Pancoast, the general representative for the Twin City Commercial Bulletin, writes the Pioneer as follows concerning the Daily Pioneer of June 18-19-20, when we printed the edition with purple ink and had many illustrations: “Doar Friend ‘Doc’:— “St, Paul, June 27. “Permit me to slap you on the back for the excellence and ‘liveness’ of the ‘purple editions’. I read them with a great deal of pleasure an;lfi interest.” Unknown Man Killed Near Wilton The body of an undentified man was found lying beside the G. N. railroad tracks, a short distance from the east switch at Wilton, by section men, who were going along the track on a handcar to ther regular day’s work. The scalp of the man was bruised and investigations showed that his neck was broken. There were marks in the sand showing that the body had been dragged two or three rods and then thrown into the ditch. As there had been no freight train for several hours before the accident it is believed that the man was killed by the east-bound ' passenger train. Dr. Marcum of this city, county coroner, was at Wilton making a professional visit and he was notified of the finding of the body. The coroner made an examination of the body, ascertaiuin{z that the scalp was bruised and the neck broken. A search of the man’s clothes brought forth a nickle and two pipes. There was also a letter addresed to Alex Erickson. It was signed Alex Erickson, Alberta Canada. The body was brought to Lahr’s undertaking rooms in this city last night where it was kept until this morning. As there was no means of finding out the real identity of the man, or whether he had any relatives. the body was taken to the poor farm and buried in the potter’s field this morning. There were no indications of foul play in connection with the man’s death and it was deemed unneces- sary to hold an inquest. PRAISES LOGAL BUSINESS FIRM'S ADVERTISEMENT Twin City Commercial Bulletin Compli- ments O’Leary & Bowser on “‘Ad” Printed in Pioneer. The Twin City Commercial Bul- letin pays a deserved compliment to O’Leary & Bowser of this city, for the merit of an advertisment which that firm recently had printed in the Daily Pioneer. The “Bulletin” says: “On this page is reproduced a sensational ad, because it is a good example of what a real sensational ad should be. The head line labels it for just what it is. The man who wrote this ad marked it “Sensation- al” because it was to advertise a most sensational sale. “It has been labeled properly, as it contains just what the label indi- cates—sensational bargains. “Six Sensational Bargains—Six hours if the goods last that long— Be early and get first choice—Just one zarmeflt to a customer—No tele- phone orders filled,” this is the kind of copy that counts. Every line de- livers a message that actually means something. “Then comes the sensational bargains—'‘40 Men’s Black Frock Coats out of $15.00 and $20.00 suits for 98 cents.” Now that certainly is a genuine sensation. A wonder- ful reduction like this is seldom heard of in retailing, and especially not every day. “Note the other bargains in the Men’s department. ‘“Three and five dollar men’s shoes for 98 cents and dollar and a half and two dollar hats for 98 cents. “Then in the ladies’ department the bargains are just as sensational. O’Leary & Bowser of Bemidji, Minn., did not use a lot of hick- neyed, high sounding superlatives to tell about what they had t8 offer. They called a spade a spade, a sen- sation a sensation and the ad cer- tamly struck home. And they made good their claim, for every one of the six bargain offers was a sensa- tion—you can even see that from the prices quoted in the advertisement. “Unless a merchant really has something aensational he should not attempt to frighten the people by asserting he is losing money and making terrible sacrifices. “Reserve some of the superlatives until you have a' really sensational lot of bargains—then call the sale what it really is, without a lot of shouting, ‘“Marvelous,” “Wonder- ful,” “Stupendous,” etc.” ; Case Dismissed. 3 Martin Larson of Beuna Vista was arrested recently upon the complaint of Soren Sorenson who charged Mr. ! % ot 2 o an Larson with selligg and delivering oak planks at $15{per thousand to the town board of Turtle Lake at a time when he, Larson, was a member of the town board. The case was called before Walter Neudick of Beuna Vista. A charge of venuewas taken to John Petri of the Town of Liberty who dismissed the case upon its presentation to him.
