BERI PAID ENTERTAINMENTS FIVE GENTS PER LINE These Giving Entertainments and Charg- | ing Admissions, Must Pay Cash.— No Tickets Wanted. Hereafter, the Pioneer will make a uniform charge of 5 cents per line for [local matter inserted in the paper advertising any entertainment where admission is charged (with absolutely no exception) with fav- ors to none. We are forced to this action, as our columns have been altogether too well filled with this class of ad- vertising -matter, to the exclusion of live news matter, and with no other remuneration to us except a! few tickets to some entertainmenti or show which we did not give a “rap” to see or hear, the tickets hardly ever being all used, and the priceof the tickets, at full rates, by no means equaling the cost of the advertising. We are not selecting any class of entertainment in mak- ing this rule.We simply want pay for our work, and we will be found to] be as liberally patronizing these entertainments as any institution in the city. But there is such a thing as “riding a free horse to death.” We wish to establish this rule: Pay for your advertising, and we will pay cash for our tickets. This is but fair.

Johnson of St. Paul, presi- dent of the C. I. Johnson Manu- facturing company, dealers in print- ing machinery and printers’ sup- plies, arrived in the city last even- ing and spent this forenoon and part of the afternoon in the Pioneer office, renovating some of our presses and readjusting, shafting, etc. Mr. Johnson had been called to Walker to set up a new Campbell | book and job press for F. A. Dare, proprietor of the Walker Filot. The press is one of the best that has {come into this north country, and | will give the popular and efficient owner of the Pilot a first-class machine on which to print his most excellent paper. Mr. Johnsonis one of the best machinists in the United States, and he hasa host of friends in northern Minnesota, who “‘bank” on him and his house, when they need anything in his line. His square dealing with the “third estate” folks have given him a prestige that is unequaled by any other man in the northwest. C. L is all right. The Pioneer has purchased sev- eral hundréd dollars worth of print- ing material from Mr. Johnson, dur- ing the past year, and we have found him “square” in every partic- ular. « Moral: Advertise. Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was whfli}q as snow; it strayed away one day where lambs should never go. And Mary sat her quickly down and tears streamed from her eyes; she never found the lamb be- cause she did not advertise. And Mary had a brother John, who kept a village store; he sat him down and smoked his pipe, and watched the open door. And as the people i passed along and did not stop to buy, John still sat and smoked his pipe and blinked his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff closed him out, but still he lingered near, and Mary ihave been cutting came to drop with him a sym- pathetic tear. How is it, sister, can you tell why other merchants here, sell all their goods so readily and thrive from year to year. Remember- §|ing her own bad luck the little maid replied: These other fellows set there, John, because they ad- vertised.—Lynn Herald. Robinson & Dick Logged 7,500,000. W. Robinson and P. Dick, log- gers who do business under the firm name of Robinson & Dick, spent last night in the city. They timber in the Kabekona .gulch country, this win- winter, and they have already taken out, banked and made ready for driving some seven and one-half mill- ion feet of timber, at their camps ten miles northwest of Laporte. To a Pioneer representative, last even- ing, Mr. Robinson stated that he expected that they would finish their logging in about two weeks. JAP PRESS CHANGES TONE No Longer Demands Aggressive Ac- tion Against China. Tokio, March 13.—The demand of the press and the public of Japan for aggressive action agginst China in | connection with the Tatsu Maru affair is subsiding. 4 The Asahi, one of the most influen- tial newspapers, discusses the matter et length and urges the government to seriously conmsider the moral side of the case and not to press China to extremes. It thinks that Japan should exercise greater vigilance concerning the export of arms destined for the use of insurgents against a friendly government. This view is gaining ground and it is understood that the minister of war,” General Terauchi, and Vice Ad- miral Saito, minister of marine, are opposed to aggressive tactics. The British minister, Sir Claude MacDon- ald, has held lengthy conferences with Foreign Minister Hayashi. The sentiment gathered from the foreign office supports the suggestion that Great Britain is urging an am- icable settlement and dwelling upon the moral obligation of Japan to- wards China. The foreign office asserts that no ultimatum has been issued in the mat- ter, but the belief is expressed that the negotiations may be protracted. In well informed circles it is assert- ed that China will eventually agree to the demands of Japan in consideration of a pledge upon the part of Japan that a closer watch will be kept upon exportation of arms. WOULD CRIPPLE TINDUSTRY Argument Used Against Eight-Hour Day for English Miners. London, March 13.—The colliery owners who have been conferring in the city on the subject of the govern- ment’s bill establishing an eight-hour day for miners decided, should par- liament pass the measure, to advance the price of coal 36 cents a ton and to make all future contracts on this basis. Shipowners, railways and man- ufacturers have been sending delega- tions to Herbert Gladstone, secretary for home affairs, ever since the intro- duction of the bill, pointing out that the inevitable curtailment of the out- put and the increase in the price of coal will mean a serious financial strain, if not bankruptcy, to many of the country’s big industries. Mr. Glad- stone thinks these fears are exagger- ated, but admits that the bill will re- quire some amendments. TEN PER CENT CUT IN PAY Order Affects 25,000 Cotton Mill Op- eratives. Lowell, Mass, March 13.—Notices announcing a wage reduction of 10 per cent have been posted in seven of the large cotton factories in this ecity. Nearly 25,000 operatives will be af- fected by the cut. According to the notices the reduction will become ef- fective March 30. The manufacturers state that the business outlook is most discouraging and that the situation is without a parallel in many years, the whole cot- fon manufacturing industry, North and South, being seriously impaired. It is also stated that further curtail- ment of production may become nec- essary. The announcement of the reduction came as a surprise. Gates Buys Goldfield Mine. Reno, Nev., March 13.