NIGGER IN WOODPILE Aitkin County People Declare That Flood Reports are Groosly Overdrawn. ALLEGE THAT REPORTS ARE! SENT OUT FOR A PURPOSE. | 1 Persons Interested in Abolition: of Reservoir System at Bot- | tom of Reports. The great prominence give! flood reports by one or two news- | papers has attracted general at- tention. Now comes a general denial from the territory most| affected, in the following de- spatch to the Duluth Herald: The reports of the flooded con- dition of Aitkin county being given the press are so exaggerat-| ed and misleading that while they at first amused the people| here, they now resent them and are indignant at the damaging influence. Not one per cent of the county has been flooded, no stock or| buildings have been destroyed | and the pevple are not “flocking to the village and taking refuge in churches and public build- ings,” as reported. A great tract of river bottom land is overflowed but the vast majority of the county has not oeen affected by the rains and tloods. The fact 1s, the river is high, ouat there is noimmediate danger of want, privation or sufferiog among inhahitants of Aitkin county and there has never been any part of the village of Awkin | under water. Our mills, it is wrue, have had to shut down owiug to high water, vut they | will atl be minl this weelk =) four farmers| have had to remove their stock to high lands south of here, The writers of the “fleod arti- cles” are either seeking notoriety er manufacturing untruths from the whole cloth. The intention toconvey the idea of the government dams being vesponsible for the recent high water, is also as untrue as the Hood scare, want and privation falsehoods.” The dams have all been closed, and our inundation and overflow is due to incessant heavy rains. and oaty three or also Henry Olander Drowned. Henry Olander, 30 years of age of Aitkin, was drowned and Matt/ Mastson nearly lost his life while bathing in Cedar lake Sunday af-; ternoon. Neither could swim, and venturing beyond their depths weunt down. When he suw the men drowning William wson dived after them succeeded in saving Mattsen af- | ter a hard struggle, but when he i went for Olander the latter was | grasping at the bottom | and was dead. Olander lived in| Aibkin, He was vot married. i Is and a4 root Bigefow Case Continued. The case of the state against E. | M. Bigclow, former cashier of t,he" Crookston Lumber company, was coutinued this morning in! Judge Skinvik’s court to Aug. 14; EXCURSION A o SURE THING Special ‘Train Will Go to Hibbing for Ball Game Next Sunday. Manager Barker of the local base ball team has secured the special train over the Great | Northern that will carry the ex- cursionists from Bemidji to Hib- bing next Sunday for the base ball game to be played between the Hibbing and Bemidji teams on that day. The fare will be $3.50 for the round trip. The Be- midji band will accompany the ball team and it is expected that a large crowd will be attracted to Hibbing. WOLD ALIVE IN MONTANA Missing Beltrami County Homesteader Said to Be Mining in Montana. Magnus Wold, the much missed .and much speculated about Beltrami county home- steader, is said not to be dead at all but to be very much alive in Montana, where ne is engaged in mining. According to reliable information he was seen this spring in Montana and stated that he had no intention of re- turning to this country, baving abandoned his homestead, which itis claimed is not in Buzzle township, but in Alaska. I'riends of Wold claim that it woald be impossible toidenti{y vl :nan by means of his toes aud declare +hat he never had a woman nurse. They further assertthat it was not his toes but his heels that were frozen, anyhow. Six Townships Mot Enumerated- Hon. C. C. Whitney, formerly state printer but who is now connected with the state census bureau, was in the city yester- day from St. Paul enroute to Northome, where hé will secure tensus enumerators for six town- ships in Itasca county that have not been enumerated. Mr. Whit- ney states that State Hanson, who is also_super- intendent of census, is anxious to give the north country ics justl dues in the way of " population, and while the period:for taking the state census is past he suc- ceeded in securing an opinion from the attorney general which allowed him to enumerate the six townships in Itasca county after the censusofall other por- tions of the state had been taken. Asher Still Missing. The whereabouts of James Asher, a farmer of Maple Ridge township who disappeared last April, are still unknown. His homestead has not been cultivat- ed during the summer and his neighbors think that he is dead. Asher was last seen in Bemidji in the month of April. Band Practice Tonight.

