A rich and rare musical treat is in store for the people of Grand Rapids when Tekla Farm-McKinnie and her husband, Bert McKinnie, will appear at the High school auditorium for the benefit of the library board, Mrs. McKinnie is no stranger to the peo- ple of Grand Rapids, she having ap- peared here before under the auspice of the library board. The price of ad mission is 25 and 50 cents and ticket and are-on sale at Itasca Mercantile store. The object of this concert is to provide money for the purchase of new books and those who purchase tickets will not only enjoy a musical treat, but will also reap benefits in the way of good reading, which will be purchased with the proceeds. The Ishpeming Daily Mining Journal of October 2, has the following in regar to their concert in that city: “Tt was the unanimous opinion of who attended the Farm- McKinnie concert Thursday evening the Ishpeming theatre, under auspices of Mrs. F, H. Raisky’s divi- sion of the Presbyterian church that t was by far the finest entertainment of its kind ever given in months.

A meeting of fhe Choral society was held at the high school auditorium Thursday evening and after looking over numerous cantatas, it was de- cided to put on Queen Esther, a can- tata taken from the book of Esther it the Holy Bible and one of the most beautiful ever staged, and although old, it never wears out. Scores have been sent for and as soon as they are received Madame Daix-Despret, the directress, will assign the different parts. The entry fee has been olwered fron $3.50 to $2.00 and there are now about thirty members in the club. Others have signified their intention to join and their are an unusually large number of good voices in the organization this year. It will re- quire about sixteen weeks drilling to put the cantata on in presentable shape, but when the date is announc- ed it will be a guarantee that each participant has his or her part in the best possible shape. Cattle Shipped From North. Carl A. Anderson of Northome is the owner of the car of beef cattle which was shipped thru Bemedji this morning to the South St. Paul stock yards. This car is one of the first of several similar prospective shipments that will be made from the north county in the near future. Mr. Ander- son owns the “Lakeside Farm,’near Northome where he is making a spec- alty of feeding cattle on his grass lands. There were twenty-one head in the car shipped this morning; and at Northome, yesterday, Mr. Anderson sold a pair of steers for $100. Mr. Anderson considers stock raising as being one of the pursuits which will result in large profits to the farmers of northern Minnesota and which will be generally followed in townships north of Bemedji— Bemedji Pioneer. A Tame Contest. The writer must have been “stung” when he took the word of several members of the Bemidji high school football team to the effect that they received much the worst of it from the referee at the game played in Grand Rapids last Saturday. The “kids”have written to Prof. Freeman of Grand Rapids that they were sat- song O Sweet, O Holy,” by Cantor. In thi number the full beauty of his voice was displayed.” SUCCESSFULLY RAISES APPLES David Rose, of Ardenhurst, Pro- bably Has Finest Display of Crab Apples In the State. There is no doubt that every farm- er in Itasca county, with few ex- ceptions, would like to improve their gardens with a few apple trees but every known variety has been tried, with discouraging results in general; the trees dying back above ground in spring, and after several unsuccess ful attempt the fruit raiser gives up the fight against nature. Dave Rose, of Ardenhurst, who pro- bably has the finest display of crab apples in the state, seems to have discovered a variety which bids fair to make him famous. The apples were raised from seedling near Deer River and Mr. Rose has named it Itasca No. 1 seedling. He has four tre n his garden grown from this seedling. They are from three and one-half to four and one-holf inches in diameter at the but and bore about seven bushels each this year and it was found necessary to support the branches with props, they were loaded down so heavily. On some of the small branches there were from isfied etc., after giving a “tale of woe” to our people that would bring tears to a mummy. And Henry Logan has been here and filed a remon- strance. We are now convinced that the game played at Grand Rapids was a pink tea affair and that the contest was played in evening dress despite the fact that Mayne Stanton is adorned with a black eye and the remainder of the team have divers and sundry bruises and absence of original cuticle. —Pioneer. Street Paving at Grand Rapids. The Pioneer “takes off its hat” literally speaking ,to the progressive citizens of Grand Rapids who are al- ways pulling together for the bene- fit of their town. Grand Rapids is the first town in north-central Minnesota to have begun paving its streets and soon the “Rapids” will have some fine routes of travel in its business district. Good for Grand Rapids which bids fair to lead all cities in the iron range district—Bemidji Pioneer. New Counterfeits In Circulation. A new counterfeit five dollar silver certificate has appeared. It bears the Indian head and is the series of 1899, has the signature of United States Treasurer Treat and Regis- ter Vernon and is described as “hav- ing check letter B, face-plate No. B 62.”. It is a well executed photo- graph production on two pieces of 75 to 100 apples and branching out from these were small twigs, each bearing from 25 to 30 apples. In color the apples are a fiery red blush with a yellow tinge, and very agreeable to the taste. The trees have been a source of wonder and delight to all who have seen them and strangers coming fror apple-feearing states declare they paper, between which a few pieces of silk have been distributed. The treasury number is “D 67061242.” Registry Fee Raised to 10c. Postmaster F. A. McVicar has re- velved acircular from the postoffice department at Washingtion which contains rulings to the effect that, beginning Nov. 1, fee for register- eclipse anything seen by them. Mr. Rose informs the Herald-Review that he will be delighted to show them to interested parties. To Our Customers Dating September 1, all -bills must be paid on the first of each month. If bills are not settled on the 10th of the month, following, credit will be refused. I am forced to take this step on account of lack of capital with which to carry on my business, unless these accounts are settled re- gularly. Yours truly, MATTHEW METZGER. ing letters will be raised from 8c to 10c; that is, in order to send a regis- tered letter it will be necessary for the sender to affix stamp or stamps the value of 10c as the registry fee and an additional 2c stamp for carry- ing the letter. Fairmonts Play Here Sunday. Manager O’Day, of the City foot- jball team, has made arrangements for the Fairmont team, of Duluth, to play here Sunday, October 17.

