TRAINS ON N. g. |. were
DELAYED LAST EVENING
Waiting for Mainline Train, and Small
Wreck at Turtle River, is the
Cause.

Travel on the M. & l., yesterday
was of the nerve-racking kind, de-
layed trains, small wrecks, etc.,
causing no little vexatiousness to
passengers north-bound.
The regular north-bound passen-
ger train from Brainerd was CON-
PEELED to wait two hours and forty
five minutes at Brainerd for the
arrival of the regular N. P. passen-
ger train from St. Paul, which con-
meets with the M. & I. at Brainerd,
for north-country points. Just what
caused the delay of the mainline
train, was not known. The passen-
ger arrived here at 8:45 p. M, being
nearly three hours to the bad."
The south-bound local freight
train from Big Falls, known as
No. 46, further interfered with the
northward progress of the passenger
by one of the cars of the train going
into the ditch at Turtle River.
No. 46 was just coming into
Turtle River, when a broken hange
on a logging car, six lengths bac k
from the engine, gave way and the
car was hurled into the ditch.
About ESQ ties were torn from the
track and sixty-one rails were dis
placed. Only the car with the
broken fange was injured, the re-
mainder of the train standing up
right.
No one was injured, although
Conductor David Phillips and thu
train crew were considerably shaker
up. -
The wreckage caused by tht
broken car was not cleared away
until 1880, at which time the tract
had been repaired and the passange
train was allowed to proceed to Biz
Falls, just in time to be turne
around for the return journey, south
ward to Brainerd.

That there will be some mighty
hunters trailing through these north
ern woods during the coming big
game season is assured by cores
pondence which the editor of the
Pioneer has had with a number of
good fellows in the different parts of
the state.
Among the number who will come
to Bemidji and hunt big game in
this vicinity is A. V. Rieke of Fair
fax, Minn., an attorney of that
place, and an ex-member of the
state legislature.
Mr.. Reike writes the Pioneer as
follows:

A. G. Rutledge, Bemidji, MINI.
MY Dear Sir:-1 am in receipt
of your valued favor of Oct. 10th, in
answer to a letter of mine, and I
take this occasion to thank you
heartily for the good news and cheer
that your letter contains. Some
thing unusual must take place, or
you will see me there a few days
before the 10th of next month, and
1 shall be greatly pleased to make
your acquaintance.
Nov while I come from country
where the biggest game is gophers
and cottentails, I did not know but
what you might have a few deer
tied to tree that could get. How.
ever be that as it may, I will run my
chance with the rest of them, and il
I have got to 20 home skinned, am
not like the fellow who couldn't
stand it. In one respect, at-least,
hunt just like Teddy Roosevelt; that
is, I could hunt for a week, &c,
nothing and come home sweet on

ExTOLL The BEAUTIES
OF BEM|DJ| AND VICINITY
e. B. LaC0unt and Wife Have Returned
to Their Home at Cedar Rapids,
II Iowa.

That Bemidji and vicinity, with it's
beautiful lakes, streams and timbered
lands, affords a great attraction to
visitors from other points, is attested
by E. B. LaCount and wife of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, who left this morning
for their home, having resided here
since the middle of August.
Concerning his visit here, Mr..
LaCount said:
I had heard much OF Bemidji,
prior to coming here, and was some
what skeptical as to the truth
of all of the many good things
which had been said about this part
of Minnesota. However,, l can
heartily indorse all that was told,
and can add to it, as to the wonder
full development of this country.
What would be most beneficial
for this city, is for your business
men and others to advertise to the
outside world the exact truth of what
you have here, about your beautiful
lakes and other attractions for sum-
mer visitors, and also do not be
backward in extolling the virtues of
your lands for the raising of agri-
cultural products.
This country is all right and any.
one seeking a home should come
here, and will need 20 no further to
find just what he wants."

