Entered in the postofiice at Bemidji. Minn., s second class matter. JUUUUUUUUIUIUUVUUUUUUUIUIPUPIVPVVERERESEES SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM There was an amateur thea- trical performance at Akeley last week, and Editor Scheers, of the Akeley Tvibune, had the temerity to write up the perfor- mance, to considerable length, with fairness to all. The Pio- neer unhesitatingly recommends Bro. Scheers as a good candi- date for judge of the baby show to be held at the Hubbard county fair next fall. No town will become a good business center so long as its business men rely on a few mer- chants to make the effort to bring trade to town. Too often the men ina few lines of trade are about the only ones that reach out after customers. Other merchants wait until these men induce the people to come to town and contend themselves with what naturally drifts to their place. A public spirited man should ask himself if he is doing his part to attract people to come to town and trade in helping the entire business community, and no town is a success unless all lines are working to extend the trade as far as possible and try- ing to bring a larger territory into the circle of which the town is the business center. EDDY SELLS HIS PAPER. Frank M. Eddy, former con- gressman and editor of the Sauk Center Herald, has sold his paper to A. M. Welles, editor of the the Redwood Falls Reyielle. Mr. Eddy is now clerk of the house reapportionment committee and it is understood that later he will be appointed to some federal position.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. The press of the state will re- gret to lose from 1ts ranks so valued a member as Frank M. Eddy. The caustic comments and opinions of Mr. Eddy have been more liberally quoted than those of any other writer in the state, with the possible excep- tion of Granville 8. Pease of the Anoka Union. The ex-congress- man has done much for the re- publican party. He deserves much at the bands of the party; and his brethren in the editorial harness will welcome the an- nouncement that Mr. Eddy is in line for a federal appointment, with a liberal emolument in the form of a fat salary. “GRANNY” PEASE SAYS: The editorial meeting is not what it used to be. The old fel- lows are quitting and the young ones are taking their place, or creating new fields. At the re- cent meeting I couldn’t help but note the many young fellows who are getting into the harness, and I don’t hesitate to say that as a bunch they are a lot of bright, enterprising boys, and T shall be disappointed if I don’t hear good accounts from them all along. But candor compels me to say that if I had my life to live over again, I'd steer clear of a printing office, andas for following newspaper work, not tor me. Can’t recall a newspaper man in all Minnesota who is wealthy as wealth is counted now. Those who started when they did io business, very many of them are rich, but the newspaper man who works early and late, failed to gather in the shekels. I know a newspaper man works harder, more constantly, than most any other class, and gets the poorest reward for his labors than any other class on God’s green earth. But yet, the ranks will be filled at all times, there is a certain charm about the newspaper business which capti- vates many a man, and keeps him under the yoke, no matter how it galls him or what the results.

New York, March 5.—A roundup of tunnel employes and a canvass of the neighborhood revealed the damage wrought when several pounds of dyna- mite exploded at Homestead, N. Saturday night. One man, George Johnson, a switch- man, is missing and is belleved to have been blown to atoms; four per- sons were severely, and twice as many slightly injured; the plant of the Pennsylvania rallroad contractors was wrecked; one house was torn to pleces; 400 houses lost thelr windows, while a half dozen homes and Gever- naud’s silk factory were considerably damaged. The seriously injured were removed to a hospital, where it was said all would recover. The dynamite was the property of Bradley & Sons, the contractors who are building that section of the Penn- sylvania railroad’s North river tun- nel connecting the Jersey side with New York city. It was stored in a frame building twenty by forty feet, located about 1,200 feet from the pro- posed end of the tunnel, where 120 men were working ander ground. None of these were injured. Girls Killed by Train. Madison, Wis,, March 5—While walking down a railroad track arm in arm Catherine Maria Quinn, aged fif- teen, and her cousin, Catherine Mar- garet Quinn, aged sixteen, were struck and killed by a switch engine of the St. Paul road. Catherine Maria was out in two. The other girl was in- jured on the leg and the face. She died a few moments after the accident. Whole Country Devastated. Naples, March 5.