Medical Men Interested.

DR.. G.. A. Jones', an account of
whose rapid recovery from what
apparently was the last stages of
tuberculosis, after coming from
Washington to Beltrami county,
was recently published in the
Pioneer, has received a letter
from the editor of the Lancet, a
medical journal asking him to
write a story of the case. The
doctors recovery is regarded as
unique in medical history and is
a strong argument in favor of
what a northern Minnesota eli
mate will do for consumptives.
The doctor is informed that the
case has attracted the widest at
tention of medical men and he
will write the Lancet his best &C
count of the case.

bad half hours for the past

and there was a tilt between
w. A. Cassler and D. Booth.
Mr.. Cassler accused Mr.. Booth
of bad faith in the Trask matter
and took him to task in no un-
certain manner for causing to
be published an article in which
he stated that he had no connec-
ton with the boards action re-
garding the matter. He re-
minded Mr.. Booth of several oc.
casions when he lad referred
to Mrs. Trask's incompetency
and had criticised her record as

she maintained in her depart.
ment at the school. Mr.. Booth
defended himself by denials and
the controversy reached the white
heat stage. Mr.. Cassler.stated
there was no need for Mr.. Booth
to get his head swelled or to at
tempt to place the board in bad
odor on account of Mrs. Trask S
resignation as he had given the
board every reason to believe that
he was heartily in favor of the
move. Mr.. Booth retaliated by
making the statement that there
were other people who were
troubled with hypertrophy ard
Mr.. easier promptly reminded
him that he was not large enough
in stature to reduce the swelling.
Just about this time attorney
L. III. Bailey came in and remark
ed that it was a beautiful
day and everybody drew a long
breath of relief. The board then
fell to discussing the early clos.
ing of the schools and during the
remainder of the meeting there
was no further trouble. No def.
mite decision was reached in the
matter.

Poor Farm Crowded to Ca.
pacity With Well Pleased
Paupers.
HARDTODISTINGUISH BETWEEN
WORTHY AND UNWORTHY.
Consomme Clear Dinners Will Be
Served in Future Without
Of Fringes.

The crowded condition Of the
county poor farm is becoming a
problem to the county poor au
thorities. For some time past
the farm has had over thirty
paupers and the Accommodations
for lodging have been taxed up
to their full capacity. Not all
the paupers are men Of honor,
however, and many of them to
use the expression of the county
commissioner are from Texas
when it comes to leaving the
farm and must have 1T shot into
them.
The authorities at the farm
have all along tried to treat the
paupers well, but they find that
it is resulting in abuses which
must be checked. Not a few of
the inmates are woodsmen, who
do not have hospital tickets and
who ome=to the farm to recover
from injuries sustained in the
woods. In almost every case
they are loath to leave, and just
about the time it becomes APP
parent that they are sufficiently
recovered to shift for themselves
they are suddenly taken with the
most serious relapses.
Heretofore the fare at the
county poor farm has been quite
as good as that which is served
at the average farm but it has be-
come evident that something
must be done to5stay the popu-
larity of the place and County
Commissioner Wright is today
preparing bill Of fare which
will not be up to the old standard
of the farm but will be sufficient
for all requirements. Hereafter
the paupers will be fed on only
the most plain and wholesale food
and there will be none of the
frills and fringes which tickle
the palate and the stomach as
we'll and make life at the poor
farm. The paupers will be well
housed and well fed, but every
effort will be made to prevent
the farm from becoming = refuge
to the unscrupulous wayfarer
who is not deserving of public
entertainment.
