The spirit of reform is abroad in Bovey and the viuage authorites are in weasue wiih Sheriff Riley to do a. he swore he would do wnea he took the oath of office he promised the PeOwic UL tama LOLuLy Buu cle Door pie of the svate of Minnesota that he would do his duty as directed by the laws of this sovereign state. There nad been violations of the laws relating to the liquor traffic in the part within his jurisdiction and he notified ail dealers tua uy would not be permitted to do busi-| ness unless they conform to the specified requ.rements of the s.aiutes | and in this be meant just what he said. The first results in this, coun- ty are recorded in full as follows by) the Bovey Iron News. ‘Three uvior uce.ses are inopera- tive today. They ure those of Jno. Barret, Radackovitch & Plecash aod wi. Kouwsimses. On Friday evening there was a @pecial sess.on of the village coun- cil. For the first time im mcoatas, the council] room was packed.

The place was closed b) the officer and tne drinkers maw. their exit. In defense Mr. Barret. claimed that his barkeeper vies. ws ordeas in alowlng the men 1 the place. ‘As an employer is re- sponsible for the acts of his ‘creit as reiates to state law rules ana regulations, Mr. Barrett’s i: ‘ep revOned and the piace orderca closed. nutner of a queer proposition .oomed up in the case of the Kad. sovitech and Plecash saicon, Her. was a place with no proprictors i_ aght for monchs, and a barkeepe: who could not talk English, left 1. charge and doing business any oh way.

Lhis licease was revoked and the place was ordered closed. ‘The case of M. Kominski was different. This time it was paint and varnish which caused him his trouble. A painter was going over the fixtures of the bar, and* wheu the officer appeared there was beer on the bar instead of shellac and brush. Y tus license was revoked and the piace ordered clesed. The council men were assisted in their deliberations by Atty. E.

[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 socond anai.e.sar, of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, than whom no grea.er or mere fam- ous man has ever been produced by this or aw) OLLer winu,. RisiDs 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.uc- gles should prove an incentive to every poor bey in this great land and the nobility of his character should be a pattern which every boy who hopes’ and expects to be- come great should emulate. 3 Lincoln’s address at the dedication of GeitysLurg cenetery on Novem ber 19, 1863, is considered one of the greatest masterji«es of Hnglish literature and we reproduce it for the benefit of the riging generation of patr.otic Americans. It follows: “Forescore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent anew 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.on so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. LINCOLN, We are met on a great battlefield o. the war. We have come to dedicate @ periion of that field as a final res ing place tor those 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 noi dedicate, we cannot consccrate, Ww. can not hallow this ground. The #rave mel ving and €ecd whe sirtg- gled here, have consecrated it for above our power to add or detract. The world w-ll little nete, 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 fought herc fave thus far so nobly advanced. li is razher for us to be here dedicatec to the-great task remaining before u that from these honored dead we take increased cevotion to that caus for Which ihey &.ve t_elks. fulnes 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 otf freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, and fc the people, shall not perish from th earth.” MONTHLY MEET OF COMMISSIONERS County Board Transacts Official 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.derabie uuportance were cons.derca at some length and much rouune bus.ness traosacted. The official jour.al of Auditor Spang will appear in the next issue of the Herald-Keview. County atch 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 benefits 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. 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 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 ealled 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 che 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 plaiu- 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 soid 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 o $1,100. was given the plaintiff. Thi case 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 joodland. The plaintiff owned fort. scres and claimed damages to th untire 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 entered the place on 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 n0 complaints of loss of valua bles have been reported it is presum- ed that nothing of value was avail- able. LIGHT CLASSIC Se 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: Charles U., Dr. F. R. Harrison. Don Jose de Santarem, Chas Kear- ney. Don Caesar de Bazan, G. R. Comer Marquis de Rotundo, Will O’Don- nell. Judge, incognite. Lazarillo, Frank LaMere. Captian of ‘he.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 wineshop 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 aud’ence will ful ly enjoy it from start to finish. Mr. Comer has had cons‘derable ex periénce in Shakespearean dramas and there is no doubt it will be a finished production. The play will be elaborately costun ed and arrangements have been mad« “o secure the necess*ry naranhonal’s from the Smith Costuming Co., of Minneapolis.
