POSSIBLY GRAND RAPIDS WOULD LIKE THE NORMAL Grand Rapids Independent Makes Sug- gestion that the ‘‘Rapids” Might Seek the Location. Since the most recent agita{&inn for a sixth normal school has been started, some new factors are appear- ing in the race for the location of the proposed school. It is now an- nounced that the village of Warren is casting longing eyes on the plum; and under the caption of “Do We Want It?” the Grand Rapids Inde- pendent insinuates that Grand Rapids could be prevailed upon to accept the school, should the legis- lature locate one there. The Inde- pendent says; “Educational men, and other men are quite free in advocating the ex- tension of the normal school system of the establishment of a new normal school somewhere in the northern part of the state. Bemidji, Cass Lake, Theif River Falls, Crookston and other north Minnesota cities are candidates for the school, and are already laying their lines for securing the prize. “Does'Grand Rapids want a nor- mal school? “None of the towns which are after the school are better equipped in point of location, beauty, sites, moral surroundings and other neces- sary qualifications than is Grand Rapids. “State Senator Gunn, who is deeply interested in Grand Rapids could render invaluable services to his home town in the matter. “Would it not be a good scheme to get a little public sentiment re- garding the matter? A mass meet- ing could” determine whether our people would want to go after such a school. “Why not try it?” Bound Copies of City Charter for $3. The Pioneer will soon print and bind copies of the Bemidji city charter, bound volumes of which have been greatly desired for some time, and will deliver the books, neatly and substantially bound, to order, for the small sum of $3.

Newman, advance agent for Ernest Fisher's “The Devil” com- pany, ‘came to the city today and has been billing the town for the famous play which will be given here on New Year’s night, Friday, Jan. 1st, 1909. Ernest Fisher who is acting the leading role of the play, was here with his “Cripple Creek” - company about a year ago and the company is one of the best that ever showed here. MAIL-ORDER BUYING IS PRETTY MUGH A HABIT Well-Informed Writer Gives Some In- sight Into Practices of Those Trading Thus. A writer fully conversant with, and experienced in the principlees of the mail order business “designates mail order buying asa habit, and we would add, in our opinion, is not only a habit but a mania. This writer says that ‘“people in ‘the country send away for goods of the same class that may be had at proximately the same price in their home stores. {4 The thing that isfar away possess- es a glamour for most of us. There are many country people for whom an article has an enhanced value if it comes from Chicago or New York. The goods that the home dealer carries are an old story: everyone has seen them, the neighbors have purchased them or else have priced them and know their exact cost. No one will deny the truth of this statement, by one who.is advocating the merit of mail order business, but at the same time this truth should be sent home to the people and we believe if it were fully elaborated on, that much sentiment would be creat- ed in favor of home buying. The same writer believes that the faci- nation of a certain element of chance in buying goods sight unseen and being attracted by the imagination of the ad.writer, has much to do in fostering the mdil order habit. Again agree with him, for there certainly is an element of chance when purchasing things unseen. Why people should persist in buying in such a manner, with opportuni- ties abounding for ‘seeing goods before purchasing, we cannot quite comprehend. That it is being done, though, it is quite apparent. The basis of mail order business is advertising. Advertising, in brief, is nothing but telling the people what you have to offer for sale, and in this connection we would suggest to retailers, two thoughts. First, make good use of the publi- cation in your own town by taking space in the same to tell the people in the territory tributary to your town of the goods and prices which you have tooffer. Secondly, encour- age the publisher of that newspaper to dwell upon the fact that recogni- zed authorities on the mail order business do not claim that greater values must be given or are given by mail order house than local dealers can or do give, but that mail order business is largely built upon the above named facination for chance, and encourage them to culti- vate the habit of buying at home.

