every means has been used to bring the
track into the smoothest condition possible.
Dr. wadsworth Warren, manager OF the
Buick racing team, recently paid a visit
to the speedway to investigate the report
that the track had become almost perfect
under the wear Of the test cars.
After carefully inspecting the course,
. especially at the turns, he said:
II used to think that the brick track
was hard on tires and that years Of wear
would not improve It, but l must say now
that the surface appears to be entirely
different than It was even last summer at
the July race meeting. 1t was better than
at first then, but now | think there is not
a superior surface in the country.

MONSTER RALLY
HELD LAST NIGHT
WAS CLIMAX OF SERIES ON ANTI
SALOON LEAGUE MEETINGS
HELD YESTERDAY - YOUNG
DAHL AND WALDEN WERE THE
PRINCIPAL SPEAKERS.

The climax of a series OF meetings
held in Moorhead yesterday, under the
auspices Of the anti-saioon league Of
the city, was monster meeting at
Concordia college, last night. Every
available seat was filled. One reason
for the big audience was the fact that
many people wanted to hear for them
selves the fair thing expressed for
their city.
The principal speakers were p. J..
Youngdahl and Rev. c. walden. Pre-
ceding the addresses, in the advocacy
Of county option, devotional exercises
were conducted by the Rev. H. A. Kerr
nan of the Congregational church and
the Rev. John Peterson of the Nor
wegian church. President Shurscn of
the college was in the chair.
The musical features of the meeting
were contributed by Miss Hermanson
and Miss Olson, members of the faculty
in the department of music at Concor-
dia college; and the Misses Bridston
and Brathovde.
During a review of the great liquor
question, Mr.. Youngdahl quoted many
statistics and he said that the LIQUOR
question is here and must be solved,
that this Is an economic age, "but IL
quor is not only an economic question.
1t is moral, social, religious as well
as economic question. If this question
was settled, all questions would be set
tied, including the labor question"
Closing his address Superintendent
Youngdahl with a display of marked
earnestness apologized for the mistakes
which league speakers had made in
saying that Moorhead was in a poor
shape financially. He desired then and
there to make a full retraction for
those statements, however, he believed
that the anti-saloon element was in the
minority in the city or there would
have been some improvements along

The DEFENSE GETS
READY FOR WORK

Bismarck, N. D., April 10.-Counsel
for the defense was busy yesterday at
the Mckenzie hotel preparing an out
line of the exact course of procedure
that will be pursued during Judge
Cowan's portion of the impeachment
trial. It was stated that already sew
eral of the witnesses have arrived in
the city coming in on last nights
trains, so that they can be ready to
go on the stand.
Just who will be the first witness
has not been decided upon as counsel
be first answered. 1t is understood,
charges will be responded to first, and
that the delayed case may be taken
up in their order just as the prosecu-
ton brought them out.
What incident in the charges test
fed to in the evidence the senate has
heard in regard to drunkenness will
be answered first. Is not yet clear in
the minds of Judge Cowan or his
counsel at this time, though it is pre-
dicted that in all probability the in
cident on the station platform brought
out in the testimony of Mr.. Fulkerson,
when it was stated that Judge Cowan
was brought to catch the afternoon
east bound Great Northern train in a
drunken condition, and had to be as
sisted into the coach by three men in
Guiding his court stenographer, Mr..
Taylor.
If not the station platform incident,
the first charge answered May be the
Hotel Cramond incident at Rugby and
the matter of the missing hotel reg
listers and severed leaves. 1t was stat
ed yesterday by one of the counsel for
the defense that detailed notes had
been made on the testimony of each
witness so far introduced, and that a
witness had been subpoenaed for every
charge and instance to refute what
may have been brought out that was
apparently detrimental to the accused
in this case.
It was understood that Attys. F. T..
Cuthbert and w. NJ. Anderson, both Of
Devils Lake, will be put on the stand
by the defense and examined by Tracy
Bangs in regard to many Of the de-
Iayed cases. charges with which they
are both thoroughly familiar, having
acted as counsel in several of them
themselves IL Is pToDdDl6 that poIu
these attorneys may be questioned in
regard to certain Of the drunkenness
charges at Devils Lake also.
Counselor p. J. McGlory was the only
one OF the defense who left the city
over Sunday, having been called out Of
the city Saturday afternoon on i'm
portant personal business. He re-
turned today and will be active in the
preparation of the outline of the
features to be brought out as the testi-
mony Of the defense.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, April 10.--The wheat mar
ket opened higher and ruled firm in
the main throughout the session, with
prices after the publication of the gov
eminent report. The upturn in the
market was largely due to the action
in the May future. While the per-
centage shown in the government re-
port was lower than generally ex-
pected, the estimate of yield as given
by the department could scarcely have
been construed as in any way bullish.
Tomorrow being a holiday in this
market advantage Of that fact was no
doubt taken to force shorts to cover.
The crop outlook in every way could
not be better, all conditions showing
great Improvement since the govern
ment figures were completed. There
is absolutely no Improvement in the
cash demand, and it is not fair to pre-
sumo with the enormous supplies be-
ing offered each week by other ex-
porting countries, that this country
will be called upon to enter the field
as a shipper during the balance Of the
present crop year. We consider the
market one which is liable to sharp
changes in price, owing to unnatural
speculative conditions rather than to
the normal and natural conditions
which surround 1t at the present time
and which in our opinion are bear
ish.

