This will consist of a farce, choruses, drills, etc., and will probably echpse anything of the kind ever given by the school before. Steven Jerabek, who has been con- fined to his home suffering from a se- vere attack of inflammatory rheuma- tism for several weeks, has sufficiently recovered to be able to venture out, but he is still a subject for careful treatment.

After a lingering illness that lasted for many months, Daniel Mann died at the county hospital on Monday of this week. The immediate cause of death was heart disease, The de ceased was one of the old-time woods- men of this section and was well known. Funeral services were con- ducted at St. Joseph’s Catholic church by Rev. Father O’Mahoney. Inter- ment was mad in Itasca cemetery. The school board of district No. 10 has let a contract to W. W.

McAlpine & McDonald will cer- tainly have an attractive summer re- sort, and one that will no doubt be generously patronized. While on his way to Fergus Falls last week Judge Huson noticed a large number of fishing houses on the lakes along the railroad, which caused him to believe that the new law 1s be- ing taken advantage of to an extent that will add considerably to the revenues of the game and fish com- mission. While absent the judge met a great many Grand Army men who gave him to understand that there will be a large attendance of old soldiers at the forthcoming Park Region encampmert to be held at Grand Rapids next June. Farmer U. V. Gravelle is going into the dairy husiness on quite a large scale at his Pokegama lake farm. He already has twenty-eight fine milch cows and intends to add to his herd as rapidly as possible. He will have modern facilities for butter making and will buy mi!k from farmers of his vicinity for which the highest market price wilt be paid. Mr. Gravelle is one of the most enterprising farmers of the county and with his progressive meth- ods his dairy venture will no doubt prove a success from the start. A Business Snap in Sight, Chas Walenberg has accepted a position in the office of Clerk of Court Rassmussen and hereafter will devote his entre time to clerical work for Itasca county. This arrangement will leave the bowling alleys temporarily without a manager. During the past several months Mr. Walenberg has had charge of the bowling alleys as manager for the Grand Rapids band and he says it 18a paying enterprise, but be prefers office work. The band boys own the bowling outfit and it is probable they will offer it for sale un- less some suitable person can be se- cured to run it. Here is a good op- portunity for some enterprising man with a little money to get a business snap. Grand Rapids has as mahy en- thusiastic bowlers as any town of its size in the state and with proper man- in the woods and he reports a very | agement it could be made to yield a successful winter. His t ing house | handsome income, BIG SELECTION BY STATE, More Than 90,000 Aeres Withdrawn From Settlement in Duluth District. The receipts of the local land office will be lessened to a considerable ex- tent by the state’s selection of 93,705 acres.cf school lands within the Du- luth district. S. BE. Atkins, land clerk of the state auditor’s office, and Claude Brown, his assistant, have completed their = work at the Duluth land office of selecting the lands in this district to be taken in lieu of school sections included in the several Minnesota Indian reserya- tions, and the land office clerks are now busy checking over the list, says the Duluth Herald. Although the local acreage chosen amounts to less than five townships, the selection of over 93,000 acres of laud. in this one district is looked upon as taking away the business of at least six or seven townships, for the reason that only those sections and fractions of sectioas are taken which are available fur homestead and stone and timber entry. Most of the present selections are small tracts, scattered over the whole dis- trict. As no swamp lands are taken, every acre chosen takes just as much from the receipts of the local land office. There is so much swamp land, from which the land office derives no rev= nue, in every township, that it would probably take seven or more town- ships in the present instance to sup- ply as much land available for settle- ment as has been chosen for school purposes. It was remarked at the land office yesterday that “two or three more such hauls from this dis- trict would put us out of business.” The privilege of taking land at will in the public domain was granted as an indemuity for the loss of school lauds on Indian reservations. ‘There is alaw which awards to the state sections 16 and 36 in each township fur school purposes, provided these sections are not within the bounda- ries of an [udian reservation. Ini the latter case the state is allowed to se- lect a like amount of government land in any other portion of the state. For every 160 acres secured in this manner there is a payment of about $2 made. Duluth will only get $100 ou the recent selection. Under or- dinary circumstances several times this total amount would be received trom one section, and in many in- stances from a qu«rter section. ORDER OF EASTERN STAR. ‘ oy Local Chapter Organized at Grand Rapids Last Tuesday Evening. Last Tuesday afternoon a distin- guished delegation from Cass Lake arrived in Grand Rapids. They repre- sented the Masonic order and came to institute a chapter of the Eastern Star. Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas of Min- neapolis, associate grand matron of ' the state, had charge of the institu- tion. The work was performed by Roland chapier of Cass Lake. The name selected was Itasca chapter, U. w)., Eastern Star. Mrs. ©. L. Pratt was dppointed worthy mutron, and she appviuted the following officers: Worthy patron, C. L. Pratt; associate matron, Mrs. H. D. Powers ; conduct- ress, Mrs. Samuel Patterson; Ada, Miss Josie Crossley; Ruth, Mrs. H.G. Becker; Esther, Mrs. J. S. Gole; Martha, Mrs. Grove ; Eelecta, Mrs. E. S. Stevens; warden, H. G. Becker; sentinel, Samuel Pattersen ; chaplain, Mrs. Mary Lewis; acting marshal, H. D. Powers; organist, Mrs. A. A. Kremer.

Gardver and wife, Judge Lange and wife, Mesdames Merrill, Giltis, Fred Smith, Battles, E. L. Warren, G. W. Mellett, Hampton, Judkins; and Messrs. George Stein and A. G. Bernard. Redmen Reorganize. The Independent Order ot Redmen have had a local organization here tor years, and at the offset had a goodly membership, but of late the meimbers have lost interest in the affairs of the tribe, and the lodge had dwindled down toa baker’s dozen, who tned hard to keep the charter. It ‘wasa costly affair for them, and they recert- Jy sent for a state organizer to help them out of their dilemma. Mr. Chas, Maurer of St. Cloud came here three weeks ago and through his efforts a big class was gotten together and in- ittated into the mysteries of Redman- ship. The Cloquet Degree team came up and exemplified the secrets and work of the order last week. The individual members of the tribe are much enthused over their organ- ization and predict that Drumbeater Tnbe No. 35 I. O. R. M, will pass the century mark inside of a couple of months, making it the strongest secret society In Grand Rapids. While they accredit much to the labors of a few ot the old members, the organizution is loud in its praise of Deputy Mau- | rer’s labors, and one and all pronounce him to be the most painstaking organ- izer who has visited our town, The | officers of the lodge are: Frank F,] Seat at ate ‘ My Line Bress Trimmings Rippliques Laces All-Over Laces Embroidery All-Over Embroiedry Are acknowledged the best in the city K.

Sheriff Hoolihan was forciably brought to realize the urgent need of a padded cell in the county jail a few daysago when he had Edward Stev- ens, insane, in his charge. The pa- tient tried to knock ‘his head against the prison walls and it was only by constant watchfullness that the sher- iff prevented him from self destruc- tion. ‘Phis is the third time that Stevens has been sent to the Fergus Falls asylum. The last attack was more severe than formerly and it re- quired the combined strength of three men to handle him. Several grand juries have recommended that a pad- ded cell be provided in the county jail, but up to date the commissioners bave failed to act in the matter. Take Notice.
