They Stole SIX Suits.

The two colored men, Jacob Simp-
son and Wiley Brown of Fargo who
were arrested last Friday morning on
a charge of stealing certain suits of
clothes from a store at 420 Front street
entered pleas Of guilty before Judge
Wade on Saturday very shortly after
a preliminary hearing and later they
asked County Attorney Johnson to all
low them to plead guilty to grand
larceny in the second degree and Mr..
Johnson has the same under consid-

since this would be obviously impos-
sible. Their use is intended only in
connection with evening attire. Even
with this limitation. however, at first
glance it would seem that the popu-
larity Of the cut glass heel Is doubt
full. However, New York has seen the
arrival, adoption and disappearance OF
so many weird styles in feminine dress
during the last few years, some OF
them 10 more e~xtravagant or un-
comfortable than the cut glass heels
promise to be, that 1t is by no means
their brief and painful season OF
a certainty that they may not enjoy
popularity, If such proves to be the
case, however, it will probably become
necessary to carry about an extra heel
just as the automobilist carries a
spare tire, for the chances OF heel
fracture. and an abrupt end to furth-
er locomotion would seem to be at
least equal to the chance of puncture
which the motorist runs.
While as a general thing banks do
not rejoice at the closing out OF an
account, particularly an old
against which no checks have ever
been drawn, there was a unanimous
sigh of relief and a general feeling
Of t~hankfulness at a nearby savings
institution in New Jersey when an ac-
count of just this sort which had its
beginning forty years ago was with
drawn last week. The officers had
for rejoicing, however. for since
1872 this account has been an ever
increasing sourc of trouble. 1t
amounted exactly to one dime and
was opened in 1872 by a boy of IL who
hoped to make it the nest egg of a
fortune. He never made another de-
post and the matter soon slipped his
mind until recalled by a boyhood
friend a few days ago. But In the
forty years the dime has been placed
to the depositor's account it has 1g-
ured In many balance sheets, and its
worth has been consumed many times
yer in the ink, paper and time given
it by clerks who had to keep track
Of it. In all trial balances that stub
born dime had to be reckoned and
its withdrawal has ended an odd
existence rare in banking annals. AS
no interest is allowed in Jersey saw
ings banks on sums less than 81, the
solitary coin in forty years in the
bank did not increase.

Washington. b, 9. Feb. 12.-Ac-
cording to unofficial information 1t
is estimated that the crisis in Mex
leo is much more serious than was
at first realized. Francisco /. Ma
dero, the new president, seems to be
utterly unable to cope with the situa-
ton. His cabinet members refuse to
take orders and in spite of his state
ment that the country is in a peace
able state. the revolution is proceeding
rapidly.
General Pasquale Orozeo, who fought
side by side with Madero throughout
the Madero revolution, is reported to
have turned against his old comrade
and to be heading a revolution from
the north of Mexico personally, having
made governor of Chihuahua.

New York, Feb. 12.-Basing their es-
Inmates on the unusually cold weather
which visited this city during the
month of January, experts now predict
that Father Knickerbocker's coal bill
for the yea 1919 viii exceed the enor-
nous figure of 500, 600, 900, figured on
the prices paid by consumers, thus ex-
Tceeding even the record breaking fig
ures for 1911. which have just been
compiled. New York has an undis-
puted and unenviabIe right to the
claim that it is the greatest coal con-
Stunning municipality in the world. No
other city at home or abroad has SO
high q consumption of fuel to the
unit of population. If this city's sup
ply of coal for a t~welvemonth were
loaded in fifty ton cars they would
stretch from here to Salt Lake City,
2,452 miles. The amount of coal con
sumed and distributed within the
city bounds last year was almost 49,
600, 900. Dwelling houses, stores, the
atres, halls, public and private insti-
tutions consume 10000, 000 tons a year.
Factories and gas and electric com
panies consume $500, 900 tons a year,
and steamships buy at this port al
most 100000 tons a year. That the
ashes resulting from this enormous
consumption would make a very fair
sized mountain is evidenced by the
fact that in the past ten years they
have been sufficient to fill in twenty
five square miles Of marsh and low
lying lands in this vicinity. At the
prices paid by the consumer New
York's coal bin for last year come to
8 5,000,000. Add to this the money

among big business men here. all of
whom r trying to evolve the answer
from h most involved lot of issues
with which they have been confronted
in many years. Meanwhile, business
apparently is sitting back waiting for
that answer. In the past It has gem
orally beeen the case, according to
local analysis, that such a condition
has been dependent on n main is
sue, such as a supreme court decision,
or a presidential election. The pres
ent situation, however, is infinitely
more complicated. The coming polit-
ical conventions, the election itself, the
tariff, the currency question, the pro-
posal Of the p~ostoffice department to
take over the telegraph lines, the suits
against various large corporations and
the uncertainty as to whether or not
Roosevelt will be a candidate; all these
contribute to a situation which has
business hesitating and guessing. To
a certain extent the proposals OF the
postmaster general may be eliminated
since it is not believed that his rec
concentrations concerning the taking
over the telegraph lines will be a Sc
rious issue for the present. The dis
covery put forward on good authority
that the surplus claimed for this de-
partment is simply the result Of an
Anticipated system Of bookkeeping, N

be charged against the department are
not included, together with the COM
plant of the railroads that his plan

With Fels-Naptha you wash clothes
comfortably, in lukewarm water, without
hard-rubbing, and the clothes are far cleaner
and last longer-Aannels, woolens, colored
goods as well as the white things.
