SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM INCREASED PAY -OF LEGISLATORS. The Brainerd Dispatch says of the salaries paid to- members of the legislature: “The law in regard to the pay of legislators in this state has been changed so that in future their compensation will be $1,000 for the term, or $500 per year, which is twice the amount formerly received by them. The law provides that $250 of this amount is payable on the 1st of February, and $250 on the 15th of March of each of the Some of the legislators- elect seem to think they should be allowed to draw the entire amount during their stay at St. Paul while the legislature is actually in session, and an attempt will probably be made to amend it. Legislators are elected for two yearsand the law- making body which fixed the salary basis probably thought it would be as unwise to pay them in advance for the two year’s work as it would for a farmer to pay his hired man in that way. Either one might die.” NOT MUCH ACCOUNT. The following, which is going the rounds of the press, is a pretty truthful statement of the man who doesn’t appreciate his home paper: “When you hear a man sneering at the local paper because it is not big, cheap and newsy as the city papers, you can safely bet he does not squander any of his wealth in assisting to make it better and that generally the paper has done more for him than he has for it. The man who cannot see the benefits arising from a local news- paper is about as much value to the town as a delinquent tax list.” — fHIS IN NEW YORK CITY Four Desperadoes Hold Up Crowded Street Car. New York, Dec. 2—Four despera- does armed with revolvers held up a crowded street car in Lower Third avenue, throttled and robbed the con- ductor, terrorized the passengers and escaped with a goodly collection of purses and other valuables, A large number of men and women who had Just left a dance hall crowded on the car at Third street. Every seat was taken and the aisle was filled. Just betore the car reached Houston street and while the conductor was inside collecting fares four men who had been scattered through the crowd started towards the rear door. When they had completely blocked the exit the men drew revolvers and covered the passengers. Two of them at- tacked the conductor, one pressing a revolver against his head while the other pushed him through a window and rifled his pockets. In the mean- time the other two had robbed the passengers of valuables of all descrip- tions. Their pockets were stuffed with women’s purses, watches and small wads of bills when the screams of the women so frightened them that they bolted from the car and dashed down a side street and disappeared. EVER WATCHFUL. A Little Care Will Save Many Bemidji Readers Future Trouble. Watch the kidney secretions. See that they have amber hue of health; The discharges not excessive or nfrequent; Contain no sediment. Doan’s Kidney Pills will do this for you. They watch the kidneys and cure them when they’re sick. Mrs. Anna A. Buell, living at 613 Second St.,, Bemidji, Minn,, says: «I suffered from kidney trouble tor several vears, not sev- erly at any time, but having dull pains in the small of my back, which caused me much discomfort. The kidney secretions were very unaturalin appearance and plainly showed that my kidneys were not in a healthy condition. I finally made up my mind to try Doan’s Kidney Pills and ‘procured a box at the Owl Drug Store. Ireceived such beniticial results from their use that I procured a further sup- ply and am now in the very best of health* Doan’s Kidney Pilis strengtheded my back and kidneys and toned up my whole system.

The people have already derhon- strated that they would rather trust a man who is naturally honest, than one who was honest only because he had to be. Barker’s Drug store has a firmly established reputation for squrre dealing and sterling honesty. When they told the people that Rexall Remedies are the purest and most dependable remedies that- it is possible for modern science to pro- duce, and that they would tell the public exactly’ what each one of these 300 remedies contained, and that they sold Rexall Remedies on their own personal guarantee that they would give entire satisfaction or the medicine would . not cost the user a single cent, they were believed. Ever since this announcement Barker’s Drug store has been crowded by people buying Rexall Remedies; all of which proves that Barker’s Drug store has the con- fidence of the people and that honesty is the best policy. There is no “‘cnre-all” among the Rexall Remedies—there are 300 different and -seperate medicines; one for each human ill, and each unquestionably the best of its kind. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are par- ticularly recommended for the posi- tive cure of stomach irritation, in- digestion and dyspepsir. They are rich in Bismuth, subnitrate, Pepsin and Carminatives, and are prepared by a special process which perfects and enhances the great curative value of these well-known medicinal agents. This remedy sells for 25c a package. Everyone suffering from a stomach disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia tablets, inasmuch as they cost nothing if they do not satisfy. Barker’s Drug store is certainly fortunate in securing control of these remedies, and we urge everyone in need of medicine to investigate and take advantage of their frank and generous offer.

