A MONSTER TAPE WORM
DESTROYED.
Mr.. W. NJ. Washington of Bemidji
Tells Wonderful Story.
Office at All Bemidji Ave., Will Be
Kept Open Sunday.

The tremendous crowds that are
attending the free lectures and enter
ment given by the Great Vur-
pillat on show grounds, corner of
Bemidj il avenue and Fourth street,
are increasing and at the office at
all Bemidji Ave-, testimonials from
local people are pouring in.
If anyone should doubt the popu-
larity and ability of this young man,
a visit to his open air lectures will
dispel all doubt. He welcomes The
man from Missouri" and is always
willing to show him. All day
long visitors come in streams to tell
what the remedies have done for
them in the quiet of their homes.
One happy caller was Mr.. w. M.
Washington, who lives on the Park
Rapids road, who brought with him
tin wash basin containing a live
tape worm, which he said had passed
from his system.
In speaking of his case at the
Office, before fully fifty people, Mr..
Washington said:
AT times I felt sick all over.
cannot describe with words the
awful feeling that came over me.
Some mornings I would get up with
a bad taste in my mouth. I had a
dull, sick headache and pains in the
small of my back, and would some
times feel as if I had lump in my
stomach.
II have been told by physicians
that I had bad case of stomach
trouble, and have been taking medi
cine for years, but have never founc
anything to help me. In the last
three or four years I have lost ir
weight over fifty pounds.
I was advised by Mr.. Streeter
the laundryman, to try Vurpillat':
New Discovery, and after taking {
few doses, passed this large tape
worm.
II feel greatly relieved already
and am convinced that this parasite
was the cause of my stomach trouble
II shall always be thankful fo1
the doctors visit to Bemidji. Be
yond a doubt he has the most
wonderful remedies in the world anc
I can truthfully recommend them t.
anyone suffering as I did" !"

Fine Boy for C. F. Schroeder.

c. F. Schroeder, the staunch agri-
culturist who tills the soil in Grant
Valley township, called up the
Pioneer man over the telephone
yesterday and was simply boiling
over with good nature as the result
of the arrival at his place, yesterday,
of nice bouncing fat baby boy
that weighed ten pounds.
There is nothing too good for
Charley" and his most estimable
better half and the Pioneer will
join with the many friends of Mr..

New York, Oct 3.-National
Chairman Mack of the democratic
committee yesterday made an attack
upon the corporation affiliations of
George r. Sheldon, treasurer of the
republican national committee, char
ging that Mr.. Sheldon was at this
time connected with no less than
seventeen corporations. Mr.. Mack
made this statement:
"The trust and other affiliations
OF George r. Sheldon. treasurer OF
the national republican committee

developments in the campaign.
Il wish to recall in this connection
that because of these very associa-
tions of his, Governor Odell, in 1902,
refused to permit the party leaders
to put Mr. Sheldon in nomination for
lieutenant governor.
''Gov. Odell at that time declared
he would not accept the renomina-

Sheldon were named as his running

MURDER CASE FROM HILL COUNTY
The Trial of C. A. Redmon Has Been
Set for November l6.

The case of the state of Texas
against c. A. Redmon, a young man
who is charged with killing j. c.
Robertson, prominent farmer of
Hill county, has been set for trial in
the district court of Ellis county on
November 16. A special venire Of
eighty men has been drawn and Or
dered summoned from which to Sc
lect a jury.
Redmon was brought to Waxaha-
chic Saturday morning by Sheriff
Cox of Hill county and placed in
jail When court convened he was
taken before Judge Hawkins, who
set the date for his trial and entered
an order on the criminal docket that
a special venire of eighty men be
drawn in this case.
The killing of Robertson took
place more than year ago and
created profound sensation in Hill
county. Redmon was indicted by a
Hill county grand jury and subse-
quently placed on trial in the district
court. He was convicted of murder
in the first degree and given term
of ninety-nine years in the peniten-
tiary. The jury deliberated for some
time before agreeing upon a verdict
The degree of the crime was soon
fixed but when 1t came to assessing
the punishment the jury was divid-
ed. On the first few ballots it is said
five jurors favored assessing the
death penalty, The case was taken to
the court of criminal appeals where
1t was reversed and remanded. Red
mons attorneys then filed a motion
for change of venue. The applica-
tion was granted and the case trans
ferred to Ellis county,

How much of their stocks is of the

present time intimately identified

"One of these concerns, the Beth

reason of his present position. No

The corporations named by Mr..
Mack include railway, industrial and
financial concerns here and else

Th,, Kansas City Southern, Katy and

New York, Oct. Negotiations

excellent sources, looking to the sale

railway of it's New Orleans connec-
ton, the Colorado Southern, New Or
leans and Pacific railways.
Statements are made that the Kan
sas City Southern is now in finan-
cial position which will enable it to
purchase the road should it be deem
ed advisable. There is no doubt that
the Kansas City Southern could use
it to more advantage than any other
line with the possible exception of the
Santa Fe.
However, the Santa Fe really has
no great use for it as it is now push
ing a road from Texas toward New
Orleans with the ultimate intention
of securing an entrance to that port
A portion of this road Is now in op-

that while construction will be leis-

mission, but 1t has also grown and

REPUBLICAN
EXTRAVAGANZA.

AS everyone knows, an ad-
mission against ones interest
is regarded as strong evidence.
The rule ought to work in
politics az we'll as in other
things. So, therefore, when a
republican United States sena-
tor makes a speech in the sen
ate in which he declares that
the govern ment's revenues
have 80 decreased that there:
will he deficiency of $50, fJJ,-
900 this year, and yet that, in
the face of this fact, congress
will spend sl5G,UO,OJ0 more
this year than last year, tn.
people can get some idea Of the
extravaganza Of republican
COMMUNICATIONS. The senator
who admitted these facts war
James A. Hemenway of lndi-
ana. Here is his exact langu-
age:
THE attention of the senate
has been called to the fact that
we will have a deficiency Of
sN,0o0.0O this year. My at
tention has just been called to
the fact that the deficiency for
April alone will be $11, 100000.
We have yet the great public
buildings bill, which will add
some twenty odd million dol
lars to the appropriations; the
sundry civil bill will be largely
increased before it is enacted
into law. and predict now that
before congress adjourns we
shall have increased the appro-
priations over last year by
$1D,UO,OD."
The appropriations last year
were the largest in the history
of the country, and now $780,
10000 increase is TO be made
before congress adjourns, and
to be made, too, in spite of
large deficit and decreasing
revenues. What do the tax.
