Sheriff Nedreloe and deputies, and the
MinOt police department. located ap-
prsximately $1,000 worth Of whiskey
which had been brot to Ward county
in good time for the New Years fes-
tivities.
Mr.. Herigstad had received the tip
that an auto load of whiskey was en-
route to Minot from Montana Satur-
day. He conferred with Sheriff Ned
reloe and two autos were sent out to
intercept the booze car. Herigstad
and Nedreloe drove to Tasker and
Just beyond that village met r. E.
Roberts, who was driving this way
with car full of whiskey. Roberts
suspected that something was wrong
and turned around, but was caught
after mile chase. He was ordered
to drive to Minot, the sheriff's car
following close behind. At the court
house it was found that he had 81
cases of whiskey, six quarts to the
case. Valued at $40 quart, the load
was worth $3.50.
Other cars had been reported en-.
route here. Ed Tuepker, . white man

colored folks, drove one Of them, but
he had managed to reach Minot un-
molested. The city police department
located his garage, where 16 cases Of
the same kind of whiskey that Rob
erts was bringing in, was located.
Tuepker has pleaded guilty and will
be sentenced today. Roberts will
enter plea Of guilty Jan. Z. Roberts
is the man who was implicated by
Buck in the murder of Officers De-
vaney and Gown near Minot. Buck
claims Roberts was in the party when
the officers were killed. Roberts was
out on $1,000 bonds, being held as a
witness, in the case against Ticknor,
charged with the murder of the Of
ficers. !,
The next day Herigstad learned
there was case of whiskey in a trunk
at the G. N. depot. He waited for
the drayman and found it was checked
for Clara Gregg, colored damsel:
She pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to serve 80 days in jail and to pay a
$500 fine.

The night watchman Of the mill
had gone thru the elevators at $3.50
that morning and noticed no hre at
tAe time. The elevators had not been
running at all during the night, SO the
blaze could not possibly have occurred
from friction. Mr.. Dunnell says that
in his opinion there are only two wayu
in which the fire could have started.
One might have been from a spark
from locomotive or from incendiar-
les.
A large crowd was attracted by the
fire. The fremen worked hard and
did some effective work in saving the
grain from being burned.
The Standard Oil Co.'s buildings
and tanks are located just east Of the
elevators, but fortunately the fire was
controlled, so the company sustained
no loss.
This is the first big fire Minot has
sustained since the Smart block was
Quilted two years ago. Minot has been
very fortunate in this respect.

CANCEL RED CROSS
MONTHLY PLEDGES
Executive Board of the Minot Branch
Decide No Further Payments
Necessary - Back Pledges
Must Be Paid

The Executive Board of the Minot
Branch Of the American Red Cross
held their regular meeting December
31st, and discussed plans for the fut-
ure of the organization.
Future productions asked of the
local Chapters will be financed by the
National organization, and the Divi-
sion will furnish free materials for
this production. In view Of this fact,
after estimating as closely as pos
sible the demands that would be
made upon the Branch for Home Ser
vice, Canteen work, Nursing, ETC., the
board decided to cancel the monthly
pledges after the December payments
are made. These pledges were taken
at the time Of the August drive, and
began in October and were to last for
eight months.
The Board felt that this would be
the fairest method to the people who
have contributed so gladly and gen
erously to the Red Cross. Some
donations were pledged and are not
yet paid; and some are back on their
pledge payments. The Board is re
lying on everyone taking care of his
payments promptly that the Red
Cross service may not be crippled,
and that the accounts Of the Branch
| may be closed as soon as possible
This cancellation refers only to the
pledges for the local work, and also
only to those who pay up to the end
of the year 1918, and has nothing
whatever to do with the Red Cross
War Fund. That is the National
pledge and will have to be paid.
The Board takes this opportunity
to thank everyone who has in any way
contributed. either by work or funds,
to make of the local Branch such a
success. 1t has been of great SER
vice to Uncle Sam and it has been the
cooperative spirit of the people Of
Minot that has made this possible.
There is still work to do and the
Board is asking that the people Of
Minot will still give of their interest
and work; that they will still "carry
on.
The members of the board who at
tended the luncheon, which was given
by Henry M. Wilson, are: J. Fauch-
aid, C. H. Zehringer, Mrs. A. A. Rob-
inson, Mrs. A. Carr, Mrs. Kara A.
Dickinson and Mr.. Wilson.

$4,000 FIRE AT THE
N|N0T flour MILL
Two Elevators With 10000 Capacity
Burned Saturday-60,0O0 Bushels
of Wheat, $4,000 of Rye and
Other Grain Damaged.