—Albert Mey- ers and T. D. Murphy, acting for John W. Gates of New York, have secured control of the Combination Fraction Mining company of Goldfield, securing 501,000 shares of the stock at a price of $1.15 a share. It is stated here on the best authority that the purchase {8 made for the purpose of turning the Combination Fraction over to the Goldfield Consolidated, giving that company control of practically all the big mines in the Goldfield district. Tight Lacing Kills Woman, Balt Lake, March 13.—Mrs. Carl Gunkle, wife of a restaurant keeper of Bingham, Utah, laced a new pair of corsets so tightly that she crushed her heart, causing the blood to shoot to the head, and fell to the floor in a swoon. Her husband summoned a physician, but Mrs. Gunkle was dead before. the doctor arrived. He said that she had caused cardiac paralysis by the tight lacing. Missouri Delegates for Hughes. St. Louis, March 13.—Resolutions were adopted in Republican conven- tions lheld in the Eleventh and Twelfth congressional districts endorsing Gov- ernor Charles E. Hughes of New York. The delegates elected to the national convention in the Twelfth district con- vention were instructed for Hughes, but the delegates in the Eleventh dis- trict convention were left ‘unine structed. HHEAD OF SCARDULE VESSELS IN PERFECT SHAPE Admiral Evans Declares Entire Squad- ron Is in Condition for Any Emer- gency or to Sail for Any Destination at an Hour’s Notice. San Diego, Cal., March 13.—A wire- less message received by the Point Loma government wireless station is to the effect that Rear Admiral Rob- ley D. Evans and his big battleship fleet has arrived off Magdalena bay. News that the big fleet has already arrived at Magdalena bay comes as a big surprise. The itinerary of the long voyage, beginning with the start from Hampton Roads on Dec. 16 last, did not call for the arrival of the ships at Magdalena bay until Sunday, so with their arrival at the Mexican bay ‘Wednesday night the fleet is almost four days ahead of time. It has been known for some weeks past that the “big sixteen” would ar- rive at its practicing ground ahead of time, but it was never suspected that such an excellent showing as this would be made. The important fact about it is'that most of the four days’ gain in time. was made on the last stretch of the voyage from Callao, South America. Previous to the visit at ‘that port the fleet was kept on schedule, making the various stops the full length called for in the itin- erary. i Fleet in Perfect Condition. An official message was also re- ceived from Rear Admiral Evans him- self by the local wireless station to be I transmitted to Washington. It was to the effect that Admiral Evans report- ed to Washington that he arrived at the bay with all of the ships of the fleet in even better condition than at the time when it sailed from Hamp- ton Roads and that he is even now ready for any unforeseen emergency that may arise and that the entire fleet is prepared to sail for any des- | tination at an hour’s notice. The importance of this message is overwhelming. The eyes of the en- ! tire list of naval officials, practically every citizen of the United States and | even the entire werld were expectant- | ly-awaiting the reports at the ter- minus of the voyage as to the effects it would have on the ships. Now that word has been received that the entire fleet is in even better condition than at the time it started on its long cruise the mammoth naval undertak- ing is crowned with boundless suc- cess. CRUISE A GREAT SUCCESS Voyage of Battleship Fleet Up to Expectations. ‘Washington, March 13.—A feeling of genuine satisfaction prevails at the navy department over the news of the arrival of the battleship fleet at Mag- dalena bay, the last stopping place of any length of time before the vessels reach San Francisco. 'The fleet has now covered the last long leg in the long voyage on which it originally started, the itinerary to San Fran- cisco from Magdalena bay contemplat- ing a number of stops en route. Taken primarily as a practice cruise the voy- l age has come up to expectations and ample and repeated opportunities have been afforded for drills, evolu- tions and other naval tactics as well as opportunities for careful and exact- ing seamanship in waters new to many American naval men. Above all the fleet practically has finished the trip without an untoward incident of con- sequence and has arrived at Magda- lena bay over three days ahead of her schedule time. Naval officials say there is genuine cause for congratula- tion over the manner in which the fleet. has completed its voyage. WALLACE IS REVERSED. Sunday Closing Affected by Missouri Decision. Jefferson City, Mo., March 13.—The crusade for enforcement of the Sun- day laws instituted by Judge W. A. Wallace of the Kansas City criminal court received a setback by a decision handed down from the supreme court holding that the law enacted by the last legislature creating the Second division of the Jackson county crim- Inal court is constitutional and legal and that, therefore, Judge WaHace must certify cases to that division on change of venue. This was the contention. of the the- ater people whom Judge Wallace caused to be indicted on charges of viclation of the laws by working on Sunday. Judge Wallace maintained that the law was unconstitutional and called on Judge Fort of Stoddard coun- ty to try cases. Test Missouri Insurance Law. Jefferson City, Mo., March 13.—The supreme_court has issued an alterna- tive writ of mandamus against W. D. Vandiver, state superintendent of in- surance, to compel him to issue Ii- censes to the Prudential, Metropolitan and Egquitable Life Insurance com- panies to do business in the state. The writ is returnable in court en banc on April 1. The case is brought to test the law passed by the recent legislature prohibiting the licensing of companies which pay officers sal- aries of more than $50,000 annually. King Warmly Greeted at Madrid. Madrid, March 13.—King _Alfonso has arrived here from Barcelona, where he has been for two days. He was given a warm welcome by the people at the railroad station. The two queens, the dowager, his mother, and Queen Victoria, his wife, together with the other members of the royal tamily and a large gathering of munie- Ipal officials, greeted his majesty at the raflroad station.
