A Carnagie Library Through the persistent ef- forts of some of the active members — of the library board Grand. Rapids is in a fair way to realize the cherished hope in the erection of a ten thousand dollar library build- ing. Secretary Dickenson has been in correspodence with Mr. Andrew Carnagie, the great iron master and builder of public libraries, and he is now saguine of success in his efforts to interest the great man in the building of a library in Grand. Rapids. According. to Mr. Carnagie’s plan of assist- ing municipalities in the es-! tablishment of public libraries a public spirit must be shown by the people of the communi- ty wherin his n:unificence is desired. It will be necessary for the council to levy an an- nual tax for the maintainence of the institution and in addi- tion a cite be furnished and a sum of money contributed through public subscriptions or otherwise. When the tax levy is made and a fund of, say $2,000 is provided Mr. Carnagie would contribute _ perhaps $8,000 additional, This would provide $10,000 for a library metberg Sheriff, Nelson admitted to MayorRiddell and Policeman Seamans of Grand Rapids that the arrest of the murderer was due to the imformation furnshed. by Chicf Harry.

A REMARKABLE ADVERTISEMENT OEE © ATE 6 Li @ CE 8 EE ORS The attention of the Herald-Review has been called to a six page folder issued by J. Emerson Greenfield of Manson Iowa, in which lands in the Hill Lake country are advertised for sale. The aavantages of farming in Northern Minnesota are set forth 1a avery attractive manner, which is a very proper thing for Mr, Greenfield to do, but he spoils it all ina para- graph on the last page, headed ‘Cau- tion.” He cautions: those who read the tolder to beware of Giand Rapids | dealers in real estate, intimating that) the soilin this vicinity is sandy and not suitable for agricultural purposes. As a general advertiser Mr. Greenfield uses very poor judgment. He will find that his efforts tu induce settlers into a section of county where there is but a dimited? acreage of ullable soit will not result satisfactorily. Green- field. owns considerable land in the} his cause by misrepresentation of lands immediately adjomng that which he | has on the market. Seekers for homes | are not apt to place much confidence na man who resorts to dishoenorabl | advertising to advance his own personal | mnterests. Mr. Greenfield would in- spire greater confidence in his repre- | sentations by advernsing through his | circulars that good lands are found all over this section, A. Valuable Workman. Mr. Anthony, who is now employ- ed at Wm. Weitzel’s taxidermist shop. is a very competent workman on all| kinds of animals and birds. He worked two years with Oliver Davie, author of “Fhe Nests and Eggs of North American Birds.” “He worked three years im the Columbus Muset.m of Specimens under the instructions of Prof. J. S. Willey. We mount deer heads tor $5 and moose heads trom $10 to $15. Bring on your work while opposiuon lasts, Wa. WEr?rzEL, A Card of Thanks I desire to express to the many kind and sympathetic friends in Grand Rapids and elsewhere, who made every} possible effort in behalf of my husband's. liberty during his late trial, my most sincere and heartfelt thanks. Their noble and generous endeavors to se- cure justice for him is the one bright spot left in my darkened life. Through the sad days that I must still live for our more than orphaned children the sublime spirits that prompted such assistance as was given will stand. out in grand relief} to inspire that courage of which I feél so much in need. I know 'that my husband shares the feelings of. deep appreciation | that I would\express, but words are cold: and pulseless when | used to convey the promptings | of a heart.so filled. with grief; and yet so thankful as is mine! today. a) | Calin PEA 6 AT 9 LA D LEE © RARE Furniture, Carpets, Rugs, Linoleum, Lace and Roller Curtains, WE WISH YOU A jers ~~ MERRY « CHRISTMAS geicbaainths eet AND A HAPPY oes, Furs, Cloaks, and Tailored Suits, Skirts Port h NEW "and Gents’ Furnishings, Clothing, S YEAR Dry Goods, Ladies paeH ‘Quem ‘salav015 Aguey pue aides Asauoneyg ‘kiayx019 . pue evuiyg Aouey SS St oummmmnnonze tomentosa Henry Hughes & Co.
