e ' WOULD SIGN AFFIDAVIT Mayor Ludington Positively Denies That He Will Be a Candidate. SAYS PETITION OF PEOPLE WILL NOT BUDGE HIM. *‘Office Is a Thankless One and I Have Already Served Too Many Terms.” “I am not a candidate for re- election, do not want the oftice and will have nothing more to do with it,” said Mayor Ludington this afternoon, and then added, “I am willing to sign an affidavit to that effect. The office 15a thankless one and I have already served too many terms. I deny that there is any possibility of gaining my conseat to make an- other run, but think the people could do just as well if not better by electing John Graham, who I understand will be a candidate,” Mr. Ludington has been inter- viewed hundreds of times by citizens of the city during the past month, and it had been thought that his consent to be a candidate would ultimately be the result. The above state- ment, however, does away with every possibility that he will con- sent to run. Will Examine Title. H. J. Loud, attorney for the Minnesota & International Rail- way company, will leave next week for Grand Rapids, where he will examine the title of the land which will he used by the railway company for right of way purposes in the extension of the line from Northome to Koochich ing.

The drain on the connty funds caused by the inssuance of wolf bounties is an evil that should be remedied at once, at,least so thinks one of the prominent men of Bemidji who isin a position to take notices of the large num- ber of bounties that are paid eich year. During the past win- ter the drain has been unusually heavy, owing to the increased number of wolves dispatched and the liberal bounty paid for ridd- ing the county of them. The state pays $7.50 for each female wolf killed and $3.75 for each male. In order to obtain the state bounty for killing the animals the county in which they are dispatched must pay an equal amount, According to the gen- tleman who thinks the bounty should be done away with, the men who have brought in cafcas- ses are not residents of the county, but in most cases have made their living during the win- ter in trapping and poisoning the animals and a large share of the money paid out has been taken out of the county instead of being paid to the settlers- and homesteaders who pay taxes and are really entitled to the bounty, WILL HANDLE " DRY GOODS J. A. McConkey Will Add Dry Goods to His Grocery Establishment. J. A. McConkey, the Minne- sota avenue groczr, has decided toadd adry goods stock to his grocery, and a part of the goods have already arriyed. Mr. Mec- Conkey has proven himself to be one of the most successful mer- chants in northern Minnesota and the addition of a dry goods stock to his establishment wil undoubtedly add to his trade. Earl Geil Will Run. Earl Geil this morning made a positive announcement that he would be a candidate for treas- urer to oppose the present in- cumbent, Cashier W. L. Brooks. Dr. G. A. Jones has accepted a -position as agent in this city for the North American sick and accident insurance company of Chicago.. Mr. Jones is a hustler and will undoubtedly make a suc- cess of his new venture. L b The condition of L. H. Bailey this afternoon is slightly improv- ed. He spent last night as well as could be expected and pros- pects for his recovery are much better than they have been for several days. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There isonly 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.

Former Route From North End Of Red Lake to Bemidji Was Through Big Swamp. The new Red Lake railway now being built from that village to Bemidji will be a benefit not only to this city and the settlers who live along the line. but also to those who live at the north end of Red Lake in the townships of Shotley, Tamarack and Battle River. Residents of those town- ships have formerly been com- pelled to go to Kelliher in order to come to Bemidji, but after the new railway is completed they may come across Red Lake in steamboats and take cars direct to Bemidji without being com- pelled to across the large swamp between the upper end of Red Lake and Kelliher. It is claimed that this swamp is one of the most dense and dan- gerous in northern Minnesota, and a trip through the boggy area during the summer time is always attended with more or less peril. It is more than six miles and even on the trail that leads from the north end of Red Lake to Kelliher sink holes are numer- ous and a false step often” buries the traveler to the neck in mire. Another disagreeable feature connected with the trip is the presence of millions of mosquitos and gnats. These insects swarn in the swamps and during the warm weather are so fierce in their attacks upon the traveler that it is impossible to make the trip. ° Police Court. Herman Mickelsen was sen- tenced to ten days in the county jail this wmorning by Judge Pendergast. Mickelson was ar- rested by the police yesterday afternoon for having assaulted a traveling corn doctor who has been in the city for some time past and brought before the judge, who imposed a fine of $8. Mickelson promised to- secure the money from friends before 8 o’clock yesterday but failed, and in default of the payment of the tine he will be a guest at’ Sheriff Bailey’s boarding house for the next ten days. James Johnson pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and was given five days in the county jail. John Durand also adwitted that he had violated the ordinances of the village in being drunkand was fined $1 and costs. To Arrange for Tourney. The executive committee of the Northern Minnesota Firemen’s Tournament association will meet at Cass Lake Monday night to arrange for the dates of the next tournament, which will be held at Eveleth in June. Rep- resentatives of the Blackduck department will* be present at the meeting of the executive committee in order that the dates af the tournaments at Blackduck and Eveleth may be made so as not to conflict, as the Blackduck firemen are in hopes of securing the attendance ofa number of the running teams be- longing to the Northern Minne- sota association, which formerly |-\ included Bemidji, Blackduck and other cities west of Cass Lake. E. §. Straw is lIL E. S. Straw, the Third street shoe man, left this morning for Minneapolis, where he will con- sult a physician because of stomach trouble from which he has suffered for some time past. Mr. Straw was troubled with the same ailiment eigh{ years ago, was treated in Minneapolis, and until the past two years he was free from sickness. During the past week, however, his condi- tion has grown much worse and it may be necessary for him to go to Chicago to undergo an operation.: % o Subseribe for the Pioneer. ERS| Case Against B. P.
