Diphtheria is quite prevalent this winter in some of the towns and villages in this state, but has not been attended by the usual number of fatal cases. Grand Rapids has been fortunate in regard to an epidemic of this disease. An exchange has discovered that a poor girl has to be awfully good look- ing to be pretty and a rich girl has to be awfully homely to be ugly. It might have added that a poor man has to be awfully smart to be intelli- gent, and a rick man almost a block- head to be ignorant. Arrangements have been completed whereby we shall have two union services Sunday Jan. sth. 10:30 a. m. Presbyterian church; 8:00 p. m. High school auditorium. Speaker, Rev. Duluth tor examination. When arraigned in municipal court it was discovered that the scene of the crime was in Itasca county and he was held for the authorities of this couaty. Sunday Deputy Sheriff Fish brought Pfaff to Grand Rapids. He was brought before Justice Huson and the hearing adjourned until January gth. The advent of the new year was marked in Duluth by the dropping of the time ball on the top of the Torry building illuminated with eight red lights, thus painting the first momeits of 1908 red. After the time ball fell at noon the illuminations were raised to the top of the pole and when mid- night came it fell and was followed by a miniature Fourth of July celebra- tion. . Carlos Avery, executive agent of the state game and fish commission, has given out an estimate of deer and moose known to have been killed during the open season of 1907, It 1s estimated that 5,000 deer and 150 moose fell before the guns of the hun- ters. The number shipped were 2,084 deer and 82 moose and it is estimated that as many more were killed by the residents Of the various counties where this game abounds. Fifty-four non-resident licenses were issued by the commission during the season. Attention is again called to the ruling of the postoffice department regarding postal cards enclosed in envelopes, ‘The stamp must be at- tached to the envelope and not. to the card and a hole cut to show the stamp. The latest ruling is that where cards are received enclosed with stamp on .card, they are to be taken from the envelope except such as are covered with tinsel, mica and other substances liable to rub off, which will be held from the mail. ~ An editor approached St. Peter at the Golden Gate and handing hima long list of delinquent subscnbers said: “Look this list over carefully and see if any of these fellows have sneaked through the pearly gates.” “No,” said Peter, “There are none of them inside, but a fellow shpped through the other day who took the paper a year without paying for it and had the postmaster mark it ‘refused,’ but we are after him, and when caught he will be consigned to the place where he properly belongs.. He is meaner even than the delinquent subscriber, and Heaven 1s not his home.” ~The preliminary examination of John BRotto has been conclud- ed before Justice Huson and he was bound over to the district court for trial. The most damaging tes- timony was the admission by Botto that he had dynamite in_ his. possess- ion and he practically admitted that he had_ swiped it while working on a mine contract. The deadly explosive was putin a box and then placed in his trunk and shipped to his ‘home. Ill-feeling existing on the ‘part of the Botto’s towards some of the Italians is surmised to have culminated in the the tragedy. Chas. Sawyer celebrated New Years by killing a cow moose against the peace and dignity of the game laws of the state and was arrested ona warrant issued by Judge Huson, and served by Deputy Sheriff. Harry and the prisoner landed in jail. He was arraigned and the hearing fixed tor Saturday afternoon. Sawyer was found at his old stamping ground: on 58-25.

Ferguson’s Dixie Male Quartette have for many seasons stood at the head of the list of colored male quartettes in America and, without a doubt, rep- resent the hignest.tpye of the college- bred cultured negro vocalist. Their sweet, mellow voices “blend like a periect . instrument;” their music possesses a wealth of harmony, rich- ness of tone and volume that is seldom equaled by any quartette, white or colored; their rendering of diffiult classical music has been a marvel to many audiences, while their clever comic selections and pure rollicking humor have made warm friends among the Christian and cultured peopled everywhere. In support of the justly famous Dixie Quartette the management presents again the cele- brated prima donna, Neale Gertrude Hawkins-Buckner, soprano, with other noted artists. The members of this now popular company have been assembled from what have been stars in other similar companies, retaining their own best talent; all this without regard to cost and with great care as regards high musical excellence and morial rectitude. We have no hesi- tancy in announcing the Dixies as the leading colored concert company of America. The Ogden (Utab) Examiner says: —The Dixie company at the Taber- nacle last night added a new beauty to the old plantation -songs. It. was the irrepressible optimism of the negro expressing itself in audible form. Melodies that have become common to the entire country, sweet lutlabies, rollicking dialect songs and songs of the southland were rendered with expression, The quartet blended ex- cellently. W. E.

She reports that the captain is recovering from his recent accident and is able to be about, Joseph Levy of Minneapolis pur- chased the stock of the Enterprise sture, which was in theghands of a receiver. The new proprietor is a brother of Ben Levy. Gecrge Welch, commissioner of Immigration, ina recent letter to the Bemidji Pioneer, says: “There isa general awakeniog throughout the “country to the latent possibilities of agricultural development of the state of Minnesota. Not more than 40 percent of her good agricultural land is now being tilled, and yet Minnesota stands fourth in cereal crop productions when compared with the 46 statesin the Union. Under au average development, it is fair to presume Minnesota will stand at the top. Her agricultural lands are sold at a lower price per acre than any other section in America, when we consider the productive value, and the only reason there is not a flood of immigration to our state is because those living within her borders are unacquainted with her opportuni- ties.” PLEASENT SURPRISE = The Sisters wish to extend their thanks to the many friends who were sb generous in their gifts-to the Hos- pital, and all the more to be appreciat- ed, because they came unsought. Among those who showed their loving | thoughtfulness, were Dr. Storch, Dr. Gendron, Dr. Russell, C. C. Dickin- son, and many ladies of Grand Rapids will long be remembered, by the | sisters and patients as they prepared and sent in the Christmas and New Years djnner. Again thanking ail our generous friends-sincerely, as we} are unable to mention all their names | on account of its taking up too much! space of the public paper. Weinvoke God’s blessing upon you in prayers. Sr. BeNEDICTS Hospira.. our i _ When you smoke Booth’s Bouquet you smoke the best domestic cigar on jthe market.
