that is to have halliday sessions for
those children. This will not be
satisfactory to parents in many in
stances, but no teacher can do JUS
tlce either to her children or herself
with so many children present in the
room.
There is also another factor that
makes the work difficult. The new
laws are putting into school a good
many children who have never been
in school before, These children are
old for she grades and II becomes a
problem to know how to adjust work
for 6-year-olds, and l4-year-olds at
the same time especially in rooms
that are so overcrowded.
The lower grades at the Jefferson
school are not overcrowded. though
each teacher has fair number of
pupils. My suggestion Is that the
boundaries of the Jefferson school be
enlarged before the opening OF the
second semester BY taking in the
six blocks from Seventh to Ninth be-
tween Kentucky and Jefferson and
making the western boundary of the
jefferson school Eleventh street in
stead of Tenth. the Washington
school will be slightly relieved, and
the Jefferson school slightly in

The trend of population seems TO b.

Review (and we presume written by
our old friend E. G. Kiley), is so.
true to latter-day life that we repro.
duce it for the consideration Of the
youth Of Bemidji:
Young man. let us give you the
benefit of our observation. We have
noticed that at least nine-tenths Of
the young men who have been before
the courts for nisdemeanors are
those who take no interest whatever
in education, seldom read a news
paper, and are always ready to make
fun of other young men who use
correct language and try to be some
body. A. It comes natural to them to
discourage the studious and ambi-
tious young men of their acquaint-
ance. Their minds run towards
dirty stories, midnight sprees and
bad company. This in a short time
means trouble, a sheriff's invitation
to attend court, and a fine or term in
iail."

SECRETARY MACKENzIE's REPORT.

Elsewhere in this issue of the Pho
neer we give full statement. made
by w. R. Mackenzie, secretary of
the Beltrami county Agricultural as
ISOLATION, who had charge of the
1908 farmers fair
The report is a very encouraging
one, and shows that the association
is really in good condition. For
this result, the association can thank
Mr.. Mackenzie and his associates
who had charge of the fair. Mr..
Mackenzie went ahead, practically
on his own hook" and conducted
the fair, when nearly every person
was Knocking" the association and
the fair, right merrily. He did not
get discouraged, but went ahead in
in his own way and prepared a fair
that was very interesting to the
farmers of Beltrami county, as we'll
residents of the city who recognize
that farming is the real industry for
the future welfare of this city and
county.
The 1908 fair was handled in a
very economical manner, and con-
sidering the adverse conditions
that were thrust upon Mr.. Macken.
zie and President Malzahn, they
did splendidly; and they deserve
the united thanks of all.
The Pioneer prints the statement,
together with all other matter con-
corning the fair which has appeared
heretofore in the Pioneer, absolutely
free of charge. And in this con-
nection, it is interesting to note that
the Pioneer was the only paper pub
lished in the county that printed
the full premium list which was
gotten out prior to the fair. We
have done this with no other pur-
pose than to assist, by every means
at our command, in furtherjng the
welfare of any enterprise that will
benefit Bemidji and Beltrami
county.
The fair association should re-
elect Secretary Mackenzie, if he
will accept reelection, and place
him in full charge of the fair and all
of the associations affairs.

BURIED BY FALLING FLOOR
One Dallas (Tex.) Fireman Killed and
Five In ured.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. Fire caused
the death of Fireman J. H. Partin, the
serious injury Of five other firemen
and property loss estimated at $780,
900 in the heart of the business dis
trict here. Shortly after the fire was
discovered on the second floor of the
building occupied by H. J. Blakeney
to the west of the establishment of L.
Craddock & Co., wholesale liquor
dealers, on Elm street, an explosion
occurred in the liquor house which
sent shower of glass to the street
below and shook the walls of the
burning structure. The fire then
spread to the furniture establishment
of William Kelley and the Egan-Farry
Electrical company's storerooms.
When the firemen had crowded into
the Craddock building in order to
reach the blaze in the heart of the
block the entire second floor fell upon
them, bearing with it it's enormous
weight of barrel goods.

RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are Well?

Are You Sure Your Kidneys Are Well?
Many rheumatic attacks are due
to uric acid in the blood. But the
duty of the kidneys is to remove
all uric acid from the blood. Its
presence there shows the kidneys
are inactive. Don't daily with
"uric acid solvents" You might
60 on till doomsday with them,
but until you cure the kidneys you
will never get we'll. Doan's Kid
ney Pills not only remove uric
acid, but cnre the kidneys and
then all danger from uric acid is
ended. Here is Bemidji testimony
to prove it.
Mrs. Mary A. Cochran, living at
1914 Mississippi Ave., Bemidji,
Mimi, says: Il had been suffer-
ing from rheumatism for over ten
years and was troubled with this
complaint for so long that I never
expected to get relief. My kid
neys were badly disordered for two
or three years and despite the
many remedies I tried, I did not
get any better. At last Doan's
Kidney Pills were brought to my
attention and I procured a box at
the Owl Drug Store. I have been
using them for some time and
there is a great Improvement in
my condition. Doan's Kidney
Pills helped me more than any
remedy previously tried and l am
feeling much better.
