Many Bemidji People
Well.

Many Bemidii people find that
bad weather brings on a dull pain
in the back, or rheumatic aching,
neuralgia, nervousness, irritability
and weakness. If, when you get

FOR LOSS OF PORT ARTHUR
Russian Press Demands Trial of ku
ropatkin, Alexieff and Others.


st. Petersburg, Feb The pass
ing of sentence of death by court
martial upon Lieutenant General
Stoessel, who was tried on charges of
cowardice and treason In surrender
ing Port Arthur to the Japanese, is
received with little satisfaction in the
Russian capital, where 1t is felt that
the trial of Generals Stoessel, Fock,
Reiss and Smirnoff has done prac-
tically nothing toward establishing
the real responsibility for the fall of
the fortress. The court, indeed, de-
cided the extent of the guilt of Stoes-
sci and the other generals, but it neg.
lected to judge the system of which
they were the product. 1t declined to
admit testimony regarding the pre-
paredness of the fortress at the be-
ginning of the war, the role of the
navy In the defense of marine
stronghold and other underlying fac
tors in the humiliation of Russia
The newspapers express sympathy
with General Stoessel and declare that
the death sentence undoubtedly will
be committed. They demand also that
General Kuropatkin, Viceroy Alexieff
and other officers, still more intimate
ly responsible for the loss of the war,
be placed on trial.

finished looting the car three men
were overpowered by detectives after
a desperate fight. In the arrest of the
men the police believe they have a
gang which has stolen many thou
sands Of dollars worth of goods from
freight cars during the past few
months.

TWO MORE STEEL BRIDGES

The board Of county commissioners
were in session all day Wednesday. as
Well as Tuesday. The most impor-
tant work that engaged the attention
of the board in its two days session
was the opening of bids for the con-
sTuctiOn of two steel bridges across
the Oklawaha river. The bids, hav-
ing been duly advertised. were open
ed Wednesday afternoon It was
found that Messrs. Austin & Company
of Atlanta were the lowest bidders.
and to said company was awarded
the contract for the erection of both
bridges. One is to be placed at the
crossing at what is now known as
Shapes Ferry and the other one at
Moss Bluff The cost Of the bridges
mot including the approaches is
$500 a piece. The board Of commits
siOners have had one steel bridge put
across the Withlacoochee river at
Stokes Ferry, and one across Blue
river just east Of Dunnellon. The
latter bridge is now in use and the
one at Stokes Ferry will be in use
just as soon as the approaches are
finished, which will be very shortly.
There is also an old bridge across the
WithlacOochee near Dunnellon.
Nothing so helps along the prosper
ity of a county so much as good roads
and good bridges and our board Of
county commissioners are to be con
graduated.

says that his town has not yet felt
the depression that is so much COM
mented upon by the press Of the cOun-
try. He says that, on the contrary,
trade has been better at Anthony than
in many years. The erection of the
French Phosphate COmpany's plant
and the talk Of the erection of sever
al others has made trade exceptional
IL active in Anthony. Several hun
dred dollars is turned loose every
two weeks. and this in addition to
the regular trade has frightened up
things considerably. Houses are also
very much in demand and many cot
tages are being erected. The outlook
seems good and the great cost of the
plants indicate that things will so
continue for many years.
