THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEET BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1907 MURDER SUSPECTS GIVEN HEARING; CASES GO OVER Cyr and Fournier Will Plead at Prelinf?.“’fefx History. iving to Be Held January 31---Reported that ‘‘Shorty’” We._ey Was Killed in Upper Michigan, Recently. The arrest of Paul Fournier and George Cyr and their incar- ceration in the county jail, on the charge of having killed N. O. Dahl and his daughter Aagot, has caused a decided sensation 1 this city, and the possibility of the county authorities being able to clear up the mystery sur- rounding the murders has been bailed with satisfaction. At the time the bodies of the Dahl’s ware found, feeling ran high concerning the brutal man- ner in which they had been made away with, and had the guilty parties b-en actually discovered ad thas time, it is more than likely that Judge Lynch would have held an impromptu court. Although the matter has been apparently lost sight of by other occarrences, it has always been thought by parties familiar with the circumstances surrounding the murder that it would only be a question of time when some- one directly connected with the crimes would reveal the identity of the true murderers; and .while County Attorney Henry Funk- ley is very reticent concerning the information he possesses, he expresses confidence that the matter will be cleared up. Fournier. and Cyr were taken before O. M. Skinvik, justice of the peace, this morning, where, at the request of the county at- torney, the cases against them were continued until January 31. Neither of the men show any signs of being at all worried over their arrest and are holding theirown counsel. They have em- ployed G. W. Campbell as.their attorney. In connection with the arrests that have been made in the past, it is stated that “Shorty’’ Wes- ley, who was held for several months on the charge of being one of the murderers and was subsequently released, was shot and ‘instantly killed during a drunken row in-an upper Michi- gen town. TRIS IS SAID TO CURE RHEUMATISM Fine Prescription Overcomes Rheu- matism and Kidney Trouble and Anyone Can Mix it at Home. A large Eastern publication tcl's its readers of & number. of gimple and safe prescriptions that can be made at home, The following, however, for the cure! o! rheumatism and kidney and bizdder troubles receives the greatest praise,. viz, Fluid Bx- tiact Dandelion, one-half ounce; C :mpound Kargon one ounce; C,mpound Syrup Sarsaparills, three ounces. These simple vegetable ingredients can be ob- tained at any good prescription pharmacy st little cost and are mixed by shaking wellin abottle. The dose for adults is a tea- spoonful after each meal and at bedtime, drinking & full tumbler- ful of water after each dose. It is further stated that this pre- scription is a positive remedy for kidney trouble and lame " back, weak bladder and urinary diffi- culties, especially of the elderly people, and one of the best things to be used -in rheumatic afilictions relieving the aches and pains and reducing swellings in just a short while, A well-known local druggist states that the Compound Kargon in it does the work. It is the drug which acts directly upon the eliminative tissues of the kidneys; cleanses the ‘spongelike organs and gives them power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid - from the blood which is-the cause of rheumatism. Cut this out and hand to some sufferer which would certainly be an act of humanity. Funeral of Mrs. Walker. The funeral of Mrs. W. A. Walker, who died at St. Anthony’s hospital Sunday even- ing as the result of.the shock from am operation, was held at the city hall this afternoon: at 2 o’clock. There was a large attendance at the services, which were con. ducted by Rev. Murpby of Grand Rapids. The speaker mentioned. the exemplary life of the" de- ceased, and told of the reward promised in the Bible to those who lived a proper life. At the conclusion of the ser- vices, the body was. taken to Greenwood cemetery, where the interment took place. HOMESTEADERS ALLOWED THREE MONTHS' ABSENGE Under a New Law, Homesteaders May Go Back to “Civilization” During the Winter. The general’ land office -at Washmgum has-taken cognizance of the hardehips .experienced. by the settlers on the northern Minnesota claims during the cold months of the winter, and has issued a letter in which per- mission is given for 'a settler to leave his land for three months, without danger of being ‘‘yump- ed’” or involved in a contest. The following is a cooy ofa telegram received at Cass Lake U. 8. land office relative to the matter: “Washington, D. C., Jan. 19, 1907 To Register and Receiver, £ Cass Lake, Minn, Homestead settlers in your dis- trict are granted leave of absence from their land, for a period of three months from January 18, provided that the period of actual absence shall not be deducted from the full time of residence required by law. Applications ler leave not necessary. (Signed,) G, F. Polleck, Acting Commissioner,"” Relative to the abovea Wash- ington telegram published in a twin city paper, says: “President Roosevelt having signed the joint. resolution of congress authorizing three months’ absence by homestead settlers for four or five states in the northwest during the three months of the severe winter sea- son without making 'the entry men liable to lose their land, a new question has arison whether the provisions of this new law apply to-entry men who.have not yet taken up residence. Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota, chairman ‘of the public lands committee; today had telegrams sent to the local land office in North Dakota ‘advising these officials of the new law becoming operative, and instructing them that it does not apply to ‘persons who have filed applications for entry but have not yet gone up- on.the lands, Senator Hans. brough believes that - such entry men should be embraced within the terms of the law, because it is unreasonable to suppose that if conditions are such that home- steaders cannot remain - on their lands that entry men- should be' NORMAL SCHOOL WOULD BE OF GREAT BENEFIT County Superintendent Stewart Tells of the Many Benefits That Would Accrue to Bemidji. EDITOR PIONEER:— The importauce of a normal school to. Bemidji .and . vicinity. may be given but a passing thought by many persons ‘ with- out realizing. the benefits to' be derived from such an institution located within'our midst. In the first place, a normal school may be considered a community with- in itself, composed of teachers, students and common laborers. A well-equipped normal school plant would require eight or ten acres of ground. This area would be dotted with buildings, laid out with walks and - drives, planted with trees and ‘shrubery and kept; up a.ttar the manner :of a park. Among the bufldmgs reéquired may be mentioned ‘a recitation hall, including an auditorium and hibrary or reading - room. A dormitory -is. provided -for the girls who prefer to live a com- munity life near the school build- ing, To remove the danger ot fire a separate. building for the heating" plant is- generally pro- “|vided.” To those mentioned may be added a president’s mansion and such other buildings as ‘are necessary for the growth of the school, The greatest benefit- of such an institution would " be to the business menfof our city. It costs approximately $325 a pupil; per year, at a normal school. . In some schools it is less; while “in others it is more, ‘especially where the tendency is, asin ‘this state,.to run_the school -nearly’ elevén ‘motths inghid year. . The |- attendance after the first year o 80 ought to reach 250 pupils and| this number-would increase from year to year, - Calculating ' the cost of 250 pupils approzimately at $825 each is $81,250. To this account it would be safe to add at least $20,000 for teachers “and other expenditures of a local nature, making a total sum ‘of $101,250 which would circulate among the business men of our city yearly with a probable in- crease from-year to-year, - from | such an institution, all of which is to be had for the asking. In some of the smaller towns, the revenue derived from the normal school furnishes the -main ele- ment of support. There is also a great ‘demand for the products of the' farm, and for this reason the neighbor- ing country is benefitted and stimulated to greater production of crops and therefore becomes more prosperous, ES Another ~benefit, of not so material a nature, however, is the advertising such an institu- tion gives a city. People will come here to enjoy the school advantages and are.sure to . take away with them a good word for our city. It becomes an attrac- tion for educational people who otherwise might never visit here. More people will establish homes here because of ‘the eddcational advantages thus afforded. .In this way we will become a stronger and- better established city and will thus add materially to its welfare and prosperty. —W.
