TW) DOLLARS A YRAR IN ADVANCE Entered in the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, a8 Second-Clase Matter Je Dunn and Van Sant.sbould hap- pen to meet in an alley we rather suspect that Bob would slap Sam’s mouth. ° —_—__+2—_— THE Duluth News Tribune argues for the nomination of Towne as the Democratic presidential nominee. The tribane knows Mr. Towne and the Herald-Review is very pleased to note its admiration for the brilliant statesman. patra SP ELSES CONGRESSMAN JOEL P, HEATWALE of Northfield says that Dunn told the truth about the Collins corruption fund contributed by the Great North- ern railway in 1894, and that he knows the factsin the case. Joel must be an accessory after the fact. ——- Aout the only the thing left for the Republican politicans to do, since the Dunn and Collins exposures, is to switch to a third candidate. Van Sant is as dirty as any in the buoch and the talk ia his favor would in no way relieve the situation. Eddy may come out a winner in the end. ge Tue Duluth Herald foresees possible Democratic harmony at the St. Louis convention through the following sentiment recently expressed by Charles A. Towne: “It is evident that Charles A. Towne still has hopes for harmony at the Democratic con- vention and the selection of a candi- date who will unite all factions of the party. In a recent interview he is reported as saying: ‘1 am under in- structions and prohibited from tvalk- ing. The instructions for Judge Park- er are binding on all New York dele- gates, and we will take off our coats and work for him with the utmost zeal. My belief is we shall havea harmonious time at St Louis. For one, I am for peace, even if we have to fight for it.’ ” ——_>———_ WERE GETTING THE FACTS Forty thousand dollars contributed by the Great Northern Railway com- pany to elect L. W. Collins as a mem- ber of the supreme court of the state of Minnesota in the campaign of 1894, when Judge Willis was defeated by Collins, and who is now candidate for the high office of governor of the state. This is the bald, unqualified pronouncementof Robert C. Dunn, ex- state auditor and also a candidate for the governorship. In turn Durnis charged with having defrauded the state out of eighty thousand dollars by making settlement with timber trespassers for less sums than Is re- quired by law. ‘The gubernatorial tight is certainly getting interesting, and as a result of the bitterness of ithe fight the people are getting the facts. Dunn says that James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Rail- road company contributed about 40,- 000 to the Collins Campaign. A re- went report by the state bank examin- er says that Dunn while auditor beat the state out of eighty thousand dol+ lars. When politieal thieves fall out there may be some show of electing an honest man. The republican party of Minnesota is rotten to the care. What must be the condition of the public conscience that will tolerate such political dominance? Are the people entitled to any sympathy where they know the facts and yet will continue to vote the ticket of a party that is notoriously corrupt? —_>—_———_— GUNN AND COLE, The Grand Rapids Magnet advises us not to worry, that Dan Gunn can itake care of himself and that Cole has promised to jook after our intr- ests as much though he was a resi- dent of this county, We are not worrying over Dan Gunn in the least, but would jike to see him play fair with Itasca county. The writer would be pleased to see bim secure the soughted plum, but not at the ex- pense of depriving Itasca county of a representative. But where is he at? Why don’t he state his position in this controversy ? He owes as much to the Republican party of the coun ty as the party owes him, and if he is not ashamed of the tactics he is pur- suing why does he not coime out in the open and show his hand? = If he expects the united support of the county for railroad and warehouse commissioner he must expect to give his support to an Itasca county wan for the legislature. ‘There is no use in theMagnet trying toact as a screen for Gunn. Its gauze is too thin. The Magnet contends that Cole is entitled to be returned because heis a tirst- termer. Cass county has furnished the representative for the last two terms and her claim is void. If Cole bad accomplished anything or made an effort to, Itasca county might overlook his gluttonish ambition, but he proved a nondescript and no one knew he was there after he made that illustrious, brilliant and bombastic ‘display of oratory in nominatiog Bab- cock for speaker, ‘an’ then sat down.” The plea that it takes a man one term to fathom the intricacies of the monotonous and humdrum routine work of our state legislature is pretty shallow reading. Of course, his cun- stitnents are supposed to send him back if he don’t pass the examination the first term. In tliat case Cole wouldibe a lifetime fixture in the halls of the state capitol. Itsaca county has men that can pass before they go there; they know what they want, what is expected of them and have the ability to secure it. We weuld like to see the Magnet cast off all subterfuge and fall in line with the loyal papers that are demanding that this county’s rights be recognized. Therefore we repeat “let us organize on lines broad enough to include the needs of the whole county.”