A A AN~ AA NN SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR The City of Bemidji. BY A LARGEmajority the people of Bemidji have decided that the village organization shall = be changed to a city organization and they have adopted a charter under which the city will here- after be administered. The new {form of government is one under which other cities “of the state have been most successfully ad- ministered and under which they have made that progress which is demanded of an American city at the present day, This result has been accom- plished by the almost unanimous action of tke business men of the city. The business men of Be- midji took up the matter of in- corporating as a city as a purely business proposition. We are confident that no thought of poli- tical gain or advantage entered for one moment into their minds. To their appeals the people of the city responded most em- phatically. To such an appeal the people of the city will re- spond at any time. One important element re- fused to be convinced that city organization would be a good thing for them, in fact, to be per- suaded that it would be a bad thing for them. Time, we are confident, will demonstrate that the organization of Bemidji as a city is by far the best thing for everyone, no matter what his business may be—the profes- sional politician excepted. The time has passed which Be- midji can be dictated to by any one man or any one set of men. Differences we shall doubtless] have very numerously, but dic- tators, 'who ‘‘can carry the city any time they want to”” we shall have none of. The man and the policy shall be the principal thing. R The Pioneer naturally “‘con- siders itself indorsed.” It has stood consistently and constant- ly for two years for city organi- zation, and the adoption of a home rule charter, by as emphatic a vote as that of yesterday, is to it, asit must be to every citizen, a matter of great gratification, AWAITING ' CALHOUN’S RETURN President Delays Action on Franco Vengzuelan Dispute. Oyster Bay, L. I, Sept. 27.—Nc communication from France regarding her difficulty with Venezuela yet has reached President Roosevelt, but he is Ziving attention to the subject.

Disastrous Fire at Spokane. ° Spokane, Wash., Sept. 27.—A disas trous fire broke out in the heart of the wholesale and shipping section ot Spokane early in the day which com- pletely gutted three brick buildings.

St. Petersburg, Sept. 27—Chief of Police Ivanoff, three policemen and three women were severely wounded by the explosion of a bomb thrown near the town gardens at Kowno, Northwest Russia. The thrower of the bomb escaped. It should be'borne in mind: that every cold weakens the lungs, low- ers the vitality and prepares the system for ‘the more serious dis- eases, among which are the two greatest destroyers of human life, Ppneumonia and consumption. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has won its great popularity by its prompt cures of this most common ailment. It aids expectoration, re- lieves the lungs and opens the secretions, effecting a speedy and permanent cure. It counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia. Price 25¢, Large Size 50c. k—__ .
