Double| Vote Week is making many radical changes in the position of the candi- dates and their votes. Are you among those who are profiting by these changes? If you are not do not loiter away your time. but gather | 8 in the subscriptions and the double votes you are entitled to for them, providing you turn them in before 10 o’clock Saturday night. This is| your opportunity to pile up your votes and win a valuable prize. Stop, Think, Consider. Have you stopped to think and consider the fact how many votes a year’s subscription brings you this week? You get two for one, or 8,000 votes for every year’s sub- scription you turn in. Twelve of them would put you in the lead of the contest tonight or two for five years would put you in the lead and give you a surplus of almost 30,000. Just think it over. Take the vot- ing schedule and a piece of paper and figure it out for yourself. Th'\sI 1s the opportunity of a life time and it is knocking at your very door. Are you going to turn a deaf ear to it or grasp it with a firm hold. To use the expression that is familiar to you all “It’s like getting money from home without writing It’s a chance that in all probability will never be repeated and you had best make the most of it while it is here. Don’t Forget the Photos. You don’t want to forget about| the photos that Mr. N. L. Hakkerup is going to give to the lady who turns in the largest number of new subscriptions by nine p. m. tonight. Get busy and win them. Personal Mention. All the contestants are busy gath- ering votes, especially Miss Bertha Benson, Maude McCauley, Besse Cochran, Ruth Willcox, Miss Dul- lan, Miss Ollie Curtis, Edith Bord- gen, Hazel Minnick and Jennie Sater. Miss Anna Mae Danaher has got a slight attack of inactivity, but-in all probility will be gathering in the votes as fast as ever again this week. Miss Gladys Kreatz favored the contest department with a visit yesterday the first time in two weeks, but she says that she is| going to be a more frequent caller hereafter, which we sincerely hope | as Miss Kreatz, if she has a mind to, is certainly a peerless vote getter. N. L. Hakkerup makes offer to contestants. Mr. N. L. Hakkerup, the well- known photographer of Bemidji will give six sepia cabinet size photos finished in the latest H style, the acknowledged favorite |8 of everyone, to the contestant # turning in the largest number of new subscriptions today (Fri- g day) from 8 a. m. to 9p. m. Every new three and six monthand year subscription to the Daily or Weekly Pioneer will equal one count towards the winning of the photos. Every two and five year subscription as two and five counts, respectively. The win- ner of the photos will be an- nounced in Saturday night’s issue. NOTE. The Pioneer will not give out how much money or how many votes or the number of subscriptions the winner of the photos will have, but the judges at the close of the contest will verify the award. .| Miss Hazel Minnick is gathering in the votes in no mean manner, | and with the support of her Spooner friends is apt to spring into the lead any day. A Little Jaunt. “The White Streak” Model 10 Buick, the double of “The Pioneer” has made one more record for itself in the last week that will stand forth to it’s credit for many days to come. Mr. C. W. Jewett, with a party of four, and their baggage left Bemidji on. Monday at noon for Park Rapids a distance of 52 miles over some of the worst hills in Northern Minnesota making the trip in a few minutes over three hours. Those who were included in the party were Mr. C. W. Jewett, Mrs. Jewett, and their son Miller and Miss Ollie Curtis, all of Black- duck. To use Mr. Jewett’s express- ion: “We had a dandy trip without a mishap. Coming back Tuesday night by lamp-light making the return trip in three hours and fifteen minutes. The roads were in fairly good con- dition and at some places I was able to drive as high as forty-five miles an hour, but it’s nothing wonderful cause it’s been done hundreds of times before by other Buick drivers.” Wouldn’t you like to be the owner of the Pioneer auto so that you could step into your machine and wnirl away for a little jaunt of a couple of days or even a few hours of pleasure seeking. There is nothing like it. It’s the finest sport of the present day and generation. Step into tne Northern Auto Gerage and look over “The Pioneer” and ask Mr. Moberg to explain its mechanism to you in detail. You will find it interesting and instructive. [Continued on‘Page 7] Meeting of Adams Preshytery. A telegram from - East Grand Forks to a St. Paul paper tells of the meeting of the Adams Presbytery at that place, this week, as follows: “The annuul spring meeting of the Adams Presbytery convened at the Mendenball Memorial church here this morning. Rev. C. J. Map- son of Tenstrike, was elected moder- ator to succeed Rev. H, W. Goorgi, of this city, while S, E. P. White of Bemidji, senior pastor of the presby- tery, was appointed delegate to the general assembly meeting at Atlantic City. *“Reports of the standing commit- tee and of Rev. D. K. Laurie, pastor evangelist, were read. This after- noon the visiting pastors and elders were entartained by the Commercial club. “They were taken for an auto drive through this city, Grand Forks and the surrounding country where the farmers were busy at seeding operations. “The meeting closed with popular services tonight.” SENT TO THE ASYLUM; AS CRIMINALLY INSANE Attempted to Kill Carl Burklanfl in Roosevelt Township.