—Bourder Budget. — Cohasset Cullings Rhody Hawley was a Grand Rapids visitor the 7th. Chris. Sorenson 1s attending at the Pioneer hotel bar. Fred Le Quest,a Grand Rapids tailor, was here the gth. Moore & McHardy started the plainer and their mill last Monday. Joe. Fletcher, of the Rapids. with three or four others drove up Mon- day. Emil Brown was bere from Leech river, Cass county on business this week, Chas. Beaulieu, sub-indian agent at Bena, died last Sunday, aged 65 years, The weather for the past five or six days is indicative of,an extremely early winter, Dumas and Fred Carrier and Ed, Ganon of sparks were here the mid- dle of the week. W. H. Hatch, a former cedar in- spector and recently in the cedar bus- iness for himself, is in town, . . ° Jno. Rellis and Yim Yonson, of Grand Rapids, were here on the 8th and gth inst., on goodness bent. Andrew Edstrom of Rush City, Minn., is bar-keep at Bass Brook ho- tel Vice Chiis. Sorenson resigned. Mr, Jack Skelly just returned from a trip up river, and reports everything in a flourshing condition up that way, Dunn & Marcia’s mill steamed up last Monday to roll the machinery preparatory to a start in the near future. The Northwest Timber and Supply Co. has started a pile driver at work driving piles for a boom leading to their mill at the “ west end.” E. L. Cassidy, the blacksmith at Pokegama dam, with a Mr. Johnson were here and witnessed the fire com pany in practice ‘Tuesday evening. Dick Sox 1s here and claims he will enter the fieid for county attorney this fall. He probably meant run from the county attorney most any oid time. - Chas. Miller, county treasurer, was here the gth, surring up old and mak- ing new acquaintances and in other ways pulling up the slack in the wires ot his political fence. And now comes that crazy Cooper from Chicago, who wants Uncle Sam to place that regiment, that’s due from and around that forrest reserve near Cass Lake, recently contributed by said Uncle Sam for the further de- bauching of useless, moneyed idlers. The Northwest Timber and Supply Co. bought the steamer “Little Eagle” last Monday and are making regular trips with it up the river to bring down their umbers from various points. Carl Nelson has gone to Bovey, a new town north of ‘l'rout lake in this county, where we understand he is going into the saloon business with ‘Thos. Benton of Grand Rapids, Morris O’Brien 1s putting 1n a new saw mill at this pomt and willsoon start operations, this will add to the prosperous condition of our, busy little town. Good luck to you, Morris. The next time the fire brigade throws water on an imaginary fire, why notstick that injun - rubber ele- phanv’s-trunk looking son-of-a-gun of a thing into that frog pond west of the tracks aud pump it out? A pair of blind baggage professors had a warm tilt with the west bound passenger train crew here last Thurs- day. ‘The bone of contention was the possession of the “blind.” The profes- sors finaly concluded ’twas safer to hit the ground. The fire department with apparatus was out for practice Tuesday night. They appear to be capable of doing efficient work in case of fire. What they want 1s practice which will bring around concerted action on the part ot the organization. That foot- base - basket - hand ball game was in full blast one’ evening last week filling the air and smearing the ground with men’s hats, mbbons, skirts, legs, laughter, screeches, screams, yoo-goo-eyes, men, women, girls, boys, dust, tomato cans, dry goods boxes and beer keys. Marshal McCabe discovered the door of the fire apardtus house broken the other morning and upon investi- gation he found that a fellow was in there and had a fire in the stove and taking floppings for himself. Bob. introduced him to the R. R. track to- wards the reservation which he took kindly to. Kurk Brothers of this place, went to Cass Lake Wednesday a. m. to get the steamer “Mud Hen,” which they bought and will bring 1t down here to ply on these waters. They will come by water and consequently will have to sluice the craft through Winnibi- goshish dam, Cohasset was the scene of quite a disasterous fire last week, which did damage in Mr, O’Briens ceder yard to the extent of about 3,000 cedar poles. it is thought that the fire was started by sparks from a locomotive as the yard is near the Great Norih- ern’s right of way. Certainly the state of Minnesota rolls up a handsome majority for the powers that be, and thereby gets an- other glawm at the agricultural lands to the tune. of 20,000 acres on the res- ervation, to open for settlement June 16th, 1904. Here is 125 settlers knocked out at one stroke of the typewriter, A young and good looking man j of this piace went to the county seat the other day and interviewed a prom. inent tonsorial artist, stating that a most terrible interval in this vale of tears was about to pay him a visit— thatofa bald head. The tonsorialist forthwith prepared him a bath of fluid with a guarantee that the same would produce hair on a teacup in 24 hours. The good looking man placed the bottle in the pistol pocket of his breechaleons. He came back here to discover that the cork had come out of the bottle and about half of the fluid had ,saturated the buigy part ot the exterior part of said pants, and to his surprise, a thrifty, glossy growth of fine brown hair had started on that part\of the anatomy of his pants ahind mentioned, and 1s still growing.
