GET ROOTS READY
GU Students Hold a Wildly Sue
cessful Mass Meeting After
Chapel.
Joe Jefferson Gives the Students a
Talk Prexy Warns the
Boys.

Z {. Z. + =
University students "massed" as
never before at the mass meeting In
chapel this morning. The medics and
laws suspended recitations and took
part. Sometime before President
Northrop called the meeting to order,
the hall resounded with the varsity
yell and any doubt as to the lack of
enthusiasm was speedily dispelled.
President Northrop devoted most Of
his speech to a consideration of the
conduct OF the students after the big
football games. He admonished them
to hold themselves in check and not
let their enthusiasm run rampant. He
after the game and would not attempt
70 prevent a "zig-zag" or parade on
the down town streets, as he thought
that could be done in an orderly man
ner. AS long as the students held
themselves within reasonable bounds
and did not damage property he would
allow them to celebrate. o.
Dean Downey told of the way In
which football was played in England.
While at. Edinburgh he saw fourteen
teams practicing on one field. From
| these teams the varsity team was
chosen. s+t..-
I After speeches by Professor West
brook and President Durand, Of the
board OF athletic control, Joseph JEFF
ferson, the venerable actor, was intro
lduced. He protested to know nothing
about football but was glad to address
such a great body Of students and for
nearly ten minutes he amused the as
semblage with stories and anecdotes.
President Layne of the rooters' club
announced that sections in the grand
stand had been reserved for the girls
and the boys rooters' clubs and that
the hats and tam-o-shanters for the
two clubs would be ready this after
noon. The varsity band led the sing
ing for the football songs which will
be tried tomorrow,

DECEMBER SELLS y.
The Conditions in Wheat Countries
Cause Hesitation in the
Local Market.

Wheat traders were in great doubt
this morning as to what to expect in
the next turn in the market, and while
the tendency was stronger, and prices
higher, much hesitation was shown.
December, opening at 1870 was up to
S09c and May sold up from 1910 at
the opening to soc.
Wintry temperatures were shown in
some parts Of the northwest with no
rain worth noting over spring wheat
territory. Liverpool was unchanged
at the start, which made it look as
tho the reports Of frost damage in
Argentine received yesterday might
have been exaggerated. India ship
ments were 1,493,000 bushels against
$4,000 bushels last year and few
other bearish items were found in the
foreign news.
Locally the situation was strong as
ever. Cash wheat was in good de-
mand and there were only 296 cars in
against sos last year. Duluth had
397 cars against 2S8 and Chicago 104
against 1O5. Later, cable advices via
London reported good weather in Ar
gentine.

SALES NOT LISTED
Grain Receivers Are Dissatisfied
With Present Methods of
Reporting Deals.

Meeting to Discuss Change Is Held
at the Chamber of IA
- Commerce.

A meeting Of Importance to all
grain men is being held in the direc-
tors rooms of the Minneapolis Cham
Der of Commerce this afternoon. The
meeting was called by G.. D. Rogers,
secretary of the chamber upon re-
quest of a number Of grain receivers
who are dissatisfied with the present
system of reporting sales and are de-
sirous of bringing about a change.
At present it is optional with sell
ers to report sales or not, and it is
claimed that many sales are not re-
ported until very late and do not get
into the newspapers, thus making it
difficult to ascertain the exact price
range and also failingfto give the pub
JIG correct idea Of the large cash
business done in Minneapolis. II,
Annual Report of G. of @.
The annual report Of the president
Of the chamber shows that receipts OF
wheat during the past year increased
by 4,519,000 bushels, oats increased
100000 bushels, barley almost
100000 bushel and fax 100000
busheI. Altogether the receipts dur
ing what is known as the crop year
were 100000 bushels in excess OF
receipts in the corresponding crop

FIRE DEPT CHARGES
Grand Jurors Receive Letters Charg.
ing That Firemen Had
to Pay.
An Election Fund for the Chief
Said to Have Been
Used.

If the grand jury follows the lead
given them in written communities
tons, the methods used in securing the
election Of IRE chief by the last coun-
Gil will be investigated. If the con-
tents Of these communications can be
proved to be true, for
bribery in this connection will be res
turned.
Letters have been sent to the present
grand Jurors purporting to be from
several members Of the fire depart
ment who do not wish their names
mentioned, but suggest that f1remen be
! called at random to substantiate the
story told. They charge that before
the last selection of fire chief, mem
bers of the department were called
upon to donate sums Of money varying
from $40 up to make an election fund
for the head of the department.. One
Of the writer's stated that he had paid
ers claim to have donated various
| amounts for the good of the cause. j
Another matter which the jurors
have been asked to look into Is the
health department practices in re-
gard to the inspection Of private rest
been received stating that these in
spections, which are supposed to be
made without charge, have been
charged for. These and other mat
| tiers OF investigation have been con-
sidered by the jury, but as yet no ac-
tive steps have been taken toward
| thoroly investigating them. If the
time is not sufficient to allow this
| investigation by the present jury it
will be handed oyer to the new jury
which will convene Nov. 2. " 49,.