FIFTY MEN GATHERED IN Captured in Basement After Officers Chopped a Hole Through the Floor Above and Secured Entrance—Wag- onload of Various Kinds of Gam- bling Paraphernalia Found in the ., Room and Confiscated. New York, Dec. 26.—An alleged gambling resort protected by a sheet fron door charged with electricity was entered by the police and a man who is said to be the proprietor placed under arrest. The place was raided about two weeks ago and, according to the police, the man now arrested is the same who was held as the pro- priet8r on the former occasion. In breaking in the sheet iron door several policemen were slightly shocked. An_electrical equipment is said to have been found above the door. Entering the parlor floor the police found it necessary to chop a hole through the floor to reach the basement, where about fifty men were gathered. They were all arrested. A ‘wagonload of racing slips, tally sheets for the Oakland and Los Angeles tracks, part of a roulette table, a faro layout and other gambling parapher- nalia were confiscated. CLOSES PICTURE SHOWS Mayor McClellan Acts on Protest of Ministers. New York, Dec. 26.—Moved by the protests of many ministers who com- plained to him that the great majority of the 550 moving picture show estab- lishments of Greater New York were exhibiting pictures detrimental to the morals of the youth of the city Mayor McClellan revoked every picture show Hlcense issued by the bureau of li- censes. : The order intimates that this revo- cation is only temporary, but the con- ditions under which new licenses will be issued are such that it is doubtful if more than a third will be reissued. AGED MOTHER INTERFERES Fatally Wounded in Attempting to End Sons’ Quarrel. Chicago, Dec. 26. — Margaret Thomas, eighty-three years old, did not wish to see “her boys” quarrel. She interfered when they engaged in a fight and begged them to become friends. Then in a frenzy one of them, Henry, fifty years old, turned upon his aged mother and with an axe beat her to the floor of their res- idence in Winnetka. Mrs. Thomas’ skull was crushed and she suffered other injuries from which physicians say she cannot recover. Her assail- ant has been held to the grand jury. SACRIFICE PROVES IN VAIN Autoist Gives Up His Blood in Effort to Save Victim. Atlanta, Ga.,, Dec. 26.—While David Schane, manager of an automobile agency, was lying on an operating ta- ble at Grady hospital giving up his Xlood in an_effort to save the life of -b=ppy ATfred Smart Grandy, eleven years ol ‘whom he had run down with his au- tomobile, the boy died of his injuries. The boy’s right leg was cut off and he suffered internal injuries. He was hurried to the hospital, followed by Mr. Schane, who volunteered to make the sacrifice to try to save him. NONUNION MEN EMPLOYED Only Reason Known for Explosion at Kansas City. Kansas City, Dec. 26.—A three-story brick and steel building in course of construction at Ninth and Oak streets was partly wrecked by dynamite. The loss is estimated at about $1,000 No cause for the dynamiting can be given by owners of the building other than that nonunion stecl workers have been employed in its construc- tion. 'The police declare it the work of some “hot headed union man.” Several windows in the vicinity were shattered, but no one was hurt. KING VIRTUALLY PRISONER Ruler of Portugal Closely Guarded for Fear of Violence. Lisbon, Dec. 26.—King Manuel is virtually a prisoner in his apartments, where he is surrounded by troops as a result of the danger of an uprising among the people and the disaffected troops. The leaders of the movement are known, but ‘the authorities are afraid to arrest them, as it would precipitate a crisis. The king asked ‘War Minister Tolles to form a new cabinet, but he declined. Diamond Necklace in Sheet. Boston, Dec. 26.—In a sheet which was about to be placed in a mangle that was to be placed in a hotel laun- dry here has been found a $5,000 dia- mond necklace of Mrs. John Decoste, wife of the well known English artist, who is at present in New York. NAPLES TO GREET WARSHIPS Division of American Fleet Due on Jan. 17 Naples, Dec. 26.—Preparations are already under way for the reception in honor of the division of the Amer- ican battleship fleet, now ecruising around the world, on its arrival at this port about Jan. 17. The division that has been designated to visit Na- ples after the fleet separates in the Mediterranean will be composed of the Wisconsin, the Illinois and the Kearsarge, under command of Rear REAR ADMIRAL POTTER. Admiral William P. Potter. The Ital- ian naval department has arranged for the visiting warships to be an- chored in the military harbor. A special committee has been formed, headed by the mayor of this city, and it is now planning a dinner to be tendered to the officers and men, a gala evening performance at the Theater of San Carlo, one of the largest theaters in Europe, and ex- cursions to Pompeil, the islands of Capri, Sorrento and Mount Vesuvius. NOTED FIRE FIGHTER MAY DIE THIS TIME Has Repeatedly Fooled Doctors on Other Occasions. Philadelphia, Dec. 26.—As the re- sult of smoke inhalation during a fire in a moving picture theater Samuel Dunlap, an assistant fire chief and one of the best known men in the local department, is in a precarious condition at a hospital. Several other firemen- were overcome by smoke during the fire, but with the excep- tlon of Dunlap none is in a serious condition. Chief Dunlap has been in more acci- dents than any other member of the Philadelphia fire department and he has more than once fooled the sur- geons by returning to duty after they had pronounced him hopelessly in- capacitated. Moreover, he is the herc of one of the most desperate rescues in the history of the department, hav- ing at the imminent risk of his own life gone into a building several years ago bringing out Abe Lacey, a fire- man who was injured with him in this latest fire. He went through smoke and sparks on that occasion with a roof nearly a hundred feet above ready to topple. Almost as soon as he reached the street with Lacey the building collapsed. For this act he was awarded a gold medal by the George Meade post, G. A. R., of which he is a member. He carries a bullet in his body reccived in the Civil war. Discouraged, Ends Life. Denver, Dec. 26.—Downhearted and discouraged because he was out of money and could not make his wife with Christmas presents Thomas Hamlin, a plumber, killed himself by sending a bullet iato his brain.
