No. The Chiropractic and the Osteopath both aim to put in place that which is out of place, to right that which is wrong; but the Path- ology Diagnosis, Prognosis and Movements are entirely different. One of my patients, Mr. W. A. Casler, has taken boLh Chiropractic and Osteopoth treatments. The Chiropractic is ten times more direct in the adjustments and the results getting health ten times more thor- ough in one tenth of the time than an Osteopath would.

Tsit possible that this is because the great majority of the people of the city have made up their minds that under the present inadequate village or- ganization they are practically disfranchised? Bemidji is a city in fact, but still wears the swad- dling clothes of yillage ofganiza- tion. The state of Minnesota might as wisely elect all its con- gressman, orall its state sena- tors, orell its members of the state legislature at largé as for the city o Bemidji to elect all its councilmen at large. The prin- ciple is exactly thz same. Special‘interests have thus far succeeded in preventing the or- ganization of a city government, but the Pioneer hopes and ve- lieves that the day will soon come when the people of Bemidji will no longer tolerate such a condi- Are We Civilized, Indeed? JAPAN has won another decis- ive victory in the far east. This ought to be enough toend the war at once. To what end does Russia continually pour out the blood of its peoples? Aund to what end does the civilized world permit the borrible butchery now going on—a daily massacre that determines nothing? The issues of the war have already been determined. Russia may elect to continue the contest. To what end? Other terrible de- feats are as certain and will be as overwhelming as those she has already repeatedly suffered. We begin to think that a world that will stand idly by and per- mit such useless slaughter of men is far from being civilized.

Smitherman, a good citizen of this place, came to the store for medicine,”’ says Dr. Parnell, of Maplesville, Ala. ‘“He was so hoarse that he could hardly talk and said that he had coughed all the night before. I sold him a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and told him that if it did not relieve him he might bring the bottle back and get his money. I saw him the next morning carrying the bottle to the store where he works, and he told me it done him more good than any medicine he ever used.” For sale by Barker’s Drug Store.

Department of the Interior, Land Office ati - posed by G. W. W. Harden, In & bIn 01~ fered in the house @uesday. The provisions of the bill are made mandatory _on all railroads in the state. For fractional miles, a limit of b cents is allowed. 4 An attempt to prevent pooling by in- surance companies and to regulate fire insurance rates is made in a Dbill of- fered by S. D. Peterson: It provides that every company doing business in the state must sign an affidavit that it is not connected with any combination designed to do what the bill prohibits. W. A..Hinton offered a bill making the register of deeds the custodian of chattel mort -ages, and fixing the fee for registration at 25 cents. W. B. Anderson of Winona introdue- ed a bill-creating a horseshoers’ hoard of examiners, to be named by the gov- ernor. To secure ~a diploma, three years’ apprenticeship and $10 is neces- sary. Horseshoers without diplomas are prohibited from working at their trade. A $200,000 live stock amphitheater for the state fair grounds is provided in a bill offered by J. R. Morley. Delivery receptacles for beer, min- eral waters, milk or any commodity are protected in a bill introduced by Gen- eral Flower of St. Paul. An owner, to protect his property, has only to file ‘| the bottle or box design with the sec- retary of state, and from that time on his ownership cannot be disputed. Demands Fireproof Curtains. W. .A. Nolan wants all theaters and halls with a stage in every town and city in the state protected with a fire- proof curtain. It is further provided that every city shall have an inspector of halls and theaters, who shall be compensated by a tax of $3 on each building inspected. The house resumed consideration of the code Tuesday, but did not continue the progress it started with Monday. There was a tendency to rebel against the strictures imposed by the judiciary committee and the house leaders, and the belligerent faction pre- vailed to the extent of securing the adoption of several amendments. Representative A. K. Ware charged a conspiracy on the part of some one to clothe the board of control with au- thority over the salaries of officials of stale institutions under local control. The “woodshuck” charged by him was in chapter 25, relating to the hoard of control, and according to his inter- pretation, it gave the board absolute authority to fix the salary of the presi- dent of the university or-any other offi- cial indirectly by a local board. An amendment striking out the of- fending section went over for the day. Both houses passed a resolution con- gratulating President Roosevelt on in- augaration. Among the eight hills passed by the house was Block’s bill regulating the sale of prison-binding twine. SENATE RESUMES BUSINESS. Makes Up for Lost Time by Rushing | in a Flood of Bills. * The Senate resumed business Tues- day, after a recess since Friday noon, and made up for lost time by rushing in a flood of bills, twenty-one in all. Senator John C. Hardy proposed a bill, local in character, under which cities of 50,000 and over are authorized to issue bonds for waterworks pur- poses. The bill provides that by a two- thirds vote of the common council, bonds, not to exceed $500,000, may be issued. Senator Ward submitted a bill, the purpose of which is to prohibit bucket- |- shops for the purchase or sale of stocks or grain. Senator Horton introduced a bill ‘which creates a pension for disabled and retired policemen, in cities having a population of more than 50,000. Under a bill by Senator Dart, the provisions of the statutes relating to giving notive of motions for prejudice in district courts are extended to cov- ‘er all districts of the state: Senator Comstock introduced a bill appropriating $485,000 for the con- struction of a new main building at the state university. Senator Morgan submitted two bills relating to the formation of a state bu- reau of child and animal protection, The Minnesota Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty is to constitute a state bureau of chud and animal protection. The appropriation is $2,500 per annum. TUnder a bill by Senator Putnam, a wife or child abandoned by a husband or father, may make complaint to a will see to it that the necessary war- raut is issued. The senate passed Senator Gjertsen’s @ivorce bill.
