A telephone message from Vern- dale, received this morning, announced that H. M. Henderson, one of the pioneer residents of Verndale and owner of the Verndale Sun, had died at his home at 8:30 this morning, death resulting from a cancer. Mr, Henderson had suffered with cancer for several years past, and about January 1, went to Minnea- polis to receive treatment from a specialist. His trip was of little benefit to his condition and he re- turned home in February. The cancer made great inroads on Mr. Henderson’s constitution and he failed rapidly, until death came to his relief, this morning. H. M. Hendeson was one of the best-known country newspaper men in the state of Minnesota. He had been a resident of Vern- dale for the past sixteen years and had conducted the Verndale Sun, bringing that publication from a struggling weakling to one of the best weeklies in the state, Mr. Henderson was quite prominent in the county and has for some time been postmaster at Verndale, the office being in recognition of his political work. The Verndale editor was a member of the Great Northern Editorial association, which organ- | ization has as its members news- paper men who live in towns adjacent to Great Northern rail- way lines. Mr. Henderson was a member of the executive committee of the edi- torial association and took a promi- nent part in all matters pertaining to the editors. Mr. Henderson was 37 years old, and is survived by a wife, having no children. The funeral will be -held at Verndale tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock. Mr. Heuderson was very popular among his fellow editors, being of a geniel, obliging disposition, and his death is sincerely regretted by all the “boys” and “girls” of the fourth “estate.” e Stores Close at 6 P.

OPENING ANNOUNGEMENT The Northwestern National Life In- surance Company of Minneapolis has sent me to Bemidji as its General Agent for north central Minnesota. The business is not new to me. I have been soliciting and writing life insue- ance for about seven years and am more or less familiar with most, if not all, the good companies. Let me say now and here that ALL OLD LINE LEGAL RESERVE life companies are perfectly SAFE and SOUND and worthy of your confidence. The Northwestern National Life asks your patronage because it is a western company. Your money, if entrusted to its care, is invested in farm mort- gages (see 23rd annual statement pub- Tished April 26 in Daily Pioneer) in the great west and northwest, and not in fluctuating stocks and bonds, and therefore helps to build up Minnesota and neighboring states. We of the west and northwest have been paying tribute to the east for forty years. ‘Why should we do so? When the 1907 panic came our money was tied up in New York and we needed it at home. I am glad to note that some of the Min- nesota representatives in Congress are beginning to get their eyes open to the truthfulness of this statement and are protesting against the grafting feat- ures of the Paype-Aldrich tariff bill that was framed in the interest of the east. We must learn to stand up for Minnesota. The Northwestern National Life writes only annual dividend business and its interest-earning power was sec- ond only to one company in 1908 and we expect to exceed that company this year. T hope to solicit your business in a frank, honest and dignified man- ner. Old line insurance is PURELY a BUSINESS PROPOSITION and is not a joke or a matter of friendship unless all things are equal.

We cannot tell when the prosecution will begin, but it will be as soon as we get our evidence ready to present.” EXCELLENT EFFECT AT TOKIO Cordial Reception Tendered Jap Ves- sels in California.
