|. O. U. Notes Will Mean Big Saving in
the Purchase of Household
Supplies.
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
Moneys Formerly Spent for Ads" to
Be Dealt Out to the
Consumer.

In another part of this paper ap-
pears An advertisement which is the
beginning of a series of ADVERTISE
ments that means much to the
people of this community. It evolves
plainly which the consumers will
be paid actual cash for buying com.
modities of everyday necessity. 1t
is the greatest opportunity ever
offered since the days of free wheat
in Rome, and everybody will take
to it like a duck takes to water be-
cause it will mean an actual saving
to you every time you buy commodi-
ties that you need every day, be-
cause you will be getting something
for nothing-just like getting
money from home" The ADVERTISE
ments, which will appear from time
to time during the next month, will
fully explain the plan and it will
not be long until the Il. o. u. Com
ing to YOU phrase will be a house
hold by.word.
We know we have now got your
curiosity aroused and you are anxi-
Gus to know what it is all about and
we don't mind giving you a little
hint on the plan in advance. The
Pioneer has allied itself with a New
York concern, the L @. u. Company,
who have been working many
months in an endeavor to interest
the large producers. bakers, grocers,
manufacturers of food stuffs and the
necessities of life, to share their
profits with the people who consume
their products rather than with the
advertising agencies as they have
been doing for many years. The
company has been successful, and
the manufacturers are going to pay
to the consumers the millions of
dollars, which they have hitherto
paid to the advertising agencies, in
the redemption of I. o. U. coupons.
These coupons will be placed in the
packages containing the products of
the manufacturers and on each cou-
pom, in plain figures, will be stated
its face value.
These coupons are good for their
face value, not Tor specified list of
magazines, books or premiums,
which you must send away for, but
for anything you wish to buy right
here at home. They are good, for
instance, at this Office on subscrip.
ton just the same as cash.
Enough has been said that you
may know what's coming to you
Watch for the advertisements and
don't lose any part of the plan and,
in the meantime. if you run across
any of the coupons hang Oh to them
like you would so much cash.
The people of this country owe it
to the I. 0 U. Company of New
York, for this clever bit OF planning
and they are to be congratulated
upon their efforts in working into
the hands of the people. And the
Pioneer is we'll pleased that it may
join with them in the plan that thu
people of this community may BIZ
numbered among those who get the
benefit. ..-.-

ACCUSED OF PLOTS
ALLEGED CONSPIRACY AMONG
LABOR LEADERS INVOLVING
PROMINENT MEN.
AFFAIR NOW UNDER INQUIRY
Assistant District Attorney Declares
v. 9. and California VIII Cooperate
to Uncover Most Gigantic Comblna.
tion In country's History.

Los Angeles, Cal.-'The United
States government and the California
authorities are cooperating to uncover
one of the most gigantic conspiracies
over conceived in the history Of this
country
IT'S was the declaration of Assis-
tnat District Attorney w. Joseph Ford,
second in command to District Attor-
nsy John d. Fredericks, and the man
who was arrested in Indianapolis for
alleged illegal extradition OF John J.
Mcnamara.
1T is only a question now Of wheth-
Or the federal government or the state
authorities can reach certain persons
better and bring them to justice more
effectively" continued Mr.. Ford.
The latter has been in Chicago for
the gathering Of evidence for the pros
ecution, and while his chief, District
Attorney Fredericks. was resting on a
ranch hear here Ford occupied
himself with the details Of the McNa-
mara case. He admitted that the
prosecution had under Surveillance in
other parts Of the country some prom
1nent labor leaders, alleged to have
boen involved in the Times explosion,
but said that arrests might first be
made by the federal government in
connection with its investigation

TO LOOK AFTER DRUGGISTS
Sale of AduIterated Drugs viii Meet
with Prompt Punishment.
This State.

