BEMIDJI “PULLING TUGETHER.” The Spooner News says of Be- midji’s effort to secure the right-of- way for the Soo railway to construct its line through the city: “That the citizens of the County Seat of Beltrami county will get the Soo Line appears to be a forgone conclusion now, and the city is to be congratulated upon its acquisition. “Both the city council and the commercial club are in unison be- hind the project and working to- wards the accomplishment of it. “There is but the one minor obstacle in the way of an early as- surance thatthe business men have not worked in vain—namely the raising of the $30.000 stipulated by the Soo officers, and that evidently will be readily overcome as Bemidji has the sort of boosters necessary to success in things of this sort. “However that 1t is to be taken for granted that the Soo would have built into the city anyway isa delu- sion that such as are guilty of should at once disentangle their minds from, and if yet there remains a ques- tion as to the materialization of the city’s dream, have théem jump into the breech with their fellow citizens. “No resident of the city need be ashamed to liberally contribute to the cause espoused, the shame is only due those who refrain from contribut- ing.” “CUT IT OUT,” JUDGE. The Cass Lake Times last week gave Bemidji a vitrolic thrust rela- tive to the route which the Soo rail- way would take in building its line northwestward from Moose lake. Itis really too bad that Judge Ives will allow his usual good judg- ment to become warped and biased by one who has become chronically soured because of the result of the late normal school fight. A man who instructs children and poses as educator should not cherish in his heart such bitter hatred as does the individual who is continually in- citing Judge Ives to acts which are not natural for the old gentleman. Rest assured, judge, the Pioneer nor anyone else in Bemidji cares but little whether the Soo strikes Cass Lake or not. You’re wasting your ammunition, and your aim is poor. ’TWAS DIFFERENT, BEFORE. ‘The Beltrami county commission- ers have been removed again but the Bemidji papers don’t know it.— Hibbing Tribune. Wrong, brother Hitchcock. We have published facts as to removal of the officials mentioned. How- ever, the fact of the present removal was not brought home so forcibly to the Pioneer as was the former removal, when Brler Hitchcock, then manager of the Pioneer, was “called on the carpet” before Governor Johnson, to make answer to some very pertinent personal inquiries. POLICE GOFFICERS INDICTED Charged With Aiding and Abetting Race Track Bookmaking. New York, Oct. .—Police Inspector John J. O’Brien, Licutenant Hugh Reynolds and Sergeant Hugh Meyers were indicted by the grand jury of Kings county charged with aiding and abetting bookmaking at Sheepshead and Gravesend race tracks.

RUSH FOR INDIAN LANDS Big Crowds on Hand Early at Regis: tration Points. Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. .\—From re- ports received from the Cheyenne and Standing Rock Indlan reservation reg- Istration points it appears that be- tween 5,000 and 6,000 persons had made application between the hours of midnight and noor. As there is no advantage in registering carly, except to return tc their homes, it is expect- ed that thousands will come later to apply for a slice of Uncle Sam’s do- main. Banker Kills Himself.

San Francisco, Oct. ‘L—President Taft awoke in California to find his train speeding southward through a region whose beauty eclipsed any set- ting of nature thus far on his journey. Off to the left Mount Shasta was seen gleaming through the early morning mists, its snowy clad summit rosy with promise of a perfect day. Even in the early morning Lours the whole countryside was focused on the presi- dent’s train and every station plat- form was crowded with farmers and their families. The first stop of importance was at Redding, where three minutes was given to attach the special car bear- ing Governor Gillett and the commit- tee of twenty business men from the Bay cities, who welcomed the presi- dent while he was addressing the GOVERNOR J. N. GILLETT. school children and citizens of Red- ding, who filled the streets surround- ing the station. A company of na- tional guardsmen was drawn up on the platform to do honor to the na- tion’s executive. ‘When the trailn was again in mo- tion the president recelved Governor Gillett and the members of the com- mittee, whose programme was given to him in detall. This included a stop at Sacramento, where a reception was held in the state capitol. The president arrived in Oakland about 8 p. m. and spent one of the most strenuous evenings of his jour- ney, which included receptions and speeches at Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. MANY SETTLERS BURNED OUT Fire Causes Immense Damage In Western Canada. ‘Winnipeg, Man,, Oct. L—Two mil- lon dollars’ worth of property dam- age has heen done by a prairie fire which swept over the Hutton (Al berta) district. The fire has been raging for a week.

Des Molnes, Oct. | «—Minority stock- holders of the Mutual Telephone com- pany of Des Moines, an independent concern, obtained an injunction pre- venting the Bell interests from taking over the independent line.

