cises, but he wanted il understood that
he had not told Mr. Howard that Super
sntendent Dyer had used any underhand
ed business If Mr. Howard had got that
he had obtained IT from some other
source.
Mr.. Howard then arose and begged Mr.
Dyer's pardon for using the word under
handed saying that ne did not wish %
convey that impression. At this time
there was an under-current of strong
feeling existing.
Mr.. Bird, for the class, got up and for
q few minutes told the board that they
had weighed the matter and that they
were of the opinion that in a three min
ute grafton they could not do themselves
justice. He proposed that they get a
noted lecturer and have some music in
stead of the orations. Continuing, he
said that out of a class Of thirty mine.
7hirty-seven had signed the petition.
Miss Campbell told the board in a clear
distinct voice that they had thought they
could get Rev. Don 5. Colt to come here
and deliver a lecture and that he would
til the auditorium. She said that there
was s25 in the school treasury which the
musical chorus of the High school had
won, and as they were going to Hutchin-
son again and there were only two 10
compete she felt sure that the High
school chorus would win. That was her
way for raising the fund. She also said
that the scholars did not favor charging
their friends 10 come and hear them
crate.
Mr.. Stouterneyer took the floor for a
few minutes sustaining the other speak
ers.
Mr.. Dyer was called upon 10 speak. He
said that ne accepted Mr. Howards apol-
ogy, but in all Kindness and charity he
desired him to acquaint himself with
facts before making such statements.
again. Dropping that disagreeable fea-
ture, he said that in his experience of
twelve years he thought the present
mode was by far the best and in fact,
the only satisfactory way TO have com
mencement exercises. He thought it was
a wrong precedent to establish to have
the class dictate. 1t was detrimental to
the school.
Mr.. Hatton favored trying il as an ex-
pertinent, and if 1t proved a failure it
could be discontinued. He moved that
the petition Of the class be granted.
Easton seconded the motion.
Mr. Sim here raised the question. He
thought that it ought to be referred to
the committee on High school.
Mr.. Rutan asked that it be deferred
until the January meeting. Mr.. Sim put
his question as an amendment to Hat
TONS motion.
Vote on the amendment resulted as
follows. No-Gehring, Howard, Hatton
Tucker, Ea5tOn and Hess Yeas-Sim,
Anawalt, Rutan, Dunn and Higginson.
The amendment was lost by vote Of six
TO five.
The motion was then voted for and lost
The members voted as follows: Yeas
Gehring, Howard, Hatton, Easton and
Hess No-Sim, Anawalt, Rutan, Tuck

Considerable talk was then INDUCED in
and Mr.. Sim moved that the board return
TO their own room, which was done. He
then put a motion that the matter Of
commencement be referred to Superin-
tendent Dyer. 1t received a second and
passed.
On motion, the board then adjourned.

LargeIY Attended


Largely Attended
Yesterday was "History'' day for the
city teachers A comprehensive and in
structive study of "The Constitutional
Period Of the United States History" was
taken up, beginning with the origin and
growth OF the representative idea in gov
ernmenr, the direct causes of the migra-
= tfon of America, down to the time when
1t was evident that a more perfect
union was needed. and the choice lay
between an amended confederacy and
the new constitution.
The devotional exercises were followed
by roll call, each second grade teacher
responding with quotation appropriate
TO the days topic. The motto on the pro-
gram read History is but the unrolled
scroll of prophecy" Music was conducted
by Miss Clark
Miss Cleveland OF the High school was
the first speaker of the morning, her sub
Ject being 'The Origin and Growth of
the Representative Idea in Government"
She reviewed the early history OF the
greutonic ancestors, the long struggle
with the Celts and later events showing
the development Of the representative
idea among the Anglo-Saxon people. The
mouse Of commons was spoken of as the
product of the representative idea i'm
oedded in the organization of the an
clent shires and towns. The same idea
which, brought over the sea. formed the
foundation Of our constitution.
Mns. Horton also discussed this sub
ject She made special mention Of the
referendum as tending to relieve part;-
san principles and necessarily make
more fully known the wishes Of the peo-
pie.
Religious Conflicts Before the Seven

