CHILDs UP A STUMP.
Attorney General WrestIes With a
KnOtty TanGIe.


Another ponderous problem is resting heavy
on the official heart Of the states legal de-
partment. On the broad prairies of the state
there stands a school house. one of the little
red school houses on the hill, to which Sem
ator Thompson, the champion of the rural
education appropriation, referred to so elo-
quently during the last legislative session.
For seven years affairs have gone on in that
school house from term to term without once
having to call for opinion from any legal
mogul in the world. Robust, rosy-cheeked
country damsels have boxed the ears of ris-
ing generations winter after winter, and the
boys have taken turns carrying in the wood
since the little place was built. But lock-
smiths are scarce in E-but why state the
name OF the district, and there is only one
key to the building. The directors of the
school have fallen out about something, and
the one who has the key will not give it up.
The school is desired for educational pur-
poses, and there where the bloomer craze
has not yet reached, and rural shyness rules
there is some reluctance on the part of the
modest young school ma'ams about climbing
in the windows That is why the attorney
general Is called upon to declare whether the
legal custodian OF the school house key is
the director, the clerk, or the treasurer of the
district. Embryo rulers of a generation
hence, mayhap, are running barefoot in ig-
norance. while these belligerent school au-
thorities squabble over the key, and the slum-
bers OF the attorney general had good cause
to be light last night, when after an ex-
haustive search of the state library Yesterday
he and his staff could find no precedent bear
ing on this basic educational principle.

SENIOR GIRLS ANGRY.
Boys Burlesque Ballet Causes n
EIutter.

University circles are sadly torn up over
little incident which happened in connection
with the rehearsals for the senior entertain
ment, which. under the title of "Goribattle-
dor" was presented at the Lyceum theater in
Minneapolis Monday night. One of the feat
ures of the ballet programme was burlesque
ballet participated In by five young men of
the class. 1t happened that two of the patron
esses Of the entertainment, one of them, it is
said, the wife of member of the board of
regents, dropped in to witness the rehearsals.
and were astounded to witness this spectacu-
lar presentation. They hurried to the Office
of President Northrop to protest against the
incorporation Of so vicious and unconventional
feature in the programme by the young
women of the class. "Prexy'' investigated.
and when he found that 1t was Just the
young men who were mixed UP In it. Il
seems that he made no remonstrance. The
story leaked out, however, and now the young

submitted. Instead, the grand jury,
after remaining i'm session about ten
minutes, appeared before Judge Lewis
in the criminal court room, with a re-
quest for further instruction. Asked If
there was any thing to report, Foreman
Burns replied in the negative
Judge Lewis thereupon directed the

Insane Desire Of a Jessamine Stree
Mother,

Mrs. Mary Peller9 living with her husband
and family at 500 Jessamine street, was taken
to the county Jail last evening suffering from
an attack Of insanity. About o'clock the
woman's husband noticed her demeanor to be
unusual and shortly became alarmed at her
threat to kill the three children. Mrs. Peller
secured an ak with which she proposed to
commit the insane deed, but was deprived of
the weapon by neighbors, who had hurried to
the assistance of the husband in his effort
to restrain the woman. Officer Fitzgerald was
called to the house and took the insane mother
to the county jail in the Margaret street patrol

Chicago, Jan. 4.--Wheat was retrogress- i've in it's action today as compared with Saturday. It started the sesion in a prom ising manner, but there were too many "longS'' with wheat for sale and too much adverse news for the strength to continue. On Saturdays bulge the crowd had stocked up moderately well and although the 1iV- erpool cables conveyed firmness the offer 1ngs proved to be of too great volume for the market to hold up. May wheat opened from S519c to S5c, declined to &%c, closing at S3zsGS43sc-1c under Saturday. Cash wheat was easy and 1c lower.
 Corn opened firm and trifie higher, after wards weakening and declining. both &C., tions being in full accord with the course pursued by wheat. Trading was of the slow, unattractive sort and was entirely local in character. May corn opened at 26c declined to and closed at 255sc-I4c under Saturday. Cash corn sold at steady prices, but closed nominally easy.
 The tone of oats was easy, the sentiment being guided by that displayed in the wheat market Little business was transacted and none of any importance was noted. May setady, but closed nominally easy.
 Provisions-The run of hogs at the, yards owing to the recent storm were light and opened under the influence of this fact, but on the hog market gave a decline and pro- duet sympathized with the weakness. May pork closed 12hc lower, and May ribs 21al1 Dc lower.

 Dullness was the principal fea ature of the cotton market today The trading was ex- trenely quiet and mainly of a local char acter. At first prices advanced slightly in response to higher Liverpool cables but in the absence of local support the slight im- provement was lost and prices slowly re- ceded, closing at the lowest figures Of the day Liverpool reacted after the opening the reaction there being due to tho failure of this market to make an adequate re- sponse to the improvement in Liverpool New Orleans sold rather freely here and the recipts at the ports while moderate were larger than had been expected and tired longs lquidated. The southern spot mar kets were firmer in some instances, but the unfavorable advices from Fall River and the financial disturbances at the west check speculation. It is reported that eastern spinners are seeking an outlet on the other side for their surplus stocks, but as yet nothing reliable is known as to the truth of this report.

New York, Jan. 4.-Today's market was sore disappointment to the friends of cot ton. The receipts were quite moderate, yet the market gave way. March opened at 7.0a. and declined to 692 closing at 692a6.9s, with the tone barely steady. Liverpool and New Orleans both sold and prominent dealer took advantage of the dullness to hammer prices. There were few buying or ders aB1 the market yielded easly under the pressure. But unless the receipts should again become heavy the decline, we think, will be only temporary. We would rather buy cotton than sell it.
