WHERE THE MERCHANT FAILS.
An Iowa Farmer Tells Him He Should
Advertise, and How.

An Iowa farmer contributes to the
Des Moines Capitol the following very
pertinent suggestion as to why the
mail order houses succeed In getting
the business OF the rural communities
away from local merchants:
III the mail order houses got 81 900
out OF this county each month that be-
longs to the home merchants the fault
is with the merchants themselves. The
mail order houses advertise and give
us prices on everything they offer for
sale. They tell us what they have
and what they want for 1t. OF course
We get soaked once in awhile and II
We do we can try some other house.
Most OF the home merchants who ad-
vertise at all don't quote prices. They
neglect to tell us what we want to
know-the price. or course We can 60
to the store and ask the price Of this
article. and that. but you know how
1t is-one doesn't know SO well exact.
ly what he wants to buy when he gets
In store as when he is at home. And
there is where the mail order houses
make their hit. They send US their
advertising matter into homes and we
read 1t when we haven't anything else
to do and every member OF the family
who reads their stun usually finds
something that he or some other mem.
Der Of the family wants and many or.
ders are made up and sent out Just At
such times.
Right here IL where the home mer.
chant falls down. II he talked up his
business to US In our homes the same
AZ the mail order houses do the people
would be In to see him the next time
they came to town and In many cases
extra trips would be made to get the
things At once that we didn't know
we wanted until they were brought
to our attention.
THE home merchant can save the
expense OF getting up catalogue. We
people read the home papers more
carefully than we do the catalogue.
and II the merchant wants to talk
business with u let him put bis talk
In the home papers. and put It In 20
that We know he means business. The
home. merchant likely. nine times out
OF ten. sells his goods - cheap ~ the
mall order houses. and believe on
many things they are much cheaper.
but how are We to know II he doesn't
tell u about II.
"A Merchant must not think that
even bis best customers know his
goods 10 we'll that they can tell what
he has without being shown.
1t 10 none Of my business how tho

BULLETS. END A LIFE
Sensational Suicide of DR..
SchoIten at Winnebago.
From SATURDAYS Dailv.

From SATURDAYS Daily.
Tired of life, DR.. F. F. ID. Scholten
committed suicide at his home in Win
nebago yesterday afternoon. He fired
three bullets into his left breast. The
deed was carried out shortly after
one o'clock, and death occurred at
about 4:45.
DIR. Scholten came to Mankato on
Tuesday night and was found acting
queerly at the Union depot. The po-
lice took charge of him and notified
the authorities at Winnebago who
came here Wednesday and returned the
doctor to his home. 1t was evident
that he was demented.
Found the Cartridges.
Yesterday afternoon, shortly after
dinner, the doctor hunted up his re-
the stairs to his bedroom, remarked
to Mrs. Scholten that he was going
to clean the weapon. A few moments
later three pistol shots were heard. A
neighbor, n. Froehlich, rushed into the
house and up the stairs. He suspect
ed that the doctor had shot himself.
Bursting open the bedroom door, MIR.
Froehlich found the doctor searching
the apartment for more cartridges. He
had found three which he knew were
in box and thought there were some
more in the room. He said that he had
not succeeded in killing himself in
stantly, and believed that if he could
find another shell he could put an end
to his life at once.
Death Not Far Off.
Mr.. Froehlich Laid the doctor on
the bed and meanwhile Marshal Yates
and a physician were summoned. 1t
was apparent that the old doctors life
was fast ebbing away, and his wish
to die would soon be gratified. He
lived until 4:45 in the afternoon.
DIR. Scholten had practiced medicine
in Delavan and Winnebago for num-
Der of years. He conducted drug
store in both places also. In late
years his mind has been affected, but
he was considered harmless and no one
suspected that he would commit a deed
so rash as that which terminated his
life.
The funeral was held this afternoon
at two o'clock.

out. The score was even and the
rooters on both sides were kept busy.
Will Rabe got to first on balls. Then
McCleary sent the ball down toward
first, who threw it to second and
ended Rabe. Second almost got it
back to first in time to make a
double, but not quite. 1t was neat
play, nevertheless. Giblin flew out to
Warner, and Krost struck out.
There was intense interest when the
ninth inning opened, with an even
score. Bartos sent a high one to right,
but Plymat was there, and the St.
Peter pitcher retired. Warner hit to
left, and reached first by a close
shave. Wolff fouled up and went out
to the Mankato catcher. Warner
got to second before .Swensk got to
first on called balls. Pettiiohn flew
out to Plymat with a high one.
Ten Inning Game.
The hopes of the Mankato rooters
rose high, but were quickly dashed.
Osgood flew out with high one to
Kermatt. Plymat sent liner to
right, and would have missed first had
not Nutter's fingers been buttered. II.
Rabe couldn't find the ball this time.
Plymat worked around to third, but
to no avail, for McCollum fell VIC

DEBTS FOOT UP TO S31, 900
Creditors Appeal to Bank
ruptcy Court Today.
SAID COMPANY WILL PAY IN FULL
Value Of Assets Is Uncertain, Stock
holders All Are Wealthy Farm
mers, the Details.
From MONDAYS Daily.

rTOn NOHudy bdIy.
The Lake Crystal Mill company
that owns and conducts the -four mill
there, is in financial straits. Three OF
the creditors today filed a petition
in bankruptcy court, in an action in
involuntary bankruptcy, as under the
untary bankruptcy. The petitionine
creditors are David j. Roberts, who
holds a claim for about $1,000, Bezaleel
James, who has claim for about
$1,000, and Joshua Wigley, who holds
claim for about $1,000. These three
claims are in the form of notes given
by the company for money borrowed
from the petitioners.
Debts Foot up $4,000.
1t is estimated that the liabilities
of the company are in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000. The value of the as
sets is uncertain. The principal asset
is the mill property, which includes a
four story brick mill building, equipped
s with machinery and having ia daily
capacity of about zoo barrels of -four.
The mill originally cost $4,000, but
when it was sold to the present COM
pany few years ago it was purchased
for about $4,000. The company is
capitalized at $4,000. The other as
sets are accounts amounting to $1,000,
but the accounts have been pretty well
collected up.
Will Pay in Full.
Inasmuch as the stockholders are
subject to double liability, the claims
will be paid dollar for dollar The
stockholders are almost all wealthy
farmers living around Lake Crystal.
They have been unable to give the mill
their personal attention. even if they
had understood the business. They
were therefore dependent upon mana
gers hired to conduct the mill for
them. A good many things worked
against the success of the company
Some money was lost in options
and good deal was lost on contract
to furnish large amount of flour to
Chicago parties. This contract was
taken recently, just before wheat be-
gan to advance, and the company did
not take steps to protect itself against
an advance.
Another thing that worked against
the success of the mill is common to
mills in all of the small places, and
that is the freight rates. The rate
from Lake Crystal and other points
to Chicago is twelve cents, while from
Mankato it is eight cents, and doubt
less from the twin cities.
Will Not Close Down.
Thomas and Evan Hughes are the
attorneys for the petitioners, and Evan
Hughes went to Duluth this morning
to seure from Judge Page Morris an
order for the appointment of re-
ceiver 1t is hoped to keep the mill
in operation until such time as it
can be sold, as it will be better for
the machinery The village is also
lighted by the mill.
1t is possible that another company
will be organized, or the present COM
pany recognized, so as to take the
mill and keep it in operation. 1t is to
be regretted that financial troubles
have come upon it, for the mill is the
principal industry in the village.
