'MoRED THAT IT WILL BE CON.
VERIFIED INTO NEW AMUsE.
MENT HOUSE.

1t was authoritatively announced
this morning that the old Fargo Me-
camille building on N. p. avenue was
sold yesterday, though the considera-
ton was not made public. The new
purchasers comprise a number OF
prominent Fargo business men. and il
Is an unverified rumor that the build
ing VIII be converted into modern
vaudeville house in the near future.
The personnel of the syndicate il
understood to include James Kennedy.
James Grady, Max and Alex Stern and
Maurice Kaufman. While the rcrort
was at first denied by few. it was
later confirmed by one of the syldi-
cate who made the statement for lub-
lication.
The proposed new vaudeville house.
which 1t is rumored will be opened in
the building, is understood will re
controlled by local capital and operated
totally by Fargo men. Last week
1t was circulated that the new theatre
would probably be managed by a syn
dicate comprised mostly OF csrand
Forks business men, but the report
has been denied today.

dependent Race.

dependent Race.
Senator F. H. Peterson confirms the
reported denial sent to GAINESVILLE
which was to the effect that he was not
an independent candidate against c.
S. Marden who was nominated fairly
and squarely at the primaries. Mr.
Peterson says he never had any idea
Of running and he is absolutely in ig-
| norance as to who set the "indepen-
dent" story in motion. He SAYS fur
Their that he could not run if he felt
so inclined, or in other words he could
not make a campaign as he under
stands it would be unlawful There
have been instances where defeated
candidates have been elected by the
sticker plan in wards or counties, but
in senatorial distract of three coun-
ties success by stiGkers is SO remote
that it is foolish t. waste time think
ing about it-such a thing has never
been heard of and not likely to be in
the face of the fact that the senator
only carried one county out of three in
the district and that by only fifteen
votes.
Referring to the subject, The Rec
ord-Review of Barnesville has this to
say: Senator Peterson Of Moorhead
has stated that he will not run as an
independent candidate against Charles
S. Marden of this city. This gives the
GAINESVILLE attorney clear field; for
surely Bjorge will not come out in the
senatorial field after suffering such a
terrible defeat from Halvor Steener-
son."

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-There was not SO
many bears on wheat last night as Of
late because prices had advanced. 1t
was that the short interest in the pit
has been greatly reduced and while
there might be some further appre-
citation in wheat there was nothing in
the legitimate situation from an ex-
port standpoint to warrant any main
tenance. traders said that unless there
is more wheat put on the market it
would not be surprising to see values
advance so long as shorts continue to
cover, IT was not to be supposed,
traders said that wheat could not be
sold Unfortunately for over two
weeks and the short interest covered
in three days. The Armour interest
sent out bull news on both wheat and
corn during the day, and have for two
days past and 1t was the gossip that
Lichstern is long wheat.

Oats: Ruled firm on further cover

Bartlett, Frazier & Co.
Liverpool, Oct. 21.-The wheat mar
ket opened quiet but with a steadier
undertone and values unchanged to u

week. Following the opening the mar
ket ruled dull with some support in

Chicago Report.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Wheat: Liver
pool closed % to II lower than yester-
day. The market after opening easier,
in sympathy with cables, advanced
sharply on buying by local bulls as
well as shorts on a cable received from
the Argentine saying that the rains
were too late. However, we do not
believe in this. Buenos Ayres market
was reported y c lower than yester-
day. Prospects are for larger worlds
shipments against this week. We can
see nothing in situation to warrant
any advance and believe in absence OF
export demand prices will work low

Corn: Weather cold and clearing
and this is favorable for corn. Coun-
try offerings are moderate Cash de-
mand only fair. The market ruled firm
during the greater part of the day on
further covering by shorts. but we can

County Attorney Johnson is investi-
eating the cause of the death of Stena
Naverud of Hitterdal at one of the
Fargo hospitals, late yesterday after
noon, where she had been patient
Ronly few days. 1t ia alleged that a
treatment given the patient before she
was sent to the hospital was the al
legged cause of the demise of the UNI
fortunate girl. The county attorney

that crime has been committed and
he is delving to the bottom of the af-
fair. 1t is said that the girl made a
