new DETENTION
HOSPITAL READY
NEW DETENTION HOSPITAL is
ALMOST READY FOR occU-
PANcY-cITY, HEALTH INsPEc-
TOR WILL BE IN DIRECT
CHARGE OF INSTITUTION.

II expect the new city detention
hospital will be read for occupany
right away said DIR. G.. A. Carpen-
ter, the city health officer this morn
ing in talking with a representative
of The Forum.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Woodland will
be in direct charge of the new institu-
ton and will be stationed there all
the time. Mr.. Woodland has for the
lest few years been the city health
inspector and is very capable man for
the position.
The hospital will be ready for use
the first of next week at the very
latest, from the present outlook. 1t
is entirely possible that the structure
will be completed in detail this week
and the city will move into it.
No regular nurses will be employed
by the city health department at the
hospital. However, just as soon as
cases are placed within the confines of
the building, competent nurses will be
of service to patients.
At the present time there are no
cases to go into the building. The
temporary detention hospital which
has been used, turned out it's last
patient yesterday. However, there
are few cards for contagious disease
now up over the city, and some of these
patients might seek to avail themselves
of the new sanitar.' house.

Liverpool, Feb. 20.--World's whea:
shipments this week, 1878, 900; prev
ious week, I2,304,000; last year, H.
$4,000. Corn this week, 100000;
previous week, 3,535,0OO; last year, J..
500, 900.
The wheat market at the opening
showed steady undertone with prices
a higher on the steadier American
cables on Saturday and the decrease
in local stocks here. Following the
opening the market was depressed with
a lower tendency and values declined
* with the undertone heavy. Pressure
resulted from the liberal American
shipments and larger Russian ship
n1ents for the week than was expected,
the amount on passage showed large
increase. At midday, the market was
dull with lower tendency and prices
about unchanged from Saturday
Corn was steady at the start and
later advanced u on the improved de-
mand for spot and expected decrease
in the amount on passage.

Oscar Martinson of Quale & Martin

accident
In the course of business Martin
son had occasion to use some spirits
of ammonia. The place in the store
where the latter was kept was rather
cold and when he took the cork from
the bottle the strong gases which were
released penetrated Mr.. Martinson's

He was hurried to the office of n

warning to people using any spirits
likely to form gases and to open them
distance away from the face.
Ammonia at a certain degree of cold
forms a very dangerous gas.
Laboratory Accident.
S. w. Hockett of the normal faculty
suffered some painful burns on his
face and hands as the result of an
explosion of chemicals in his labora-
tory Saturday evening. Fortunately
his eyesight is not impaired, nor his
face or hands disfigured. He will be
obliged, however, to nurse his burns
for a few days and give UP class work.
The accident occurred through an
attempt to mix up a f1ashlight to be
used in photographing the young peo-
pie who had attended the Owl banquet.
A doctor was summoned, and after at
tending to the patients immediate
needs took him to the Moorhead hos
pital, where he remained until today,

A LARGE CROWD
HEARS READING

A crowd which completely filled the
house, was at the Grand theatre last
evening to hear Miss Maude Hayes of
the Moorhead normal school give a
reading of Frances Hodgson Burnett's
little drama, he Dawn of Tomorrow.
The audience was one which re-
sponded most enthusiastically and an
intense interest was shown in the
manner in which the entire house
greeted her presentation of the pro-
duction. The play, with it's high ton
ed moral, was one which touched the
heart strings and the lesson given was
one that was worth the time and at
tention of any thinking person.
Miss Hayes received many con-
CALCULATIONS for her excellent work.
There has been nothing on the pro-
gramme of the Grand Free Lecture
association this year, that has met
with a more hearty approval than the
reading given last evening.

!.
The non partisan convention to be
held at the A. c. armory on Feb. ~
is now the topic of every discussion
about the campus of the agricultural
college.
The convention is under the auspices
Of the board of public speaking and
everything possible has been done to
make il as near like national COM
vention in every detail as possible
The armory will be deliberately dec
Grated and over 700 yards of bunting
have been ordered to use for this pur-
pose. 1t will be divided into sections
which will be occupied by the different
delegations.
In one corner of the armory will be
installed a Western Union telegraph
system with instruments and the
necessary equipment for Western
Union office. The noise and click" OF
the instruments will add to the reality
of the occasion
Another corner will be occupied by
the Associated Press where stenogra"
pliers and shorthand writer's will re-
cord the nominating speeches and pro-
ceedings of the convention. A nom
partisan paper is also being printed
which is arousing much interest, and
when published will undoubtedly be q
big feature. of the convention.
The campaign is being strenuously
conducted by the different factions who
are supporting different candidates.
Narrowing the campaign down, it looks
as if La Toilette and Champ Clark are
running in the lead for the presidential
nomination.
The suffragettes are the recipients OF
much attention by the different leaders
as they control large number of the
votes, and whatever candidate they
back will undoubtedly figure strongly
in the race.

he was entering the Pearl barber shop,
in the same building. The sidewalk
was icy and just as Mr.. Redmon was
about to enter the door his two feet
went from under him and he fell with
great force on his back and head. He
was partially stunned and when he
was removed into the barber shop it
was feared that he had been fatally
injured, but a little later he revived

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY


Chicago, ILL.,. Feb. 2O.--Wheat-The
market opened steady, ruled very dull
and firm. There seemed to be more or
less support in May around slh, but
after noon the entire line broke cent

lmAn@d coward the long side seemingly
on the basis OF natural conditions, as
there was no apparent reason Tor
looking for any advance. The winter
wheat country shows good covering
of snow. Under existing conditions. 1t
seems absolutely futile for anybody to
attempt to bull wheat. Temporary
rallies, from any over-sold condition
which may occur from time to time
and support may hold prices tenn
porarily, but in our opinions, unques-
tfonably. wheat will sell lower.

RIVAL CANDIDATES
in FOURTH WARD

1t looks like there will be a warm
race for Alderman Clapps job in the
Fourth ward. One candidate has al
ready come out and it is understood
that another is likely to bob up any
day.
Il am out for the job and things are
coming my way fast said David
Shields this afternoon in talking with
a representative of The Forum. Mr..
Shields is already circulating a petit
ton among the voters of his ward and
xpects to file the manuscript in very
short time. This will not be his first
race for a public office.
The many friends of Jack Thorne in
the same ward are urging him to come
out and make a race. However, Mr..
Thorne is rather reluctant about com
ing to the front, but nevertheless a
number of his friends are persistent
in their efforts to have him make the
race
|. In the Fifth ward, the friends of
H. II. Aaler are behind him to make
a race. He stated to The Forum this
afternoon that he had not decided re-
garding the matter, but admitted that
he was being urged to run.
1t is understood that John Sond-
quist will make race for his seat in
the council in the Sixth ward. A num-
Der of friends of William Mills are
anxious to see him again in the coun-
ell and desire to see him come back.
1t looks like there will also be a
full field in the First ward if e. E. Cole
should make up his mind that he
would like to be in the council for a
few more years. Tony Peterson said
to The Forum reporter today, although
he was being urged by quite number
of friends to enter the arena. neverthe-
less he thought that some man, other
than himself, should run. Besides Mr..
Peterson there is another prospective
candidate in the First ward, who ia
still keeping in the background.
