of Bemidji, published by the St.
Paul Globe, is at hand and the
general opinion Of all who We're
induced to so through with the
game by the representative Of
the great st. Paul paper is that
Bemidji and a number Of its best
and most representative citizens
have been gold bricked.
A short time ago a Mr.. Loomis
representing the ST. Paul Globe,
visited Bemidji and sought the
assistance of a number of the
business men in introducing him
to the people of the city at large:
Mr.. Loomis was not newspaper
man, and carefully avoided the
local newspaper offices but he
nevertheless laid bare plan Of
publicity for Bemidji that would
cover everything in the city from
the weather vane on the court
house roof to the intricacies of
the great saw mill plant Of the
Croolston Lumber company.
On the occasion of the first
visit the Pioneer published q
mild protest against his scheme
being patronized and Mr.. Loomis
left the city. Later he returned.
and succeeded in interesting a
prominent real estate man, who
has the good Of the city at heart,
and who was especially anxious
to see Bemidji advertised to the
outside world. The gentleman
acting in good faith introduced
him to the business men of the.
city liberal patronage was &C
corded the scheme and the Pic
neer was accused Of being mar.
rowly jealous and other things
equally unjust and untrue
The Write-up appeared yester-
day morning. and the Pioneer
stands sustained in its original
contention that the scheme was a
graft. Four columns on the 9Th.
page of the paper Melted Mr.
LOOMS nearly four hundred dol
lars and the space which the
write-up occupied could easily
have been bought for one-fourth
of that amount. Any local news
paper man could have done the
resource Of the city greater JUS
tice ina column than Mr.. Loomis
does in four.
1t would De possible TO go on
indefinitely and show where the
whole scheme was a graft Of the
first water but is not necessary.
The protest Of this paper was
not made originally because the
Globes advertising write-up
would take any money from the
Pioneer counting rooms butmere-
| ly because the Pioneer wished to
protect its patrons from the ad.

Tell Me Why

Will you kindly tell me why a man
who wants to buy q barrel Of sugar, or
1000 pounds Of flour, or sack Of cof-
fee, or a cooking stove, or q buggy, or
q suit Of clothes, or hat, or a wagon,
II he expects to pay spot cash, will visit
every merchant in the town where he
happens to be who handles the article
wanted, and work and talk to force the
price down to the last notch, and when
that very same man becomes convinced
as all sensible men do sooner or later
that it Is a duty he owes himself, So
ciety and those dependent on him to
insure his life, he Is just as apt to ap-
ply for a policy that Is not best suited
to his needs, and in company that Is
about the same" as all other compan-
les, instead Of taking day of and
coming to me and getting full, honest
and explicit explanation Of the record
and policy contracts Of company-the
Mutual Benefit-that has been doing
business So years, has over $87,000,000
of assets, has never made single
promise that 1t either has not or will
not carry out to the letter, and has al
ways carried out its contracts at less
cost to its members than ANY conf
pany in business. Brother, please tell
me why. The information will be ap-
preciated.

Narrow Escape From Wreck.
A repetition of the Fishing creek
.restle disaster was avoided by a close
shave last Monday morning. When the
conductor Of the westbound morning
train reached Yorkville, he advised the
section master Of fearful jar that the
train experienced just after 1t had
crossed the trestle. The section master
went down and found a broken rail In
such a position that it would have prob
ably thrown the eastbound train down
a steep embankment. The damage
was repaired without serious conse-
Quences.

London dispatch to New York Sun:
The reported sinking Of Russian war
ship at Port Arthur on February IL or
IA is denied by the naval staff at st.
Petersburg. In any case the identity
of the vessel, which, according to Jap
anese official and unofficial statements
was then destroyed, is not yet deter
mined, but that it could not have been
the cruiser Boyarin from Tien-Tsin Is
reliable. The correspondent says that
he conversed at Newchwang on Friday
with an officer who survived the catas-
trophe to the Yenisei. This vessel was
engaged on February II In laying 4OO
submarine mines. She had planted 1898.
The next one f1oated instead of sink
ing, and thereupon the Yenisei drew
off and fired at it with her light guns,
attempting to sink or explode 1t. While
thus occupied the lookout man discov-
cred that the ship had drifted close to
another mine. He gave the alarm and
Jumped overheard. Immediately there
was a terrific explosion and 100 officers
and men, including the captain were
killed. Ninety were picked up by small
boats. The officer laying the mines,
who was the only man in the Russian
fleet knowing exactly how the mines
were disposed Of, was killed. A violent
storm followed, when the mines came
to the surface and f1oated in all direc-
tions. The next day the Boyarin was
sent to assist in securing them. She
was caught in the storm and driven on
the rocks, where she has become a to-
tai wreck. 1t may be pointed out that
the statement that 100 men were lost Is
probably an error. The whole crew is
not likely to have numbered more than
180, while it is admitted that 96 were
saved. The official version Of the ac-
cident stated that 96 were killed.

