The securing of all necessary supplies. text books, etc., entails a close watch- fullness that every citizen is not ca- puble of doing justice to. There are forty-eight rural schools now running in the district, and which are said by Superintendent Mrs. Booth to be doing excellent work.

Fuller, who liveson Winnipeg avenue, had a narrow escape from death last Friday. He was working for John O’Brien on the Ziniger road about three miles east of town, and was looking after the blasting of stumps. He lighted a fuse and re- tired to a place of safety. The ex- plosion did not take place as soon as he thought it should. He returned to relight it and just as he took hold of the fuseitexploded.

The Grand Rapids high school foot- pall team walloped Hibbing on the field here Friday afternoon, with a score of 9 to 0. The Grand Rapids team is composed of big fellows and as fine a bunch of boys as one could find in a month’s travel, and they can play the game. The Hibbing team is full twenty pounds to the mao lighter thax the visitors, but the local boys expected to win the game by the superior grade of activity they have develoyed this year. They played a hard luck game from the start, but they did not become dis- couraged in the least. Some of their best players went wrong and other things crept in that worked against them. George Cobb was knocked out of the game and Fred Cobb was taken out. Every one of the boys were more or less damaged. Kanipes, Dwyer, McLeod and Thomas were fearfully pounded up, but they hung on like real heroes. The local lads showed their stuff when they prevented a touchdown and held their rivals with- in six inches of the line—it was a great sight. The Grand Rapids boys play a fine game—they have weight, activity and training and the team that defeats them is a team that any town might well feel proud of, and Hibbing is proud of the fact that the jocal boys held them down as close as they did.—Hibbing Ore. A Pre-Nuptial Affair. The following will be read with interest by many Grand Rapids peo- ple who are acquainted with the bride. Miss Crouse was in Grand Rapids several months last winter and summer, in the employ of. Regis- ter of Deeds Lang of Koochiching county, transcribing the records for the new county. While here she made many friends who will join the Herald-Review in extending con- gratulations. The following is taken from the International Falls Echo: “Miss Jennie Crouse departed last night tor Benson, her parental home. where she will remain until she re- turns as the bride of Dr. F. W. Briggs. The past two weeks were made pleasant ones for Miss Crouse by a number of little affairs given in her honor, one of which was a Japan- ese “shower’’ at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Lang last Saturday. © Fif- teen young lady friends of the bride- elect were entertained and each took as her gift a piece of Japanese china- ware. The house was prettily deco- rated in autumn leves, and these with the spirit of the occasion made the afternoon a happy one for all, and shave issued twelve licenses ta non- especially for the guest of honor. While all was so pleasant there was still something lacking, and as the young ladies waited for the void tobe filled they daintily hemstitched a dozen linen towels, the gift of the hostess, and in them folded wishes for the bride, which are not to be read by her until she becomes Mrs. Briggs. At six o’celock what was lacking was supplied, and a man’s mind will instantly revert to dinner, but it was something of more impor- tance—man himself. At that hour a a similar number of the sterner sex arrived and each one added to the pleasure of the occasion by the con- tribution of “some old thing” which he thought would be useful’ in the home soon to be established. Dinner followed and until alate hour social converse, music and cards helped make the occasion one which will never be forgotten by Miss Crouse and Dr. Briggs. Baby Carriages at Half Price. John O'Connor, who had worked during the past few years for the Itasca Logging company out from Deer River, was taken into custody last Saturday by Frank Mc- Cormick at the Great Northern de- { pot. O’Conner had been in the wait- ing room nearly ail night. In the morning he wrote a telegram ad- dressed to William H. Taft, Wash- | ington, D. C., in which he said: ‘“‘they | are selling baby carriages at half price,” and signed his name. Mr. | McCormick was present when O'Con- | nor wanted the operator to send the | Message with no unnecessary delay. | His actions indicated that he was demented, and Frank led him to the county jail. He was adjudged insane and was committed to the Fergus | Falls asylum. Gifted Musicians. No more satisfactory entertain- ment was ever given at the Commer- cial club. They sing so well that staid members not only applauded but cheered. Ralph Vunbar isa fine ‘cellist, an artist worthy of that much abused title. Harry Dunbar is a gifted impersonator. Mr. Felgar’s voice gave much pleasure and the tenor, Mr. Robinson, deserves men- tion. The flute, ‘cello and piano trios were received with most gen- erous demonstrations. The quartette singing was especially notable in Damrosch’s ‘Danny Deever.’’—Brock- ton (Mass.) Daily Enterprise. Hundreds of Hunters. County Auditor Spang has issued 420 hunting licensee up to date.

