It was a game worth watching which was played by the city teams of 1909 and 1900 at the South Side park Sunday afternoon. : In the first inning the Grays secur- ed three runs while the “hasbeens” were given three straight goose eggs. In the seccnd the Grays again scor- ed three times and the “hasbeens” secured one run. In the third the Grays were handed three ciphers while the “hasbeens” got busy and slipped in another run. Both teams tion was accepted by his erstwhile colleagues. Mr. Hughes was elected to the council in March, 1908, and was again last March. In both in- stances he protested, but the strong pressure brought to bear finally pre- vailed upon him to accept the empty honors of ‘the office. He concluded, however, that in justice to the vil- lage and his private business he could not longer afford to.serve as a public .offical, and hence the resign- ation. The vacancy thus created will probably be filled by the council at the next meeting. Death of Mrs. James Brotherton. Mary A. Brotherton, aged forty-six had now settled down to business and from the third to the end of the game neither side scored. The “hasbeens” were handicapped on account of some of their players failing to show up, but were in the game all the time. The line-up of the opposing teams was as follows: “Hasbeens’—Shoaff, 2; Art Romans, p; Ed. Logan, ss; Jorgeson, 1st b; Chas. Doran, rf; Pogue, 2nd b; Sport, cf;Lafreniere, 3rd b; Cloutier, If. In the sixth Romans’ arm gave out, LaFrenier was put in the box and James Doran played right field. Grays—McCab- bage, 2nd b; Dick, 3rd b; Zimmers, ¢; Lofberg, ss; Wellein, 1st b; McAlpine, If; Huss, p; McLachlan, ef; Romans, rf.

A meeting of the Grand Rapids Volunteer Fire department..was held in the council rooms at Village hall Tuesday evening and several import- ant matters were taken up and dis- cussed. It was decided to form a firemen’s benefit and relief association under the state laws, which provide a fund for such organizations, and in accord- ance with an ordinance recently pass- ed by the village council. A commit- tee consisting of F. E. Patterson, H.} D. Powers and E, A. Kremer was ap- pointed to draft a constitution and} by-laws which will be taken up and considered at the next meeting. It was decided to give a dance on Thanksgiving night for the benefit of the fire department. The matter of the northern Minne- sota Firemen’s tournament which will be held at Grand Rapids in June, 1910, was taken up, and although a little early in the game, the financial part was thoroughly discussed and various means for raising money were | devised. Grand Rapids has always had a reputation for entertaining on a lavish scale and this year the de- partment proposes to outdo all former tournaments. At present there is about $160 in the treasury. RETAIL CLERKS’ ATHLETIC CLUB Hold Meeting Tuesday Evening— Entrance Fees Will Be $2 and Monthly Does 50c. A meeting of the Retail Clerks’ Athletic club was held at Village hall Tuesday evening for the pur- pose of adopting a set of rules and by-laws. for the direction and guidance of ithe business of the club. It was decided the regular business meeting of the club shall be held on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The main purpose of the organization #s to promote athletics among its members. All applications for mem- bership will be decided by a majority vote. It was decided to set the en- trance fee at $2 and the monthly dues at 50c provided that a furth€r assessment of 50c may be levied at each regular business meeting for social purposes. No action was taken on securing quarters, it being decided to hold the matter over until the next regular meeting which will be on Sep. 7. The club has a membership of over forty and is steadily growing in favor. Henry Hughes Resigns. After faithfully serving as a mem- ber of the village council of Grand Rap years, wife of James Brotherton, pass- ed away at the James Doran home Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock. She had been operated on for a cancer at three different times without success, which gradually enweakened her con- stitution and for some time past she | has been unable to leave her bed. She was born at Cleveland, Ohio, and and was married to James Brothertor in 1881. Of this union two children weieborn, neither of whom survive her. Mr. and Mrs. Brotherton came to Grand Rapids in 1906, residing on! the Doran farm two years, since which time they have lived in the} village. Mrs. Brotherton leaves a husband, two sisters and three broth-) ers. They are: Mrs. K. E. Doran of | Grand Rapids; Mrs, Henry Watt, Rus! City; Jo}u Allen Stillwater; John and} Edward Allen, New London, Wis. The body was shipped to Stillwater | Tuesday morning where interment took place. The Yellow Tag Sale. The opening days of the yellow tag sale at Henry Hughes & Co.’s store surpassed all expectations as_ the} streams of people going in and out would testify. The regular force was augmented by seven additional clerks and on Saturday, the opening day, two delivery wagons were rushec to their full capacity. Monday was also a big day at the sale, and Tues- day, although not as good as the pre- ceding day, was remarkable for the sales in the dry goods department. This sale reflects great credit on Frank J. Hart, who has charge of the advertising and the arranging of the display. The statements made in the four-page advertisement in the Herald-Review and the folders, which were generously distributed throughout the surrounding territory, | were exactly as represented and | every proposition made therein is faithfully carried out. The sale will continue seven