You know some men who look young at fifty or even sixty; they have the 'tair," vigorous, successful, alert looking men.
 Next time you see a man of that type, just notice how much his clothes have to do with giving that impression. You'll find the style, the fit, the quality of his clothes are really more than half of it.
 You'll find, if you inquire, that he buys his clothes at this store, and that's one of the reasons why he looks so well.

Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trile less
than Royal Baking Powder which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power
If a cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can of the cheap bax
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

JOHN BROWN TRIAL NOW
ON IN MANDAK COURT

John Brown, a we'll known farmer
residing about twelve miles south of
Richardton, who was arrested the
middle of last month on the charge of
shooting at his son, Nick, is now on
trial at Mandan before Judge Han
ley. Brown was brought before the
district term of court in Dickinson,
but an affidavit of prejudice was filed
and a change of venue taken to the
district court at Mandan.
The jury was completed on Thurs
day, and Nick Brown, ID years old,
was placed on the witness stand by
the state. He testified that he and
his mother went to New England to
collect note for $134. Payment for
this was made by check. When they
returned to the farm and told Brown
that they had received a check in
stead of cash in payment, he flew into
a rage, it is alleged, and began to
abuse his wife and the boy. The con-
troversy became more and more heat
ed, Nick and his older brother, Frank,
taking their mothers part. This so
enraged Brown that he ran into the
house to get a shotgun, threatening
to kill all three. By this time Mrs.
Brown and the boys became frighten-
ed and started across the field toward
the house Of a ncighbor. Before they
could get away, however, Brown rush
ed out Of the house with the gun and
fired two shots at Nick, the younger
boy. The boy wore a heavy sheep
lined coat, however, and the shot did
not pass through.
Mrs. Brown and the boys ran on
to a neighbor's home, and a warrant
was later issued for Browns arrest.
The young boys testimony has
brought out that Brown was often
abusive to his family, and upon sew
eral occasions threatened to kill them
all.
The testimony of Nick was COM
pleted this forenoon (Friday) and it
is expected that Frank, II years of
age, will be placed on the stand by
the state this afternoon. Besides the
family, the following witnesses will
also be called by the state: Fred
Bolte, Ernest Piulan and E. L. Len:
hardt, near neighbors of Brown, and
Sheriff Brown, Deputy Sheriff Weile,
and Clerk of Court Val. Koch. The
Press has been informed that George
Hass and Lampel Brothers will ap.
pear in behalf Of the defendant.
States Attorney Burgeson, assisted
by w. F. Burnett, are handling the
prosecution, while Attorneys Murths
& Sturgeon of Dickinson and Attorne!
Sullivan of Mandan represent the de
fendant, Brown.
It is expected that it will be late OF
Saturday before the case goes to th'
jury for final decision.
