There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and

posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-

by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in

catarrh to be a constitutional

Bemidji, MINI. March 4, 1905.
Bemidji Pioneer,
Bemidji, MINI.
Gentlemen;-
Truer words never fell from
the lips of man or graced the
columns of a country newspaper,
than those contained in the col
umns of the Bemidji Sentinel
under date of March End, 1905,
when the esteemed editor, and
as he will admit himself, the
shrewdest politician in the north.
west, stated that he was induced
to take up my candidacy for
County Commissioner of the
4th District last fall with the
view to "make something out of
me-" That the editor, through
the medium of his political organ,
The Sentinel, did endeavor to
further my candidacy for the
Office, to which I was afterwards
elected, am in no position to
deny, but little did I dream at
the time that his powerful infu-
ence was being swayed east
and west, north and south and
clear around the boundaries of
the 4th district, that his ultimate
object was to :smake something
out of me. +" Not until Mr.. Hays
agreed to save me harmless on a
first mortgage on certain pro
perty if / would sign his bond
for $500, and after signing the
bond found that he only had a
second mortgage on an undivid-
ed half interest to give, did I for
the first time realize in all it's
significance, the fact that che
wanted to make something out of
me-" To pay the amount of the
bond if Hayes defaulted: would
more than cost me my whole
years earnings, and then he
''would make something out of
me-" It took me three days of
hard work to get off that bond
and thus keep him from making
something out Of me-" He might
just as we'll try to make some
thing more out of his quondam
landlord, M. b. Ibertson, as to
try ''to make something out of
me-" We are both of US onto his
game and I opine that he will
make nothing of either of us. It
is my purpose to be honest and
fair as member of the board of
county commissioners, and as a.
member of the board I wont let
anyone "make something out of
me-"
If M. Hays considers my time
in getting off Mr.. Hays obliga
tons worth the amount he claims
against me for advertising, I will
consider the incident closed.

UNIVERSAL PEACE.

Eight or ten years ago the advent
of universal peace was extensively adj
vertised on the bills. 1t seems, however,
to have. been somewhat like the TEA
lures advertised for circuses. Possibly
it got sidetracked at some way station
and has been overlooked. At any rate
although it was announced that the
coming of the twentieth century would
see the end of the last war, since that
announcement the United States has
had its war with Spain. England has
had a tremendous conflict in South At
RIGA, Russia and Japan have fought to
finish, while France and Germany are
doing a terrible lot of clustering.
Still, with such individuals as Theo-
dore Roosevelt among the worlds first
and most influential citizens, universal
peace may not be SO far off as it now
seems.

THE STATE FAIR.

Jupiter Pluvius seems to be unusually
propitious for Topeka's big fair week.
Topeka therefore has on her best dress
and sweetest smile and will try to enter
tain her visitors accordingly.
The promoters of the fair are endeav-
oring to once more place Kansas in the
class of western agricultural states that
have for years been famous for their
big fairs. Kansas formerly had big
state fair, conducted under the direction
of the state board of agriculture but it
seemed impossible to make it a financial
success without state aid, and it was
finally allowed to go down. In other
states the state fair is backed by the
state financially, but the promoters of
the present fair are conducting it en-
tirely without any aid from the state
If fair weather continues throughout
the week it may be financial
success. Its promoters are hoping so,
at any rate
1t is undoubtedly true that a big fair
at which the live stock and agricultural
interests of the state shall be represent
ed in a sharp competition, bringing out
what can be done in the way of irnprov-
ing stock and crops, is an excellent thing
for the state. It not only increases in
tereSt in bIooded stock and improved
seed, but by SO doing it creates a mar
ket for those that have these things
for sale.

SCHOOL BEGINS.

