Vou. XIL—No. 44 Brides Invited A popular lady remarked the other day. that it was far better to have a well furnished kitchen than a handsome parlor, As a matter of fact she hasboth. Doesn't cost much these days to have all the luxuries for your kitchen at little cost. You know how particular an electrical engineer is about his fixing, etc.—keeps everything as slick as a pin and brass and silves trimmings shining on every side—linoleum or something of that kind on the floor, everything to make his place the most ideal in town. \Vhy shouldn’t your kitchen be the brightest, slickest prettiest and most handy kitchen in Grand Rapids? All of those. little helps that go to make cooking easy, should be in your kitchen. fou The society ladies in the large cities are so proud of their kitchens that they are having little teas in them. ‘The guests are supposed to make themselves at home in the kitchen (not the parlor) while the hostess prepares the lunch. Then the chafing- dishes, cut glass, fancy egg-beaters, fancy spoons, etc. get their introduction. We'd like to introduce you to some of the extraordinary values in kitchen requisities. This is but a sample of the many things we have. the others will interest you as well. LS rel a INDESPENSIBLES Among these we-can mention buta few. You have to have them, every house wife has to have them, and because they are SO commonly used is the reason we can buy them in such quantities as to sell for seemingly less than the cost of making. Paring knives for 10c, scrapers for 10c, cake tins for 5c and up, pie tins dc, basins for de, 10e, 15c, etc., beaters 10c. mixing spoons 5c, ete., etc. USEFUL AND HEALTHFUL To keep out dust, Hies and datapness there is nothing like a good flour bin. Every kitchen bas flour but not every one a good place to keepit. For $2.25 you can get an elegant and a handy flour bin here, have you seen them? Then we have Bread Boxes that are convenient indeed. AI! sizes and styles, and prices from 75 cents up. Flour sifters of all kinds tos Prices from 20 cents up. it your taste and needs. WINDOW SCREENING Now comes the season for flies and mosquitoes. We handle the “fine screen ne to keep out the latter. Don’t make the mistake of vetting too coarse a screen. Lt is only an aggrivation, and the mosaui- Toes will come thro it faster than they will thro none at all; just to show you how easy itis, probably. We too, for only adollar. ave the doors ready made if you want, and well made. Or make your own door and window. frames. i buy the wire and cover them.» We have a special brand of chee: sloth that we are selling immense quantities of € for Ubis purpase. If you waut sumething good and yet cheap, try it. GROCERIES Why, yes, these are a part of every successful kitchen, The one . 4 point in them that you are most,particular about is the quality, and weil you should be, We all like good things to eat, avd unless the house- wife has. things of first class quality and pert fs 4 pect. her Lo produce an appetizing meal.” r : { yeod ones, by any Means, we would be foolish to think or claim that; this much we do claim, thereare NONE BETTER. And we sell then | as cheaply as quality will permit. ~Our canned gvods are strictly fresh ¢ and all guaranteed. As also are all other lines. Itasca Mercantile Co. Agree On Closing.

