A painter was going over the fixtures cf the bar, and~ wheu the officer appeared there was beer on the bar instead of shellac and brush. tus license was revcked and the piace ordered clcsed.

[02ND ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN ABRAHAM ‘On February 12, there will be ob- served all over the United States the one hundred and sscond anai.e.sar, of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, than whom no grea.er or more fam- ous man has ever been produced by this or as) olLer Wwinuy,. Ris.Ds from the obscurity of poverty to oc- eupy the highest cffice in the gift of the people of this great United States, the history of h's carly s.iuc- gles should picve an incentive te every poor bey in this great land and the nobility of his character should be a pattern whi every boy who hopes and expects to be- come great should emulate. Lincoln’s address at the dedication of GeitysLurg cenetery on Novem ber 19, 1863, is considered one of the greatest masterjieces of Hnglish literature and we reproduce it for the benefit of the rising generation Of patr.otic AMerians. It follows: “Forescore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, coaceived in liberty, and dedicated to the pro position that all men are createc equal. Now we ure engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nat.oo so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. LINCOLN, We are met on a great battlefield o: the war. We have come to dedicate & poriion of that field as a final res ing place tor these who have gav: their lives that their nation mighi live. It is altogether fitting and prop er that we should do this. “But in a larger sense we can no dedicate, we cannot consecrate, wi. can not hallow this ground. The #rave mel] ving and ceed whe sirtg- gled here, have consecrated it for above our power to add or detract. The world w-ll little ncte, nor lon: remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here ‘It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinishe. ‘work which they who feught herc gave thus far so nobly advanced. Ii is rather for us to be here dedicatec to tie great task remaining before u that from these honored dead we take increased cevotion to that caus for Which they g.ve te les. fulne s ure @f devotion—that we here high], resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that.this Natio: under God, shall have a new birth ot freedom—and that government of the pecple, by the people, and fc the people, shall not perish from th earth.” MONTHLY MEET OF COMMISSIONERS Business and Considers Many Matters All members of the board of coun- ty cOMmnsoLeis were present at the resuar monthly meeting held at the court house yesterday. Mauters of cons.derapie uuportance were cons.derea at some length and much rouune bus.ness itraosacted. The official jour.al of Auditor Spang will appear in the next issue of the Herald-Keview. County aitch No. 2, running from Blackberry lake to the Miss s.ippi river, was ordered surveyed by Sur- veyor John A. Brown. L. W. Hunt- ley, Olaf Lind and F. A. Johnson were appointed viewers to appraise the benefiis and damages to the land through which the ditch will be dug. ‘The rearrangement of the interior of the court house was decided upon and Architect D. V. Case of Duluth was awarded a contract to furnish plans and specifications to be sub- mitted at the next meeting of the board. The crowded condition of the offices is such at present that ad- ditional room is imperative, and it will be necessary to fit up the basement for use by the register of deeds. The contemplated changes will cost about $15,000. Final settlement was made.with the jail contractors and the building ‘ac- cepted. Itasca county now has the largest jail in the state outside of Ramsey and Hennepin counties. Agricultural Society Meeting The Itasca county agricultural as- sociation will hold its anntal meet- ing and election of officers at the court rooms at the court house next Thursday afternoon, February 14, at 2:30 o’clock. Matters of importance -o every farmer in the county will.be discussed and everybody should at- cend. CASES TRIED IN DISTRICT COURT County Board Transacts Official Civil Matters Being Disposed of Before Judge B. F. Wright. During the past few days there have been no cases of great impor- tance tried in district court. Judge wrght’s time wul probavly be ov- cupied during the next five or six days clearin, up the civil calendar so tar as possible. The case of John Bosley vs. the Yauucy, charged With shortage in his accounts as recorder of the village of Grand Rapids, will probably be called some time the latter part o1 next week. It is expected that much time