Mine., second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM FINANCIAL HISTORY OF BELTRAMI COUNTY. On another page of this issue of the Pioneer will be found a con- densed statement of the financial history of Beltrami county. This statement is accurate and correct in every detail, and was secured by the Pioneer only after a skilled person had carefully looked over the books of the county bearing on that subject. The statement should be read by every resident of the county, as it contains some statistics that are very valuable, and should be pre- served for reference. COMMENDABLE NEWSPAPER “MERGER.” The Pioneer notes, with much favorable interest, the recent con- solidation of the Akeley Tribune and the Akeley Herald, which now appear as one large, newsy, breezy paper, under the ‘‘combination” name of the Akeley Herald-Tribune, and we wish to congratulate those interested in getting the two publi- cations together, backed by a joint stock company, with a fair capitali- zation, and placed under the man- agement of a leader among the all- around newspaper men and printers of the state—Charles F. Scheers, For some time prior to this latest move, there have been two papsrs published at Akeley, and neither of: tkem were receiving patronage that would warrant the continued exist- ence of both. Someone, who deserves the thanks of the good people of Akeley, got the conflicting publica- tion interests together, and the “merger” resulted. Now, all that is necessary is for the Akeley people to stand solidly behind their paper, so long as that publication is issued in the best in- terests of all; and the result will be gratifying, all around. Buta word of advice to both the publishers and the patrons might not be remiss: The patrons of the Tribune-Herald should not expect too much for nothing from the publishers, and should be given to understand that a printing office is the poorest place in the world for the sharpening of edged tools—referring especially to the grinding of personal ‘‘axes.’ On the other hand, the publisher should exercise a due amount of discretion in the contents of his columns, in that he does not’ show undue favoriteism and is not too strenuous in his correction of existing evils as they may appear to him; be charitable. This is said in the kindest spirit, and if followed will do much to do away altogether with activity of factions which exist munity. The writer has been acquainted with Charles F. Scheers for more than fifteen years; and we know him to be one of the very best printers, all-round newspaper pub- lishers, and above all a ““booster” of the thirty-third degree who is a desirable power in any community. Congratulations are due both the promoters of the new Tribune-Herald and the people of Akeley on this latest newspaper move. J. E. Carson, an old Bemidji boy, is foreman of the Tribune-Herald, which insures good service in the mechanical department. Evan had much of his early training in the Pioneer office. in every com- ATTACKS PURE FOOD LAW Answer of Corn Products Company Filed in Court. Cincinnati, May 3.—The Corn Prod- ucts company of Chicago attacks the constitutionality of the pure food law in an answer filed in the United States district court to the allegations of United States District Attorney Mec- Pherson, who a few days ago caused the United States marshal to seize forty-six packages and bags of sugar manufactured by the Corn Products company and found on the premises of the Gerke Brewing company in this city. The government alleges that the sugar was labelled “pure sugar,” ‘Whereas it was adulterated. The seiz ure was made under the pure food and drugs act. To Test Saloon Limit Law. Duluth, May 3.—Edwin Loughlin ot Nore, Itasca county, is planning to test the new law limiting saloons to one for every 500 of the population. He was refused a license by the Itasca county board and has begun mandamus proceedings to compel the board to give him a license. ONE HUNDRED DEAD IN SOUTH Casualties in Recent Torna- does Increasing. WORST EVER EXPERIENCED Storm Declared to Be the Most Des structive in the History of That Section of the country—Considera: ble Loss of Life and Great Damage to Froperty Reported in the Middle West. Memphis, Tenn., May 3.—While some sections in the pathway of the storm are still to be heard from, and in all probability to add their quota to the list of casualties and of prop- erty loss, dispatches so far received from Arkansas, Western Tennessee and Northern Mississippi bring the total number of killed by the recent tornado to 100; the injured, some of whom are believed to be fatally hurt, to twice that number and, while -an accurate estimate of the monetary loss is not yet possible, each dispatch describes the storm as the most de- structive that has ever swept over this portion of the country. The greatest number of dead and injured is reported from Horn Lake, Miss. Here eighteen bodies have al- ready been found among the ruins of the farm dwellings. Of this number seven are those of white people. The Injured number at least fifty. The property loss is roughly estimated at $100,000 in this vicinity. Caddo Gap, Ark., reports a like number of dead and many injured. At Fayetteville, Tenn., the death list is placed at fifteen and the in- jured at a like number as that at Horn Lake. Other towns from which reports have been received here show the following number killed: In Arkansas—Marianna, 4; Beel Branch, 2; Heber, 2; Wilburn, 1; Wheatley, 1; Marion, 5; Zebuton, 1. In Tennessee—Somerville, 5; Boli- var, 1; Dechard, 4; Humboldt, 4; Me- dina, 3; Bella, 6; Quilto, 3; Lula, 4; Deliach, 2; Hanley, 2; Clarkesville, 1. TERRIFIC IN MIDDLE WEST Death and Destruction Follow in Wake of Storm. Chicago, May 3.—Death and de- struction followed in the wake of the terrific storm which swept over the Middle West, including Chicago in its path of devastation. Here many buildings were unroofed, homes blown over and scores of people driven into the storm, many narrowly escaping with their lives. Three men were killed at Grand Crossing, a suburb, in the collapse of a factory. In the path of the storm before it reached the Great Lakes region great destruction of proporty is reported and at least eleven are known to have been killed. At Golden, Mo, the business sec- tion of the town was destroyed and many homas were wrecked. Five per- sons lost their lives. At Summerville, Mo., the wind created havoc and two persons were killed a few miles north of the town. Many were injured. The storm was furious in the south- ern part of Illinois and at Texas City, near Carmi, four persons were killed and many seriously wounded. Great damage to property and crops was caused in Michigan on the east shore of Lake Michigan, Benton Har- bor and South Haven being in the path of the storm. SCHOONER GOES ASHORE Crew Is Anchored Nearby Awaiting Assistance. New York, May 3.—The five-masted schooner William C. Carnegie went ashore near the Moriches lifesaving station, on the south coast of Long Island, in a northeast gale and thick weather. The vessel now lies broad- side to the beach about half a mile oft shore, with the waves dashing over her. Captain Reed and his crew of nine men, unable to reach the shore, boarded their yawlboat and, rowing. seaward, anchored to await the coming of help. Although the lifesaving crews of the Moriches, Forge River and Potunk stations were on the beach they could render no assistance and an appeal for a rev- enue cutter was sent to this city.

TIEUP IS NOW COMPLETE Strike on Great Lakea in Full Op- eration. Chicago, May 3.—The strike of la bor unions on the Great Lakes against the Lake.- Carriers’ associatlon, or, more correctly, their formal refusal to ship on boats controlled by the essoclation; has been put into full op- eration at all ports. It is estimated that probably 12,000 seamen of all classes are involved in the great struggle, Almost 8.000 are -uow said Rheumatism More than nine out of every ten cases of rheumatism are simply rheumatism of the muscles, due to cold or damp, or chronic rheumatism. In such cases no internal treat- ment is required. The free application of Chamberlain’s Liniment is all that is needed and it is cer- tain to give quick relief.
