Excerpts Political Grafters

a: bill introduced by Tilson, defines
a swindler or confidence man in the
broadest of terms, making his work a
penal %offense, and provides the easiest
possible mode of procedure in such
cases. This has passed the house and
has gone to the senate for action. An
other bill by Holman which has pass
ed the house and gone to the senate
for action provides that notes given
for medical service shall have the
words non-negotiable written or print
ed across the face of the note, making
failure to so do a misdemeanor. An
other bill by Kaugen has passed the
senate, and gone to the house contain
ing practically the same provisions in
regard to notes given to lightning rod,
and patent right peddlers. And in
the house Foster has presented a bill
making the operation of. ''bucket-shops'
a misdemeanor punishable by fine and
imprisonment or both. With all
these measures in existence, the graft
ing fraternity will have poor picking

Number Of Methodist
Ladies' Course a Fine One

On Saturday evening next at the
Gottschalk the third number in the
Methodist ladies' entertainment
course will be the lecture of DR.. Thos.
E. Green whose subject will be The
Key to the XXth Century. DR.. Green
has won a wide reputation as a plat
form orator. He is in the class whose
services are most sought for and it is
a piece of rare good luck that the
ladies were able to secure him.
After his lecture at Lexington, Ken
lucky, the Democrat at that place
said: "Dr. Green is an ~orator-and
Kentuckians love a true orator. and
they can tell one better than fine
horses and old whisky. DR.. Green
has a voice-a pure-toned voice. He
has bearing that attracts, tones that
thrill, logic that convinces and elo-
quence that moves. His tribute to
the flag was the most eloquent ever
heard on this platform, and at the end,
amidst tremendous applause, the audi.
ence rose and sang America"

Friends of Tony Thompson, a young
man who has been employed by the
Dakota Central Telephone company
for the past two years and a half,
were shocked to learn that he a
found dead in his in the Wiscon-
sin hotel on Saturday morning. An
investigation showed that he had I'M
doubtedly come to his death by car
bolic acid poisoning. DR.. Country
man. the coroner, was called and after
an examination of the remains de-
clared it a clear casa of suicide by car-
bolic acid poison. A pint bottle that
had contained whiskey and carbolic
acid was found in the room.
thompson was a we'll liked young
man and SO far as is known had no
enemies nor troubles of a serious
nature. He was not out Of work and
stood we'll with the Telephone com
pany. He was of a quiet and reserved
nature and not much given to talking
OF himself. He must have taken his
life IN the morning as his body was
warm when found at nine o'clock,
Chief Zirbes found upon ENDURING
that Thompson hada brother in West
Superior, Wisconsin, and he at once
notified him of the facts concerning
his brothers death. The brother
wired that he would be in the civ
Tuesday and take charge of the hoay
for burial.

Mr.. Gilbert Tompson, the brother

Monday evening and at once made
arrangements to take the body to West
