JOSEPH TILL AT
WORK in FARGO
MAN, WHO HAS sERv.
ED TWENTY-oNE YEARS IN
PRISON NOW WORKING QUIET
LY AT his TRADE or HARNESS
MAKER IN THIS CITY.

To lose twenty one years out OF the
very prime of his life--this was the
experience Of Joseph Till who il now
working quietly at his trade in Fargo
after serving over twenty years in
North Dakota state prison on a MUIR
der Charge. Everybody in the state
has heard of Joseph Till. who was
convicted in Pembina county. of the
murder OF his cousin, and who was
pardoned this spring when evidence
was brought to light which proved
conclusively that the man was inno-
cent.
Till had been In America just eight
days when he was arrested on a
charge Of numbering his cousin. Love
for his cousins wife was the alleged
motive of the crime. There was moth
ing but circumstantial evidence
against Till, but this seemed to be very
strong and a jury found him guilty
and he was sentenced to life imprison-
ment in the state penitentiary.
Dave Morden, now living at Wahpe-
ton, who was at that time deputy
sheriff Of Pembina county, became
convinced, however, that Till was In
nocent and for the past fifteen years
or more he has worked to get evil
dence to prove the fact This spring
he was successful and there is no hap
pier man in the state than Morden, un-
less 1t be Till
Learned Trade in Pen.
Till learned three trades in the state
penitentiary, harness making, shoe
making and barbering. He secured a
position with the North Dakota Har-
ness Co about two weeks ago and is
now working there at the harness
making trade.
America has used me very badly
said Till to a representative Of The
Forum today, but there is just one
man who / believe has been unfair to
me. ! will give a statement for pub
lication regarding this man when the

expect to go to visit Mr. Morden,
who has done so much for me, in a
few days / also expect to go and
visit with friends In Pembina county
and at Devils Lake.
Till is German He is a small
man of very quiet appearance He
wears little black moustache and
was quietly smoking pipe when seen
by The Forum reporter at noon today.
He has innocent looking brown eyes
and has a straightforward glance and
a genial personality. yTe talked free
ly in fairly good English, although the
| German accent was uofioaahIa
my cousin, the man who they said
killed, was the man who sent me my
transportation from Germany to
America" said Till. He was my
fathers sisters son.

chIcaao Gossip.

Chicago, Sept. s.--It was the gossip
among wheat traders last night that
the big buying of wheat through the
Bartlett Patten House was mainly for
q large Northwestern trader. Patten
was credited with being big buyer,
but his operations were small. 1t was
said that the Armour interest contin-
ues to sell September wheat. Big trad
ers while bearish are not looking for
the market to go to pieces for the
present There were a number of
professionals who were bullish who
argued that all the bearish conditions
had been discounted in the present
price and that there is so much wheat
stacked throughout the winter wheat
country and the northwest that the ac-
tions will be slow. Sentiment among
corn traders was trifle less bullish
last night and some of the specialists
and commission men who had been do
ing a large business said that the bull
edge was off the market for the time
being. Inter Ocean

purpose Of investigating the spirit

It was only a few weeks ago that

spirit voices call and answer questions
just before Mrs. Pepper received word
of the serious illness Of her brother
and after all this, strange cries and
curious figures were seen in Kimmy

Mrs. la Bar is greatly interested in
spirit raps' and voices. being a noted

PENSIONS
RETIRED EMPLOYEES
Pennsylvania R. R. Has Paid
Over (hree Millions to
Its Veterans

More than 1900 employees Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad were receiving pensions
from the company on January 1. 1903. and
the payments authorized to be made to
them during the year of 1908 amounted to
s544. 2s5.0S. Since the pension department
was established in 1900, the sum of SS445,-
1871 has been paid to retired employees
These striking figures are brought out in
the annual report Of the Pension Depart
ment Of the company. which has just been
issued.
When its pension system was inangu-
rated by the Pennsylvania Railroad for
the purpose of providing for Its employees
in their old age, the sum Of 100000 was
appropriated for the first years payments.
This sum was continued for two years
and in 1902 increased to $4,000 per annum.
In 1907 It was raised to 900 This does
not include the operating expenses Of the
department, which are also paid by the
company, and which in 1908 amounted TO
S5s69.47.
All employees, no matter Of what rank,
receive pension allowances on relatively
equal terms. For every year Of service
rendered the company, retired employe
is paid one per cent. Of his average salary
for the ten years Immediately preceding
his retirement. In other words. man who
has worked for the company nifty years,
and who receive an average annual salary
of $1,000 the last ten years Of active SER
vice, receives a pension Of $500 a year.
A total of Ss7 employees were retired on
pensions in 1908. while 211 men who were
already on the pension list died during the
year. The number of retired employees on
December 8lst. 1908 was ZIG, or 15s more

The cuirass.

The CuirasS.
II Is a species Of tunic
It is very odd looking. and time will
prove whether It is to have an accepted
vogue.
It is a bodice that fits the figure closely
but that does not suggest any construction
Of the waist.
1t IS carried down beneath the natural
waistline straight and still closely fitting;
to the edge Of which is added a skirt.
In some cases the skirt is pleated
otherwise. there are groups Of gauging on
the hips and at the back, with light gath
erings IN front.
The fastening is at the back, so that
the effect is. on account Of its severity
somewhat trying to the figure.
A robe of this type seen the other day
had elaborate braiding upon the cuirass
which was cut in deep points stitched
over the pleated skirt.
II was also followed out beneath the
chin to show a shallow guimpe and higl

Conner Utensils.

Copper vessels for cooking seem almost
to have disappeared.
The reason for this is no doubt that
they require so much cleaning.
1t is a well-known fact that il they are
not cleaned most carefully they accu-
mulate verdgrs, which is a poison.
For most purposes nothing is better than
copper. always using this precaution Of
keeping it clean.
It is very durable.
It is also the best conductor OF heat
y Of all the materials used for cooking uten-
sis.
Copper IS better than iron for cooking
green vegetables. as It keeps them bet
ter color.
There is no danger from its use If the
saucepan or kettle is put away absolutely
clean and dry.
Nothing should ever be allowed to cool
IN it.
If it has been put away any time with
out being perfectly clean, put it on the
stove with water and a plentiful supply
of washing soda Let this boil then pour
off and rinse the pan. wipe quickly and
put back near the stove for a few min
utes.

Very elaborate dishes and fussy salads
are not now the thing.

cut for the top Of the -alad have no place
