The mammoth and incomparable Minnesota state fair on the opening day established a new record for attendance. Remarkable as was the attendance at the opening day last year, Monday’s record went it still stronger, meeting fully the expecta-j tions of the managers of the State Agricultural society. “We believe we have the best and biggest fair inthe United State,” said President B. F. Nelson, “and the manner in which the people turned out shows that they feel that way about it also.” The fact that Daan Patch was to pace contributed considerably to the big attendance. While Dan went a mile in 1:58, as compared to 1:55, which he established last year on the grounds as the world’s record, the intense admiration which he draws was nota bit diminished. The wind was too sharp and the air too cool for him to do his best. He demonstrated his regal pacing prowess and the spectaturs went home satisfied. The attendance op Monday is esti- mated at about 100,000. DEER RIVER MAN DROWNED. On Sunday ‘last in company with two friends, Al Kremer and Will Bright, Robert Barnett had gone up the Mississippi a couple of miles be- yond White Oak lake to hunt ducks. Barnett arose in the boat to take a shot at some birds which had alighted near them and in so doing capsized the boat. All three fell into the water and started to swim ashore. Two Dollars a Year. UNDERGOING REPAIRS. Work was this week statted on the Gladstone hotel, which will undergo extensive repairs. A basement, the entire size of the Original building, and a steam heat- ing plant will be the chief features of the repair work. The dinning room will be enlarged to nearly twice its present ‘rize, extending to the north side of the building on Fourth Street. The addition, abutting on Fourth street, formerly used as a barbershop, and the poarch facing on Kindred and-Fourth will be removed. The washroom and toilet, which are now on the first floor, will be moved ;to the basement+and soundry other repairs will be made that will place this popular hostelry among the first on the list of the best in the north- west, The Doran Brothers have enjoyed a pleasing patronage since assuming the management, about a year anda half ago, and upon the completion of the present improvements will un- doubtedly receive a much larger and well deserved patronage. NEW LAUNCH FOR POKEGAMA Shook & Borman haye just com: pleted one of the finest launches ever seen in this vicinity which will soon be in commission at Pokegama lake where it will be kept. The boat is 28 foot long and hasa seating capacity of about twenty-five. It carries a two-cylinder, jump spark, 8 to 12 hp., Smalley gasoline engine and_ will travel ata speed of about ten miles an hour. The building of the boat was all done at the shop of the firm at this When Kremer and Bright reached place and is as fine a piece of work as the shore they turned around to lov for their companion, but he was not to beseen. They looked for some- time, but finally the truth forced it- self upon them that he had not been so fortunate as they, and had gone to the bottom. k | Was ever turned out of any boat shop in the country. The builders are to be proud of their work and the people of Grand Rapids are to be cun- gratulated in having such skilled workman in our midst. Kremer and Brighr then climbed] HAVE BEEN onaraft of logs and floated down towardy Deer Riyer, arriving ther. shortly before midnight with the news of the drowning of Barnett. FLED FROM COHASSET Charged with threatening his wife violence and carrying a revolver said to have been procured for that pur- pose, William Grutzmaker was ar- raigned in municipal court this Wed- nesday and was sentenced to fifteen days at bard labor in the couuty jail. The domestic differences couple were thoroughly aired in court the wife appearing and telling a story of neglect, brutal treatment at the hands of the man and fears of personal injury. which prompted her to flee from her home in Cohassett to this city where she arrived yester- day. She stated that her husband, who she alleged, drinks heavily, has re- peatedly beaten her, and her bedy is now black and blue from recent in- juries. She made complaint to A stant City Attornoy McKeon, and Grutz- maker has Jocated, a revolver being found on his person when he was arrested, He told the police that he had pur- chased the weapon as a protection against wolves which frequent the locality where he resides, Cohassett, this state. Crutzmakea stated that he had a good job ab that place, is willing to provide for his wife and four children, but that she circulated stories about him while they lived there, and then departed for Duluth, takiny with ber most of the household goods. He arrived here at about the same time, and she states, followed her. She feared that he might carry out threats he had made of killing her, and made complaint tosthe officials. —Duluth Herald.

