Millions of Lives Lost
An Awful Toll Collected by
Consumption. Many Un-
necessary Deaths from
this Disease.

II people could only understand tina
systemic catarrh is an internal diseas'
that external applications cannot cure
they would not need to be warned 81
often about malady, which, when neg
lected, paves the way oftentimes To-
consumption, at the cost Of millions o.
lives every year. Yet catarrh may b
cured, If the right treatment Is en-
ployed.
Catarrh is caused by general diseased
state of the system which leads common
ly to annoying and perhaps serious loca
conditions, which may prove fertile
breeding ground for germs of consump'
ton. External remedies give but tenn
porary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh lie by employing q medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts of the system, 80 that
the mucous mem brane or internal lining
of the body is toned up and made capable
of resisting the infection of consumption
and other diseases.
We have q remedy prepared from the
prescription of physician who for
thirty years studied and made catarrh
specially, and whose record was a
patient restored to health in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Recall
Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that II
will completely overcome catarrh in all
it's various forms, whether acute or
chronic, that we promise to return every
penny paid us for the medicine in every
case where it fails or for any reason does
not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-Tone
on our recommendation and guarantee.
We are right here where you live, and
you do not contract any obligation or
risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on
our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu-
Tone in two sizes, so cents and Sl.OO
Very often the taking of one 90. cent
bottle is sufficient to make q marked i'm
preston upon the case. OF course In
chronic cases a longer treatment is neces-
sary. The average in such instances is
three 81. 90 bottles. Remember you can
obtain Rexall Remedies in South Paris
only at our store,-The Rexall Store.

woRK.-AN INTERESTING SESSION Al
PARIS TOWN MEETING.

Fairly lively, though never really
acrimonious, were the discussions at the
Paris town meeting, which spent little
less than four hours disposing Of iti
business Monday. Perhaps the matter
of-most interest was the vote to extend
the South Paris sewer.
As will be noted from the table be-
low, the appropriations, together with
the state and county taxes, will make
the assessment for this year $3,660.6s
larger than last year. This indicates
that the tax rate will probably be POI
mills, though considerable increase Of
valuation may keep 1t down to 2 cents.

and located principally in part of the
county that you consider naturally
hostile to the interests of Pembina, that
they being numerically weak, may be
more sensitive to scurilous attacks on
their nationality than people of other
nationalities more fortunate in their
numerical strength.
If such method of dealing with public
questions meets with the approval of

THE ISSUE A SERIOUS ONE.

reiterate the statements above referred
to. You also have been advised that
the committee in charge of the county
seat removal matter in behalf of CaXa.
lier, have taken steps with two different
land owners in Cavalier to secure the
land free to the county that would be
required for q court house site in ease
of removal to Cavalier, in which
neither Mr.. Bryniolfson or myself have
any interest.
As regards the statement that Mr.
Brynjolfson and myself own the Ice
landers, must say that I deny the
allegation aud further deny that have
ever directly or indirectly made such q
statement to anyone, all of which, Mr..
t,rely satisfied that Mr.. Brynjolfson
does not claim any such ownership
either.
How about the Icelanders in Penn.
bina? Are they included in the charge
Cavalier? They should after reading
your article.
Your attempt to make the county
seat issue race issue must, to every
candid and intelligent mind, excite
only feelings Of contempt. Your state
ments in that behalf are an insult to
the Icelandic race, an insult to the
other nationalities residing within th.
townships you mention, an insult to the
citizens Of every other community in
western part Of this county who are
equally ardent and unanimous in sup
port of the county seat removal as the
1celanders, and lastly, an insult to
American citizenship, manhood and de-
cency. I cheerfully admit that am an
Icelander, and instead Of considering it
3 reflection upon myself, I take great
pride in being one Of the Icelandic race.
What you are I do not know, but
whosoever you are, you are here. j
have never heard Of you being charged
with owning Gny nation, but have
heard of you being owned by others,

Cavalier, N. D., June 9th, 1910.