The meeting of the state drain- age league, which will be held at Crookston Aug. 1, will, accord- ing to present indicatiors, be very largely attended by resi- dents of all parts of the state.

The Pioneer is in receipt of the following letter: Office of the Christian Science Publication Committee and Dis- tribution Bureau of Minnesota. Minneapolis, July 15, 1905. Editor Bemidji Pioneer: In your issue of a recent date you repdrt Mr. James Kile of Warren going insane as a result of attending Christien Science meetings at Stephens, Minnesota. From the fact that the above statements are untruwe and a great injustice to Christian Science. I ask if you will kind!yl make the following eorrection in your nextissue. On reliable information T am | able to say that Mr. Kile did not lattend Christian Science services | but he did attend the meetings {of a sect known as “holy rollers’*} and took actiye ‘partin carrying | out these meetings at Stephen. | T also wish to add that it would | be absolutely impossible for one 1 to go insane as a result of attend- ling Christian Science seryices | because through this services | thousands are being restored and and clothed in their right mind.

Smith and family left last night for Kelliher, near which village Rev. Smith owns a homestead upon which he intend- ed to make his future home. Up. ' on arriving at Kelliher ‘the party was informed by settlers living near the claim that the high! water made it absolutely im- possible for. a human being to! make his way successfully | through the swamps over which it is necessary to reach Rev. Smith’s homestead, and Rev. and Mrs. Smith and their children! returned to Bemidji this morn-' ing to wait until the water re- cedes. A number of homestead- ers on the Battle river who were in the city today state that the highest meadows in that section are covered with three feet of water and that travel over the| roads is almost impossible. HAY CROP SMALL IN THE VALLEY Crookston Times Declared; Downpours Have Done Great Damage. Crookston Times; Those news- paper farmers who are so sure of a big hay crop because it has been so wet a season would do well (or better) to go with their boasting. Hay is an uncertain quantity at present writing. Meadows and sloughs are sub- merged in places. Coulie bot- toms are rotten and dead. Some rank grassy spots would {urnish yery unnutritious folder if it was cut today. The rains of the past two or three duys have been hard on hay already cut and a trip through the meadow country re- veals an unusual amount of prime grass which has been cut for hay going to waste upon the wet water soaked fields. The down- pour of water flooded the meadows and several days will sumed again. What the Minot Qptic says about “The Banker’s Child.” Last night a large audience witnessed the play, ‘“The Bank- er’s Child” at the opera -house and every one present left at the close of the play with the highest praise for Harry Shannon’s play. Tt has been a long time since a play has eome to Minot as elevat- ing in its tone and as prettily staged and costumed as “The|, Banker’s Child.” The elegant | costumes are seldom equalled on the stage and the play from be- ginning to end is intensely inter- esting. Little Stella, known as the Banker’s Child, is a warvel. She played her partin a manner which captured the entire aud:- enee. The specialties were very fine last night. It is hoped by many who saw the play last night that this company will play a return date in Minot. T0O0 LATE TO CLASSIFY.

Harry Ives passed through the city on his way to Cass Lake where he will visit his parents, Judge and Mrs, Ives. Harry, who is the editor of the Spectator at St. Hiliare reports that every- thing in a business way is pro- gressing nicely up in his part of the country. The mill is running quantities of lumber and every body seems contented with the outlook. 5 DISEASE Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping “it will wear away,” are drifting towards Bright’s Disease, its worst forms. . FOLEY’S KIDNEY stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs ared builds up the worn-out tissues of the kid- neys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kid- neys strain out the impurities through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body, causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc. or Bladder trouble commence tak- ing FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight dis- order in a few days and prevent a fatal malady. take and benefits the whole system, How to Find Out. You can easily determine if your kid- neys are out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has a brick-dust ; sediment or small particles float about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE should be taken at once. G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years. G. B. Burhans of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes: **About four years ago I wrote you stating that had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bottles of Foley’'s Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the brick- | dust sediment and pain and symptoms of kidney | disease disappeared. Iam glad to say that I | have never had a return of any of those symp- | toms during the four years that have elapsed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and heartily recommend Foley’s Kidney Cure to any one suffering from kidney or bladder trouble.” " | Two Sizes, 500 and 100. $0LD AHD REGUMMENDED BY Barker’s Drug Store.
