May- be it was practicing up for Jim Gray. Now that the census is a matter of history, Chief of Police Stewart has decided to drive the pick- pockets from Chicago. Our dearly beloved weekly con- temporary, The Sentinel, has a dis- position almost as pleasant as a quarter’s worth of quinine. Bemidji High School girls of the cooking class prepared a meal for two football teams and when it was all over the score was ‘‘nothing to eight.” The Cass Lake Times charges us with having filled the Pioneer’s local columns with items taken from the Times. We demand a jury trial. The Cass Lake paper also criticizes our editorial policy but as the Times has criticized the United States of America, the department of the interior, Governor Eberhart, the attorney general of Minnesota, the city of Bemidji, agents, citizens and soldiers, the Pioneer will try to struggle along under the disgrace, grasping at the hope that perhaps even the Times, of Fire Department and Civil war fame, sometimes makes a mistake. BEWARE THE “STICKERS.” James L. George is the man. County auditor is the office. To- morrow in the ballot booth isthe place. M. E. IBERTSON. If the faithful execution of the arduous of the office of coroner have any weight with the voters, M. E. Ibertson’s vote tomorrow will be one of the heaviest polled, Not only kas he served the people well as a coroner but he has materially reduced the cost to the county of the expense connected with that office. MAKE, STANTON’S VOTE AZRECORD BREAKER. The election of C. W. Stanton, the nonpartisan candidate for dis- trict judge, is about as near certain as anything can be in politics. To retain him in his present honorable position which he has filled with such distinction is a duty in which Bemidii will take particu- lar pride. s It is to be hoped that his vote will be so decisive that it will be the tribute to which his services are en- titled. i THE GUARDIAN OF OUR SCHOOLS. Too much care can not be ex- ercised in the choice of a person)| to supervise the county school system.] Owing to the extent of the county and because much of! the work must be done during the rigors of winter, the work cer-!| taintly is that of a man. Wil liam B. Stewart, the Republican candidate, is particularly well equipped by education, training and natural ability to perform successfully the duties of that office, as his services have [clearly demonstrated. WHY TAKE A CHANCE? There appears to be no good | reason why the voters should ex- periment with a new man in the office of county treasurer. In a private business an emplye is not retired in favor of an untrained and untried man merely because he has held the position for several years, The same should be true with the county. George H. French has made good and his services were never of more value to Beltrami county than at the present time. There is al- ways an element of danger in try- ing out a nrew man. When you get a good one, keep him, Mr. French has earned your vote and ought to get it, VOTE THIS TICKET. The Pioneer believes that the in- terests of Beltrami county will be best served by electing the following candidates at the general election to; morrow: County auditor—James L. George, Republican. County Treasurer—George H, French, Republican. Register of Deeds—]. O. Harris, 'Republican. County attorney—Alvin M. Crowell, Independent. Sheriff —Thomas Bailey, Indepen- dent. Clerk of Court—Fred W. Rhoda, Republican. County Superintendent of Schools —William B. Stewart, Republican. Judge of Probate—Marion A. Clark, Republican. Coroner—M. E. Ibertson, Republi- can. Court Commissioder—H. A. Sim- ons, Republican. County Commissioners—L. O. Myhre, Republican, and J.P. Omich, Public Ownership. James P. Omich, the Public Own- ership candidate for county com- missioner, is a good clean, business man. His election would mean a representative from Bemidji on the board which otherwise will be com- posed of commissioners from places outside the city of Bemidji. The independent candidates for the offices of sheriff and county attorney should be elected unless the voters desire Beltrami to be pointed to as the “black sheep” of Minnesota. | WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY I Ask Dr. Cook. The north pole has been dis- covered for many months, but what use is being made of it>—Chicago Record Herald. Ding Dong! If rumor tells the truth we will hear wedding bells ringing in thisend of the county ere many moons wane. We hear there will be two kegs of beer and a free lunch served a la mode, or by the tin cup process. Young people, look before you leap, for remember marriage is a life con- tract and should be well considered before venturing on the sea of matri- mony.—Allen Items in Pine River Sentinel. And Dad Foots the Bill. A Michigan univlrsity man finds that during the college term students smoked 132,210 cigars, 33,180 boxes of cigarets, 52,000 packages of smok- ing tobacco, of which 30,000 pack- ages were for cigarets, and bought 6,850 plugs of chewing tobacco and 7,000 packages of cigaret paper. They also purchased 100,000 bars of nut chocolate and 77,440 packages of gum, presumably mustly for girls. —Chicago Tribune. ) Farmer Ben on Politics. The reason Farmer Ben sticks to the repub party is that for fifty years the G. O. P. has righted all the wrongs that hav ben submitted to it. It ain’t ben-all honey or progress At times the wreckers and trust tools hav got hold and things hav ben shaped for private insted of public weal but all this bas ben tumbled overboard agen and agen and the | people hav quickly got control of the old ship and made her go straight. We want to elect Sydney Anderson by such a big majority that they’ll hear it down tn Rhod= Island and Michigan, the home of the trusts. tix. The repub policies for the past | fifty years as Senator Knute Nelson so surely proves hav taken ground for the people and have made the state what it is. We’ve got a clean | list of state officers from governor | down and we want to elect ’em and show the world that we are a sure repub state as of yore.—Farmer Ben | in Mower County Transcript.

