WHY l 50 WEAK?
Kidney Troubles May be- Sappine
Your Life Away. Bemidji People
Have Learned Til. Fact.

When a healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of
it all. Keep the kidneys well and
they will keep you well. Doan's
Kidney Pills cure sick kidneys and
keep them we'll. Here is Bemidji
testimony to prove it.
P. M. Dicajre, of Bemidji, Mimi.
says: "Overlifting was the cause of
kidney complaint in my case. My
back was lame and painful and
5ached so severely at night that I
could not sleep we'll. had head
aches and dizzy spells and When

blurred. A short time ago 1 began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills and
they greatly benefited me. I am

Out of about ESQ business men in
this city,only SO or6Oare MEMBERS of
the Commercial club. This is about
twenty-five per cent, much too small
for city as live as Bemidji. The
Commercial club should be, and the
members want it to be, the official
body of the business men of the city,
but it cannot live up to that ideal
with but one man in every four a
member.
In the past, the work of the club
has been left to do by a few hands
and it has become something of a
burden. With membership of 200,
the work could be divided among
committees in such manner that
the burden would be equally distri-
buted. Some one has suggested
that one committee have charge of
advertising the city, another should
see to financies, another to new men,
bers, and so on.
The meeting Thursday night
should be we'll attended. Every
member should feel it his duty and
business men who are not members
should attend and be prepared to
join. Several crises in city affairs
are being approached and if Bemidji
is to come out on top, it must have a
strong organization of the business
men to help it meet these problems.
The Commercial club can be that
organization. It is strong now with
SO members. Think of what it
could do with four times as many.

THE SHOOTING OF MAYOR GAYN0R.

n DllnQ1nS ClouO OF lame. lght-
ed powder, resounding crack and
the screech of bullet marked
the dramatic close temporary, or.
forever--of the activities of the
man who has dragged New York
from its municipal mire into pur-
er political atmosphere and more
wholesome city government.
And when the wires ofthe world
tucked out the details at this spec
tacular tragedy on the deck of the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm Der
Crosse, civilized humanity shud-
dered at the horror of it all, and
then came from all corners of the
earth soul stirring messages of
sympathy and oft repeated hopes
for the recovery of Gotham's great
mayor.
That William J. Gaynor attained
his distinction as the result of de-
termined, at times daring, policy of
real reform, is admitted by men Of
all political parties. That he has
swept from the city hall, New York's
notorious. grafters; that he. has
purged a wicked and reckless police
force of unnecessary men and in
competent officers; that he has cut
the weeds from the street commits.
sioner's department.; that he has
shown at all times this same rigid
adherence to his conception of what
is required of the guardian of the
peoples money are facts too we'll
established by his record making ad-
ministration to permit of argument.
And the soul of this man barred
itself when on the way to the hospi-
tai, convinced that his hurt was a
mortal one, he placed duty above
domestic ties; interest in the city OF
New York above his known affection
for wife and children, and it was
this duty which caused him to
whisper to an attendant this mess.
age, with his choking voice which
he presumed would be silenced for
ever: H..
Tell the people goodbye."
The man whose last thoughts are
of the people whom he tried to serve
is good man to pray for when his
life hangs in the balance. His in
t1uence in New York has been felt
throughout the country. It has
appropriately been said of him that
he was natural asset rather than a
liability. He was an American
rather than a democrat.
OF the man who crouches in his
guarded cell awaiting his day Of
doom little need be said. If death
claims his victim, Gallagher's
wretched soul will be hurled into
eternity. If Mayor Gaynor RECEIVERS,
life servitude in prison probably
awaits his assailant, who belongs to
that class of warped humanity that
seems to strike its cowardly blows
where the sting hurts most, claiming
for its toll a Lincoln, Garfield or
sweet and tender Mckinley. Let us
hope that the Gallagher bullet was
directed by a disordered brain.

Over Alleged DiIatory Methods of
the Government. -.
McAlester, Okla, Aug. 9.-How the
contracts were procured by which, &C.
cording to Senator Thomas P. Gore,
$3,000,000 in attorneys fees was to be
made out Of the sale of land given to
the Indians by the government, was
related before the special congression-
al investigating committee.
T. w. T. Holman, a Choctaw Indian,
testified he had been employed by J.
F. McMurray, holder of the contracts,
to go out among the Oklahoma Indians
and induce them to sign the docu-
ments. At the same time Holman re.
lated he was paid "a dollar a head"
for securing contracts appointing Nc
Murray to act in tax cases. In this
way McMurray procured 10000 con.
tracts to sell land.
The terms were 10 per cent attor-
neys' fees, or 100000 profit for Nc
Murray and his associates. To pro-
mote this deal in congress Senator
Gore contends he was offered a $685.
600 or $50,OUO bribe.
Holman testified that he himself
had signed the. 10 per cent contract
because he, in common with other In
dams, had become discouraged on the
governments promise to- sell the land.
II would have given Is per cent to
McMurray," said HOLMAN, IF he could
have got us the money quickly"
He said, he believed some of the Iu,
dams would be willing: to give Nc.
Murray rs per cent
Big Plum for McMurray.
Questioned further Holman testified
it was the belief of the Indians that
their property was worth from $780,
100000 to $40.OO0,OOO and that the un-
derstanding was McMurray was to
get 10 per cent of this.
'Is it the belief of the Indians that
McMurray had some power at Wash
ington by which he would be, able to
get results more quickly than if you
left it to the government" asked
Congressman, e. w. Saunders of Vir-
ginia.
1--WE didn't know how he was going
to do it, but ne thought he knew
how" was the answer. -.-..-
D. c. McCurtain, a Choctaw Indian
and an attorney for his tribe. went on
the stand and reiterated his charges
that McMurray in 1906, in the lobby of
the Raleigh hotel in Washington, had
offered him a $4,000 bride to with
draw tribal opposition to old contracts
which were disapproyed by President
Roosevelt.
In statement to the committee and
without going on the stand McMurray
declared that the. contracts came to
him originally against his desires. He
said the Indians at war council
had demonstrated their impatience at
the governments alleged slowness in
the selling of the land and had called
on him to take the job at TO- per cent,
which he did with reluctance. Nc.