—The mountain in the province of Potenza, near Monte- murro, which is slipping into the val- ley, began again to move after hav- ing remained quiescent Saturday night. The roaring of the avalanches was heard for a considerable distance. Trees were uprooted and the ‘whole country was devastated. Five hun- dred persons are homeless. Killed by Revolutionists. Uta, Russla, March 5.—Prison In- spector Kolbe was shot and killed dur- ing the morning by three revolution: ists In front of the door of his resi- dence. One of the assassing was cap- tured. He sald that the inspector had been sentenced to death by the Social Revolutionists on account of his cruelty to political prisoners. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. President Roosevelt has presented Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota with the pen with which he signed the denatured alcohol act. The new Transvaal ministry, of which General Botha, commander-in- chief of the Boer forces, is premier, was sworn in at Pretoria Monday. Floyd K. Whittemore, state treas- urer under Governor Yates and prom- inent in politics for many years, is dead at Springfield, Ill. He was sixty- two years of age. George T. Slade, son-in-law of Pres- ident James J. Hill and general super- intendent of the Great Northern rafl- road, has resigned. The resignation takes effect immedlately. In order to cope with the bandits who have for a long time been com- mitting murders and robberies on the frontier several new brigades of Bel glan gendermes have been formed. Alexis Ivanikoff, a notorlous Rus- slan revolutionist, has been arrested at Berclansk. When taken into cus- tody a trunk containing thirty-five bombs was found in his possession. Frank X. Fitzpatrick, a prominent resident of Cambridge, Mass., has been arrested by government detec- tives on a complaint from Mobile, Ala,, that he conspired to violate the interstate commerce regulations by sending lottery matter from one state to another.

Misery assafls riches as lightning does the highest towers; or, 8s a tree that 18 heavy laden with fruit breaks its own boughs, so do riches destroy the virtue of their possessor.—Burton. S THE KIDNEYS ARE ~ FIRST T0 WEAR 0UT Few Elderly People Know What to Do in These Cases and Should Try This Simple Home Mixture. The great majority of men and women at the age of 50 years be- £in to feel the first signs of ad- vancing age in some form of kid- ney trouble and bladder weak- ness, Few are entirely~ free from that torturous disease, rheumatism, which is not a disease 1 itself, buta symptom of deranged function of the kid- neys which have become clogged and sluggish, failing in their duty of sifting and straining the poisonous waste matter, uric acid, etc., from the blood, per. mitting it to remain and decom- pose, settling about the joints and muscles, causing intense pain and suffering. The bladder, however, causes the old folks the most annoyance. especially at night and early morning. A noted authority in a recent article stated that he has wonder- ful success with the old-time ‘“vegetable treatment.” He states: “Of sigteen cases of bladder troubles and rhevmatism which have been treated with this treatment only one very complicated case failed to fully yield to its remarkable influence. Itis the most harmless treat- ment I have ever found to clean the system of rheumatic poisons; remove irritation of the bladder and relieve urinary difficulties of the old people. It is a true vital- izing tonic to the entire kidney and urinary structure, reinvigor ating the entire system.” What he terms ‘“‘old vegetable .| treatment”’ consists of the fol- lowing simple prescription, the ingredients in which can be ob- fained from any good pharmacy at small cost: Compound Kar- gon, ene ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com- pound SyrupSarsaparilla, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and upon geing to bed, “also ‘drink plenty of water. This prescription, though simple, is always effective in the diseases’ and afflictions of the kidneys and bladder. Persistent. A middle aged man stopped at the subpostoffice in the north end and asked if there was anything for the Murphys. “No, there is not,” said the man at the window. z “Anything for Jane Murphy?” ‘No.” “Anything for Anne Murphy?” “No “Anything for Bob Murphy ?” “No.” “Anything for Terry?” “No, nor for Pat nor for Dennis nor Pete nor Matt nor Edward Murphy. There s nothing for any Murphy, dead, ving or unborn, native or foreign, clv- 1lized or savage, male or female, black or white, franchised or disfranchised. No, there is positively nothing for any of the Murphys, either Individually, collectively, severally, now and for- ever, one and inseparable.” The little man on the outside of the ‘window looked amazed and then in a persuasive voice said, ‘‘Please look and see if there is anything for P. J. Mur- phy.”