city and today returned to her home
at Cleveland, 0.
The Degree of Honor had a great
meeting last night and it was full OF
enjoyment Following the initiation OF
the candidates presented there was a
social session, dancing, cards, etc. The
pickles" were in charge of the re-
freshment end of the social amenities
and the menu was so appetizing and
well served that the suggestion was
made that the pickles" committee be
made permanent--and it was SO con-
sidered.
The dispatches say that very en-
couraging reports are being made in
regard to the prospective iron mines
which are about to be developed near
Northome, Mimi, small place about
sixty miles from international Falls.
1t is expected that drilling will be be-

INSPECTION OF
The new COWS
OF STATE BOARD az.
GAN WORK TODAY ON THE AID
DITIoNs TO THE HANSON
DAIRY HERp-oTHER PLACES
TO BE INVESTIGATED.

With the recent depletion of HIS
dairy herd under orders of the inspec-
tion authorities of this state, and OF
the city of Fargo, sixty head not hay
Ing passed the test for mich cows.
John Hanson of the south side dairy,
Moorhead, has had to supply that de-
pletion by making more purchases. The
latter have been made most carefully
and every effort has been exercised ia
secure cows from absolutely healthy
herds. However, Mr.. Hanson says, you
never can tell what is lurking in the
inside of a man or COW, so to be on
the right side he made a special re.
quest to the state sanitary board, that
an inspector be sent to Moorhead SO
that the additions to his herd might
be placed under the required scrutiny
and If there were any that could moi
pass the test they could be culled out
and disposed of as the state might di-
rect and under the law--he wanted a
clean bill of health before the new
cows were turned loose into his general
order.
DR.. Mcdonald, field man of the state
sanitary board, arrived in the city this
morning, and he was at once taken
out to the Southside dairy and the
work of testing the thirty or forty
head was begun according to the rules
and regulations of the state, and DR.,
Mcdonald said the test would be as
complete as it was possible to make it.
On completion, Wednesday night the
record will be made and in due course
70 will NA To-
son, and it is his intention to have the
same published for the information Of
the public. Another thing, the state
Inspector will see Mr.. Hansor's barns
and dairy plant for himself, and n
there Is anything more to be done than
has been done to secure the best of
sanitary conditions in and about
dairy farm, DIR. Mcdonald may say
what it is and it will be done-this, in
the face of all that has been done in
the past by Mr.. Hanson in his effort
to have his place in the pink of per-
lection.
While here, Mr.. Mcdonald will in
vestigate some other places. One per-
son who sought a conference with the
Inspector today was John Lyman Of
Dilworth. 1t is anticipated that the
visit of the state inspector will be pro.
ductive Of much to clear the atmos-
phere of a lot of foolish ideas which
some people have on the milk and
cream business. On the whole the
Cairymen who are supplying milk and
cream. to consumers in this city and
Fargo arc and have been doing their
best to comply with all phases of the
sanitary laws.

DR.. Fulton Wants the Probe.

DIR. Fulton: l hope the commercial
club and city council committees will
go to the very bottom of the milk and
food inspection business. The more
thorough it is the better it will please
me as the city inspector Everything
has been open and above board with
me and / have nothing to cover up.
My reports and records will show for
themselves. My opinion is that all
tubercular tests should be made by the
state sanitary board and strictly I'M
der their supervision and it won't be
long before it viii come to that. it is
the only proper way. The people
have right to anticipate the very
best and practical results from the two
committees appointed.

Grain Letter.

Chicago. Feb. 7.-Wheat-Liverpooi
closed 1a lower, cash demand very
dun with very little inquiry. The mar
ket opened with a weak tone and con-
siderable pressure of long wheat
Prices declined to IS cents for May at
which point considerable short wheat
was covered and tended to hold the
market stead however, later in the
dav there was renewed liquidation
which carried prices 1ss cent below
last nights close. On each decline
there seemed to be further covering by
shorts and there is no doubt that con-
siderable long wheat was thrown over
board today. After the recent decline
we are inclined to look for some re-
action, but do not believe any perma-
nent advance can be sustained while
the cash demand is so dull and favor
sales on all rallies, as we firmly be-
lieve. in the absence of serious crop
damage, that prices win go materially
lower.

Moorhead Department
CITY COUNCIL IN
REGULAR SESSION
LAxNEss OF FOOD INSPECTION
DISCUSSED AND 1T WAS DE-
cIDED TO WORK WITH THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB TO REMEDY
THIS STATE OF AFFAIRS.