days. ' Entertain Young Folks at Rink. Miss Frances Douglas and Master Robert Gilbert entertained a party of! their young friends at a skating party at the roller rink Thursday evening, it being their fourteenth and thir- teenth natal days, respectively. The following were the invited guests: Misses Vona Clauss, Helen Marr, Buella Nisbett, Emily Powers, Marie Farrell, Catherine Beckfelt, Bessie Finnerty, Margaret O'Connell, Bella Rasmussen, Helen Gilbert, Winnie Myers, Mildren Marden, Francie Win- sor, Mildred Shippman, Ruby Halver- sen, Ethel Kremer, Dorothy Kribbs, and Masters Sylvester Strain, David Kribbs, Wayne Gilbert, Ray Beckfelt, Wallace and Walter Aiken, Douglass Price, John Remer, Pohn Benton, J R. Senate, John Costello, Alonzo Powers, James Kribbs and Eddie Far-| rell, A delightful time was had by) all, after which the young folks re- paired to the Gilbert home and en- joyed light refreshments. Purchases Some Fine Horses. While on a recent visit to Long} Prairie, John Costello combined busi- ness. with pleasure by purchasing two teams of horses to be used in con- nection with his bottling works. One is a beautiful dapple grey and will weighing about 1,450 pounds each, while the other is a team of blacks, weighing 1,000 pounds each which will be used for driving. Mr. Costel- lo’s business has grown to such an extent that he has trouble in getting the orders delivered as fast as he would like, hence he has added @_ larger delivery equipment. | Infant Child Dies. Mary, the nine months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Martin of Deer River, died of cholera infantum at Hibbing Saturday, where Mr. and Mrs. Martin had been visiting rela- | tives.

The giant dirigible | UNIVERSITY GETS $60,000. Thomas H. Sheviin Offers Scholar Minneapolis.— Announcement was made at the meeting of the board of regents of the University that Thomas H. Shevlin offers a donation of $60,000 to the university. The offer was ac- cepted with thanks and enthusiasm. Of the donation $50,000 is to be de- voted to five scholarships, invested and the interest used to help students, The board expressed itself as con- fident that the five portions could be So invested that the interest on each, would be sufficient to pay the ex Penses of one student. No Sex Discrimination. Mr. Shevlin specifies that in select- ing students for the scholarship there shall be no bias or discrimination as to sex. The additional $10,000 is to be used to enlarge the dining room of Alice Shevlin hall. Minor conditions were made and Mr. Shevlin is to be consulted on some particulars. Francis C. Shenehon was appointed dean of the college of engineering, to take the place of Dean Frederick S. balloon America, in which Mr. Well- man and his party of three set out! upon their perilous flight, met with a! mishap after it had proceeded about’ 32 miles from the starting point. | It was 10 o’clock in the morning when the airship was brought out of} its shed and the explorers took their | places in the car. When the anchors were cast loose the airship ascended! beautifully, the engines were set in, motion and everything seemed to_ was maneuvered for some time and| Then, its head was turned to the northward and it set out at a speed of 25 miles an hour. Suddenly, after having covered some} 32 miles and when everything seemed to be going splendidly, the leather) 000 pounds of provisions and stores, | broke away. The accident occurred; just as the airship was nearing the pack ice of north Spitzbergen. Released from this great weight, the airship shot upward at a terrific pace until it was at a great height above the clouds. The pilots succeeded, however, in bringing her down near the earth, turned her about and set out to fight their way southward a- gainst a strong wind. The airship proceeded slowly southward to the edge of the pack ice, where the steam: er Fram was anchored. After much difficulty a towrope was gotten aboard the Fram, which start: ed immediately to tow the airship ta Spitzbergen. The strain was so great, however, that it threatened to tear the car, to which the rope was attach. ed, to pieces, and Mr. Wellman final ly decided to bring the airship down to the surface of the water. This was effected without mishap | and the car rested on the surface of; the water until all the members of the crew, the dogs and the scientific in- struments could be transferred aboard | the Fram. A fresh start was then | made and the America was towed] back to the landing stage and within} a short distance of where the start) was made. S But the ill luck of the expedition | was not yet at an end. Just as the airship had reached the landing stage | and everything looked favorable for its rescue without serious damage, 3) inflated bag broad-side-on and snatch: ; ed it away from its towlines. It was carried, careening, over rough ice hummocks for some distance and then it exploded. All the scattered parts of the airship were subsequently recovered, but the damage was so great as to preclude any further at tempt to fly over the pole this year. Wellman Says He Will Try Again. Camp Wellman, Spitzbergen, Aug. 16, via Hammerfest, Aug. 23.