THOUSANDS OF VOTES POLLED
IN THE CONTEST TODAY.
Miss Spencer, Of Walker. Looms
Up Large as an Out Of
Town Candidate.
The Pioneer today adds to its
former offer for candidates from
Bemid il so as to make it's offers

as follows: -
/. Two round trips to st. Louis.
2. One hundred dollars in cash.
These offers are made under
the following conditions:
The young lady having the
highest number Of votes will be
given afree trip to the fair This
IS the same as offer first made.
The young lady having the
second highest number Of votes
will be given a free round trip
to the fair providing she polls
10000 votes on subscriptions,
new Oh old, to Daily or Weekly
Pioneer
The young lady having the
highest number of votes will be
given 500 in cash as follows:
a.-Forty dollars in cash il she
polls 100000 votes on subscrip-
tions, new or old, to the Daily or
Weekly Pioneer.
b.-Sixty dollars in cash if she
polls 100000 votes on new sub
scriptions to the Daily or Weekly
Pioneer, or in lieu Of and 3.
G. One hundred dollars in cash
if she polls 100000 votes on sub
scriptions, new OF old, to the
Daily or Weekly Pioneer.
TO secure 100000 votes on sub
sscription may at first sight seem
like a large task but when it is
remembered that 1000 votes is
given for one years paid sub
scription to the Daily and that
there is now owing to the Pho
neer an amount on subscription
representing nearly 100000
votes the proposition for the
leading candidate to secure q
small fraction Of these votes is
comparatively an easy one.
These offers not only make i
possible for some young lady IN
Bemidji to secure free trip to
the fair, but to have plenty OF
funds to insure q delightful time
while there without expense to

turning from skating at Crystal Lake took short
cut over lonely part OF the orange Mountain. and
after dark came to the edge of a quarry. They
finally decided TO climb down the face OF the
quarry, which is eighty-f1ve feet high.
They got down about forty feet and landed on a
ledge that projected from the face of the cliff
about feet and there they rested. When
they tried to get further they could find no foot
hold.
The two younger boys began grow sleepy with
the cold Harold jumped to a bowlder below
him. which plunged down the mountain to the
edge of the quarry. He fell about forty-five feet
a little distance from the stone.
Herbert and Leo screamed for moro than an
hour until they were heard by some passing men,
who went TO the home of Joseph Davis at the
top Of the mountain. They could get no ladders
long enough but at last succeeded in getting the
boys more dead than alive, by lowering rope
with slip moose the end. Harold was found
conscious at the foot Of the quarry with two wounds
in his head and in his side. He taken
home in a carriage and treated by Dr. John H.