The Herald-Review bas been re quested to call the attention of all foot ball enthusiasts that a meeting will be held at the City Hall on Wed- nesday evening next for the purpose of orgrnizing a team for the {coming | season.

The general opinion is that if this fill is kept in shape there will be no trouble with it, but if neglected ,the rain and constant travel over it will soon make a bad and dangerous piece bighway of it. A cement sidewalk will at once be constructed on the south side. LABOR DAY WAS OBSERVED | All business houses were closed last | | | Monday in obseryation of Labor Day aad the people of Grand Rapids en- joyeds themselves in various ways although no fixed program was carried out. The day was fine from sunrise to sunset and .the citizens generally found a plenty of pleasure. Joshua Simpkins. The sensational rural comedy drama, “Joshua Simpkins,” will be produced at the opera house on Sept. 9, 1907. The play contains an interestiug and intelligible plot, but itis not allowed to interfere with the fun, which is said to bein abundance. | During the run of the play some startling scenes and situations are seen, the principal of which is said to be the saw-mile, in the third act, shown ip a complete operation, cutt- ting up real timber- The saw used is the genuine article, the usually seen in large country saw- mills. An excellent band and fine On Thursday afternoon Contractors | same as} orchestra accompany this attraction. The band will parade at noon, when some good music may be looked for, all being dressed as farmers. APPRAISERS ARE WANTED The United States of America, through Charles C. Houpt, district at- torney, has tiled a petition in the federal court asking that a board of appraisers be appointed to make a valuation of certaift lauds in Aitkin county near the Sandy Lake govern- ment reservoir on the Mississippi river. The land in question is needed by the government in order to carry out certain repairs and improvements to Uhe various upper river dams and reservoirs and to provide the neces- sarysoverflow lands needed for the operation of the resevoirs. Several hun¢red acres altogether are involved in the condemnation preceedings.— Duluth Herald. Itasca at the Fair. The following was taken from the St’ Paul Dispatch of Wednesday. “Ttasca county, which advertises that it is the greatest clover country inthe world, has a most creditable exhibit. It shows fifty varieties of grasses and forage plants and some alfalfa which is the second cutting of the season. There are thirty-six varieties of potatoes and eighty-tive of stock and culinary vegetables. Twenty-five varieties of grains are shown. Samples of strawberries, gooseberrjes, blackberries, etc., are shown in jars, and there are some plums which were plucked green from the trees. A. M. Sisler and Prof. A, J. McGuire, superintendent of the state experimental station at Grand Rapids, are in charge. A departure from the regular county exhibits is an iron ore dis- play, which is shown in the. Itasca county booth. The mines are opep— ing uprapidly, itis said, and the exhibitors point to the fact that they are getting the people into the coun- try to whom the truck farmers may offer their products, without having to go to any distant market.”’ Are Happely Married. It is with pleasure that we an- nounce to our readers the weding ceremony that’ united Miss Huldah A. Jerney, of North Branch, Minne- sota, and Mr. Edward Hainke of, this city, at the Presbyterian church, by Rev, Silloway of the M. E. church, on Wednesday, Aug. 28, at 30 o'clock. The weeding was a quite 3 one, only afew intimate friends of the contracting parties being present. Miss Laura Rassmussen of Grand Rapids officiated as bridesmaid, and} and Herbert G. Hainke fo Milwau- kee, a brother of the groom, was best man. After the ceremony a wedding luoch was served at the Bovey hotel. The bride is a reflued young lady, who bas many friends in Grand Rapids, where she is well known The groom has been aresidence of Bovey the past year, but has been a residend of this scountry at Split hand, where he hasa farm, for the last ten years. He has a~ wide acquaintance in this country, and is very popular.—Itasca [ron News. New Stone and Timber Ruling. According to a new ruling just handed down by the commissioner of the United States land office at Washington, applicants for stone and timber claims must hereafter make a second visit and examination of the land before making final proof. This will entail some extra expense upon the.applicant and will in nowise alter the result. Heretofore it has only been considered necessary for the applicant for a stone and timber claim to visit and make thorough ex- amination of the land just before he makes the original application. An affidavit signed by himself and his witnesses is then presented at the lucal office. Under the new ruling it would seem that a second examina- tion of the Jand by the applicant and his witness will be necessary, as un- der it the department asks foran affidavit at the time the final proof is made showing that the applicant and his witnesses have visited the land on the date or avout the date that the proof is made.

