This is a busy month with County Treasurer French as all real estate taxes become delin- quent after May 31, Itis to the interest of ali to see that their taxes are paid be- fore that date asafter then a penalty of ten]per centis added and collected with the original tax. Should you not_haye the full account one half the tax can be paid now and the balance on or before October 31. How- ever, it is good policy to pay the full amount in May, or else you forget the other half. Read the Daily Pioneer. Our Ads Are Our Solicitors.

Leaves to Regain Health. Fred C. Carlson, who for the last two years has been local editor of the Pioneer, has been forced on account of failing health to give up work, and will devote the next few months, possibly a year, to getting well. Fred leaves in a day or two for Lake George where he is tocamp out, and put in his time hunting and fishing, and his present plans contemplate a stay there of about three months. Hred’s leaving is regretted by 1o one more than by the Pioneer but he feels that he cannot disobey the orders of his physi- cian, who has ordered him to take to the woods and rough it until his health is restored. He has been a hard working and faithful reporter and has covered the local field in a most efficient manner. The earnest wishes of this paper and his numrerous friends for his speedy recovery go with him. Joins Pioneer Staff. Scott Stewart, a young man well and favorably known in Be- midji, has accepted a position on the Pioneer staff and will here- after do the local reporting, He began his work today. Mr. Stewart iz taking the place made vacant by the leaving of Fred Carlson on account of failing health. e is looking for news and anyone who has any of that elusive article about will be conferring a favor on the paper, Mr. Stewart and himself by giving it to him. Not a Saloonkeeper. In Saturday’s Pioneer in the account of the arrest of Edward Jennings, the statement was made that Jennings was a bar- tender in the E. H. Cornwall saloon. It was a mistake and this paper hastens to correct it, Jennings was bartender in E, H. Munhall’s saloon. E. H. Corn- wall does not own or operate a saloon but is a well known cruiser of Northern Minnesota, Court in Session. District court cases are still being heard and the case of John M. Baker vs. E. 8.

MALARI AN INSIDIOUS FOE ~ TO HEALTH Malaria is an atmospheric poison which we unconsciously breathe intg our lungs through the impure air arising from low, marshy places, stagnant ponds, damp cellars, vegetable matter, etc. sewer pipes, improperly ventilated houses, decaying Day after day these germs and poisons are taken into the lungs, and as the blood passes through them it becomes infected with the Ppoison and in its circulation distributes the microbes of disease to all parts of the body. Malaria i s a very insidious disease ; it gives no warning of its coming until the circulation is filled with the poison and this foe to health hasthe systematits mercy, The blood becomes polluted, thin and weak and its slow, irregular circulation fails to properly nourish and strengthen the body. Then the entire system is attacked, -and if the germs and poisons of Malaria are allowed to remain the strongest constitution will break down. No one can feel well ‘when the system is in a malarial condition; the vitality is_weak, the appetite poor, digestion deranged, _the complexion grows sallow and the entire body feels the effects of the poison.

Chapter 22 of the Revised Laws of Minnesota, 1905, entitled “Forestry and fire wardens,” requires the Forestry Commis- sioner to prepare an abstract of the penal laws relating to forest and prairie fires and he may require any county board to cause at least three weeks published notice thereof to be given. The following is ac- cordingly hereby published: State of Minnesota, office of Forestry Commissioner. St. Paul, Minn., March 15, 1906. The law of the State of Minne- sota for the pravention of forest and prairie fires makes it a mis- demeanor, punishable by fine of not exceeding one hundred dol- lars or imprisonment in jail not exceeding three months, to kindle a fire near forest or prairie land and leave it unquenched. Said law makes town supervisors, village presidents and mayors of cities fire wardens. They are required to inforce its provisions, post notices of its penalties, patrol their districts in dry seasons, go to the place of danger to prevent or control fires, em- ploy or compel assistance in emergencies, investigate and immediately report firos, and make complaint betore a magis- trate of violations of the law when they have requisite information thereof. County attorneys are to assist 1n prosecutions. Every person must comply with a wardens call for assistance unless he has justifiable excuse. Neglect to comply with any of the fore- going duties incurs the penalty first above mentioned. Destruc- tion or defacement of a posted notice incurs . similar penalty. Railroad companies are required to use efficient spark arresters on their locomotive engines, keep their right of ways clear of com- bustible material (except ties), post warning placards conspic- uously at every station in the vicinity of furests and grass lands, and extinguish any fire occuring near their roads subject to forfeiture of notexceeding one hundred dollars for each offence. Fire wardens are responsible for the enforcement of the law in their districts, They should especially endeavor to PREVENT THE SETTING OF FIRES, whether to clear land, (burn meadows or for other purpose in a dry season. i C.

