The Bemidji Pioneer. EDWARD KAISER., Publisher Entered in the postomce at Bemidji as Beccrad-clasB matter. PUBLISHED EVEKY THURSDAY. Official County and City Paper. TO INCORPORATE. At the meeting of the village council held last Monday night the matter of incorporating as a city was discussed by those pres ent and all seemed in favor of the proposition. It is believed that steps will be taken toward find ing out the sentiment of the peo ple here in regard to the matter. There is no doubt but what it would be a fine thing and would not add materially to the expense of running the village. Bemidji has become too large for a village and should be incor porated as a city at once. As a city we would possess many ad vantages that we do not now en joy and with very little addition al cost. A special charter could 7 be secured such as other tows in the state have, and would be a boost for the town with those out side. ________________ The electrocution bill by Gapt. Ray T. Lewis of Duluth was kill ed in the senate last Tuesday. The bill passed the house and would have passed the senate, but for the opposition of the peo ple of Stillwater, who disliked the idea of having all the execu tions in the state held in their town. G. A. R. Encampment. Otto Thorson, traveling passenger agent for the Great Northern, was in the city last Tuesday with a view to fixing rates for the G. A. R. Encamp ment to be held here next June. His road assures a rate of a fare and a lifth from all points of the state. It is expected that there will be about ten thousand people in attendance at the encampment and there will be two or three excursions from points in Da kota and from Duluth. Tills promises to be the largest en campment ever held in the state and the people of Bemidji will ha\8 the "Boys in Blue" enjoy every hour they are in our city. Chief Bemidji and his band of Indians will give a war dance and canoe exhibition, the ladies of the Circle will hold a barbe cue and numerous other attractions will make the time pass swiftly. The old soldiers will not be able to take in many more encampments and every effort will be made to make this the best yet. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS Council met at 8 p. m.

A PIONEER representative happened into Jones' paint shop last Monday and found a good sized force at work getting ready for the spring and sum mer rush. He recently received ten barrels of oil, 120 gallons of varnish and has a ton of Carter's white lead and two tons of lineo kalsoniine on the road, in addition to the stock on hand. Below is given the force and the work they handle: W. C. Steece has taken charge of the shop work and is an expert in his line. F. Desmond, of LaCrosse, makes a specialty of free hand wall and ceiling decorating. He was formerly head operator for the Milwaukee Free Hand and Relief Co. F. Hubert, of Sioux City, Iowa, is a general wood finisher and does up-to date staining, graining and paper hanging. Also a general painter, whose spec ialty is refinishing and upholstering furniture. Jones will hustle business, as ever, and will probably find all he can do. He has two large out of town orders now. One of the reasons for his suc cess is the fact that he backs all work up with a guarantee. Jones has made a ruputatfon fo good work that has won for him a host of friends and we wish him all successs in his work. Among the Churches. First M.

Consumption The only kind of consump tion to fear is neglected consumption." People are learning that con sumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption that is so often incurable. At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and begin regular doses. The use of Scott's Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, turned the balance in favor of health. Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul sion is. Prompt use of Scott's Emul sion checks the disease while it can be checked. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNK, Chemists, 409M15 Pearl Street, New Yo*k 50c. and #1.00 all droggbu. For Sale.

"For years when spring time came on and I went into gardening, I was sure to have an attack of rheumatism and every attack was more severethan the proceeding one," says Josie Mc Donald, of Man, Logan county, W. Va. I tried everything with no re lief whatever, until I procured a bot tle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and the first application gave me ease, and before the first bottle was used I felt like a new person. Now I feel that I am cured, but I always keep a bot tle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm in the house, and when I eel any symptoms of a return I soon drive it away with one or two applications of this lini ment.

When one is very thirsty the stomach needs a little nourishment to overcome the feeling. This nourishment is supplied by the beerand the thirst is quenched, Besides the body is put in perfect condition ftttfl the person made "strong- and healthy. Better use it in your home.
