100000; last week, 3,3S2,00; last year,
100000. The wheat market at the
opening was under pressure of realiz-
ing and values were % lower. The
firmness shown in American cables
yesterday was offset by a Broomhall
cable from Argentine increasing his
former estimate of the exportable sur
plus, and following the opening the
market further declined H. Later and
during the remainder of the morning
session the market was strongly sup
ported and prices advanced q to a
penny from the opening. This SUPPORT
came largely from the shorts who Co,
cred actively on the fact that although
deliveries were heavy, millers took =
large quantity delivered and the re-
mainder went into good hands. Monthly
stocks showed over 100000 bushels
decrease and reports from Russia are
less favorable as regard crop condi.
tons At the close the market was
strong and Is to penny higher than
the opening and "a to " higher than
yesterday. The corn market was neg
lected and nominally unchanged. I,iy-
erpool monthly stocks of wheat this
month amount to 100000 and corn

Fighting FOR
SALE COMMISSION
PREACHER AND BANKER OF VIM
TON, IA, WAolNG LEGAL BAT.
TIE in DISTRICT COURT OVER
COMMISSION FOR THE SALE OF
NORTH DAKOTA LAND.

The case of It. G. Breaw against the
Ransom County Immigration associa-
ton was the first of the civil matters
| to be taken up in the district court
following the disposal Of the criminal

was commenced this morning and the
defendants attorneys had just opened

chased $50 acres of North Dakota land
from the Ransom County Immigration
association and now resides on his
farm near Sheldon, N d.
1t appears that A. B. Allen. banker
residing in Vinton, also claims to have
directed Mr.. Browns attention to the
North Dakota land in the hands of
the Ransom County immigration as
sociation, with the view of obtaining
the commission of 81 per acre also.
Rev. Breaw brought suit against the
immigration association. with main
Offices at Fargo, demanding the pay
ment of the commission of $3.50.
The immigration association paid the
commission to the court for settlement
between the two claimants. A. B. |
Allen. the Vinton banker, was substi-
tuted as defendant in the case, and the |
contest is now being fought out be- |
tween the preacher and banker

More Work Needed.

Secretary McCracken of the Asso-
ciated Charities: Il do not want to
knock on the city, but one thing is
evident, and that is that tEere is
now enough work in Fargo to supply
the city's poor, say nothing of the
large flocks of people that are COM
ing into Fargo. The outsiders in
North Dakota and western Minneso-
ia will have to get over the idea that
Fargo has work for everybody, es-
pecially in the winter season. The
Associated Charities already has per-
sons who are suffering because they
cannot get work, and in the face of
this organization is compelled to take
care of strangers who have come into
the city thinking that they can Sc
cure employment here.

HOSPITAL PREJUDICE

H X
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
At a recent meeting of the Albany
Medical society DR.. A, I'll. Thayer read
paper dealing with O popular dread
Of hospitals, it being assumed that
many people are prejudiced against
such institutions for reasons which are
untenable 1t was pointed out that
when patient is taken to a hospital
especially from country town. and.
dies after an operation which may in
itself be trihing, the word passes rap
idly that death was the result of the
operation. For the reason, DIR. Thayer
contended, many people refuse to avail
themselves of the benefits of these use
full institutions.
Some important facts were brought
out in DR.. Thayers paper a few of
which were well known to people fa-
miliar with hospital practice, but
knowledge of which is not so generally
disseminated as is desirable. He, had
found by the records of his own hos
pital that the mortality following hos
pital operations was very low, not be-
ing higher than per cent of all opera
tions. 1t is pointed out that patients
regain their health in ninety mine cases 4
out Of 100 in hospital practice state
ment which will surprise even those
familiar with the admirable admins
tration of modern hospitals. The fact
seems to be that, while a death fol- !
lowing an operation in a hospital, or
general treatment in a hospital, at
tains wide publicity, little is heard of |
the recoveries.
1t should not require elaborate argu- I
nent by hospital surgeon or physi-
clan to remove the alleged prejudice /
against well conducted hospitals when
he remarkable change in conditions is
'ealized. Formerly, when it was Gus
.omery to perform necessary opera
ions at the home of the patient, the
surgeon was seriously handicapped 1t /
S not many years since the trained
Nurse, now such an important factor
n success, was unknown 1t was prac-
ically impossible, in home surround
ngs, to carry out a course of after
treatment upon which so many import
int surgical cases depend for recov-
ry.
1t is just possible that DR.. Thayer
nay have oyerestimated that POPULAR
prejudice against the modern hospital
n any event such prejudice is rapidly
passing. The question whether an OPP
'ration in given case is necessary
must, now, as it always has,, depend
Upon ripened professional Judgment
md advanced knowledge. That suchI
Judgment has ripened, and such knowl-
dge has advanced. cannot be gainsaid.

Salem, Ore, Dec. Howard Elliott,

He said: "Of late. years everybody,
and. by that / mean the people at
large, through their legislatures, COM
missions and bureaus, have been UNI
dertaking to regulate and manage in
detail some of the larger forms Of
business. particularly railways
"The results is that the people whose
real business 1t is to manage railroads,
III mean the owners and the men they
employ. are becoming discouraged by
being fnterfered, with by everybody and
there is danger that this interference

railway business is nobody's business.
THE good sense of the American
people probably will make them realize
the situation before it is too late, but
intelligent people should stop now to
consider whether il is wise to go on
indefinitely attacking the transporta-
ton business or whether it is not bet
ter to let those who own it and the
trained men who have grown up in it,
manage ii instead Of turning that man
agement over to others.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. --Wheat-The wheat
market opened steady to a fraction
easier and ruled dull and rather heavy
in tone until the issuance of the Okla
homa state report. Oklahoma raised
last year l5,600,OOO bushels. Deliver
les in st, Louis about 100000 bushels;
Kansas City about 10000 bushels. We
do not hear of any export inquiry to-
day from any quarter. The Oklahoma
report came in the nick of time today
TO save the market which seemed to
be in need of more bull news. 1t is
expected by those friendly to wheat
that Nebraska, Kansas and Texas in
their state reports will reflect a some
what similar condition. In the mean
time we are making no Roadway in
disposition OF our known surplus.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY

cussing the wheat market last night
SAID that II acted as IL 1t was going
higher although he saw no news to
put prices UP. 1t was said that the
local crowd had reduced their short
interest and that ii was not wise to
follow the advance very far because
the professionals who are trying to
boost prices are likely to be satisfied
with moderate profits and will unload
on the bulges.