AND HIBBING PAPERS SCOLD With a Rare Degree of Impudence Doc Rutledge of the Pioneer Ventures to Dictate Terms to Our Peerless Champs. If Bemidji’s foot ball players, and especially some of their backers and rooters are not more careful in their conduct and treatment of teams that condescend to play with them, they will be checked off the list and en- tirely ignored hereafter. The Grand Rapids, boys can’t help being cham- pions and gentlenmen. They are built that way. When they come in contact with a buoch of raffians and unskilled bullies and put it all over them by sheer force of their superior skill, agility and physical superiority, they do not expect to be called upon to get into the arena in a rough-and- tumble fight against a whole city-full Two Dollars a Year. is such that the report in the Ore this week of his coaching and referee- ing of the High school game between Grand Rapids and Hibbing at the latter place last Saturday 1s notcred- ited. When Mr. Doran's attention was ca lled to the Ore’s comments he said that the Ore’s sporting editor must belong to the Hibbing base ball gang. “The Hibbing crowd of rooters was made up of their regular base ball bunch” said Mr. Doran, ‘and maintained the reputation they have always had of being rowdies. As soon aS the, game started they be- gan coaching their team, which is strictly against the rales. When, as umpire, I protested, the crowd re- sponded with gibes and jeers. Re- feree Smith attempted to make them desist but met with the same treat- ment. The The Hibbing team did not in any instance get the worst of it from the officials, but on the con- trary got. much the better of the de- cisions. For instance, when Smith, the referee, blew his whistle while the ball was in motion and brought it back after Captain Meyers had car- ried it through the Hibbing team and over the Hibbing goal for a two score. If there are any real foot ball devotees in Hibbing they should look up the rules and play accordingly. Foot ball is a rough and exciting game, and when a gang of rowdies on the side lines suggest and advise violence some hot-headed player or spectator may act on the suggestion. It must be that the editof of the Ore does not understand the rules of foot ball; otherwise he would not have published any such unfare criticism.” of ‘‘thoodlums;” and what is more they refuse to play foot ball with any team that is looking to conclude the entertainment with a fistic matinee. This was the deal our boys were up against at Bemidji, for which the re- spectable element of that town should be heartily ashamed. After thegame Radids for burial on Wednesday, in- terment being made in Itasca ceme- tery. The deceased was father o Mrs. George Affieck. He resided onaclaim near Laprairie for many years and was well known in this vicinity. Be- coming feeble about a year ago went to liye with a son in Hubbard county, where he spent his last days. Sue to Recover $415. “Little & Nolte, a local real estate firm, began an action against George E. Palmer to recover $415 which they allege to be due on a real estate agreement,” says the Duluth News Tribune. ‘In the complaint the real estate brokers say that Palmer gave them instructions to sell his land in Itasca county for $30 per acre. They secured a buyer tn Herbert I. Gooch. The complaint continues that Pal- mer then failed to deliver a deed for the property and has always since that time refused to keep his agree- ment.” We don’t blame Mr. Palmer for refusing to.sell Itasca county real estate for $30 per acre. Had a-Good Time. The Grand Rapids high school foot ball team was given a reception at the Lincoln high school auditorium last night, by the Hibbing team, other pupils and teachers, and the boys forgot the struggle of the after- noon. The teams of the two towns always swear by each other, and the Hibbing lads hold nothing against the visiting team. They had a rat- tling good time last night.