Entored In the Postoffice at Bemid]l, Minnesota, as second class mattar. SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE BRILLIANT YOUNG JOURNALIST. The very latest exchange that came to the Pioneer table is the Cass Lake News, of which Leon Battles is the proprietor and manag- ing editor. The News is small, but like all small things, is good. Leon Battles, who guides the destinies of the News, is the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Battles of Cass Lake and Bemidji; and in personally setting up the type, printing and issuing his little paper, the boy is displaying commendable enterprise that augurs well for his future success in the struggle of life. The Pioneer .man feels highly honored with a copy of the News; and we wish the young son of our old friend ‘“‘Charlie,” - unbounded success in whatever trade, profession or calling he may engage. WILL HAMMOND LEAD THE “DEMS?” The twin city and other papers are commenting quite freely on the possibility of Congressman W. S. Hammond of St. James being chosen by the democratic leaders to head the democratic state ticket : next fall and make the race for governor. In fact, some of the papers assert with much positiveness that Hammond is already “slated” and that the word has been given out to that affect to the “faithful” who are on the “in- side.” However, the astute Frank A. Day says nothing concerning what the democrats may or may not do; and until the real head of the Minnesota democracy epeaks, it is just as well not to lay any bets on the Hammond Proposition. d FIGHT CATALOGUE HOUSE WITH PRINTERS’ INK. “It is all well enough to print columns of argument intended to educate the farmer and point out to bim the evils of mail order buying,” says the Lodi (0.) Review. “In fact, it is astonishing what a solici- tude is manifested for the welfare of the poor farmer who persists in send- ing his hard-earned dollars.to the big cities. Before we censure him, however, suppose we look at-home a little. The mail order man fully understands the efficacy of printers’ ink when judiciously applied. How long would it last if he ceased adver- tising? Our big advertisers are not kicking about the state of their trade. Try it yourself and see re- sults.” LIBELLING THE “BANANA BELT.” The new Hibbing Daily Tribune prints a large advertisement, signed by the chief of police and others, forbidding the children of Hibbing throwing snowballs on the streets|g of the metropolis of the range. This is an awful knock for the eastern end of this banana belt, and some- thing must have gone woefully wrong with the weather over in that sec- tion. Time enough to forbid snow- balling in this section when Decem- ber 1 rolls aroun i CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G.

Heaven forbid. Have you ever noticed how fat women apparently like to go about in crowds? You are mistaken about it, thatis all. When two or three of them get together it just|® looks like a crowd to you. Authorities state that the govern- ment needs more $100 bills. The| government knows where to get them, which makes a clear distinc- tion between it and the others of us who also need more $100 bills. e _— " Operator—What do you think or the new foreman, Jimmie?

Resorein is ‘one of the most effective germ destroyers ever dis- covered. - Beta-napthol is a most powerful, yet absolutely safe . ger- micide and antiseptic, which pre- vents development of germ matter and creates a clean, healthy condi- tion, Pilocarpine, although not a coloring miatter or dye, is an in gredient well ‘established for its power to restore natural color to human hair. Borax, because of its well-de- fined softening and cleansing properties, is most useful in the treatment of the scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has a soothing, healing and nour- ishing influence, . Alcohol is in- dispensable in medicine because of its antiseptic, stimulating and preservative qualities. Rexall /93" Hair Tonic is chiefly composed of these ingredients, which are compounded in a pecul- iar form, and we believe it is the most effective remedy to medical science for scalp and hair troubles generally, We personally guar- antee it to eradicate dandruff and scalp irritations and to grow hair, even though the scalp in spots is bare of hair, providing of course there is life and vitality, remaining in the hair roots. We want everyone troubled with scalp disease, dandruff or loss of hair to try Rexall ¢g3"” Hair Tonic. If it does not remove dandruff and promote a growth of hair to the satisfaction of the user, we will without question or quibble return every cent paid us for it. This guarantee 1s printed on every package, It has effected most satistactorily results in g3 out of 100 cases where put to a practical test. “Rexall ¢“93” Hair Tonic is en- tirely unkke and in every particu- lar different from anything else we know of for the purpose for which it is recommended. We urge you to try it at our entire risk, Certainly we could offer no better guarantee, Two sizes, 50 cents and gr.0o. Sold in Bemidji only at- our store—The Rexall Store. Barker’s Drug Store.

REFUGEES AT CALCUTTA Story of Catastrophe Told by Them Corroborated by the Mute Evidence of Scores of Bodies -Floating Down the River Ganges to the Sea—Every Stream in Storm Zone Covered With _Remains of Victims, Calcutta, Oct. 22.—Their story cor- roborated by the mute evidence of scores of bodies floating down the | broad Ganges to the sea refugees from the sgorm swept territory in East Ben- gal arriving here tell tales of terrible disaster. Only a few worn out and exhausted natives have sucteeded in reaching Calcutta. From their ac- counts it is estimated that between 6,000 and 10,000 perished in a tornado which swept the coast and inland points. The refugees describe the stricken territory as littered for miles with heaps of debris that were once light native huts. Scattered among the ruins and over the storm swept fields are scores of dead natives, left where they died by the fleeing survivors. Every river in the storm zone is cov- ered in many places with floating bod- ies swept into the stream by the floods resulting from the rains. The approximate number of dead will never be kmown. The Anglo- Indian, press is manifesting its usual want of interest in the catastrophe, for the reason that few Huropeans ‘were known to-be in the stricken dls- triet.