S0MS1l4oA1 4Ms LIZ, u uu0 NtAs 4O4Os
Editor, Wardwell
Dear SIR
Owing to certain reflections upon
myself personally in an article in your
paper dated April 3rd, 1910, but evil
.dentally published June 3rd I feel that
a reply is required at my hands for the
maintenance of my self respect and
hence ask you to print the following
remarks in the Pioneer Express at rs
early date rs possible.
In the article in question, among
other things you say: In plain English,
that the real estate firm ct B. Il L. are
in business as county seat boomers, and
propose to not only use the lcelanders
as allies and warriors tor the benefit of
the city Of Cavalier and the aforesaid
firm, but also make them pay at least
one half Of the price of = new 100000
court house in that City" Again you
said: That Magnus Brynjolfson and D..
J. LaKdal have announced that they
own the Icelanders; that they are
working together Is joint owners. Il
Whence did you get this announce
ment3 1t is not contained in the
Herald article which is the basis 1f
your editorial. Have either myself or
Mr.. Brynjolfson made any such declara-
tions 20 you? You veil know that
neither of us have done SO and you well
know that neither of us would; and in
fact, when you wrote that statement,
you knew it to be false.
You have in nearly all the issues Of
your. paper since the commencement OF
the agitation of county seat removal,
directly or indirectly charged that Mr.
Bryejolfson and myself have an addition
to the city OF Cavalier and that our
principal reason for agitating the coun-
~ seat removal was for the purpose of
personal gain and that our intention
was to locate the court house in said
addition. ,.5 j:s. 81 n s
It's true that we have an addition to
the city Of Cavalier, but it is also true
that We have only four lots unsold in the
addition belonging to ns jointly, lying
along the Great Northern track and
partially an old bed Of the Tongue river.
The same are not readily saleable for
the purpose OF residence, much less go
Tor q court house site, there being il h
sufficient room and being too remote
from the city. Mr.. Brynjolfsons and
myself have held these lots because We
hsye not found q sale for them under
the restrictions proposed by us, viZ:a
chat the stimbe thereon which affords
shelter to the city of Cavalier, should;

especially important in the county seat
fight. The Icelanders are almost to a
man behind the fight that Cavalier is
making, and 1uizz also uith hold
their support from candidates
zc7.o are A,,Ozrn to be supporters
of Penabisn for the county seat.
In the townships of Gardar, Thingvalla,
Akra, Advance, Beaulieu, LaMoure and
Park the population is almost en-
tirezy Zcez01atlic, and the number of
votes runs from 900 to 700. When the
fact that this represents from 20 to 25
per cent of the total vote of the county
and that by reason of location and
political connections they are solidly
behiLd the Cavalier movement there is
no encouragement for Pembina to sit
idle"
"Again referring to the Iceland
ic Townships before enumerated it
is evident that they Will se1ve as
q club ouer county candidates in
their relation to the county seat fight
and especially so as the Icelanders are
not as to party affiliations a political
unit. Two years ago these seven
townships cast 3l6 republican votes and
253 democratic votes. Under the
leadership of La.tdnl and B,y,e-

chosen with view to strengthening
the campaign for the county seat ques-

no secret is made Of the fact that
no matter What his party a6izin-

mot only has Cavalier and its

in having at the head of their organiza-

obvious that we let that pass without
further comment.
The only criticism that the Pioneer
Express has for Icelanders, or any
other nationality living in this country,
is confined to those aspiring politicians
who stoop to use nationality as
stepping stone for their own selfish
interests, as has become notorious in
the case of the two head men of the
Cavalier committee. When men do
that they cease to be Americans. One
of the publishers of this paper is of
pure Norwegian decent, the other has
the blood of the Pilgrims in his veins.
Both are equally Americans, but
neither is more American than any
ethereal American-no matter where
he or his ancestors were born.
Mr.. Laxdal assumes that the Ice
landers of the western townships have
become so very enthusiastic over the
county seat question that they have
thrown themselves bodily into the
political waste basket to be dumped
wherever and whenever these two
political and committee leaders choose
at least that is what we gather from
what he claims in his letter, and it is
also practically so stated in the Herald
correspondence. But Mr.. Laxdal
forgets-perhaps he does not realize
that though he and his partner are
undoubtedly men of more than ordinary
ability, the people of this county and
many in the state at large, as we'll as
many persons of his own nationality,
believsthat the greater part of the
good fortuue in political preferment
and public Office which they have en-
joyed in the past has been because of
their assumption of similar claims of
their control of the Icelandic vote-not
only in this, but in practically all
previous elections since statehood.
Whether this firm of political brokers
know it!or not, and we rather think
they do not know it, the general opinion
of this county is that one as repub-
lican and the other as democrat
usually and habitually conspire to-
together for political purposes in every
campaign, and that it is of little use for
any candidate to attempt to run for
county Office without first obtaining the
o. K. oflone or the other of the mem
berstof this firm. We say this is the
belief of the public. If Mr.. Laxdal
thinks that this is not the general
belief, let him ask half-dozen of his
candid and honest friends-if he has
any-besides this writer.
We have one correction, however, to
make. Mr.. Laxdal says 'Where did
we get our information that the Ice
landers will have to pay for half the
new court house at Cavalier?'. We
find on consulting the fgures given the
Herald man by Mr.. Laxdal that we
we're wrong. The latter says in his
letter that they "are few in this county,
and numerically weak" but he, as we'll
as ourselves will have to stand correct
ed in the face of the actual figures and
percentage of the Herald, which gives
40 to Is per cent" as the actual pro-
portion, consequently that will be
about their share of the new building.
