, (Special Dispatch to The Joaraal.)
Spokane, Wash., March 16 Officers
all over this aectlon ara thla morning
looking for a roan who, assuming th
character and presenting certain of the
cognized credentials of p postal in
spector, arm giving me name or i. w.
Bennett, gained admission Into a rati
way rnall car In a westbound Great
Northern train at Bonners Ferry, Ida
ho, lait night, made prlaonera of two
mall clerka and rifled the registered
mall at his leisure. The vslue he se
cured Is not known, but so far as the
registered mall has beon checked up by
the Inspectors here It doca not appear
that the bosus inspector's Ingenuity and
daiina profited him by any means
richly.
The first clue to the robber Indicates
thHt tho man In hiding In this city.
Streetcar men are positive that a man
answering the description glvi-n got on
a car near where the robber Is known
to have lift the train. The police are
searching lodging houses, as the robbxr
has not Dad a chance to leave the city,
lie cut his hand while rifling the mall
aacks and the man seen on the street'
car wore a bandage on one hand.
Clerks Made Prisoners.
Within a minute of his- entering the
mall cr at Bonner s Kerry, Bennett nac
Clerk John W. Nysteun covered with a
gun and looked In a 'small closet used
to hanjr clothing In. In this smnll plaoe
Nysteun almost perished of suffocation,
but on his plea for air Bennet set the
closet door ajar, binding It securely
with a rope.
Clerk Benjamin Stumpf was aalep
under a table while Bennett waa dis
posing of Nysteun and for some time
. afterward. On his awaking and emerg
ing Benni-tt covered him with hla gun
and In a Jiffy had him bound in a chaJr
with a coat uoa over ins nona.
Each clerk had a good square look
at Bennett and each la prepared to
identify him. He wore no mask, but It
Is believed he sought to confuse wit
nesties of his operations by lightning
changes with false moustaches of vary
ing colors and outlines.
Acted Mall Clerk Perfectly.
"Bennett'' went through all the rou
tine of a thoroughly authorized mall
clerk on the run to Spokane, lie to.k
on mail nt stations with all the gravity
of u veteran and threw off pouche
In a way to deceive thu very elect.
On reaching Spokane he quietly
dropped off at some point In the sub
urbs at which the train halted for a
crossing. Vogn put on his track later
followed the trail to a point where ll
Is believed he boarded a streetcar. Here
the scent was of course lost.
Inspectors are at work on the regis
tered mall to-determine the loss throu,-n
the robbery.

Bay City, Or., March 16. With good
prospects for better transportation fa
cilities between Portland and Tilla
mook bay points, the business men of
Bay City are also turning their atten
iinn to securing a. more reeular mall
service. There Is much complaint in I
this section on account or deiayea
mails, and the belief is growing mai
there is groia negligence on the part
of some carrier or postmaster along the
route bet veen Portland and Bay City.
The mail Is often delayed two or three
days, and a large number of Portland
dally newspapers from time to time are
lost and never reach their destination.
By the present service the mall Is
carried from Portland to North Yam
hill by train, and thence across the
mountains by stage to Tillamook City,
where it is again assorted and trans
ferred to another stage line which runs
through Bay City to Hobsonvllle. Mall
leaving Portland In the morning should
reach Bay City the following morning
at 10:30 o'c'ock, but there have been
so many delays during the past few
months that the business men here have
become thoroughly aroused and are de
termined to ascertain if the delays are
due to negllgence-or whether the pres
ent route is so arranged as to make
close and regular connections along the

A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON AD
VERTISINO written by Seymour Eaton of
Philadelphia for the readers of The Journal
SNo.5.
Never spring a big newspaper advertisement
upon the public unexpectedly.
Make it an invariable rule to lead up by two or
three nicely graded steps to the important an
nouncement to be made. People take a certain
pleasure out of anticipation. They enjoy thejr din
ner all the more if they have been anxiously wait
. ing to hear the bell. But if you open up your morn
ing newspaper and find blazed forth in big head
lines the advertisement of something startingly
new you are stunned rather than interested. If,
however, for two or three days you have been look
ing for this announcement and each day getting
a little more curious about it you get yourself keyed
up in anticipation and then if the announcement
is even better than you had imagined you surrender
in a body.
Don't pay the United States government 2
cents for carrying a letter or a circular worth less
than 2 cents.
.The average advertiser will shave off 15 cents
a thousand on envelopes and a quarter of a cent a
pound on paper and beat down the printer in price
so that he is obliged to use a 30-ccnt ink and by
various other economies get his material ready for
$6 a thousand. Ie will then pay the government
$20 for carrying his stingy, badly-printed, cheap
looking $6 worth pf stuff and pat himself on the
back for being economical.
Don't waste gray matter on your competitor.
No matter how entertainingly he lies you go right
on telling the plain, blunt kind of truth that-mother-used-to-make.
Truth can be made far more entertaining than
falsehood. Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade.
If the goods are shoddy advertise them as
shoddy, give good shoddy measure, and charge
shoddy prices. There are tens of thousands of
people who prefer shoddy ;. prefer to eat it, to wear
it, to be entertained by it.
If you have news to print about your store
some call it advertising don't order twenty-three
styles of type with whirligig borders and a crazy,
badly engraved picture. The mummer on New
Year's Day or the clown at Barnum's may look
funny but he couldn't make good on the road sell
ing gold watches. The advertiser has an idea that
the more fool things he drags into his copy the
more entertaining 'it is. The clown has the very
same idea.
The great thing in all advertising is not quan
tity of circulation but quality of your copy printed
in a newspaper the readers of which are able to
buy your goods.

The Journal on Wednesday, March 18.

"The execution of expression one
can produce in piano-playing by
means of the Pianola is marvelous,
and the Mctrostyle enables one to
play in the exact tempi interpreted

FRITZ KREISLER.
HAROLD BAUER. V,V
t'l consider the Pianola is super
ior in every way to all other piano
forte-players, and I am convinced
that no instrument cat be consid
ered complete unless equipped with
the Metrostyle. One is amazed to
find how closely it is possible for
an absolute novice to approach the
interpretation of a great artist by ;
means of this invention.
HAROLD BAUER.
Kreisler and Bauer are not alone in their opinion of the
marked superiority of the Pianola. The world's greatest com
posers, the foremost living virtuosi, the most distinguished musi
cal critics and musical authorities everywhere have unreservedly,
praised the marvelous Pianola. Yet the keynote of this mass
of approbation is the Metrostyle device, an exclusive feature'
with the genuine Pianola.
There is but one Pianola and Pianola-Piano made only, by
the Aeolian Co., and so marked. All others are imitations.
