Grain Opinions.

! Finley Barrell & Co: The relief ex-
g,erienced in wheat was natural and to
be anticipated, but as there is alb
solutely no change in the underlying
situation think advantages should be
taken of any further Improvement in
order to again make sales. AS long
as cash corn continues to drag at n
discount it will be a very difficult mat
ter to bring about any permanent ad-
vance in futures.
Shearson- Hammill & Co: The gen.
eral atmosphere Of sentiment among
local traders was certainly less bear
tish and the growth Of quite a bullish
feeling is we think noticeable. This
hardly extends yet to the expectation
of a sustained bull market and caters
to materially higher prices, but the
feeling that we have break enough and
that a further reaction is due seems
to obtain more generally. We are in
clined to think wheat should be bought
on the weak spots for profit.
Chaplin: Unless the cash demand
improve or there is a broader trade in
-four we do not look FOR any marked
improvement in prices.

Sprake of Casselton this morning in
talking with representative of The
Forum regarding the recent blind pig
investigations that have been conduct
ed by States Attorney Fowler.
1.-The actions were started simply by
spite work and it was question OF
personal enmity, on the part of a
number OF people who hoped they
would be able to put the present city
administration in bad light. They
called in the states attorney, and have
succeeded in giving Casselton dark
name for the time being.

any drunkenness. The Casselton police
department has not made an arrest
for intoxication in the entire last year
and so far as / know there have been
no drunks in the city at ALL
Naturally / regretted the fact that
there were any blind pigs found to be
operating in Casselton. In the future
we will keep the very strictest watch
on all places and you can say for me
that there will be no more blind pig
ging In Casselton."
Mayor Sprake and Chief of Police
Bunker of Casselton were both in the
city today on official business.

Chicago Gossip.

Chicago, March 3.-Wheat bears said
that the shorts had been run in and
that the crowd was long and was un-
able to unload without making a
break. Gluten, who was back from
Florida, was talking bearish, but was
said to have covered wheat on the late
decline. Valentine and the Armour
Grain Co. are favorable to the bull side.
Patten and Rycroft were bearish, be.
lieving that the advance had been
enough for the time being. One of the
exporters said that there was more
business under way than was reported.
Lake was advocating purchases on a
scale down on breaks under SIC of
May. Logan and Bryan were heavy
sellers Of September toward the close
and Pringle a seller Of May, while
Maynard bought May which was at
tributd to the northwest. John Bar
rell says that he is a bear on wheat
and looks to be on that side for the
next three years.-Inter- Ocean.

A. r. PHELPS MURDERED.
Well Known Potato Buyer Meets His
Death in Texas.

Potato growers at Glyndon and other
places in Clay county will be inter-
ested in the news which was contained
in letter received in Moorhead yes
terday to the effect that A. F. Phelps,
a we'll known potato buyer who used
to come up to Clay county from Texas
every year. making his headquarters at
Glyndon, had been murdered in the
lone star state short time ago. Char
acteristic of the man, he became pos
sessed of a mortgage to some land and
proceeded to foreclose the same. The
mortgagor became incensed at the ac-
ton, and meeting Phelps shot him
dead on sight and after he had walked
short distance he turned the gun on
himself, infiicting fatal wounds. Before
the assailant died he made a statement
and told those about him that they
would find the dead body Of Phelps
about a mile down the road" 1t is
stated that Phelps was always very
exacting in his dealings with other
men and not much surprise is felt
that he should meet with an untimely
end.

FUNDAMENTALS
OE RELIGION
DIR. s. r. HALFYARD OF WESLEY
COLLEGE HAS SECOND BOOK
ON THE PRESS.

