SELF VISITED
BY SAFE BLOWERS

Harvey, N. D., Sept. 23.-The little
town of SELF, situated about eight
miles north of Harvey on the new cut
off of. the Great Northern railway,
was visited by burglars Sunday night
and the safes of the Self Mercantile
Cd. and of the Kiser Pool Hal We're
blown open and about $40 taken from
each place.
The former place was entered nrst
since a Ratchet, taken Stherefrom, was
found at the pool hall. Entrance was
made at the above store Dy cutting
out a section Of glass in he door n
the spring lock inside opened. The
safe here. as we'll al at the pool hail,
had hut one small hole drilled in It
nv the side Of the combination knob,
and powder, secured from Q gun
shells taken from the shelves, was
poured In and touched off. The door
of the safe was completely wrecked,
and the amount above distracted. AT
the pool hall across the street, one
side Of the safe front was sprung
open sufficiently by the explosion to
admit OF the opening of the door. This
exnlosion started a fire in the contents
of the safe. and evidently in the con-
fusion Of e~xtinguishing the same, the
cracksmen became frightened and
made but a partial examination of the
contents, since the sheet iron box
containing the amount overlooked was
but partly pried open, after being
taken from the safe.
Entrance to this place was made
through the unfinished bowling alley
In connection. The tools for the
operations were obtained from a we'll
digging outfit near by.
The robbery took place sometime at
ter 12 o'clock, since parties up at that
hour report everything quiet at that
time, and a clerk of the store says the
store was all right.
Andrew Nicholson. a liveryman who
slept in a shack near by, says he heard
both excursions but attributed to other
causes and made no alarm. No clues
were left by the marauders, and the
job is supposed to have been the work
Of transients, though not Of profess
SIGNALS.

BILL WILL
:. TAKE MONTH

washington, D. c.. Sept. 23.-With
prospects for an extended discussion
or the administration currency bill.
the senate banking committee contin-
ued to hear Samuel Untermyer of
New York discuss the measure. The
weeks and probably a month will pass
before the bill will be brought into
the senate.
Untermyer, endorsing the bills
principle, suggested a number of
amendments which he thought would
strengthen it. 11
Currency Yesterday. @
An attempt to hurry along, consider
atlon Of the currency bill in the SEN
ate banking n currency committees
talled yesterday at the end of a day OF
aesultory questioning Of Samuel I'm
my VINO was counsel for the Pu-
10 money trust committee Of the last
congress. Senator Shafroth of Col
orado tried vainly to secure an agree
ment to close the hearings before the
committee on Saturday, Oct. 4. No
other member Of the committee has
reported his Investigation.
Reed of Missouri, Bristow
or Kansas n Weeks Of Massachusetts
declared emphatically against any at
tempt to limit the consideration of he
bill. 0
I think other members of the COM
m1ttee are beginning to see." said Sen
ator Weeks. that this bill will take
up most Of the fall, and I propose to
call up in the committee soon the reso-
luton L introduced in the senate to all
low the bill to go over until the regu-
lar session next winter
Senator Reed declared that hearings
were bringing out points of the bill,
which showed the necessity for amend
ment. and that he was in favor of
nearing every n who had any i'm
portant suggestions to offer.
Senator Bristow insisted that the
small country banker should be heard.
and Senator Weeks said hat he had
requests from six Massachusetts
bankers, who wished to appear before
the committee.
In his discussion Of the bill Mr..
Untermyer criticized vigorously the
provisions outlining the character of
commercial paper to be used as a basis
for currency, declaring that the defini-
ton was "hOpelessly loose" He said.
however. it would be advisable to.
permit the issue of a certain amount
of currency on cotton and grain ware
house receipts.
Mr.. Untermyer suggested that maxi
ing good commercial paper a basis for
currency would result in depriving
SLock exchange SPECTATORS or the
funds now sent to New York for in
vestment by country banks.
Senators Hitchcock and Bristow,
throughout the day, insisted that the
bill should confer on member banks
in the system, as a matter of right,
the authority to go to the federal re-
serve banks and demand the ~rediscount'
of their paper. Mr.. Untermyer oppos-
ed this and also vigorously condemned
a scheme proposed by Senator Bristow
whereby the regional reserve banks
would be eliminated and the, member
banks allowed to go directly to the
government to secure security on their
commercial paper. ..
The lawyer agreed with Senator
Nelson that the reserve notes should
be made, redeemable in gold and not
Gin gold or lawful money as provid-
ed by the bill.

