The Bemidji pioneer., 1903-01-29

time when Bemidji prospects
were so bright as right now.
Instead of looking forward to a
town of 5000 or 5000 inhabitants
we are now looking forward to
a city of Is, 900 or 10000. Since
the G. N. and N. P. are now
under a common ownership we
will now have advantages from
their hands which we could not
have had before. The will be no
more discriminating against US.
If the state would only take up
the draining of northern Bel
trami and Itasca counties, an
area, by the way, of nearly a
state it would open up almost un-
limited resources An agricul-
tural association would be a
good thing. We have got to pay
more attention to agriculture.
One farmer with or four children
is worth five or six lumber]acks
to town. We have one saw
mill, but need four or five. A
grist mill would be a good pay
ing investment and we ought to
have one of about 2OO-barrel
capacity.
Judge Martin: I think our
prospects are the best. 1t is al
most an assured fact that we are
to have slot machine factory,
which will employ between 200
or 300 men and with our new
mill it will make some difference
to the volume of business done
here. In my opinion agriculture
is going to be one of the principal
industries here within a very
few years and we have some of
the best soil in the state. A starch
factory or pulp mill would do
well and there are many other
industries which will be brought
to.the front. We can't be kept
down. Our natural advantages
are numerous and people are
bound to come here
Chas- Nangie: Our business
is good and 1 believe the chances
of doubling our population with
in the the next two years is very
probable. Our new mill is going
to be a big help. What we need
most is grist mill That would
help us more than anything else
just now and there isn't a doubt
but what they would do a fine
business. | don't know of a
better location for a mill than
right here. We are satisfied to
invest our money here and are in
the business to stay. The town
suits me very well.
VIM. McCuaig: Our town is
and always has been a hustler.
Everything is on the move and
we anticipate an excellent season.
We have been in business herefor
four years and while we have
been doing d good business we
expect much more in the future.
Bemidji's prospects are very
fatteriug and it will, within
few years, be a city Of at least
Is, 900 or 10000.
P. J. OLeary: When our mill
gets started the town will have
SIS, 900 or $4,000 more in circu,
lation here every month. Our
business has been gaining right
along, but we expect it to take a
big jump this coming season.
Chances for investment were
never as good as they are right
now and people are beginning to
see that our town is here to stay.
E. J: Willis: Bemidji is the
only town on the face of the
earth. Inside Of four years our
population will reach the 10000

Thought She Would Go Crazy.

Hulls, ILL, Jan. 26.-"I couldn't sit
longer than five minutes in one place.
l was always tired, but could not rest
or sleep. l couldn't help crying and
feeling that something awful was just
about to happen. thought l would
go crazy" In this way does Mrs. A.
NJ. Fysh, of this place, tell of the ill
ness from which she has just recov-
cred.
Mrs. Fyshs case was remarkable.
If she fell asleep she would wake up
frightened, her mouth dry and her
nerves all worked up. She was lone
some and melancholy even when sur
rounded by loving friends. Her bones
ached. she had to make water four or
five times every night. She was CON
stipated. She had a voracious appe-
tite, yet was always hungry between
meals. She coughed up great deal
of white phlegm.
She heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills
and after using them says:
"By the time had taken five boxes
l was Il new woman. l cannot tell
how much good they did for me. Be
fore using Dodd's Kidney Pills life
was such drag to me. Now | can
do my work and feel glad that | have
work to do. l am completely re-
stored"

Mark Twain Gives His Opinion of tn

Hence he was Tom to the most of his
friends and to half of the nation. The
abbrevl 4ting of such mans name is a
patent of nobility and is conferred from
tho heart. Mr.. Reed had a very strong
and decided character, and ne may have

Heal circumstances of Her Relations
With lewes Are Made Known.
London letter: Lovers of George Eliot
the world over will welcome the letter in
which woman, who is in position to
know whereof she speaks, makes a posi-
tive and comforting statement concerning
the famous relationship between the au-
thor of Adam Bede' and George Henry
Lewes. The fact that Miss Il. Katherine
Bates, who has made this important
statement, does SO ON the authority of
Lewes' own son gives her assertion lust
the weight it needs to down forever the
canard that it was owing to George Eliot
that the essayist's first home was broken
up.
Mrs George Henry Lewes has just died,
and 1t was revival in an obituary notice
of the old misconception as to Lewes'
union with the great novelist which led
Miss Bates to tell what she knew on the
subject Her knowledge was gained one
afternoon several years ago when she was
calling at the house of Charles Lewes, the
philosophers son, TO whom George Eliot
bequeathed her manuscripts. by sud-
den and overpowering impulse" says Miss
Bates, II was led to ask him whether it
were true that his father had left his
mother owing to the influence of George
Eliot
1t was a wicked falsehood,' was his
answer. My mother had left my father
before he and George Eliot had ever met
each other. George Eliot found a ruined
life and she made 1T into a beautiful life.
She found us poor, little motherless boys,
and what she did for us no one on earth
will ever Know and his whole face light
ed up with emotion and the tears came to
his eyes as he said this to me. He then
continued in these words: Il am the son
OF the woman who, people say was
wronged by George Eliot and by my ia
Their. | have told you the real truth of
the matter and you have my authority
to repeat 1T wherever and whenever such
statement is made again in your pres
ence.'"
Charles Lewes died in Egypt several
years ago, and Miss Bates says that she
considered herself obviously bound" by
her promise to him to repeat his words
regarding the separation of his father
and mother.