DEAD SHOT NIMROD WILL
COME FOR BIG GAME HUNT
A. v Rieke Of Fairfax ex.Member of the LEGISLATURE
AyoWs His Intention of ExterminatnG the Deer
and Moose i'm the North Country.

Saturday night. I am told that that
is the secret of good sportsmen, and
if I would not possess that quality,
I would be very much in doubt as to
whether was sportsman at all.
You know if I don't 'toot my
own horn no one would do it for
me.
Only last spring l was on the
Guatamalian border, and I killed
three aligators, one measuring IL
feet long. Of course I had an Indian
guide with me with whom I couldn't
talk and since coming back to the
states have told the story, but can
see that some disbelieve my story.
If could have drawn an affidavit in
the guides own language, or could
have made him understand mine,
might have brought an affidavit back
with me to authenticate my story.
Nov I don't want you to Judge
me as one who talks a great deal
and does little, but say Rutledge,
you can put me on stump. either
pine stump or political stump, and I
will stay there until the finish, and
when I am on a deer hunt, 1 never
say anything.
Expect to get thoroughly &C
quainted with you because only
yesterday met man, and among
other things I mentioned your name
and he said that he was a particular
friend of yours, and told me that if
ever there was a typical Indian in
the northern woods it was you, so I
want to meet you and shake hands
with you. ~>
Again thanking you, for your
kindness, I am,
* Yours very truly,
"A. V. Rieke.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
 Cured by Cuticura.

My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others At the end of about a year and half of suf- fering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be mere skele. ton and was hardly able to walk. l sent to the drug store and got cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Rem edies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shel- don, R. F. D. No 1, Wcodyille, Conn, April 9, 1905"

POPULAR APPROVAL OF THEFT.
English Writer Sees Significance in
 Glorification of Robbers.

The idea of private property has never been fully accepted by the masses of the people. and never had their cordial approval as an institu- ton, says a writer in the London News. The most popular songs and ballads of our nation in all ages. it may be noted, have been those which described sympathetically attacks on private property, from the Robin Hood cycle to the broadsheets in which Turpin and Sheppard were made heroes.
 Even nowadays the literature that really touches the people, the litera- ture that the educated classes seldom so much as see exposed for sale, the literature that is sold in the small general" shop in the back street, and costs fewer pennies than the novel we know costs shillings, still very largely deals with the romantic exploits of the robber He is never villain; he is noble and generous to fault; but he is convinced of the impropriety of persons having too much money.

Electric Lines to Zinc Mines.

Produce of all kinds have to be shipped and it is impossible to STOW anything in that territory.

Problems Raised By Two. Cent Rate.

Problems Raised By Two. Cent Rate.
 4 rather peculiar situation has been developed by the new two-cent rail road rate law in Arkansas, and many questions are confronting the passen- ger departments of the different roads. For instance:
 The Cotton Belt depot at TeXarkan9 is only few feet across the Arkansas line, but a traveller purchasing tick ct there for a point in Arkansas must ray at the rate of three cents mile. The new two-cent rate law is effective only between +rk9usas points, and although the station at Texarkana is within a stones throw of the boundary line the Cotton Belt holds that the old rate of three cents should ce charged for tickets bought to Ar kansas points. The Iron Mountain depot is within Q short distance of the Cotton Bet. but is within the boundary lines of Arkansas, hence tickets over the Iron Mountain for Arkansas points can be purchased at the rate of two cents 8 mile. How ever, the Iron Mountain maintains the old rate for tickets purchased to any point outside the state, and has done away with the old l 1-2 cent per mile clerSy and charity rate.

 My health was excellent until about a year ago, when had a complete col lapse fro,a overdong socially, not get ting the proper rest, and too many late suppers. My stomach was in a dread ful condition, and my nerves all un- strung.

 At the end of that time my health was restored my nerves no longer troubled me, and I felt myself once more and able to assume my social position. I certainly feel that Peruna Is deserving Of praise.
