An examination of the books by an
auditing committee shows the assets to
amount to approximately $780, 00.0
and the debts amount to not over $780,
100000, This situation has been brought
about very largely by climatic condi-
tons which have made 1t practically
impossible to turn the large amount of
wooden goods on hand into money. All
the bills and notes come due at this
time OF year and under ordinary con
dttions the manufactured goods are dis
posed Of and the payments for them
collected.
It was the intention to close the
mill Dec. "a, for the annual inventory
and the trustees have carried out this
line Of policy. All the help will be
paid off at once and the affairs Of the
company Strengthened out as rapidly
as the trustees can do SO.
If the mill Is closed down very long
it will be quite a serious thing for the
city n the employees. Sixty-five peo-
pie have been employed n the pay
roll was the largest in the city.

SUPREME COURT SYLLABUS
IN LUNDGREN CASE

Judge Hallam of the state supreme
| court wrote the opinion in the Lund-
gren case, one of the ~so-called minor
liquor cases tried before Judge Nye at
the last spring term Of the district
court and affirmed in the decision
handed down by the upper u yes
terday, a report of which was made
in this department yesterday, but In
the absence of a copy of the syllabus,
Marden, Witherow and Johnson, for
the defense, this morning. The sylla-
bus reads as follows: First
The discharge of the whole or part
Of q jury panel, and the summoning Of
a new one, rests in the oun discre-
ton Of the trial court. The fact that
special Veniremen were summoned
towns, cities and village: in the coun-
ty and that eight were summoned
from one village and others from
points near to 1t, Is not ground for
challenge to the panel, no bad faith,
fraud or oppression being establish
ed, and 1t not appearing that the per-
sons selected were not as a class fair
minded jurors.
Second-To lender a sale of liquor
to a minor unlawful, it Is not neces-
sary hat notice forbiddtng such sale
should previously have been given.
Third-The act Of the b~arkeeper in
selling liquor to a minor is the act OF
the proprietor; the proprietor must
pay the penalty for such sales made
by his b~arkeeper; the delinquency Of
the barkeeper is the only evidence re
quired to prove the guilt Of the pro-
prietor. The fact that the sale was
made without the knowledge or as
sent of the proprietor and contrary to
his institutions, furnishes no defense.
Order affirmed.
The points in the case of Toole,
which was certified UP, are considered
covered in the Lundgren opinion. The
Toole case was given no consideration
by the court. as it deemed itself with
out jurisdiction. The jury in the Toole
case disagreed so that County Attor-
ney Dosland is at liberty to move
another trial.

Enter-Dcean.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-It was the gossip
in the corn trade that the resting
orders which have been the sustaining
power in the market for more than a
week are being filled up. There IS
more bearish sentiment noticeable than
for some time. 1t was said that the
short interest has increased, also that
the longs are gradually weakening ana
that the market eventually will be put
in better shape by liquidation as there
has been none since last liquidation;
The average wheat operator attributed
the weakness in that market to apathy
on part of the trade in general and Is
inclined to believe that should corn de-
cline it would be hard to bull wheat
unless something new develops. Cash
sales wheat $4,000 bushels; corn $780,
900 bushels; oats 10000 bushels. NO
export sales reported at seaboard.

stubbornly around last nights closing
price in the face OF weakness in corn.
There has been no pear leader Of suffi-
Client courage to attack the c~oncentrat-
ed long interest and there has been
support afforded the market on the de-
cline. The news has been bearish. Out
side trade is exceedingly light and
with the local crowd sentiment Is
bullish.
Corn-Has been a big broad market
and large quantities have changed
hands especially around the closing
| figures. Commission houses and shorts
were eager buyers, but professionals
sold heavily and the leading short in
terest added materially to it's line. The
weakness in cash corn was against the
price of futures. Weather predictions
for the northern half of the belt indl-
Gates somewhat colder which should
stimulate both demand and movement,
If prices for futures work somewhat
lower liquidation by tired holders
might ensue. We would await such
opportunities on which purchases are
suggested.
Oats-Lost about 1-2c largely in SYM
pathy with corn. The decline has in
duced a freer movement which Is from
country elevators and not on part of
farmers.
