Johnson of Grand Rapids and Mrs. Anna M. Schumacher of St. Paul were united in marriage at St. Paul on Tuesday, August 10. The many Grand Rapids friends of the couple were very agreeably sur- prised when the fact of . their mar- Tiage was announced by Mr. Johnson last Thursday upon his arrival home with his bride. About three weeks ago Mr. Johnson left on a visit to a sister at Taylors Falls, Minn., and also to visit a brother in Illinois, whom he had not met in about forty years. He related to his friends be- fore leaving how he expected to en- joy. himself until about the first of October before returning to Grand Rapids. But not an intimation of the contemplated marriage was \ dropped to his closest friends. The hearty congratulations extended, how- ever, were non the less sincere. The bride, who had been a form- er resident of Grand Rapids for |gmany years, had made her home in it. Paul during past year and a half, but the Grand Rapids friends of neith- er of the contracting parties had been-advised of the approaching nup- tials, and the surprise was more com- plete than such surprises usually are. The groom had long since been }scheduled as an irredeemable bach- elor and of late his associa ites be- NESDAY, AUGUST 18, gan to entertain some fear that he was drifting into the grouch class, but the ceremony at St. Paul ex- plained this—he was in love and re- fused to admit it. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson immediate- ly settled down to housekeeping in the pleasant rooms on Second street over the Johngon clothing ‘store. The HeraldReview joins with the many friends of the happy couple in extending hearty congratulations and best wishes for their future pleasures of lifei JAMES J. HILL DONATES PRIZES Will Offer $2,500 in Supplementary Prizes at the National Corn Exposition, Omaha. The item published herein is being sent qut by the Great Northern rail- way company, the purpose of Mr. Hill being to advertise the wonderful resources of the northwest. The farmers. of this county should take a lively interest in this competition and should commence preparing their samples for the different classes at once. The prizes are well worth the effort. “Mr. James J. Hill, chairman of the Board, Great Northern Railway, has decided to offer $2500.00 in sup- plementary special prizes at the National Corn exposition, Omaha, for grains and grasses grown within the Great Northern zone. Prizes are of- fered for fife, blue stem and durum wheat, red and white winter wheat, oats, barley, field peas and flax, any variety, flint corn and dent corn.

Quite a number of campers have been enjoying the lake this week. They .came from various places.

These were all guests of Charles King and family of Bovey. Mr. and Mrs. Ver- milyea of this city were also among those who enjoyed the outing. They occupied the Mr. Ryther home and grounds on the west side of the lake.—Itasca Iron News. Farce of the Pharisee. The Iron News of Bovey sizes up the “Rev.” Hill of Coleraine in a manner that expresses the general opinion of the fellow. In reporting the arrest and midnight “railroading” of Con. Grefe last week, the News says: i “The crusade farce which long ago reached a ridiculous stage added a new chapter to its proceedings when on Monday evening at 8:30 o’clock Officer Carson of Coleraine under a warrant sworn out by Rev. F. W. Hill arrested Con. Grefe on a charge of shooting with «intent to kill. The al- leged crime is stated to have taken place on the evening of the preceed- ing Tuesday, but notwithstanding the intervening time, at any time Grefe being accessible, no arrest occurred and Con theught no more of it and was of course somewhat surprised to find himself énroute for jail as stated above. No small indignation is ex- pressed over the village at the high- handed procedure. Mr. Grefe may or may not be guilty, as a matter of fact, he was not, but to be taken to jail without a chance for his life is hardly a square deal in the eyes of any fair minded community. Rev. Hill himself could. appreciate this con. dition if the facts were reversed in The pyizes for each of the] the case. To be'jailed first and then be allowed bonds in the morning looks to a man up a tree’that some- one thought more of the jail part than the conviction of “manslaughter (?)” afterwards. Grefe could have been conveniently absent, had he so de- sired, but he remained and now will face the charge of attempted mur- der. “Rev. Hill seems to take a great interest in Bovey’s morals. One would think that he lived here and/| was working for a cleaner residence. If this were his home then his actions could be appreciated the more, but as it is they seem out of order. We can stand it, those who live here, and if the Rev. finds it tiresome we know of a delightful home in the tro- pies for sale cheap. “Rey. Hill not satisfied with the notoriety that he can stir up in Bo- vey for himself has demanded a re- traction from the Grand Rapids Her- ald-Review, under a penality of a libel suit. «Of course the elder will get it—nixy. What a_ rideculous farce this is getting to be.” Foot Race Was Postponed. The foot race between Albert Wellein and Lester Lofberg, which was scheduled to take place last Thursday evening, was postponed to Thursday evening of this week on account of the illness of one of the participants. As before mentioned, it will be 100 yard dash for a side bet of $5.00 and will be run on Le- land avenue in front of the Central school house. As this is also band concert night, it is expected that a large number will be out to witness the run.

A large number of people who have been squatting on the Winnibigoshish Cass Lake, Chippewa and Leech Lake Indian reservations will be great ly. disappointed over a letter recently sent out by the Department of the Tnterior, the body of which reads as follows: “By letter “K” of March 138th, 1909, all lands in the Winnibigoshish, Cass Lake Chippewa of the Mississippi and | Leech lake Indian reservations, not included in the National Forest, cre- ated by act of May 23rd, 1908, (35 Stat., 268), and not open yet to Home- stead entry, were withdrawn from homestead settlement for the period of six months from the date thereof. Said withdrawal was for the purpose of faciliting the exchange of allot- ments from lands within the limits of such National Forest to lands out- side thereof and was made on the recommendation of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. “On July 26th, 1909, the Depart- ment approved a-recommendation of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that this office be instructed to ex- tend the period of withdrawal for a further period of six months from September 13th, next, inasmuch, as the Indian office has learned that the exchanges cannot well be effect- ed within six months from March 13th 1909. Accordingly, the land in ques- tion are withdrawn for a further period of six months from September 13th, 1909, and you will so note on your records.” This means that the lands in ques- tion cannot be filed upon until March 13th, 1910, and will effect a large number who have been squatting on lands near Deer River, Ballclub and a.
