THE BEMIDJI S R Socletys i torical s & . atates i fenman®. ILY PIONEE VOLUME 7. NUMBER 291. PUBLIC OWNERSHIP'S HELD ROUSING MEETING Brinkman Theatre Crowded to the Doors to Hear las. Connelly on Important Subject. James Connelly of New Vork City addressed a large and en- thuiastic audience at the Brinkman Family Theater Sunday afternoon, in spite of weather conditions and the fact that other meetings took place at the same hour, The Brinkman Theatre was crowed until even standing room was at a premium. It must be said that Mr. Connelly held the at- tention of this immense audience from the very beginning to the end of his lecture. Few audiences were ever more enthusiastic and the con- tinued applause upon applause re- ceived by this popular speaker was gratifying to him as well as the com- mittee through whose efforts Mr. Connelly was brought to Bemidji. The speaker received a splendid bouquet of Easter lilies during his time on the Brinkman stage. What effect Mr, Connolly’s address had upon the audience can best be learned from those who were in attendence. Judging from the enthusiasm dis- played he has certainly made many more friends and supporters of the policy advocated by him. At many gatherings where groups of men stand and talk through the city to- day, Mr. Connelly was the subject of discussion. Body Shipped to Grand Rapids. The body of Mrs, Marie Copley, who died suddenly near Kelliher last Thursday, was brought to Bemidji this morning, being en- route to Grand Rapids for burial at that place, beside the body of the father of the deceased. Mr. and Mrs., T. Craig of Kelliher accompanied the remains, Mrs, Copley was a sister of Mrs. Craig. Orchestra Will Go to Blackduck. “Happy” Anderson, advance agent for the Bemidji Orchestra, was at Blackduck Saturday, arrang- ing for the concert and dance which the orchestra will give at that place April 8th, at which time Andrew Rood will, as soloist, join with the orchestra in the concert, and a dance will be given after the enter- tainment. Business Meeting of Church. The annual business meeting of the Presbyterian church will be held Presbyterian in the church auditorium this even- ing at 8 o’clock when reports will be made by the different societies of of the church, showing the progress of the past year. The supporters and friends of the congregation are invited to be present at this meet- ing. Married Sunday. Edward A. Blade and Miss Rhoda M. Glidden, both of Nymore, were united in marriage at the Baptist parsonage, yesterday, Rev. H. Robinson McKee, pastor of the local Baptist church, officiating, and there being but a few of the rela- tives and immediate friends of the couple present. They will make their home in Nymore. Splendid Easter Services. Although there was not the most auspicious weather conditions yesterday, the Easter services in the different chuches, as well as the Masonic exercises at the City Hall, were well attended; and the different programs were all well rendered.

WOULD OUST HEAD OF POLICE FORGE Law Enforcement League After St Paul Pollce Chie, 8t. Paul, March 28.—Chief O’Connor and other officials of St. Paul are not enforcing the Sunday closing law ac- cording to a statement filed with At- torney General George T. Simpson by Professor J. A. Vye of the Law En- forcement league. Mr. Vye declares that the law is “flagrantly violated” and that it is pos- sible for the chief of police to enforee it if he wishes to do so and calls upon the attorney general to “take such ac- tion as he can against Chief O’Connor or other officials as will ensure the en- forcement of these laws.” The filing of the complaint followed a conference with the attorney gen- eral in which the case was reviewed, but it is understood that no decision as to the future action in the case was arrived at and Mr. Simpson has the matter under consideration. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1910. ‘OPPORTUNITY WEEK’ BEGINS WITH THIS MONDAY MORNING Seven Thousand Extra Vote Certificate Will Be Issued From Today, Till Ten 0’clock Saturday Night, April 2nd, For "Every “Book of Five New Six Months Subscriptions to the Pioneer.---Regular Votes Will Be Issued the Same as Usual On All Subscriptions.---Candidates Not Limited .to the Number of Books They May Secure.---Get Your First One Today.---Easy Profit Week Has Passed Into History.--- Judges, Who Make the Final Count At the Close of the Contest, Will Award the Easter Prize to the Winner. During one day this last week Henry M. Williams of Fort Wayne, Indiana, informed the leaders of the Woman’s Suffrage Movement that he was willing to donate a hundred thousand dollars in their cause and therewith handed them a check for the amount. Mr. Williams is a very wealthy Indiana Land Owner, his holdings being valued at over $1,500,000. He is certainly a philanthropist of no mean character. Mr. Williams, however, is not the only philanthropist and not the only one giving vast sums to womankind. The Pioneer is also doing the same thing for it is giving $2500 in mag- nificent prizes to the ladies of the Northland. This is “Opportunity Week” and the Pioneerisshow- ing its philanthropic mood once more. For starting with today and continuing ’til Saturday night, April 2nd, for every “Book of Five” New Six Months Subscriptions turned in for the Daily Pioneer it will give a vote certificate for 7000 extra votes. (This is outside of the regular votes that will be issued on each New Subscription going to make up a “Book of Five” each year’s Subscription will count as two for six months etc.) The Pioneer calls this ‘“Opportunity Week” for it gives every Candidate a chance to pile up her votes for the Capital, Grand, District and Sub-District Prizes. Remember the quotation from your old Latin grammer “Opportun- ity has hair in front, behind she is bald; if you seize her by the forelock you may hold her, but, if suffered to escape, not Jupiter himself can catch her again.” This is your opportun- ity; seize it with a good grip and don’t let it escape you.