At the union service last even- ing, the church was packed to its limit, and a very large number were compelled to return home, as it was not ipossible for them to secure standing room. The service ‘was very ~impressive, and many returned home with a higher viewof;life. Rev. Hamilton is an eloquent speaker, his easy manner and absence of mannerisms, make him a popular evangelist. The services tonight will begin with a song service by the ckorus choir, directed by the Rev. A. L. Hall-Quest. The workers of the different churches are asked to report to their respective pastors for sug- gestions. “The ' cooperation of all the Christian people,” says Rev. Mr. Hamilton ‘“that these services shall be a source of great bless- ing to the churches and to in- dividuals whose vows have been forgotten and whose ‘religion has been in the bottom of an old trunk.” Palma Proclaimed President, Havana, May 7—The Cuban con- gress in joint session during the day canvassed the electoral returns and proclaimed Tomas.

People in California are still trembling nights in fear of another earthquake, according ‘to Mrs. Adda C. Brown of Wat- sonville, Calif., who has written of her-experiences to Mrs. J. E. Carson of this city. : She gives a vivid portrayal of a city shaken once and now fearful as a woman after a burglar scare. The people hardly dare to go to bed nights, she declares, and when they do venture to retire, they make every preparation to rise again in a hurry at the first alarm. This fearfulness may seem un- warranted to those secure in their Minnesota homes, but the recent horror and the possibility of a fresh ’quake are very real to the people on the coast. No one was killed in Watson- ville in the earthquake, but a ‘| number of buildings were shaken down. Mrs. Brown writes that acrack in the earth two feet wide was opened up immediately in front of her house. She says thatin all they haye felt some 200 distinct quivers of the earth, Warrants Payable.

Indictments Against Sugar and Rail. way Companies. New York, May 7.—Seven indict- ments for violations of the Elkins anti- trust law were found by the April grand Jury in the federal comrt against the following corporations and indi- viduals: The New York Central railroad. The American Sugar Refining com- pany. The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company and Nathan Guilford, vice president of the com- pany. The American Sugar Refining com- pany of New York and C. Goodlee Ed- gar and Edwin Earle, the latter two being wholesale sugar dealers of De- troit, Mich. The New York Central and Hudson River Railroad company -and Nathan Guilford, vice president, and F. L. Pomeroy, general traffic manager. The American Sugar Refining com- pany and the American Sugar Refining company of New York and C. Goodlee Edgar and Edwin Earle. Nathan Guilford, F. L. Pomeroy, C. Goodlee Edgar and Edwin Earle. The first six indictments were found under the “Elkins anti-trust law,” which provides penalties of a fine of not exceeding $10,000 or imprisonment not exceeding two years, for giving, granting, applying for or accepting any rebate or concession from the regnlar freight rates as published by a rail- road company as a common carrier, The seventh indictment found against Guilford, Pomeroy, Edgar and Farle charges them with having col- lectively conspired to violate the pro- visions of the Elkins anti-trust law. It is not probable that any: of the de- fendants will be arrested on a warrant, but all will be notitied by the federal authorities that an indictment has been found and be requested voluntar- ily to appear and give bail tor an ap- pearance at the next term of the fed- eral court in June. AFFECTS HEAD OF _LAKES. Marine Strike Results in Many Firms Laying Off Men. Duluth, May 7.—The Jlake marine strike is_beginning. to be felt at the Head of the Lakes more every day. The shipping of iron ore to the docks is dwindling -to a very small volume. as compared with the last of April But it is said that ore docks are work- ing at South Chicago, Milwaukee and in Buftalo and those will take care of some ore if it is handled at this end. At Two Harbors, Minn., the lake strike is being seriously felt. The ore PEOPLE FEAR TO |HASTINGS HOLDS |BOOM CITY AS RETIRE NIGHTS| TO COUNTY SEAT| SUMMER RESORT Remarkable Termination to Fight in Dakota County. . Hastings, Minn,, May When the county commissioners; in session to consider the petition to remove the county seat from this place to Farmington, ad- journed last evening it looked as though final action would not be talten until some time next week. The interest of spectators lagged to a large extent, therefore, and there were few present to wit- ness the most remarkable ter- mination of a county-seat con- troversy in the history of Minne- sota. General H, C. Childs, senior counsel for the petitioners, arose and, after congratulating each side upon carrying on a fierce, manly and spirited battle, stated that the efforts of the Hastings workers had succeeded in re- ducing the number of signers on the petition below the statutory number, and that, therefore, the petitioners would abandon the fight. In doing this he said his clieats yielded to the necessities of the occasion and, having been beaten, desired to own up and congratulate the victors on their energy and success. From April 10 to April 30, the day the board began its consid- eration of the petition, many more of the leading citizens of Hastings set out to get powers of attorney to withdraw petitioners from the petition, In this they were successful, securing 787 such papers. Farmington went after revocations of the power of attorney and procured 125 revo- cations. To sustain the petition required 2,700 names, or 60 per cent of the 4,000 votes cast at the last general election. The with- drawals which were not cured by subsequent revocations re- duced the number nearly fo 2,400. 7o American Bicyclist Wins. London, May 7.—Frank Krawer of Vailsburg, N.

