HAD So PINT. BOTTLES
Frank Mccullough Carried Suitcase
Which Contained a Lot of
FireWater.

- A man by the name of Frank Nc
Cullough was arrested this morning,
by officer Johnson, on Front street,
n is being held in the Jail until a
state warrant can be obtained against
him. The charge aaginst him is boot
Logging.
Mccullough was very much in
toxicated when taken in charge. He
carried a suitcase which aroused the
suspicious of the officer, as it was I'M
usually heavy. At the police station,
Mccullough asserted hat the case
contained a new suit Of clothes which
he had just purchased.
The suitcase was opened, and the
new suit of clothes" was found con
tanned in thirty-three pint bottles. 1t
was a dark brown suit. It's possess
sion is likely to entail considerable
trouble for the owner, who will appear
before the judge for his hearing to-
morrow, in all probability.

Brainerd, Mimi, Sept. 25.-"Mothers
who scold and slap their children and
tell them they are naughty n wick
ed and fools, when they ask about the
origin of life are criminals" Prof. T..
w. Shannon, lecturer on Social Hy-
giene, said before the State Fedora
ton of Women's clubs this morning.
eff mothers don't take this brutal
method, they tell their children one
of forty untruths, which is just as bad.
This is criminal delicacy. There Is not
a girl of s years of age or a boy of
z who has not obtained some informa-
ton about theories Of life from bad
sources.
Evil in Half Truths.
1T is not the truth told by a wise
teacher or a pure mother which hurts;
it is the half truths got in bad envi-
ronment. We nay find some truth
even in a 10 cent novel, but we are
going into the devils slop bucket to
get 1t.
"Five-sixths Of all erring girls w

the ignorance resulting from the re-
fusal of their mothers to tell them the
truths they should know.

questions. If parent keeps telling
him he is stupid or wicked, he will
eventually give mental consent to It,

DRIVES OFF WAGON
With $1,000 LOAD

Minneapolis, Sept. 25.-A team of
horses and a wagon loaded with
candy, cigars and groceries. the whole
valued at $1,000, were stolen off the
street in a daylight robbery at Wash
ington and Marquette today.
The team belonged to the La Belle
Transfer Co.
The theft Of a team from the street
in this manner, while uncommon In
Minneapolis, Is one Of the chief indus
tries of the lower strata Of New York's
underworld. Robberies of this kind
are among the chief concerns of the
police.
James Jamison, the driver of the La
Belle wagon, had gone into a store and
had left his team n wagon alone.
Ten minutes later, when he left the
store, q, traffic policeman old him he
had seen a man drive or with the
team. Not knowing that a robbery

FAVOR MECHANICAL
STOkERS FOR PLANT

The water and light commission Of
Moorhead have had under c~onsidera-
ton for some time ways and
TO allow the use Of a cheaper grade Of
coal at the electric light and water
plant in view Of the increasing price;
OF Pocahontas coal, which has to be
used in order to ensure a certainty of
maintaining the proper amount Of
steam In case of an emergency. The
commission, after casting about and
pursuing Investigations, and obtaining
valuable data from other plants, reach
ed the conclusion that the problems
which they are up against are likely
to be solved blythe use of the latest
approved make Of underfeed stokers.
By the use Of the latter it is estimated
that it is possible to make a saving of
at least $1,000 in fuel cost. at the
Moorhead plant annually and at the
meet n emergency with the use Of a
cheaper grade Of coal-even screen
ings nay be used.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the city council at a special
session held last night by the water
and light commission and so convinc-
ing were the figures and arguments in
favor the use of the underfeed make
of mechanical stokers thai the city
clerk was authorized to advertise for
bids to furnish the city of Moorhead
with underfeed stokers for two 202
horsepower boilers.
When the bids were opened for the
supply of coal for the current year,
the water and light commission no
ticed the gradual increase in the
price Of coal, which has been used at
the plant, and it requireds only a little
figuring to establish the fact that some
steps must be taken to allow the use
Of a class of fuel the price. of which
was not being increased every year by
the big coal operators. If the bids are
satisfactory stokers will be ordered
forthwith.

high school, that a high school edu-
cation had become a very serious
question with both parents and pupils.
The best answer comes from high
school graduates everywhere. The
high school must be the foundation
for all that comes after. Prof. e. 7.
Reed, in In address to the high school
two years ago, urged every pupil
present to stay with the high school
until they finished it's course. He said
that he felt certain that his high
school course was of greater benefit to
himself than any other part Of his
educational training. He said that
every young person should have that
first II possible. and then go to some
OF the many special schools for special
training. He a hat it was a, great
mistake to go to the special schools
without the well laid foundation of the
high school course. This testimony
might be duplicated by that of almost
all Of the authorities on educational
training and should have weight when
we are trying to measure the value
of the high school and it's work.

Evenino Grain Letter,

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Wheat: Further
LIQUIDATION carried wheat into new low
ground and the close is again at a loss
this time of about u cent from thei
] .vious nights figures. A continual
lion of the heavy spring wheat move
lIent and a hedging pressure resulting
therefrom has been too much for the
limited buying power and a down
grade market has been the result.
There Is every evidence that the
movement of spring wheat in the
northwest this side Of the border will
op off sharply next week, but the
compulsory marketings in the Canadi-
IN northwest are likely to continue
Until weather seriously interferes.
I.Ieanwhile the local market is forced
10 take hedging sales and the already
N1rdensome short interest is being
i..aterially added to. Cash wheat is in
healthy shape eve with the curtail-
tl buying power incident to the tariff
,langes. We believe a sharp recovery
50 overdue.
Corn has suffered from further Sc
we're liquidation and closed tonight
with a loss of 1Rc. There has been a
drastic house cleaning and many weak
holdings have been put out on the
market. There was no support af-
forded hat was noticeable and the Of
ferings at all times have been liberal.
There was some talk of freer offerings
Of corn by the country but not general
enough to cause much comment. The
future action of the market largely
depends on whether liquidation has run
it's course 1t looks to us as If it was
diminishing and that declines from
this level will meet a growing buying
tower.
Oats have lost about &c for the day
largely from the same causes as corn.
Liquidation by holders and the con-
ttnued weakness in the cash situation
were the principal influences.

Russia: Our agent cables that there
are still big fleets of steamers loading
in the Black sea and the AZoff while

every reason to think that exports will
continue on a large scale.
Buenos Ayres: Wheat closed steady
