THE PIANO CONTESTS OVER.

THE Modern Woodmen, Company K, The Ladies Auxiliary of the A. O. H. and The Independent Order of Foresters Successful.

The Carlisle and Fischer piano contests inaugurated in September closed Monday at 1 p.m., and the first man that ever mentions anything of the kind to Stillwater merchants will be dealt with in a manner that will not be to his liking. Talk about fakes. Words cannot express the contempt of some people for the manner in which the two contests were conducted. In justice to some of our business men, it must be said that they did all in their power to prevent fraud and faking, but some of them openly assisted in helping the contestants by giving out thousands of votes for which no sales had been made. There is no need of denying it, for the assertion can be substantiated with proof so conclusive that no one will attempt to deny it. There are instances on record where parties making 25 or 50 cent purchases were given a thousand votes and on the last day nearly every ticket held back by merchants was placed in the box. A thorough canvass of the businessmen of the city was made by all parties interested in the contest Saturday and Monday and tickets were lifted everywhere. It is also stated that tickets were printed in St. Paul and Minneapolis and these were voted by the purchasers after they had been dated and stamped with rubber stamps similar to those in use by other merchants who were in one or the other of the contests.
