Of Progress In Journalism.

The Pioneer Press Stands In the Front Rank
Of Progress In Journalism.
The supremacy Of the St. Paul Pho.
geer-Press among the newspapers OF
the Northwest has. become an unques.
toned fact. By q glorious career OF
honest, public.spirited right-doing and
strong-saying, it has gathered under
its standard the best people in almost
every community in these great States,
and the loyalty OF its readers cannot
be weakened by all the alluring circu.
lation blandishments OF other news.
papers. The number OF its readers is
daily on the increase, and none of the
premium propositions OF coaxing com.
petitors seem capable OF winning any
OF them away. And no wonder.
There are many reasons why the Pho.
neer Press has the largest paid circula-
ton of any morning newspaper pub
lished in the Northwest. It has all
the virtues of age and none OF the
vices of youth. Its editorials emanate
from master minds; its news features
are comprehensive, accurate and com.
plete; its market page is the standard
authority throughout that section OF
the country, and those who direct the
interests of the paper have devoted
their lives to the study OF the political,
domestic and industrial pursuits of the
people. 1t is home paper-written
for family reading, uplifting in its
tone, ennobling in its energies and
modest in its avoidance of the sensa.
tional yellowism to which modern
journalism is 90 prone. 1t tells what
it knows to be true, or tells nothing
no lies, no exaggerations.
The price OF this genuine newspaper,
worthy of your wife's, your daughters
or your own reading. is neither more
nor less than some OF the sheets which
you sometimes are persuaded to permit
in your home. Make that paper an
institution in your family; it belongs
there.

GOULD & EASTER.
A Baxter Springs Man Secures an
Interest In the q. r. Gould Hard
ware Store and VIII Manage
the Business.

The old story has happened once
more. A young man has fallen in
love with Baxter Syringe and de.
cides to make 1t his permanent
home.
About a year ago Fred Easter
came to Baxter Syringe from Law.
renee to work in the Gould store.
At that time he had no thought of
making this city his permanent
home, but no sooner did he become
acquainted with the town and her
people than he decided that he
would like to stay here. The result
is that he has purchased an interest
in the Gould store and will manage
the same from this time ON. Mr..
Turley, who has successfully man.
aged the store for several years will
step down and out with the best
wishes of everyone.
Mr.. Easter 10 a young man, but
he has been in business for several
years and has profited by the ex-
perience. He has met many Of the
people of Baxter and surrounding
country in the year he has been
here and now that he has made the
city his permanent home his circle
of friends and acquaintance will
be broadened. He is thoroughly in
earnest in regard to the business
and will do everything in his power
to popularize the store with the
people. He will handle the best of
goods throughout the store and
will make such low prices that they
cannot be resisted.
The stock of goods carried by
Gould & Easter embraces hardware
stoves, tinware, guns, ammunition,
garden and field seeds etc. 1t is
one of the best stores in the city
and Mr.. Easter will no doubt meet
with success.

THE MINES.

There is nothing particularly new
in the mines this week. The Sunny
Side is producing tons and tons of
pay ore every day. and the rough
pile is assuming the proportions of
a mountain. The free ore is being
piled up. We understand Mr..
Abrams is figuring on building a
concentrating plant as soon az the
weather will permit. Samples of
ore from the Sunny Side mine were
exhibited in Joplin this week and
to use a homely expression the
eyes of the Joplinites plugged out"
Arrangements are making for a
display of mineral from our mines
in Joplin.
Work at the pump shaft is pro-
crossing very satisfactorily and it
is thought it will be producing in
couple of weeks.
The drill which is working just
north of the pump shaft is down
bout IS feet and is in lead bearing
ground. Thursday all the water in
the drill hole disappeared. This
shows there is an opening some
where near, and of course, open
ground is what is needed when one
is hunting mineral in paying guam
titles.
Work in the shaft on the Haskell
lease ia q little slow on account of
water.
