citation, announces that he has closed
a contract with the famous Paul
Bros. of Wabasha, where Prof. John
Paul will give a balloon ascension
and parachute leap each day of the
forthcoming county fair, September
24-25-26.
Professor Paul is one of the most
famous aerialists in the country"
says Secretary Mackenzie, and as
he has a very large ballon, he will
give fine ascension"
"A feature of the daily ascensions
will be trip into the clouds, with
leap for earth, by several local
enthusiasts" continued the secre=
tary.
''On the first day, ]. T. Dolan,
better known as lack" and who
travels for the Twohy-Eiman Mer-
camille company, will go up with
the aeronaut. Mr.. Dolan made
several ascensions while a resident
of Rhinelander, Wis, some years
ago. .r~
The second day, A. P. White, the
popular banker will ascend. Mr..
White is greatly interested in balloon
ing, and it is reported that he has
recently become a member of the
Twin city Aero Club.
The third day it is expected that
one of the successful candidates at
the primaries will go up"

BEMIDU PUBLIC SCHOOLS
- OPEN NEXT TUESDAY
Meyers Dwelling Corner Third Street and Mississippi
Avenue to Be Used-Three Additional Teachers Added
to Corps-Manual Training Added to Course.

The time has again come when it
is necessary to announce to the
patrons of the Bemidji public schools
that school is about to open and to
ask that parents see to it that the
children come on the first day and
attend regularly throughout the year:
We we're in hopes, last spring,
that we would be in better and more
convenient quarters in some respects
by this time; but this is not so, and
we will have to make the best of
what we have.
During the coming year school will
be held in the three buildings belong
ing to the district as last year; also
in the Meyers dwelling at the corner
of Third St. and Mississippi avenue.
just across the street from the old
Catholic church building. This is
not an ideal school building, but
was the best the district could find
at this time.
The Central building is being
improved; another entrance to the
basement has been provided and the
heating and ventilating system has
been entirely remodeled.
The basement room under the new
part will be used for manual train
ing and commercial work.
AS it will be impossible to seat
all the high school pupils in the
assembly room, two rooms will be
used for that purpose.
The course of study has been
extended and manual training will
be included. The work in science
and commerce has been enlarged.
Excepting for our crowded con-
dition in outside buildings, the
prospects are good for a splendid
years work.
Three additional teachers have
been added to the corps this year.
Several of those who taught here
last year have resigned and their
places will be taken by new teach
ers.
The work in manual training
may not begin the first week as
the man who was elected to the
position resigned last week, having
been appointed assistant engineer on
one of the Pa. railroads, and his
successor has not yet been selected.

the Meyers building. Those belong
ing to the first four grades and liv-
ing west of Irving and north of
Tenth street will report at the Fiji
teenth street building; all others will
report at the Central building.
1t will be of great service to the
teachers if the parents would send
to each teacher their place of re- ST.
dence, that each child's home may
be definitely located.
The cooperation of all interested
in the welfare of the schools is
earnestly solicited.
Respectfully yours,

DRAW LARGE CROWDS
Office at All Bemidji Avenue.-A Haven
for the Sick, Lame, Blind or
Deaf.

The renowned young man who
has been promising such wonderful
things from the use of his New Dis
covery, is undoubtedly showing his
audiences nightly that he is not
making any idle boasts. Persons
reading of his phenomenal work,
were no doubt skeptical in regards to
the veracity of the reports of the
extraordinary work of this young
man, but as the proof of the pudding
is in the eating of the same, so, what
the eyes see, the heart must believe,
Anyone attending his lectures and
hearing the many testimonials from
prominent people can readily see
why he has become so. popular with
the citizens of Bemidji.
Thousands of people are taking
advantage of the ideal weather to
visit his eccentric and - original
lectures on the ailments of mankind.
Among the many prominent people
who have been cured through the
agency of Vupillat's New Discovery
are the following:
Mts. il. Coleman of 112 10th,
St. Fargo, N. D. whose husband is
desk sergeant at police headquarters
in that city, stated that she had
been suffering from rhuematism for
the past five years; it being almost
impossible for her to walk without the
aid of clutches. After using two pack
ages of the New Discovery she was
entirely cured
Mrs. Ekblad of 10 Third street
north, Moorhead, Mimi, said she
had suffered with catarrh nearly
all her lite; her nose being com
pletely stopped up and having
continual headaches and sore throat
for years, but that at the present
time she is entirely cured after
using Vurpillat,s New Discovery.
Want of space prohibits the publica-
ton of the thousands of testimonials
that .Vurpillat has in his possession.
The Office at All Bemidji Ave-, is
open daily from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.
Consultation, examination and adj
vice free to all who call.

