The past year has been of solid prosperity and advancement for Bemidji and the great growing territory of which it is the busy center. Despite the fact that Bemidji has become a city of 4,000 people it is one of the youngest cities of the state. Itis hardly nine years old. Each year of thenine there have been many who have been certain that Bemidji had reached the high tide of its success and who were prepared to watch the ebb of its business. Each year they have been wonderfuily up- set in their predictions, and the year of 1904 has been the best for solid, permanent growth that Bemidji has experienced. There are evidences that the city is undergoing a change; conditions are not just what they used to be. Two or three years ago the busi- ness that flowed in and out Be- midji was the business of a mush- room town. The business that has come to Bemidji during 1904 has been the business that comes with the upbuilding of the coun- try; it is a business that is per- 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.

The heroism of his defenders, the valor of its besiegers is worthy of the immortalization of Troy. For eleven months the Jap- anese have laid siege to a fort- ress declared by military experts to be,barely short of impregnable. Fort by fort and mile by mile they have crept nearer and near- er to the heart of the citidel of which they were robbed after the Chinese war, Men and munitions they have poured out like water; of patience they have had no end. After the first few weeks there could be no doubt in any man’s mind that the Japanese would one day command the fortress, Slowly, by almost incredible HENRY BUENTHER Naturalist and Taxidermist 208 Second St. Postoffice Box No. 686 BEMIDJI, MINN.

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. a2l 2 2 2l P o 30 P 0 M 2l 2 pains, Japan has tightened its grip; the end was sure. For grmness of purpose, for brillency in planning and for bravery in action no army has yet outdone the Japanese besiegers of Port Arthur. And the Russians? They havesimply laid down their lives; their’s wasa spirit that would not be conquered. Their heroic defense of a fortress that was clearly doomed is unparallel- ed in the annals of warfare. The siege of Port Arthur is in a class by itself; there is nothing in history to compare with it. Ir THE United States senate does not watch out the grand jury will get all its members.

Ihad to move on, but I got even when he run for office. There was aold woman living on the poor farm and I got her to write letters claiming she was his mother.

Hanging is too good for him, but I ainthoggish, So I have arbitrated, and will let him off easy. I’m going to shoot him. That will make a white man outer him as good as hang- ing, I guess.

Just as dead as a man ever gets.

His strong form shook with hysterical sobs, and his tears scattered. like water from a street sprinkler wagon. When his grief had somewhat subsided, the postmaster spoke: “I guess Hiro must have been a great friend to you.” “Friend!” thundered the weep- ing man, “do you think a friend could make a baby outer me? I’ve lost more than a drove of friends. Ican scrape up a friend most anywhere, but for a genu- ine wideawake faithful enemy Hiro had no equals. It drives me crazy to think I’ve lost the best enemy I ever had., Hiro was a man worth scrapping with. Life will be tame without him.” And the tears flowed on.