This morning Little Johnnie and his
Sister Sue took their respective books
and states under their respective arms
and trudged more or less willingly off
to school. Vacation is over and once
more the young idea will be taught to
shoot. aiming high, and hitching its
wagon to a star, If a somewhat free
mixture of metaphor is permissible.
Topeka has a first class public
school system, but it is difficult to con-
vince the average small boy of any of
its beauties while the fish are still
biting, and especially while the state
fair is in progress. Very likely the
Topeka portion of Young America will
consider itself grossly imposed upon,
to be compelled to sit indoors and do
more or less porting over books, while
wild west show with real Indians
and cowboys is encamped at the fair
grounds, along with so many other at
tractive features. But this is one of
the things Young America will often
encounter later in the school of life,
and it is good drill for him to. begin
on it early. 1t will teach him to mas
ter himself and make the most of the
inevitable. which is one of the most
important lessons that can be learned.

INCONSISTENT.

Science tells us we should live
AT least hundred years,
so throw your canes and props away
And cut out all your fears:
You aren't old at sixty-five.
AT four score years be gay:
you've twenty more good years to draw
AT least that's what they say.

You have not treated square
ana you have reached three score and ten,
Oh, do not give care;

Your snares for him to set,
In which to bump him if you're smart
So don't forgive him yet
And do not give 1ife's battle up
AT all before your time
At sixty you are Just a kid
At eighty in your prime,
Al ninety you've a decade yet
In which to dare and do
Put backing on your whiskers.
And find a girl to WOO.
Since scientists have told us
We should live a hundred years
Throw down your cake and exc your crutcn
And wipe your rheumy tears:
But scientists are puzzling chaps
While their advice is flung
To us to live a hundred years
They all of them die young

KANSAS AND EUROPE.

Billie Morgan tells an interesting
story Of his European travels and Will
liam Alien White writes eloquently of
the grandeur of the scenery of the
Rockies, but there is no other story
like that of the substantial growth and
development of Kansas during the last
nine years In 1895 bed rock had been
struck in every county in the state. The
last dTegS in the cup of busted boom
had been drained. Nature and man
united in mighty effort to reanimate
the state that foreclosed mortgages,
drouths, hot winds and the Pops. had
about knocked out of existence. Their
efforts were not in vain. 1t was slow
work, but each succeeding year has
added momentum to the forward move
ment. 1t has been an unprecedented
era. The seasons have been favorable;
the soil has yielded bountifully to
honest toll. There has been a market
and fine returns for all products. Money
has flowed into the state in a constant
ly increasing stream Debts have been
| liquidated and the erstwhile borrower
has become a loaner. Renters have
purcha sed land and those who already
| had farms have increased their hold
| ings. Prices have gone skyward until
today men look heavenward more than
they ever did before. Money is so plen-
! tiful that L little matter of $547 600 of
the states funds tied up in a bank fail
ure scarce occasions a ripple except to
call attention to the fact that other
than the prohibitory laws are violated
in the state and the seeming inability
or the disinclinationsof the governor to
see that they, are enforced. On the
farms and in the cities there is improve
ment everywhere. i'm Europe or the
Rockies there is an everlasting monot-
ony and eternal sameness. The. past,
the present, the future are all alike.
Every day is Sunday there. But in
Kansas it is transformation, change,
everywhere, and it is all for the better.
What has been accomplished in the past
nine years is apparent, but no prophet
can foretell what may be in store for a
state and people which in so short a
time has accomplished so much.-King-
man Courier-Leader.

Tattooing.

There are two sorts of tattooing in
use among the women of the Congo.
One is common to all the members of
the same tribe and indicates the origin
and birthplace of the subject. 1t is an
infallible and perpetual certificate of
birth and nationality. The other sort
of tattooing is simply fantasy and
coquetry. But among certain tribes
there is a third kind. The women
record upon their bodies the epochs of
their existence A horizontal line
marks marriage, oblique lines the
birth of children, a vertical line wean-
ing, another line change of residence.
Thus the autobiography of the woman
Is written upon her person and re-
garded with pride IL it is full of events.
