Today we have no less than twenty
recognized colleges of Osteopathy in
the United States. Is thisa "fad"?
Is it possible that when such men as
Mark Twain, Opie Read, Senator
Foraker, Ex-Gov. John P. Altgeld OF
Illinois, and hundreds of other men
of national repute will recommend
Osteopathy that it is a fake? If
you have taken treatment and re-
ceived no benefit, don't say you have
tried Osteopathy, but that you have
tried an Osteopath, for the fault is
in the man, not the science.

The Growth Of 0steopathy.

Twenty years ago there was only
one man in the country that knew of
Osteopathy. Today there is hardly
a man, woman or child whom has
not only heard, but can tell you
something of. it's practice. Many
have been cured of so-called incur
able diseases, others have had friends
cured and all have heard of DR..
Andrew T. Still, an old school physi-
clan who developed the true and
natural method of coping with
disease and for want of better
name christened it Osteopathy. A
better name would have been Physio-
logical healing. Surely no other
system of healing has ever gained
public recognition and adoption so
speedily or so fully. Within fifteen
years ~ OF the states OF the Union
have enacted laws placing the Osteo-
pathic physician on substantially the
same legal plane as the old-school
practitioners, while court decisions
in the remaining states have COM
pleted the OSCILLATIONS.
Over 5000 Osteopaths are already
in practice in every state and terri
tory Of the Union, Canada, Mexico
and in the leading countries of both
Occident and Orient. The treat
ment has gained the highest praise
of the most intelligent citizens of
the nation.

rocate by giving them business. He
urged the grocers and retail mer-
chants to give the newspaper more
loyal support and more business
patronage because every dollar in
vested in them is returned many
fold in value. He closed by speak
ing of the power of the country press
not only in local but in state and
national affairs. Today said Mr..
Schmahl, we pay tribute to tie
memory of Abraham Lincoln. We
reconize his great virtues, his states
manship and his achievements.
Bear in mind, gentlemen, that the
great force behind Lincoln in those
stormy days of Civil War was the
country press of the nation. It stood
by him unswervingly and preached
the doctrine of patience which sent
the soldiers to the field, and served
the nation. 1t is doing the same
today.
1t is standing behind in one solid
phalanx the fearless and courageous
Roosevelt in his demand for square
deal and under its influence, democ-
racy in this land of ours, is to take
no backward STEP"

DR.. S. S. Still says. 1T is not sur
prising that some variations, not to
say advancements, in the theory as
we'll as the philosophy of medicine
marked the closing of the nineteeth
century, when we take cognizance
of the fact that these years wit
messed the discovery of the Roent-
gen and other rays, and the demon
stration of the radioactive elements,
forces or energies, the differentiation
of positive from negative electric
ity, the meteorological factor in
the etiology of disease, the divisibil-
ity of the indivisible atom, the
theory of ions, electrons, monads,
etc, etc. The writer went to Kinks
vile, the mecca of Osteopathy,to see
the old doctor" DR.. A. T. StilD in
the spring of 1894. He found the
school in a little frame building
with only one room, one instructor
and one small class. In addition
to this were the old doctors" DEM
onstrations in the infrmary, which
contained eight treating rooms,
constantly filled with patients
from many different states. The
writer was so favorably- impressed
with Osteopathy that he promised
the odd doctor" to return and take
up the study the next winter. On
his return he was astonished at
the marvellous change that had
taken place in so short a time. A
large brick building had been erected

plete set OF all the different kinds of
literature the department is sending
out in order that it can the more in
diligently cover the various points.
AS loyal Minnesotans, the officers
contend that they cannot do less
than to second the work the COM
missioner Of immigration is doing,
even if they have to pay the printer,
out of their own pockets, the expense
of the circulars.
A recent mornings mail is an
illustration of how the Cass Lake
land office, is being swamped with
inquiries as a result of the adver-
Using campaign carried on by the
Minnesota board of immigration.
On the morning in question, there
were large number of queries
from people of northwestern Canada
claiming to represent a colony of
Germans who settled in that sec
ton several years ago, but who
have experienced crop failures the
past two years owing to the late
and early frosts. Two queries
came from Ohio; one from Kansas;
one from Idaho; two from North
Dakota, and, in addition to these,
there were a large number of in
quiries from people of Minnesota.
We have two more mail trains dur
ing today's Office hours" added the
official, and this mornings mail is

There are hundreds of acres of
fine farming lands in Beltrami and
adjoining counties which may be
secured very cheaply. The land
hungry from the Canadian north
west should back-track to mort hern
Minnesota; it's the ideal spot for the
home-builder.

PAID HIGH COMPLIMENT
TO THE COUNTRY PRESS
Secretary Of State julius SchmahI
Eulogizes Rural Scribe, in Red
Wing Speech.

