PUBLIEHED NVERY AFTENBNOON, BEMIDJI PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By CLYDE J._PRYOR. Tatered in the postoffice at Bemidijl. Minn., s second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM THE PRIMARY ELECTION. The primary election for the nomination of congressional, legis- lative, judicial and county candidates by political parties will be held tomorrow. ‘ The election in Beltrami county has been a spirited one, in many respects, but on the whole, as far as the Pioneer is concerned, has been conducted in a fair manner. ~ With the possible exception of the candi- dates for the legislature and the judgeship, the Pioneer has been treated in a gentlemanly maaner, and has no feeling whatever against any of the other candidates or their representatives. In the legislative contest, the Pioneer started a clean campaign for the nomination of Henry Funkley of this city. Whereat J. J. Opsahl, the present incumbent, got control of the Bemidji Sentinel and started sling- ing mud at both the Pioneer and Mr. Funkley, asserting that the Pioneer was “‘unfair,” etc., ad lib., and not hesitating to make a vicious onslaught on both. The Pioneer has answered Opsahl’s various har- raunges, except the lengthy one, wherein he ranted to the extent of some five or six columns of leaded long primer, actually saying nothing tangible. The gentleman has seen fit to attack personally everyone who has dared to hint that they might be against him, and among others, as- sailed the secretary of the Beltrami County Tax League. The secretary gets back at Mr. Opsahl by insinu- ating that he (Mr. Opsahl) was a traitor to the league; that he never contributed one cent to the support of the league, and that he was using the situation for purely political pur- poses—all of which is interesting reading for Mr. Opsahl’s friends. Whether Mr. Opsahl wins or loses in this contest, he will never have the same standing with the Pioneer as previous to the election, his acts having forfeited any real esteem which we may have had for him. In the judicial contest, the Pioneer’s especial activity in the past against Mr. Thwing may be directly attributed to the acts of J. J. Cameron, Mr. Thwing’s man- ager. This latter gentleman has always “knocked” the Pioneer, since the present management has been in charge. When Messrs. Wright and Thwing announced their candidacy, Mr. Cameron seemed to think it was incumbent upon him to get busy with his knocker and make assertions concerning the Pioneer that were very nearly libelous in character, he capping the climax of his vitrolic attitude by coming into the Pioneer office and actually threatening to horsewhip the crippled manager of this paper—and that when no other able-bodied man was present, This attitude has been uppermost in Mr. Cameron’s mind ever since the campaign started, and has caused Mr. Thwing much more opposition than he would otherwise have en- countered. The remainder of the candidates have beed on good termes, mostly, with the Pioneer and after the elec- tion is over, the pipe of peace can be smoked and each resume the even tenor of his way. “Politics make strange bed- fellows,” and some who enter the political arena should never be there; but on the whole the avereage pol- stician is a pretty good fellow. “EE(}E“EEEEEEEE‘&?‘(‘!& ¥ Political Announcements } CANDIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER I hereby announce myself as a can- didate for county commissioner from the Fourth commissioner district, sub- Ject to the will of the voters at the primary election to be held September 15.

PROTESTANTS APPEAL T0 HOME SECRETARY Would Prevent Catholic Proces- " sion in London, Tondon, Sept. 1 .—The Protestant alliance, continuing its opposition to the appearance of the host in the pro- cession to he held in this city next Sunday in connection with the Euchar- istic congress, telegraphed an appeal to the home secretary to prevent the carrying of the host and the wearing of vestments on this occasion. The appeal says: “The Protestant- feeling in London and the provinces, as you doubtless are aware, has increased enormously since Tuesday and the country is now looking to vou to prevent the law of the land being broken.” The appeal concludes with these words: *“Any other course will involve grave danger to the public safety. If riot and disorder should result the respon- sibility will rest with the home office, which has had ample warning of the state of feeling in London.” Some sensation has been caused here by the publication of a letter re- ceived by the secretary of the alliance and signed by a man claiming to be secretary of the “Catholic Anti-Bigotry society.” in which the leading mem- bers of the alliance are threatened with death if the procession is inter- fered with. The writer is supposed to be a crank. New Bridge Cost Many Lives.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS. Don t Mistake the Cause of Your Trbu- bles.—A Bemidji Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidney. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. .= You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Bright’s disease. The best remedy to use is Doan’s Kid- ney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Bemidji people testify to permanent cures. Mrs. E. E. Hanks, living at 223 Park Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “'I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills and the relief I received from their use was very great. There wasa dull pain in the small of my back, which caused me much suffering and I became so dizzy at times that dark objects would float before my eyes. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney Pills I procured a box at the Owl Drug Store and felt much better in every way after using them. My usual strength and ambition has returned and it gives me pleasure to recom- mend them.” For sale by all dealers. 50 cents..

Heidelberg, Sept. 12.—An act of re- venge on the part of an Italian la- borer because he considered he had been dismissed without cause has cost the government of Baden the sum of $875,000. The government has been construct- ing a raflroad tunnel through the Black Forest mountains, working in from each end to meet in the center. It was discovered that the two halves, which should come together at the village of Forbach, miss each other by twenty-six feet. The reason is a mis- take in the survey which arose from the purposeful misplacing of a sur- veying pin. This act was the work of the Italian, who had a grudge against the government.
