Its Establishment.
OLIVER j. TAGLEY WILL BE

ciated by People of Bemidii
Suburb.

Congressman Stevenson was
last Friday notified by the post
office department that post
Office had been established at
Nymore upon his recommends
ton and that Oliver J. Tagley
had been appointed postmaster.
The proposition of having a post
Office at Nymore was taken up
last fall by the people of that
town and was pushed forward
very rapidly, although it received
considerable opposition from the
people of Bemidji. A petition
signed by nearly all the people Of
the new town was presented to
Congressman Stevenson, how
ever, and their request has been
granted.
The new office will be a great
convenience to the people Of Ny
more, as formerly they were
compelled to come to Bemidji for
their mail: distance of over a
mile. All the inha bitants of the
new town will feel considera BILE
elated over the establishment of
the office, although it will de-
tract somewhat from the bust
ness done at the local postofice.

Run Over by M. & l.
Logging Train.
ARM SEVERED AND HEAD
BADLY BRUISED.
Went to Sleep on Track and
Rambling of Approaching
Train Did Not Wake Him.

George Barnby, a farmer who
lives about four miles south Of
Bemidji, was run over by an M.
& I. logging train Saturday night
at 10 o'clock, sustaining a
crushed arm and a head badly
bruised and cut.
Mr.. Barnby was attending a
dance at Nymore Saturday night
and started to walk home a little
before ten. He took the railway
track and instead of turning
south he kept Oh the track which
goes north along the east side Of
the lake. It is presumed that he
became fatigued, sat down upon
the track to rest and theapproach-
ing train did not wake him. His
cries as the train passed over
him were heard by the conductor
and the train was stopped and he
was brought to the city on the
engine and taken to st. An
thongs hospital. He was very
weak when taken to the hospital
An operation was performed
yesterday afternoon by Dc.
Henderson and the arm was am.
putated below the elbow. He is

iured internally he will survive.

MANY WOLVES
Country Around Tenstrike Seems
to Be Infested With FerOciOus
Brutes.

According to reports, the coun-
try tributary to Tenstrike, and
especially west of the city, seems
to be alive with wolves. The
stage driver who carries mail
from Curing to Blackduck re-
ports that the other day when he
started on his trip he heard the
bowls of what seemed to be no
less than twenty beasts, and a
man whom he passed on the road
said that he had seen three in
one pack. Peter Maule was in
the city today and secured the
bounty on a wolf he had killed in
the townsite of Tenstrike and
says that their bowls are heard
nightly by residents in that vi
entity.

Very Li9ht Vote.

Indications of a very light vote
at the primary election are re
ported from many towns through
out the county. The reason for
this is that many of the home
steaders who are eligible to vote

present to vote at the. primaries.
In the town of Buzzle it is re-
ported that not more than eight
or ten votes will be cast.

The Minneapolis journal., 1904-06-25

Catarrh may invade any organ OF the
body; may destroy any function Of the
body. It most commonly attacks the head,
nose and throat, but thousands upon
thousands Of cases Of catarrh of the
lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder and other
pelvic organs have been cured by Peruna.
7 Peruna is able to cure catarrh wherever
it may be located by its direct action
upon the mucous membranes. Catarrh
means infiamed mucous membranes. Pc
runa acts at once to cleanse and invig-
crate the catarrhal condition Of the mu-
cous membrane, no matter where it may
occur in the body. Its action is the same
on the mucous lining Of the nose as on
the mucous lining Of the bowels It
cures the catarrhal Inflammation wher-
ever It may occur.
Dr. r. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes:
J. 'Peruna is the best medicine know Of
for cough and to strengthen weak storn-
ach and to give appetite. Besides pre-
scribing it for catarrh, I have ordered it
for weak and debilitated people, and have
not had patient but said it helped him.
It Is an excellent medicine and it fits
SO many cases.
= 'I have a large practice, and have a
chance to prescribe your Peruna. / hope

pie say Peruna cures catarrh. Prominent
men and woman all over, the, United
States. from Maine to California, do not
hesitate to come out in public print to
say that Peruna is what it Is recon-
mended to be. an internal, systemic ca
tarrh remedy that cures catarrh wherever
1t may be located.
Dr.. M. c. Gees Experience.
DR.. M. c. Gee is one Of the physicians
who tndorse Peruna. In letter written
from 513 Jones street, San Francisco
Cal. he says:
There is general objection on
the part Of the pracHcing physician
to advocate patent medicines, but
when any one medicine cures hun
dreds of people, it demonstrates its
own value and does not need the
Endorsement of the profession.
'5Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures in San Francisco that
I am convinced that it is valuable
remedy. have frequently advised
its use for women, as I find it insures
regular and painless menstruation,
cures leucOrrhoea and ovarian trou-
bles and builds up the entire system.
I also consider It one of the finest
catarrh remedies I know of. I hearth
ly indorse your medicine."-M. @.
Gee, M. D.

Women are especially liable 20 peav16

monty called. Especially in the first few
weeks of warm weather do the Disagree
able symptoms of female weakness make
themselves apparent. In crisp, cold
weather chronic sufferers with pelvic ca-
tarrh do not feel so persistently the de-
bilitating effects Of the drain upon the,

with it's lassitude and tired feelings, the
sufferer with pelvic catarrh feels the need
of strengthening tonic.
Peruna is not only the best spring tonic

will surely convince you that our claims
are valid.

trouble northeast Of Niu-chuang. The
Japanese. it is said, have supplied the
robbers with 1000 modern rifles and
much ammunition. French cores
spondents from Mukden report that
the Japanese up to last Monday had
made no demonstrations near Liao-
yang. These correspondents are now
with the Russian forces south Of here,
but American and British correspon-
dents are not permitted to see the
fighting. Viceroy Alexien has issued
a proclamation to the effect that all
traffic on the Lao river south Of Muk-
den must stop, and that foodstuffs
must be delivered to the Russians.
According to native reports, the
Russians are losing thousands Of
horses from glanders.
Foreign military attaches who wit

lery is superb and that the Japanese
army is equal to the best Of European

Chairman Of the Democratic State

Major J. M. Bowler who was chair

Your reporter in yesterdays

The chair felt Oft the enemy's posi-
ton to- the point where riot and per-
haps bloodshed would have resulted
if the reconnaissance had been pushed
duce such a result. The game was
not worth the candle, and did not
desire to shoulder the responsibility
of continuing the disgraceful scene
