of them took place last might, while
there will be more this evening, with
others tomorrow evening.
This is the season of the year when
the Sunday schools of the different
houses of worship are a little more
crowded than on other occasions, and
the youngsters are welcome even
though it is sometimes suspected that
some of them are attending more on
the promise of good things that will
follow rather than for their liking for
the Sunday school at this particular
time of year, rather than at other
times.
The. children of the First Baptist
evening, and the auditorium was
crowded. . Santa made his yearly visit
and was greeted IL the warmest kind
of a manner by the youngsters and

of music and Rotations and dialogues

idea is hat it is more blessed to give
than to receive and over $3.50 Were
collected during the year for this serv-
ice. The greater part of this money
goes to the children's home n the
county hospital, for these who are in
need. Following the collection idea
there was a fine programme rendered
which consisted of music and read
ings.
A" the First Congregational church
last evening the Christmas exercises,
accompanied by a. big tree, took place.
The, church was nicely decorated with
the colors of the day, red, green and
white and the house vas filled to
overfowing. Every child in the Sun
day school received a present from the
hands of. Santa Claus himself and
after this was over there was, a nice
programme. of song and music which
was listened to with attention.
At Gethsemane cathedral there will
be the Christmas services for the
children Thursday evening.

1t was not long after the arrival of
Chief of Police Swanson of Valley City
in town, this morning, before he laid
his hands on an alleged thief whom
he suspected was making this city his
rendezvous. g.
I Immediately on his arrival Chief
Swanson enlisted the assistance OF
Chief of Police O'Laughlin of this city
n the two at once started out in
quest of Harold Christensen, who
was wanted at Valley City to answer
the charge of stealing a furlined over
coat, valued at $40, said to have been
stolen from a tailoring establishment
at Valley City last evening. Hearing
the man had left the city on train No.
s last night. Chief Swanson took the
next train for Fargo N Moorhead.
Descriptions were given the police of
both cities, but the fact that the man
wanted was an habitual boozer he was
more likely to be found in this city
and hat theory vas the correct. AS
far as could be ascertained Christian
son only made one attempt to dispose
of the overcoat in Moorhead and that
was at the establishment of s.. P.

HILDRETH LOST
SEPARATE SUIT

Judge Pollock was again affirmed by
the supreme court when that body
handed down a decision denying NJ, A.
Hildreth the right of Intervention in
the much ~entangled filtration suit in
the district court last spring.
Colonel Hildreth took the case as
for City Treasurer Mitchell,
who dismissed his attorney while he
was on the witness stand on the
grounds that his lawyer was endeavor-
ing to inject a lot of things of a politi-
cal nature in the trial which had no
bearing there, when he claimed to be
merely acting for the city.
The city treasurer felt he was simp-
ly being used as a foil for his attorney
TO whip some of the City's politicians
his shoulders, and he refused to
proceed with the testimony. Colonel
Hildreth then brought suit against the
treasurer for $3.50 attorneys fees and
was recently given SIS by the jury for
his services, and he applied to the SUI
preme court as an interviewer. The
syllabus of the court follows

mandamus proceeding, after a general
demurrer has been ~interposed to the
answer in the case and argued by
counsel, even though a decision has
not been rendered thereon. Especially

Grain Letter,

Chicago. Dec. 24-Wheat-Prices
opened a shade easier, ruling within
narrow limits. the general trend, how
ever, being lower. We are inclined to
look for a rather narrow market, but
Thursdays receipts should show a
large total and as all foreign markets
will be closed. there will be no cable
influences. The fac hat the north
western markets continue to drag as
compared with our own, leads US to
feel that no permanent advance can
take place in our own market, with
possible pressure coming from the
northwest.
Corn-The market was distinctively
heavy throughout the session. Re-
ceipts finally beginning to show up in
good volume, while the cash demand
shows no Improvement. The compare
tive irmness in wheat undoubtedly
helped to hold corn, but the situation
at the moment looks as If lower prices
must prevail.
Oats-The market was lower in all
positions with h~eaviness in the cash
and December. We think that within
a short time receipts will increase and
the demand is certainly lessening.

Proposed County Assessor Law.

One paper which strongly recon-
mends. the passage of the proposed
county assessor law is The Detroit
Record, and it does so in the follow
ing terms in the current issue:
Under the present laws an assessor
is subjected more or less to local IN
~fiuences; he is brought in a position
where he must gouge into the pockets
of friends, and it is simply asking too
much Of human nature to expect that
he can be impartial. The county as
SCISSOR would be more removed from
these influences and he would be more
impartial to the county as a unit, n
the arraying of one section against an
other (such as was recently done in
Becker county,, would be eliminated.
The valuation of property, both real
and personal, and it's method of list
ing for taxation purposes under the
present system, is one of the rotten
est features of our absolutely putrtd
system. No one expects it to be n
forced-even to the extent of taxing 1t
for so per cent of it's marketable Valu-
ation-hence it is not enforced. We
are of the opinion that a higher valua-
ton would mean a lower ratio and the
benefits secured by having as nearly an
equitable taxation as possible. would
even have a tendency to lower the rate.