CONF ERCIAL CLUB
MEETING TONIGHT
BOOSTED TAXES, NEW SCHOOL
BUILDING, AUDITORIUM, MOOR
HEAD BAKER ROAD, GOOD
ROADS AND OTHER LIVE MAT
TIERS WILL BE DISCUSSED.

In the call for the first fall meeting
of the commercial club Of Moorhead,
to be held at the rooms tonight, and
which members received in their mail
this morning, from Secretary Wright,
was cited a number Of live matters
which will be presented for considera-
ton n discussion. Since the issuance
of he call, another important matter
has bobbed up and 1t was suggested
by the action of the city board Of tax
levy at a meeting held at the city
clerks office yesterday and it has
caused considerable comment. The
recommendation by the board of tax
levy that a levy of 8 mills be made,
which is alleged to be al increase of
III mills over the city levy for sever
al years past. The items included in
the recommendation are as follows:
lIeneral tuna mills
Public library .............. 2 mills
ClLy parks mill
The levy for the library was in
creased u mill and a similar one for
a band was dropped for this year.
AS stated the action of the board
has created comment and a probable
question which will arise at the meet
ing of the commercial club his even
ing will be, why the necessity of
boosting the taxes when there is such
a wealth Of funds in the hands of the
treasurer and one prominent member
Of the club made the remark. that the
sooner the charter was amended so
hat accumulated funds of the city
could be devoted to the payment Of the
expenses Of the city the better for the
Taxpayers"
In~nocently, perhaps, the board of
levy mas started something by it's
action yesterday, and the sequel may
come out at the commercial club meet
ing tonight. Among a lot of other
which are on the s~ecretary's
desk just aching to be talked about are
increased membership, the erection
Of a new school building, a home for
the club, an auditorium, the Moor
head-Baker o and the appoint
ment Of delegates to attend a mass
good roads convention at Winona, and
Mr.. Wright says there are a number
Of very important communications
which are in his letter file.

Lincoln took a bracelSand by the good
work of Whitmore and Yoder fhey
were able to come out on top.
The second game was won by HaW-
thorne by the score of 81 to o.. Al
though the Agassiz, led by Rice

will ascertain how many cows each

cent loss for the day. Northwest mar
kets were firm early and there was a
better cash demand. Sentiment is
radically bearish, the short interest
a been heavily increased and prices
have had a decline to a point where
a good rally is due.
Corn: Has lost ground today,
closing Y cent lower than last night.
1t has shown decided strength in
view of the break in wheat and oats.
Receipts continue to show a decreas-
ing tendency. Farmers showing little
tendency to sell corn and on all de-
clines commission houses are good
buyers for country account. Leading
longs seem confident Of their posi-
ton and are not pressing o sup
porting h market actively. We eX-
pect higher prices on the cash demand
and weather.
Oats: Developed marked weakness
on increasing heaViness of the situa-
ton in cash and the continuation Of
liberal receipts. The dispatches from
Washington indicate that the powers
nave come to an agreement Of 6 cents
duty on oats without any counter
vailing duty and there vas talk of
Canadian oats coming here as a re-
suit. The cash situation is weak
enough as it is and the enormous Wis
ibIe acts as a wet blanket to any up
turn. Until the visible decreases ma
terially futures will not be attractive.