It is one of the most beautiful spots - I bave seen anywhere in the state.” This declaration was made by D. E. Cuppernull, editor of the Virginia (St. Louis county) Vir- ginian, who spent Saturduy, Sunday and part of today in Be- imidji. Mr. Cuppernull was in town studying daily newspsper conditions with a view to chang- ing his paper in Virginia from a weekly to a daily. % He was much taken with the city and was especially enthusi- astic over the beauties of the lakes. “This seems to me like an ideal spot to spend the summer,” he said in talking with the Pioneer. “If I were situated so that it were possible I would like nothing better than to establish a sum- mer heme here.” “I would like to predict that in the next few years, if your city is advertised properly, it will be- come one of the famous resorts of the state. If youwill take the advice of an outsider you will boom it for all there is in it.” Mr, Cuppernull was somewhat surprised to tind a daily as thriv- ing as the Pioneerin a city the size of Bemidji. “You certainly are giving the people as good a paper as any country city in the state, “he de- clared,” and the paper is betier than most cities of your size can hoast.” The very best of music, the very best of management and the very best time to those who attend.

This is a medi- cine specially prescribed for diseases of womankind. It does not cure eczema, catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis- ease, for it is put up for the single pur- pose of curing diseases peculiar to women, 1t has a reputation of over a third of a century of cures, and has sold more largely on this continent than any other medicine for women. Another point in its favor—it does not contain a single drop of alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. 1t is urely vegetable and perfectly harm- Pesl in any condition of the system. An ‘salcoholic compound for women is something no woman should take and yet “Favorite Prescription” is the only tonic and nervine put up for sale through druggists, especially for wom- an’s weaknesses, that does not contain alcohol and that too in large quantities. Womanly weakness will always bring nervous irritability and & nervous con- dition, for which’ alcohol is the worst thing in the world. What a woman thus afflicted needs is a vegetable tonic and invigorating nervine like Doctor Pierce’s fi"nvoriu Prescription, which will build up-her delicate system and bring about a healthy tone.” It cures the drains and weaknesses of women, also displacements, as prolapsus, ante- version, retroversion, irregular and painful periods and kindred ailments. If you want to know what ails you the United States mail will bring you the best medical advice for only the cost of writing materials and stamps. Many women owe their present good health to the ‘fact that they consulted Dr. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos- sible information about their condition, symptoms, etc., and received in return gomf medical advice which cost them receipts have been cut 25,000 tons daily. - A large number of train crews have been laid off, as well as seventy- five upper dock men.

Pierce, the founder of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y. = iDr. Pierce by no means confines himself to prescribing his well-known Ell'o rietary medicines. He tells you 5.. most common-gense way what ails you, what you ought to do, what 2w Do aler. , line of treatment should be followed out in your particular case, and if your case does mnot indicate the need of his proprietary medicine, he tells you plainly and frankly what you do need, and the best Eouaible method of im- proving your health. If you are a young woman just entering upon the duties of life, you should have good medical advice of a confidential nature. If you’re the mother of children, you may want advice about yourself and how best to put your system in order that your children may be healthy. To sufferers from chronic diseases which do not readily yield to treatment, or to people who are past the youthful stage of life and want confidential advice about their ailments or their-physical condition, Dr. Pierce offers careful con- sideration and the best medical advice within his power, free of cost. «* Favorite Prescription’ is indeed an ideal medicine for women, and by far the best I have known to restore lost health and strength,” writes Mra.

Every ache and pain has gone, and not only this, my gen- eral health has improved.
