ADVANGE BOOSTING A “GOOD THING.” The Bemidji Pioneer never misses an opportunity to boost northern Miunnesota and in so doing is prov- ing an effective instrument in its development.—Duluth News-Trib- une, The Pioneer is simply stating its convictions as to the greatness of this empire, much of which is as yet undeveloped. And the Pioneer man’s heart is glad when he beholds the wonderful exhibitsof agricultural products, grains, grasses, vegetables, etc., as well as dairy products, which have been displayed at our county fairs during the past fall. Time was, not so many years ago, when certain misguided individuals were wont to ridicule the idea that cut-over pine lands were fit for any- thing but the reforestration of pine trees. We were stubborn in our contention that this section of the state would yet rival any part of Minnesota for productiveness of its fertile acres, and this prediction is being born out by actual results, more forcibly each year. No one should pass from this state to Can- ada or to other states without visit- ing northern Minnesota and looking over the great opportunities that are offered in all of these counties. THE SO0 IS DESIRABLE “COMPANY.” The citizens of Little Falls are negotiating with the Soo Ry. officals to have a spur built into that city. It is understood that the railway company has offered to build in—if the city will stand the expense— and it might not be a bad thing for the town at that. The distance is only seven miles.—Staples Head- light. Bemidji escaped the aftermath of building a branch line from this city to the head of Lake Bemidji, where the Soo first contemplated building, by raising a large sum of money and purchasing right-of-way through the city that the company desired. And we are of the opinion that the benefits that will accrue from hav- ing the Soo as a competitor for business in Bemidji will pay ten fold for the investment to secure right- of-way. CAUSTIC COMMENT. (A. G. Rutledge.] Started the Christmas shopping yet? i Somehow it doesn’t seem to add to Mr. Peary’s popularity to pin medals on him: Mary Garden says that America is nothing buta great big railroad station. Who cares. Let her rail ‘The Young daughter of the Kaiser has been made colonel of a cavalry regiment. Pussin boots, as it were. Mr. Roosevelt continues to pot elephants; Mr. Taft continues to putt golf balls. All of which increases the telegraph tolls. Careful scrutiny of the list of fifty heroes awarded Carnegie medals does not disclose the name of the man who helped his wife clean house. HURRIES TO ST. PETERSBURG Cholera Outbreak Alarms Royal Family. Odessa, Nov. 11.—A virulent out- break of cholera at Simferopol has driven the Russian royal family from the imperial estate at Lividia and hurried them north to St. Petersburg. Thirty-five deaths have already been recorded in Simferopol and the hopes are slim for the checking of the outbreak. Because of the presence of the - royal family in the vicinity the sani- tary commissioners made an unprece- dented effort to stamp out the disease as soon as it was discovered. They are unable, however, to impress the inhabitants of the Crimean villages with the seriousness of the sitvation and an enormous death roll is expect- ed before the plague passes. SEA FATALITY IS REVEALED Wreckage Shows Schooner and Crew Have Probably Sunk. Block Island, R. I, Nov. 1L—The shores of Block Island are strewn with wreckage from the schooner Mer- rill C. Hart, which is believed to have been sunk in collision with the Brit- ish barkentine John S. Bennett, with a loss of at least six lives. No bodies, however, have been dis- covered. Although the barkentine is thought to have been lost none of the flotsam cast up by the waves has been identified as from that craft.

MEAN ADVANCE IN PRICES Lumbermen and Furniture Manufac- turers Meet at Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 11.—With lumbermen at the Congress hotel discussing raw material and furniture men at the Auditorium hotel considering the fin- ished product decided increase in prices of furniture and its products is probable, according to members who attended both meetings. “With raw material getting scarcer each year,” sald Henry Johnson at the lumbermen’s gathering, “and la- bor high and hard to get and a tariff that s not to our liking prices are bhound to be higher for almost every- thing that i{s made from lumber and we are here to discuss that feature.” THE DOGTOR'S QUESTION he is much better and able to bej Some Advice Against the Use of Harsh Purgatives and Physics. A doctor’s first question when consulted by a patient is, ‘‘Are your bowels regular?”” He knows that 98 per cent of illness is attended with inactive bowels and torpid liver. This condition poisons the system with waste matter and causes accumulation of gases which must be removed through the bowels before - health can be re- stored. . Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics may be truly likened to dynamite. Through their harsh, irritating action they force a passage through the bowels, causing pain and dam- age to the delicate intestinal struct- ure which weakeus the whole system, and at best only produces tempor- ary relief. The repeated use of such treatments causes chronic irri- tation of the stomach. and bowels, dries and hardens their tissues, deadens their nerves, stiffens their muscles and generally brings about an injurious habit which sometimes has almost, if not fatal results. We have a pleasant and safe rem- edy for constipation and ‘bowel dis- orders in general. We are so certain of its great curative value that we promise to return the purchaser’s money in every case where it fails to produce entire satisfaction. This remedy is called Rexall Orderlies. We urge you to try them at our entire risk. Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy, they act quietly and have a soothlng, strengthening, healing, regulative influence on the entire intestinal tract. They do not purge, gripe, cause nausea, flatulence, ex- cessive looseness, diarrhoea or other annoying effects, and they ‘may be taken at any time without inconven- ience. Rexall Orderlies overcome the drugging habit and safely remedy constipation and associate ailments, whether acute or chronic, except in surgical cases. They are especially good for chililren, weak persons or old folks. Price, 36 tablets 25 cents, and 12 tablets 10 cents: Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies ‘in Bemidji only at. our store—The Rexall Store. Barker’s Drug:Store. PRESIDENT HOME " FAOM LONG TRIP Reaches Washing'ton- After Tour of Country. COSTS UNCLE SAM $20,060 Exeoutive Traveled More Than Thir- teen Thousand- Miles and Is Said to Have Addressed Three Million Peo- ple—Cost of Entertainment at the Various Localities Visited Estimated at $3,000,000, Washington.” Nov. 11—At 8:35 Wednesday night President Taft completed his first long tour of the United States as president. So far as Mr. Taft is concerned he is satisfied with' the result of his trip. He has come into contact' with the people of the Middle and Far West and, while @ome of his receptions have been of a [ut.her unfriendly character, he has 'been able to present his views to the people. The Taft tour has carrled the pres- fident over 12,755 miles by rail and water and over €00 miles by auto and practically 500 by stage or horse drawn vehicle. It has'cost the United States $20,000, which will come out of the fund appropriated by congress for his traveling expenses. The president has made upward of 300 speeches from platforms, rear vestibules of his car and open air. Entertainments Cost $3,000,000. The cost to the various localities that have “entertained” him is very large. A conservative estimate is $3,000,000. For the little entertain- ment at Juarez, where he was the guest of the president of Mexico for that “little dinner,” the cost is de- clared to have been $500,000. Ten, $16 and $20 a plate was charged each one that attended the several dinners glven the president, while at Los Angeles they struck the record of high figures, $25 a plate. Mr. Taft himself belleves his trip through the South has gained him satisfaction and has made him many friends among the people. He considers that he is now in touch with the several elements in his own party and will be better prepared to deal with all of the problems that will come before him this winter dur- ing the session of congress. Has Many Souvenirs of Trip. ‘The president returns with all man- ner of souvenirs of the trip, ranging from a golf trophy to a “great seal of a city” in solld gold. If Mrs. Taft ‘wants to know what happened on the trlp and what was most notable at any of the banquets she has only to rummage through the trophies which clutter up the baggage car and she can get a lfne on it. The president’s guards estimated the number of persons he has talked to on the present trip at 3,000,000. The coolness of his greetings in the West has been offset by the warmth of the greeting in the South and his friends assert that there was no rea- son to comsider the Western recep- tion unfriendly, rather they charac- terize it as “educational” and as serv- ing to show the president where the West stands on a number of prob- lems. PLANS TRIP TO FAR NORTH Captain Amundson Will Take Sup- plies for Seven Years. Chicago, Nov. 11.—Captain Roald Amundson, the Norwegian explorer, is on his way to Chicago from Chris- tlania to secure the largest store of provisions ever carried by any expe- dition to the Far North. The supplies are sufficlent to last for seven years for his crew of twelve. Captain Amundson. will start his “dash” for the frozen north in July. Plans are being completed for the reception and welcome of the hardy explorer by the Chicago Geographic soclety, while other plans are being laid ‘to bring Sir Ernest' Shackleton to the city early in the coming year. Captain. Amundson will arrive in {Chicago on Nov. 22. SHOOK HOUSES IN. VICINITY Big Mateor Ealls on Farm Near Man- istee, Mich. ; Manistee, Mich.,, Nov. 11.—An ex- planation of what was belleved to have been a boiler explosion on a lake steamer was furnished with the discovery by Norman Johnson, an eleven-year-old boy, of a huge ‘meteor on a farm two miles south of this city. The meteor was still warm and ten feet of it projected above the ground. As a result of its impact with the earth many houses in the vicinity were shaken. It is believed the find will prove of great scientitic value, because of the size of the meteor. and net the owner of the farm considerable money. The spot is about half a mile from Lake Michigan. HALTS WOULD BE LYNCHERS Chief of Police of Cairo, Ill,, Talks Earnestly to Mob. Cairo, Ill, Nov. 11.—A mob formed here and started towards the jail to Iynch Will James, the negro coal heaver, arrested in connection with the murder of Anna Pelley. A stran- ger offered to lead the mob and said: *“Come on, boys.” At Twelfth and Poplar streets the mob was met hy the chief of police, who snatched the mask off one man’s face. He talked earnestly to the men in the crowd, telling them the evi- dence against James was purely cir- cumstantial. The crowd melted away.