Vermillion.-Deputy Commissioner
Bitterness has just returned from Elk
Point. where he caused to be destroy
ed a quantity of catsup made from rot
ton tomatoes.
He also caused the arrest and pros
ecution of w. j. Conley, a druggist,
for selling drugs not up to the stand
ard required by law. This is the first
prosecution under the drug law, but
it is expected that several others will
follow in a few days.
There is a large amount of aduler-
alton in drugs, and Commissioner
Cook has announced his purpose OF
bringing the drugs of the state up to
the standard required by law SO that
physicians administering them to pa
tents can depend upon them to pro-
duce the results that may
be expected of them. No doubt, the
impotency of adulterated drugs has
cost many valuable and precious hui
man lives. No work o prosecuted
in he state can be of greater lmpor-
lance to the citizens Of South Dakota
than that Of preventing the adultera-
ton of drugs.

TELLS OF "BARGAIN" MADE
Declares Before Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee That Money
King Told Him Interests Would
Support Colonel for Presidency.

sprung on the senate interstate com
MERGE committee when Wharton

York fnancier had told him that the
financial interests would support Col.
Theodore Roosevelt for president In
1904 because the latter had made q
bargain" with them ION the railroad
bill"
Mr.. Bankers statement came In the
midst Of a vigorous attack on the
money trust" in which he alleged
also that President Roosevelt had
been given the details OF the impend-
ing panic Of 1907 several months be.
fore it happened, but took no action
to prevent 1t. He asserted that the
Aldrich currency plan was the handi'
work, not Of former Senator Aldrich,
but OF Mr.. Warburton of the bank
ing Arm Of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. OF
New York, and that a fund Of $1,000
900 had been started to insure Its
adoption.
Three or four weeks before the
election in 1904" said Mr.. Barker. Il
was walking down Broadway when l
met one Of the most distinguished
money kings in New York, a man
now dead. He said to me: We are
going to elect Roosevelt ex-
pressed surprise and asked II he had
given up the support of Parker. He
said yes; that they had frightened
Roosevelt 30 he had made a bargain
with them"
Mr.. aBrker said the financial giant,
whom he declined to name. told him
that Roosevelt had made a bargain
on the railroad question" Mr.. Bar
ker continued:
HE Is to holler all he wants to-
he told me. but by and by a railroad
bill will be brought in by recommend
alton Of the president cutting of re-
bates and free passes, which suits us
who wi the railroads, permitting the
railroads to make pooling arrange
ments and providing for maximum
rates.
II told him l didn't believe Roose-
welt had made such an agreement"
said Mr.. Barker. but when the an

things. I wrote to President Roose-
welt and told him what l heard. and
that I had thought the man lied. but
now I must believe he had o 1t
the only letter Of mine Mr.. Roose-
welt ever failed to answer"
Members Of the committee asked
MI. Barker to give the name Of the
financial man who had told him that
Roosevelt was to be elected.
II cannot do IT," said Mr.. Barker.
but subsequently somebody was re
ported to have stolen some CORE
spondence between Mr.. Hartman and

up for election expenses in the city
Of New York"
New York.-Col. Theodore Roose-
welt when shown the synopsis OF
Wharton Barker's testimony declared:
II would as soon discuss a pipe
with an out patient of Bedlam
as discuss such nonsense"
Colonel Roosevelt would not add to
this statement. only repeating It later
with added emphasis.

From the Capital City, h Various

ferent Parts Of the
State.

Pierre.-Allotting Agent Bates has
raised a new point against the state
selections of indemnify lands on the
Pine Ridge reservation. He holds that
lands which are claimed by the In
dams, whether allotted or not, are
exempt from state or private selec-
tons. He insists hat there will be a
shortage on hat reservation to I'LL
the claims of the Indians, which will
reach up to practically 100000 acres
of land which Is Of any value, n
that the reds have the first claim.
State Land Commissioner Brinker in
relation to the transfers Of land be-
tween the state and the general gov
eminent in the Black Hills Forest re-
serve, and he will attempt to secure
a ruling Of the general department on
the disputed point on the Pine Ridge
reservation. If the department holds
with the allotting agent, the state will
be forced to go outside that reserve to
secure lands to indemnify themselves
for the sections 16 and SO, which are
taken in Indian allotments. n fur
Their. there will be mighty little in the
way of picking for settlers after the
Indians are through under such a rul-
ing, as the Indians will not only get
all there is on that reserve, but will
be asking hat they be given lands
elsewhere to make up for their lack
on the home reserve.
