The many times adjourned case of the state of Minnesota against Wil- liam Talboys, of Chisholm, Minon., charged with criminally libeling Wil- liam A. Thomas, of this city, came to atrial before Municipal Judge Brady Saturday afternoon last. It*was a court trial and the court found the respondent guilty as charged and im- posed the minimum fine of $10 and vosts. W. R. Woods, of Chisholm, who appeared for the defendent, gave notice that an appeal would be taken to the district court. County At- torney McClintack was to busy to enter the case and neglected to ap- point a substitute. At the request of Mr. Thomas Attorney Hughes took up the prosecution of the case, but the preceeding was objected to by Mr. Woods and Mr. Thomas went on with the case without an attorney. but the violation of the criminal code was so plain that the services of ap attorney were not necessary to con- vict the defendant. The case was the outcome of the following, which appeared in tbe first number of the Iron Index. published at Nashwauk: “The Iron Index is disenclined to believe the rumor that the antede- luvian editor of the Chisholm Herald recently refused five dollars from a prominent gubernatorial booming syndicate on the ground that the money was counterfeit. All long greens Jo alike to Ma Talboys.” lt is recalled that W. A. Kiley is the editor and owner of the Nash- wauk Index, but the following week the astute editor of the Chisholm Herald, who probably thought he was dipping into the occult, vomited up missioner, will speak on “Dairy Pro-|a vile mess directed at Will Thomas, and there was some speculation as to At the afternoon session GC, M.

Mr. Thomas is fully able to take care of himself against all comersin the news- paper line. and would have enjoyed mixing up a few to curl the old man’s leather-colored hide, but insomuch as he had no other means of putting acrimpin the funny old man from Chisholm, he caused his arrest, The attempt to slander Mr. Thomas was libelous to a marked degree, and none but an imbicile would have used such means. Mr. Ta'boys will do well to pay the fine and then have a heart-to-heart talk with himself for,future guidance and charge the whvle up to experi- ence that should have been long ago. The case once in disdrict court, the penality and costs will foot a con- siderable sum, and it is a mortal cinch that conviction will fullow.— Mesaba Ore. Now the “dear old lady’’ had better side-step over to the work basket and take her knitting and make a couple pairs of slippers for the «“*Washiugton,” it will be just as profitable and cause less trouble. Two Bad. The Princeton Union thrust this on a meek and much enduring public: “An Iowa boy_ate a quart of pea- nuts and died. It is said that at the funeral the choir sang: Shell we gather at the river.” That is an atrocity that the people should rise up -in arms to resent. Then as though tbat were uot enough, the Grand Rapids Magnet, a paper for which we had some little respect radds the folliug: “Now that’s tou bad, Kernel; if you do it again you will drive us nutty.” The Maget is a paper published in a civilized dommunity and we al- ways thought that the editor hud a spark of christianity about him, but he has not, he is a heathen, anda missionary should be sent to him at once. .

The following is taken from a lit~ tle book issued by the Great Northern, which is a fair examp'e of the write- up given nearly every town on its line from Duluth to the coast. For those wishing business openings ora place to build a home, it is invaluable. “The county seat of Itasca county, | situated on the Mississippi river and Great Northern railway, 112 miles from Duluth. The principal industry of the town and county has been log- ging and and lumbering, butin the future agriculture and mining will become the mainstay. Large @racts of rich soil adapted to the raising of all kinds of crops are awaiting oc- cupation and cultivation, and in fact are being taken by bona fide agricul- turists rapidly. The mining industry isin its infancy, but already five drills are at work within two miles of town and a dozen more will soon be in operation within five miles. The town is also the location of the Itasca Paper Co., whose mills produce daily about thirty tons of paper, using in its manufacture the spruce wood to be found in all parts of county, The getting vut of th’s wood for the mill, makes an industry of itself, and af- fordsa market fur the timber that may be taken from the land by set- tler.s Grand Rapids has four church societies,fowning-their own churches. The High school building cost forty thousand dollars, and Central school building cost thirty thousand. It has electric lighting and a system ‘of water works, three newspapers, two banks, hospital, well equipped fire, de- partinent, tine telephone system and usual number of special and general stores. The hotel accommodations are far ahead of the average generally found in cauntry towns, and on ac- count of the beautiful sixty thousand dollar court house, and other public buildings, and the numerous lakes found in this vicinity, ‘the place is rapidly coming to the front as a tish- ing and summer resort.” A copy of this book may be had by anyone who will apply to the Great Northern agent. ‘ EDITORS WILL DEDICATE Next Week the State Editorial Associ- ation Will Perform Ceremony.
