Attorney General Expresses
Surprise at Paroling of
Murderers. .....
Minot, N. D., May 3.—Attorney
General William Langer, who was in
Minot Wednesday night after return
ing from the funeral services of his
chief detective. Kersey Gowin, who
was shot Friday night, was inter
viewed at his hotel and gave out the
following statement regarding the
recent work of the state pardon
board:
"Your statement that John Steff
and E. A. McPeek have been permit
ted to return from the penitentiary
to this part of the state, was the first
intimation that I have had that these
men have been paroled. Steflt was
sent up by a jury, while McPeek
pleaded guilty. Both of these cases
were very carefully considered by the
pardon board, consisting of Governor
Lynn J. Frazier, Chief Justice A. A.
Bruce, Peter Roth of New Salem and
Gust Wog of Gaylord, and myself, and
their petition for clemency was
unanimously turned down. The par
don board absolutely refused not only
to pardon these men. but al?« to cut
down or commute their sentences in
any way.
"You can readily imagine niy sur
prise to learn that these men have
been paroled out of the- penitentiary.
The present administration is in no
wise responsible for the present parole
board, or for the paroling of- these
men. Not being familiar with the
the same, but unless there were some
tremendously exceptional circum
stances that have arisen since the
pardon board considered these cases
last June, then their parole is a black
mark upon the way justice is admin-,
istered in this state.
"Immediately upon my return to
Bismarck I will make a searching in
vestigation to flnd out why men of
this kind are permitted to be at large,
and if the Investigation shows that the
parole board paroled these men with
out any additional evidence, I shall
W
m.
recommend in' my report to Governor
Fraaler, either that a man convicted
of murder shall by law not^be per
mitted to be pardohed' or' paroled," or'
else that the parole board be either
abolished or a check placed upon their
powers. The present pardon board
has exercised the utmost* precaution
and have been extremely careful about
.granting anyone a pardon. When a
case is considered by the .pardoning
board the secretary Writes the. jurors,
state's attorney and district judge
who had charge of the case, and their
advice ascertained.
"I doubt the wisdom of having two
boards such as a pardon board and
a parole board, and in my judgment
pardons, should be so few and far
between that 'one board should be
able to handle all the business. Inas
much as a pardon cannot be granted
except by unanimous vote, I can say
definitely to the people of this state
that as long as I am on the. board
there will be no repetition of pardons
being granted to such men as Rem
ington ahd Robertson."

Mrs. B. J. Hart, 301 Almonte Ave., says: "Several
years ago my kidneys became weak. I first noticed it
by a dull pain in th.e small of my back and then my
kidneys didn't act right. 1 really didn't know what to
do for it and it went on until I was in a terrible shape
with rheumatic trouble. My Joints all over my body
became lame and swollen and I was just about able to
hobble'.-about the house. I would suffer dreadfully. No
medicines I took did me any good until I got Doan's
Kidney Pills and a few boxes of them cured that attack.
I have never had such a bad attack since, but when I
have felt rheumatic in the least, I have used Doan's
Kidney Pills because I know I can rely on them."

A. L. Tailor, carpenter, 1108 Dakota Ave:, says: "I

MAY HOLD PART
Twenty-five Per Cent May
be Held for Next'Year's
Seed.
Fargo, N. D., May 3.—North Da
kota farmerti may hold 25 per cent
of their 1917 wheat crop for seed next
year, according to an order just is
sued by Dr. E. F. Ladd, until this
year's crop has been harvested. The
time for disposing of the surplus
wheat has also' been extended to
June 1. The order Issued by Dr.
Ladd reads as follows:
The order of the United States food
administration directing that all sur
plus wheat shall be marketed before
May 15, 1918, is hereby within the
state of North Dakota, modified as
follows:
1. The time for marketing the
surplus wheat is extended from May
15 to June 1, 1918.
2. Farmers, growing winter wheat,
are permitted to hold enough winter
wheat to seed the required acreage of
wheat for the 1919 crop since the
seed of the present season's crop
may not be threshed In time to fur
nish the necessary seed.
3. Holding spring wheat for seed:
On application to the county food
Ad­
ministrator and with the approval of
the federal food administrator of the
state of North Dakota, farmers may
retain of the 1917 crop enough wheat,
as a reserve for 1919, to seed one
fifth of the area or acres they now
have in wheat, on the basis of 11-4
bushels per acre. A man, therefore,
having 100 acres in wheat in 1918
may hold 25 bushels of wheat for
1919 seed. This seed wheat is at all
times to be subject to the order at the
federal food administrator, and Is not
to be held after the 1918 crop is as
sured, on which date wheat held as
seed shall be marketed.
The above concessions have been
granted to North Dakota so as to in
sure a reasonable amount of high
grade seed for those farmers who
have been in the habit of saving seed
until their next crop was assured.
I am certain that with these two
liberal concessions every holder of
wheat will promptly comply with all
the regulations and have their sur
plus wheat marketed by June 1. Give
us your support as we do not want
to be called upon to report a single
instance of wheat hoarding from
North Dakota.

UNIVERSITY AVENUE
M. Newgard, engineer G. N. Ry., 1015 University
Ave., says: "About two years ago I had quite a severe
attack of kidney trouble. It was all started by a cold
settling on my kidneys as this was a weak spot, owing
to the constant jarring an engineer gets. The pain was
so severe in the small of my back, I could hardly get
around and it was hard for me to get on and off my
engine, and mornings, when I got up, my back would
be so stiff and lame, I would only be' able to get out of
bed by crawling out.. My friends told me about Doan's
Kidney Pills and I used four boxes. They cured me and
•I haven't had any such trouble since."
CHEYENNE AVENUE
Mrs.'Geo. Bristol, 1402 Cheyenne Ave., says: "About
Bixteen years ago, I first used Doan's Kidney Pills and
found them fine for pains in my back. My back used
to be very lame and sore and ached day and night.
When I stooped, it often seemed as though I couldn't
straighten up again. I used to have headaches all the
time and I hardly knew what it was to be without one.
I would often have dizzy spells, too. My kidneys acted
irregularly and I was feeling miserable. The first box
of Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me and by the time I
had finished five more, I was cured." (Statement
given Majr?, 1913.)

haven't had any more trouble' from my kidneys since I
last recommended Doan'a Kidney Pills. The cure
Doan's gave me was a lasting one."

Patent Office Decision iiii
Favor of "Vivo" 'IMp
Adecison of far reaching impor-~
tance has just been handed down by
the United States patent office in the
case of Anheuser-Busch Brewing as
sociation vs. Fred Miller Brewing
company.
In February, 1917, Fred Miller
Brewing company of Milwaukee, Wis.
applied to the United States 'paterit
office for registration of its trade mark
"Vivo," for a nonintoxicating cereal
beverage manufactured by it and sold
as a soft drink. The Anheuser-Busch
Brewing association of St. Louis, ,Mo.,
opposed the application on the ground
that the trade mark "Vivo" was an in
terference with their trade mark
"Bevo" used in connection with a
similar beverage. The Fred Miller
Brewing company proved to the satis
faction of the United States patent
office that It had used the said, trade
mark since the- year 1905, while the
Anheuser-Busch Brewing association
did not commence the use of its trade
mark "Bevo" until the year 1908, and
the United States patent office has now
decided that in view of the prior use
by the Fred Miller Brewing company
of its trade mark "Vivo," it is entitled
to the registration of same, and the
opposition of the Anheuser-Busch
Brewing association has been dis
missed.—Advertisement.