Statement by Mr.. Fisk.

In reply to an attack made in a
circular letter sent out by Mr..
McKusick, Mr.. Fisk makes the fol-
lowing statements:
MIR. Chester McKusick, one of
my opponents, has, I regret, in his
circular communication of August
addressed to the members of the
Beltrami County Tax League, stated
that E. E. Mcdonald is my general
or manager in this contest for county
attorney.
HIS STATEMENT is ABSOLUTELY
FALSE. I am managing my own
campaign.
Mr.. Mcdonald has known me
since boyhood and I hope that my
conduct and experience has been
such as to secure for me the support
of all who have known me as he has.
If elected I shall do everything
in the power of the county attorney
to prevent the illegal or extravagent
expenditure of public funds and
secure fair, full and equal assess
ment of ALL PROPERTY for the pur-
pose of taxation without regard to
who is the owner.
Yours very truly,
D. H. Fisk"

HALE'S STATEMENT.
Commissioner

Sensational charges come from
East Tennessee of a political deal
which involves Governor Patter-
son and "Dick" Austin, generally
regarded as a Republican bolter.
Postmaster j. G. Hale of Win
chester says Patterson made the
deal. Hale is the Sanders leader
in Franklin County, a wealthy
nurseryman and is brother of
Congressman Nelson W. Hale of
Knoxville. While attending the
Congressional Convention at Chat
tanooga Saturday he made some
sensational statements regarding
the political situation in the old
Volunteer State.
Mr.. Hale made the statement in
a caucus of Republicans at the
court house in Chattanooga be-
fore the meeting of the convention
that there was a deal on between
Governor Patterson and Dick
Austin to defeat his brother, Con-
gressman Hale, for Congress in
the Second District.
"Dick Austin" Mr.. Hale said
sis a bolter, and hopes, through
the influence of Governor Patter-
son, to beat my brother. But he
willnever do it.. Ashbury Wright
is a candidate for Governor to
strengthen Austin in the Second
District and to reelect Patterson.
On this condition, Patterson is to
throw his friends to Austin in the
Second District"

BADLY NEEDED.

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
tits beginning to dawn on some
of our citizens that Camden needs
a system of water works. Every
patriotic citizen will admit that in
order to protect the health of a
town the size of Camden, we must
install water works system.
Several of our leading citizens
have been discussing the matter,
and every man, woman and child
in town should join in agitating
this question.
Camden not only needs water
works for sanitary purposes and
for the its conveniences, but fo1
sprinkling our streets ard for pro-
lection against loss by fire.
We should wake up and go to
work and stay at work until the
town secures water works. There
is no question about it, system
must be installed sometime. Why
not now? We would like to hear
from others on this subject.

THE PUBLIC ROADS.
Editor THE CHRONICLE.

Editor THE CHRONICLE,
Each male citizen of Benton
County over 21 years of ege is re-
quired to work the road five days
or pay Is cents q day. Now and
then a man is found who does not
believe he could be made to com
ply with the law and refuses to
work the road. OF course, after
they make an investigation, they
find they are in error and are will
ling to work or pay the required
amount.
We mention this to show the
tendency to shirk duty every
man owes to his county and to his
neighbor. AS a rule the work on
the roads is done in half-hearted
way or any way to kill time.
This should not be. 1t is fact
that Benton County has thename
of having the worst roads in the
State. Why is it SO? Would il
be SO If every man did his duty?
Take them as a whole and tho
roads of our county were never in
a worse condition, and just why
citizen should refuse to help to do
hisfull part toward bettering them
we can not understand. This is
the best season Of the year to work
the roads, and every man should do
his best to help get them in good
shape for next winter.
