No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken both Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would. mmmuamm oo e oo oo e o e o e o feode o o o oo o ol ol oo o o oo ol C.

Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR The New Year. The old year is done. Its fail- ures and successes can profit us no more except as lessons, Itis to the year about to begin ‘that we must look. For Bemidji and Beltrami county the new year holds forth promises of a steady healthy growth. There is every evidence that Bemidji has afuture equalled by few towns in Minne- sota and by none in the northern part of the state. The New Year will do its part in the settlement and d.evelopment of the territory tributary to this city there being many indications, now that we have done with elections, that the year will be one of better busi- ness than has the past, if not than the past several years. Butitis not to be forgotten that the future of Bemidji and Beltrami county depends largely upon the efforts of its own citizens. This being the case we can await the devel- opments of the year with abso- lute confidence, Peculiar Methods. The Pioneer has stood for the reelection of Senator Clapp for the reason that the people of the state have upon two different oc- casions by their representatives and upon at least one occasion by their direct votes declared that they wish him to represent them in the United States senate. A powerful lobby has been formed in the twin cities, how- ever, to defeat Senator Clapp and to replace him by some man more agreeable to the powerful cor- porations of those cities. Backed by no public sentiment whatever but supplied with ample funds these interests have conducted a peculiar campaign against the junior senator. It now appaars that they have totally failed and that Senator Clapp will be nomi- nated as his own successor at the caucus o be held January 8 and reelected for the term of six years at the joint session Janu- ary 17, But it is just as well that the people of Minnesota generally should know something of the methods employed by Minneapo- lisin this contest, Their first step was taken immediately after election in November. Minne- neapolis was raked with a fine tooth comb for mén of influence and acquaintance with the coun- try members of the legislature. A small army of them-was got to- gether and sent east, north, south and west, to every part of the state, each to the man or men with whom he had personal ac- quaintance and this is the man- ner of the conversation that took place: “There is going to beg,a big fight on the senatorial matter. Perhaps you do not know it but Clapp is going to have the time of his life to secure reelection. I have no interest in this matter but simply for old time sake thought I would give you a tip. Keep your mouth shut. You are a Clapp man, I understand, and that is alright, but keep still about it, There is going to be the biggest.bunch of money ever offered in any election fight in this state and you are a fool if you don’t get a piece.of it. All you have to do is to keep still and after a while the Clapp men will be.glad to pay you well to speak up; or if you decide that you do not want to be with Clapp there is all kinds of money to be had from thet opposition.” § Treeesesertettsttserees SOOI OSSOSO S<Y| Thisisa sample of the kind of TO THE PUBLIC: We would indeed appear ungrate- ful did we allow this opportunity to pass without expressing our thanks for the many favors shown us during the year 1904.

Wine of Cardui recommends itself to modest women of moderate means, because it can be taken in the privacy of the home without sub- mitting to a humiliating local examination and subsequent dangereus treatment. If you are a victim of female weakness in any form Wine of Cardui is the medicine that you should take and you cannot afford to lose any time in starting the treat- ment. Your trouble is ever growing worse—never better. Wine of Cardui never fails to benefit even chronic troubles of the most serious nature, and in nine out of ten cases it brings an absolute cure.

Sometimes it was said bluntly; other times it was barely insinuated; but every time the meaning was perfectly plain. The object and the only hope of the small but formidable oppo sition to Clapp ‘was to prevent the legislators from saying that they were for Clapp. As when they offered members to the leg- islature from Ramsey county $1000 apiece to declare against Clapp, they did not try to buy votes. They simply tried, with alluring promises of money, to shut the mouth of every man who was for Clapp. The scheme succeeded only in a very limited measure. As rapidly as opportunity offered the members of the legislature have declared for the reelection of the junior senator. Desperate efforts were made this week to prevent an early caucus of the legislators. An early caucus was called a ‘“damnable scheme”, a “‘sharp trick”, “taking an unfair advantage’, etc. Why? Isn’tit right for the legislature to cau- cus whenever they please? Isn’t it better for the state that the matter should be settled as soon as possible? The opposition to Senator Clapp certainly richly deserves the ig: nominious failure which is ap- parently about to overwhelm it.
