A visit to our neighbor Hibbing will convince one that smallpox does not prevail to any alarming extent in that mining metropolis, although several deaths have occured. One will also be convinced that many citizens thereof are loud in their de- nunciation of the health officer who 1s_in charge of the care of patients. Jf ‘stories that are freely told on the streets of Hibbing be true the health authorities should be severely dealt with. J. ¥. O’Connell returned irom St, Mary’s hospital, Duluth, on Monday last, where he had been for several weeks receiving treatment for blood poisoning. A slight scratch on the thumb of the nght hand, caused by the breaking of a bottle, developed in- to a case of poisoning which soon effected the entire hand and extended to the elbow.

The base ball dance given at village hall on Thursday evening, was quite largely attendea and a very enjoyable time was had by those who partici- pated.

Whaling has graduated from the delivery wagon of the Itasca Mer- cantle company and is now one of the most efficient and best looking clerks in the grocery department of that big institution. His promotion has been well earned by long and faithful service, J. W. Johnson, our erstwhile towns- man, now one ofthe prominent busi- ness men of Cass Lake, was among the visitors to Grand Rapids last Sun- day. He was accompanied by his son, Master Roddie, who renewed many of his childhood acquaintances of former years. Wm. W.

Considerable kicking is made by those who use Village hall on the manner in which it is attended to by the marshals, whose duty it is to keep it in order. ‘The floor is not swept clean, itis said, and the chairs are seldom properly placed. This matter should be investigated ‘by the council. The marshals are certainly not over- worked, An account of the death of Mrs. Donald McDonald, mother of George McDonald of Grand Rapids, is given in the Woodstock, (Ont.) Daily Press of the 27th inst. The iollowing is taken from the personal column of that paper ofthe same date; “Mr. George McDonald, of Grand Rapids, Minn., is home at the deathbed of his mother. Mr, McDonald left Wood-, stock about 12 years ago, but was home last year at the Old Boys’ re- union, He was formerly a clerk in Reid’s grocery store, and had a large circle of friends 14 town.

Fraser has them all skinned forty ways from the deuce. While drawing in anchor on his headworks in Pokegama lake the other day, where he has a big log dnve, he hooked onto an enormous pair of elk horns and made a sate landing. The horns were at least three feet in length, uniform in size and symmetrical in shape. The horns had evidently been in the water many years as the prongs which projected into the water from the mud had wasted away to the extent of several inches while the portion that lay bur- ied was ina perfect state of preserva- tion, Elks have not been seen in this section within the memory of the present generation. The expenses of the ball game to- day and tomorrow will foot up to a considerable amount. While the two games that have been played were well attended and greatly enjoyed the receipts did not cover the actual expenses by about thirty dollars. If those who can well afford to pay 25 cents for the plaasure of seeing a good game of bali would contribute that amount there would be no deficiency.

Mr. King had the editor ar- rested for criminal libel. ‘The fool jury found the editor not guilty of libel and thereafter signed a docu- ment declaring that they did not believe Mr. King guilty of having stolen the so cents, The Magnet states that the Herald-Review does not deny that Mr. Gole asked for a bmbe.- We do deny it!

Fisher, a full blood Indian was returning from the lumber drive to Farley two white miscreants, anxious to enjoy the money the Indian had earned logdriving, some $25, assaulted Fisher with a bottle, breaking his arm and badly bruising his head; and when they had reduced him toa state of sub mission, robbed him of his money and left for parts unknown, Fisher made his way to Farley where he was patched up by a local physician, and on Tuesday came to Cass Lake. He does not seem to be seriously injured, but the foot-pads who assaulted him are entitled to no credit that his life was saved. Looks as if a little Lynch law would benefit that community, and a vigilance committee would fit the case completely, Fisher has a wife and four children at Kitchi lake. —Cass Lake Times. An Ofd Timers’ Banquet ~ C. E. Seelye, who was absent all of last week as a witness in the case agaiust Fred Jenkins, brought by alleged heirs to his father’s estate, reports having attended one of the most enjoyable banquets in which he ever participated. It is claimed by those in a position to know the facts that the attempt to dispossess Mr. Jenkins of bis rightful possessions was a deliberate and malicious black- mailing scheme, and when the evi- dence was all in Judge McClenahan promptly dismissed the case and severely reprimanded the attorney for the «plaintiff. As witnesses for defendant Mr. Jenkins had sum- moned some of the old time residents of the upper Mississippi, men who had lived iu Aitkin and Itasca counties in the fifties. The opportunities fora reunion of these oldtimers - would never be more inviting, and so Mr. Jenkins touk advantage of the situa- tion. He prepared an elaborate spread and there gathered at his home last Thursday evening the fol- lowlng gentlemen who have grown up with the stately pines of these coun- ties: Maj. Charles Ruffee, who was made master of ceremunies; C. B. Lowell, toastmaster; Hugh Riddell, P. H. Hughes, Joe Wakefield, Jas. ‘Thompson and C. E. Seelye. Grand Spectacular Carnival. Under the auspices of the Episcopal church a grand spectacular carnival will be presented at Village hall next Thursday and Friday. One hundred young ladies and children will repre- sent the commercial houses of Grand Rapids, the professional men, and ‘in fact, every business interest of what- ever nature, on the stage during the two evenings: Newspaper comment on this entertainment commends it to the public in the highest terms of praise. Georgeous costumes with beautiful calcium light effects are alone; well worth the price of admis- sion. There will be many striking representations, laughable situations and interesting pantomimes that can- not fail to interest all who attend, One great feature will be forty-eight little girls who will amuse all ina delsarte movement which is acknow- ledged to be uneyualled. This en- tertainment will be directed by geutlemen who have traveled all over the United States during the past eight years, giving the carnival in the larger cities of the country and in- variably meeting with pronounced success.

