TRAVELS AT PUBLIC EXPENSE A Noted Female Character Makes Grand Rapids a Two Weeks Visit Mrs. Marie. Anderson came_ to Grand Rapids from Duluth two weeks ago and until Tuesday last she board- |. At that}: ed at the poor farm. time her case was called to the atten- tion of the county ‘board, then iu session, and she was provided with transportation to Minot, N. D., the county seat of Ward county, which place she claims to be her home, and where herlusband resides. Itas- ca county was perfectly willing to pay the woman’s fair to the prairie state, as she is by no means a desir- . able citizen. Mrs. Anderson was at the court house Tucsday afternoon, accompanied by her Uhree-year-old boy. She freely stated her case to _anvone who would listen., The woman hasbeen intheinsane asylums at Rochester. St. Peter and Fergus * Falls several different, times, and she has also been confined in asylums, county jails and workhouses galore in several of the northwestern states. She was taken befure the probate court of Ward county, North Dakota, onacharge of insanity preferred by her husband, but instead of sending her te the asylum , the authorities bought her a ket.and sent her to Duluth where she applied to the superintendent of poor for aid. Superintendent Cook had met Mrs Anderson on former occasions and he sent her up to Itasca county. The woman is well known to the author- ities of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne- sota, North Dakota and Montana, in which states she has not only been a public charge but a public nuisance as well for many years. She is a notorious window swasber and it is said when she starts on the war path araisein the price of plate glass fol- lows. A Herald-Review reporter happened to meet her when she was talking business to Auditor Farrell. She said it was so well known to the authorities: everywhere that she had Leen in the asylum many times that the reputation injured her chances of getting along in the world, Ste appeared to be personally acquainted with wany officials throughout the states iu which she has lived, and spoke theic nantes and positions read- ily he briefly recited some of her experi ‘The woman talked with intelligence and had no hesitency in speaking of her many imearcerations.

LIBRARY BYARD REPORT. A Very Favorable Showing Made For the | Past Year's Work of the Board. Secretary on of the Public Library board ha submitted his report for the past year and the showiog made is a very creditable one. It should be remembered that the library was started through the efforts of a few ladies of the village who were prompted to act through a desire to advance the educational interests of the community in that direction. ‘Phere was nothing to start with except a worthy ambition to accomplish a worthy object./After holding several meetings, the board was officially organized by’ the ap- pointment of the following members by ‘Village President George Riddell in 1900: Mesdames McCarthy, Huntly, Gunn, King, Kiley, E. A. Kremer and Gilbert, and Misses Margaret Doran Ressie Bradie. Teey were sworn into office’ by Recorder King on the first day of May, 1900. Mrs. ©. C. Me- Carthy was elected first president, which position she bas held to the present time. Miss Margaret Doran was chosen first secretary. She served in that capacityone year when Mrs. E. ©. Kiley was e'ected, after which C. H. Dickinson was made secretary. Through the efforts of the members the tirst library fund was created by giving social enter- tainments. In this way the fuod was credited with $75.24. The law passed in 1899 authorizing villages to make a tax levy for library pur- poses was taken advantage of and in this way a total of $613.83 has been added tothe fund in three years. Following is Secretary Dickinson’s official report: Library board annual report for the year beginning August 1, 1902, and ending July 7, 1903. ~ Meetings held, 6; attondance, largest 6; smallest. 3; average, books added to the library, 8; books loaned. 263; number of bor- rowers, 182.