Recently, at Red Wing, Secretary
of State Julius Schmahl delivered an
eloquent speech, in which be eulo-
gized the country editor and the
rural press. The speech was so full
of wholesome truths, spoken in that
forceful manner so characteristic of
Mr.. Schmahl, that we reproduce
what a Red Wing paper said of the
speech.
Hon. Julius Schmahl, secretary
of state, in an earnest talk paid a
fine tribute to the country press.
He spoke first of the editor and
called the attention of the mer-
chants that the editor was only
human; that he was subject to the
same frailties and errors as the
merchants; he advised the mer-
chants to overlook the errors and
never forget the editor, above all
things, was a continual boomer for
the town and county in which he
resided. A few words of encourage
ment to him from the merchants
and an encouragement along the
substantial line would make him a
better editor and better business
man. Mr.. Schmahl then said that
the country newspaper was the bull
wark of the business interests of
the community which it serves.
Mr.. Schmahl referred to the growth
in self-respect which had come to
the country newspapers of Mime
sofa in the evolution and growth of
the state and emphasized to his
listeners that every paper published
is the best reflection of its town
or community. Every advertise
ment in its columns tells the story
of a live or dead merchant.
He dwelt upon the loyalty shown
by the newspapers in standing by
home and business interests first,
last and all the time and in marked
contrast told of the failure of many
banks and business houses to recip-

James Cahill, who has been city
assessor for a number of years, is an

Cahill and 284 for Miller.
In the first ward three opposing
candidates for alderman were bal

OUTSIDERS WANT TO GET
MINNESOTA HOMESTEADS
People Living in Canada and in IT, s. Make INQUIRIES Of
Land Officers Of Cass Lake....Good Work of
Commissioner Welsh

No better illustration of the effec-
tive work done by the new Mime
sofa department of immigration has
come to light than that exhibited in
a recent statement of the receiver of
the United States land office, at Cass
Lake.
The receiver states that his office
has been receiving an enormous
number of inquiries about govern
ment lands from people in widely
separated localities, including the
states of Massachusetts,, New Jersey,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kan
sas and other states of the Union,
as well as a very large number of
people residing in the Canadian
northwest. Some of the writer's of
these letters state that they are repre-
senting colonies or large number
of friends.
The unusually large number of
these inquiries which make refer
ence to the Minnesota state board
of immigration, represe nted by its
commissioner, George WEIGH, leads
the officers of the Cass Lake land
Office to believe that the literature
sent out by the immigration depart
ment is responsible for the inquiries.
AS result, the officers of the land
Office have decided in view of the
similarity of the requests for infor-
nation, to issue circular printed
at their own expense, which will
constitute more specific reply to
the questions contained in the let
tiers and thus relieve the officers
from getting showed under in at
tempting to write seperate letters to
each.
In order to be better to frame up
such a circular, the officers have
requested the immigration depart

FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Complete Report in This Issue, in Supplement Form
Some Interesting Details of Receipts and Disburse.
ments During Past Year Are Set Forth

With this issue, the Pioneer pre-
sents it's readers with the financial
statement of Beltrami county in its
entirety.
From the statement every reader
will be given a chance to see the
total expense and the to tai
receipts of the county for the
past year, together with the financial
condition of the county as it was
January 1st, 1908.
1t is really to be regretted that so
few citizens take enough interest in
the affairs of the county to read
these statements as they are pub
lished each year.
The financial statement is pre-
pared by the county auditor and
published each year as required by
law, so that every tax payer may
know exactly what disposition has
been made of the public funds.
Every item sets forth and states
exactly what that particular expense
was, and it is published for the
benefit of every tax payer of the
county. The statement is arranged
in manner that every intelligent
reader can readily understand.
1t will be noticed that a number
of classifcations have been made,
these having been made to give the
tax payer a more clear idea of the
different items of expense.
The Pioneer here presents some
figures taken from the prepared
copy, which is for the general
information of it's readers.
During the past year the total
expenditure for the county for all
purposes and interest on county
bonds was 1921, 56O.53. This in
cludes county revenue, road and
bridge, poor, incidental funds and

bills for stationery, which had been
pending for more than a year past,
which at the beginning of the year
1907 were taken up by the board
and allowed. These amounted to
S719.1S. This makes the real ex-
pense of 1906, $3,144S5 and 1907,
| S2470.29. Legal publications in
1907 cost s204O.s2.
The total expenditure for the poor
during the year foots up to $9,871.32,
distributed as follows: board and

than at the farm, $914.32; transpor-
tation for dependence to other
points for care, S142.77. Salary for
overseer of poor farm, $115O.
Owing to the number of criminal
prosecutions and the expenses and
difficulty in securing jurors and the
long distance which witnesses had
to travel, the district court expenses
for the past year have been exceed
ingly heavy, as will be seen by the
following comparative table for the
years I9O6-1oO7.

CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS DENIES
BAIL TO CONVICTED BANKER MORSE

His wife and son Harry had been with
him in the Jail during the afternoon
and they encouraged him in the belief
shat he would be free by nightfall.
Mrs. Morse and her son left the prison
before the decision had been rendered
and the news was conveyed 10 the
prisoner by an assistant in his coun-
sells office.
While Morse tried to hide his disap-
pointment, he felt too east down TO do
so He walked to the rear of his cell
and sat on the edge OF his hard, narrow
berth and refused to make any COM
ment. Judge Hough gave as his reason
for refusing TO admit Morse TO bail
that the case was not an extraditable
one and that it would be easy for
Morse to furnish bail through a bond
ing company, as the prisoner was
worth SO, 00o. 000. Morse. in an aft
davit presented to the judges of the

he was a millionaire. saying that he
had not enough money or securities TO
meet his obligations
It is said that the Morse attorneys
will file a bill of particulars. as Morse
is exceedingly DESTROYS of obtaining his