Section 178 of act of con- gress to codify, revise and. amend the penal laws of the United States, which becomes a law January 1, next, reads as follows: “No person shall make, issue or cir culate or pay out any note, check, memorandum, token or other obliga- tion for a sum less than one dollar, intended to circulate as money or to be received or used in lieu of lawful money of the United States; and every person so offending shall be fined not more than $500 or im- poisoned not more than six months, or bol Thelaw seems ridiculous to the average man who can see no reason why he is not as much entitled to pay a 90 cent bill with a check as he would one for $1.10. In commenting on the new law the Philadelphia Re- cord says: In all the history of fool legislation it would probably be impossible to find anything more grotesque than this. If felonies ought not to be created except under grave necessity, what shall be said of the idiocy of making a felony’ out of the exercise of a natural right which has been utilized time out mind and which is the business of no one except the per son who draws the check, his creditor who is willing to accept it, and the ‘bank that holds the deposit, and is willing to bother with small items? Finally the penalty is preposterous. Two-cent rate laws have been set a- side by the courts because the penalties provided were oppressive. What could be more oppresive than a fine of $500 and six months in jail for writing a check for 90 cents, es- pecially if it is quite out of the ques- tion to send 90 cents in money? QUA PAPER MILLS. (20 BE DOUBLED (Continued from first page) as soon as the additional buildings are completed and the machinery in- stalled, and employment will be given to several hundred men during the work of construction. Mr. Bossard, in answer to questions, said to the Herald-Review man yesterday after-' njon:) “We have not completed our plans for the new buildings. While we had plans drawn last spring we found’ they would have to be reconsidered! because of the lack of water power last summer. Those plans, if adopt- friends in town.

O’Brien’s These improvements contemplate the| Tuesday evening which was enjoyed pulp mill} py all. erection of a chemical which is an entirely new departure here. The chemical pulp we now use is all shipped in from the outside. The plans under consideration also include several other new buildings, including a big power house, with an installation of 2,500 horse power boiler capacity, and much electrical machinery, as all of our -machinery would be driven by electrical power. If) adopted as originally drawn, the plans would mean the expenditure, land included, of between $300,000 and $400,00. While those plans may be amended still we will make large and important additions to our plant at an early date if we can get the permission lot the village to use the portions of the several streets which we have asked for and which are absolutely necessary to the enlargement of the mills.” Now that the Commercial club has gone whole-hearted into the matter and is backing the petition to a man, the Herald-Review does not hesitate to predict that no stumbling block will be placed in the way of the paper company doubling its plant and add- ing materially to the permanent pop- ulation of this wide-awake and grow- ing town, which will shake off its village shackles in a few years more and be numbered among the thriving smaller cities of the state.
