It is but a few weeks ago that we received word that the noted revival- jist, Sam Jones, had gone to his re- ward and it was natural to suppose that his great work, so far as he was concerned, was at an end, but his mantel, or ab jJeast a corner of it, must have fallen on his name sake, Jones, of Deer River. This state- Ment might seem to be a stretch of the imagination to those who know Jack best, but the eveuats of the past week go to show to the contrary. Sometime early in the week Jack had a little detficulty with a frequenter of j bis place in Deer River-and tn a play- rut mood Jack pushed un the fellow’s face, but unfortunately he pushed a little too hard and broke the fellow’s hose. Prosecution followed and as Jones was getting a little the worst of it he thought he would get even with his fellow saloon keepers by complaining to fhe county attorney various ways, and the county attorney, as he is in duty bduud, when notified such matters, called the law j breakers attention to their transgres- jsions, with a request to do business the future. solid delegation of saloon men came down to interview Attorney Thwing, but what the outcome will be is hard Deer Wouldn’t all the will fo guess ab.the present time. lid on! smile?

He bad been in failing health for be-out on the street. but rarely....He was seventy-tive years uf age at the | congress. He hasn't been faithful. as to why he was late, and as to where he was last night. He nad gone upon the theory that it was nobody's busi- ness how he cecupied his time out- side business hours, Yet the growth of a bad character, if you are at all close to it, isabout as obvious as the growth of acorn field The prudent business man does not always wait until be has a case in court. He pre- fers to settle the little things with his employes before they have gone that far. Business is becoming more and more e ing on the point of individual character. It is looking out for integrity, and it is saying that whatever the head of the house is the salary list must be clean, This ;demand opens a wide door to girls, | and there 1s only one way in which it can be closed against them, and that is to meet the competition, and by the removal of it through consolida- tion. hath Tolllvcaleeis Congress. On next Tuesday and Wednesday February 5th aud 6th there will be an anti-tuberculosis congess held in the assembly room, city and county building, Minneapolis, at which time papers are to be read by distinguish- ed physicians who have madea study of the dread disease. From the 2nd to the 13th of February there will be a Natioual Tuberculosis Exhibit, which will be in conjunction with the congress. For some time the matter of hay- ing:a hospital and Sanitarium for the treatment of this desease, located at Walker in Cass county has been talk ed of and that matter will be taken up at the coming meeting. We know of uo more desirable location in the northern part of the state than Wal- ker for an “institution of this kind and hope the friends of the move- ment will meet with success.

Library Report. The report of the Library Board of our public library, recently submit- ted to the village council by Secrets} ary Chas. H.

When the library was opened ,there were on hand 148 volumes to which have veen ‘added during the year, by | purchase 1076 and by gilt 88, making} a grand tetal on hand Dee. 31 of 1813 volumes—four volumes having been | withdrgwo during the year.

The library was opened 323 hours | during the year—the hours for opea- ing being from three to six afternoon and seyen to nine in the evening. The library is also open Sunday afternoons. There are twenty newspapers and periodicals on file, ‘The directors are Mrs. Hattie Booth, president: Mrs. Elizabeth Mec- Carthy, vice present; C. H.

After paying all bills for the year there was a balance of $439.19 in the library funds at the end of the year. This, for the first statement for a public institution of this kind, in a town of this size, is most satisfactory and shows that our people appreciate fully the fact that we have as good a library and as well Managed as any town of equal size in the state. ,. © Good Men Wanted—to, shave at rand the first in the | ¥ in the | +| or lose caste. daughter, Mrs. Mary Stafford of Detrvit, Mich. ‘The funeral occurred at St. Joseph’s church last Saturday afternoon and was attended by a large number of; his friends. The Girl in Business. The truth is that the girls are get ting the better of the boys in many lines of genteel” employayent. The boys way complain of this. as» they will, but the fact stands. The young women in this, and many towns after a cértain hour, are quite as much in evidence on their way to work as the} young men; and thé pan at the win- «dow can see that they look trim, and neat, that they hold (their beads as if they were ready to meet the world and their employers. They have none of the appearance of having deprived themselves of the necessary amount of sleep, or of carrying a headache along with them. Indeed, on a frosty morning it is pleasant too see how their eyes sparkle and how their cheeks glow. Vhey are getting the better of the boys because they can be trusted to come to their work in good form: They may nob be as strong as the boys, but they take care of theirstrength. They don’t smoke, they don’t chew, they don’t drink, they don’t gamble, they don’t loaf. Society pufs up arbitrary rules for the girls, and they must abide by them The boys are suffered to make their own rules and take the consequences. Many a boy thinks’ he can be gay and deceive everybody, and he runs along until’ he loses his job. By that time he is apt to think that somebody has under- |to the county at-this time. sentiment of all progressive citizens.

To the Herald-Review: | Complaints can be heard all over the village in regard to the poor tele- phone service, it is not a matter of conjecture, but a matter of fact that this service is extremely incompet- ent, ineffecient, cold and miserable. There is only one thing they neyer | neglect or overlook and that is mak- ing very close collections. Aa in- strument can be out of erder for days and weeks and the management repeatedly notified of the fact and no attention is ever paid to the com- plaint, order it taken out of your place and not a move is made to take it out, but the bill for its use comes around just the same as if a good satisfactory service was being rendered. ‘he yillage is entitled to | ‘a first class telephone service, the council no doubt made that a provi- sion in granting the company a fran- chise. The members of the present council no doubt are as well aware as mined him, and to look quite past himself in an attempt to locate the guilty party. Business is all the time puttiog up bars against the gay young man. Positions of responsibility, posi- tions of trust, positions requiring re- liability ana regularity are being closed against him. He may not see that he is: bounced because he isn’t honest, for he may be able tu swear with a clear cotiscience that he never took so.much as a nickle in his life that did not belong to him, But he has taken time that did not belong the writer that we have had a bum service and it will behoove them to get busy and either revoke the fran- chise to this wholly inadequate and incompetent concern or compell the company to adopt some plan or method that will give the people a more’ satisfactory return for their money and the privilege granted by the village to the company for public patrouage.
