During the last week the Pioneer has sent to its subscribers notices of the new postal ruling and also with the notice we have stated the exact amount theyare back on subscrip- tions. In considering these notices, our Subscribers should not act hastily but take into consideration the posi- tion in which we are placed. The Pioneer is the largest paper in Beltrami county, and has never refused to send the paper to any honest citizens, even if more than a vear in arrears. We have always felt that the citizen who honestly in- tends to pay for the paper some time should be given credit, and for that reason we are carrying on our books | a great many who are in arrears one or more years. The Pioneer, in sending these notices, is simply obeying the ruling made by the postoffice department, which goes into effect April first. The government, in making this ruling, had no notion whatever of loaning to the various newspapers any partof its great power for the purpose of collecting past-due sub- scriptions. Briefly, the situation in this con- nection is this: The postoffice department has in the past been very liberal in rates of postage for newspapers, and it desires to conduct the same policy in the future. Itis a recognized fact that from the great dalies in the large cities to the humble local papers of small villages, newspapers are an educa- tion to the common people. These and other legal publications are allowed to mail their publications are allowed to mail their papers at one cent per pound. There would now be no new ruling in this re- spect were it not for the fact that the mail has become crowded to a serious extent of recent years with publications which are used purely for advertising purposes and for which no one ever subscribed or paid. This class of publications have increased wonderfully of late. Department officials for years have wrestled with this problem. The order which went into effect January 1, however, is the first step taken with the idea of disbarring from the mails spurious pnblications issued merely for advertising pur- poses. In the order of Jan.1, a legiti- mate newspaper and what are termed actual subscribers are des- cribed officially. It isset forth that a subscriber is one who takes a paper regularly from the postoffice and pays for it. To such a person publishers can send their paper through the mails at the regular pound rate. One who takes a paper regularly from the postoffice |or by carrier but does nos pay for it is not considered by the depart- ment officials at Washington an actual or legitimate subscriber, and {if the publisher desires to keep such a one on his list he can do so, but he must pay postage affixing to the wrapper,the proper amount of stamps the same as a private citizen, who frequently sends a friend at some distant place a copy of his home paper. Of course no publisher can afford to carry a subscriber on his list who is behind in his dues and in addi- tion pay a high rate of postage on the paper sent him. So upon the first of April every newspaper in the country will be obliged to cut off all delinquent subscribers, the depart- ment having given publishers 90 days more time in which to get their lists in the best possible shape. Many of our subscribers are ex- cepting this new ruling with the best of grace, and are paying up nicely.

HENNESSY. the publisher gets things adjusted to the new rule, it will be best for all. Thus it can be seen that if the postoffice department desires to make it impossible for purely advertising publications to use the mails at one cent per pound rate, it must pro- scribe rules to which that class of publication cannot conform. Having no legitimate list of sub- scribers, the postmaster general de- livered a knock-out blow to adver- tising pamphlets when the promul- gates the rule that none but those publications which have actual sub scribers are entitled to the bless- ings of the one cent per pound rate. Furthermore when the head of the postal service says that an actual subscriber is a person who takes and pays for a paper, not one who takes and promises to pay. Legiti- mate newspapers and their subscrib- ers are affected to some extent, but not disastrously; for in the end it will be better all around. This statement sets forth as briefly aspossible the motives of the postal department in making the recent order; and also explains why every newspaper publisher in the land just now in making strenuous attempts to get their lists in as good shape as they can by April 1. The Pioneer has a large list of subscribers in this county and all who are in arrears one year or more should liquidate at once and pay the outstanding indebtedness, in order that we may comply with the postal laws and still send the paper. ““Tilly Olson,” March 26th. No dramatic writer ever hit.upon the idea of making a young Swedish girl a heroine of a drama until “TILLIE