WOULD END OWN LIFE Mrs. John Harrer Would Take Carbolic Acid to Destroy Herself. PLAN OF SELF DESTRUCTION IS FRUSTRATED. Lonely Existence and Small Means Said to be Cause of Her Desire to End Life. Mrs. John Harrer of Bemidji Tuesday night attempted to com- mit suicide by taking carbolic acid, and if the efforts of friends of the woman had not been suc- cessful she would undoubtedly have succeeded in her plan of self destruction. Mrs. Harrer lives over a build- ing located just south of the Great Northern tracks and the lower part of the building is occupied by Mrs. John Moran and her children. Mrs. Harrer sent one of the children out after some carbolic acid, saying that she had a severe tooth ache. The child went to home of Mrs, John Bahr and ask- ed for the poison but Mrs. Bahr scented trouble and rofused to give her the acid. Upon the re- turn of the child to Mrs. Harrer without the poison the latter be- came hystericaland told that she wanted to die; that she had lived long enough. Mrs. Moran and several other neighbors of the woman went to the house and comforted her, at last gainingher promise not to attempt her self destruction any more. Mrs. Harrer is the wife of a woodsmen who spends a large part of his time in lumber camps in this vicinity. During his ab- sence the family is nat supplied with everything that the heart could desire, and it is thought that this, together with her lone- ly existence has weighed upon the woman’s mind to such an ex- tent that she has become parti- ally insane.

HIGH SCHOOL IS ALL RIGHT Prof. Aiton, High School In- spector, Visits Schools at Bemidji Prof. Aiton of Minneapolis, state high school inspector, was in the city today making his reg- ular visit of inspection. Mr. Aiton has not been in Bemidji for anumber of years and the change in the city and the remarkable increase in the number of pupils attending the public schools were agreeable surprises. When ask- ed as to the condition of the high school, Mr. Aiton replied to the Pioneer that anything good could be truly said for it and for the work being done by Prof. A. P. Ritchie, the superintendent, and the corps of teachers under him. Mr. Aiton left this afternoon for Cass Lake in company with Prof. Ritchie to attend the dedication of the new school house recently completed in that city. A Modern Moral Show—Opera House all week. When You Have a Cold. The first action when you have a cold should be to relieve the lungs. This is-best accomplished by the free use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. This remedy liquefies the tongh mucus and causes its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, produces a free expectoration, and opens the secretions. A complete cure soon follows.

P.BOYDIS CONVICTED Jury Finds Brainerd Man Guilty of Killing Cow Moose Near Northome, RESULT GRATIFYING TO GAME AND FISH COMMISSION. Shows Feeling of Settlers to Be Against Wilful Slaughter of Game. The case of the State of Min- nesota vs. B. P. Boyd, the Brain- erd man accused of having killed a cow moose near Northome. was tried yesterday before Judge Shiere of Northome and a jury selected from the settlers who live in the vicinity where the crime was committed last fall. Bailey & McDonald of Bemidji appeared for the state game and fish enmmission, which carried on the prosecution, and W. H. Crowell of Brainerd represented the defendant. Boyd was found guilty by the jury and a fine of $50 and costs was imposed, in lieu of which he will be compelled to serve a term of 60 days in the county jail at Grand Rapids. The two other cases against him for killing two cow moose on Novem- ber 18 were postponed to March 7. This case is one of the most important prosecutions ever car ried on by the state game and fish commission, as it establishes without a doubt that the settlers who live in the game country are in favor of a reasonable game protecting law, believe in its en- forcement and will do all in their power to aid the commis sion as long as the commission uses judgment in directing the prosecutions. Boyd was oneof the hunters who went to Northome during the big game season and enjoyed a considerable measure of suc- cess while hunting in that vicin- ity. However, it becalne known toS. F. Fullerton, executive agent for the game and fish commis- sion, that certain violations of the law had occurred and an in- vestigation of the affair instigat- ed by settlers living near North- ome developed that fact that Boyd wasa violator. Through the attorneys of the commission, Bailey & McDonald, evidence was secured against Boyd and he was subsequently arrested but at his trial several months ago he was released owing to the non appearance of the state’s principal witness. The prosecu- tion was taken up again, however, with the result that yesterday the jury brought ina verdict of guilty, and itis practically ad- mitted that the other two cases against him will be decided the same way. This is the first instance where a jury has found a game violat- or guilty and the result is natur- ally gratifying to the game and fish commission. A Modern Moral Show—Opera House all week. POGUE IS A CANDIDATE Makes Signed Statement That His Candidacy for Mayor Is No Joke. J. P. Pogue, whose candidacy for mayor has been treated as a joke up to the present time, has settled all doubt as to whether or not his declaration to become a candidate is a joke by publishing the following signed statement: “I hereby announce myself as a candidate for mayor and ask the support of all citizens at the polls next month. If elected I will do all in my power toad- minister the office successfully. As to my position as street com- missioner, I intend to resign, that, as I do not want it longer.” —J. P. Pogue.” C. W.

