RroomhaII's Report.

Liverpool, Dec. 9--The wheat mar
ket opened with an easier undertone,
although prices were u to u lower.
Pressure was the result of the lower
American cables yesterday, and larger
pla1c offerings, and a general poorer
inquiry. Later there was some furth-
er pressure in march which month
showed an additional decline of u.
Manitoba offerings were larger and
spot markets easy with Manitoba
grade a penny lower, and Rosie 12
lower. Just before midday there was
some little covering by shorts and
prices steadied slightly. This was at
tributed to continued rains in France
and less favorable weather in Argen-
tine. At this time the market was
dull and "a lower than yesterday.
The corn market was practically
unchanged and neglected. There was
a holiday in the Buenos Ayres mar
kets yesterday. Our agent cabled late
yesterday that reports were being re-
ceived at Buenos Ayres that hot winds
in that section were veering north

fine ADDRESS
ON EDUCATION
DEAN WILCOX OF IOWA STATE
UNIVERSITY GAVE FARGO col.
LEGE STUDENTS INTERESTING
TALK THIS MoRNING-soME OF
THE BIG PROBLEMS.

Dean Wilcox of the Iowa state uni
versity gave splendid talk this
morning at Fargo college Mr.. Wilcox
was for several years the head of the
history department at Iowa and is now
dean of the university. His talk was
along educational lines and many Inn
portant college and university prob
lens were discussed. Mr.. Wilcox en-
livened his talk with several good
stories.
During the first decade of this CEN
tury more fundamental questions os
education have arisen for discussion
than in any other period of equal time.
Dean Wilcox asserted. In his opinion,
this decade will be marked in history
as one of criticism and discussion
along educational lines.
Dean Wilcox divided colleges into
three classes: State institutions. en-
dowed colleges, and UNCONVENTIONAL
institutions. He said the first two
kinds had come TO stay, but asked
what was to become of the denomi
national colleges all over the country.
Mr.. Wilcox then prophesied that
within the next twenty years they viii
nave JoiAeu the group Oh endowed IN
situations, This, he said, was one of
the great educational problems of to-
day.
Another big problem Is co-educa-
ton, continued Mr. Wilcox "Co-edu-
cation" he said. rs product of the
western college TIE state institutions
have beer edutaDonal from the start"
He then stated that within the next
ten years we ale going TO see a tre-
mendous discussion of tbs problem OF
CO. education.
The third problem which Dean Will
cox discussed was the type of educa-
ton. He asked the question, What
is an education?" Then in a few well
chosen words he explained that it was
the development OF the human soul
and spirit. In conclusion Dean Will
cox said: THE tendency of modern
is in that direction, and
hail it With joy"
The college quartetre, composed of
Miss Steele, Miss Beckman Mr.. Tall
oott and Mr. Walker. rendered an ex-
cellent selection. This was their first
appearance and they were certainly
appreciated by the way the students
applauded.

TROUBLE AHEAD
FOR CROOKSTON?
SALOON KEEPER or THAT CITY
SAID TO HAVE SOLD LIQUOR
TO AN INDlAN-MAY BRING
FEDERAL AGENTS DOWN ON
THAT CITY.

According to yesterdays Crookston
Times there is serious trouble ahead
for one Of the saloonkeepers of that
city who is alleged to have been VIC
lating an agreement, the tenor OF
which was to do all that was possible
to prevent liquors reaching the red
men, through dealers in Crookston.
Paul Belcourt of White Earth, OF
Indian blood, is in the city jail al
Crookston. A suit case containing
four quarts of alcohol and one quart
of whiskey, which he had in his pos
session when taken into custody by
Captain Eek as he was boarding the
east-bound train Wednesday evening,
is also in the city hall, locked UP in
Chief Creamer's strong box.
Belcourt says he purchased the Ii
quor at what was formerly Fred Bros
seau & Co.'s place, and which is now
in charge of John NORM.
The federal authorities have been
communicated with and what the de-
velopments will be cannot be foretold
at this time.
Belcourt, who is we'll known, having
played ball with the Thief River team
in Crookston the past summer, and at
other times, states that he bought the
whiskey for dance that was to be
given at Pete Peterson's place four
miles sonth Of Ulen, Clay county, this
evening. Peterson and some Nor
wegian neighbors were to take up
collection and pay for their share of
it.
A few days ago the mayor of Crook
ston called a meeting of the twenty
two liquor dealers in the city together
and stated to them that he intended
aiding the federal authorities in pre-
venting shipments of liquor to In
dams. AT that meeting the dealers,
seventeen out of twenty-five being
present, agreed without exception, to
refuse to sell any liquor in bottles or
jugs This it was believed, was the
only way to keep on the safe side. The
dealers agreed to this. The agree
ment was violated when Belcourt was
sold liquor yesterday morning, carry
ing it away in his overcoat pocket and
later packing it in his suitcase. The
only reason he did not get more was
that he only had So to spend
outside his car fare. Belcourt was go
ing to Erskine on the Great Northern
last night, and take the 500 from
there to Ulen.

CONDUCT OF JURIEs.