OLSON” was thought out. There have been numerous Swedis- American dramas written for male stars, bat this is the first one in which the fair sex are exploited. The only Swedish character in “TILLIE OLSON” is the girl Tilly. The rest of the characters are pro- ducts of the great Northwest, the scene being laid first on a Minnesota farm and later in the city of Minne- apolis. ‘“Tilly” proves to be a very entertaining stage creation, for she is bright and witty and with a fund of good humor hid beneath the im- perturbility for which her nation is noted. The situations of the play are said to be extremely amusing and the comedy is clean cut and scintillating with good things from beginning to end. Some original specialties are introduced and a fine quartette is carried for the church scene. An adequate scenic equip- ment has been provided, every scene being from the studio of Messrs. Moses & Hamilton of the Broadway Theatre, New York. An exception- ally clever campany will aid in in- terpreting the comedy and the title role will be played by an especially clever comedienne, Miss Emily Erickson Green. At City Opera House, March 26th. “‘Lid” Goes on at Kelliher. Henry Pfund, the president of the new village council at Kelliher, has ordered,the saloon keepers "of that place to close their places of *busi- ness nights and Sundays. This will be an innovation for the town up north. The order issued by Mr. Pfund is as follows: “You are hereby notified to keep your places of business closed be- tween the hours of 11 p. m. and 6 a. m. and also on Sundays, it being in accordance with the state law. “Henry Pfund. “President, Village Council.” Small Blaze. Matches in a garret—a small boy—and a fire alarm caused con- siderable axcitement this afternoon at about 2:30 o’clock. The fire department was called out to the home of D. Sinear,: 917 Mississippi avenue, to extinguish the flames. It appears that the little son of Mr. Sinear was playing with matches in the garret, with the usual results. The fire was put out with but small damage to the house. STATE OF MINNESOTA, Beltrami County. District Court, Fifteenth Judicial District. Henry A.

DETAILS LEFT TO COMMITTEE Members of Organization Ordered to Cease Work on April 1 in Districts Where No Contract Has Been 8igned or Is Under Consideration. Indianapolis, March 21.—The na- tlonal gonvention of the United Mine ‘Workers of America has completed its disoussion of the -report of the scale committes by sections. The first sec- tion adopted was the one which levies an assessment of 50 cents per month on all members of the organization. This assessment, as explained to the convention by Secretary Wilson, is for the purpose of adding to the fund for the assistance of members of the unfon who by failure to secure contracts on April 1 may be forced to idleness. Other sections adopted au- thorized the international executive board to increase, decrease or discon- tinue this assessment; ordered miners to proceed to work where contracts are signed or joint conferences are being held on April 1 and ordered all miners to cease work on that date in distriots where no contract had been signed or joint conferences were not in progress. All additional details were left to the national executive board. After the report of the scale committee had been adopted by sec- tlons without change it was adopted aa & whole. The committee was dis- charged and the convention adjourned sine die. President W. D. Van Horn of the Indiana iminers said that steps would be taken at once by the Indiana min- ers to negotiate as a district with the Indiana operators. A meeting prob- ably will be held early next week. Partial Settlements Expected. President John Walker of the Ilii- nois miners said that the Illinois min- era and operators’ scale committes probably will meet in Springfleld March 27 to open negotlations for a district settlement. President William Green of the Ohio miners sald that the Ohio miners’ ex- ecutive board will meet in Columbus next week to deoide on the steps to be taken in that state, President Frank Feehan of the ‘Western Pennsylvania district will call & board meeting on returning home. President White of the Iowa miners is hopeful of getting a settlement in that district very early in April and the mines probably will be kept in operation. The Southwestern states will mest in joint conference in Kan- sas City next week and Central Penn- sylvania, Kentucky, Michigan and West Virginia miners will take steps immediately to negotiate district set- tlements. The indications are that the mines in at least Ohio and Western Penn- sylvania will be closed temporarily. Thers wili probably be temporary sus- pensions in Indiana and Illinois. In all other fields there will be but tem- porary suspemsions at most. BISHOP FOWLER DEAD. Long a Prominent Figure in Meth- odist Circles. New York, March 21.—Rev. Charles H.