—Shot Fussi- lade of Bullets. Andrew Leistham, a dangerous individual who was held to the grand jury of this county on the charge of assault in the first degree, was this morning taken to St. Peter, where he will be confined in that part of the state asylum which is set aside for the criminally insane. On March 12th, in the Town of Roosevelt, this county, Leitsham made a murderous assault on a neighbor, named Carl Burkland, and came close to ending the earthly career of Carl. The two men met on a road, when Leistham drew a revolver and shot Burkland in the back, inflicting a slight wound. Burkland grabbed the revolver and wrenched it from Leistham’s hand, and ran across the country to make his escape. Leistham unslung a rifle which he was carrying and fired six shots at Burkland as the latter ran, none of which hit the fleeing man. Leistham was later arrested by a constable and brought to Bemidji, and upon being arraigned was held to the grand jury on the charge of assault. The would-be murderer, while con- fined in the county jail in this city, has often stated that he would eventually kill Burkland, if he ever got out of jail, and has been so murderously inclined in his talk that the information was filed with Judge Stanton, who also gave the necessary facts in the case to Judge of Probate Clark. Judge Clark had Leistham brought before the insanity board and he was adjudged as being mentally unbalanced, whereupon Judge Stanton ordered him com- mitted to the ward of the St. Peter asylum set aside for criminally in- sane. Itis said that should Leistham ever be released as cured, he will still be held to answer to the indict- ment which charges him with assault in the first degree. Gave Enjoyable Dance. i The members of the Modern Brotherhood of America lodge gave a dancing party to its members and their friends in the Odd Fellows hall Thursday evening, the occasion being the thirteenth anniversary of its organization. In spite of weather conditions the party was well attenced and all members expressed satisfaction at its growth during the existence of the chapter. At the conclusion of the dance an elaborate supper was served. USED DYNAMITE ON STORE CARTER & SON AT REDBY Entire Front of Building and Some of Contents Wrecked by Unknown Parties, Last Night.—No One Was Injured. The front of the building occupied by D. W. Carter & Son at Redby as a mercantile establishment was en- tirely demolished last night' by an explosion of a charge of] dynamite which was thrown into the doorway of the building, [at about 11:30 o’clock. The front of 'the building was wrecked, some showcases and count- ers in the front end of Tthe ‘store were badly damaged, and a con- siderable quantity! "of china and glassware and other goods were to the front end of the store. F. A. Carter and family were sleeping in the second story of the building, and although the explosion shook the structure considerably, no one was injured, While there are no further facts obtainable, it is intimated that the building was wrecked by parties who live at Redby or in that vicinity, and that the purpose of the act was not robbery, as but little is missing from the stock. The sheriff’s office in Bemidji was notified of the explosion, and broken by the explosion, Iwhich did |the officers will visit Redby this no further damage than that noted afternoon. . — — ] Brotherhood of David Meet.

John O’Dwyer Will Donate Furne ishings for Room in Proposed Hospital Annex Perhaps the most elaborate room that is to be donated in the new annex to St. Anthony hospital will be furnished by Rev. Father John O’Dwyer, priest of the St. Phxlhp s Catholic church. Father O’'Dwyer has taken un~ usual interest in the hospital work, and has been one of its staunchest supporters in the past. This makes four rooms for which furnishings will have been donated. It only goes to show that the work in the past by the sisters of the bospital is being and has been fully appreciated. 4 There will no doubt be others who wish to give something towards the furnishings of rooms in this new annex. Wolgast-Nelson Fight Pictures Were Good. The pictures of the bloody Wole gast-Nelson prize fight, which were shown at the Majestic theater last night, attracted a large crowd of pleased spectators, who were almost breathless during the entire run of the films. The pictures are excep- tionally clear, with but an occasional slight darkness due to clouds that passed over the sun. They show distinctly every move of the fight and how the “Battler” got his. C. L. Burr, well known in Bemidjiy has charge of the pictures, and he deserves much credit for bringing here something really good in fight pictures. Attention, Bicyclists.
