REFUSE T0 RUN Mayor Ludington Not a Candi- date for a Fourth Term as Mayor. RESISTS URGING OF FRIENDS TO MAKE RACE. His Refusal Again Opens Field and Gossip is Busy Picking The Nominee. Mayor J. A. Ludington this morning positively announced that he would not again be candi- date for mayoralty honors. During the past few days great pressure has been brought to bear upon Mr, Ludington to be- come a candidate for a fourth term and it was hoped that he would give his consent. After carefully considering the matter, however, Mr. Ludington has finally made up his mind not to bea candidate. His refusal is quite generally regretted inas- much as Mr. Ludington has the confidence of the business men of the city very generally, His three years adminstration of the affairs of the city has been a very satisfactory one and it is prob- able that had he consented to stand again there would have been no opposition to him. Mr. Ludington’s refusal leaves the matter open again and there is much speculation as to who will be the candidate, The contest for nomination as justice of the peace continues to be largely a still hunt. Mr. J. H. French informs the Pioneer that he is not a candidate and will not be one notwithstanding that rumor has generally credit- ed him with an ambition to suc- ceed Judge Reynold. Officers Elected. There will be a meeting of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union at 8 p. m. sharp at the [ home of Mrs. D. D. Harger, Tuesday Feb. 14th, .The Union has just had its yearly election of officers and under the stimulus of the meeting held by Mrs. L. E. Bailey, national lecturer, the last of July, they have resolved to have more interesting and bet- 3 ter attended meetings. The offi- cers elected are: President, Mrs. Gertude Rogers; vice president, Mrs. Thos. Broomfield; treasur- er, Mrs. Wm Love; recording secretary, Miss Clara Heffron; corresponding secretary, Mrs. J. J. Trask. All mothers are urged to attend and join if pos- sible. ~ PRINCESS Grocery Co. Don’t forget that our line of Canned Goods is the best. Our Princess Brand Coffees and Teas cannot be beaten.

BARN IS A MONSTER BUILD- ING 52x38. ) Will Accommodate Forty Head of Horses And Thirty Head of Live Stock. Bena, Feb. 13— Bena is assum- ing considerable importance, this winter, as the center of logging operations of considerable magni- tude. This place is the: most convenient distrubing point for a numberofloggingconcerns which have contracts to cut many feet of pine on the Indian reserva- tion and at other points close to boundary of the reserve. J. Gibson & Co. have three camps four miles west and south of the railroad tracks. This company will cut twelve million feet, be- forelthey complete their contract, which they secured as a sub-let from the Burlington Co., of Burl ington Ia., which latter concern purchased the timber at the sales held in Cass Lake one year ago last December. John Sibley is operating two camps, about eighteen miles south of here, just beyond the boundary line of the reservation. He will cut and land at least four million this winter. Earnest Flemming, the local merchant, has put in a camp on Third river, about forty miles directly north of Bena, where he owns a fine lot of pine. This timber will be purchased by the Moueller Lumber Co., which has large holdings on the reservation. Skelly Bros., Cohasset, have two camps near where Sibley is log ging, and Olson Bros. have one camp buta shortdistanc from the Skelly camps. = All of these com- panies are toteing from Beaa, and are doing much of their trad- ing at this point, which has made business exceedingly good for the merchants here, Ernest Flemming has just com- pleted one of the very best stables to be found in the north half of the state. The barn cost $3,200, and is very commodious and well arranged. The dimen- sions are 50x38, two stories, with a lean-to 16x100, the whole being covered with corrugated iron, and very neatly painted. The barn will hold 40 head of horses, 30 head of live stock, and the feed bins are also located on the ground floor. The loft already has stored in its capacious dimen- sions 75 tons of hay, and thers is still room left for more. Mr. Flemming is one of the most successful farmers in this vici- nity. He has a number of fine cattle and hogs and has just add- ed to his possessions along this line fine registered animals, the best that can be purchased. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies Deaf- ness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give one hundred dol- lars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh). that can not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. —F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

WILL ENLARGE THE COLLEGE Bemidji Business College Will Guarantee Positions to Students. The Bemidji Business College since its establishment about a year ago by Mr. P. J. Conway has made good progress and is now thoroughly established. A step forward was taken Saturday when a partnership agreement was concluded between Mr. Con- way and Mr. J. A. Button, prin- cipal of Button’s Business College at Crookston. = The school will be enlarged and positions will be guaranteed to all students. Mr. Button has been at the head of his business college in Crookston several years and has placed students from the Atlantic to the Pacific and the newly organized school will © have exceptional facilities for placing students in remunerative positions.

Chicago, Feb. 11.—Johaan Hoch dur- fng the day heard himself, for the first time, accused by witnesses and point- ed out to a jury as a bigamist. Be- fore a big and curious throng he sat while the manner of Mrs. Welker- Hoch’s death was described. Before entering the juryroom in the criminal court building, where the inquiry was -held, Hoch confessed, the police say, to having married thirteen of the thirty-nine women who claim him as | husband. It is predicted by the police that he will own up to fully thirty of them before the inquest, with its at- tendent strain upon him, ends. But he holds firmly to his denfal that hef{ poisoned any one of them. Hoch came’to the coroner’s inquest Wwith several days’ growth of beard on his face. His appearance was any- thing but neat. As he entered the room he looked neither to the right nor to the left but walked to a seat ap parently without seeing three of hig former wives, who sat in front' of him. Frauk Spreyne, an undertaker, who prepared the remains of Marie Welker- Hoch for burial, identified Hoch ag ’ the husband of the dead woman. Mrs. Emelie Fischer-Hoch, who mar- ried the bigamist four days after tho death of her sister, who also had been one of Hoch’s wives, told of her sis- ter’s death, of her own marriage to Hoch and his subsequent desertion after securing her savings. Two photographs of Hoch sent ta Germany by the police officials have been returned -with the information that they are pictures of Jacoh Schmidt, who formerly lived at Bin- gen. Germany. One of the photo graphs was taken at Wheeling, W. Va., where Hoch married one of his wives, and the other was a picture taken on his release from the Bridewell here in 1899. S. M.

It seems that some time ago Mr. Bray sent the pic- ture to President Roosevelt and that he has received in return a photograph of the president to- gether with a letter of congratu- lation and best wishes for the health and happiness of the family. The picture printed in the Tribune is a good one and the children are a bright intelligent looking seven. Fred Glass of Fosston is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Bishop. 7 Peerless all sieel ranges.
