Railroad Cannot Control
Competing Lines.
STATE BROUGHT ACTION

Ohio Court Decides Hooking Valley.
Railroad Company Is Barred From
Ownership of Parallel Roads ard
Also Declares Illegal and Unwar
ranted the Ownership of Certain
Coal Mines by That Company.
Columbus, O., April 26-The circuit
court of Franklin county has handed
down a decree ousting the Hooking
Valley railroad from control, through
the J. Pierront Morgan syndicate, of
the GAINESVILLE and Western, the To
ledo and Ohio Central and the Kama
Wha and Michigan railroads. The
railroad was also, by the decision,
ousted from it's control Of the Sunday
Creek Coal company, the Sunday
Creek company, the Continental COM
pany and the Buckeye Coal and Rail
way company. The decision is
sweeping one and is given under the
Ohio antitrust law. The decision was
given in the suit of the attorney gem
eral, in the name of the state, against
the Hooking Valley Railway company,
which was prosecuted to a successful
end by Attorney General Denman.
The opinion Of the circuit court
was written by Judge A. I. Aired. It
declares that the ownership by the
Hooking Valley railway of the stock
Of the coal companies-through which
the coal situation in all the Hooking
and Sunday Creek valleys is con-
trolled-is plainly illegal and unwar
ranted.
The court also holds that it is I'M
lawful for the Hooking Valley to con-
troll the Toledo and Ohio Central,
Kanawha and Michigan and Zanes

parallel and competing lines.
The court stated that the testimony
did not seem to warrant an ousting of

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

If people would only properly
fortify and strengthen their system,
about 90 per cent of coughs, colds,
and pneumonia might be avoided.
These troubles are simply the
result of weakness, which produces
a catarrhal condition of the mucous
membrane, which is as an internal
skin of the body. When the skin
is weakened it becomes infected
with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood.
These parasites attack and break
these delicate tissues and set up
a soreness which produce what is
in reality an external scrofula.
The only thing that will cure
coughs and colds and prevent
pneumonia is medication which is
absorbed and carried by the blood
so that the deceased membrane is
disinfected, cleaned, soothed and
healed. -. H.
We have a remedy which we
honestly believe invaluable and un-
surpassable for the prevention and
cure of coughs, colds and all ca
tarrhal conditions. It is the pre-
scpription of famous physician,
who has an enviable reputation of
80 years of cures gained through
the use of this medicine. We prom
Use to either effect cure in every
case or make no charge for the
medicine. We urge everybody in
Bemidji who has need of such a
medicine to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone. ....-.. IN.
It stands to reason that we
could not afford to make such state
ments and give our personal guar
tee to this remedy. if we were not
absolutely positive that we could
substantiate 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 Tone.
Prices SOC and $1.OO. Sometimes
a soc bottle is sufficient for cure.
AS general thing, the most chronic
case is cured with an average Of
three large bottles. Remember. the
medicine will cost you nothing if
you are not satisfied in every par
ticular. Barker's Drug Store.

"BOB' DUNN PAYS HANDSOME COMPLl.
MENT.

r. c. Dunn, whom everybody who
knows him likes to call Bob" pays
the Pioneer and Bemidji the follow
ing handsome compliment:
That Bemidji is busting, grow
ing city is evidenced by a hand
somely illustrated supplement in
magazine form issued by the Pioneer
of that city. The supplement is a
credit to the Pioneer and is in
dlcative of the rapid growth of the
capitol of Beltrami county.
In 1897, we believe, at Detroit,
the county seat of Becker county,
the writer, who was then state audi
tor, sold several tracts Of land, which
are now included in the city of Be-
midi, at from $40 to $50 per acre,
to Harris Richardson of St. Paul.
AT that time Beltrami county was
unorganlzed and only a few log
cabins marked the site of the pre-.
sent prosperous city of Bemidji.
That was before the snort of the iron
horse disturbed the denizens of the
forest wilderness in that vicinity.
Today Bemidji is a railroad center
second only to Crookston in north
western Minnesota, and is an i'm
portant mercantile and manufactur.
ing distributing point.
AS summer resort it offers many
attractions to tourists, as the city is
located on beautiful Lake Bemidji."
