The Herald-Review force has been short two men this week, the which fact is responsible for the large amount of news scarcity in_ these pages.

The contractor who had the job of replacing the wooden culvert for a cement one, under the Great Nor- thern fill near the Court House has completed the work and moved his outfit away.

Coleraine Lodge No. 231 Indepen- dent Order of Odd Fellows of the State of Minnesota, was instituted in due form by Grand Master Charles H. Budd of Montivedeo and Grand Secretary A. L. Bolton of St. Paul in the Masonic hall Thursday afternoon. A number of Grand Rapids Odd Fellows were present and took part in the services. The first case tried by Judge Wright in his home town of Park Rapids was the hardest fought action that was‘ever tried in Hubbard coun- ty, The trial was a damage suit brought by the widow of Conductor Steel, who met death in a wreck on a Jogging spur. The trial lasted seven and one half days and the woman got a verdict of $4,500. The South Side Skee Club, Ed, Whaling sole owner and proprietor of shde, have been having some high old times of late. The boys are all train- ing for champion jumpers and the way they jump and land wrong side up in a tangle of legs, arms, skees and snow is something worth going over to see. So far the boys have escaped any serious injury. Mody Winsor undertook to break the record and while he made a fine jump he did’nt land just right. Aside from a skinned chin, a bruised nose and a broken tooth he came out of it in pretty fair shape. The editor of an exchange, who has evidently had the matter brought for- cibly to his notice, gives out the fol- lowing: “If the old brindle cow should get out many a man or woman would walk the streets half the night looking for her, but let a twelve-year- old son or daughter tail to show up and the parents retire for the night. We dare not be too hopeful over the future of the human race as long as the fathers and mothers think more of rounding up a $20 cow or a $3 shoat than they do of coraling their sons and daughters at reasonable hours in the evening.” ‘ Tf you do not possess a roll that a horse with the spring-halt could not step over, do not go after your tax statement quite yet. Wait and get your thoughts clear and your mind calm and at peace. with the world. Say to your self, “I’m lucky to have anything tobe taxed on anyway,” Get all nice and quiet inside and then go down and take your capsule, It will hurt but it willnot kill. You may be crippled, but you will survice. And that is something.—A. J. R. in Minneapolis Journal, A mean exchange says the follow- ing is the correct formula for doing the “Barn Dance”, which is said to be + the latest craze among the trippers of the hght fantastictoe: Put your arm gracetully around the girl, make a noise hike a cow, and take three steps to the water trough. Then eat a small amount of bran, mixed with a couple of hops anda bale of hay, walk as nearly like a chicken as pos- sible, turn a hand spring, kick like a balky horse and smile.as if you had eaten a barrel of stock food, seat your partner and get another.’ Capt. Batchelder Weds. Capt. B. W. Batchelder of the Haw- kines mine at Nashwauk and Miss Minionette Murphy, a popular school teacher ofthat place, were quietly married at the Hotel Spalding in Duluth last Saturday evening. The interesting ceremony was performed | by Rev. C. W. Ramshaw, pastor of the M. E. Church of Proctor. After a brief trip to the Twin Cities Capt, Batchelder and his bride returned to Nashwauk to reside. The groom made a trip to Grand Rapids last Fnday to secure the necessary marriage license, but failed to confide to any of his frends here the happy thoughts that were uppermost -in his mind, The bride is quite well known to many Grand Rapids citizens and, has a host of friends at Cohasset where she formerly taught in the public schools. The Heraid-Review joms their many friends in wishing Capt. Batchelder and his bride all the joys of life. A Rare Combination. The Whitney brothers, far famed as one ofthe really yreat quartets now in this country, will appear at the High school auditorium on Thursday, February 18. An eastern critic has said of the Whitney Bro- thers: “It is rare to find in one family four gifted brothers; rarer tu find four possessing the same gift; rarer yet to find four brothers with yoices so attuned that they can assume the several parts in a quartet; rarest of all to find four whose esprit de corps, close sympathy and magnificent ‘team work’ enable them to give a program of such beauty, harmony, symmetry, balance and high appeal as that of the Whit ney Brothers. One of the brotners is an accompadist of distinction; an- other is one of the best readers upon the concert platform. The Whitneys compel laughter or tears at will, delight the ear, warm the heart, in anevening thatis unique, artistic, complete. Their program is most popular. It abounds in mirth, and yet all that these brothers do is in- vested inan atmosphere of refine- ment. dignify and beauty.” What time does the clock stop?