—Walter ; Wellman made the following state ment with regard to his unsuccessful attempt to sail for the North pole: “The America demonstrated her strength, speed and adaptability to this work. In returning to Spitzber- gen we made a mistake in not placing enough confidence in our own ship and engines. Had we not through over. caution given the tow line to the Fram I believe we could have landed the America safe in her house. For some time it was my intention to attempt this and we made eight miles an hour against the wind toward the camp. “At last the motor worked uncer: tainly because equilibrium of the ship | had been upset and thus deranged the gasoline supply. The descent to the surface of the ocean was not acciden- tal, but deliberate in order to insure} the saving of the instruments and other valuables. “I do not give up the fight, but hope | to reconstruct the America, enlarged and improved, and try again, taking advantage of all our somewhat varied and extensive experience. My confi dence in the practicability of the pro out the voyage, even in the most try: ing moments im the clouds and-in the seas, my three comrades proved cool headed and efficient. My thanks to them and to the equally brave officers and sailors of the Norwegian ship Fram.” Food Convention at Denver Expected to be Arena. Denver, Aug. 23.—Secretary of Agri- culture James Wilson and Dr. Harvey Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis- try, will be in Denver to attend the annual convention of food commis- sioners. As a result, it is expected that another controversy between fed- Jones. Professor Shenehon has been in charge of the Great Lakes survey for the war department, with head- quarters in Washington. He was graduated from the engineering col- lege of the University of Minnesota, in 1895. Committee on New Dean. E. G. Quigley was elected assistant | professor of the college of education. | His subject will be “The Theory of | Teaching.” Professor John W. Olsen, dean of the college of agriculture, re- signed, his resignation to take effect whenever the board of regents find another man for the place. A com- mittee was appointed to find the man. | Former Governor John Lind made a short address in connection with the Shevlin gift in which he said that the purpose for which it is given is note- worthy, and the most promising oc- currence which the university has ex- verienced in veara. OLSEN WILL REMAIN. Resignation of Dean Will Be Refused by Regents. St. Paul—tThe resignation of J. W. ‘Olsen as dean of the state school of | agriculture, which he tendered to the |regents a few days after he was elect- }ed last December, will come up for final action at the meeting of the regents this week, but members of the board say that it will not be ac- cepted. Mr. Olsen was elected by a divided yote in the board, and there was con- siderable criticism at the time. He then announced his resignation, but made it to take effect Aug. 1, so that the regents would have a few months to look for a successor and permit him to finish the school year. Have No One Else. But members of the board of regents state that no one hes been looking around for a successor. The criticism which was made of the selection at the time came to an end when Mr. Olsen announced his resignation, and by this time most of those who were finding fault then have forgotten the incident. No fault was found with him personally, but the criticism was that it was a politi- cal appointment, and that Olsen’s | training was general, and he was not Winona.—Anna Dingfelder, a young girl only 14 years of age, is guilty of the crime of arson, having confess- ed to starting several of the small fires here the past week. She has al- so been found to have committed sev- eral petty thefts, and it is believed at least one of the fires was started te destroy evidence of theft. Grand Rapids Bakery. J. A. Amberg has again assumed charge of the Grand Rapids bakery, a fact that will be learned with pleasure by patrons of the place. Mr.! Amberg is a first-class baker, and un- der his management the store was always neat and clean and patrons were sure to be served with the best of everything in his line. The same | condition will prevail as under h‘- former management, and the public is cordially invited to call. ATTACK FIRE LAWS. Roads Will Test Le~ility of Precau- tlonary Rules. St. Paul—tThe railroads of Minne- ‘gota will fight the forest fire law en- acted by the last legislature, and will make an effort to have the state su- preme court declare the law, or parts of it, unconstitutional. The law re- quires them to have a patrol on every mile of their line through wooded dis- tricts during dry seasons, requires ; them to burn or remove combustible material from their rights of way, and contains various other regulations in- tended to prevent the setting of fires by locomotives. Several of the northern roads have been fined recently through prosecu- tions started by Forestry Commis- stoner C. C. Andrews. Last Friday the Canadian Northern railroad was fined $60 by Justice Waag, of Roseau, for not having its right of way clear of combustible material. The road gave notice of appeal. The other roads in the northern part of the state have been fined sev- eral times during the summer for fail- ing to have patrols on their lines through the forest country, for failing to have spark arresters, and for other infractions of the law. All of them have refused, however, to pay the fines, and have given notice of ap- peal. One case is pending at Brainerd against the Northern Pacific for fail- ure to have the required patrols. The hearing in the municipal court last Friday was continued until next Fri- | day. 5 BANDITS LOOT A BANK. Safe at Karlstad, Minn., Blown and Robbed of $1,500 In Cash. Hallock.—The First State Bank of Karlstad, a little town of that name in Kittson county, was broken into by bandits. The safe was blown open and rob bed of $1,500 in cash. The noise of the explosion aroused the town and the officers at the coum ty seat were notified of the raid. The cracksmen were by this time in full flight. OLD MAN BITTEN BY DOG.
