SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM “LET IT QUIETLY REST,” Under the caption of “Let It Quietly Rest,” the Bovey Iron News prints a sensible article anent the late normal school fight which our friends over at Cass Lake would do well to read and let soak in. While the statement as to the best loca- tion for the school is not exactly to our liking, the general trend of the article is worthy of the highest commendation. The News is printed in the same legislative district as Cass Lake, and the sentiment is very different from that expressed by the papers at the ‘Lake.” “The Grand Rapids Herald Re- view has a ‘cock and bull’ story as to the Cass Lake normal bill having been trading stock, to further Gov- ernor Johnson’s political ambition, alleging that Tams Bixby, owner of the St. Paul Pioneer Press and part owner of the Bemidji townsite, rival claimant for the normal, was the pressure that caused the gov- ernor to veto the bill. “As is only too well known, the only influence that made Cass Lake a formidable candidate, is owner of the Cass Lake townsite and a daily paper, and if the allegations of the Herald Review are true, which we doubt,the motives that lead to the squelching of the bill were no more laudable than those that placed Cass Lake to the fore. “The Cass Lake normal bill has been politics from its inception, and the methods used have not enhanced the influence of this district, although Senator Gunn may be more firmly entrenched than he otherwise would have been. “With all due patriotism to our district, Cass Lake was not the most suitable place for a normal. Bemidji would be a better place, but as a matter of fact there are a score of locations with environments one hundred per cent better than either. Grand Rapids, itself, while not in the race, is one of these. The bill, of very small importance to the dis- trict as a whole, has engenderedhard feelings in this section when above all other times the northern portion of the state should be cemented to- gether, and when this district has very important matters at stake. If the newspapers of this district are wise, now that the bill is dead, they will leave the unfortunate mat- ter as dormant as possible.” Todd County Argus: The Bemidji Pioneer with commendable news- paper enterprise has just turned out a special edition in the form of a magazine of more than a kundred pages. It is well illustrated with cuts of leading men, business build- ings and inviting scenes about the beautiful lakes in that vicinity. It isa splendid and telling advertise- ment for the little city. EVENTS OF IMPORTANGE IN THE PUBLIC" SCHOOLS Continued from First Page [coNTINUED FROM YESTERDAY.] Etta Gould was absent for a short time last week. Kenneth Ludington has been kept from school the last week on account of the illness of his father. The work in the civics class is very interesting and if the present methods are continued will turn out a bunch of lawyers. The law rela- tive to contracts is receiving atten- tion at the present time. Tohn Stechman, a recent arrival from Tenstrike, though but 9 years of age is classified in our fifth grade. This not only speaks well for the lad’s ability but for the efficeincy of of the school at Tenstrike: Having found it necessary to dis- pose of his interest in “The Class- mate,” Bert I. Williams has sold his shares in the paper to Guy Moore who will at once resume his duties as business manager, while Emil Engels will act as editor-in-chief. A member of the civics class yes- terday propounded this inquiry: “Whose duty is it to repair the fence surrounding the court house - pre- mises?” We give it up; but venture to remark that the apparent negli- gence of some person or persons is daily resulting in much damage to this beautiful property. The following students are candi- dates for positions on ' the high school baseball team: For the in- field positions, = Winnebrenner, Brenneman, Boyer. Engels, Alfred Newman, Harris and Stanton, while for the outfield there is no end to the amount of ood material. With Gill, Kreatz and Harris for the box work, the pitching depart- ment will be well taken care of, while either Newman or Hilliard can be depended upon the bat. Coach Thornton is fast whipping the boys into shape and every daya short At a very enthusiastic baseball meeting held on Thursday evening of last week, "Emil Engels and Fay Brenneman were unanimously elected manager and treasurer of the team, respectively. Dues were fixed at twenty-five ceats for the purpose of enabling the manager to purchase the necessary balls and. bats. It was decided by vote that the elec- tion of a captain should be post- poned until the nine was more fully,| organized. Grey was selected to be the color of the official uniform. As the management has already received an offer from the Fosston High school for a game it will not be long before] the public will be given the chance of seeing the boys in action. A STEADY DRAIN. Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body—Make You Ill, Languid and 'Depressed. Sick kidneys weaken the body through the continual}.drainage of life-giving albmen from the blood in- to the urine, and the substitution of poisonous uric acid that goes broad- cast through the] system, sowing the seeds of disease. Loss of albu- men causes weakness, languor, de- pression. ,Uric poisoning causes rheumatic pain, nervousness, nausea, cricks in thefback, gravel and kidney stones. The proper treatment is a kidney treatment, and the best remedy .is Doan’s Kidney Pills. Great Bemidji cures prove it. Mrs. Ella, Barrett, living on Sixth and Americans Sts., Bemidji, Minn., says: ‘‘At the time I began the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills, I was very nervous, and had dull pains in the small of my back, accom- panied by a dull aching across my kidneys. These organs did not seem to act properly and caused me much |discomfort. I decided to try a 'kidney remedy and procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug Store. In a short time I was feeling a great deal better, and am now much stronger. I have no hesitancy in recommending Doan’s Kidney Pills to other kidney suffer- ers.” For sale by all dealers.

There will be a splendid five-piece orchestra, composed of skilled musicians who make a sreci- alty of dance music; the prompter will have the very latest stuff in the terpsichorean line, and will hand out a line of enjoyment that will please everybody. The firemen never made a failure of a dance, and this will be their very best efforts in that line. And you ought to go, neighbor, if you like to dance, with good music and a fine crowd. BEMIDJI APPLIED FOR FISH STATION, YEAR AGO Continued from First Page showing that Bemidji was in the field. one year ahead of her vitrolic, “boycotting” rival, over east. “Bemidji will make a determined effort to have the government fish culture station (provided for in a bill recently introduced in congress by Senator Nelson) located in this city or in this immediate vicinity. “According to the provisions of Senator Nelson’s bill, there will be appropriated by the federal govern- ment the sum of $25,000 for the erection of a fish culture station in Minnesota, the precise location of which will be determined by the United States Fish Commissioner. The bill was introduced last week, and isin a fair way to become a law. “Bemidji cannot be excelled as an advantageous location for the pro- posed fish culture station. There are all of the national environments for the raising and propogation of fish of every variety. There is both spring and other water here, and for that matter there is no better water conditions to be found any- where in the entire state than abounds all around us. “Being close to the largest body of fresh water in the state (Red Lake) which is fed by all streams in this locality running in a northerly direction, the propogation of fish would be an easy matter. Most ex- cellent grounds could be secured, and there is no doubt but that this city can put forth inducements worthy of the affirmative consider- ation of the Federal Fish Commis- sion. ““The city of Crookston, it is said, will make the attempt to secure the station for Maple lake, where an attempt is being made to build up a summer resort. “Crookston has a U. S. land office, and has been honored with a public building, and in many other ways, while Bemidji has received no consideration whatever at the hands of the federal government, or the state either for matter. ‘Bemidji is going after the fish culture station and already the as- sistance of several men of note has been enlisted in our behalf.” If this enterprise can be landed for Bemidji it certainly will be lo- cated here, and no effort will be spared to secure it; if there isany “butting in,” Bemidji is certainly not the “butter-in,” in this instance. Five Jurors in Hains Case. Flushing, N. Y., April 23.—Five Jurors for the trial of Captain Peter C. Hains, Jr., charged with the mur- der of Willilam E.
