Murphy's action iu introduc ing into the city an ordinance which provides for an increase in the liquor license fee of from $500 to $1,500 must meet with the commendation of every person interested in seeing bet ter saloon conditions in this city. The action of the council in deciding that the number of saloons shall be limited to seventeen is equally meri torious. With the higher license goes the reduction in the number of saloons. With fewer saloons, the men control ing them will be able to make a decent living within the law and the neces sity of reaching beyond the strict in terpretation of the law will be avoid ed. Full credit should be given the al dermen for this movement and those who believe in it should freely express themselves to their representatives. The Nelson Bill. The only real objection that has been voiced against the Nelson bill is the fact that the bill would cut the number of saloons to the required limit by forcing city councils not to renew licenses as fast as they expired. Thus no opportunity was given for the weeding out of the worst saloons but the last eleven licenses granted would be the ones to stand The senate temperance committee has seen this objection and has draft ed a substitute bill which provides for a gradual reduction of the num ber of saloons until the limit of one to 500 is reaehed. This substitute bill will be drafted by a sub commit tee and will be reported out in a few days. The Band Concert. About two hundred people last night attended one of the best band concerts ever given in the city of Be midji. So crowded was the city hall that many were forced to stand dur ing the concert. It was the largest audience that ever attended an indoor band concert in Bemidji. C. J. Woodmansee sang "The Pirate Chief" and was so well encored that he responded with a love ballad. Mr. Woodmansee was accompanied by Di rector Remfrey and appeared in ex cellent voice. Miss Vera Backus read "A Scene in a North England Rail way Station" and her impersonations of the different characters involved drew a burst of applause as she fin ished. She responded with the ex periences of a father and three year old son at 2 a. m. The band men feel encouraged a& this is the first time that a winter concert has: ever received more than passing attention from the public. The men last night harmonized bet ter than ever before in the history of the organization and the general ex eellence fthe music was a pleasant surprise to those who attended. Watch the Mississippi. Flood warnings have been sent to the lower Mississippi regions. With the giant wall of water pouring into the great river from the swollen streams of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Missouri, there may come a flood worse than that which broke the levees last spring At Cincinnati the Ohio is sixty feet high, the Wabash river and other streams in Indiana have overflowed and are higher than ever before'in their history, and the streams coming through Missouri are equally? high The lower Mississippi valley "will ,be indeed fortunate if this immense amount of water is carried to the ocean without the breaking of the great levees^ U, ~r5^^^X?jUi The latejRrtogJn the north conn M#3f try has one consolation to offer. If the water'from the thousands of acres of snow covered land of Northern Minnesota was now rushing down the Mississippi to add to that from the flood districts, a flood of gigantic proportions from Memphis down would be inevitable. -fc HORNET.

Husband and Wife Both Saved From Suffering I wish to tell you the good results myself and husband received from Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. About eleven years ago I had a severe attack of La Grippe and was confined to my bed about eight weeks under the doc tor's care. He pronounced by case kidney trouble and rheumatism and not receiving the results from the doctor's treatment I should have re ceived, I decided to try Swamp-Root. After taking several bottles of Swamp Root I was able to get up and attend to my work. About a year later my husband was affected with a severe attack of kidney trouble and doctored for some time with the doctors and received no benefit. Knowing of- the good I had received, he decided to try Swamp-Root. His condition was such that he was confined to his bed and words cannot tell how he suffered, but after taking Swamp-Root he was relieved so he could go on with his work without pain. I wish to hearti ly recommed Swamp-Root to all per sons afflicted with kidney and blad der troubles and you may publish this letter if you wish. Yorus truly, MRS.A. E. BRIGGS, Eldred, Pa.