will be consumed in securing a jury, owing to tne extensive acquain: tance of the defendant and also the wide publicity given the case through the local press. The case of oJhn Bosely vs. the First State bank of Grand Rapids and L. M. Bolter was concluded last Friday. The jury found for the plaiw tiffin the amount claimed, $622, which included interest. This lita gation grew out of the sale of logs by Bosely to John Lefevre, who in turn scid them to the First Stat. bank. Bosely had never been paid for his logs. Before the case was concluded Mr. Bolter was released as One of the defendants and the judgment secured is against the bank, An appeal may be taken to the su- preme court. . Lawver vs. the Great North- ern Railway company was again tried and a verdict in the sum 0 $1,100 was given the plaintiff. Thi ease has been before the courts fo, aine years, having been twice taken to the supreme court. The suit was originally brought to recover damag from the railrcad company for th use of three acres of land for righ of-way purposes near the village of yoodland. The plaintiff owned fort. acres and claimed damages to th tire tract by reason of the railroa: crossing it. It is said that another appeal will be taken. Baldwin, Bald- win & Dancer, of Duluth, appeared for the Great Northern and J. W. Reynolds of Duluth and Thwing & Rossman of Grand Rapids repre- sented the plaintiff. A verdict for $100 was awarded John Swanland against John Lyons as principal and George Lydick and J..W. Johnson as sureties on a liquor bond. Lyons conducted a sal- oon at Baliclub and the plaintiff al- leged that he emiered the place on Sunday and was maltreated and rob- | bed by three men, half-breeds- named Tibbetts. Suit was brought to re- cover in the sum of $2,000. G. Spear was attorney for the plaintiff and Fred W. Smith of Cass, Lake repre sented the defendant. Several minor cases were settled out of court by stipulation. This afternoon the case of Inscho vs. Falsted is on trial. This is an appeal from Justice court at Deer River and involves a claim of $60. STOLEN MAIL BAG Is.FOUND BY BOYS Mail Pouch Lost on July 29 Last __at Grand Rapids Station Is Fourd Near Court House The mail pouch which arrived for Grand Rapids on the 2:30 a. m. train July 29, 1910, disappeared from the station platform and its whereabouts remained a mystery until Monday of this week, when it was accidently found by boys who were coasting on the embankment on the west of the court house. The f.nd was reported to Postmaster McVicar,who in turn reported to the inspector at Duluth. The pouch had been cut open and all letters and packages removed The east bound mail on the early morning train is usually very light and as no complaints of loss of valua bles have been reported it is presum- ed that nothing of value was avail- able. LIGHT CLASSIC a TO BE STAGED Cast of Characters Announced and “Don Caesar de Bazan” Will Be Produced March 17. The light classic comedy, “Don Caesar de Bazan,” which will be staged on St. Patrick’s day, March 17, under the direction of G. R. Comer, for the benefit of the St. Joseph’s parish building fund, is a play literally overflowing with wit and humor and yet it has its more serious side. Following is the cast of characters that has been selected oy Mr. Comer: Charlies U., Dr. F. R. Harrison. Don Jose de Santarem, Chas Kear- ney. Don Caesar de Bazan, G. R. Comer Marquis de Rotundo, Willi O’Don- nell. Judge, incognite. Lazarillo, Frank LaMere. Captian of the.guard, G. W. .Biasing. First Cavalier, Webster Tyndall. Second Cavalier, Mort Taylor. Maritana, Miss Ora Lothrop. Marchioness de Rotundo, Blanch Dewey. Lords, Ladies, Alguarzils, guards. Gypsies and Attendants. This play was originally taken fron the French and it scored instant suc- cess in both England and the United States. The Spanish nobleman, Don Caesar de Bazan, had stained his ermine and dragged his honor through the wineshep and the brothel, but he had never wholly lost himself and had not preverted his origiral nature. Very shortly you perceive the real nature of the man underneath— the nature stained, not spoiled, by reck- less dissipation—and it is therefcre of no surprise when, as the play pro- ceeds, the nobler elements of this nature asserts themselves and claim respect. The comedy thus brilliant'y vitalized, has a charm that is irresistible and the audence will ful ly enjoy it from start to finish. Mr. Comer has had cons‘derable ex perience in Shakespearean dramas and there is no doubt it will be a finished production. The play will be elaborately costur ed and arrangements have been mad« “o secure the necess?ry naranhonal’s from the Smith Costuming Co., of Minneapolis.