ANXIOUS The Present Spell of Warm Weather Bids Fair to Break Up Operations. ) ICED ROADS SUFFER FROM WARM WEATHER. Many Contractors - Anxiously Await Change — Woodsmen Come in From Camps. If the present warm weather continues for another week hund- reds of logging camps in north- ern Minnesota will be forced to suspend operations and the num- ber of logs which it was intended to cut and haul this winter will be considerably diminished. Among the contractors, the anxiety expressed regarding the weather is an indication that the situation is a grave one. The warm spell which has been pre- valent for nearly a week has al- ready affected the iced roads to such an extent that on the hills it is necessary to keep men busy- during the entice day shoveling snow onto the roads. The nights are so warm that water does not freeze and in spite of every effort the ice is gradually being worn away to such an extent that haul- ing is even now a hard proposi- tion. February, as a rule, is consid- ered the best month of the win- ter to baul logs, and there are very few instances of a break up ‘occurring during that month. March 15 is always figured by loggers as the average date for ceasing operations and many in- stances have occured where haul- ing was carried on until April 10. Consequently, the contractors who have taken contracts for landing a certain number of feet of logs are very anxious and await a change to the colder with much anxiety. One of the propositions which also troubles the loggers is the restlessness of the men during the warm weather, The woods get sloppy and the work is much harder than during cold weather, consequently many men have already quit work and are now spending their winter’s wages in cities adjacent to the logging camps. TO CONDEMN THE LANDS Notices of Condemnation Have Been Sent to Property Owners in Bemidji. A number of residents of the city living along the line of the new railway south of the Great Northern tracks have received notices from the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba Railway company, through the company’s attorneys, John Lind and A. Ueland, to the effect that a meet- |- ing for the purpose of appointing three suitable and non interested parties to determine the value of the lands affected- by the new railway in that locality, will be held at the court house March 3.

Carson. Arthur Brose, I. W. Langaard, John Patterson, the Bemidji Brewing company, Chas. J. Swedback and Erick J. Swed- back.

SWEDBACK BLOCK TO BE NEW LOCATION. Definite Information as to Date _ of Removal Has Not Been Given Out. The postoffice department at Washington has decided to change the location of the post- office in Bemidji from its present location on lower Beltramiavenue to the Swedback block and it is stated that the removal will take place the first of the week. This decision on the part of the postoffice department is the re- sult of considerable agitation re- garding the watter by residents who live in the residence districts in the north end of the city. The matter has been agitated a num- ber of times previous to this win- ter, but the efforts of those who| have wanted the location changed have, until the present time,been unsuccessful. The building now occupied by the postoffice isa part of the W. F. Street estate and has been used for a number of years past. When the building was leased the department secured a five year lease with the privilege of removing the office at any time it was deemed necessary. The change will be appreciated by residents of the upper end of the city, who have considered it a hardship, especially during the winter time, to walk to the post- office at its present location.
