Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

No one who is acquainted with its
good qualities can be surprised al
the great popularity of ~Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t not only cures
colds and grip effectually and perm
anently, but prevents these diseases
from resulting in pneumonia. 1t is
also a certain cure for Group. Whoop-
ing cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. 1t contains no
opium or other harmful substance
and may be given as confidently to a
baby as to an adult. 1t is also pleas
ant to take. When all of these facts
are taken into consideration it is not
surprising that people in foreign
lands, as well as at home, esteem
this remedy very highly and very few
are willing to take any other after
having once used it. For sale by all
druggists.

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1904-10-22

A YEAR ago the campaign,
state and national, was on in full
blast. 1t has kept the nation
and the state stirred to their
foundations ever since, yet today
there is less interest in matters
political than for many year so
short time before elections.
The truth is that the strain has
been too intense; it has not only
seriously interfered with bust
ness for year past, but it has
worn out the interest of the
people generally, and we are
close to point where we shall
be ready to pray to be delivered
from elections.

A Strong Pull and a Long
Pull.

All that is needed to secure
the extension of the Red Lake
railroad to this city is. concerted
and energetic action on the part
Of the citizens Of this city. If
the people of the city will act at
once the contracts for the con-
struction of the road will be let
within week.
The call for a mass meeting at
the court house tonight to con-
slider this very important matter
should be responded to by every
person who has any material in
terest whatever in the welfare of
the city. The meeting should be
the biggest meeting Of the citi
zens of this city that has ever
been COTTON together.
Negotiations for the road have
reached the point where all that
is necessary to secure the road is
your presence at the meeting to-
night. Will you help that much?
A strong pull and a long pull and
a pull all together will make the
road certain within few days.

Cause of LOcAiaW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused
by bacillus or germ which ex-
lists plentifully in street dirt. 1t
is inactive so long as exposed to
the air, but when carried beneath
the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty
nails, and when the air is ex-
Guided the germ is reused to ac-
tivity and produces the most vir-
ulent poison known. These
germs may be destroyed and all
danger of lockjaw avoided by ap-
plying Cham berlain S Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury
is received. Pain Balm is an
antiseptic and causes cuts,
bruises and like injuries to heal
without maturation and in one
third the time required by the
usual treatment. Sold by Bar
ker's Drug store.

SUBSCRIPTION IS PER YEAE
Compare the Men.

It is remarkable how the re-
pu blican and the democratic
nominees for governor of his
state have run together and how
radically they have differed in
action.
For eight years, Robert G..
Dunn, republican candidate for
governor was auditor of the state.
During that time he drafted and
secured the passage of many of
the laws now most highly priced
on the statute books of the state.
So active a force was Mr.. Dunn
during these years that his fame
as a state auditor filled every
coroner of the state and made
him the spontaneous candidate
of the people for the nomination
for governor.
During almost the same eight
years, John A. Johnson, demo
cratic candidate for governor,
was a mem Der of the state sen
ate, but the journal of the senate
fails to show one bit of construc-
tive Legislation which he cham.
pioned. Although senator of
the state for two terms there is
not one single item in the state S
upbuilding which may be cred
tied to Mr.. Johnson. On the
other hand every measure and
every policy and every thing &C
complished in the past eight
years to make Minnesota the
great state that it is, has been
accomplished in the face of Mr..
Johnson's opposition.
Which of these two men will
you have for the governor of the
state?

KING OF SPAIN
WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO
MARRY A BLOOD RELATIVE.

Rome, Jan. 20-Merry del Val, pa
pal secretary of state, himself Span.
lard, of distinguished family, wrote
. confidential letter to Queen Maria
christina advising her that Pope Plus
will, under no circumstances, grant a
dispensation to allow King Alphonso
to marry a blood relative. The an
pounoement was made in consequence
Of the newspaper betrothal' between
Alphonso and his IS year old cousin,
Maria del Pillar of Bavaria. The sto-
~ it is believed, was given out in
order to ascertain the holy fathers
views on marriages between blood rel
atives. AS a matter of fact, the Ba-
varian princess could not possibly be
acceptable, as her own mother had to
secure dispensation from Pope Leo
to make possible her marriage to the
Bavarian cousin. Rampolla helped
her to achieve that end, but he is now
out of office and Pope Plus has ,more
decided views on the subject than bis
predecessor.

SAM JONES
GIVES A FEW POINTERS ON THE
PANAMA CANAL.

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 2O-Rev. Sam p.
Jones, the noted Georgia evangelist,
writing from Texas, says:
Find Texas is in favor Of digging
the canal. If / hear things right in
Texas, Bailey's and Culberson's names
are Dennis if they help to defeat the
Panama project, for repeat the fact,
the south would rather have the Pan
anna canal than a score Of Democratic
presidents, and they will receive more
good from the canal than they will at
the hands of hundred Democratic
presidents. Really, the business in
terests of this country are opposed to
Democratic victory, anyway. Demo-
Gratis seem to have sense enough to
run states and cities, but the national
government seems to be too big for
them to run. Texas, like all the south
ern states, wants the canal, and If the
emosrats want to act the fool again,
let them make this an issue in the
coming campaign. Then | can beat
them with a Republican ysller dog. D."

mileage 1874 miles in the year 1908,
and the gain is officially stated in the
report of the railroad commission,
Which was given out by Chairman @.
@. MoChord. The total mileage in
the state is 3,lS9, according to taxable
tabulation, and, in addition to that,
IS miles have been constructed too
late for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1908.
The earnings of the roads entire
were $50, l23,74S, an average Of So
446 Q mile. During the year the net
earnings increased from &2,773, dur
ing 1902, to %, 039 for 1908. Great
Improvement in the physical condition
OF the Kentucky railroads is reported
by the commission. Heavier rails
have been laid and new steel bridges
have in many instances replaced the
old wooden structures. The lumber
industry has been given impetus by
the activity Of railroads, thousands of
old ties having been replaced with
new ones.
The tonnage offered in the state has
been greater than the equipment Of
the roads Id handle. though every
effort in that direction was made.
While conditions have improved, the
commission says that not all roads
have kept pace with the enormous
growth in trsffic. Expenditures for
rolling stock and motive power, how.
ever. have been made as rapidly as the
factories could fill their contracts.
