Maj. Murphy of Minot, who has occu.

y Is ID. W.. e.
Maj. Murphy of Minot, who has occu-
pied a prominent place in state politics
was acquitted at the U. S. court in Grand
Forks last week from the charge of fraud
in obtaining pension for half-breed
woman. The woman was the widow OF
la soldier and afterward married again.
She worked for nearly year in Murphy's
house as servant. Murphy obtained a
pension for her and claimed to be ignor-
ant of the fact of the second marriage,
which would have debarred her from the
pension. The woman also charged him
with keeping the bulk of the money, one
thousand or more dollars, to his own
use, While he was cleared of the char
ges, warm friend, Sheriff Schofeld, OF
Ward county, was not so fortunate. One
of the jurors, while being examined, tes-
tilted that the sheriff had taken him to
one side and attempted to influence him
, in the Murphy case by telling him what a
good man Murphy was and that the char.
ges were trumped up by political enc
mics. The sheriff was called before Judge
Amidon, who gave him an awful raking
over and then sentenced him to 80 day:
in the county Jail. There are liable to be
warm times out in the county of Ward a
the election next fall.

inst as we thought, the Pink Paper
picks up the maverick editorial of the
Herald's Washington correspondent and
brands it as republican matter and that is
just why we put the proper brand on that
same before the Pink Paper had time to
get the calf. The Pink Paper says we
oppose free expression Of opinion. The
P. P. is very greatly in favor of the free
expression of opinion-among republic
can papers and the freer the better, ev.
en- to the extent Of free fight. There is
only one hope for the democratic party
for success in the ensuing election and
that is that the republicans shall quarrel
among themselves. The universal pop
ularity Of Roosevelt is the barrier to this
possibility. Only by destroying this pop
ularity can dissensions In the republican
party be brought about. Hence the P.
P. isin favor Of a free expression Of opi..-
ion in the republican papers,

not insane, and yet are not persons who
should be allowed to 60 at large, either

DARING
SWINDLERS
ARRESTED
Nilsson and Herbert Are Said TO
Have Secured $4,000 by
Their Crooked Operations.

Chicago, Sept. 24.-More than $4,000
stolen. business houses In every part OF
the United States victimised. bank cre-
ated. a waiter risen from poverty to af-
fuence and an ex-convict again placed
behind the bars-these are features IN the
meteoric carer of at least one of two mem
now under arrest in Chicago.
Postoffice inspectors made the captures.
Julius NJ. Nilsson. known by a dozen other
names. and Arthur ]. Herbst. also said
to have many aliases, are the prisoners.
Nilsson has confessed. but Herbst will not
admit that he had any part in the big
swindle.
Postoffice Inspector A. r. Germer has
complaints against the two men from
nearly 200 individuals and corporations.
who have lost amounts ranging from s26
to $1,000. All these have been victimixed
since June 20. when Nilsson opened an
office in Chicago. In previous operations
under different names the men are alleged
to have secured at least $lSo.OO In the
last IL months.
This was the mode Of procedure accord
ing to the inspectors:
Nilsson and Herbst would go to a city
and open an office. engaging ostensibly
in the metal ware, novelties. machinery.
or anything which they could secure on
credit.
They would operate under the name OF
some company well known to the busi-
ness world and in ordering goods to the
value OF thousands of dollars would give
commercial agency references.
After the articles had been received
tn bogus company would transfer the
consignments to a warehouse and then
ship them to New York where they we're
disposed of through a. fence" which baf-
fed the police for months. When eus-
picion was aroused the men would hee
to another city.
One of the boldest moves of the two
men Is said to have been to establish q
bank to give financial strength to their
enterprises"
One such concern called the Cook
County Bank OF Trade and Commerce.
IL alleged to have existed on paper only.
Nilsson worked for several years as q
waiter and In 1900 owned a restaurant
| In Chicago. He sold his place and
toured Europe. Then he returned to Bos-
ton and was sentenced there TO one year
| for shoplifting.

Some of the most stringent
laws are those which are unwrit-
ten.
One of these is that all men in
business shall be well and neatly
dressed.
This means a tremendous de-
mand for what are known as
business suits, because the value
of proper attire is recognized
wherever business is done.
We make our business suits
from American and Scotch chew
lots, black and dark-blue serges
and fancy worsteds.
Coats are mostly three-button
or four-button sacks, though we
have some English walking coats
to meet special requirements.
