This was the case in which FOURTH OF JULY : AT GRAND RAPIDS A Program of Unusual Merit Has Been Made Up by the Committees For Big Celebration. CONTINUOUS ENTERTAINMENT ALL DAY Many Expensive Attractions Have Been Arranged For and a Gala Time is Guaranteed. Our Neighbors are Especially Invited. It is customary,for towns—big and little—to claim that their respective Fourth of July celebrations are to be the grandest ever planned and ona Scale that will eclipse all similar events ever attempted. Usually they are all about the same: a parade, speeches, local sports, dancing, fire- crackers, etc. They are all commendable and are enjoyed by both old and young. This year, however, Grand Rapids may justly lay claim to hav- ing made arrangements for a celebration that will actually far surpass in its attactive features anything of the kind heretofore gotten up in northern Minnesota in commemoration of the Nation’s natal day. The local order of Eagles has the matter in hand and what the Eagles under- take they make a success of. This enterprise is not calculated as a money-making proposition. The Eagles read a suggestion-in the Her- ald-Review some weeks ago in which it was urged that Grand Rapids should celebrate this year and prepare to entertain allthe people of the county. At their next regular meeting the subject was taken up by the order in a public spirited way and it was decided to get up an entertain- ment on a scale that would be appreciated. The splendid program now arranged for is ample evidence that they have succeeded. that their celebration will surpass others may be justly made. Ample funds have been raised, and the committees are working enthusiastically to perfect every detail. A calithumpian parade, when properly planned and featured, furnishes unlimited enjoyment for young and old alike. Suitable cash prizes will be offered for at least four of the best ‘“‘get-ups’’ in the parade. In addi- tion to the local participants in this magnificent pageant, will appear the marvelous Delain Bros., in their great comedy and acrobatic acts, “When Reuben Comes to Town.’’ This alone is better than a good show. The day’s entertainment will begin at 10:30 with txe parade. The merchants of Grand Rapids are expected to get up floats representing their several Jines of business, Hon. C. B. Miller of Duluth, who is rated as one of the most brilliant young orators of the northwest, will deliverthe oration. He is in greater 21) demand as a public speaker than any other man today in this section of the state. Mr. Miller is the legislative representative from a St. Louis county district, who made the great fight against the proposed tonnage tax law in the last legislature. He fought the measure to its defeat and was classed as one of the strongest legislators in the state. The DeLain Bros. have also been secured to furnish street entertain- ment in their great comedy revolving ladder performance, and what is known professionally as their hand balancing act. There will be con- :|tinuous performances on the streets during the day. Pavilion dancing will be provided for during the day and a grand ball will be given at Village hall in the evening. The Grand Rapids band will furnish street music and the full orches- 5 | tra will supply music tor the dancing. Sports of all kinds will be on the program for which cash prizes will be offered. Children’s races of all kinds, foot races, wheel-barrow races, potato races, climbing the greased pole, catching the greased pig, log rolling, etc., etc., will be provided for. Base ball has been omitted be- 3 because of the time required to play the game, and the fact that the whole day was scheduled when it was found that no hour could be spared to the national game. In the evening a magnificent display of fireworks will be one of the attractions. The baloon ascensions alone will be worth many miles of travel to behola. The following committees have charge of the arrangements: General committee—Jesse Harry, chairman, John Rellis, Al Roecker, T. A. McHugh, Hugh McEwan. Arrangement committee—E. C. Kiley, John Hepfel, Frank Grant, T. A. McHugh, E. J. McGown. Soliciting committee—John Rellis, James McDonald, William Dibbert, Keo LeRoux. 5 Musi¢ committee—Will Nesbitt, I. D.

Three Ordinances were given final reading and were passed. They relate to the stock nuisance; to the running of railroad trains through the village and the blockading of streets by the same, and fixing the scale of charges for electric lights. A resolution was passed fixing the grade on Third street between Kin- dred avenue ard Houghton avenue. The grade as established by Village Engineer Brown will lower the street three feet and eight inches in front of John Hepfel’s place of business. Mr Hepfel objects to this and has employed Frank F. Price and George H. Spear to bring action tu restrain the village from lowering the street in accordance with the plat tiled by Mr. Brown. He claims that the grade had heretofore been legally established and that it was upon this grade that he erected his building. No record of the establish- ment of this grade is to be found in the village recorder’s office. Upon application made by Mr. Hepfel’s attorneys Judge McClenahan issued a.temporary restraining order, and @ motion for a permanent injunetfon will beargued next Monday- Village brutally assaulted by Patterson, who is ‘‘boxer’ by trade. It is alleged FOR COHASSET that he was inspired by others to do the job. Frank Provovitch pleaded guilty to assault in the third degree, and was given sixty days it the county jail at hard labor. Daniel O’Leary is a young man who has been in jail since March last on a charge of robbery at Bovey. He robbed a chash register of $14. He pleaded guilty to petty larceny and got off with sixty days in the county jail at hard labor. The assault case of the state vs. Petar Radakuvich went to the jury yesterday afternoon and at the hour of going to press, noon today, no verdict bas been handed in.

A party of Minneapolis gentlemen were here last week looking up a suitable site for a wood manufactur- ing plant. They were very favorably impressed with Cohasset and if a tract of land can be secured they probably locate there. They will manufacture all kinds of wooden tubs. headings, hoops, staves, ete. It would be a big plant employing a large number of men. The hard- wood that is easily landed at that point makes Cohasset a desirable location for such an enterprise. Attorney Pratt is representing the contention of the village. The contractors who were engaged in the work of lowering the street and dumping the dirt into the Third street fill will not be inconvenienced, inasmuch as they had to suspend operations until the viaduct is com- pletea. Atsention is called to urdinance No. 49, which relates to the empounding | of cattle, horses, and all domestic | animals. The stringent provisions of that act are clearly set forth in the ordinance, which reads in part as follows: Sec. 1. It shall beunlawful for apy person owning or having in possession or under control any horse, cow, oxen, bull, swine, goat, sheep, poultry, mule or jack, of whatever age, to allow the same to run at large in the public streets, avenues, alleys or other public places, within the limits of the Village of Grand Rapids. at any time, or to pasture the same therein.