the suit for damages, Rooster VS.. City
or Moorhead. A copy has been served
upon Attorney Russell and the paper
will be sent to Judge Nye, who this

A big meeting of the Moorhead lodge,
A. o. U. W., is scheduled for tonight.
Owners OF automobiles in Moorhead
are considering the formation of an

Mrs. H. M. Stanford, formerly Of
this city, now of Chicago, writes a

THE FUNNY SIDE.

Bismarck, N. D.. April 1O.--On ac-
count of the many delayed cases cited
in the testimony brought out by the
prosecution during the last week, there
has not been so much of humorous
vein in the impeachment proceedings
against Judge John r, Cowan There
was one little incident In the galleries
the other day, however, that caused
quite ripple of laughter.
A visitor at the trial. had Just come
in the senate gallery and taken a
seat. He did not yet know the two
distinguished attorneys. All he had
understood from the newspaper re-
ports that both the leading counsel
were brothers and members of a dis
tinguished family
Tracy Bangs. with his partly bald
head. was sitting next Judge Cowan
and his associate counsel on one side
Of the chamber, and George A. Bangs,
with his full head of black hair. oc-
cupied a conspicuous position on the
other surrounded by the board of man
ayers and his advisory counsel Mr..
SinIler.
The stranger in the gallery leaned
over to neighbor, who happened to
be Editor John T. Charnley of The
Kenmare News. and asked:
(which is Tracy Bangs and which
IS George A. Bangs?"
George Bangs is the man with
bangs" answered the witty editor In
his characteristic dry way, "and Tracy
Bangs is the man without bangs"

FRED GARNER
FOUND GUILTY

Danville, ILL.,, April 10.--Fred Garner
charged with the murder Of Mrs. Elsie
Cochrane. was found guilty by the jury
in circuit court this morning and sent
enced to twenty years in the peniten-
tiary.
May be a Sensation.
The jury at a. m. was believed to
be hopelessly hung. 1t was stated at
that time that the jury was still IL to
/ for conviction.
Yesterday afternoon, one Of the best
known business men in the city stated
that if there was hung jury or a
conviction he would go to the attorney
for the defense and tell him that he
knew man who had owned a horse
which wore shoes similar to those
worn by the Garner horse: that he
had disposed of the horse shortly after
the murder and that he had had his
buggy reprinted.
He also said that the man, whom
he declined to name, had been a close
friend of Mrs Cochrane and at one
time had knocked a man down on the
stairs of the Cochrane residence. The
fear of publicity has prevented him
from making public this information
before he says If he does as he stated
there will probably be a sensation, as
this testimony will undoubtedly be
used to appeal for new trial.

GRADING STREET
FOR PAVEMENT
ENGINEERING CORPS Is AT WORK
GETTING A GRADE FOR FIRST
AVENUE NORTH TO PREPARE
SPECIFICATIONS FOR PAVING
OF THE STREET.

A pair of assistants from the ofice
of City Engineer Anders started at
work today preparing a grade for First
avenue north between Fifth street and
Roberts street.
At the last meeting of the city coun-
ell 1t was decided that the engineer Of
the city should prepare plans and spe-
cificaions for the paving of the ave.
nue. between the two streets named.
The property owners along the street
are not agreed as to what kind of
paving shall be used. and bids will be
advertised for three different kinds of
paving. Just what will be put down
is not yet known.
1t is necessary that grade be estab-
lished before the work can be done or
the specifications for the job completed.
1t is for this reason that the engineers
are now engaged in a survey Of the

At meeting of the city council Of
Fergus Falls, to canvass the vote OF
the election held last Tuesday, reso-
luton was adopted declaring that IL
cense had carried. for the reason that a
majority Of all votes cast at the cleo

that in view the council considered
itself at liberty to issue licenses for the
retail sale OF intoxicants. The city
attorney says that the state law does
not give the city right to vote on

time in hunting up the fellow as he
was determined to fathom the whole

theft of the coat If there was one. The
man was found this afternoon and his
story was proved to be simply con-
cocted affair which some men seem to
delight in pulling off. The mans coat
was found in the place, and his grip
was found in another, and close ques-

did not have $500 or anywhere near it,
