"The Wrong Mr.. Wright"


Those who can give us good laugh
in these somewhat cynical and cal
lous days deserve we'll of their fellow
creatures. The gift of being miserable

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.

The following market letter is fur
nished by Edwards, Wood q Company,
Commission merchants, ITO Chamber
Of Commerce, Minneapolis, 80 Board
of trade, Duluth. !,
The wheat market remains quiet but
is firm, the Minneapolis market being
stronger than any other market es-
pecially for the July option. The dull
ness is caused by the general uncer-
tainty as to the future course of
prices. During the last ten days a
good many traders have become bear
ish and it is believed that consider
able short interest has been created.
There are two sides to the market as
usual. The situation in Argentina as
it is now represented is quite bearish,
but on the other hand the world
available stocks are low aud declin-
ing. the decline amounting last week
to 8, 400, 900 bushels. The Paris mar
ket is very strong and has advanced
from115 to 215 cents per bushea during
the last three days. Liverpool Is
steady to strong. Worlds shipment
are running about 1000, 600 bushels
per week less than Europe's weekly
requirements. The situation In the
United States is unchanged. The
condition of winter wheat is gooo
and recent light falls of, snow make
1t more secure. The demand for doul
is quiet just now and some of the
| mills are shut down. but the prospects
for business later on are said to bt
good. Western primary receipts ART
lair. Bids from the seaboard for Chi
cago wheat are good but cannot be &C
cepted on account of the difficulty IL
securing cars. OLD transportation
contracts will expire tomorrow afte!
which. it is likely to be easier to ge
cars. There is a noticeable tendenc.
to advance the price of the deferred
| futures so as to create carrying
charges which has returned to norma
conditions, the year 1902 having
been an exception in that respect
We are still of the opinion that thu
scarcity of good milling wheat will
be severely felt before another crop i
grown and that this will be refecte'
In prices We therefore favor purchase
Of May wheat at the present price.

While The Free Press advocated the
nomination of Mr.. Johnson, it proposes
to accept the selection of DR.. Babcock

will carry out to the letter the pledges
he made to the caucus that his course
will be along such lines as will con-

SHIFTLESS AND WORTHLESS
HUSBANDS.

Zone of the most despicable of crimes
is that of wife desertion and non-sup-
port. Lawmakers in Minnesota have
made the practice of husbands desert
Ing wives punishable by imprisonment
in the states penitentiary, and it has
in many counties had the effect of
putting a stop TO that sort of thing.
In Blue Earth county during the past
two years there have been few wife
deserGions and where arrests have fol-
lowed the wife generally came to the
front and pleaded effectively for her
recreant husbands release, he having
promised to be good in the future.
In many counties in the state, and it
is the experience in other states also,
the large majority of people who ap-
ply for public charity, are deserted
wives with families on their hands.
In other cases the husband has not
deserted, bat ne spends about all his
earnings for drink-thus forcing his
wife and children to seek aid from
the county or from those societies or
ganized for the express purpose OF car
ing for people who are in need. In
assisting the needy wife and children
they are also feeding the shiftless hus
band. Too many husbands of that sort
are given help. 1t does seem thai
there should be some means inaugu
rated to reach these worthless ano
shiftIess fellows who prey upon thu
public through the unfortunate condi
ton Of their families

For December 1901, the total enroll
ment was 1, 1914 and the average attend
anee 1, 377. The increase in the high
school building this year is thirty
eight, in the Pleasant Grove one, in
the Union eight, in the Franklin
nine, and there is decrease of eleven
in West Mankato
A request from Miss Pitcher for $25
to buy music for the nigh school was
granted. This will include music for
the graduating exercises.
Superintendent Cline stated that
spelling in the high school is not
what it ought to be. The graduates
ought to be good spoilers. He saw no
way to bring this about except by in
PRODUCING spelling in the high school.
Several high schools of the state have
gotten good results in. this way. He
would suggest having five minute
exercise in written spelling each day.
A spelling contest has been arranged
with Lake Crystal and the scholars
are a little fearful as to the result.
He suggested that the board adopt
State High School Inspector Geo. B.
Atoms speller, which is being used a
good deal.
Mr.. Fletcher was in favor of oral
spelling, and thought that contests
between schools was good thing.
President Davis thought that the
best results come from both oral and
written spelling. Mr.. Comstock CO.
incided with this.
On motion of Mr.. Comstock, the
course Of study for the high school
was amended to include spelling.
The selection of text book was left
with the committee on schools and
text books with power to act.
The matter of more comfortably
heating the manual training room in
the high school building was left with
the committee on property and ex-
pense with power to act.
The bills were allowed including
$75 for thirty fire extinguishers to be
hung in the different buildings, and
The board adjourned.
