This virtually wound up the club’s winter series of amuse- nents, although the lady members contemplate giving a colonial party at some future date. The Dixie Jubilee singers, a musical organization composed entirely of colored people, and which is famous throughout the country, rendered a program which was pleasing in the extreme at Village hall last might. They appeared here under the aus- pices of the local lyceum bureau, Born, to Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Kremer, Thursday,a daughter.

Fay, of Baskin, Wis., who was here last week on a business trip, received word from home that his daughter Was seriously ill and lett for Baskin the same day.

While the people of this village as a unit deplore the departure of this estimable family, yet they can- not but congratulate Deer River upon the acquisitun to its business and social circles.

OLD SETTLERS HAVE A DANCE Several weeks ago the Herald-Re- view informed its readers that the boys and girls of the early days of Itasca county were going to have a good, old-fashioned party to which only old settlers of the county would be invited. Since that time, and until last Mon- day evening, all who were eligible have been thinking and talking of the “Old settlers dance.” Last Monday might saw the fruition of their hopes and expectations—and what proved be the best party ever given in Grand Rapids is a thing cf the past. Butit will remain asa bright spot in the memory of those who took part in the festivities. At half past nine o’clock ‘Tony” Johnson’s orchestra started up and the grand march was on, with August Johnson and Mrs. M, McAlpine lead- ing. From that time until three o’clock in the morning, when the last strains of “Old. Dan ‘Tucker’ died away, there was not a moment that was not replete with pleasure, whether one were on the floor or engaged in a good, old fashioned visit with the knots of old settlers that were to be found in all parts of the building. Over one hundred couples were present, which number included many from out of town who gladly accepted an invitation to not only renew their youth for a time by enjoying a few quadrilles, and having a good social visit. The gathering was such a pro- nounced success und received such universal praise that the matter of making a permanent organization of the old settlers 1s so generally called for, that those having the matter in charge will no doubt soon take action looking toward a permanent organi- THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT The financial statement of Itasca county for the fiscal year ending De- cember 30, 1905, appears as a part of this week’s issue of the Ierall-Re- view for its first publication, It isa voluminous document, and gives the taxpayers an idea of how their money has been expended.

The Woman’s club meeting on last Tuesday evening was interesting from a two-fold point. ‘The comple- tion of the lecture on China, uuder uhe leadership of Mrs. Bolter, was much enjoyed. Many topics of inter- est outside of the text were heard and discussed Another point ‘of interest in the meeting was tbe discussion of the proposition to buy furniture for a club room in the new library building, which ended with the decision to do so. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Gunn at Hotel Pokegama. The sub- ject will be India. Roll call to be re- sponded to by quotations from “Light of Asia,” py Sir Edwin Arnold. E> ¥ Ee Dr. C. J.

Weighty Reason Yor De: of Dressing Reo: “Speaking of the ways of stage folk with dressing rooms, reminds me of something that happened to me just a fortnight befere our season closed,” said a theatrical man who™s home for the summer. “In the company I ig Chance manage there’s a middle-aged women | who has a small part. Her husband is in the company, too, and when you have a married couple in the same company it’s a sure sign of trouble. | Well, the lady didn’t like dressing in the dressing rooms her position in the company called for, but there wasn’t much she coulé do till we struck al- most the last stand on our route. Then her husband asked me if I wouldn’t come up to their room in the hotel, because she wanted to speak to me. I went. She told me she was ill and un- able to climb stands, and as a special favor couldn’t I arrange it so she’d have a downstairs dressing room? Of course I could, and:I said so. Nobody who was ill should ever lack for con- sideration in my company. Then I went to my own room. It happened to be the one adjoining theirs, but they didn’t know it, and I didn’t either, till I lay down to take-a nap, and found I could hear every word they said. And what do you think I heard? “There, said that woman, ‘I’ve fixed that. Of course I’m not ill, Charles. I never was better in my life, but I must maintain my dignity.’” Contract Work. : 100 cords of wood ‘to haui, In quire of J. S, Gole.

Frank W. Pettygrove of Seattle has the penny that named the city of Portland, Ore. On the toss of this coin depended the question whether the Willamette metropolis should be known as Portland or Boston. Twice the coin turned “tails,” and the town was named after Portland, Me., the former home of Mr. Pettygrove’s father. A. L. Lovejoy of Massachusetts, a member of the party that laid, ,out Portland, desired to name it Boston, after the most important city in his state. Pettygrove wanted to name it Portland, after the most important | city in Maine, his native state. They agreed to toss a penny, heads to be Boston, tails to mean Portland, the best two in three to be the choice. Pettygrove won the first toss; Love- joy won the second, and the third proved to be tails, and Portland it was. The younger Pettygrove still has the identica: penny and would not take any amount of money for it. His father kept it for a pocket piece, and it has been banded down to the son, who bears his father’s name. It is dated 1835, and is one oi those large zois in vogue at that time, about the size of the quarter of the present day. ooo Notice of Mortgage Foreciosure Sale. + Notice is hereby given, that default been made in the nditions of ort s: ted und delivered by Mabel LU.
