HELD ON CHARGE
OF SMUGGLING
GEORGE FIELD, AGED 70 YEARS.
GIVEN HEARING TO-DAY IN FED
ERAL COURT ON CHARGE OF
SMUGGLING LIQUOR INTO UNIT
ed STATES.

George, Field, aged rs years and held
on charge of smuggling, was ar
raigned this noon in federal court be-
fore Judge Amidon and the case was
continued until further investigation
could be made in the case. Field is be-
ing held at the county JAIL
Field has been in the Ramsey coun-
ty jail for about month, having been
arrested at the instance OF deputy
revenue collector and held awaiting
the action of the federal grand fury
which recently convened in this city.
The hearing this noon was continued
until further investigation could be
properly made in the case.
The charge Of smuggling is based
on the assertion that he brought sew
eral quarts Of Canadian whiskey into
the United States without having first
paid the duty on the commodity.
Whether Field was engaged in the
traffic for profit, or whether he was
merely bringing In little supply for
his own use, makes little difference
to the government, it must do its duty.

DID not MAKE
ANY DIFFERENCE

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. 16.--The
public only receives the jury's verdict
but what takes place behind the scenes
in the jury room Is generally secret
unless some yer-enthusiastic Juror
confides in a friend or tells his wife
of the deliberations. 1t now develops
that the jury in the case OF the state
against Reynolds involving an alleged
violation Of the new medical law OF
mot guilty because they did not think
the verdict would have any effect on
the appeal to the supreme court They
figured that In view Of this fact--as
they saw it--they might just as well
acquit the defendant as convict. 1T
required just two ballots to arrive at
this weird and wonderful conclusion
by unanimous vote.
The jurors then found that in their
haste they had decided the case be-
fore dinner time and to return a
verdict without having something To
eat on the county, would be utterly
at variance with true jury principles.
TO while away the time until the din
ner hour some diversion was neces-
sary and the members Of the Raw
nolds jury decided that they would de-
liberate on the McL.ain Cooper mur-
der case. Ballots were prepared and q
vote was taken as to the guilt or limo
cense. The jury agreed on the first
ballot Having thus relieved their
minds they enjoyed the dinner fur
nished by the county and rendered
their decision which has made ii nee
essary for the county to 30 to the ex-
pense Of bringing another suit to test
the law just because this particular
aggregation Of twelve men and true
thought 1t didn't make any particular
difference.

HOOVER TALKED TO
TRAVELLING men
SUPERINTENDENT or THE CITY
SCHOOLS DELIVERED sPLEN-
DID ADDRESS TO COMMERCIAL
TRAVELLERS AT COMMERCIAL
CLUB ON NEEDS or SCHOOLS.

Supt. w. r. Hoover Of the Fargo
city schools occupied the noon hour
for commercial travellers day at the
commercial club and gave splendid
address on The Needs Of the Fargo
Schools.
No one in the city is better pre-
pared to tell of the conditions OF the
Fargo schools than superintendent
Hoover and his talk this noon was in
teresting in all its details.
He brought with him q number OF
instruments by which are guaged the
various degrees Of temperature and
also for determining the proper
amount of ventilation for the differ
ent school rooms in the city in proper
ton to the number of pupils in each.
Mr.. Hoover gave several very inter-
esting demonstrations with different
tests in the public schools in the city
and showed the difficulties which are
to be overcome in various buildings.
These tests are made with regularity
and by that method the school system
of Fargo is made one Of the best and
most up-to- date in the country.
The superintendent address, while
longer than the usual run of noon day
talks that have been given at the COM
mercial club, was one that held the
interest of every member of the club
present and tended to give the COM
mercial travellers a clear insight into
the school conditions In this city SO
that they may be better prepared to
speak intelligently on the advantages
of Fargo's public schools when boost
ing for the city on their trips over the
state and in other parts of their terri
tory.
The attendance today was large con-
siderlng the party Of business men
who have left the city for the land

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 16.-It was the
impression among wheat traders last
night that the crowd were long and
that the saort interest had been re-
duced, as number of traders who were
short 100000 to 100000 bushels COW
cred, one line of 100000 bushels be-
ing finished up at s9c for May. Com
mission houses are inclined to go slow
in advertising the purchases of corn
around the present level. Pit traders
said last night that the local crowd
were mainly long and the shorts had
covered. Cutten was credited with
buying 10000 bushels early and with
selling 100000 bushels later.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
EVENING Grain Letter.

Chicago, Dec. 1s.--Wheat: Our
market opened easier in sympathy
with the lower foreign markets; stea-
died to above last nights closing pric-
Is and later sagged. The buying pow
er seems to have spent itself, and
shorts were timid about making new
commitments over Sunday. South
western markets simply follow the
trend Of the local markets. With con-
ditions as they present themselves to
our minds, and with the market Of
such a purely professional character.
we can see no reason, whatever, for
advocating the long side.

DECORATIONS FOR
CHRISTMAS SEASON
IN HOMES AND CHURCHES LAU-
REL AND HOLLY WREATHs
AsouND-NuTs WILL BE HIGH.
Err PRICED THIS YEAR THAN
LAST

Laurel and holly wreaths are es-
sential to proper Christmas decora-
tions. There is hardly home in Far
go but contains some roping or holly at
Christmas time. Those who object to
Christmas trees because OF their being
so infiammable usually hang a wreath
of holly in the windows or festoon
the loose holly as decorations for the
chandeliers, the grill work separating
two rooms and other appropriate
places.
In the churches and public halls rop-
ing and holly wreaths are almost an
absolute necessity. Great festoons,
hanging from the window tops to the
center of the ceilings. give these places
AN appearance that is unobtainable
otherwise. The wreaths are placed
conveniently and tastefully about the
wall, and perhaps between them are
fastened the Virginia pine needles, a
fan-shaped leaf of delicate green coll
or. And the mistletoe--what would
the poor, unfortunate unmarried girls
and post~marriage old maids do with
out it2
Nuts Viii Be High.
At Christmas time the demand for
nuts is greatest and this year it is
feared that while there will be enough
to go around. the urgent demand viii
force the prices up. The best nuts
come from California.
