The re- ports had a full grown village, with banks, hotels, stores and everything complete, even the Salvation Army. The history of this city goes back | to the time Editor Bernard was in | Washington lobbying for the Morris | bill opening the Chippewa reservation: Subsequent to its passage a bill went } through congr allowing laud on the Chippewa reservation to be taken under certain restrictions for town: site purposes. Prominent Cass Lake, Duluth and Washington men to the number of thirty-two filed on 320 acres of land, ten acres being allowed each claimant, one mile west of Bena, the present town. This land con- tained about $30.000 worth of stand~ ing pine. After thirty days, without fulfilling the requirements of the law, these parties attempted to prove up on their holdings but the Indians have contested their right to the $30,- 000 worth of timber, and the taking of their lands. As the established town of Bena on the government highway between Leech and Winni- bigoshish lake having already a num- ber of stores, hotels, a livery, black- smith shop, depet and water tank was a very satisfactory location for the city. To persons at Cass Lake and Bena conversant with the facts it looks like a big graft that the govern- ment ought to look into very care- fully before taking final action. H To Prevent Smutty Wheat. Prof. W. M. Hayes of the agricul- tural college of the state university, makes tbe following recommendation to farmers: All varities of Wheat are subject to smut, and all seed should be treated with formaldehyde, or, as it is sometimes called, formaline. Make a solution of one pound of for- maldehyde in forty gallons of water and sprinkle enough on the wheat to mcisten it. Shovel over until dried, or sow afier a few hours, opening the secder to sow several extra quarts per acre of the swolenseed. ‘I'he cost of the medicine and labor is so slight, only | {about three cents per zecre, that who- ever sends smutty wheat to market is advertising that he is a negligent farmer. All who aspire to be seed growers, and especially official seed cu-operators for the State Expiriment Station, should clean their seed every. year with this effective remedy. Evea where the seed is not known to be affected, this remedy should ‘be Try It. Have a Case Delivered to Your Home. applied ifthe crop is designed to be sold for seed. SS _|WHO IS THE LIAR? ‘| printed the facts of what took place, * the district and state conventions as \| ptepared by the committee. ‘ ubanimously had his name been pro- | Would not be indorsed as a delegate to By Printing a Correct. Report of. Re- publican County Convention the Herald-Review Incites the Wfath of the One-man Organ. In its Wednesday’s issue the Magnet makes bold to stigmatize the editor of the Herald-Review as a liar and then proceeds to prove that he ish’t a liar. The Magnet says that by circulating falsehoods this paper hopes to create dissension in the local publican ranks and it then proceeds to lambaste certain Republican lead- ers with a vigor that cannot fail to disrupt the party—if we admit that Editor Stuart, the Magnet and D. M. Gunn represent anything in the party outside of themselves. If these two gentlemen and their organ are tre constituent elements of what they are pleased to term a party faction, they a be considered as already dissrupt- ed, and hence no harm has been done. This paper made a _repart of the con- vention as a matter of news and it and nothing but the facts. ‘The Mag- net says that Mr. Gunn scratched his own name off the list of delegates to ‘This is une, and in doimg so Mr. Gunn was only depriving the convention of that pleasure. Mr, Gunn tested hisstreneth en he personally placed the name August Johnson before the con- ntion for chairman. }t is said that r. Johnson -would have been elect posed by anyone except Gunn. As it was he was defeated by a two to one vote, This was a hint to Mr. “Gunn as to how he stood with the egunty delegates and realized that he the conventions. Small thanks to =. that he refused to submit his name td a vote. When it 1s claimed tor him that he did not wish to be a member the delegation the claim is com- pietely contradicted by the fact that the proxy of W. C. Gilbert. These bis countrymen, when the marshal interfered to inform the party that they were disturbing the peace. Au- rumade demonstrations and talked Finn in amanner that indicated to the marshal that he proposed to do as he saw fit ia the premises. In or- der to impress upon the foreigner the necessity of observing certain laws and regulations Officer Harry arrest ed the beligerant Finlauder and Started with him to the jail. When crossing the bridge Anterson made a lunge at Harry’s body with a knife which cut through bis clothes and made quite an impression on a bunch of letters in his inside pocket, Had it not been for the letters the knife blade would no doubt’ have penetrat- ;ed the body and caused a had wound. The fellow