The city council Is going to joir
hands with the commercial club in the
matter of probing the laxness of tho
inspection of meats and foods. Mayor
Davy appointed Aldermen Lamb, Pc
derson and Melvey to cooperate with
| the commercial club committee and
work along the lines suggested by IL
Zervas at the meeting of the CONNER
cial club a week ago.
After the reading Of the minutes the
mayor recognized Mr.. Zervas, with
| whom were Messrs. Johnson and Verne
the other members of the commercial
club committee. After stating the busi-
ness of the committee with the city
council. Mr.. zervas said in substance
"At the meeting of the commercial
club a week ago, the statement was
made that there is practically no in
spection of meat and milk in Moorhead
If that is the case, then Moorhead is
indeed in a serious condition. Under
these conditions mothers would be
afraid to give their children milk and
the meat markets known to keep I'M
wholesome foods would suffer great
damage to their business. The COM
mercial club knows that we have an
inspector and the commercial club
wants to know what he has been do
ing. l voice the sentiments of the
markets of the city when / say that
we want Moorhead and Fargo to know
that the food sold in the markets of
Moorhead is perfectly wholesome"
In their after remarks the aldermen
displayed a strong sentiment that more
light was needed on the matter of food
inspection, and if there were any faults
with the present methods they ought
to be remedied.
In moving the appointment of a
committee to cooperate with the COM
mercial club committee, Alderman
Lamb said:
1--WE all know that we have an in
spector and that he has every month
put in a report which seemed to me
to be very full and comprehensive, of
the sanitary conditions of the dairies
in and about the city, especially as to
the quality Of the milk"
The mayor appointed Messrs. Lamb,
Peterson and Melvey as the committee
and it was stated that the committees
will meet Jointly at once and formu-
late a plan of action and delve into
the food inspection matter without any
delay.
The application of the street railway
company for the renewal of the per-
NIT to use the east end of the north
bridge for another year was put over
until an adjourned meeting next Mon
day.
Some little interest was evinced in
the monthly report of Dr. Fulton. the
milk and meat inspector when it was
taken up and read by the city clerk.
1t was as technical as usual. The re-
ports of the city officers were read and
ordered received and placed on file.
The salary bills were allowed. but as
there was only bare quorum present
only routine business could be attended
to and the council adjourned until
next Monday, when Alderman Kiefer
will have returned from the west. AL
derman Stanford's removal from the
city to Chicago leaves a Fourth ward
seat vacant, and Alderman Erdel OF
:he First ward has hied himself to
Philadelphia again.

MADAME GUSTAF
IS AFTER SHURE
SPIRITUAL MEDIUM AND MAG
NETlc HEALER is AFTER THE
SCALP OF CITY ATTORNEY
WANTS HIM REMOVED FROM
HIS POSITION.

Madame Gustaf. the spiritual med
ium and magnetic healer is after the
scalp of City Attorney Shure. And ali
because the city attorney successfully
prosecuted case against her when
she Is alleged to have violated city
ordinance.
Recently Madame Gustaf appeared
in the police court and was found
guilty of violating the ordinance regu-
lating the distribution of hand bills
about the city. The city attorney, in
his official capacity, appeared against
her and won the case.
Since that time the palnist has been
after Mr. Shure in a fashion that has
grown quite humorous to the many
friends of the city attorney At one
time she appeared at the house ada
cent to Mr.. Shure's home and stated
she wanted to see the city attorney.
On being informed that w. Fl. Shure
lived in the home adjoining, she
stated that she did not believe it. Even
when the man of the house appeared
she began talking to him, taking him
for the city's legal advisor.
She also appeared before the mayor
and asked that Mr.. Shure be fired"
1t is said that she claimed that the
city attorney was violating the consti-
tuition of the United States when he
acted against her and that he was
ungentlemanly.
Madame Gustaf has claimed to be
the daughter of a dethroned king of
CrvnIay4 d., I'd
tempting to cast spells upon report
ers, automobile men and others in the
courtroom has caused her to be taken
as a huge joke and the many friends
of Mr.. Shure about the city hall are
having great sport with the city at
torney regarding the allegations made
against him by the lady with the di-
vine power.

Among the Civ Politicians.

1t is generally conceded now that
Mr.. Bodkin was the spokesman in
connection with that little interview
with Mr.. Huntoon a week ago and
the ripples on the placid waters have
disappeared
Again it is stated that the friends of
DIR. Nelson are making life miserable
for him with their insistence that he
enter the aldermanic field.
1t is said that there was little con-
ference in a Front street store this
morning, when list was made of those
candidates who could not possibly win
this year and it was made by men
active in all of the wards of the city.
Rumblings are heard of anxious feel
ings among the star wearers. but the
latters' friends say that a strict neu-
trality is being observed.

Grain Opinions.

Lambson Bros. & Co.: We hold
firmly to our belief in ultimately higher
prices for corn.
Shearson- Hammill & Co: The apa-
thy of cash wheat buyers and the in
difference of the speculative public is
quite marked. A new incentive is
badly needed to instill life into the
wheat market.
S. B. Chaplin & Co.: With any i'm
proyement in the cash wheat demand
think prices would work higher, but
until present conditions are changed
the outlook is for narrow scalping
market.

Chicago Gossip,

Chicago, Feb. Local professionals
are about as mixed as to the course
of the prices for wheat at the pres
ent time as the ordinary layman. The
lack of any cash business of import
ance, with the visible continuing to
pile up in the face of much smaller
receipts has taken away the chief sup
port of the bulls. There is absolutely
no hope of export business and with
the domestic cash trade at a stand
still there does not appear to be much
incentive for buying. At the same time
sellers are not aggressive and appar-
emily there is no leadership on either
side of the market Foreign news
has little or no effect on the situa-
tion.

GAINESVILLE Record Herald: Sen. C. s.
Marden spent last Saturday in Barnes
vile and in conversation with the edi-
torial writer stated that hehad intro
duced bill into the senate which lie
passed would do away with all saloon
signs. Mr. Marden stated that the bill
was given him by an organization in
the twin cities and that a bin of its
kind had passed the New Jersey legis-
lature. The bill has nothing against
bill board advertising as some of the
papers of the state mentioned and the
senator felt 1t keenly the way some OF
the state papers ridiculed the bill.

Municipal Court.

The Ulen Union: Moorhead ought
to have municipal court instead of
the justice of the peace. 1t would save
Clay county several hundred dollars in
court expenses, because the jurisdiction
of the municipal court Is greater than
that Of d justice court, and hence many
cases that are taken to district court
for lack of jurisdiction of the Justice
court, could be settled in the municipal
Court. There ought to be somebody
interested enough in this in Moorhead
TO take the matter up.

tinue to come from that quarter, the
trade knows that the rainy season of
the spring months is just ahead and
altogether there is very confident
feeling about good crop prospect and
especially based on very large acre

the way of crop damage or the revival