New York Tribune: The United
States supreme court follows or con-
firms the recent judgment of court
III this city concerning the conduct
OF Jurors during trial. 1t holds in
effect thst it is not indispens BILE TO
the ends OF justice that they shall be
Theoretically immuIed and deprived OF
Intercourse with their fellows and of
knowledge of the general progress of
the world. The special point deter
mined by the court was that it was not
necessary fos the jury to be removed
and excluded from the courtroom dur
ing the making of arguments concern
ing the admissibility of certain testi-
Douy. But If they are permitted to
hear that it may we'll be contended
that they are privileged to hear any
thing
These advanced and liberal views
concerning the conduct and treatment
of jurors will widely appeal TO the
PRACTICAL common sense of the people
and OF the legal profession, and their
adoption in court practice will go far
toward removing what has become a
serious and increasing reproach to the
jury system. There has been by far
too great an inclination TO exclude
from the jury duty as unfit all men
who read the papers and talk about
salient topics or the days news and
have sufficient mental activity and as
sertion 10 think about what they have
read, and to commit the Issues of trial.
especially when life and death are
involved, to only those who are ignor-
ant of or Indifferent to the things which
concern their fellow men, and also.
after dozen such mental blanks have
been discovered and placed in the box.
to treat them substantially as felons,
or at least as men suspected of pur-
posed felony.
1t surely does seem more rational to
hold. as jurists are now and more
coming to do, that men who are not
Informed of and interested in current
events are not the best fitted to Judge
the merits OF those events, and that
men who are not to be trusted to be
honest when they are unrestrained
give no certain assurance of impec-
cable integrity when they are in con-
finement Justice Holmes adds the
pertinent and pregnant suggestion
that jurors who are fit to serve ought
to be able to do what a Judge does,
at least in keeping their minds free
from prejudice. The Judge hears the
arguments concerning disputed testi-
mony, he reads the papers, and he
mingles and conyerses freely with his
fellow men. The jurors ought to be
able to do the same and yet to weigh
the testimony impartiaIly and to give
an honest verdict. And it Is to be
believed that verdicts thus secured
would generally command more respect
and confidence than many which are
now given

selections.
Those who read fourth year papers

are Mildred HiIdreth, Eva shea.
Ralph Croal. and Pauline Blake.
Miss Hildreth read a paper on the
life OF Bunyan. Her essay was per-
feet. Her choice of words. construc-
tion and variety or sentences held the
atte4.tion of the hearers constantly.
she delivered the essay In a very
pleasing manner.
Miss Shea's paper was also on the
life OF Bunyan. Miss Shea had very
fine paper. which was rendered per-
fectly.
Ralph Croal gave an essay on the
life OF Dryden, and a better paper
could not be asked for.
The reading this morning by Miss
Blake on the life, works and charac-
teristlcs of Addison and Steele, proved
to be very interesting account Of
the lives and works OF these two writ
ers. She made clear the relationship
which existed between these two men
in the writing of their works.
The senior girls have decided to
abandon the idea Of playing basketball
as they would not be allowed to play
any games this winter. The girls from
the other classes are still playing.
however, but no games viii be PLAYED
A number of the young men of the
high school appeared in the assembly
hall this morning without coats, wear
ing flannel shirts and sweaters, tr,ou
sers rolled UP to the knees and stock
ings OF different lengths and colors.
They were soon given the directions
to the dressing room with orders ID
appear as gentlemen on return.

Words Of Warn.nc,

Crookston Times: Saloon men who
burn their fingers by selling liquor
which finds its way to the Indian res
ervation. will not find the general pub
lie making any new speed records rum
ming to put on a poultice. The liquor
dealers all know the situation and If
they choose to take chances on dancing
on red hot stove they are entitled
to no consideration if they get their
soles scorched. Enough has been said
on the subject to fix 1t in the mind
of any reasonable person that there is
but one course to pursue at the pres
ent time, ard that is, to take no
chances. The sale of bottled goods, or
jugs, is dangerous business. and in
Crookston it is actually crooked BUSH
ness. They have agreed not to. Let
them stick to the agreement. and not
try and sneak little business on the
side for which their fellow dealers may
suffer also.

FARMERS HOME BLAZE
Well known Hotel Badly singec This
Mornina-5usiness Suspendee
Pending Extensive Repairs.

The popular hosiery, known as the
Farmers Home was badly damaged
this morning by fire and to such an
extent that business will have 10 be
suspended pending the complet;pr f.f
the repairs which viii have to be
made.
The building and plant was owned
by c, FL, Knapp but operated by a
tenant, Fred Ronow, The building
was insured for $500 and the furni-
ture and fixtures for $500. It is ex-
pecte6 that the loss will not DO less
than half or two thirds OF this value.
The building is among the very old ],
est structures in the city.
The fire department was called about
7:4O this morning, and while there was
no delay in reaching the scene OF the
blaze, the fire boys found they had
some active fire lighting to do. The
flames pierced the roof and played
havoc with the staircase and second
floor, but the splendid work dons pre-
vented a total loss, The fire started
in a storeroom in which there was no
stove and the theory of the autho.i-
ties is that matches may have been
ignited by mice.
Mr.. Knapp, the owner OF the Farm
ers' Home. says the Moorhead depart
ment has never done better work than
1t did this morning and as an express
sion of his appreciation he sent the
fremen a box of cigars. He was rot
able to deliver them personally. as
after the fire he met with a slight
accident at his home by slipping down
a stairway and slightly injuring one
of his feet

PERRAM GETS THE LID.
Little Brown jug Is Filled to Cork
and Tucked Away BY Saloon
Patrons.

The eight saloons In Perham, which
was the largest wet village In Otter
Trail county, were closed by govern
ment agents yesterday. The reports
indicate that there was but little H.
quor found when the deputy arrived
to close them 1t has been known for
several days that the deputies would
soon be on nand. and saloon patrons
have been stocking up, it is said. The
demand for jugs suddenly rose to
enormous proportions. and every gro
Gerry and crockery store was soon
cleared out. Bottles were utilized as
far as they went. and large part OF
the saloon stocks was soon transferred
to private owners. Consequently. the
deputies found little to ship out.
Hans o, Hagen, a summer resort
proprietor at Pelican Rapids, was TAX
an to Fergus Falls today and was
bound over to the grand jury or the
charge Of selling liquor Illegally. This
is the sixth case from that locality.
