THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 1900
BIRDS HERE-cooPs ARE BEING
PLACED IN POSITION.

Entries are arriving every day for
the annual poultry show, which will
be held in this city on Jan. IS to 21.
Today a number of splendid entries
were made. The show will be held on
the second floor Of the old Fargo
Mercantile building on N. p. avenue,
the North Dakota Corn show occupy
ing the lower floor. Bringing the two
shows near each other in this manner
makes II very handy, for without
leaving the one building one will be
able to take in these two exhibits.
The show this year will be vastly
better than the excellent show Of last
year. 1t is fully expected that 1900
birds will be on exhibit, comprising
some of the most notable fowls of
various kinds in the entire country.
The exhibiting facilities will also be
superior. There is plenty of room in
the building where the show will be
held to exhibit the birds to the best
advantage. Today the promoters of
the exhibit were busy arranging coops,
which will be used for the show, and
placing them in the building.

MEN CONVICTED OF UNDER
WEIGHING FRAUDS EACH
GET ONE YEAR SEN.
TENcE.

New York, Jan. 10.-Four former
employees Of the American Sugar Re-
filming Co, convicted of underweigh-
ing frauds, were sentenced to one
year Imprisonment each by Judge
Martin in the United States circuit
court here today The men sentenced
are Thomas Kehoe, Edward A. Boyle.
Patrick j. Hennessey and John M.
Coyle.
The quartette were checkers on the
docks of the sugar company in Will
iamsburg where the discovery was
made that the scales used to weigh
sugar imports had been tampered with.
AS result of this discovery the
American Sugar Refining Co. reim-
bursed the government to the extent
of more than $2,O00,00O for evaded du-
ties. In addition employees of the COM
pany were indicted for conspiracy.
The jury convicted Oliver Splitter, dock
superintendent and the four men SEN
fenced today.
There was a disagreement over the
case of James F. Bederbel, cashier OF
the refinery, one of the defendants.
Splitter collapsed in court Saturday.
When the motion for a new trial for
the men was argued 1T was found thal
he would have to undergo a slight op-
GRAFTON for an intestinal disorder. For
this reason Judge Martin today did
not pronounce sentence on him, but
remanded him until Feb. l.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Wheat Goasin.

Minneapolis, Jan. 10.--Wheat showed
q stubborn undertone today and fair
rallying power from the declines but
mo sustained strength. There is a
sentimental speculative bearish feeling
In the pit that persistently sells on the
bulges with confidence even in the
face of strong immediate cash wheat
situation. The statistical develop
ments do not make the bear position
tenable yet and on the declines the
surplus in the pit disappears. forcing
covering of short commitments.
This makes the market scalping
affair. While there is no change In
general conditions, the bearish specu-
lative forces are not to be ignored and
the only safe course is TO buy on the
setbacks for quick profits until 1t be-
comes clearer whether or not the ter
minal markets are to be overwhelmed
with wheat. The visible decreased

emulation later in the season.-Chas.

HUNGRY STRIKERS
OUGHT TO STEAL,
SAYS {. GOLDMAN

Cleveland, Jan. 1O.--+Tf was starv-
ing and out of work, I'd steal"
Emma Goldman, anarchist, fiery and
fascinating of tongue as ever, in Cleve-
land today. was discussing the stone
quarry strike at Amherst, where men
have struck because they couldn't sup
port their families on present day
wages of unskilled labor.
Necessity knows no law" continued
Miss Goldman.
But the Amherst strikers with the
usual foresightedness, have chosen
the wrong time to strike. They have
chosen the time when their work is
not needed. And thus they, play into
the hands of their employers.
What do the employers care IL they
are starving? Capital gives little
thought to such things. When men are
starving and the employers do not need
their services. it is the best time for a
strike, from the employers standpoint.
Then the men have no hope of winning.

CENSUS ENUMERATORS
Some Officials Are Ineligible in Mimi
nesota-Time Extended For Filing
Applications.

Regarding applications for positions
as enumerators to work in the Ninth
district Of Minnesota, they should be
made to Daniel w. Meeker, supervisor
of the census, Moorhead, MINI. To-
day Mr.. Meeker gave out some point
ers as to persons who are not eligible
to hold the Office, under the national
and state laws.
Owing to the delay in printing cer-
tain of the blanks the director of the
census has authorized the extension of
the time when applications may be re-
ceived by supervisors until Jan. 81.
Persons seeking appointment as anu
merator should write to the supervisor
requesting application blanks. These
will be forwarded as soon as received
and, on account of the delay in print
ing, should be filled out and returned
promptly to the supervisor
The test for census enumeraLors will
be held at several places throughout
the district, Feb. s, and each applicant
will receive card admitting him to
examination on that date.
A person to be eligible for appoint
ment as enumerator must be citizen
of the United States between the ages
of Is and 20 years, and must never
have been convicted of crime. If
he is an assessor or is In any way con-
nected with the assessment or the col
lection of taxes he can not serve as an
enumerator. In this connection all
township and village assessors elected
in 1909, except in villages incorporated
under special laws, are ineligible for
appointment. The Minnesota legisla-
ture in 1909 passed law (Chapter S16)
which makes the term OF township
and village assessors two years In
stead of one, and extends to the terms
of all who were elected in 1909 to
cover the assessment period Of 1910.
Under the rules of the postoffice de-
partment postmasters, mail clerks and
carriers are also prohibited from serv-
ing as enumerators.

he had already heard, from one or two

The first meeting Of the Interdenom-

and Methodist Episcopal churches Of
the state will be held in this city to-
morrow. The first session will be held
in the First Congregational church at
10 o'clock a. M
The four churches mentioned at the
last annual meeting took steps to pro-
vide for this commission. It consists
of three men from each church and
they will have power to decide all in
terdenominationaI questions in North
Dakota. 1t is the idea to plan the
state work of each of these churches
so that it will be more concentrated.
In some places it is the plan to have
one denomination or possibly two or
three denominations leave the field to
one of the other denominations so that
where there are now two or three weak
churches there will be but one strong
church.
1t is a proposition of getting together
for the best good of church work in
general

who will meet tomorrow: Methodist