It’s impossible to list and describe each article separately in this space— we wish we could. But the following gives some idea of the extensiveness of our line.

Idleness may trivel slowly, but the fervor of intérest caused Iny the announceme: .uf the be- ginning| of “Opportqmty Week” has not. All day' long the telephone wire has been kept hot with inguiries about the seven thousand extra votes that will be issued for every Book of Five Neéw Six Months® Subscriptions. If you read tonight'é: paper you will see that everything in re- regard to the extra vote certifi- cate is fully explained. In‘a nut- shell, it amounts to;this.— Five New Six Months Subscriptions to the Daily Pioneer forms a ‘“Book of Five” and on each of these books seven thousand extra votes will be issued after the regular votes on each of the Subscrip- tions making up thex ‘“Book of Five’’ are made out-~ In making up the “Books of Five”’ a year’s Subscription to the Daily Pioneer, will count the same as two Six Month’s Subscriptions and etc. Isn’t it simple. 7000 votes is more than 1000 added to each new subscription. This should add zest to your pursuit for votes. This is your opportunity to pile up your votes for the Capitol, Grand and Sub-District Prizes. To those of you whose names are on the “WAITING” list, this is to you like rain to the sun scorched desert. It is your Sal- -vation. The missing liok in your chain of success that leads to your winning a portion of the $2500 in prizes the Pioneer is offering the ladies of the north- land. Do not delay in starting your “Book.” “‘Make hay while the sun shines.” your votes and make sure of one of the many valuable prizes the Pioneer is offering you. It is easy. There should be no difficulty experienced by any of the contestants in getting five New Subscribers to the Daily Pioneer to make up a book of five in any of the Districts. If you take the time to explain that you are trying for a double object, it will make the obtaining of the subscriptions much easier. Tell your prospective Sub- scriber that you are after a double prize. Tell him first about the 7000 votes and then the Contest Prizes. Get them interested in you, the Contest and the Prize you are striving to win and the rest will be easy. Straight Business Proposition. Don’t forget for a single moment that this is a straight business matter; that you have something to offer every one in exchange for the Subscriptions you ask of them. The Daily Pioneer is worth the price of Subscription asked and MORE. It is a Daily paper, publishing all the news ' for all the people, all of the time. It is a-great educator and worthy of being in any one’s home and you are giving everybody who gives you a Subscription something that is of real value for the money they- expend. Use Persuasion. Use persuasion and u s e it diplomatically. Some people will say to you “We have no use for a Daily Paper”. In that case persnade them diplomatically that they have. Make them by your arguments change their minds by howing them that without a Dail y Paper they are out of touch with the world and behind- the times. Who would have known about the Cherry Mine Disasteliif it bad not been for the Daily papers. Learning things by hearsay is as out-of-date asa coon skin cape. This is where your fine work will come in, Persua- sion will do wonders—It is the Atlas of the modern Commercial World. The shoulders on which every successful business today rests. ‘Will Not Be Repeated. During this Contest the offer of “opportunity week” will mnot be repeated and will close next Saturday night at ten o’clock sharp. DON’T YOU FORGET IT. Six days is all the time you have, so don’t idle your time away. Show your friends you mean business and they will be with you. Roll up your sleeves and “dig” in. Don’t miss a chance win a 7000 extra vote Certificate. Don’t pay any attention to triflers, or listen to the chatter that is intended to obstruct. Every thing is open and above board in this Contest, and if any genuine Candidate will come to this office she can find out just how the wheels go round and how care- fully the records of votes polled are kept. There is nothing hidden and everything is open to the day-light. Judges To Award Easter Prize. At the close of the contest, Wed- nesday, April 27th, 1910, when the Committee of Judges will make the final count of all the votes cast during the Pioneer’s Mammoth Prize Contest, they will count the Subscriptions turned in by each Candidate during ‘““Easy Profit Week” and award the handsome ladie’s leather lined suit case, on display in Schneider Brother’s win- dow to the lady that turned in the largest number of New Six Months Subscriptions from Monday morning, March 21st, to ten o’clock Saturday night, March 26th as 'stated in the rules and conditions published gov- erning the awarding of the Easy Profit Week Easter Prize. The reason the Pioneer did not award -the prize Saturday night at the close of Easy Profit Week was because they wanted disinterested parties to mrke the award. Also because so many of the Candidates who worked for the Easy Profit Week Easter Prize did not want the number of New ' Subscriptions they turned in-made public as it would give the other candidates such an accurate estimate of