Jabez Hines Confirms Report
That he Will Establish
D0Wie Colony.
Is STILL SECURING OPTIONS
UPON LANDS,
Many Enterprises Contemplated
Among Them Being Broom
Handle Factory.

Jabez Hines, the Blackjack
DoWieite, was a visitor in the
city today and in an interview
Mr.. Hines, confirmed the report
that he would establish colony
at Hines Spur, which is stu
ated two and a half miles north
of Tenstrike on the line of the
M. & I.
Mr.. Hines said that he repre-
sented company of capitalists
and that they we're putting up
the money for the enterprise and
that he, as their agent, was do
ing the work. cit is certain
that a colony will be established, "
said Mr.. Hines, "but at the pres
ent time I am not at liberty to
give out what class of people will
compose the settlement. We
are still securing options upon
all available land around Black
duck, but it is impossible to say
how much we nave already pur-
chased or how much more will
be req CURED for our needs.
Among other industries which
the company will establish at
Hines Spur will be a large broom
handle factory"
Mr.. Hines did not seem in the
least disposed to talk concerning
the venture and was very guard
ed lin the information he gave
out. In view of the fact that Mr..
Hines admits that a colony will
be esta blished and that he is
such a radical DoWieite, it would
seem that the nature of the col
ony was no longer doubtful.
Three carloads of lumber
which will be used in the con-
struction of buildings have ar
rived at the spur and the crew Of
men now at work excavating will
be joined by carpenters in the
near future.

.ANOKA MAN
DISAPPEARS
Relatives of George Boucher
Cannot Locate Where
abOuts of Their Son.
WAS LAST SEEN IN NORTHERN
MINNESOTA.
Vigorous Search Fails to Locate
Missing Man and Quest
Is Given Up.

Another mystery which will
perhaps forever remain unsolved
has developed in northern Mime
sofa in the disappearance Of
George Boucher, a young man
whe came from Anoka some time
ago and has since made his home
in and about Bemidji.
A report was circulated in
Anoka some two weeks ago to
the effect that young Boucher
had been shot accidentally and
was confined in a hospital in this
city. The Pioneer received sew.
eral kilograms and letters from
friends and relatives of the young
man but it was found that he was
not known here and the report Of
his being shot was not given Gre
dence. His parents, who live at
Anoka, took the matter up, how
ever. and last week his father in
stituted search in Bemidji and
neighboring towns for his son,
wishing to ascertain whether the
report was true. He tried hard
to locate the missing relative, but
in spite of a thorough investiga-
ton not a trace of the young man
could be found and Mr.. Boucher
gave up the search without hav-
ing so much as found where his
son was last seen, and went to
work in a lumber camp near Cass
Lake.
tits said that young Boucher
has been a bartender during his
stay in this part of the state, but
this cannot be verified, as he is
not known to anyone in this city.

DAILY MAIL
FOR RED LAKE
New Service From Bemidji
to Agency Will Be Insti-
tuted Dec. l6.

Advice has been received from
the postal department. at Wash
ington to the effect that on Dec.
Is daily mail service would be
instituted between Bemidji and
Red Lake Agency. Foranum Der
of years past the service has been
only a tri-weekly one and has
been very unsatisfactory. A
petition to the postal department.,
however, brought about the de.
sired change and from the above
date the people of Red Lake will
receive their mail daily. Tom
Smart has the contract for haul
ing the mail and it will necessi-
tate the addition of two teams
and a driver to the regular force
now employed on the route.

TOO MUCH
HARDNESS.
Sup't. Richie Presents Re-
port Of the Public Schools
for November.
PEOPLE PAY LITTLE ATTEN-
TION TO THE SCHOOLS.
Only 10 Visitors During the
Whole Month Enrolment
for the Month 652.