was safely landed in jail and Thursday morning was brought before Justice McEwan on a charge of resisting an officer and making as- sault witha dangerous weapon. He was held to the grand jury. TRIED FOR INSANITY Silas Clark’s Actions in Foliowing Citizens Brings Him Into Court. Silas Clark, an old-timer here- abouts, who was sentenced at the Juve term of district court wo a term of six months in the penitentiary for drawing a revolver and ‘threatening to shoot ex-Marshal J. F. McCormick, was up before Judge of Probate Hu- son last Friday on a charge of in- sanity. Clark returned to Grand Rapids after bis release from prison. His former trouble was brought about by his resentment of imaginary wrongs. There is no doubt that he was mentally unbalanced at the time. For no reason whatever, he imagined that Frank McKeown, J. F. McCor mick and others were following him for the purpose of doing him bodily harm. He went armed and one aight he drew a revolver and stuck it un- der Mr, McCormick’s nose and threat- ened to blow his brains out. Of late he bas been following McKeown and McCormick whenever they appeared te in the Duluth convention on ate facts, and they conclusively prove who the liar is. The Magnet says v tl convenuon was inspired by a Repub- lican office-holder. When the fresh editor of the Magnet learns to know the Herald-Review and its editor he will be wise to the fact that no outside influence dictates the policy of this pafer. He will learn, as others have learned in this community, that the Herald-Review cannot be bought, browbeaten or bulldozed. This pol- icy has been conscientiously adhered to since its establishment, and as a consequence whatit has to say on pub- lic questions carries some influeuce with the people of Itasca county. After posiuvily asserting that there was no dissensign in the Republican convention except that which existed in the imagination of the Herald-Re- view, the Magnet proves that there was disse: s on by characterizing cer- tain Republican leaders as traitors to the party and with having conspired with Democratic leaders to pack the Republican convention “with a num- ber of men who had _ no legal creden- tials; men who are with the Demo- crauc leaders and _ who voted as they wanted.” Why did the Magnet not make known these alleged conditions in_ its origina] report of the convention? Because these conduions did not ex- ist, and because it was the desire of the Magnet to pass unnoticed the de- feat of Gunn. When the Herala- Review printed the facts it was neces- sary for the Magnet to make a de- fense of its defeated aspirant for the office of railroad and warehouse com- missioner, and hence the cry “Dem- ocratic influence and Republican traitors” was exhumed and exhibited as the cause of itall. If the Magnet is an honest representative of the Re- publican party in this county’and it has discovered traitors in the ranks thereof it is the plain duty of that paper io give their names to the pub- lic and either lash them into line or lash them out of the*party. ‘The Magnet refers to Republican office- heluers as being the objectionable ones. The Republican county office-holders atthe present time are Judge of Pro- bate Huson, Clerk of Court Rassmus- sen, Attorney Spear and Mrs. Hattie F. Booth, superintendent of schools. | Does the Magnet include all of these or only some of them in its terrible arrignment of the perfidy of office- holders? A Bad Finlander. If Marshal Harry had- not carried a number of letters ‘in his inside coat pocket last Wednesday eveniny he probably would have been disem- boweled by a drunken Finlander. Auru Anterson was having aloud on the streets after dark and finally they entered complaint, believing lark to beinsane. At the. hearing before the court he appeared rational enough and the jurors, Drs. Russell and Gilbert, did not feel justified in committing bim. CHURCH ORGANIZED Local Congregation of German Eyan- gelical Synod Elecis Trustees. For some tine past Rev. E. J. Fleer of St. Paul, has been making regular visits to Grand Rapids and holding German Evangelical services. He found a ready response to his endeav- ors to build up a local congregation, apd as wresult a business meeting of the members was held at the M. E. church last Sunday evening and a ehureh organization instituted by the election of the following trustees: F. J. J. Mueller, Fredrick Koenig, J. Kirschbaum, R. W. Heideman, W. Neuman. The work done so far has been carried on under the direction ofthe home missionary board. It is the purpose of the newly elected trustees to plan for the erection of a chyren building While the member- ship is not large at present consider- able interest is showo in the under- taking andit is hoped that success will crown their efforts. Logs In the Mississippi. it is said that the Mississippi river bed from St. Cloud to Minneapol?s is literally paved with fine logs that are said to be worth millions of dollars. In sinking a caisson in the river at Minneapolis last week out of a space measuring twelve by sixty feet sixty- three logs scaling over 7,000 feet were removed from the river bed. The logs in the bottom of the river all bear marks showing original owner- ship and if the logs ever arg brought up the “awners, heirs or assigus will claim them, so that the logs will re- main at the bottom of the river un— less a pool of some kind is formed for raising them and arrangements made for paying for the cost of getting the logs out which would probably be rather expe nsive.