QThe greatest tonic on earth is a good night'srest, Restless nights and the ter- rible exhaustion of a hacking cough are dread dangers of the poor consumptive.

DOCTORS GOOD Delicate Operations Performed In City are Tribute to Medi- cal Profession. That the medical profession is well represented in Bemidji is a well known fact, but it has not been generally known to the people of the city that some cases of sickness are cured in Bemidji which the most eminent specialists have tried to treat successfully and failed. A rve- markable instance of this kind was shovn about a month ago, when John Johnson, a resident of Mill Park, was operated upon at St. Anthony’s hospital for strangulated hernia by Dr. Hen- derson. While the operation was in progress it was found that gangrene had set in in the bowels and it was necessary to remove eight inches of intestine. The patient withstood the operation although he is fifty-four years of age and at present is convales- cent at the hospital. § THE CHURCHES | Service will be hetd tomorrow night in the Norwegian Lutheran church on Minnesota avenue.

The patrons of the city water works will be glad to learn that this morning the connections to the new city wells were com- pleted and the pump was started drawing water from the six welis which were finished last week. The water is said to be véry good, but on account of the large amount of poor water with which it has been necessary to supply the city during the time the new wells were being dug, little dif- ference in the quality of water can be noticed as yet. However, Superintendent Pogue says that as soon as possible the mains will be flusl:ied and from that time forth Bemidji will be blessed with an unlimited supply of the finest water in the land. Tips of the Tongue A. H. Harris:, “Bemidji should by all means establish a market {day, proyide a public square where the farmers may put their horses and display their pro- ducts and make special induce- ments on the given day to attract farmers to the city. We may not see great results at first but once the day is fairly established it will be very profitable to Be- midji and to the farmers alike. I think we should take the matter up at once.” Milo Hubbell, who lives eleven miles south of the city: ¢I hear you are agitating a market day in Bemidji. 1t would be a great thing for the farmersand I know that we would all do everything in our power to make such a day a success. Next to building good roads out of the city this is the | best thing that Bemidji could do for the farmers.” W. A. Gould: “We are send- ing a large number of men up the north line at present and can make place for many more. The Crookston Lumber company will operate six or seven large camps in the vicinity of Kelliher this winter and will employ between five and six hondred men.” Thos. White, - Grand Forks: “Bemidji is the best place I've struck yet, with of course the possible exception of my home I have passed through here several times but never be- fore stopped off here, Hereafter :when I come down this way Be- midji will be my headquarters.” David Gill: “That bargain day idea is the best thing yet and I Mr. Nolan leave tonight for the|think it would bea good idea to Big Fork to look up a location for a location for a camp which they will use during the hunting sea- son.

Denver, Nov. 6—A speclal to the Rocky Mountain News from Prescott, Ariz., says: A Attorney General Wells of Arizona has received a private letter from Phoenix stating that Governor Brodie bas quietly left there for Clifton and Morenci under orders from President Roosevelt to gather up the forty or- glmns recently taken away from the isters of Mercy and to prepare at once to return them to New York. Since the sisters were forced a few weeks ago to give up the children to Clifton and Morenci white people they have taken the matter before the pres- ident. They allege that a majority of the forty orphans are now in the cus- tody of disreputable people, some be- Ing keepers of grog shops and bawdy houses. The letter received by Attorney Gen- eral Wells is the first authentic infor- mation bearing on the movements of Governor Bradie, who left Phoenix without making his purpose known. The forty orphans were brought from New York to be placed with Mex- ican families. They were taken by force from the Mexicans by whites, the latter threatening to lynch an agent of the sisters. The governor is said to fear trouble when he tries to take the children and has instructed Captain Rynding of the Arizona Ran- gers at Douglas, to be ready to quell any disturbance that may arise. DR. DECOSTA DEAD. Prominent Episcopalian Recently Con- verted to Catholicism. New York, Nov. 5.—Rev. Dr. Ben- jamin F. Decosta, the Episcopal clergy- man who about flve years ago became a convert to the Roman Catholic church and a year ago was ordained a priest, died during the day in St. Vin- cent’s hospital. He was seventy-four years of age and had been in poor health for more than a year. Before entering the Roman Catholic church Dr. Decosta was for thirty- eight years pastor of St. John's Protes- tant Episcopal church, holding a promi- nent place in the religious life of this city. He took an active part in the controversy over the admission of Dr. Briggs to the Episcopal ministry and soon afterwards he resigned from the Episcopal church and became a mem- ber of the Roman Catholic church. Last fall, while in Rome, he was or- dained a deacon and on Nov. 29 last was ordained a priest. He returned to this city to engage in parish work, but his health failed. Dr. Decosta served through the Civil war as chap- lain of the Fifth and Eighteenth Mas- sachusetts infantry regiments. Troops Called Out to Quell Student = Rioting. Innisbruck, Austria, Nov. 5.—The rioting of the students at the univer- sity here became so serious during the night that troops, with fixed bayonets, marched into the midst of the German demonstrators.
