ITASCA’S DISPLAY AT STATE FAIR Officials of Association Say That County Aid is Not Enough for the Purpose. The county commissioners at their last meeting appropriated the sum of §3800 to aid in defray- ing the expenses of the Itasca county display at the state fair. The commissioners evidently thought that this would answer the purpose, buf those having the ex- hibit in charge claim that if will by no means cover the expenses. President Anderson of the agricul- tural society says that in order to make a showing worthy of Itasca county’s importance as a farming community more money will have to be forthcoming, and this is also the opinion of Secretary Buell. {he latter has now several men employed in selecting grass speci- mens for the display, and as other products mature it‘is his intention to keep a look out for the best in order that the county may show to the greatest advantage. It -is also Mr. Buell’s desire to place aman in charge of securing the different products for the display at the state gathering, and all this will take more money than is now available. Wheelock-Campbell. At high nnoon today the mar- riage of Miss Lydia Wheelock to Mr. William Campbell will be sol- emnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Thwing. Rev. Mr. Suth- erland of the Presbyterian church $ will perform the ceremony. The bride is a sister of Mrs. Thwing, and has a wide acquaintance in Grand Rapids, having formerly been a teacher in the public schools here. The groom is a prominent attor- ney in Chicago, where Mr. and Mrs. Campbell will make their home. They will leave on the afternoon train for Madison, Wis., for a short visit before going to Chicago. An Unfounded Rumor. The story has gained circulation that George R. Comer, of the Gem theatre, has decided to leave Grand Rapids. This rumor is without foundation. Mr. Comer has no idea of leaving. He has been nego- tiating for the management of a house in a neighboring town, but should the deal be closed it would in no manner interfere with his management of the Gem. Mr. Comer has remained here during the quiet times and now that bright prospects are apparent he has no thought of leaving. Pure Food Demonstration.

Mr. Laimbeer, who was Miss Nathalie Schenck, a fa- mous beauty of Newport and New York, is in a critical condition, but it ig believed she will recover. FAILS TO APPEAR Advance Man for Concern Pays in Checks Which Prove No Good. H. J. Davis, advance man for the Glorey Carnival Company, a smooth spoken gentleman of prepossessing appearance, is wanted by a number of business men who are smarting uncer the sting of having been “taken in.’ Mr. Davis made all the arrangements for the coming of his show, securing the lumber for posting the advertising matter, made arrangements for hotel ac- commodations for the performers, ordered printing supplies, etc. He was a cash customer, paying in checks issued in his favor, payable at a Chicago bank and signed by A.. E. Hoyt, secretary-treasurer, and Sam Glorey, president. The idea seems to have been to pay all expenses with these checks, which somehow, were always drawn for a larger sum than the amount of the bill, Davis receiving the differ- ence in cash. The checks were turmed in to the local banks and came back marked “no funds.” The exact amount of this worthless paper put in circulation by the car- nival company’s enterprising press agent is in all probability not yet in evidence, the total thus far be- ing in the neighborhood of $50. An effort will be made to locate him in order to teach him the errors oi nig ways. Sunshine Luncheon Free. (Do you know Rollins? Cer- tainly.

Gilbert Passes Away at Her Wis- consin Home. Mr. W. C. Gilbert returned from rWausau, Wis., Sunday, where he had been called by the death of his mother. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert were at Wausau about a month ago to see their mother who was _ then low. The following is from the Wausau Daily Herald of August 1: “Mrs. J. R. Bruneau, who has been seriously ill for some time, died at an early hour this morn- ing at the home at 503 Grant street Mrs. Bruneau was considered very il about a month ago, but rallied, and her death at this time was un- expected. “Mrs. Bruneau was born at Aber- deen, Scotland, Jan. 14, 1829, and was therefore more than eighty- four years of age. She was twice married, first to William Gilbert, who came to this country from Scotland in the early fifties and to Mosinee in 1860, and by whom she had three children, all of whom survive; Charles S. Gilbert and Mrs. Helen Van Vechten of this city and William C. Gilbert of Grand Rapids Minnesota. “Mr. Gilbert died in 1870 and some years later she married J. R. Bruneau, who lived at Mosinee a number of years and who served four years as county treasurer, from 41879 to 1887. “Mrs.. Bruneau was one of the most highly esteemed women in |Marathon county. Coming here when the country was new, she has seen it grow and develop, and has done her share to bring about its present conditions. She was of a very kindly disposition and until the infirmities of age over- took her, was widely known for her generous, unselfish and un- assuming manner in helping her friends and others who called upon her.” PICNIC COMMITTEE MAKES ITS REPORT Band and Clerks Have a Surplus of $21.75 When All Expenses are Paid.
