The Pioneers Home

Major A. J. Doran is in receipt of news that the territorial board of control intends soon to begin the preliminary work toward the build ing of the Pioneer home in Pres
 colt, and after the project is defi-
 nitely decided upon to center their personal and official efforts toward the consummation of it. To this end it is their purpose to have the building ready for occupancy by the first day of July next at the farthest, when the admittance of the pioneers will commence. Sev- eral applications are on file and some of the men who in the eos were good ones will enter through misfortune in their long fight to make the territory what it is. Con- siderable interest, Major Doran says, is expressed all over Arizona toward the laudable move and there is no doubt but what several wealthy people will endow it with handsome sums.-Prescott Courier.

THE GOVERNMENTS
 DIVORCE STATISTICS

If you are married or about to be married, the governments latest statistics showing the probability ot divorce may be of interest to you. During the twenty year period from 1887 to 1906 the record of all regis. tered marriages in the United States totalled 12.832,O44 and the courts granted freedom to S2O,2 unhap- py conples.
 From this it IS plain to see that your chances of divorce are about one to fifteen, so the odds are fairly long that if you are already mar ried or later do marry, death, and not the divorce courts, will sever your bonds.
 Wives who seek freedom will be interested to know that 666 per cent of all decrees have been grant ed to wives, and that alimony has been allowed in two cases out of every twenty-two.
 Divorce is most frequent in the fourth and fifth years of married life. Actors and showmen are the most frequently divorced classes.
 Commercial travellers come next  on the list of guilty. Agricultural laborers are the prize winners for matrimonial constancy. Clergymen are next desirable.
 About one third of those divorced remarry, and divorcees enjoy an advantage over widows in this re- spect, due as the unfeeling govern ment ungallantly remarks, to the fact that those who get rid of their husbands by law are usually young CT than those who leave his removal to Providence.
 Three out of four applications for divorce are upheld by the courts. All of which indicates that, while matrimonial chances in this land of the free are varied. marriage is no uncertain lottery, but percent age system based on actual records. Chicago Journal.

Railroad from Jerome to Globe

That a railroad will be built from Jerome to Globe, is the statement made recently in Phoenix by E. L. Jordan, a prominent resident of the Verde valley, who is one of the men interested in the scheme.
 According to MT. Jordan's state ment, Mir. McAdoo, the noted New York engineer and builder of the tunnel under the Hudson river, is one of the men interested in the proposed line.
 Should this line go through. it will not only be the means of mak- ing money for the copper companies in the vicinity of Globe and Jerome, but will also open up a great etretch of new and valuable country.

Want Storm Pardoned

A Phoenix dispatch states that the friends of J. F. Storm, the ex- treasurer of Yavapai county, con- victed of embezzlement and sen- fenced to four years in the peniteh- tiary, are making strenuous efforts in his behalf, is proved by the number of petitions for his pardon which are being received at the governors office. Great pressure is being brought to bear on Gov. ernor Sloan, whose home is in Pres. colt. in the hope that Sloan may be saved from four years servitude.
 This-is Storms last hope, every other legal avenue having been fol- lowed to the court of last resort. What action will be taken by the governor cannot be anticipated.
 But short time remains before Storm will be sent to Florence un- less a pardon is issued. The efforts of Storms friends are being direct ed in securing a pardon before he suffers the ignominy of donning prison garb, though the governor may pardon him at any time. One feature of the case is that the pres. ent governor who has the pardon ing power was the judge before whom Storm was tried and con- victed.

The Santa Fe railroad company is sen ding out circulars calling at- tenti on to the United States Land and Irrigation Expos.s:on, which opene,i in the Coliseum Building in Chicago last Saturday and closes on Decemb CT 4. This exposition is taking on a national significance and has brought under one roof a really comprehensive review of the splendid opportunities offered the ambitious, in the rapidly growing South and West. It is something more than a pumpkin show; it is a demonstration of the newer agri- culture which has doubled the yield, increased the flavor and null tiplied the food value of the pro- ducts of the soil. It is promised that the results obtained by the irrigation of the arid country and the drainage of the over wet, will be set forth in a way that will 1n- terest and instruct those who at tend. It estimated that over half million people will be attracted to Chicago in consequence.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 2I-Rufus w.
Peckham, associate justice of the
United States supreme court, is dead
at Coolmore, his summer home at AL
lamont. Death was due to a compli-
cation of diseases, heart trouble,
Brights disease and hardening of the
arteries contributing.
3: Justice Peckhanl had been in i'll
health for some time, but his condi-
ton was not considered serious until
recently. Following adjournment of
the May term of the United States
supreme court he came on from Wash
ington with Mrs. Peckham to spend
the summer at Altamont, expecting
to return for the beginning of the
October term A few days ago his

time or might linger for several
months.

1888, and had been on the bench, state
and federal, for twenty-six years. He
came from the court of appeals of his
native state, a position which his
father before him had occupied. He
was the last of President Cleveland's
Democratic appointments to the fed
eral supreme court, Chief Justice Full
Ter and Justice White being the other
two. He took his seat in January,

COMMEMORATE ACTION.

The action of the city council in
unanimously voting to revoke the
license Of T. Dugas, because of the
alleged fact that Dugas had sold
liquor to Indians and had thereby
violated an agreement made between
the saloonkeepers and the Brewers,
is a commendable act; and this
action illustrates very forcibly that
Bemidji people do not countenance
such violations of the law, and will
assist in all possible ways in sup
pressing the liquor traffic among the
reds.
There was possibility that the
special officer in charge of this
suppressing of. the liquor traffic
among the Indians would have
closed every saloon in this city, had
the council refused to revoke the
license of one against whom charges
were made of having continuously
sold liquor to Indians, the charge
being backed up by afidavits of
agents who made the charge direct.
The charge was denied, but the
ahidavits appeared conclusive to set
aside the denial; and the council
acted promptly in the matter.
That the Indian department is
determined to stamp out the sale
of liquor to Indians and enforce the
provisions of old treaties if the prac-
tice is not stopped is very apparent;
and if those who are engaged in the
liquor traffic in Bemidji desire to
continue in the business they will do
we'll to strictly obey the state law
regulating this matter and also see
to it that their neighbor also refuses
to furnish fire water" to his red
brethren.

The CAUSE Of COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Prevention
of Coughs and Colds.

If people would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be- avoided. These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces a catarrhal
condition of the mucous membrane,
which is an internal skin of the body.
When this skin is weakened it be-
comes: easily infected with germs
which cause many of the diseases to
which flesh is heir. Healthy mucous
membranes are essential safeguards
of the body's general health: ..
An excellent aid in the prevention
of coughs, colds, pneumonia, and
such like infectious diseases, is
remedy that will prevent or cure
catarrh.
We have a remedy which we
honestly believe to be unsurpassed
in excellence for the prevention of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal con-
ditions. It is the prescription of
famous physician, who has an en-
viable reputation of thirty years of
cures gained through the use of this
formula. We promise to make no
charge for the medicine should it
fail to do as we claim. We urge
everybody who has need of such
medicine to try Rexall Mucu- Tone.
It stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy if it were not pre-
pared to prove the reasonableness
of our claim in every particular, and
we see no reason why anyone should
hesitate to accept our offer and try
it. We have two sizes of Rexall
Mucu-T one, prices SOC and S1.OO.
Sometimes 5O-cent bottle is suffi-
cient to give marked relief. AS
general thing the most chronic case
is relieved with an average of three
large bottles. You can obtain
Rexall Remedies in Bemidji only at
