AFTER THE BALL,

A Brainerd Man and Wife Go to a Dance
Victims of a Fire.
1 The Wadena Pioneer-J Journal of last
week says: Two children and niece
of Mr.. and Mrs. August Schultz of
Brainerd were smothered to death
Monday night. The children were
locked in the house while the parents
went to the fremen's ball, and about IL
O'Clock the lamp which was burning
low exploded and started fire. The
little ones probably never knew there
was a fire, the Oldest one was eight
years Of age, and the youngest one year
old. The bodies of the little ones were
recovered, and there was not mark
upon either of them, they having died
OF suffocation. The parents did not
know of the fatality until they were
notified at the dance. The coroner of
Crow Wing county ordered an inquest
held over the remains of the three
children, and the jury brought in a
verdict severely censuring the parents
for their gross carelessness in leaving
the deceased children in a house alone
with a burning lamp. The affair Gre
ated a big sensation in Brainerd.' -

The Pioneer Press.

The supremacy of the St. Paul Pho
neer Press among the newspapers of
the northwest has become an unques-
toned fact. By glorious career of
honest, public-spirited right-doing and
strong-saying, it has gathered under
it's standard the best people in almost
every community in these great states,
and the loyalty of it's readers cannot be
weakened by all the alluring circula-
ton Establishments of other newspa-
pers. The number of it's 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 Pioneer
Press has the largest paid circulation
of any morning newspaper published in
the Northwest. It has all the virtues
of age and none of the vices of youth.
Its editorials emanate from master
minds; it's news features are compre-
hensive, accurate and complete; it's
market page is the standard authority
throughout this section of the country,
and those who direct the interests of
the paper have devoted their lives tGs
the study of the political, domestic and
industrial pursuits of the people. It is
home paper written for family read
ing uplifting in its tone, enobling in
it's energies and modest in it's avoid
ance of the sensational yellowism to
which modern journalism is so prone.
It tells what it knows to be true, or
tells nothing, mo lies, no exaggera-
tiOns.
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 the Pioneer Press
an institution in your family. It be-
longs there. b