PLAGED IN THE _ CLASSIFIED LIST Order Relating to Fourth Class Postmasters. AFFECTS CERTAIN STATES President Roosevelt Takes First Step Intended Eventually to Cover the Entire Country—Present bents Are Exempt; but All Appoint- ees in the Future Must Undergo Civil Service Examinations. ‘Washington, Dec. 2.—All fourth class postmasters in the states east.of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio river have been placed in the classified service by an executive or- der of’the president. Hereafter all the appointees to fourth class post- masterships in those states must un- dergo civil service examination. Post- masters now holding office will not need to take the examinations. This applies to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Isl- and, Connecticut, New York, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illi-{ nois, Wisconsin and Michigan. More than 15,000 fourth class post- masters are affected by the order, dis- tributed by states as follows: Maine, 893; New Hampshire, 414; Vermont, 395; Massachusetts, 550; Rhode Island, 100; Connecticut, 287; New York, 2,301; New Jersey, 636; Pennsylvania, 3,388; Ohio, 1,693; Indi- ana,” 1,084; Illinois, 1,505; Wisconsin, 1,008, and Michigan, 1,234.

The section included ‘within the order was selected because the department has experienced less | difficulty in getting eligibles for the rural service than elsewhere. It, how- ever, was stated at the department that the president’s order was the beginning of a policy to eventually in- clude all postoffices. where the salary. 1s less than $1,000 in the classified service. TO CONTROL GRAIN TRADE Canada Spends $200,000,000 for Rail- roads and Canals. Chicago, Dec. 2.—Quietly and de- liberately Canada has been &pending something like $200,000,000 for canals and railroads with a view to handling the great wheat business of the North- west, according to R. F. Sutherland, speaker of ‘the Dominion -house of commons. And ° now, says Canada’s “Uncle Joe,” the Dominion is in a position to demand some of the attention which its natural resources deserve. The result, he intimated, would .be that the United States would lose the grain business which has meant so much to the Northwestern states in years past. These remarks were sandwiched into a speech in which Speaker-Suta- erland lauded Scotland and the Scots at the annual banquet of the Illinois Society of St. Andrew. { Chief of Police in Custody. Simcoe, Ont,, Dec. 2.—An extraor- dinary shooting affray took place here as a result of which Police Constable ‘Wilkins is probably dying with four bullets in his body and Chief of Po- lice Malone is in custody charged with attempted murder.

The child may retire with nothing but a slight cold and a few hours later the family be aroused by the ominous symptoms. Every home where there are small children should be prepared for these sud- den attacks, as prompt treatment is necessary. Do not experiment with remedies of doubtful value, but get CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY 3 . that has been in use for nearly forty years and never known to fail. Mr. Homer Krohn, of Lisbon, Towa, in a letter to the manufac- turers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy praises this medicine for i what it has done for his children, He says: “It has not only saved them once but many a time. Only two weeks ago my boy had the croup so bad in the night that had it not been for having a bottle of Chamberlain’s Coufih Remedy in the house he would have choked Dbefore a doctor could have gotten to the house. It is a medicine that no one should be without at any time.” It is pleasant to take and many children like it. “We tee every bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough ~Remedy,” says W. M. Parish, Palmerston, ‘Ontario. “‘Out of the many bottles sold last winter not one was re- turned. We recommend it espe- cially for children with croup.” Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is famous for its prompt cures of coughs, colds and croup. When given as soon as the child becomes hoarse an attack of croup may be averted. This medicine is entirely free from narcotics or injurious sub- stances of any kind and may be given to the Iittle ones with abso- Tute safety. i 1] Attacks of croup are most likely to occur during the early winter months, and every family with young children should be prepared for it. Keep a bottle of CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY in your home. It only costs a quarter, large size 50 cents. Your druggist sells “:t."
