hundred freight cars, and it is
thought that more win follow.
The Omaha is preparing an estimate

soon be made by that road. All other
companies are preparing to increase
their equipment as soon as possible,
and reports from the eastern manu-

activity In railroad circles.
1t is said that the success the st.

The same schedule is in force on other

Colonel Won Hatrott urged the gov

statement caused a stir in the house
of deputies where the minister of war

to meet such an emergency If 1t comes.

ANOTHER TAG /.
DAY FOR FARGO
cRITTENToN HOME CIRCLE DE-
cIDEs TO RAISE FUNDS BY TAG
DAY METHOD ON SEPT. 4-LAsT
YEAR $1,000 WAS RAISED IN
THIS WAY.

Fargo is to have another Tag day.
Miss Topping, superintendent of the
Florence Crittenton home on Thir-
teenth street south, announced today
that the Crittenton Home circle had
fully decided on this plan to raise
funds for the home. They have de-
cided to hold Tag day on Sept. 4,
which falls on Saturday.
Last year they were very success
full in raising funds in this way, a
sum approximating $1,000 beinE se-
cured. The funds will be used for
maintenance and also to increase the
facilities of the home.
The, is a great need for the W rk
which the Crittenton home is doing In,
Fargo. The home is crowded all 1hel
time and the present acccmmoda tions
have been outgrown. Several of tha
inmates have been forced to sic p out
OF doors on a screened porch ali su:n.
mer and before cool weather scts In
another accommodation will have to
be II divided. Hence tnc Tag day.
1t Is probable that the same meth
DDS which were so successful last year
will be followed again. The city will
be divided into districts and certain
ladies will be designed to each district
1t will be their duty to see that not
one man escapes. Before nightfaIl on
Sept. every man in Fargo must wear
a tag, showing he has contributed to
the cause.

arraigned before Justice Wade this
morning, was also complained against
by Reuben Grinoldby of Peterson a.

dant was too intoxicated to remember
anything about the occurrence and was
surprised to find himself in Jail this

saloon firm is unfortunate as the
window was not insured. The matter

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Wheat Gossip.

Chicago. Aug. 3.---Wheat: Liverpool
opened h@ssc lower In sympathy
with our weakness yesterday, but ral-
lied at midday on short covering on
decrease in European visible, i. $4,000
bushels and reduced on in Liverpool
stocks Of 100000 bushels for the week,
closing 1sc higher on September and
&c lower for more distant futures.
Market opened firm at A@hc adj
vance with buying chiefly by local
operators who were short over night
and were surprised at flrmness in the
cables. Selling around $1.04 on large
scale by prominent local elevator in
terest, started decline and dislodged
considerable long wheat on the way
down, good many stop loss limits in
the hands of commission houses, being
reached.
Some further rust stories were at
hand but had no influence whatever
ais the northwestern markets led in
weakness. Any damage done in that
section so far mas resulted more from
hall storms than rust. The demand
for cash wheat was good with a mod
crate amount of for export. South
western markets report cash wheat
rather heavy in tone with price one
to one and half lower. The market
has had decline of over cents per
bushels since Friday last and some re-
action may be in order.

AGRICULTURE IN
The SCHOOL ROOM
SPLENDID LECTURE DELIVERED
LAST EVENING BY r. w. HOWE,
THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERT
FROM WASHINGTON. AT THE
A. c. .-s.

'The most valid criticism ever made
upon our present school system is that
It's courses OF study have in general
been determined in the interest OF the
2 per cent which statistics show COM
pIete a college course rather than in
the interest OF the es per cent who
never take such a course"
This was one of the statements made
last night by +. w. Howe I'm his splen-
did practical address before the mem.
bers of the Industrial school and Cass
county teachers training school at
the A. c.
Mr.. Howe's subject was Agriculture
In the Schools and he certainly gave
comprehensive idea not only OF the
needs of agriculture in the school bur
of the great good which win result
from such study.
He told of the beginning Of the art
OF agriculture. Few men learned to
till the soil only through centuries OF
trial and how until very recently II
was regarded the work only of the
dullard.
This was the first of Mr.. Howe's
lectures and it was probably the most
important which he win deliver at the
A. C.
He outlined some of the things that
should be avoided and told many prac-
teal ways of making the study in
teresting and truly educational.
"A subject does not have to ba
taught exhaustively, or exhaustinRly.
In order to be taught thoroughly" said
Mr.. Howe "The child does not have
to be told all you know in the length
and breadth and depth OF your wis
dom in order to be properly educat-
ed child. Thoroughness and sound
ness OF teaching is entirely consistent
with the omission OF many subjects
or parts Of subjects that are not adap-
ted to the child's present stage Of pro-
gress. And 80 we can teach the sirnp-
Ter aspects Of agriculture, thoroughly.
but not exhaustively, whenever ii can

