The report of the, Library Board of our public library, recently submit ted to the village council by Secrets ary Chas, If. Dickinson, contains‘ a good deal of information that will, be of interest to our readers, . The library building was completed and opened tu the public on Feb, 12, 1906. so that the year ending Der. 31; ‘06 is a short year and the first in the | history of the library. When the library was opencd,there imes to which yolumes—four volumes having been withdrgwo during the year. There are 880 burrowers cards in force, ten of then beicg held by people living in the country. |” During the year, 6036 volumes of fiction have been loaned for home vse and 844 yolumes of ‘non-fiction, the latter being 12 per cent of the entire number loaned and 44 per cent of those loaned. were children’s | books. The library was opened 323 hours j during the year—the hours for opea- ing being from three to six in the afternoon and seyen to nine in the evening. The library is also open Sunday afternoons.

NIIPIICATE EYDocIIo£ etree : - ‘A Moral Wave. It is but a few weeks ago that we eceived word that the noted revival- it, 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 at least a corner of it, must have fallen on his name sake, Jones, of Deer River. This state- Ment might seem to be a strétch of the imagination to those who kaow Jack best, but the events of the past week go to show to the contrary. Sometime early in the week’ Jack had a little detficulty with a frequenter of his place in Deer River-and tn a play- ful mood Jack pushed un tbe fellow’s face, but unfortunately he pushed a little too bard and broke the fellow’s nose. 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 that they were violating the lawin various ways, and the county attorney, as he is in duty bound, when notified ef such matters, called the law j breakers attention to their transgres- jsions, with a request to do business laccording to Hoyle in the future. |The result was most astonishing. A { | r solid delegation of saloon men came down to interview Attorney Thwing, but what the outcome will be is hard to guess at.the present time. Deer }River with the lid on! Wouldn’t that make you smile? And all through the efforts of one of the trouble dispensers: Wonders will fuever cease. Death of Joseph A. Sayers. In the death of Joseph A. Sayers, | Which oceurred at his home in this i lage, Vhursday, the 24th inst, Grand Rapids looses a good citizen and his neighbors, a kind and thoughtful fellow citizen. He had been a resident of the village for many years and by his horesty and true worth was highly esteemed by all who knew him. He had been in failing health for several years, but of late was able to be-out-on the street-but rarely... He was seventy-five years uf age at the time of his death. During his last iliaess he was attended by his sister, Mrs. Wim. Donahue, who did all vhat a loving sister could do to relieve his sufferings. Besides Mrs. Donahue he left ove brother, John H, Sayers of Eaton Rapids, Mich., one sister, Mrs. Chas, Warden, Mason, Mich., and une daughter, Mrs. Mary Stafford of He hasn’t been faithful. as to why he was late, and as to where he was last night. He aad gone upon the theory that it was nobody’s busi- ness how he occupied his time out- side business hours, Yet the growth of a bad character, if you are at all cluse to it, isabout as obvious as the growth of acorn field The prudent business man does not always wait until he has a case in court. He pre- fers to settle the little things with hisemployes before they have gone that far. Business is becoming more and more exacting 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. Anti-Tuberculosis 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 made a 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, lo¢ated at Walker in Cass county bas 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 He has lied |. The Old Settlers’ Party. During the past week the invita- tions for the Old Settlers’ dance have been sent out and the various com- mittees have oo all arrangements looking towatd one of the jolliest eveats in history of the town. The following is a list of the vari- ous, committees—inyitation, H. D. Powers, M. S rrangements, Geo. F. Mey affam, A. A. Kremer; reception, Geo. F. Kremer, I. D. Rassmussen, C. BE. Aiken; ficor manage: Aug. Jobnsson, F. P. Shel- don, A. B,-Clair. A full orchestra has been engaged and old fashioned music ordered so that the dancers can rest assured that they can have all of the dances they want without “sitting out” while the younger peuple do the frac- tional steps. The committee on invitations say thatitis a very difficult matter to send the iuvitatious out without omitting some one that is entitied to be present and wished us to state tout all who were residects of Itasea county the 3lst day of December 1895 (not 1905 as we stated last week) and have retained their residence since that time are invited and expected to be present.

Telephone Service Poor. To the Herald-Review: Complaints can be heard all over the village in regard to the poor tele- phone service, itis not a matter of conjecture, but a matter of fact that along with them. Indeed, on a frosty morning it is pleasant too see how their eyes sparkle and how their cheeks glow. hey 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 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. An in- strument can be out of arder for days and weeks and the management repeatedly notified of the fact and of theirstrength. They don’t smoke, they don’t chew, they don’t drink, they don’t gamble, they don’t loaf. Society pups up -arbitrary > rules for thegirls, and they mustabide by them | or lose caste. The boys are suffered to make: their own rales 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- mined him, and to look quite past himself in an attempt to locate the guilty party. Business is all the time putting 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.

The members of the present council no doubt are as well aware as 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 inadeyuate and incompetent concern or compell the company to adopt some plan or method that will give the people a money and the privilege granted by the village to the company for public patrouage.