—Princeton Union, Not Necessarily So. Dan Gunn, the Dunn leader in |Itasca county, put up a_ ticket over in Grand Rapids Tuesday, to which the voters did not take very kindly. {t wagdefeated by a vote of 330 to 81. enever the Magnet and Mr. Gunn say that Itasca 1s going to send a jsolid Dunn delegation to the state convention, 1 need not necessarily be taken for a fact.—Wadena Pioneer time incompany with a number of Journal. DEFECTIVE DArEe WEALTH OF ITASCA A Few Facts Briefly Told of Our Coun- ty’s Great Advantages. Henry Funkley tells a whole vol- ume in the fullowing brief communi- cation to the Big Fork Compass: “True there are vast domains yet to be opened up on the American con- tinent. This is very fortunate as every foot of it will have to be opened up unless in the meantime we run up against the toot of Gabriel’s bugle. But where is there a field that for its fertility uf soil combined with a sufficient rainfall and easy acces- sibility to market compares with Northern Minnesota? People will pot settle upon the rainless plains of the west as long as there is equa'ly as good soil obtain- able in the rain “belt. And one of the main reasons why Northern Minnesota is not already biossoming forth as well developed fields of agri- culture, dotted with creameries and elevators, is that in thethustle and bustle” of trying to take care of the rapidily increaseing population, transportation facilities directed their efforts westward, forgetting, as it were, this field of opportunity. And one of the best arguments in favor of this nook in the woods is the fact that our lands are now being eagerly sought by the traveler, who is disappointed with the west, and who returns astonished to find that he almost passed what he was look- ing for. Once in a while we meet a ‘Jonnie Wise” who objects to the stamp, but even he dues not object to the tree that stands on the stump. Every tbing considered itis not at all re- markable that an influx of settlers are directing their attention to Northern Minnesota, where an abundant crop of timber awaits its harvest‘ und where the soil itself is second to none. IN FAVOR OF STITT Judge Spooner Issues an Order in One Case Against Rat Portage Co. Word has been received in this city that Judge Spooner has issued an order in the case of Stitt & Howe vs. the Rat Portage Logging company involving the title toa lot o: land in the Big Fork country, says the Brain« erd Dispatch. The order is a victory fur the plaintiffs and gives them clear title to some very valuable pro- perty, the dams on the land across the Big Fork river being especially valuaBle. This is but one of many cases Of this title. Good Service Wins Success. It would be vo easy jobto finda neater barber shop than the one pre- sided over by Gene Neveaux, opposite Hotel Pakegama. Since Mr. WNe- veaux took charge of that tonsornial parlor the business has constantly in- creased until now he keeps four chairs busy where two were formerly suffi- cient. He put in a new chair last week, which necessitated the enlarge- ment of his room several feet, but the change had to be made in order to accommadate those who insist on getting their work done at ‘‘Gene’s”. Four first class artists in the tonsonial line can serve a large number of cus- tomers in a short time and Gene is determinded to give s ction in in a hurry if it requires a dozen chairs and men to do it. A new feature, and one that is becoming popular, is the electric massage, which has re- cently been added-to the other mcedern features of this up-to-date shop. Try one—only 35 cents—and you will become addicted to the habit. Work Highly Complimented. The taxidermist work of Wm. Weitzel has a reputation for excel- ence that extends to other states. Maguiticent specimens of his work are to be found, in moose and deer beads and birds of all kinds, in states far distant from Minnesota. ‘This firm of taxidermists is now known as Weitzel & Storey and their business is rapidiy increasing. During the past year they have done work in mounting that cannot be exeelled by anyone in the business. Among the testimonials of appreciation of their work recently received was one from Editor ©, M. Atkinson of the Mesaba Ore of Hibbing. Weitzel & Story mounted two deer heads for him and in acknowledging receipt of them he took occasion to say that they were the most perfect mounts that he had ever’seen.