IMPERSONATED
A N. D. OFFICER
GEORGE RoWLEY ARRESTED IN
A SALOON THIS MORNING,
CLAIMS HE Is DEPUTY SHERIFF
or MORTON COUNTY - HAD A
, MINISTER'S cHEcKRook.

Charles Rowley, drunk and acting
suspiciously in saloon this morning
was arrested by Officers Erickson and
Elstad and taken to Headquarters.
Rowley, in a rambling sort of way,
told Chief Malvey that he was depu-
ty sheriff from Mandan and was look
ing for two men who were badly want
ed In Morton county. His statement
was not believed and when asked to
give the name OF the sheriff OF Morton
county he gave the name of the official
who went out of Office last January
and his replies to other questions as
to Morton county disclosed the fellow
to be an imposter.
When searched his pockets were
found to contain several things which
pointed to all round crookedness.
Among his belongings was found a
checkbook from a national bank in
Fargo and the stubbs showed that 1t
belonged to a citizen of Fargo and
one stub of recently drawn check
served as clue to establish the own
ershtp of the book who was the Rev.
c. A. MacNamara. Mr.. MacNamara
left the book in the car seat which he
occupied last night on l1is way homo
from Sheldon--he had been using the
book, laid 1t down on the seat and for
got it. Evidently Rowley was on the
same train. The book will be returned
to the owner.
Later today Chief Malvey has dis
covered that Rowley had used some of
the blank checks and knows of one
which Rowley had filled up, but in
such an illiIerate manner that no one
would honor 1t. 1t has also been dis
closed that the prisoner has been try
ing to sell gun and offered 1t to Toby
Edwards for SIS. The prisoner is being
held as there are indications that he
has an acrnrnr.lica

GRAIN BY WATER
FROM The DAKOTAS

Minneapolis. Aug. 3.-Government
survey OF the Minnesota river. from
Fort Smelling to Big Stone lake. will
begin this week and in early winter
Minneapolis business men viii know
whether commercial waterway be-
tween the Dakotas and the twin cities.
is a possibility. Preliminary work has
already been done near Shakopee, and
the regular survey will be made as
rapidly as possible.
The beginning of the work marks
the end of long fight by representa-
tive men OF the northwest who were
repulsed at every turn in their efforts
to get the survey, Certain members
of the army engineering board refused
even to countenance a survey, assert
ing the commerce the river could carry
would not pay for the dredging.
Survey Begins at Mankato.
The work will be In charge Of Major
Francis r. Skunk, St Paul, in charge
Of the government engineering de-
partment for the district.
AS there are few navigation prob
Iems between the mouth of the river
and Mankota the survey will begin at
that point and continue to Big stone
lake. One bad place in the river, near
Savage, and others between Shakopee
and Mankato, can be dredged without
trouble.
Work will end at Big Stone lake
and will not continue to Lake Tray-
erse the head water Of the Red River
OF the North, four miles above.
Would Benefit Farmers.
For half century the fondest hope
of many business men has been that
they might see grain barges running
between Minneapolis and the Dakota
praAries.
IN addition to the shipping phase
the enlarged channel would be or great
benefit to the Minnesota farms on the
bottoms. These farms, are inundated
and resulting conditions have
formed the most marassing problems
with which the state drainage board
has dealt. The construction Of reser
vofrs would so hand In hand with the
deepening and widening Of the chan
mel and the volume OF the stream
would be uniform the year round.
