CHURCH NOR SHOW
HEARD THE ALARM
Motor in Play House Calls
Fargo's Firemen to the
Tabernacle.

Fargo. N. D., May 2.-The fire
o'clock last night. Wagons from the
central station were down Northern
Pacific emu and going north on
Broadway in short order. A moment
later the wagon from the south side
station came down Broadway.
The department wagons headed to-
ward the BILLY" Sunday tabernacle.
The report that the tabernacle was
on fire spread rapidly. People rush
ed to the scene and there was consid-
cradle excitement for a few moments.
Motor Causes the Trouble.
A small electric motor attached to
a a in the rear of the Savoy theater
was responsible for the excitement
and the fire call. The rear of the
Savoy theater Is within a few feet Of
the tabernacle. which at the time was
filled with men, women and children.
Audiences Not Awars of Fire.
The trouble caused by the blowout
of the motor caused a small fire which
had completely burned out when the
fremen arrived. Audiences in the
tabernacle and Savoy theater knew
nothing of the excitement without.
Precautions Are Taken.
Special care has been taken by Chief
Sutherland Of the fire department
to guard against a possible fire at the
Sunday tabernacle. Two lines of
hose, attached to hydrants were
stretched some days ago and are in
readiness for instant use in case of
a fire.

BARLEY, FLAX AND
RYE MOVEMENT
Barley Has Been Indifferent,
Flax Steady and Rye
Brisk.

Trade in barley was on the whole
of an indifferent character during the
last week. Choice to fancy mating
barley WAS very much wanted by
maltsters. but too littl. of grain Oh
that character was in any of the WvSt-
ern markets to meet requirements. IL
der the circumstances barley consum-
ers requiring high qualities We're COM
PEELED, as previously. to take the OF
ferings and do With them the best
they could. Market prices varied but
little in a general way. This grain is
not handled by grade. but by sample,
on which account each separate sale
is made directly on prices fixed by
judgment OF the values Of that par
ticular lot.
Receipts for the week in Minncapo-
lis were only 50 cars. against receipts
of 1872 cars in the same ime II Year
ago. The price range is mostlE from
about zoe per bushel to $40 which
range has been in play for MANY
weeks. ON some days the demand be-
ing more active, With smaller offerings,
samples within the n quoted. ilaNe
sole on certain days at prices higher
than on days With larger offerings. In
such n way II similar quality has fiuc-
tuated higher or lower accGrding to
the pressure of supply upon the mar
ket or the want of il. 1t is generally
understood by reports from the IN
terror that only the lower qualities re-
main to come into market after the
spring seeding. Doubts are entertain-
ed as to whether the coming crop may
not suffer much through the use of
seed of barley that may not g"rninatn.
Small Flax Movement.
Prices of flax nave beer rather
steady in the past week with Il ten
dency to firmncss, but Receipts have
been too light for the market TO sui
fer from too large offerings. None
seems to want a stored supply To car
ry forward owing To the uncertainties
of future prices and the quietness in
the oil trade. Receipts for the week
were 112 cars against 46 cars arriving
in the similar time last year. More
flax has been coming in the market in
the last few weeks thar was anticipate
ed earlier in the season showing that
dealers rather underestimated the
volume of the crop. While prices
were quoted for choice fax about s2.15
to $2.15 sale figures We're largely at a
range under 81 owing to much low
grade Of the samples disposed Of.
Rye Brisk.
tionary wheat markets, rye, the So
berest of all. took on something of
briskness in the last few days but was
not able to keep along with the more
active cereals and the few cars arriv-
ing dropped again into the quiescent

Asst. Supt. F. L. Wood of Washing
ton, D. c.. is expected in the city

Judge James w. Witten, will have
charge of the opening. The govern
ment has notified the 1850 people
who drew the first numbers to be on
hand to file, on the theory that about
400 of these people will drop out. In
the event that the first 1850 people
do not furnish enough applicants to
take the 1880 claims, probably an
other call will be issued.
The government has reserved a
large acreage of coal lands, so that
the total number of claims to be given
away will be between 1900 and 1900.
All of the filings will be made at
Minot. 1t was announced that fifty