Cincinnati, Oct. ,—The National German-American alliance, in biennial convention here, discussed reports of various committees. The peace committes, in setting forth the principles of the alliance Wwith reference to the universal peace movement of the world, declares in favor of a federation of all nations, based on a mutual guarantee of their independence and possessions and agalnst attacks of the members, and favors the furtherance of all interna- tional agreements, treatles and con- ‘ventions which will establish uniform legislation tending to the welfare of the working classes and improvement of soclal, commercial and industrial conditions in general and the substi tution of legal proceedings in place of bloodshed in settling: dissensions -be- tween nations and between employes, and employers. The convention voted down a reso- lution condemning General Fred Grant for marching in his uniform at the head of a temperance parade in Chi- cago. Prevailing: arguments were that General Grant marched in his personal capacity only and that “he is not a fanatic, as he advocates the| usefulness of the canteen for the army.” VIGOROUS ASSAULT ON CORPORATION TAX Street Railway Assoclation 0p- poses Taft Measure. Denver, Oct. .—Interviews with officials of the big street railway and interurban lines of the country, rep- resented at the convention of the American Street Rallway and Inter- urban Railway assoclation, in session here, indicate that a vigorous assault upon the corporation tax, proposed by President Taft as an amendment to the Payne tariff bill, will be a feature of the resolutions offered at the meet- ing. This is perhaps the strongest ag- gregation of corporate wealth in the country and its members will fesl keenly tbe tax to be imposed on cor- porations. The income tax will also come in for its share of discussion. Another important subject of dis- cussion will be the tendency of city fathers and state legislators to legis- late against street railway com- panies. A prominent delegate, presi- dent of one of the largest companies of its kind, declared that boards of control and regulating laws do not regulate, but are a source of annoy- ance to the corporations. Six thousand delegates are attend- ing the convention. They represent $5,000,000,000 in capital invested in street rallway enterprises. CANNON ROASTS PARSONS Speaker S8ays He Never Kicks Back at Certain Animals. Danville, TlL, Oct. '.—"T don’t know what political exigency forced Par- sons to make this statement. If I knew more about what was going on down there I might see the necessity for it. If Parsons is looking for a scrap he’ll have plenty of chances for it.” This s what Bpeaker Joseph G. Cannon sald in discussing the dec- laration of Herbert Parsons of New York that the re-election of Cannon was due to treason by New York Re- publicans in trading votes with Dem- ocrats for the defeat of New York election laws in the Emplre state leg- islature. “I don’t make any hullaballeo about such things,” he sald, referring to statements such as that by Con- gressman Parsons and the one some time ago by Congressman Fowler. “When I first used to go hunting as a boy along the Wabash I saw one kind of animal that I never saw be- fore and I kicked at it. I was weeks in recovering. “Bince that time I never have kioked at that kind of animal—in pri vate life or in polities.” Uncle Joe said he could not remem- ber the names of more than half of the members of congress, but he sald he remembered Parsons and added that he would remember him. CHINA TO HAVE MODERN NAVY Imperial Commissioners Begin Work on Gigantic Task. ‘Washington, Oct. L—As a humble beginning in the work of equipping China with a modern naval establish- ment Prince Tsal Huan and Admiral Sah, naval commissioners, entrusted with this gigantic task, according to advices just recelved in Washington, bave taken steps “to ascertain the number of existing men-of-war and vessels.” This done they will inau- gurate the policy, it 18 said, of raising the necessary funds to enlarge the navy, of fostering naval education and of inspecting the naval base.

MAY EXTEND OPERATIONS Reinforcements _Now -Belng Sent to Africa Mean That the: End of the War lIs Not at Hand—Situation Fur- ther Complicated by the Possibility of Hostilities Between S8pain and Morocco. Madrid, Oct. /.—The extension of the fleld of operations in Africa, to Which the government is now com- mitted by the dispatch of reinforce- ments to General Marina, the Span- ish commander, is further complicated by the possibility of a regular declara- tion of war between Morocco and Bpain. ‘While the cortes is closed it be- comes the duty of the council of state to authorize unforeseen expenditures and rumors are afloat of dissensions in the council. It is understood that the military party, the influence of which is growing, now insists th.t the military efforts and sacrifices in Africa must be compensated by the permanent occupation of the Moroe- can coast between Cape Tres Forcas and Tetuan. King Alfonso is disposed to sym pathize with the claims of the mih tarists, but an unexpected obstacle has arisen in the council, where the four Liberals who have been oppos- ing the campaign in Morocco as a military adventure have been joined by another Liberal, creating a tie in the council. SPANIARDS REPULSE MOORS Tribesmen Make Feeble Attack on Enemy's Position. Melilla, Oct. §.—Fifteen hundred Moors appeared on the heights of Mount Monier-Lixa, where they were dispersed by the Spanish artillery" The Moors also made a feeble attack on the Spanish position at Nador, but were repulsed.

WILLIAM WATSON, chairman of the Cunard Steamship company, 1a dead in London. 00 IT NOW Bemidji People Should Not Wait Until it Is Too Late. The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kid- ney troubles are uusally neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright’s Disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint. If you sufter from backache, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secretions are irregular of passage and unnatural in appear- ance, do not delay, Help the kidneys at once. Doan’s Kidney Pills are especi- ally for kidney disorders—they cure where others fail. Over one hundred thousand people have recommended them, Here's a case at home: Mrs. L. Kane, living at 715 Fourth St., Bemidji, Minn., says: I was a sufferer from kidney com- plaint for a number of years, Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me great relief and I am confident anyone using them will receive great-bene- fit. My trouble seemed to be of a dropsical nature and I also suffered much from rheumatic pains. My system seemed to be filled with uric acid and I felt very miserable. I procured Doan’s Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug Store, used them carefully as directed and as before said derived great benefit,” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