Auction
Is The Plan to Sell Property
For Quickest and Best Results.

Experience teaches that property
ljudiciously advertised and sold by q
talented auctioneer brings more than
at private sale. This gives everybody
a show. AS a rule, the majority buy
more or less on other peoples judg-
ment. Auction urges both buyer and
seller to final results, otherwise they
have too much time to Chew the rag"
and daily about. In addition to the sale
of the valuable White business property
on Depot ST., on March 8th, I am ar
Of less value to sell on the same date
so as to make the sale attractive to a
large audience. Below you will find a
list of some Of the property. Then
anything on my extensive bulletin
might be bought at your price II you
would only let me know what your
price is. 1t is difficult to buy, or make
money, unless we do or say something.
The quail Is not apt to come to US
roasted. We must at least take off the
feathers and get 1t ready for the pot.
A multitude Of people carry their
tongues and money without seeming to
know what they were intended for.
Neither do they seem to know what
a broker is for. Numbers Of per-
sons do all they can do to avoid
Ia broker. Why do the best busi-
ness men in the world go to brokers
to do all their buying and selling? Be-
cause they can get their business trans
acted more efficiently and go about
their other affairs. I am thankful to
say we have few Of this class In Rock
Hill. We don't want Rock Hill to be
500 years behind the times. Let us all
forge to the front by pulling together.
We go to merchants, lawyers, doctors,
bankers and farmers. to get what we
want in their lines. A brokers' busi-
ness Is to do your trading with all
these classes. Tell him what you want
done and 1t Is his business to not i'm
part 1t to any one. Remember there Is
no charge here unless I do the busi-
ness.

Who Pays the Bill ?

Let us get down rock bottom facts and talk this mat
ter of buying sewing machine quietly and in bus
mess way.
Nearly every family requires the use of sewing ma
chine Now the question arises What kind OF machine
shall buy?
Suppose buy machine, which is regarded as
standard of quality for which pay $5o Now, this is
what pay for The probable manufacturers price is S25
which quite bera then the other $25 goes for what
WE'LL there is part of this SIS that chargeable to the
salary and commissions Of the agent then help to pay
his board BILL his livery bill and for his wagon REPAIRS
we'll as few other incidental expenses
What do get? Well l get machine with high
sounding name and with few extra frils that add moth
ing the sewing light running qualities OF the machine
and lot of compressed hot air. from smooth talking
agent who knows his little song like his cs and then
too the ''guarantee"-I ought forget the guaran
tee because it is pretty thing But let us take look
at this guarantee is given in good faith, and means
Just what says If my machine proves defective i'll two
or three months and the agent is about here, can make
him make good but five years from the agent and
his employers may be i'll Europe and then my machine
breaks what my guarantee worth? 1t just good as
ever if can prove to the manufacturer by sending my
machine that the broken part is defective. But who
pays the freight?
Now wouldn't it be better business my part to buya
sDruid' machine from the Strauss-Smith Co. They
are selling the Druid machine for only $15 1t is thor
ouehly protected with twelve year guarantee it is
drop head machine in nicely finished quarter sawed oak
case nicely nickel trimmed, supplied with full set of
latest improved attachments and it will do good work
and as much of it with given amount of labor as any
machine on the MARKET and is just as light running.
Now about the guarantee that goes with the Druid,
is it good? Well it ought to be. The Srauss-Smith Co.
is not likely to away from Yorkvie, and if my ma
chine proves defective will know right where to put my
hands on the folks who signed the guarantee
Then again, if buy Druid instead of - machine,
will save $3s-a half bale of cotton and that is not to
be sneezed at SIS per cent interest $3.50 year,
which will than pay for machine in six years.
