ONE WEEK MORE
FOR THE DIAMOND
The Beauty of the Contest Is, That the
Same Votes Count Toward the Grand
Prize, $3.50 Piano, As Well as the
$40 Diamond Ring.

You have heard of mariners, guild
ing their ships by the light of the
North Starr" Well, that's about
the size Of it in this case. The con-
testants are guiding" the ship of
their enterprise by the light of that
wonderful diamond ring which is
waiting down at Asleson's jewelry
store, for some lucky young woman
to win and wear it.
Rough seas, stormy weather, NAL
de-mer and the tariff law never
worry the staunch mariners whose
eyes are fixed on the great white
orb that dominates the skies. When
the captain gazes through the long
telescope the north star seems so
near that he almost believes he
could stretch out his hand and
scorch his fingers on it if he wanted
it. So, seen through the rosy lens
of hope, this special prize diamond
looks to be so near to some of the
contestants that they almost could
"burn their fingers" on it, if they
were to stretch out a hand. Who
will be the first into port? Who
shall capture the North Star, and
wear it forever, bound to her finger
with a loop Of gold? We cannot
answer those questions at present
but in our next issue we shall have
that pleasure, for the diamond
ring period" closes next Monday
evening at 6 o'clock, and the next
day we shall announce the name of
the young lady who wins it, for
having made the greatest gain in
new subscriptions during the two
weeks.
Only one week has gone by, since
the diamond ring competition be-
gan. There is one more week te
hustle for this special prize which
dims all others by it's brilliancy
Work! If you haven't as yet Sc
cured single new subscription be-
gin now and see what you car
accomplish before the period closes
It's what you do-not the length
{, of time you have to do it in that

LUCKY RAILROAD ACCIDENT ON
M. &ST.L |. AT NORTH REDWOOD
Heavy Engine Gravel Train Jumps the Rails Full Speed and
Damages Rolling Stock and Roadbed Without Seriously
Injuring Any of Tranmen.

The worst train wreck that ever
happened on the St. Louis line in
Redwood county was pulled off at
North Redwood last Monday morn
ing. when big mogul engine was
derailed and badly damaged, two
gravel cars overturned and humid
red feet of track put out of commits
sion. But then it might easily have
been coupled with the loss of human
lives and the manning of the half
dozen train hands, and that it WASH t
everybody is deyoutly thankful.
The train which was mixed UP in
this derailment was an empty gravel
train returning to the gravel
pit at Delhi after dumping its load
somewhere along the line past Fair
fax. About nine o'clock the train,
pulled by one of the heaviest engines
on the road, which was backing west
with the tender to the front and go.

just the same if you begin now and
get more the next week (supposing
you haven't secured any up to date)
than any other contestant in the
two weeks put together. That is
not such hard stunt as you might
imagine. Some people have accom-
plished in five minutes what others
have tried in vain for years and
years to get through. If you have
many friends, and they are willing
to back you, you can round up
tremendous number of new SUBJ
scribers in few days. Try it. Per-
haps you will be so dazzlingly sue
cessful that you'll win the piano, as
well, by the time the contest closes.
Ask your Uncle Bill who makes
his clothes? Who furnishes the food
for his table? Who 'haberdashes'
him? And tell him that no matter
what he buys he must ask for cou-
pons at the contest stores. A COM
plete list of the merchants who are
cooperating with The GAZETTE in
conducting this contest is given else
where in this issue. Each one of
the merchants will give a coupon
good for Is votes free with every
dollars worth of merchan disc. Can
you beat that?
Trade where your trade will do
somebody else good, beside yourself
and the man you trade with" That
is our advice to everybody. The

the candidate in whom the man or
woman who does the trading is par

nothing to add Is votes to your

sary is to go to the contest stores
and ask for coupons every time.

CINE had jumped off its forward
trucks and buried itself into two
feet of sand and gravel. but fortu-
nately had maintained its upright
position and escaped without rup-
turing any of the steam pipes or con-
tainers. One gravel car was smash
ed into smithereens and another
badly damaged, but the strange
thing about the accident was that
the engineer, fireman and one brake
man OH the engine and tender had
escaped with scarcely a scratch, al
though they had no time to jump.
In the caboose at the rear of the
train, however, the conductor and
rear brakeman had been knocked
over by the sudden stopping of the
train, and both were considerably
bruised. The track was no longer
track, but an embankment orna-
mented with shattered ties, rails