—Columbus Dispatch. Almost a Miracl A good hearted curate who firmly belleved that God was continually . working miracles to enable him to help the needy and who seldom had a coin in his pocket, though he was never de- vold of the fire of charity in his heart, was accosted one day by a beggar wo- man. He pleaded utter lack of money and sadly turned aside, but on the mendicant beseeching him to search his pockets he hopelessly put his hand in one and, to his amazement and joy, found a five shilling plece there. “Another of God’s miracles,” he ex- claimed, and then, addressing the wo- man: “This coin belongs to you of right. Take it and go in peace.” Hav- ing told the story a few hours later to his worldly minded vicar and suggest- ed that they should both go down on their knees and render thanks to God, a strange unpleasant light suddenly broke on the mind of the shrewd pas- tor, who exclaimed in accents not sug- gestive of thanksgiving, “Good Lord, are those my breeches that you've on you?’—Contemporary Review. “Ducks and Drakes.’ The origin of the common saying “Making ducks and drakes with one's money” fs attributed to a game de- scribed in the words of an old writer as “a kind of sport or play with an olster shell or stone thrown into water and making circles yer it sinke.” If the stone emerges once, it is a duck; if 1t emerges more than once, the game proceeds according to the following rhyme: 1,2, A duck and a drake; 8, And a halfpenny cake; 4, And a penny to pay the old baker; 5, A hop an a scotch Is another notch; 6, Blitherum, slatherum! Take her! The game s evidently the same as that played even today by every boy ‘who has access to a pond or a quiet river when he tries to make a smooth b stone skip along the surface of the water. Its connection with the pop- ular phrase 1s, of course, only a meta- phorical one to Indicate heedlessness in the use of money. “To the Bitter End.” One of the most interesting phases of the study of language Is the peculiar manner in which words and plrases origlnating in mistakes finally grow into ‘the common speech of the people. An instance of this is the expression ‘“to the bitter end,” which is common- ly used to denote the final extremity of a crisis. Although perfectly proper today, it i Uty 2 mistake. The correct phi is “to tie better end” and arose from the fact that when a vessel has paid out all her cable in a storm it has run out to the end which has been little used and therefore to the better end. Daniel Defoe uses the proper phrase in “Robinson Crusoe” In his description of the storm at Yar- mouth when he says, “We rode with two anchors ahead and the cables veer- ed out to the better end.” Romance of the Cigar. A bride of a year ago gave her hus- band a box of long, lean and sickly look- ing cigars for a birthday present. The man smelled them, looked at the label and then, with tears in his eyes, said: “I cannot bear to smoke your present. I will keep them always as a token of your love.” His wife was so touched that she went down town and ordered three boxes of the same brand and had them charged to her husband. When she gave them to him she said: “Here, dear; these are not a present. Smoke them and enjoy them.”—Topeka State Journal, Homeric Symbol. You know the fine picture in Homer of the dead leaves which fall to make place for the young buds. It is as true of men as of trees; we have our time and pass away. Behind our vanished youth germinates the youth of others. Our children’s destiny ought not to be dulled by what there has been in ours. —Revue des Deux Mondes. A Lever. “Is that baby strong?” “Well, I should say so! He raised the whole family out of bed at 3 o’clock this morning, and sclentists say that that's the hour ‘when everybody's strength is at its lowest point.”—Lon- don Answers, Giving It Away. The Young Man—Dicky, you think a good deal of your sister, don’t you? Dicky (entertaining him)—You bet! So does ma and pa. She's been in the fam’ly mighty near forty years.—Chi- cago Tribune. An obstinate fruit stain can gener- ally be removed by holding the spot over the fumes of sulphur. A Crimean Incident. Many are the deeds of heroism re- corded in Sir Evelyn Wood’s story of his rise “From Mldshipman to Field Marshal,” but none more thrilling than an incident of the fighting in the Cri- mea. “Look out! ‘Whistling Dick!” was the warning that was shouted one day, and at the call, which referred to a certain huge mortar which had been shelling them, every one in hearing rushed for shelter. All succeeded in gaining the trenches except young Blewitt of H. M. 8. Queen. Him the spent shell caught under the knees and pinned to the ground. “Stephen, Stephen,” he called to Ste- phen Welch, “do not leave me to die!” The fuse of the thirteen inch shel! was hissing, but Welch did not hesi- tate a second. “Come on, lads! Let’s try!" he shout- ed and, leaping from tle trench, began tugging with all his strength at the big mass of iron. At that instant it burst, and of neither man was a fragment seen again.
