EXPENSIVE FIGHT
Finish Fight Between Two Dogs
I'M hinaware Department at
O,Leary & BoWser's.

Alderman Bowser is a mild
hammered man, one Of the best
members Of the city council and
a conservative gentleman, but
since an incident which happened
at O'Leary & Bowser's store last
night shortly after 6 o'clock no
one with a spark Of justice in his
bosom can deny to Mr.. Bowser
the divine right of standing un-
qualifedly for special dog tax
covering the canine nuisance in
Bemidji.
Two dogs started q fight di-
.rectly in front Of the store last
night. During the melee they
went through one Of the base
ment windows and tumbled into
the chinawafe department. The
crash Of dishes and the general
havoc which followed was a sight
for sore eyes. Several dinner
sets were ruined before the.
belligerents could be parted.
The damage will be quite ex-
.tensiye and the owners of the.
dogs will probably be held re-
sponsible for the loss.

Announcement That He
Will Build Hotel.
EXPECTS TO BE COMPLETED.
OCTOBER FIRST.
Last Obstacle to Construction
Removed by Third Street
Property Owners.

'sYou can tell the people today,
said Hon. j. M. MARKHAM to the
Pioneer this morning "that !
shall build that hotel that you
have been talking about. You
were right all the time, but 1 did
not feel like authorizing a positive
statement until I was absolutely
sure that / knew what | was do
ing. Z
II am going to st. Paul this
morning to have the plans pre-
pared and to advertise for bids
for the construction Of the house.
It should be completed by Octo-
Der /, and dirt will fly on the
ground here just as soon as the
plans are completed. Sewerage
was necessary to the house. OF
course / might have put in a
private disposal plant but this
would have been unsatisfactory.
Before we. could be assured that
we could get a sewer system this
year it was necessary to see the
property owners on Third street
as the putting in OF a sewer
means that the streets must be
filed up to the established grade
and this will necessitate raise
Of three and half feet at the
lower end Of Third street.
81 LAST night a petition was pre-:
sented to the city council by
practically every property owner
on Third street who is affected
asking the council to provide for
the grading Of the street and the
putting in Of the sewer. This is
all 1 have been waiting to find
out. The hotel was almost an
impossibility without sewerage
and now that we are practically
assured that we will have til in:
tend to proceed. You may pub
fish this if you like as | want the
DeOnle 10 know that [ am going
to build the house. !"
Mr.. i Markham's statement
printed above finally disposes OF
all question as to the new hotel.
A pencil drawing of the plans
was shown to the Pioneer last
night. It will be a three story
brick structure with, Ga rooms
constructed on a thoroughly
modern plan. Mr.. Markham
states that it will be finished
throughout in hardwood with tile
floors for the Office and bar and
the furnishings throughout will
be the best that money can buy.
1t is his intention to build a house
that will be up to anything out.
side the cities in point Of general
excellence. The draughting of
the plans will require about ten
days. Bids will be advertised
for at once and the contract for
the construction of the house let
as soon as possible.

able. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cur with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
