The GAZETTE wonders what it's es-
teemed contemporaries say to the
various business men of their respect
i've towns in regard to accepting such
advertising as comes from The Cen
taur Co., New York. Of all the foreign
advertising concerns this company in
sists on the most ridiculously low
rates known to newspaper publishers,
practically requiring the publishers
who deal with them to give two years
advertising for the price of one, or
less. Consequently, to allow these
foreign houses to secure advertising
cheaper than the local business con-
Germs seems to us, not only bad policy
for the paper, which derives it's sup
port from the local community, but
also very bad thing for the town
It invites foreign houses to advertise
for business in the town at a rate
much lower than given to the business
houses in which we all have a local
pride. It is pernicious practice, and
the sooner the local publisher stops it
the sooner will the local business man
appreciate it and the sooner will the
country weekly place itself on bust
ness foundation.

A WEEK OF FAKES.

The past week. has been perfect
one for fakes, and as result the peo-
pie of this city and adjacent territory
have disgorged unto the foreign fake
vendors in the neighborhood of ST. 900,
and the former are now cutting chunks
Of indignation out of the air and sew
ing them up as their bill of fare near
ly every hour.
Probably the most notorious fake
ever perpetrated on the people of
this section is the so-called Memorial
Record, published by the Louis Pub
fishing Co. of Chicago. When the
agents of this concern we're around
here last spring they represented that
they were going to write history of
Southwestern Minnesota, together
with old t1attery take OF biographical
sketches. They started out with a
| forged order forging the name OF a
prominent citizen of this city, as a
basis on which to catch victims. They
likewise represented that the history
would be an accurate one, of great
benefit, and even went SO far as to
show advance sheets of portion OF
the historical work. They picked up
enough men in this city and adjacent
territory at Sis per book and sketch to
insure over $500 from this county
alone. A similar number Of victims