Minneso‘a Men Drown in Canadian Lake. County Attorney Smith, of Jackson county, and Clark Bissell, of Lakefield who were in St. Paul late yesterday told a graphic story of the death of Postmaster John Crawford and Joho C. Knox, the latterason of T. J: nox of the ‘statute revission commissivn aud formerly a member of the state railroad and warehouse commission, in Lake Shoal, west of Winnipeg, a few days ago. Mr. Bissell states that the two men were practically frozen to death. Their boat capsized and they clung to it uatil the severecold of the water paralyzed them and forced them to let go. Crawford clung to the boat from 8:30 until 11:30 in the morning, Kuox maintained his hold until after 2 o'clock in vhe afternoon. Both were excellent swimmers, but the boat was three milei from shore and when it capsized the waves were running fif- teen feet high. Mr. Knox, the father of the young man who lost his life, is now at the dake, seventy mules from Winnipeg, directing the efforts to recover the bodies. The lake is extremely deep and the work of recovery is very difti- jeult. Our telephone number is 159. Fuilerton Gets Fish for Exhibit. The private car belongiag to the State game and fish commission of the state of Pennsylvannia was in Cass Lake over Sunday, having come for the purpose of taking to the St. Louis exposition specimens of fish which inhabit Cass Lake and its trib utaries. Sam F. Fullerton, execu- tive agent of the Minnesota commis- sion, was in charge of the car and ac- companying him were Win. Sprane of Erie, P., and W. A. Hutchinson of Corry, Pa., employes of the commis- sion of that state. The Cass Lake game warden used a net in the lakes here and secured many specimen of pike, pickerel, white fish, mu}l and some of the other varieties. No ‘‘muskies” were secur- ed, Many varieties of bass could have been secured here, but Mr. Ful- } lerton had made arrangements to get these at Alexandria.—Wadena Trib- une Agent O’Brien as Auctioneer. N. J. O'Brien, special agent of gen- eral land office, recently stationed at Denver, has been appointed auction- eer fur the lands in the Red Lake In- dian. reservation, the sale of which begins on June 20 at Thief River Falls, Minn. | WILL CELEBRATE 4 AT COHASSET. Our Neighboring Town of Cohasset willy Give a Big Celebration on the Fourth. The first celebration ever given in Cohasset will be the attraction fora large number of people from Grand Rapids on the Fourth of July. The suggestion was made by citizens here who have had opportunity to know the hospitality of our nearby neigh- bors and as a result the nation’s natal day will be fittingly observed ab that town with an elaborate pro* gram of amusements and other ap- propriate exercises. Steamboat ex- cursions up the river, speaking, bowry dancing, fireworks, athletic exercises ofall kinds, ete., will constitute the best of entertainments. All Grand Rapids should respond and the Herald-Review has no doubt they will, Let us make this a Cohasset day by unanimous consent. Grand Jury Report The grand jury reported on Tues- day of this week and set forth their findings in a brief and explicit man- ner. The first comment made was on the county jail and its condition. The report says: ‘The jail is found to be weil kept, the prisoners are well cared for, and the sheriff is to be com- mended fur the satisfactory manner in which his workjis being done.” tecommendation for improvements on the county hospital is made. Con- tinuing the report says: ‘The accounts of two of the organ- ized townships of the county have been examined into by the Grand Jury andin both instances it would seem that there has been an improper disbursement of public money. Public money, if spent at all, must be spent according to law. ‘ it was found in the case of one of the townsin question that claims against the town had been paid with- out a properly itemized ascount. It -is| absolutely essential to proper handling of town money that no accounts should be paid noless an itemized claim is presented. More- over this is required by law. To disregard this feather of the law, even without any dishonest intent, leads.to- abuses, wnd-makes it impossi- ble for tax payers to know for what the public income is expended. So far as the investigation of the Grand Jury was carried it would appear in both the Towns of Lake Jesse, and that of Tront Lake there have been certain sums of money dis- bursed which should be repaid. The Grand Jury did not discover evidenc- es of dishenosty, bat did meet with indications of carelessness in hand- ling the town funds in question. *Comer:?? Defeat Reguiars. A new ball team under the name of the ‘Comers’ was organized last week and played their first game with the city team, and proved beyond a doubt that they were all that their name implied. Theregular team met with defeat at their hands with a score of 13 to 12. The regulars did not have a full team of their regular men bat had good subs for all that were missing. The tirst two innings looked very bad for the youngsters, as the regu- lars piled up seven scores while the Comers had two shut-outs to their cre- dit. This probably made the citv team over confident as they failed to make any more large scores, while the youngsters worked hard and made the score ten tu ten in the ninth in- ning. One more inning was played in which the regulars made two scores and the Comers three, with only one man out. The Comers played good ball and made several brilliant plays that would be a credit to any team. Go ahead, boys, perhaps you can change your name, Demvcratic Delegates.