Grand Forks, N. D., March 3.-The
many friends of Dr. s. F. Halfyards Of
Wesley college will be glad to learn
that his new book, Fundamentals Of
the Christian Religion, is now in the
press and will be on the market in
a few weeks. The proof sheets have
already been read and the publishers
are Fastening the publication OF the
work Those who have seen the man
uscript are loud in their praise OF the
book and predict for 1t large sue
cess. The purpose Of the book is to
exhibit the fundamental truths or
christianity and to present them In
such a way as to establish faith IN the
saving power Of the christian religion.
A comparison is made between the
christian system and the various eth
mic religions that have sought the al
legiance of mankind in which the
measureless superiority of the chris
tian faith becomes manifest. The work
also aims to show that the content or
the christian revelation contains Gods
best message to the race and as such
can never be suspended.
That DR.. Halfyard is eminently
qualified to handle such theme Is
evident from the fact that for many
years he has been a close student, not
only of the christian system, but also
of the nom christian religions of the
world. The work Is the product OF
profound thought, constructive mag
ination, and ripe scholarship. 1t
evinces wide erudition as well as
deep insight into the many problems
\ H.
moreover, is charmingly written. There
is freshness and originality about 1t
that captivate the reader During
the writing Of the book the author
had in mind not only the great student
body of readers, but the general read
er, and the work will appeal to the
person of average intelligence as we'll
as to the student and specialist. The
writer has avoided largely the termin-
ology Of the theological schools and
has expressed his arguments in clear
and beautiful language. The diction is
choice and there are many passages
throughout the book Of rare literary
beauty The work will be a contribu-
ton to religious thought.
DIR. Halfyard's former work, The
Spiritual Basis of Man and Nature,
which appeared less than two years
ago, has had large sale and has won
for the author recognition as a writer
of unusual power and brilliancy A
late reviewer says of this book that it
"is an excellent volume for young men
and those hitherto IMMERSED in the vast
literature of the subject, as well rea-
soned introduction to sane spiritual
philosophy"

"BAcK TO MISSOURI"
IS THE NEW CRY.

New York Sun: There viii be acrid
disappointment throughout the United
states if the Hon. Augustus Thomas
doesn't dramatic the 1910 Red Book
of Missouri Probably, however, he
wrote it, and with the stage in view.
At any rate, as a loyal Missourian,
though escaped to New York, or New
Rochelle, he cannot but be thrilled, as
many non Missourian outlanders are,
with the yearning cry, back to Mis-
souri," which now rings through the
world and is answered passionately by
all or most of the wandering Missouri
ans who don't happen TO be farming
in this town. A general "homecom-
ing" Is contemplated or going on; it
would be premature to swear to the
details for Mr.. Thomas. well known
already by his Old Farmers Altman
ack, says in his Red Book, lie
internal evidence doesn't mislead us
as to its authorship:
while the census figures of rural
Missouri have been disappointing and
little below the estimations of even
the most conservative of statisticians,
vet nothing better would have been
expected If the inhabitants OF the state
had only realized how large the army
of Missourinans is who allowed them
selves to be enticed to other states
and to Canada, in pursuit Of the pots
of gold which, mythically. exist at the
ends of a rainbow. 1t is very plain
now that this vast horde Of absent
and home longing pilgrims amounts to
fully 100000 men, women and chill
dren. Probably four-f ifths OF these
weary wanderers now that they know
that their Ell Dorado is in good old
Missouri, want to come back"
Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, must
forgive the reference to themselves In
the documents quoted below. They
have their virtues, but these roam
ing sons Of Missouri long for her even
as the hart for the water brooks:
"Beebe, Ark have read all about
the home coming of the Missourians,
and I say, 'hurrah.' for We are sure
sick Of this. 1t has not rained here for
over two months and everything is
drying up. Wells are dry, and 1t is
We left Missouri for Kansas, then here
and we sure want to go back to dear
old Missouri"
"Silverton Texas--I am a Nilsson
rian from Mcdonald county. left
there in 1889. and since that time |
have seen all of Oklahoma and
enough of Arkansas for one man, and
some little of Texas, and ! would like
to get back on the dear old Cowskin
river. where started from"
May all these homesick Missourians
have their desire and see the streams
of home! The Cowskin hiker has
homely, native sound, which Mr..
Thomas in his realm of dreams has
seemed to forget a little; and here IS
an army of 100000 to collect and lead.
Col, Abe Slupslxy has other duties and
glories The Hon. Beauchamp Clark
has mules that will not be driven
save by a referendum. Mr.. Thc;nas of
the Red Book is the man.

Courthouse improvements.

In addition to the improvements
made on the courtroom floor of the
courthouse and the redecoration of the
rooms on the second floor, the COM
missioners of Clay county have decided
upon a thorough housekeeping
throughout the main floor of the build
ing so as to give little air of aesthet-
icism to the environments Of the rank
and file Of the official family. At the
meeting of the board. a day or two
ago, Commissioners Richards and Sui
Ivan and County Auditor Houglum
were appointed a committee to arrange
for specifications for painting, paper
ing and decorating all of the rooms,
and the hallway on the main floor of
the courthouse.
