The ''U's' mostly left on the Monday
morning train to resume their studies at
Grand Forks. After they got on it was
found necessary to attach another engine
to get the train started. 1t may have
been on account of the snow drift or it
may have been because of the many
good feeds they have attended while al
home.

From the Boundary. Line
House at Fort Fairfield.
About $500 Worth Of Liquors
Taken by Collector Burns.
Stored on Maine Side, to Evade
Provincial Excise Officer.

Fort Fairfield, Me-, Sept. 30.-Deputy
sisted by Deputy Collector jerks of
Houlton. made the largest seizure of
liquors ever made in this town on
Tuesday morning. Sept. %. The plans
for bringing about such a result was a
fine piece of strategy that one with less
nerve and experience than Mr.. Burns
would scarcely dare to undertake.
The Boundary Line house, built many
years ago by G. c. Rogers was planned
ard built to evade the liquor laws OF
both New Brunswick and Maine. The
main building is located on the prov
ince side OF the line, but a veranda
projects over on the American side.
Underneath this platform is ii cellar
built expressly for moving contraband
goods as needed.
The place is now run by Mullen &
Knapp and it appears they have been
dispensing the ardent without pro-
vincial license. Recently they had rea-
son to expect visit from the license
commissioner, so they carefully slowed
away their goods in the little American
hiding place.
Deputy Collector Burns, who appears
to sleep with one eye open, was close
ly watching the maneuvraS of mine
hest, and when he found the proper
time had arrived notified Sheriff Cam
eron of Andover, N. b., to be on the
SPOT at the time arranged.
So cleverly was the whole affair plan
ned that the customs deputies just took
ont the liquors without any one to
modest. A heavy pair of horses had
about all they could do to haul the stuff
away. 1t is estimated that the first
cost of the liquors could not have been
less than $500. as among the goods
were costly brandies, wines, cham
payne, etc.
Officer Burns receives and well de-
serves the hearty appreciation of the
public for his truly meritorious work.
1t is to be regretted that New Bruins

tnrance of boundary line liquor store

THE WHEAT "SQUEEZE."
An Eastern Man Said to Have Shown
Chicago Some Things.

Chicago Sept 30-The wheat
Squeeze" which disturbed the ennui
OF speculative routine with accent
advance in the September option on
the Board of Trade here today, lacked
none of the features of former years
when "Old Hutch,'' Cudahy. Partridge
and others were wont to explode bomb
shells under the trade.
1t was the cleanest cut of any corner
in many years The so-called Patten
deal OF last spring was an open secret
long before final delivery, day, but
what happened today came as an utter
surprise.
The trader or traders in control are
said to have held about 10000 600 bush
els. while the scattered short interest
ran between 100000 and 10000. 900 ac-
cordins to the average expert guess
on the subject in the absence of ac-
tual figures.
September was at $1O7 when the
rush of the shorts began, and although
September had held steady the shorts
believed the break would come. Re-
celpts in the Northwest continued to
be heavy and Europe refused to buy, a
situation usually followed by lower
prices. As the final moment of the
trading month drew near and the
break did. not materialize. the true
condition of affairs became anparent.
While several firms are reported to
have profited by the deal, common re-
port credited control of September to
an Eastern man.

we're its chief attraction. Every one
Of the fighting ships contributed its
quota of sailors and marines, and the
tars of England, France, Germany,
Italy, Hollard, Mexico. Argentine,
Hayti and Cuba marched with the jack
les of Uncle Sans navy. TO avoid the
question CT precedence" the several
landing parties from the foreign war
ships led the procession. escorted by
officers and sailors from the Connect
cut. the United States flagship. The
marines and sailors Of the United
States marched just behind them.
The parade Included $4,000 men and
its start was scheduled for early this
afternoon. After the marines and sail
ors came several attachments of the
United States army led by the West
Point Cadets. The United States Ma
tional Guardsmen composed the next
division and the bulk of the parade.
Grand Army posts and various indie
pendent organizations, most famous of
which was the Albany Burgess Corps
made up the rest of the line.
Scenes along the line of march were
repetition of those which marked the
historical pageant last Tuesday. The
parade was reviewed by Governor
Hughes and Mayor Mcclellan and the
officers OF the Celebration Commission,
at the official stand of the court OF
honor on Fifth avenue. between 40th
and 42d streets.
Meanwhile the Half Moon and the
