WELLS TO BE DEEPENED City Council Will Complete Work of Providing Water for City. WORK WILL BE COMMENCED AS S00N AS POSSIBLE. Expert Will Be Engaged to Handle the Work—Cost Estimated at $700. The members of the city coun- cil have decided to deepen the wells which were dug to the depth of 100 feet last fall and which were found, after all pipes and fittings had been placed in position, to be wholly inadeauate to supply the city with water,and the work is to be started as soon as possible under the supervision of an expert. The' council has come to this conclusion 6n1y after an exhaus- tive study of the well proposition. The opinions of different men who have had years of experience in well digging have been solicit- ed and a number have been in the city and made. personal ex- aminations of the wells. They all seem to agree that the only method to economically provide a water works system for the city which will be adequate to supply the demand is to make the wells deeper, and give as their reason for the opinion the Felief that a pocket. instead of a flowing vein of water, was struck when the work of digging was stopped. They claim that all that is necessary is to make the wells 300 to 400 feet deeper and a pleatiful supply of good water can be had and the expense of the entire work will be only about $700. A number of cities not far from Bemidji have tried the plan adopt- ed last fall by the city council to operate -a water works system, and in many cases it has failed because the wells are too shal- low. However, in Ada and Grand Rapids at the depth of 500 Feet flowing wells have been produc- ed, and it is thought that the ex- periment will be successful here.

The attachment made in the case of Biteman & Dumas against A. K. Hull was quashed yester- day by an order of Judge Mc- Clennahan. Mr. Hall, a resident of Little Falls, Minn., wassengaged in log- ging operations at Dexterville, Minn., and the plaintiffs were his contractors. The plaintiffs quit work, entered suit against Hall & Collins for the valueof their alleged services and attached about $2,500 worth of poles and logs which were banked on the right of way near Dexterville. The poles and posts were piled in such manuer that Mr. Hall was obliged to cease his logging operations until such time as they could be removzd, Gibbows & Torrance appeared for |the defendant, A. K. Hall obtained an order to show cause from Judge Spooner, returnable before Judge McClennahan at Brainerd on Feb. 13, when they secured an order vacating the at- tachment and directing the sheriff to immediately deliver the property to Mr. Hall. The grounds set up in the affi- davit for attachment were that the defendant, Hall, had disposed of a portion of his property with intent to defraud his creditors and was about to d ispose of the remainder of his property with the same intent. But the evid- ence wholly failed to establish such a state of facts. In the memorandum attached to the or- der vacating the attachment Judge McClennahan says, *Con- sidering all the affidavits submit- ted by the defendant, and giying due weight to those submitted by the plaintiffs, the showing in the defendant’s favor is practically conclusive, and it would be an in- justice to hold his property longer.” Mr. Hall states that he intends to immediately bring an action against Biteman & Dumas and the sureties on their bond for damages sustained by reason of the attachment of his property without due cause.

COUNCIL OF ALL THE CHIEFS WILL BE CALLED. Chief May-dwa-no-ding Says Delegate Must Be Sent to Major Scott. J. G. Morrison, the Red Lake merchant, was in the city last night and told of a rather inter- esting state of affairs existing among the Red Lake tribe of Chippewas. Mr. Morrison was asked what the *feeling among the Indians was regarding the bill passed in congress to grant the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba Railway company the 320 acre tract of land for termi- nal and tewnsite purposes. Mr. Morrison replied as follows: “The feeling among the In- dians is very bitter against the railway company and also against the government for taking away land that belunged to them. They think the government has no right to do this, and look upon the 'action as entirely unjustifi- able. As I understand the bill, the railway company will have the privilege of selecting any tract they desire, and if thisis true there is no end to the trouble that may ensue. The oldest chiefs of the tribe live along the shores of the lake near the agency, and all of them have cleared and cultivated gardens for many years past. If this land is selected, the removal of all these Indians will be necessi- tated, and the gardens and homes of the aged chiefs will be entirely destroyed and they will be compelled to begin the clear- ing of other tracts anew. “Of course this is objected to by ths Indians. who were prom- ised last fall by Major McLach- lan, at the time the townships were bought by the government, that no more land would be taken away from them until all their allotments had been secured. As a matter of fact, not one allot- ment has been taken by the In- dians, consequently the ill feel- ing against the government and the railway company.. “May-dwa no-ding, iiead chief of all the Chippewas on the Red Lale reservation, has decided to call a council of all the chiefs and members of the tribe, and a meet- ing will take place in the near future. The object of the coun- cil will be to send a delegate to Major Scott, acting Indian agent, to protest against the act of the government and it is thought by the chiefs that he will take care of the matter to the best possible advantage of the Indians. “Hvery member of the tribe look upon Major Scott as his guardian, and the faith’reposed in him by the Indians is the re- sult of his untiring interest in the tribes of which he is the act- ing agent. When the delegate interviews Major Scott cancern- ing the matter. whatever Major Scott advises them to do will be carried out without a murmer.” Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applicatioas, 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 cansed 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 Cuare. —F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

