CORROBORATION
Of Interest to Stafford Springs Reader:


 For months Stafford Springs citi- zens have seen in these column enthusiastic praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by residents of this locality. Would these prominent people rec ommend a remedy that had not proven reliable?
 Would they confirm their statements after years had elapsed if personal experience had not shown the remedy to be worthy of endorsement? The following statement should carry conviction to the mind of every Stafford Springs reader.
 Samuel Dickeman, W. Main St. Willimantic, Conn.,, says: "For over year I suffered more or less from my kidneys and back. The complaint was always aggravated if I caught cold. I finally saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got a supply. They did me a great deal of good. I will lingly confirm all have ever said in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, and you may continue to publish my for mer statements. |"

BOYS CAN TAKE SIX DAY TRIP
Opportunity To Invade Cities May
Be Cast Aside

Bemidji's strong basketball team
has been given the opportunity to
make a six day trip to cities in
southern Minnesota with all expen-
SEES paid but owing to the fact that
the boys are all employed in local Of
fices the trip appears impossible.
Three games in Minneapolis, one In
st. Cloud and one in Red Wing with
several other opportunities to play
teams in other cities would be the
outline of the trip. Julius Bestul
who is an instructor in the local
school and is considered the best all
around man on the quilt would be
unable to make the trip while the
other members would be caused con-
siderable inconvenience. II the inva-
sion should be made it will be the first
time that a Bemidji five has ever
competed with teams form Minnea-
polls and striyed for the states
championship.

WEBER PROTESTS ACTION
Clerk Of Municipal Court Will Bring
Mandamus Suit Against Council If
Salary Is Not Changed
WILL NOT ACCEPT SMALL CHECK

.
: W. N. Weber, member of the Be-
midi Socialist local. and clerk of the
municipal court, will bring man
damus action against the city coun-
Gil, should his salary be cut to $35
month, from SIS a month, as was
recommended by the salary commit
tee and approved I,sSs the aldermen at
the last meeting.
Mr.. Weber's contention is that the
council had no authority to reduce
the salary during his term in office,
and will refuse to accept a check for
less than the amount under which
he first accepted the office.
Should the council refuse to pay
the SIS salary, it will be forced to
explain on what grounds it has right
to reduce the pay and why it was
done.
Council members maintain that
they are within their rights in the
matter.

FLAMES SWEEP BUILDING
Davis And Eickstadt Pocket Billiard
Hall And Barber Shop Quilted By
Early Morning Blaze.
rubbing OWNED By N. PH1BBs

Between four and five o'clock this
morning fire broke out in the Davis
and Eickstadt Pocket Billiard hall
on Beltrami avenue, as the result Of
an over heated stove and totally de-
stroyed the building and all of the
contents. Three pool tables, two
barber chairs and barber fixtures to-
gether with large stock of candy,
cigars and tobacco comprised the
contents which were totally de-
stroyed but were partially covered
by insurance.
The building was owned by Matt
Phibbs of this city who stated this
morning that he had the building
well insured. Mr.. Phibbs did not
say wheather he would rebuild
again or not but as the walls and
roof are still intact it is probable
that the building will undergo a SER
les OF repairs.
The Bemidji Fire squad deserve
credit for the able manner in which
they extinguished the fire which
was not discovered until the interior
of the building was one mass of
flames. A quick run saved the
frame of the structure and prevented
the fire from spreading to the ad-
joining building.

Added enthusiasm has been In

Prof. Hill, of Carlton college, is
now arranging for the tournament,
and in letter to George Franklin,

vised a plan for the schools Of nor
them Minnesota, which he has sug-
gested to Superintendent Dyer. and
to which the Bemidji school head
has given his approval.
Make Two Divisions.
Mr.. Franklin's idea is to divide the
northern schools into two divisions,
the Fergus Falls, Moorhead, Brecken-
ridge, Detroit, Evansville and Ada
institutions, which will comprise the
first division. The second division
will be made up of Bemidji, Foss-
ton, Thief River Falls, Mcintosh, Red
Lake Falls, Warren, East Grand
Forks. Bagley and Crookston. The
teams winning the majority of the
games in each division will be given
an opportunity of taking part in the
tournament.
Still Have Chance
While the Bemidji boys have met
defeat this year it was at the start
of the season and by their playing
since Christmas have shown that
they are still in the race. Last year
the Grand Rapids and Fosston teams
took part in the tournament. the lat
ter five winning the the state title.
Walker Tomorrow
The Bemidji team will journey to
Walker tomorrow where the high
school team of that city will be met.
The locals are hoping for q victory,
though the absence of Tanner, one
Of the most reliable men on the
team, will be keenly felt. Tanner is
suffering from an injury received in
