THIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGR ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFFICES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO SRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Our Slogan: “Bemidji 25,000 Population in 1925” Minnesota’s capitol is a state house of many languages and dwell- ers in the magnificent marble strue- ture boast that a letter has never been returned for want of interpre- tation. In the governor’s office the “gift of tongues” centers in C. M. Andrist, secretary to Governor Ham- mond, who talks in seven languages. German and Scandinavian corres- pondence can be handled with no difficulty in the office of Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of state, the Railroad and Warehouse commission, the treasurer’s office or the public examiner’s office. In the office .of the superintendent of banks, or the insurance commissioner’s office, one can start a conversation any time in Irish, Scotch, or Jewish. In the state auditor’s office a person can seek in- formation in Danish, German, Polish, Irish, Norwegian or Swedish. Meeting of Interest. Much interest is being attached to| a meeting which is to take placeto- | morrow at Stillwater, when the sixty- seventh anniversary of the first gov-, ernmental proceeding in the North Star state will be observed by the pioneers with a reunion. Minnesota began to assume organic form and existence August 26, 1848, when 62 men at Stillwater in the first general gathering of what is now the state, appointed a committee of seven to draft a memorial to con- gress to organize a new territory west of Wisconsin and elected Henry Hastings Sibley territorial delegate to congress. The St. Croix valley settlers were responsible for the convention. The bill creating Wisconsin as a state made the Rum river the western boundary while the valley men want- ed to be in the new territory and pro- posed that the new state have the Chippewa river in Wisconsin as its western line, leaving the entire St. Croix valley .in .the proposed terri- tory of Minnesota. They were not to. have their way, for when Wisconsin was admitted in May, 1848, congress “split the dif- ference” and made the St. Croix the dividing line. ‘What is now Minnesota was then no man’s land. A bill creating Min- nesota west of the Mississippi and Rum rivers was before congress and that part of the state east of the streams might have been considered ‘Wisconsin territory. The main business of the pioneer convention was to form a temporary organization, and then to appoint a committee to draft a memorial to congress. In this primitive body were such men as Henry Hastings Sibley and Henry M. Rice, Morton S. Wilkinson, Joseph R. Brown, William Holcombe, ‘William R. Marshall and A. L. Car- penter, all of whom attained prom- inénce and more than local fame. Tt was agreed at this convention that St. Paul should be the capitol and that the new territory should be call- ed Minnesota.

We don’t have much sympathy with the proposition, and rather look upon it as an effort on the part of certain’ interests to control legislation.

For Summer Complaints, “I cannot speak to highly of Cham- berlain’s Colic, Cholera, and. Diarr- hoea Remedy for it has been used by myself and hushand for the past fif- | teen years and has never failed to give. praise. We confidently believe that it has relieved more. pain and suffer- ing and saved the lives of more peo- ple than any other one preparation in use. One or two doses of it is enough to relieve an ordinary attack of colic or diarrhoea. It has been used in many epidemics of dysentery with perfect success. It is especially valuable for summer diarrhoeas. in children. Every family should keep it at hand as attacks of cholera mor- bus often result fatally before medi: cine can be procured or a physician ummoned. Obtainable everywhere. —Adv.