In Wildwood county Death was yet too rude to wear the silken glove of disease. It marked its victims with the drunken knife and the reckless falling tree. The sun sickened at the rowdy’s open knife and the night weayed tales of disappearing men and suppos- ed suicides. Yet the gallows hungered and the moral element cried in vain for a hanging. An ambitious county attorney decided to boost law and order by finding an example where a vigor- ous prosecution would not tie a voters’ noose around his own neck. He sought a culprit with- out bothersome friends or aggra vating money. His heart floated with hope and his eyes swam withjoy as he fired the furance of his sweat box for Ben Bruce. Bruce was arrested as a result of his unguarded remarks con- cerning the sudden disappear- ance of his nearest neighbor, Joe Weaver. The two men had left town together one night, when both was so full of “squirrel” whiskey that the scenery was revolving rapidly. Weaver had not been seen since. Bruce had cheerfully brought upon himself the chilling eye of suspicion, and now was warming in the “sweat hox."’ “Young man,’”’ said the attor- ney with a lordly air, “you had better ma%e a clean breast of the whole affair. A crime has been committed, and you had better throw yourself upon the mercy of the court. If you pretend to be innocent, it may lengthen the agony, increase the cost of the case and thus increase the sever- ity of the jury, who are tax-pay- ers.” He might have added that a speedy conviction would hasten his own chances for re-election, | but this was unnecessary. Bruce confessed as cheerfully as though he was deseribing a bowery dance. He admitted that he and Wea- ver had quarreled whilé going home from town, and in a drunk- en rage had stabbed his best friend. He dragged the corpse home and burned in a brush heap. He broke into small pieces the unconsumed bones and fed them to his chickens. Justice is a fickle dame. Bruce did not remain in jail until the convening of the court, Wild- wood was again cheated outof a banging. In direct violation to all sense of decency, his suppos ed victim returned to life. Wea- ver returned from a visit to Wis- consin, unconscious that he was liberating a cold blooded murder- er or defeating a hopeful attor- ney. Bruce seemed the least sur prised to see the dead return. He even reproached Weaver. *“What did- you come back for?” he asked. “Nobody will believe anything I say after this. It almost kills me to have a fellow’ dispute my word. I don’t tell a lie very frequent, but when I do I’'m willing to stick toit if T hang for it.”’ Nothing can be better than the best—Mark’s lung Balsam is the Grand Piano Contes Those holding tickets en the Piano will please re- member that the contest will close March Ist, at 1 o’clock p. m.

Johnson of the Great Northern Express {company, was inthe city this ! morning and stated to the Pioneer “that a change in tLe train service {of this city would take effect on { March 5, but that the new sched- ule would not affect the east and west -bound trains to such an jextent as had been previously re- {ported. Mr. Johnson says that the only material change that { will be made is on the Sauk Cen- ter branch, where the south bound train which leaves Bemid- ji at5.30. This will be changed | free expectoration, and opens the SO as to start for St. Pacl about '8 o’clock. “The early morning ;'mun now being run from this icity does not get the amount of g‘tmfiifi that it should have. from ' Bemidji and other points where |it leaves before breakfast,” said | Mr. Johnson, “and consequently ithe change. From Walker to St. | Paul it is always crowded and i |is believed by the company that 'the change to a later hour for the {departure will considerably in- | crease the business of this line.” Mr. Johnson left on the east ‘{ bound train for Farris, where he iwill close the express office now i maintained by the company in { that city, as the amount of busi- ness done does not warrant the maintenance of an agent in that village.
