The Cass county republican central
committee and the republican candi-

quarters in tho new Stone block and
laid their plans for the coming cam
paign.
The county is well organized this
year and the executive committee pre-
diets a big victory for all the candi-
dates in the coming election. The
splendid records of the men who were
elected at the last election and who
campaigned the county two years ago
has left the candidates OF this year a
clean and open field for campaigning.
The@fact that all the members of
the executive committee and the can
didates were at the meeting this aft
ernoon is enough to assure the voters
that the Cass county campaign will be
conducted to win and this perfect har-
mony makes the election of every can

conducting the county campaign and
the systems to be used were adopted
and effective methods will prevail

What is Moorhead going to do for

The question is on the lips of many
and people are beginning to display
some nervousness. They would like to

According to l.. A. Huntoon, presi-

seems to be little thought about. He
had in mind an emergency. such as
may be experienced this year. when as
a member of the city council he urged
and accomplished the purchase Of the
splendid artesian well which now sup
plies the city with water for domestic
purposes. Besides this there are a
number of private wells the supply
of which seems never to be diminished.
Mr.. Huntoon says If the worst comes
the city has sites available where two
or three wells and maybe more, can
be sunk and they would supply water
for all purposes. For fire purposes a
tank or tanks could be erected and
from them the necessary force would
be obtained. The present wells in the
city cary from 127 to $50 feet and it
would only require about two weeks
time to sing we'll However, rains
would help a lot and put a supply

OF SNUG sum or MONEY FROM
4 CUSTOMER AFTER CLOSING
HOURS.

Peter Meehan, who operates a sa-

tender, Steve Ries, were arrested late
yesterday afternoon on complaint Of
Harry Skarrow of Fargo, who alleges
that the defendants held him up in
the Meehan place, late last Monday
night, and stole from him sum OF
money, about $145. The testimony Of
three witnesses was heard before JUS
rice Malloy very shortly after the de-
PENDANTS had been taken to police
headquarters. Meehan was represented
by Sharp & Chaplin and Ries by W. Fl.
Barnett of Fargo.

testified that he was Kept in the sa :
loon after closing hours and relieved
of his money and he is partially cor

ell. The whole affair is denied by
Meehan, who contends that Skarrow
had no such amount of money with
him.
1t appears that the two defendants
were not arrested together and after
the denial of Meehan, that Skarrow
did not have any money, Ries APP
peared in court and in response to a
question by the court, replied some
thing to the effect that there was an
envelope az the saloon containing about
$50 with Skarrow's name on the out
side. The court remarked that the
statement of Ries put different COM
plexion on the case" As the county
attorney was out of town and there
was an absence of other witnesses,

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett Frazier & CO.: AS we have
said before, the Argentine crop pros
pect is the key to the wheat situation,
and will bear close watching. AS soon
as the new crop begins to move we
think the pressure from hedging sales
will be a weight on the corn market
and cause lower prices. In the mean
time the market will probably rule
steady within a narrow range.
Finley Darrell Co.: Unless the dam
age in the Argentine is confirmed we
would advise sales of wheat as there
is nothing aside from possibilities of
damage to the Argentine crop at the
moment to warrant any sustained i'm
provement.
Logan and Bryan: Without some
unusual influence like that suggested
by the Argentine report we do not
look for the wheat market to hold
