- 4th WANTED TO USE HIM County Commissioner Wag- ner Explains How Editor of the Sentinel “WANTED TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF-HIM.” Answers an Attack Made by The Sentinel in Its Issue Last Week. The Pioneer is iu receipt of the following letter from County Commissioner J. H. Wagner, answering an editorial attack made against Mr. Wagner by the Sentinel last week, the burden of which was that the Sentinel had elected Mr. Wagner commis sioner in the hope of making something out of him, but the re- fusal of Mr. Wagner to vote the job printing of the county to the Sentinel left that paper much disappointed in its hope. Bemidji, Minn. March 4, 1905. Bemidji Pioneer, Bemidji, Minn. Gentlemen;— Truer words never fell from the lips of man or graced the columns of a country newspaper, than those contained in the eol- umns of the Bemidji Sentinel under date of March 2nd, 1905, when the esteemed editor, and as he will admit himself, the|* shrewdest politician in the north- west, stated that he was induced to take up my candidacy for County Commissioner of the District last fall with the view to ““make something out of me.” That the editor, through the medium of his political organ, The Sentinel, did endeavor to further my candidacy for the office, to which I was afterwards elected, I am in no position to deny, but little did I dream at the time that his powerful influ- ence was being swayed east and west, north and south and clear around the boundaries of the 4th district, that his ultimate object was to ‘“make something out of me.” Not until Mr. Hays agreed to save me harmless on a first ' mortgage on certain pro perty if I would sign his bond for $400, and after signing the bond found that he only had a second mortgage on an undivid- ed half interest to give, did I for the first time realize in all its significance, the fact that “he wanted to make something out of me.” To pay the amount of the bond if Hayes defaulted, would more than cost me my whole year’s earnings, and then he “would make something out of me.” It took me three days of hard work to get off that bond and thus keep him from “making something out of me.” He might just as well try to make some- thing more out of his quondam landlord, M. E. Ibertson, as to try “to make something out of me.” We are both of us onto his game and I opine that he will make nothing of either of us. It is my purpose to be honest and fair as a member of the board of county commissioners, and as a member of the board I wont let anyone ‘“‘make something out of e If M=. Hays considers mytime in getting off Mr. Hays obliga tions worth the amount he claims against me for advertising, I will consider the incident closed. Yours truly, —J. H. Wagner. Caught for $1000. The Coe Commission company failed yesterday with liabilities amounting to over $200,000 and assets unknown. Crookston pat- rons of the game are caught for about $1000 it is said.

GREELEY RESIGNS Big Fork Edltor Gives Up Clerkship in House of Representatives. A. M. Greeley, editor of the Big Fork Compass and author of “Backwoods Sketches,’” arrived in Bemidjt last night from St. Paul, where he has held a posi- tion since the beginning of the preseunt session of the legislature as clerk on the house committee of municipal legislation, Mr. Greeley has tendered his resigna- tion from the position and it has beenaccepted by Speaker Clague. Mr. Greeley’s resignation from the clerkship is the first instance of the kind in the history of the state. and considerable surprise was felt by members of both houses of the legislature at the act, and it was hinted at the capi- tol - that the act was on account of the hard work which has been incident to a clerkship position since Speaker Clague’s election. Mr. Greeley explains, however, that he resigned for purely per- sonal reasons, as he wishes to be present at Ripple during the buildings of the M. & I. to that village to took after his business interests. Mr. Greeley will leave for his home at Ripple this evening. MANY MEN FOR " EXTENSION Large Number of Laborers Being Shipped North for Workon M. & 1.

The contractors have already es- tablished camps and the work of clearing right of way is now in progress., No estimate of the number of men that will bs em- ployed upon the road has been given out as yet, but it is stated upon good authority that the work will be pushed as rapidly as possible in order to complete the railway before next fall, Local employment offices have orders for a large number of men and laborers are being shipped out of the city daily for work on the extention. DANCE A BIG SUCCESS Grand Free Ball Given by Firemen Last Night Was Largely Attended. The grand ball given last night by the fire department to the people of the city as a token of appreciation of the liberal sup- port accorded them in the piano contest, was entirely successful from a social standpoint, and those who attendcd the event en- joyed a delightful eyening. The new piano which was won by the firemen was exhibited during the evening and was used in the or- chestra which furnished music. It was pronounced an excellent instrument and well worth the efforts put forth by the firemen to win the prize. Schneider Returns. Emil Schneider, of the firm of Schneider Bros., returned last night from an extended trip throughout the southern and eastern part of the United States. Mr. Schneider visited many cities and wintering places, among them being Jacksonville and St. Augustine, Florida. He also spent a few days at the na " | vional capital, but was unable to meet the president on account of the latter’s acceptance of an invi- tation to dine with the Hungarian club of New York. Mr. Schneider has again taken charge of his clothing establishment in this city and the senior member of the firm, Ben Schneider, will re- tura to his home at Iron River, Wis.

Police Also Investigate But the Mystery is Far From Being Cleared. = “Qur House is Haunted.” From Brainerd comes the lat- est in the way of ‘“‘ghost’’ stories and since the day of the famous Neutzling Ghost, ‘which held right of way along the Great Northern tracks near Sauk Cen- tre, there has been nothing to equal the fearful dimensions of the Sauk Centre tale, until pos- sibly this one. The story is one of visitations and concerns a saloon operated by Mich, Remmels, in the Brain- erd suburbs. The building oc- cupied as a drink palace, isa crooked bulging place with gables. It is not really haunted, but the aforementioned visita- tions have kept the occupants of the place and residents in the vi- cinity in a constant turmoil for the past several weeks. The ethereal being that stealthily. makes its appearance every even- ing at the midnight hour; is said to be a woman gowned in the proverbial white robeattire. The police officers who have seen it swear that she has long braided hair hanging down her back, but a police captain who made inves- tigation says that her hairis done up behind. The Brainerd Dispatch says that from one or two that watched these nightly prowlings, or manifestations, the crowd has grown to almost a multitude and on Friday night, the more super- stititious were there with “fear and trembling” and they too were repaid for their vigil, The agency which visits the Remmels saloon is not of the destructive kind, but glides along in a mys- terious and noiseless manner.

A meeting of the owners of lots in Swedbacks addition which will be crossed by the new Minnea polis, Red Lake & Manitoba rail- way was held ‘this morning be- fore Judge W. S.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup- posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro- nounced ita local disease and prescribed local remedies, ‘and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in- curable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s the F, J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts- directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, They offer one- hundred dollars for any case it and testimonials.

R. R. Laborers in Demand. 10,000 railroad laborers can get work by going to Minneapolis, as 600 miles of new construction work has recently been let in Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana, on roads running out of Minneapclis, which will eu- able the Jaborers to be furnished with free transportation by the employment agents. There will also be several thousand men used by - railroad companies on betterment » work of old lines. Owing to the large number of railroads running out of Minne- apolis, that employ thousands of men each year, it is consider- &d the greatest labor market in the United States. The employ- ment agents arefinding it diffi- cult to fill their orders daily, on account of the scarcity of men in Minneapolis. Advertise in the Daily Pioneer It’s a good investment.
