SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM Walker Pilot: The Bemidji Pio- neer isn’t as big a daily as the Duluth Herald, but the northern press is throwing it about as many compli- ments. The Pioneer is the biggest little daily in the state. “Refused notice.” Every editor has received them, says an exchange. The postmaster sends it to the editor. For instance, thereis a man by the name of, well say John Jones, who refuses to take his paper out of the postoffice. He did not want it any longer. We wondered what was the matter. Upon investigation of our subscrip- tion book "we found John was short $5.70. He had stopped his paper- as a matier of economy to us. A few evenings ago we stepped into church, and John’s melodious voice rang out loud and clear in the soul-stiring song, “Jesus Paid It AlL” We might have been mis- taken, but his earnestness impressed us. The next day we sent him a receipt in full, begging his pardon for not knowing he had made an assignment of his liabilities to the Lord. OBSERVATIONS. [By “Doc”] An honest blush is a straight flush, Marriage soon cures a man of the flattery habit. An:aching tooth isn’t one of the things that jumps for joy. True charity grasps the hand without a thought of the glove. Don’t save all your smiles for the parlor. Use a few in the kitchen. A barginloving wife isa great drawback to her husband’s bank account. No matter what explanation a man makes for a black eye, it is not believed. Bald-headed men buy the most hair tonic, homely women buy the most mirrors. Politics may make strange bed- fellows, but it also furnishes a good many meal tickets. You will notice that a man usually brags in English of his knowledge of the dead languages. OVERCOME BY FUMES. Minneapolis Firemen Narrowly Escape Death. Minneapolis, March 12.—Wood alco- hol fumes caused by a fire in the dry kil at the Northwestern Compo-Board factory nearly caused the death of sixteen firemen who entered the burn- ing structure to turn water on the flames. The gas which had accumulated in the kiln suddenly broke out and per- vaded every corner of the smoke filled building. Firemen would drop with- out warning and théir comrades would become unconscious whilé taking them out. It was only by careful watching and prompt medical service that all the men were saved.

Boston, March 12—A murder and sulcide has occurred at the Laurens school, an exclusive finishing school for young women at 107 Audobon road. The dead women are Miss Sarah Chamberlain Weed of Philadelphia and -Miss Hlizabeth Bailey Hardee of Bavannah, Ga.

Miss Hardee was an-instructor In mathematics at Wellesley in 1899 and 1900 and since that time had been teaching in Vermont. Miss Weed had also been teaching in various sections of the country. Last summer the two women decided to open a boarding school for girls on Audobon road, in the Fenway. On Oct. 1, the day upon Which the Laurens school, as they called it, was opened, Miss Weed broke down as a result of overwork and was taken to a sanitarium in West Newton, where she had since been un- der treatment for nervous prostration. While at the sanitarium Miss Weed had been subject to severe attacks of melancholia. She escaped from the sanitarium and made her way to the Laurens 8chool. Miss Hardee volunteered to oare for her during the night and pending her return to the sanitarium by physicians in the morning. Miss ‘Weed behaved in a pecullar manner, accerding to the teachers, wandering almlessly about the school building and occaslonally making some strange or incoherent remarks. At length Miss Hardee persuaded Miss Weed to retire and the dement- ed woman followed her to her own chamber on the third floor of the school. When Mrs. Page, the matron of the school, went to Miss Hardee’s room | in the morning to awaken her she was shocked to find both women dead in bed. Miss FElardee had been shot through the base of the brain, while there was a bullet wound in Miss Weed's right temple. A revolver, with two chambers empty, was lying on Miss Weed’s broas!

Eleven of the counts charged them with conspiracy and eighteen charged them with mak- ing false entries. Bail was fixed at $30,000 for Morse and $10,000 for Curtis. They were paroled in custody of their counsel in order to secure bail and were allowed three weeks to reconsider their plea. Both Morse and Curtis gave bail. Mr. Morse, at first, demurred to the $30,- 000 he was required to furnish and saild: “Well, I suppose I am the goat, as usual.” According to former Judge Olcott, counsel for Mr. Curtis, one of the in- dictments alleges that false entries were made in the books of the bank for the purpose of speculating in American Ice company stock for the benefit of the bank. Every one of these deals, Judge Olcott said, showed a profit for the bank. Loans of funds of the bank are alleged to have been made to a dummy, the money invest- ed in America Ice stock, which was deposited in the bank vaults to be sold as judgment dictated, and that the dummy named in the books of the bank never received any benefit from the deals. In the conspiracy indictment it is charged that Morse and Curtis con- spired to misuse the funds of the bank. ORCHARD PLEADS GUILTY, Will Be Sentenced March 18 for Mur- der of Steunenberg.

FACTS ABOUT NEW THEORY SECURED BY INTERVIEWS R ot N People Tell the Reason for Their Faith in Cooper’ ‘An article from the Nashville, Tenn., Banner, published during L. T. Coop- er's visit to that city, throws some light on the remarkable success of the young man’s theories and medicines in various cities visited by him during the past year. The article is as fol- lows: “In view of the enormous sale of Cooper’s preparations now going on in this city and the intense interest which Mr, Cooper has stirred up since his arrival, a representative of the Banner spent Thursday afternoon at the young man’s headquarters, watch- ing the swarm of humanity come and “During the afternoon the reporter Interviewed many of the callers and obtained statements from all who cared to give them as to their expe- :}ence with Cooper and his prepara- ons. “The following are selected from those statements as being typical of the general expression of the people seen: “Mr, B. B, Lasater, living at 1224 North Fourth avenue, when inter- viewed, said: ‘I have been troubled with my stomach for the past two years, and have had rheumatism for| more than five years. Sometimes I could not walk, and there were times When I could not even move in bed. Hard knots would form on my mus- cles, which caused me intense pain. Gas formed on my stomach after eat- ing, which gave me much pain and distress, and often I was restless and tosied all night, losing much sleep and Test “‘Hearing of Mr. Cooper and the great Work his medicine was accom- s Belief. plishing for others, I decided to try it. I have taken it about two weeks, and find myself in a greatly improved condition. My stomach is in good shape, and does not trouble me at all. My rheumatism has nearly disappear- ed, and I expect to resume work short- 1y, for the first time in twelve months. Mr. Cooper certainly has a wonderful medicine, and I am grateful for what it has done for me.” “Another caller was Mrs. T. J. Smith, of 505 Hudson street. She said: ‘I have been a sufferer from bladder and kidney trouble for twenty- five years. In that time I have tried many prescriptions and various kinds of medicine, but received little or no benefit from them. I seldom had a sound night’s sleep, my rest being bro- ken at intervals throughout the night. I had pains in my back and burning sensations, “‘I heard so much of Mr. Cooper that I came to the conclusion he might be able to afford me some relief. F have now been taking the medicine about a week, and feel better in every way. The pain has disappeared, and I have no distress whatever. I have come here today to express my appre- ciation to Mr. Cooper for his wonder- ful medicine and what it has done in my case. I will take pleasure in rec- ommending it to others.” “In spite of assertions by various physicians that Cooper is a fad who will soon die out, the young man seems to be gaining even greater headway as his visit draws to a close.” The agency for Cooper’s celebrated medicines has been given to us.