—Iron Ore, Hibbing. A Delightful Party. George Moore was a very much sur- prised gentleman last Wednesday evening when he was inveigled over to Sheriff Hoolihan’s residence where he found awaiting him a large number of townspeople and some from Cohasset. A surprise party had been arranged for our former county commissioner before his departure for his home in Oregon. It was certainly a jolly party that had as- sembled, all of whom appeared bent on having a royal good time. - The rooms were soon cleared for dancing, the Grand Rapids orchestra furnished music and it was not until nearly three o’clock in the morning that the last good nights were said. The ladies had provided luncheon which was served at midnight. There was no one present’ who enjoyed the pleasures of the evening more than than did Mr. Moore. -That he fully appreciated ‘the spirit of triendship shown him by the presence of so mapy of his former neighbors was ap- was over Stewart McLaughlin, of the Rapids, who had been knocked out during the play, was standing alone on the fleld wrapped in an overcoat, when one of the Bemidji players, Pete Edd, walked up to Stewart, knocked him down and then kicked him se- verely. This was an act of unprovok- ed brutality that should have been resented by the Bemidji boys. On the contrary, however, they seemed to rather enjoy seeing a helpless guest of their town treated in this manner. During the entire game the rooters and some of the players acted as though they were at a dog fight in stead of a fuot ball game. There is some talk of another game between the Brmidji and Grand Rapids teams on neutral grounds for a purse of $150 a side. ‘*Doc” Rut- ledge, who appears to have something to do with the Bemidji outfit, has | been in communication with Man- ager Joe O’Dey, but the former wants to dictate just where the play will take place and he also insists that none but those who played iu the former games shall take part in the proposed contest. The last pro- viso would be impossible for Grand Rapids to accept, for the very good and sufficient reason that some of the boys have left town and can not be secured. Manager O'Dey will have none but actual residents of this town in the game. The three neces- sary to substitute will be boys who were raised in Grand Rapids and are not professionals or university pro- ducts. If Mr. Rutledge is inclined to be square and demonstrate that he has some genuine sporting blood in his veins he will pot search for provis+ ions that must necessarily preclude the Rapids team from accepting his terms. Manager O’Dey has the team and the money. All he insists upop is a square deal, and if Bemidji can- not play on such terms, let the man- ager thereof announce on behalf of his bunch of culls that they are out- classed by the Rapids players and hereafter will confine their contests te towns of their own rating. In reply to Kutledge’s challenge to the Independent man toplay for $50 a side it is only necessary to observe that the Bemidji editer was careful in selecting his man. Why didn’t he pick someone who has fifty simoleons with which to call his bluff? Asa four-flusher ‘“‘Doc” has us all cheated forty ways from the deuce and then some, ¢ : DUNBAR COMPANY AT VILLAGE HALL Will Appear Saturday, Nov. 14, Un- der Auspices of Public Library Board. The first of the series of entertain- ments to be given under the auspices of the Public Library board during the winter months will appear at Village hall next Saturday evening. Five attractions have been arranged for, and the committee in charge of selecting the course has made a special effort to secure the very best that the lyceum bureaus have to of- fer. Saturday eyening the Dunbar company—male quartet and _ bell singers — will entertain the people of Grand Rapids. The Dunbars are conceded to be among the very high class musicians. The Wausaw, ( Wis.) Daily Record says: “From gay to serious, easily span- ning without violence the distance from the sublime to the comic, in which an amusing ridiculousness was not wanting, keeping an audience that completely filled the Grand Opera House on a tidal wave of pleasurable expectancy, the Dunbars easily proved themselves masters of an entertainment void of criticism, full of good things and furoishiog an aftermath in which refinement, culture and a healthy mentality were striking features. ”” Woods-Bennington Nuptials. The Herald-Review acknowledges an announcement card of the follow- ing interesting social event, and ex- tends congratulations to the young couple. Both bride and groom are well known in Grand Rapids, baving lived here for some time. A news report from Cass Lake under date of Nov. 6, says: ‘Louis Bennington of Northome and Miss Alberta Woods of Cass Lake were married at the bride’s home in this place, Wednes- day morning at 11:30 a’clock. Only the immediate relatives and a few invited guests were present. Rev. Mr. Barbour officiatéd and after the ceremony a sumptuous wedding re- pust was served. Mr. Bennington is the purchasing agent for the St. Cloud Paper com- pany and holds a wide acquaintance. Miss Woods is a very popular young lady of this city.” Dedication of New Church.
