THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER PUBLISHED NVERY AFTHRNOON, BEMIDII PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By CLYDE J. PRYOR. Totered in the postoffice at Bemidji. Minn., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM STRONG ENDORSEMENT OF PIONEER MAGAZINE EDITION. The Pioneer may be pardoned some little pride in reproducing the following excerpt, taken from the Minneapolis Journal, commendatory of the recent magazine edition of the Pioneer: “The Bemidji (Minn.) Pioneer has issued in bound form an agri- cultural and industrial edition that is a credit to the paper and to the state. Bemidji is in a comparatively new part of Minnesota. It is in those northern sections, not so long ago denominated wilds. But today it is a bustling town, whose mer- chants and citizens are able to sup- port a newspaper better than can be found in half the eastern towns of two or three times its population. Bemidji is the center of a very pro- ductive region, It has become within a few years a remarkable railroad hub. Itis attracting man- ufacturing industries. Its farming surroundings are first class. It seems bound to develop into a fine city, having the goods to deliver and the class of population that will spare no pains to exploit its advantages. One of the greatest assets of a town of this character is a live newspaper. Bemidji has this kind in the Pioneer, which has been issued thirteen years as a weekly, and six years as a daily, and has always been successful.” 1909 BLUE BOOK FINE PUBLICATION. Hon. Julius Schmahl, secretary of state} has just issued the 1909 blue book, which is now ready for distri- bution; and Mr. Schmahl may feel proud of this year’s publication, which outshines any previous blue book in the history of the state. In addition to the usual information which has always appeared in the book, this year’s edition contains many new features, which include a complete list of state and national banks doing business in the state, and there is also the names of all the principal officials of every state in the union. The Pioneer acknow- ledges the receipt of 2 copy of the manual, and cannot but point the many improvements which the genial secretary has made on the book. Julins is a “‘crackerjack” in the re- sponsible position which he now occupies. = TWENTY-ONE ARE MISSING British Vessel Strikes Derelict Off South American Coast.

WELCOME MOST " ENTHUSIASTIC Ex-President Roosevelt Ar- rives at Naples. - CITY GAILY DECORATED American Flags Are Flying From the Hotels and Many Private ‘Residences and the Ships in the Bay Make a Brilliant Showing — Distinguished Visitor Greeted by United States Ambassador Griscom. Naples, April 6.—Naples is intent on extending an enthusiastic welcome to Theodere Roosevelt, who arrived here on board the steamer Hamburg on his way from New York to Mom- basa. It is calculated that fully 5,000 foreigners have come into the city, especially from Capri, Sorrento and Amalfi, in the hope of catching a glimpse of the distinguished traveler. The Hamburg was given a noisy and hearty greeting from ships and shore as she steamed into the bay and dropped anchor. American flags are flying from the consulate, all the ho- tels.and many private houses in honor of Mr. Roosevelt and the ships in the bay are gaily decorated with bunting. The American gunboat Scorpion makes a brilliant showing with lines of flut- tering flags from stem to stern. As soon as the Hamburg was sight- ed around Capri the interest of the walting crowds became intense. The people had congregated along the docks and at various points in the city whence a view of the bay could be obtained and when the Hamburg was identified a general roar of wel- come went up from thousands of throats. ‘When the Hamburg had come to an anchor a launch from the Scorpion under command of Lieutenant Com- mander George W. Logan, the cap- tain of the gunboat, put out from the arsenal. On board were Ambassador Griscom and the members of his party. Arriving at the Hamburg the visitors were received by Captain Burmeister, who at once conducted them to Mr. Roosevelt’s cabin. Mr. Griscom greeted Mr. Roosevelt with great cordiality and expressed his pleasure at seeing him. Herr Steifensand, the German con- sul at Naples, was among the first to come out to the Hamburg. He greet- ed Mr. Roosevelt in the name of Em- peror Willlam and the German gov- ernment. Mr. Roosevelt appeared to be exceedingly pleased with this wel- come and sent bis homage to the em- peror. PROTESTS READ IN SENATE Michigan Objects to Free Iron Ore and Minnesota to Free Barley. ‘Washington, April 6. — Protests against the Payne tariff bill were prominent in the proceedings of the senate. Senator Willlam Alden Smith had read a vigorous declaration of some of the iron ore interests of Mich- igan against placing that product on the free list and Senator Clapp pre- sented an equally strong petition from bis constituents of Minnesota object- ing to taking the protective tariff tax from barley. Killed in Auto Accident. Tarrytown, N. Y. April 6—The crashing into a tree of an automobile sald by eyewitnesses to have been racing at a speed of forty miles an hour caused the death of Charles Lin- dow, a chauffeur, and serious injury to John D. Marquis, the other occu- pant of the machine, both of New York. Lindow’s neck was broken. Parents Separate, Boy Ends Life. New York, April 6.—William Cooper, sixteen years old, committed suicide at his home in Williamsburg by stran- gling himself with a piece of clothes- line. The boy’s love for his mother end his separation from her since his father obtained a divorce are believed by his father to have been the causa. HOME CURE FOR ECZEMA 0il of Wintergreen, Thymol, Glycerine, Etc., Used as a Simple Wash, It really seems strange that so many people suffer year in and year out with eczema, when it is now no longer a secret that oil of wintergreen mixed with thymol, glycerine, etc., makes a wash that is bound to cure. Old, obstinate cases, it is true, cannot be cured in a few days, but there is absolutely no- sufferer from eczema who_ever used this simple wash and. did not find immediately that wouderfully soothing, calm, cool sensation that comes when the itch is allayed. There is no need of experiment—the patient knows at once. Instead of trying*to compound the oil of wintergreen, thymol, glycerne, etc., in the right pro- portions ourselves we are using a prescription which is universally found the most effective. It is known as the D. D. D.. Prescrip- tion, or Oil of Wintergreen Com- pound. It is made by the D, D. D, Co. of Chicago, and our long experience with this remedy has given us great confidence in its merits, Barkers Drug Store. NEGROES STARTED BIG FIRE Blaze at Fort Worth, Tex., Causes Loss of $3,000,000. Fort Worth, Tex., April 8.—Investi- gation following the fire here which caused over $3,000,000 loss revealed the fact that the Texas and Pacific railroad lost thirty-five instead of: *| twenty engines in the destruction of their roundhouse. This makes the rallroad’s total ‘loss $250,000. Two hundred children were unable to at- tend school because of books and clothing lost in the fire. 2 A party of negroes reported to the police that the fire was incendiary and was started by negroes for malic- ous purposes. The negroes threaten to lynch any negro proven guilty by the police investigation. HER INJURIES ARE_-FA_TAL Mother Attempts to Kill Four Chil- dren and Herself. Johnstown, Pa., April 6.—Mrs. Will- fam Roberts, thirty years old, threw her four children, ranging in age from four months fo six years, out of the -second story window and then jumped after them. None of the children was seriously hurt, but the mother sus- tained fatal injuries. She is thought to be demented. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY, Take LAXATIVE BROMO Quinine Tablets.
