—__L Sret Rin Bore Published Every Saturday. By E. C. KILEY! Batered in the Postofiee at Grand Rapid Manesota, as Second-Clase Matter, Why Compromise on Rate? Ir is understood that the railroads of Minnesota have agreed on a 2i-cent mauimum fare per mile, and that when the senate and house come to- gether on the rate bills presented and passed a couple of weeks ago the com- promise rate will be proffered. The rate on which the roads have com- promised provides also, according to the rumor, for the issuing of 500-mile books to be sold at the rate of 2 cents awile: which will be accepted as fare for any member of the pur- ehaser’s family, good only over the road by which it is issued; also 1,000- mile books, at the same rate, which shall be good on all roads, but can be used by the purchaser only. fa commenting on the propused compromise The Minneapolis Journal advises its acceptance, in case the companies make such an offer, and gives as its reasons, the avoidance of litigation, poor service and other like inconveniences which can be imposed hy railroads, and are now betng en- dured by the people of Nebraska as a result of 2-cent fare legislation. The Journal further argues that the flat 2-cent rate would antagonize the rail- roads to the extent that they would offer no cut rates on the occasion of fairs, in fact the Journal proposes the sub- servience of the people of the entire state to the railroads in order that the twin cities might draw large at- tendance at their gatherings. Let ‘er go at the 2-cent rate, we can’t suffer miuch worse service. eet Going to End It ‘ Se Senator Albert J.

THe disastrons fire with which visited Bemidji about a month ago has but served to show the kind of stuffits business men are made of. Already acontract has been let by, ‘Thome & Mayer, one of the firms who suffered a loss, for the construction ofa solid brick building 60x100 feet, which when erected will cost up- wards from $25,000. The fire, which at the time looked like a terrible calamity, will undoubtedly result in more solid and modera construction in the future, and time may prove the fire a blessing to the city, conventions, tournaments, ec. |- cessful, and he should receive | says National abolition of} \ Just keep pushing the} Mrs Saxe says that the workgirl ‘has come to stay.

This“ sort of thing if maintained will induce the railroads to pay a little more attention to safety and not quite so much to dividends. ren SR The fact that the ship subsidy bill was talked to death shows that the jawbone as a weapon has nut become entirely obsolete. Cass Lake Defeated The game of basketball between the ladies’ teams of the high schools] vtass Lake and Grand Rapids, which was played at the high school gymnasium last Saturday evening, resulted ina victory for the bome team.

Ome of our exchanges tells. of an old German who-had a boy of whom he was very proud, and decided to find vut the trend of his mind. He adopted a novel metho1 by which to test him. Heslipped into the boy’s room one morning and placed on his table a bottle of whiskey, a Bible aud a silver dollar: “Now,” said he, “when dot boy comes in if he takes dot dollar he’s going to be a beeznis man; if he takes dot Bible he’s going to be a preacher; if he takes dot whiskey he’s no good, and going to be a drunkard.” ‘Ther he hid behind a door to see which \his son would choose. In came the boy whistling. Heran up to the table picked up the Bible and put it under his arm, then snatched up the bottle, took two or three drinks, picked up the dollar and putit in his pocket and wept out smacking his lips. The Dutchman poked his head out from behind the door and exclaimed: “Mein Got, he is going to be a bolitician.” Dislocates His Shoulder.
