The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-11-15

To the engineer who has the powerful
forces of nature under his control the pos
session of clear head is an absolute neces-
sity. He must have a head that is quick
and ready, wide awake and ever on the
lookout to meet emergencies. A clear
head must be free from aches and pains,
because they weaken the nervous force
and divert the attention. 1t must not know
dizziness dullness, melancholy depres-
sion of spirits, nor nervousness
The Bemidji pioneer., 1900-11-15

II am an engineer and for years was
handicapped in my work by frequent at
tacks of severe headache. In spite o.
everything I could do these spells grew
worse until they became almost continual.
Hearing of DR. Miles Nervine through
friend who had used it, began taking it
for my head, and it gave me relief from the
start. In a short time my head was as
clear as bell, and has not troubled me
since" w. WILSON, Alcott, Colo. &

BAND PARADEs N ANAcosT1A.
The Police VIII Do whnt Is Proper
to Abntc Annoyance.


The Commissioners short time ago
received petition from Thomas E. Rear
don and others, of Anaccstia, asking that
no further permits be granted various
negro organizations to parade the streets
Of that suburb
The petitioners stated that during the
summer months il Is almost a daily &C.
curreace for some negro society or club
from the city to pass through Anacostia.
headed by q so-called band. The band.
they say, is usually followed by crowd
OF rough and disorderiy men and women.
Monroe Street, along which they pass. is
very narrow, and with the crowd that
follows the Band, the petition says. the
street and sidewalks are corgested and
the residents who may be sitting outside
are Obliged to go in or be in danger of
being trampied upon.
At the request of the Commissioners,
The Police Department has investigated
the matter and Major Sylvester has now
submitted the following report: Citizens
are entitled to peace and order in their
respective localities. and such instructions
have been given as will prevent indul-
gence In band parades when the purpose
Is to advertise some entertainment.
THE question presented is not new
one, but has had the attention OF the de-
partment for the past several years. and
the practice has been curtailed in a great
measure. 1t is hardly fair that the busi-
ness. peace and comfort of residents should
be disturbed in this wise, especially along
the line of a narrow and easily congested
tho-oughfare. TIE police viii do what Is
proper to abate the annoyance
1t is understood that the petitioners
will be informed in accordance with the
above recommendations.

SOUTHERN CROPS RUINED.
Alabama Visited by the Heaviest
Rainfall in It's History,

MOBILE, Ala. June 26-The heaviest
rainfall in the history of the Weather Bu-
reau was experienced here today. The
1t was merely local rain. extending only
few miles in almost every direction, al
though the Mobile and Ohio Railroad an
nounces that they had rain in considerable
volume all along their line to St. Louis
The rain began at o'clock this morning
and the heaviest fall was between the
hours of 5 and Z, the record being for the
two hours inches. The rest OF the fall