They serve to a cer- win extent the same pur finger ends, the whiskers of the the trunk of the elephant. Sensitive- ness is due 1o speciatly developed end- ings of perves in the skin. which are | continually sending wessages to the brain. The lip hairg of the borse first receive the stimulus. which is commu- picated to the end organs and so pass- es on to the brain. They come into play when the bhorse samples a new article of food. He first smells it aud. | having so far satisfied himself. rouch- es it delicately with those sensitive hairs. The upper lip moves softly in quick sympathy and confirms the opin- ion suggested by the hairs. The tongue judges finally as to the fitness of the food. When the horse wishes to drink these hairs assure him that the water is free from foreign matter on the surface, for he drinks from the surface only: They detect the smallest particle of dirt and guide him to the purest place. The Simple Diet. There is a certain banker and broker doing business not a hundred miles from the bank. says a Londou weekly, whose health for some time has not been all that he could desire. Not long ago he was complaining to his brother. when the latter after a care- ful survey of his brother’s counte- nance said: v “What you need, old man, is plain country food. Come to my place in the country and we’ll soon set you up. This rich food is proving too much for you. Take breakfast, for instance. All T bave is two cups of coffee, a bit of steak with 4 baked potato, some light muffins or a stack of buttered\ toast. together with a bit of water- cress or lettuce. What ddé you have?" For a moment the city banker gazed in hearty admiration at his brother. A cup of hot water and two slices of dry toast.” he repfied soberly. *“But. Jim, if you think a simple diet like yours will ‘set me up.’ why, I'm per- fectly willing to try it.” The Story of “Hard Hit.” “Mr. Orchardson. if I thought that by «killing you 1 could paint a picture like yours I would stab you to the heart.” Such was the remark made by Pellegrini. the famous caricaturist, to the Royal academician. Sir William Orchardson. when at a private view he first saw *“Hard Hit,” the picture of the ruined gambler. “It was,” said the artist, “the greatest compliment I could have had.” Curiously enough, the model who sat for the ruined gamester was rather fond of cards himself. One day the artist noticed that he looked somewhat depressed. “What is the matter?” he asked. *“1 was awfully hard hit last night,” he answered. - “By Jove.” "replied the artist, jumping up with delight, “I've got it at last! ‘Hard Hit,' of course.” And that is how the picture got its name. . Six Follies of Science. The six follies of science are the 8quaring of the circle, perpetual mo- tion, the philosophier’s stone, the elixir of life, magic and astrology. In all ages men of undoubted ability have toiled early and late to unravel the mysteries supposed to be ‘connect- ed with these fascinating problems. It is not always remembered that such intellectual giants as Bacon, Sir Rob- ert Boyle and Sir Isaac Newton sought the philosopher’s stone. 1In the study of astrology Lilly was for a time even pensioned by parliament, Most of ‘these “follies” conferred in- direct benefits upon science, for In seeking one thing their devotees- dis- covered many another. The craze for the secret, or unknown, has still its hold upon men and is seen in palmis- try and kindred cults. To Take No Chances. Ham!lar—Why in the dickens have you got that string tied around your tooth? Absente—To remind me that I must have the tooth removed. Hamlar—But, goodness gracious. why don’t you do as ordinary people and have the string tied around your fin- ger? Absente stifiy)—Because, sir, I don't care to have my finger removed.—Chi- cago News. Mistake of a Comma. This instance of what a mistake of a comma can produce has been noticed: “Lord Palmerston then entered upou his head. a white hat upon bis feet. | large but well polished boots upon bhis brow. a dark cloud in his hand. bis faithful walking stick in his eye. a| dark menacing glare saying nothiug,"l —Circle Magazine. Taste Is Localized. Taste is curiously localized in the mouth. Put a lnmp of sugar on the tip of your tongue and you will find it | distinetly sweet. Then try it balfway back on the tongue and you will find it tasteless. All sweet or aromatic substane: el as wine, sugar and coffee, be properly app the f knoswle applies when he sips instead of taking a mouthful. With wmost other sub- stunces, however, the reverse is true. In rhese cases the tip of the tongue serves only for touching—1t is the back nt half of the tongue, s part rhat tastes. The sides of the mouth, toa, are quite insensible to cer- 1ain substinces not eless. Put sowe salt or vinegar between the teeth and the check and you will find them absolutely davoriess.—London Stand- ard. Wrestling For Rent. In several cantous of Switzerland the custom prevails oi holding wres- tling matches and other exhibitions of and rifle festivals. The cham- pions (aking part in these athletic sports belong to the most diverse rauks in the seocial seale. Thus at a recent festival at Grenchen. a little town in the canton of Soleure, a wealthy property owner and his ten- ant, a carpenier, stepped into the are- na to wrestle according to the rules of e to be four rounds, or “falls.” The stake for each “fall” was one quaiter’s rent. After the ear- penter bhad thrown his landlord four times the victor's prize was awarded to him, and he accordingly found him- self entitled to live in his house reunt free for a whole year. WHY IT SUCCEEDS. Because it's for One Thing Only, and Bemidji People Appreciate this. the art. There v Nothing can be good for every- thing. Doing one thing well brings suc- cess. Doan’s Kidney Pills do one thing only. They cure sick kidneys. They cure backache, every kidney il f Here is Bemidji evidence to prove it i Mrs. J. C. Titus, 602 America Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I can recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills just as highly . now as I did three years ago, when they cured me of kiddney trouble. There has been no return attack of my complaint. The failure ‘of my kidneys to do their work properly made me miserable in every way and I was unable to find any- thing that would help me until I be- gan taking Doan’s Kidney Pills. They disposed of the pain and built up my entire system.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents, Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.
