Tax Payments Heavy This is a busy month with County Treasurer French as all real estate taxes become delin quent after May 31. It is to the interest oi all to see that their taxes are paid be fore that date as after then a penalty of ten'per cent is added and collected with the original tax. Should you nothaye the full account one half the tax can be paid now and the balance on or before October 31. How ever, it is good policy to pay the full amount in May, or else you forget the other half. Read the Daily Pioneer. Our Ads Are Our Solicitors.

Leaves to Regain Health. Fred C. Carlson, who for the last two years has been local editor of the Pioneer, has been forced on account of failing health to give up work, and will devote the next few months, possibly a year, to getting well. Fred leaves in a day or two for Lake George where he is to camp out, and put in his time hunting and fishing, and his present plans contemplate a stay thereof about three months. Fred's leaving is regretted by no one more than by the Pioneer but he feels that he cannot disobey the orders of his physi cian, who has ordered him to take to the woods and rough it until his health is restored. He has been a hard working and faithful reporter and has covered the local field in a most efficient manner.

The law of the State of Minne sota for the prevention of forest and prairie fires makes it a mis demeanor, punishable by line of not exceeding one hundred dol lars or imprisonment in jail not exceeding three months, to kindle a fire near forest or prairie land and leave it unquenched. Said law makes town supervisors, village presidents and mayors of cities fire wardens. They are required to inforce its provisions, post notices of its penalties, patrol their districts in dry seasons, go to the place of danger to prevent or control fires, em ploy or compel assistance in emergencies, investigate and immediately report fir^s, and make complaint before a magis trate of violations of the law when they have requisite information thereof. County attorneys are to assist in prosecutions. Every person must comply with a wardenscallfor assistance unless he has justifiable excuse. Neglect to comply with any of the fore going duties incurs the penalty first above mentioned. Destruc tion or defacement of a posted notice incurs similar penalty.

People in California are still trembling nights in fear of another earthquake, according to Mrs. Adda C. Brown of Wat sonville, Calif., who has written of her experiences to Mrs. J. E. Carson of this city. She gives a vivid portrayal of a city shaken once and now fearful as a woman after a burglar scare. The people hardly dare to go to bed nights, she declares, and when they do venture to retire, they make every preparation to rise again in a hurry at the first alarm. This fearfulness may seem un warranted to those secure in their Minnesota homes, but the recent horror and the possibility of a fresh 'quake are very real to the people on the coast. No one was killed in Watson ville in the earthquake, but a number of buildings were shaken down. Mrs. Brown writes that a crack in the earth two feet wide was opened up immediately in front of her house. She says that in all they haye felt some 200 distinct quivers of the earth.

The interest of spectators lagged to a large exoent, therefore, and there were few present to wit ness the most remarkable ter mination of a county-seat con troversy in the history of Minne sota. General H. C. Ohilds, senior counsel for the petitioners, arose and, after congratulating each side upon carrying on a fierce, manly and spirited battle, stated that the efforts of the Hastings workers had succeeded in re ducing the number of signers on the petition below the statutory number, and that, therefore, the petitioners would abandon the fight. In doing this he said his clients yielded to the necessities of the occasion and, having been beaten, desired to own up and congratulate the victors on their energy and success. From April 10 to April 30, the day the board began its consid eration of the petition, many more of the leading ciUzens of Hastings set out to get powers of attorney to withdraw petitioners from the petition. In this they were successful, securing 737 such papers. Parmington went after revocations of the power of attorney and procured 125 Ievo cations.

Many mothers of families in the United States have reason to be grateful to the person who recommended Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This is a medi cine specially prescribed for diseases of womankind. It does not cure eczema, catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis ease, for it is put up for the single pur' post of curing diseases peculiar to women. It has a reputation of over a third of a century of cures, and has sold more largely on this continent than any other medicine for women. Another point in its favorit does not contain a single drop of alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs. It is mrelv vegetable and perfectly harm in any condition of the system. An alcoholic compound for women is something no woman should take and yet "Favorite Prescription" is the only tonic and nervine put up for sale through druggists, especially for wom an's weaknesses, that does not contain alcohol and that too in large quantities Womanly weakness will always bring nervous irritability and a nervous con dition, for which alcohol is the worst thing in the world. What a woman thus afflicted needs is a vegetable tonic and invigorating nervine like Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which will build up her delicate system and bring about a healthy tone. It cures the drains and weaknesses of women, also displacements, as prolapsus, ante version, retroversion, irregular and painful periods and kindred ailments If you want to know what ails you the United States mail will bring you the best medical advice for only the cost of writing materials and stamps. Many women owe their present good health to the fact that they consulted Dr. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos sible information about their condition, symptoms, etc., and received in return good medical advice which cost them nothing. This is why we advise you to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.

He tells you the most common-sense way what ill yon, what jou ought to do, what fEv $e43a BOO CITY AS SUMMER RESORT Visiting Iron Range Editor Gives Bemidji Good Advice.

E Cuppernull, editor of the Virginia (St. Louis county) Vir ginian, who spent Satuiday, Sunday and part of today in Be mid]i. Mr. Cuppernull was in town studying daily newspaper conditions with a view to chang ing hi3 paper in Virginia from a weekly to a daily. He was much taken with ifte city and was especially enthusi astic over the beauties of the lakes. "This seems to me like an ideal spot to spend the summer," he said in talking with the Pioneer. "If I were situated so that it were possible I would like nothing better than to establish a sum mer home here." "I would like to predict that the next few years, if your city is advertised properly, it will be come one of the famous resorts of the state. If you will take the advice of an outsider you will boom it for all there is in it." Mr. Cuppernull was somewhat surprised to tind a daily as thriv ing as the Pioneer in a city the size of Bemidji. "You certainly are giving the people as good a paper as any country city in the state, "he de clared," and the paper is bet.er than most cities of your size can boast."

Favorite Prescription' is indeed an ideal medicine for women, and by far the best I have known to restore lost health and strength," writes Mrs. R. C. Roelker, 24 Ingram Street, Henderson, Ky. I suffered misery for several years, being troubled with flooding. My back ached and I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. Would often awake from sleep in such pain and suffering it would be hours before 1 could close my weary eyes again. I dreaded the long nights as well as the weary days. Consulted two different physicians hoping to get relief, but find ing that their medicine did not seem to cure me I tried Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as a friend had recom mended it so strongly. Am glad that I followed her advice for it was the only medicine for me. Every ache and pain has gone, and not only this, my gen eral health has improved. I feel well and strong, have a fine appetite, have ained flesh and never looked better. advice to suffering women is to take the 'Favorite Prescription' and they will never be disappointed with the results."
