Jewell is but eighteen years of age and is the son of respectable parents in Chicago, his father being a member of the civil service commission in Chicago. Salaries of the ‘‘Engineers.” Since the publication of the salaries in Tuesday’s daily a number have been led to believe that the salary of “city engineer”’ and “assistant” pertained to the salary paid to M. D. Stoner and his workmen. This isnot the case as the engineer and his assistant are J. J. McElroy and Tim Quinn who are constintly at the city hall and look after the fire engine. The work done by Mr. Stoner and his assistants 1sl ing” Is Completed and Is Pride of Town: Kelliher, Jan 24.—(Special to the Pioneer.)—The residents of Kelliher are justly proud of their new $6,000 school house, which was recently completed and is now in the hands of the school board for acceptance. The building is one of the most substantial, in Beltrami county and will compare very favorably with any in this north country, outside the city of Be- midji. . One of the commendable features of the school building is the large auditorium, which will be used for public gatherings. This auditorium will be - dedi- cated to public use Friday even- ing, when an opening ball will be given by the citizens of Kelliher, to which invitations have been issued to the residents of outside cities and towns as well as the home people. For the ball, the famous Black- duck orchestra has been engaged to furnish the music, and = the committee having the affair in charge is leaving nothing un- turned to make the event one long to be remembered in con- nection with the advancement of our little city. It is expected that a large crowd of people will be in at- tendance, which will include guests from Funkley, Northome, Blackduck and Bemidji. Marriage Licenses. Clerk of Baptist church officiating.

Kelliher Journal: That steam log haulers are a success and have come to stay,jand will here- after be found in most well- equipped logging outfits has been proven beyond a doubt, the trial trips of the machines having proved successful, performing all the work required of them. This week the Ross & Ress Cedar company received a hauler similar to that purchased by the Beltrami Cedar & Land company, and this machine has also proven entirely successful, and demon- strated ‘its superiority ‘over horses, on a straight haul. And especially this winter should the new miachines prove their worth, when the price of horse flesh and |laborers is almost prohibitive. The haulers are capable of carry- ing ten heavily loaded logging sleighs, atan average speed of six miles per hour. A Snail’s Sense of Smell. Professor B. Yung of Geneva diseov- ered that the keen sense of smell attrib- uted to the ordinary snall is distributed over the entire body not covered by the shell, the two pairs of tentacles, the lips and the edges of the feet being particularly sensitive. . In the experi- ments made a brush dipped in various odorous substances in turn was brought near the different parts of the body, and responses were noted at distances of one twenty-fifth of an inch to-several Inches. Oniy in exceptional cases was odor percelved as much as fifteen or twenty inches away, showing that smell cannot guide these creatures to food far removed. ‘rne Doss, “There’s & man at the door, pa,” call- | ed little Willle from the lower hall, “who - wants to see the boss of tha house!” “Tell your mother .’ called pa. > “Tell the -cook,” promptiy called his mother.—Philadelphia Press. see you today, papa,” said little Ethel, who met her father in the hall as he came home. “Did he have a bill?” “No, papa.

HOME MADE REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM Torelieve the worst forms of Rheumatism, take a tea- spoonful of the following - mixture after each meal and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one. half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, | tbree ounces. Shake well in a bottle. These harmless - ingre- dients can be obtained from any good pharmacy. This prescription, states & well-known authority, forces the clogged-up in- active kidneys to filter and strain from the blood the poisonous waste matter and uric- acid, which causes Rheumatism. - Relief is felt ' from the first few doses. It is said that a person who would _ take ‘this pre- scription regularly, a dose or two daily, or even a few times a ‘week, would never have serious KXidney or Urinary disorders or Rheu- matism. Cut this out and preserve it. Good Rheumatism pre- scriptions which really re- lieye are scarce, indeed, and when you need it, you want it badly. ‘Northern CLOTHING HOUSE Half Yearly Clearanee Sale o OF i B.
