for living apartments, with the exception of the two front rooms which will be let for office purposes. Mr. Litchke expects to move in about the first of August. Word received by friends here from ’P. J. ‘Towhey and John McKeown, who recently went to Oregon, indi- cates. that the boys are well pleased with the country aud its future pros- pects. ‘They have taken claims on which it is said there 1s 5,000,000 feet timber on each. They contemplate engaging in business, and if they do the Herald-Renew predicts for them all the success they may hope for. Mr Towhey & McKeown are young men of excellent habits and good charac- ter combined with a business enter- prise that cannot fail to carry them safely through any country. A Neighborhood Quarret. Last Monday a warrant was issued for the arrest of Mrs. Catherine Bos- ley on the charge of assault witha dangerous weapon, said wearon being a‘ large heavy stone.” The complain- ing witness was Mrs, Sara Fuller, and the complainant was the person as- saulted. The evidence, as in all such cases, was conflicting; but the court felt justified in holding the defend- ant to the grand jury in the sum of $500. Bond was furnished. There could be nodoubt that Mrs. Fuller had been assaulted. The evidence was in plain yiew in several places on ood health and enjoy life || Copyright 2903 By ‘BM, Wasnan 4 Fischer co, McKibbin herscalp. It appears from the stories of the several witnesses for the state that the Bosley cattle had trespassed upon the meadow of Mrs. Fuller. The latter had driven them vut sever- a} times, but at the last attempt she met ber Waterloo. Mrs. Bosley ap- peared and a quarrel ensued between the ‘two women. Mrs. Fuller pro- ceeded to drive the cattle when Mrs. Bosley came up and struck her a stunning blow on the head. In the struggle which followed the Bosley woman came out on top, and witha firm grip of her victim's hair proceed- ed to “lay on McDuff” with rock in hand until Jim Afleck appeared on the scene and separated the bellig- erents. The defence told altogether a different ‘story and attempted to prove that the complainant was the aggressor in the assault. THE FIREMEN’S TOURNAMENT. Park Rapids is Making Great Prepara- tions to Entertain the Fire Fighters. The local committee at Park Rapids appointed to arrange for the coming Northern Minuesota Firemen’s tour- nhament and Modern Woodmen’s pic- nic have sent out the following for terested: “Judging from the number of ia- quiries and demand for information regarding the Firemen’s Tournament which will be held at Park Rapids during the last week of June, that event will be the most largely attend- ed and the best tournament ever pull- ed off by the association. A number of teams that have never taken part in the contests, as well as the old liners with improved personal and apparatus, will be on hand and ready to win or lose in thé spirited and ex- citing races and contests which the association has planned. ‘The prizes on all the principal contest have been increased from 25 to 40 per cent as an inducement for new teams to enter. A rate of one and one-third on railroad and free transportation for fire apparatus have been secured. In addition to the at- tractions offered by the firemen, the Northerz Minnesota Woodmen will hold their annual picnic at Park Rapids on the same dates. Their program will be before the public soon.

Remer, a farmer, drawn on the United States petit jury at the May term of the\United States court, which convenes here this (Tuesday) morning, was on his homestead in 141-26 Sunday morning at 7 o'clock‘ and it was more ‘than forty miles by road to Grand Ropids. He had no horse, and there were uo teams going his way. It was a case of “hike.” He had a little business to transact at Grand Rapids Monday morning, and fearing delays of one knd and another, determined to make Grand Rapids before he slept. The forty miles would have been a long walk for any mau in one day, but the tote road over which he was traveling was ina terrible condition. In places where crossed swamps he was obliged to make detours and was constantly moving from one side of the road to the other to pick the high places. Mr. Remer figures that is walked sixty miles in reaching Grand Rapids, counting detours and extra He left his homestead at 7 ing and arrived News Tribune. Another Ore Find. W. B.
