TNHE Chicago players realized now
IL what they were up against and it
affected their entire playing. Taylor,
the first batter up for Cresco. drove
ball high and dry over the wagons in
center field into small creek.
The CTesco players now took heart
when they saw they had sure thing
on their tricky opponents and COM
were catching balls on their fingers be-
fore the game, were now catching them
on their shins and bounding them out
into the field Radbouruc, who was al
WAYS good batter, drove liners and
srouuders through their "lace cur
tain'' a ipfeld.
Everything was going against Deco
rah heller SHELTER. The first inning
netted Cresco seven ruus, All through
Rad kept striking the Chicago crowd
out aud TAYLOR, with his kidding. kept
telling them the kind Of balls that were
coming. The Decorah crowd saw they
commenced to leave the field,
The game finally ended up by a score
Of 90 to 0. When the game ended, the
Cresco people went stark mad. They
took Rad and Tavlor of the field on
! their shoulders, They pulled Farmer
jenkins off his hay; they took the hay
as q souvenir by the order OF Jenkins
and lit it, np as a bonfire by his orders
TO commemorate the victory. Rad aud
TAYLOR were brought into the city and
made heroes. They paid those two men
and very well. They kept them up in
that country for while before they
| let them go, but il settled forever any
sTiuging in of outside players in that
| part OF the country

The Blind Spot in Every Eye.

Christian Herald: In every eye
there is a little spot that Is
totally blind. Young eyes, old
eyes, sharp eyes, dull eyes, blue, brown
or black eyes-all of them, ever the
most perfect, have, in each retina, a
little round spot which is wholly blind
both to brightness and color. This
spot is located just at the point where
the optic nerve enters, and is approx
mately One-tWelfth of an inch wide.
Several interesting experiments can
be made to prove the presence of this
blind spot. For example, cover the
right eye with the hand, or a bandage,
and gaze with the left eye steadily at
a point on the wall or screen about
seven feet distant. Let another person
be seated against the wall on your
ieft-hand side, in such a position that
his forehead is on a level with the
point at which you are gazing, and
his nearer cheek about twenty inches
distant from it. Do not turn your eye
ball, but gaze steadily as at first, and
his face will entirely disappear, and
the wall will seem to be perfectly
blank. If you spread a sheet of paper
and the wall and note the points at
which a pencil moved back and forth
by another person appears and disap-
pears, you will be able to make an
accurate map of the blind spot as pro-
jeCted on the wall.
Another experiment is performed by
painting nine large letters in three
vertical columns Of three letters each
upon a shet of paper. Hold the paper
at such a distance and in. such a posi-
ton before the eye that the central
letter of the square falls within the
blind spot. while the surrounding eight
letters are still visible.

EXPERIMENTAL
POTATO GROWING

Prof. A. r, Koehler, potato expert
of the Minnesota Agricultural college,
is still in the city at work on the
compilation of his seasons demon
stratiOn reports, which are to be pre-
scented in detail to the lay County Po-
tatO- Growers associations annual
meeting in January. But for the CO.
operation Of the association the ex-
perimental work under the auspices
and with the aid of the agricultural
college could not have been carried
on this year, as there was no fund
from which the college could draw for
such work., which was important to
be done this ear. The work will prove
important because it means the better
ment of the seed potato stock in Clay
county, and when that fact is known
to he eastern and southern consum-
ers of seed potatoes from this county,
it will mean additional reliability of
the products of the farms of Clay
~Sunty growers. If the experiments
only shOw an increase in value to the
extern of only 10 cents an acre it will
meap much, but as a matter of fact
the reports of Mr.. Koehler are likely
to show several dollars in increase of
value to the lands.
Instances will be shown where the
seed yield was almost twice as much
as the seed yield of another man who
was sid by side. In every case good
seed with Culls side by side emon-
strated the yield of the culls to be
much less than the good seed to a
very large extent. Mr.. Koehler will
make his reports by means of large
charts, showing the experimental
work pursued with the aid of the Clay
county association,

LEADING MEN OF THE STATE,

WARD N. D. GOVERNOR.

The leading men of the state. re-
CARELESS of party utilization, are unit
ing in the movement to land a cabinet
position for Governor BuRke during
the approaching administration of
President-elec Wilson. Sen. Wesley
C. Mcdowell of Marion has the move
ment in charge and says it is taking
definite form.
Senator Mcdowell was in the city
this week attending the meeting Of
the North Dakota Better Farming as
ISOLATION and seemed very much
pleased with the manner in which all
the leading statesmen and public
spirited men of North Dakota are
taking hold of the idea of furthering
the interests OF the retiring governor.
Letters have been received by Sen
ator Mcdowell from Lieutenant
Governor Burdick, Senator diversion,
Speaker Hanley, ELECT

publican ranks endorsing Governor
Burke for secretary of the interior.
Senator Mcdowell says that the non
partisan meeting to crystalize the
Burke sentiment will soon be held in.

delegated to go to Trenton to call up
on Governor Wilson upon his return
home from Bermuda for the holidays.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Wheat: Opening
prices were about steady and the low
point of the day was made at that time,
the market thereafter ruling strong
and advancing and closing about 3-4c
higher h a last night. Evidence Is ac-
CURRY on the part of milIers, not at
lake ports. who apparently are looking
FORWARD for supplies. 1t must be borne
in mind that there is an enormous ter
ritory which was deficient in the yield
of winter wheat and which during the
next four or five months must come to
our market for their necessary re-
quirements. Our stock Is not by any
means an excessive one and coufu
readily be depleted by a de%Aand from
the sources above referred 10. This
market is not at a point OF values great
enough to draw supplies from outside
sources. Prices have had a very dras-
crop year n liquidation has been most
thorough, and from every point of view
1t seems to us as though 1t was most
reasonable to at least, conservatively
operate on the long side Of the mar
ket.
Corn-Prices changes throughout he
session were again within narrow linn
its, the market ruling comparatively
trm, outside market were steady to
higher for the cash property. We do
not feel that there VIII be any i'm
pOrtant change in prices at the NOM
ent, but with any continued strength
in wheat, declines may be stayed.
Oats-The market showed an easier
tone for the December delivery owing
to the recent heavy covering by Local
shorts. Receipts continue of small
volume and we do not see any prospect
for an Immediate decline.

FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
OF MOORHEAD HOLDS BEST AN
YEARS OF EXISTENCE. EN-
COURAGING PROGRESS SHOWN.

The feature of the annual gathering
Of members and others attending the
First Congregational church was the
~sociability and good spirit exhibited
by the nearly 800 in attendance at the
supper which was the prelude to the
business meeting. The men of he
church were wholly and solely respons-
IDLE for the providing and service of
the meal. A. NJ. Hopeman was chair
mar of the committee in charge of the
arrangements and J.. A. Huntoon was
responsible for the service, which went
like clockwork. The two gentlemen
had m~arshaled their forces which NOV
ed like ar army of veterans and over
Z3O people were splendidly served the

replete with every detail which. go to
harmoniZe with the principal dish. The
beef was perfectly cooked under the
supervision of the chef of the Hotel
Comstock with the compliments Of
Manager Mahoney, and such beef, the
best obtainable in this or any other
market.
The seventeenth annual meeting of
the church followed the serving of the
dlnner and 1t was held in the Church
auditorium, and according to the older
members 1t was the best attended gath
erlng within the history of the church
ana never was there so prominent a
ulSplay OF interest in the consideration
OF the annual business. This meeting
was the beginning of the third year OF
the pastorate of the Rev. H. A. Kernen.
Within the past two years the member
ship of the church body has been
doubled and the constituency of the
church has been largely increased. G.
A. Ballard presided oven the business
meeting and called for the reports from
the heads of the different departments
all of which were very encouraging
and disclosed the church to be in the
very best of condition. The recon-

SWENsoN is SAFE.
Man Thought to Have succumbed te
the Cold Reported Alive.

G"S SS'1 nSPOTESQ AllNSs
Ole Swenson, the man who left the
city. late Tuesday night for his home
in Moland township, in with
Tom Olson, has reported his where
abouts and with the exception of a
badly frozen face and one ear, he is
all right. He was seen by the
of one Of the elevators at Sabin, yes
terday morning about 8 o'clock on the
streets. hatless. 1t is alleged that when
the men left Moorhead they were in
a badly intoxicated condition and pos
itively refused advice not to undertake
so cold a journey. 1t appears the men
had separate teams attached to wagons
and one was tied behind the other. 1t
is said that Olson does not know when
Swenson left the wagon, but he sup
posed he was safe at home, twelve
miles northeast of Moorhead on the
Buffalo river. Those who saw Swenson
at Sabin yesterday fear he will lose
one of his ears as a result. of the dare
devil attempt to drive home in the con-
dition he was said to be in and in
weather conditions so severe. The fact
that the men are alive, it is said by
those who know, may be attributed to
the intelligence of the horses, who well
knew the road and were without the
runaway habit.

Speculative GOsSIn

Chicago, Dec. 12.-SpecuIatOrs who
were bullish on grains yesterday said
after the close that the decline from
the top prices was chiefly due to the
break In stocks. The rally in the lat
ter, however, at the last made them
feel that there is still nope. 1t was said
local professionals were out of their
wheat but only part of the early buy
erS of corn had unloaded. 1t was the
belief that any Improvement in the
stock market would tend to create
more confidence among holders of
grain. Bears on all grains regarded
bulge as only temporary and said that
advantage should be taken to make
sales. Conservative commission houses
advise a trading position on all grains.

FINDS WOMAN
FALSE MOTHER
Signed Waiver When Mrs.
Szabo's Will Was Probated

New York, Sept. e.-The authorities
New York, where Mrs. Rosa Menschik
Szabo was drowned on July 16 while
rowing in a boat with Burton w. Glib
son, her lawyer and self announced
executor Of her estate, declared that
they were awaiting the results Of an
investigation for a criminal motive BY
the authorities of New York county be-
fore taking steps IN Orange county to
prove that Mrs. Szabo was murdered.
Efforts to obi Z evidence Of a motive
to lay before the district attorney here
were begun through the joint activities
of the Austro-Hungarian and British
%consulates and the Pinkerton Detective
agency. The investigators stated that
they hoped to supply the district attor-
ney with evidence that there had been
fraud in the proceedings by which Glib
son procured the probate Of an alleged
will of Mrs. Szabo soon after her death,
making him her executor and leaving
her $4,000 estate to her mother, Mrs.
Petronella Mensctk, from whom Gibson
produced what purported to be a wa1v-
err Of citation a few days after Mrs.
| Szabo's death. According to the IN
vesttgators, Mrs. Menschik had dice In
Vienna two years before.
1t was stated by counsel for the
Austro-Hungarian consulate that de-
tectives had traced to her home in
Brooklyn the woman who signed the
waiver of citation for Gibson, and they
hoped to prove her an impostor and
perhaps produce her In person.