the probable number of votes they were able to secure during the week. The Capitol . Prize. ‘The Capital Prize of the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest for the ladies of the Northland is a $1050 Model 10 Buick, one of the best and most popular cars of 1910 Model on the market today. Without a - doubt the Twenueth Century has thus far proven itself to be an era of wonderful advancement in arts and sciences. edly safe to say in this great onward march of progess the science of me- chanics as applied to automobiles has been among the most notable. Compare the present cars with those produced just ten years ago, and the growth and perfection is almost be- yond comprehension. : One of the earliest pioneers in automobile building was a Buick. It took its placg with the Ameri- can public as the Standard of ex- cellence and exemplification of ad- vanced science in automobile con- struction, No greater reward can be had for any car than having won the confidence 'and approval of the greatest people on earth, namely, the American Public, This ques- tion as to whetner the Buick has succeeded in_gaining this reward can be answered best by the fol- lowing facts: In 1904 the out-put was thirty-seven cars; in 1908, eight thousand eight hundred and twenty were mauutactured and sold, while in 19og the production was fourteen thousand six hundred and three. Great as has been the business increase of the Buick line, it is estimated that during the season of 1910, the Buick Motor company will manufacture and sell between forty and forty-one TEN CENTS PER WEEK. BODY OF MOREY MILLER BURIED THIS AFTERNOON Escort from Fire Department and Woodmen Lodge.—Funeral Held at Baptist Church. Escorted to the last resting place by a large number of friends, who had been intimate with the deceased during his life time, the body of Morey Miller was buried in Greenwood cemetery this after- noon, the burial ceremonies shut- ting from sight all that was mortal of one who was beloved by all. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church this afternoon, Rev.. H. Robinson McKee officiat- ing. Tne casket was covered with the most beautiful floral designs that loving fingers ever wrought, all of which spoke of peace, purity and immortality. At the conclusion of the services, a procession, with escorts from the Woodmen and fire department, wended its way to the “silent city.” To the broken-hearted father, mother and brother, who sitin thousand cars. The orders to date calling for forty thousand one hundred cars. An inspection of the 1910 line of Buick cars shows little change in outline owing to the advanced ideas incorporated in their standard models. A close study of the mechanical features; however, will show a perfection, of equipment which enables the Buick to give its thousands of patrons, a car still at the head of the long list of Auto- mobiles manufactnored today. The Buick Model 10 “The Pio- neer” is--a-‘winner and everybody knows it. -Thats why the. Bemidii Pioneer chose it, and here-are some additional reasons for it: First, be- cause it is not an ‘assembled car. Second, bécause it has a special steel frame with reinforce sub- frames. Third, the motor has the special valve and head construction, improved splashed system of lubrica- tion, new transmission and differen- tial gears; all examples of perfect merchanism, This | magnificent car has been run but once, that being the day it arrived in Bemidji when it was tested for adjustment (Which proved entirely unnecessary). The car is now at the Garage of the Northern Auto Company on display where it will remain until turned over to the lady receiving the highest number of votes in the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest for the ladie’s of the Northland. The Grand Prize. The Grand Prize of the Bemidji Pioneer’s Mammoth Contest for the ladies of the Northland is a $450 Style 16, Mahogany Kimball Piano, one of the finest, most scientific con- sorrow where his footsteps shall never again find echo, we extend the sympathy of one who knew him as a brother. Wnen they have drained the cup, may the peace that passeth all understand- ing come to them from One who cares for each little sparrow that falls, ‘structed instruments money can buy. Music with its wierd and won- derful charms is an art. It is the very soul of us. Ever since the time that Appollo first played on his reed flute it has soothed and- charmed the ages. Music swings the world to its time; playing on our emotions like the master band that renders it, but music you can- not have or get unless you have a perfect origin from which to produce it, that is the reason why the Pio- neer when selecting the Grand Prize for its- mammoth Contest had Bisiar & Murphy choose the Finest Instru- ment they had in their stock. Itis perfection itself. Every chord struck on the delicately conetructed keys brings forth a concord of sweet sound that words cannot describe. Every one appreciates, at the close of a strenous day, the rest that comes from enjoying good music, such as your mood may dictate. Perhaps all alone enjoy- ing some familiar song or hymn of your childhood, or thatbrings back to you the days goneby, andyour sweet- heart, and all that is rear and dear to you.