Besides the distribu- tion of pamphlets describing the coun- ty with pen and _ picture he will have on exhibition many photographs of farm scenes, public. and private build- ings, which will illustrate that Northern Minnesota is no longer a wilderness. For Duluth District. Through the efforts of Congressman Bede, Land Commissioner Richards has issued an order transferring back from the new Cass lake Jand district into the Duluth district all that part ot Itasca county north of the line between townships 64 and 65, founth meridian, and between townships 152 and 153, fifth meridian. There was much coarplaint over the detach- ment of the northern end of Itasca county from the Duluth district and through Mr. Bede’s efforts the change was mnade. A Uass Lake Case. The Cass Lake Times makes the following comment on the new town of Phena, in this county: ‘Phena is now nearly two years old and the settlers, like their brethern at Cass Lake have had no title to their prop- erty, waiting for the owner to move when they might buy the homes they have improved. Now comes the owner in the guise of a townsite com- pany, lays out a town and tells the settlers who have abided there since the beginning to get off the earth or the company will take over their improvements and drive them off. Looks like a chance fora first-class equity case if the company persists in its purpose. In the district court at Emporia, Kansas, Judge Madden denied a request that he restrain the news- papers from publishing the evidence and allegations in a case on trial. The judge declares that it was not the duty of*the court to muzzle the press. Evidence reaching the jury at first hand would not be impaired by reaching the jury again in printed form but even that danger was averted if the officers of the court did their duty for the jury was not sup- posed to be permitted to have news papers until reading matter_partaiu- ing to the case on trial had been cub out. The court could properly exer- cise its powers in restraiut of com- ment on the case but as to reports of the evidence and other proceedings incourt, it did not see why the line should be drawn between the pub- licity of the court room and the pub- licity of the daily paper.—Mionea- polis Times, NEW ITASCA COUNTY TOWNSITE ter of Deeds Yesterday. torney of Hibbing, was in Grand Rap- ids yesterday and filed for recorda plat of the new townsite of Snowball, Weated ‘about twenty miles north- east of this metropolis midway be- tween the capital of Itasca county and the village of Hibbing. The new town is situated on the west bank of Snowball lake and is six miles south- westof Nashwauk. Mr. Hughes and his associates are very sanguine of the future that is in store for their new mining town. Extensive pros- pecting by the Great Northern Rail- way company has already been done and it is proven beyond peradventure that there are immense deposits of iron ore immediately surrounding the ! new town. In addition to the known existence of ore in large quantities Snowball will also have the advantage of being backed by a rich farming territory that will add much to its rapid and substantial growth. Oue ofthe finest farms in the county is that of A. H. Powers, the logger, which lies within one mile and a half fromthe town. Powers’ ‘‘Headquar- ters’ farm, as it is designated, pro- duces thousands of bushels of vege- tables and grains every year which are consumed in the logging camps operated by Mr. Powers. There are many other prosperous farmers in the immidiate vicinity, and when the railroad reaches that point there will be a big influx of farmers to that sec- tion of the county. It is expected that the Great Northern extension will reach Snowball via of Nashwauk by August next. The survey is ai- ready completed to a point beyond Snowball. Lots will be placed on sale at once and wil! be disposed of at reasonable prices. Many of the most desirable business locatious have al- ready been spoken for.