PROCEEDINGS IN THE SENATE
Only the Usual outline aud the Reading OF
the President's Messag


Washington, Dec. s.-The attendance
upon the session OF the senate today both
on the floor and in the galleries, was not
ably large, despite the well understood
fact that little business beyond the pres
entation of the presidents message and
the proceedings incident thereto would
be transacted.
Prior to the convening OF the senate,
the members passed half an hour in ex-
changing greetings. Mr.. Hanna OF Ohio,
who has been III for a week. was given
a cordial reception by his Republican
colleagues. Mr.. Wolcott of Colorado. one
of the members OF the International mon
etary commission, was also given a warm
greeting. Dr. ". Godfrey Hunter, OF
Kentucky. the recently appointed min
lister 70 Guatemala, was an interested

NEW YORK, Jan. H.-Dullness and de-

market and some sensational movements were
noted in the unusually inactive specialties.
News of the day worked in favor of the
bears, but there was little or no evidence of
liquidation in the leading shares. Expectations
of a favorable sentimental effect on the re-
duction in the minimum rate of discount Of
the Bank of England to 31a per cent were
not realized, owing to an unlooked-fOr fur

depress the market included reports of sus-
pensions in the Northwest and suggestions
affecting the financial credit of the Hooking
Valley and Long Island Railroad COM
panies. Covering Of shorts impaired stead
mess to the market at intervals, but the main
trend of prices was downward, the selling
pressure being most pronounced in the late
dealings. The speculation presented but lit
tie feature outside Of some Of the usually in
active specialties. Hooking Valley dropped
83s per cent to S12, with a subsequent re
covery of per cent, and the preferred

declined 4 and the skies "a per cent. Long

property in the interest of the syndicate which

In the cases of both properties, the catching

late selling movement, and the general mar

Railroad bonds ruled generally firm on

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN,

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 21.-Weakness was the
feature OF the wheat market from the start
today. The trading was light and mostly
local, with the course of values governed
by the Chicago market. There were SPAS
modic seasons of activity in which prices
would tutter up and down in a few min
utes, but confined within narrow limits
after the first decline. Markets abroad were
disappointing. Liverpool cables were lower
at the opening and still lower at the close
with but little signs of activity either in
cash or futures. The July future closed
at I'd lower per GENITAL; all futures at Id
decline for the day. The news of the dav
was generally little more bearish than
for some time past. New York advised of
no foreign demand. Kansas reports an adj
vance in condition Of winter wheat crop
throughout the central portion of that state
and thaI farmers viii market their surplus
as soon as the roads are good enough to
haul the stuff to market. The Price Current
says that the general condition of the cron
IS IN excellent condition. Chicago advised
that st. Louis houses were large BUYERS

board today. None of the Duluth traders
seem to have been caught to any great ex-

wheat not taken into the house probably
cannot be held.

a great many pleasant acquaintance among
the strange people of that section. Nothing
of an exciting nature occurred until the
earlier part of October, when one of the men
of whom l had seen a good deal was arrested
on the charge of selling bottles Of moonshine
whisky at fair, says Detroit Free Press
writer.
There seemed no chance for clearing him,
but a bright young lawyer undertook his
defense and handled it like a veteran. The
case on the part of the government was made.
bottle of whisky that the accused had sold
was offered in evidence and dozen witnesses
swore that they had seen him disposing of
like bottles.
The prisoner was not placed upon the
stand and no one was called to testify in
his behalf. l grew Indignant at this appar-
ent betrayal Of his cause and ventured to
at least make a showing. But he knew his
business. Soemnly addressing the court he
said:
your honor, there has not been one word
Of proof offered, aside from unsubstantial
statements, that the flask here in evidence
contains whisky, or that there was whisky
in any of the bottles my client is said to have
disposed Of"
THE jury can take it with them and de-
termine for themselves" CURLY interrupted
the judge.
lndI Is entlTely satisfactory, your nonor.
Though sent in time and again, the jury
found it impossible to agree. and was finally
dismissed.
What was the matter?' l ventured to ask
of the foreman after it was all over.
Wall, stranger, you noticed that pint bot
tie we took NJ"
Yes; you were to find out what it con-
tained.''

The story got out and the case was never