IRON UNDERLIES THE POOR FARM The discovery of iron under the Itasca county poor farm. and the dea} just closed between the county com- missioners and a company of Grana Rapids men for working the mine on aroyalty basis, has created quite a flurry local wining circles and arous- ed a deep interest in the future possibilities of this section. The county commissioners have signed the papers, granting the right to extract theiron ore under the poor farm, and work developing the pro- perty will proceed at once. John Rellis and Ernest Remer, rep- resenting a companyof Grand Rap- ids men, are the grantees. By the contract the price to be paid is 25 cents for each ton of ore mined from the 160 acres of four government sub- divisions. Under the terms of the lease not less than 10,000 tons are to be taken from each subdivision, and the company 1s bound to begin opera- tions within ninety days from the date of the lease. After the first two years 20,000 tons must be pro- duced from each forty. The time of the lease is unlimited. The com- pany is boundin the sum of $10,000 to fulfill its part of the contract. The action was made by the unanimous vote of the board. The Independent Farmer. A certain class of newspaper men assert that the farmer is the most in- dependent man on earth, and that he has nothing to do but enjoy life. ‘Then when winter comes and the blizzard’s on the wing he toasts his feet in the oven and reads the local newspapers and the only thing that. disturbs him isa call three times a day to a banquet of mince pies and other luxuries. It isa mistake. The industrious farmer begins work long before the sun thinks of getting jup. With his soul shrouded in gloom he proceeds to build a fire and soften his boots with a sledge hammer. He then takes a lantern and shovels his way to the barn and feeds the hogs. It is then time to feed the newly ar- rived calf, which seems to delight in butting a pail of milk overthe tiller of the soil until he needs to be stamp- ed to pass fora package of vlemar- warine. Hecrawls through a barb- wire fence and digs the hay out of the snow, feeds the cows, cleans the stable, gathers up the frozen chicks, chases a stray pig worth for four mniles and does not catch it, doctors a sick horse, freezes his fingers, gets kicked by a one-eyed mule, and when the gloming comes and quietness brooks over, all the earth he has a sipgle hour to meditate and wonder how he will pay his ta .— Ex. A WESTERN WED- DING WRITE-UP The wedding editor in describing the handsome dress of the bride and the popularity of the groom, general ly accompanies his “send off” with nictures of the newly launclied. The editor of a western paper has taken a new departure in waiting up festivals of dress parade, rice throwing and congratulations of friends. The scribe says of a recent celebration in his district: ‘Miss Jennie Bob Henry were married at the Jones Mansion last night. ‘he bride is the daughter of our constable, Jones, wh made a officer, and will un- doubtedly be re-elected next spring. he offers a fine horse for sale in anoth- er column. The groom runs a grocery store on main street, andis a patron of our advertising columns Jones and good good jand has a good line of bargains all this week. All the summer he paid two cents more for butter than any store in town. The happy couple left ou the afternoon train for Mill- waukee to visit the bride’s uncle, who is reported to have lots of money and Bright’s disease—Bob certainly has an eye for business. The editor, the office staff, including the official imp, have received invitations to at= tend the coming bome banquet of the Jones-Henry combination.” Important Notice to Parents.
