The Unusual Has Happened
 Once More

c ONE fine imported suit o models that cost to bring over $200 and $150, have been reproduced for us at half and way less than half the originals were ever thought of for.
 You get the same fabrics, which are of rich broadcloth and kindred woolens, and the same Innings, and the same ideas-even to the buttons. But it's American tailoring it's masterful. It's Paris ideas though, true to life and if you or we or any other good judge didn't know, we could never guess what makes the price difference.
 There are English broadcloth suits of fashionable stripes of green and black. cutaway, lined with rich Peau de Cygne and trimmed with imported braids. Only $67.50.
 Another copy is of French broad cloth with velvet vestee, braid trim med, coat lined with Peau de Cygne, and the skirts are all trimmed with folds of course. Coats 40-inches long s52.50.
 Rich velour suits In wines, greens and browns, 30-inch coats, satin lined. full tailored sleeves, and re- versible cuffs. Skirts are full pleated and trimmed in bands of braids to match. Only $<5.O0.
 Some other very elegant suits are $35.OO.
 Please note that these are all pos itively new, having been tailored since the arrival of our Mir Joseph in New York city some two weeks ago.
 More help in the work rooms now promises more efficient service in the delivery of garments. For your patience and past considerations we are very mindful.

An Enchanting Dis play of Rich Furs'

TT HE Fur store is in the l height of glorious rich ness. The furs are exclusive. Crown Royal Ermine pieces are novels of beauty, and many lingering looks will follow the wearer of them.
 The rich Stables, Caraculs, Minks, Squirrels, Fox and Lynx pieces form a show that is a marvel to those wearers who have always found rich displays only in the East and North, or in some foreign land.
 Seal coats are of the most reliable and most perfect finish. London furriers have put the best efforts of their lives on them-taking sixty days often on single garment.
 Russian Pony Skins make magnificent auto coats for this climate. In colder localities they are worn in full suits for autoing.
 Then there are Blended Squirrel, Persian Lamb and Black and Brown Coney Coats,
 These latter are very mex pensive.

An old subscriber to this every re-
spectacle family journal, residing in
prosperous village to the north OF
us, remarked the other day in this
Office that she didn't make the pur-
chases at certain store in Wadena
she formerly did, because she hadn't
noticed any advertisements OF late
in The Pioneer Journal, calling at
tention to seasonable bargains. "My,
but there is difference IN that store, "
she said, in concluding her remarks.
l"I visited it for the first time in a
year today, and there didn't appear to
be much going on. Formerly it was
one of the busiest institutions in your
handsome little city, but unless l
happened in, upon an unusually dull
day, it is different now" And the
friend departed, never suspecting,
perhaps, that she had delivered a
powerful speech upon the wisdom OF

Hon. Chas. s.. Fairbanks of lndi-
ana, vice president of the United
States and candidate for the presi-
DENTAL nomination, was in Sank
Centre Wednesday evening. Mr..
Fairbanks did not linger long in the
city. He was inside the city limits
while the Winnipeg Flyer was here,
that's all. The vice president was IN
his way to Fergus Falls where he was
billed to speak on the Fourth. The
train was at the station several
minutes and The Herald took adj
vantage Of the opportunity to get
"next." The vice president looks
like his pictures, tall and slim but is
not so chilly in manner as the general
impression would seem to imply.
He is pleasant gentleman to meet
and expressed himself with great
pleasure in having the privilege oil
visiting the great Northwest. As to
presidential possibilities the vice
president declined to express any
opinion. Mr.. Fairbanks goes from
Fergus Falls direct to Seattle, WASH,
to deliver an address before the Ma
tional Christian Endeavor convention
which meets there July 10 to Is.

THE KOCH CASE
New Evidence Said to Exist Which
May Prove the Innocence of
the Former New Ulm
Dentist

The famous Gebhardt murder at
New Ulm, which excited so much in
,terest all over the country and which
resulted in the freedom of DR.. Koch,
the dentist who was tried on the charge
OF killing Gebhardt, may have another
airing in the courts. DR.. Koch, it will
be remembered, stoutly proclaimed
his innocence of the crime and after
the trial established himself in Mime
apolis where he has since been
practicing his profession. Koch's
friends have persistently asserted the
innocence of that gentleman and
recently the following article appeared
in the Owatonna Journal relative to
the case: ......
"One of the prominent druggists of
the city of New Ulm, the scene of the
famous Gebhart murder and Koch
trial, was in this city this week and in
conversation with a local business
man stated that he is positive that DR..
Koch is innocent of the terrible charge
that has been laid at his door.
"While the sensation created by the
terrible murder and the trials that
followed has subsidized and public
interest has been directed in other
directions, detectives are still at work
trying to solve the mystery. The New
Ulm business man states that they
have some very good ground to work
upon and are now confident that Koch
is innocent and that party, known to
few, is the murderer. He says that he
has interviewed and examined Koch
on a number of occasions aud each
time-has become more convinced that
he is innocent. He was present in the
Koch home when the father of the
accused man presented the young
doctor with revolver and told him if
he was guilty to go out and end it all.
Koch said at that time if he was guilty
he would take that step but he was
innocent of the deed and would yet
prove to the world that he spoke the
truth. These and many other severe
tests the young man had to face during
the trial."

CONVENTION
Sank Centre Delegation Returns
From Brainerd Pleased
With the Meeting

The Sank Centre delegation to the
Christian Endeavor convention at
Brainerd last week, consisting of Glen
Cooper and Misses Bessie Parker and
Marion McCollum, returned Friday
afternoon tired but happy and en-
thusiastic over their trip and the con-
vention.
The convention was made up OF
delegates from the counties of Crow
Wing, Morrison, Stearns, Todd, Pope,
Douglas, Benton, Aitken and Cass,
and lasted three days.
The delegates were royalty enter
tanned during their stay in Brainerd.
Committees from the local union at
Brainerd met them at the trains and
conducted them to headquarters for
dinner and from there escorted them
to their respective quarters in private
families.
The convention opened Tuesday
evening, the chief number on the
program being an interesting and
instructive talk on "What the G. E.
Is Accomplishing Throughout the
World" by the efficient state secretary
Miss Lucy Gundlach of St. Paul.
j. E. Berry of Brainerd gave an
address OF welcome, response being
made by Rev. Fleming of Long
Prairie. ..
Wednesdays program was filled
with good things, as was also that OF
Thursday. Special mention should
be made OF Miss Gundlach's ..'Bible
Study" talk Thursday afternoon, also
OF the Model Junior meeting the same
day led by Miss Constance Madison.
The local union had planned an
outing for 3p. m. Thursday, so
promptly at that time the teams were
at hand to convey the visitors to
Gilbert Lake where some time was
enjoyably spent boating. Supper was
served early.
Officers for the following year were
elected as follows: pres, Rev. G. H..
Fleming, Long Prairie; vice pres,
Mr.. Perley, Long Prairie; Sec, Miss
Mary Johnson, Alexandria; treas, j.
10. Knox, Alexandria; Junior supt.,
Mise Whitley, Brainerd. Staples
was selected as the next place for
holding the district convention.
A feature OF the stay in Brainerd
was a base ball game Tuesday after
noon between the ministers and the
business men OF BraTnerd, which re-
suited in score of Is to II against
the parsons. The delegates who saw
the game had plenty of fun.
