Joseph J. Brummer, who
has been a resident of Onamia
for over avca past, moved his
family and household goods to
Pier/, on Mondav last where
Mr. Brummer will henceforth
make his home. During his
stay hereMr.Brummer served
on the village council, being
one of the first council elected
and was re-elected at the last
spring election. Until recently he was engaged in the shoe
store business, which he sold
out to W. S. Gish. Mr. Brtirn-
ni r was an efficient public
official and a good citizen and
we are sorry to have him leave
us. We wish him and his!
family success in their Pierz
home.    Lake Breeze.
weeks ago has been taken to
Minneapolis for the Pasteur
treatment.
A   little  information   as   to
the  proper course to pursue
when a person is bitten bv a
dog   thought   to   be  infected
with rabies may be of value in
saving human   life, and   these
same rules should be followed
whether the dog shows signs
of rabies or not.   First, do not
kill the dog unless he is running at large and you can stop
him  in no other   way, but tie
him  up and watch   for d<
opments   of   the  desease.     If
within ten days no signsof hydrophobia develops,    the person or animal  which, has been
bitten by him is perfectly safe
from   the  desease.    If,    however, the animal  shows signs
of   rabies   the  person    bitten
should be taken without delay
to  the  Pasteur  institute  for
treatment and the dog should
also be   sent there  alive,   because  there are two  distinct
forms  of  the  desease  which
require    different    treatment
and by noting the symtoms in
the dog  the doctors   are enabled   to   pursue   the   proper
course   ot   treatment  of   the
patient.

SIMON BRICK A HERO
It isn't very often that the
common pcoplehave an opportunity to shake hands with a
real live hero but such was
our privilege on Monday last,
when Simon Brick, our genial
and efficient clerk of court
was receiving congratulations
and well deserved praise for a
recent achievement, which for
daring and coolness and presence of mind in extreme danger,has Teddy Roosevelt's escapades with lions and hippopotami in Africa skinned to a
frazzle. Here is the Herald's
version of it:
"Siu:on P. Brick, one of the charter
members of the Rock and Peavy Lake
Hunting and Fishing uompan) is the
proud possessor of a mounted wi
a trophy of the chas.', which he now
displays in the clerk of court office
will iya that he
bagged the animal while out on an
expedition with the company in the
jungles of Peavy lake. The animal
was about to spring upon him when,
with his quick eye and true aim, he
brought the feline down with a si
shot through the heart. For the
bravery a ice of mind displayed
his ts had the animal stuffed
and mail it of it to   their val-
Mel YVertnerskirchen, John
Gross, and Peter Gau, who, it
will be remembered, initiated
Mr. Brick into the secrets of
the above named society a few
weeks age? at Rock lake, say

that thev will i e relieved of
the arduous task of manufac-
turidg "fish stories."

SOO BRINGS SUIT
AGAINST N. P.
Terminal Work at Duluth
Stopped.
Minneapolis Jour:;
The Soo line has isstitd orders suspending all work on
terminal improvements at the
head of the lakes, including
the new $100,000 passenger
station in Duluth, pending the
outcome of a suit that began
Julv 31, before Judge Page
Morris ia the federal court at
Du!uth.
The suit promises to be of
wide interest iti the railroad
world, as it relates to the ri-
valrv' of differ, nt rsi:
systems in the Duluth-Su
ior field, entry to which, bv
reason of  the   topography

The new Soo line construction strikes straight in
Duluth, going acrossConner's
point from Superior, reac
the Dulutii side in the neighborhood of Fifteenth avenue
and near the Great Northern
trestle. The Soo pn p >ses to
bring the Chicago division, Or
Wt-consin Central trains into
Duluth that way, therebv saving the roundabout run of four
miles across Grassv point.
The Soo applied to the
Northern Pacific ior acontract
bv which the Northern Pac flc
tracks, within Duluth and near
Fifth avenue, might becrossed
at grade. The Northern Pacific refused to grant the right.
She Soo then began the suit
before   Judge to com-
the N. P. to grant it.
The Soo enters its Duluth-
Superior terminals by rt line
along Superior harbor that is
very direct and without serious interference, until it
strikes the Northern Pacific
tracks.

With the issue No. 20, Vol,
23 the Morrison County Democrat of Little Falls ceased to
exist, as the paper and material etc. were sold to the Herald Printing Co last week.
Whether the "skiddo" number "23" had anv thing to do
with its decease we do not
know. According to the valid ctory statement of the pro*
pnetors, Hoblit and Krnchal,
the revenue from the paper
was not large enough to warrant them in the continuation
of its publication, bo far as
we have been able to judge
from the few copies-that
come to our exchange table
the paper was a creditable one
and we will miss it.