Superintendent Ritchle of the
city schools has filed his report
for the month of November. Mr..
Ritchie calls particular attention
to the matter Of hardness and
irregular attendance both of
which are larger than they
should be- A striking feature
of the report, however, is the
fact that but 10 people visited
the schools last month, showing
that whatever interest the people
of the city have in the public
schools, they evince but little
active interest. Superintendent
Ritchie's report is as follows:
We take pleasure in submitting
to the public our report Of Be-
midi Public Schools for the
month Of Novem Der.
The total enrolment for the
month as reported by the several
teachers, is 652. The percentage
of attendance in the grades is
949, which is one half per cent
lower than for the month of Octo-
Der. AS stated before, the cases
of absences are confined to a
comparatively small number of
pupils. In the grades, Miss
Miller's room deserves special
mention. With an enrolment of
Sc pupils she reports 81 per cent
in attendance.
The percentage Of attendance
in the high school is the same as
for the month Of October, 81 per
cent.
Total number of visitors re
ported is 10, with some rooms
reporting none. In the matter
of cases of hardness we have
been able to lower the number
from 80 for the month of October
to rs for the month Of Noyem Der.
This number is yet entirely too
large and we ask that parents
see that their children get to
school on time.
We are glad to report that in
the matter of truancy there was
but one case reported. We are
not sure. however, that other
cases did not occur.
The public is cordially invited
to visit us and speak an encour-
aging word to the teachers who
are earnestly laboring for the
betterment of our schools. We
are trying for the present to
leave off the frills and take on
good solid work with reading to
the fore.
It is with sorrow and regret
that we report the illness of two
of our teachers Misses Covell and
Leyde, who are rapidly recover
ing from an attack of typhoid
fever.
Respectfully yours,
A. p. RITCHIE,
Superin thndent.

CHRONIC
IS 0RE

wheeling, w. Va, May 20, 1903.
Some years ago while at work, I fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as a result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report I left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. It's effects
were prompt and gratifying. It took
only short while for the medicine to en-
tire1y cure up the sores, and I am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some II
years have elapsed since what I have de-
scribed occurred. Having been so signa1ly
benefited by its use can heartily recon-
mend It as the one great blood purifier.

Some Dangers.

Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Allow me to call attention to dan gerous place in our city which exists on Court street between Orange and Church streets. I refer to the Auto mobile station located there. The dam ger arises from two sources.
 First, automobiles are driven in and out of the station in reckless manner, no attention being paid sometimes to the law to slow up and sound the horn. The writer recently noticed two auto mobiles following each other. within a few minutes, come down Court street at a rapid rate and turn into the sta- tion without blowing the horn or slow ing up In one case four small children were standing on the sidewalk within a few feet of the road that crosses the sidewalk. Fortunately no one was hurt. A gentleman was recently pass- ing the station when a automobile came tearing down the street and shot into the station without slowing up or blow ing the horn. The automobile came so near this gentleman that it made the hair stand up on his head, but the chauffeur did not do as much as turn his head. The indifference of autonlo- bile drivers is very remarkable. A writer in a New York paper says an automobile passed by him at rapid rate and when his horse stood on his hind feet the chaffeur looked back at him and laughed, as if he enjoyed 1t. Another time this same gentleman was passing by the Automobile station in New Haven on Court street in the eve- ming when an automobile came out of the station and passed just behind him without warning. Recently woman driving an automobile came out of this station and passed a policeman, but fortunately did not hit him. When the policeman spoke to her about driving so recklessly she said the automobile got away with her.
 Secondly, it is said that a large tank of gasoline is stored in this Automobile station, enough to make a fire that New Haven would remember a long time. It is said that when gasoline takes fire 1t sometimes explodes like dynamite.
 Let me say in this connection that Automobile stations should not be lo- cated on thoroughfares where many people are constantly passing, but in some place removed from the throng of people. No automobile should be per- mitted by law to cross a sidewalk ex- cept at a road crossing, and then they should be compelled to slow up and blow their horn. If man walks on the street he takes his chances, but he should be perfectly safe on the side, walk, which is made for pedestrians.

THEr Do NOT CEASE.

Wonders do not cease. The Navy department is conducting experiments just now with the teIautograph, an in- strument that, it is believed, will event. ually be used in the navy for use on warships with splendid results. The telautograph is nothing more or less than a Iong-distance writing machine. Simply stated, two peculiarly con strueted writing pads are electrically connected, and anything written on one pad is exactly reproduced on the other, whether it be yard or a mile or a dozen leagues away. Recently, during target practice by vessels of the North Atlantic squadron written orders were conveyed from the coming tower to the engine room of the flagship by means of the telautograph, and the writing on the second pad was perfect ly legible. When it is considered that the big guns of the ship were banging away lHSIIhy at LAS lliIlS anu ltlS oulp was shaking from stem to stern with the force of the discharges, the per- formance Of the delicate instrument is considered little short of marvellous. Further experiments will be conducted, and if the performances of the telauto- graph are uniformly satisfactory, it will undoubtedly be introduced on board the ships of the navy. It is be- lieved that the instrument will be par ticularly valuable during naval engage ments when the din of battle makes the receipt O. oral orders rather uncertain. Besides, the teIautograph always leaves a written record of orders given, and in case of controversy following a misun- derstanding of instructions. a reference to it's pages would settle the matter inn mediately. t........
 All the improvement needed is to make this instrument wireless, and that will probably be done as soon as the wonder-workers get time.