The two large elevators Of the
Ninot Flour Mill were completely
destroyed by fire which broke out at
SIX o'clock Saturday morning.
The total capacity Of the elevators
was 100000 bushels and they con-
Kained at the time of the fire between
$4,000 and 10000 bushels Of wheat,
$4,000 bushels Of rye, car of corn,
4 car Of oats, one car of screenings
and some other grain and feed.
VIM. E. Dunnell, president of the
company, estimates the total loss at
$16O,O00. The grain and feed
was entirely covered by insurance and
the elevators about half covered.
Mr.. Dunnell states that the ele-
vators will be rebuilt just as soon as
climatic conditions will warrant. The
mill has been shut down temporarily,
but will be reopened next week, when
the manufacture of the famous Snow
White flour will be resumed. Cars
of wheat will be run up close to the
mill, which was not damaged in the
least by the blaze, and the grain will
be run into the mill by means of an
elevator.
The fire was discovered in the drive
way Of the big elevator. and within
few moments the blaze had gone up
the shaft, breaking out at the top
q tho structure. The fire depart
naent was called out in1nedia tely, but
was not able to save the elevators.
1ereams Of water were turned on
the mill proper, saving that structure.
IA slight wind was blowing from the
west and this saved the mill from
destruction. As the top Of the ele-
vators burned, the grain ran out in
great golden piles on the ground. Not
: great deal Of the grain was actually
burned, altho it was all water soaked
and damaged by smoke. Grain that
has been thru a fire even tho not
damaged by the flames, is never fit
for milling purposes. The salvage
men are here now and the damaged
grain is all being shipped ito Mime
apolis. Here twill be graded and
used for stock feeds, hog or poultry
feeds.

NEW HIGH SCHOOL TO
Be OPENED JAN. STH
Three World Famous Artists to APP
pear in New AuditOrium-Open-
ing Will be Society Event.

Supt. L. A. White of the City
Schools announces the good fortune of
the schools and those interested in
the opening Of the new auditorium on
Wednesday, January eighth, in the
securing Of Maggie Teyte, the great
New York soprano, as successor to
Madame Schumann- -Heink.
A recent wire from Haensel and
Jones, -Heinks' New York
managers, gave the information that
our Minot contract had been cancelled
"owing to unsettled conditions in Mon
tana", which evidently made necessary
a re-routing of the famous contralto.
1t is said by those who have known
her career that a sudden cancellation
is not an uncommon occurrence.
Immediately upon receipt of the
cancellation, the wires were kept hot
in search thru New York and Chi
cago agencies for desirable success
or. Efforts were made among the
following to secure q worthy substi-
tute-Minneapplis Symphony Orches-
ira, Julia4 Claussen, Gogorza, Alice
Nelson, Mabel Garrison, Frieda Hem
pei, Maggie Teyte, Cali Curci and
even the Paris Symphony Orchestra
all artists Of real merit and reputa-
tion
For day it appeared as tho the
Grand Opera season, and previous en-
gagements had combined together to
prevent the securing the desired con-
tract. But word has just been re-
ceived by wire that the great New
York soprano Maggie Teyte has been
secured for the occasion. Those who
have heard Teyte and know her, know
that Minot and the Northwest will not
regret the cancellation of Madame
Schumann Heink's contract. And
those who are familiar with the Red
Seal Artists Records will know the
glorious purity Of her voice.
Just as Schumann-H Heink carried
with her a pianist and basso TO
give variety to her program, SO the
great sopranos evening of vocal mus.
ic will be made varied by music OF
the cello played by that mas:er cellist
Cornelius Van Fleet. These two ar
fists are secured at a considerably
larger expenditure than was the Schu-
mann-Heink organization, anil it is
believed by those in position to
know that in like degree will the eve.
ming Of music be superior. Surely
there is no place for disappointment.
The third attraction for the eve
ning's entertainment is Williams, the
great harpist from the Minneapolis
Symphony Orchestra. These artists
will afford an entertainment Of the
very highest class. Their services
cost several hundred dollars more than
the original Schumann-Heink program
and those who had planned on hearing
Schumann-Hein will have no cause
to regret that The change in program
was made necessary. No apologies
will be asked from Supt. White who
guarantees an entertainment Of the
highest class.
In order that there may be no pos
sible cause for dissatisfaction, Secre-
tary Holbein of the Association of
Commerce is prepared to refund their
money to any who may feel this
4hould be done. On the other haRd
additional seats are being placed in
the auditorium in preparation for the
largest midwinter gathering the COM
mun;ty has yet known.

WATERING WAGES.
New York World.

New York World.
The demands of the soft-coal min
ers have been unreasonable from the
start, and Secretary Wilson's at
temptst u bring about the settlement
on reasonable ground have failed.
While the miners demand a five
day week and six hour day, it is
plain that they have no intention of
working only 80 hours week. 1t
would be impossible to supply the
country's coal needs under any such
,'restristion as that. What the miners
heveM mind is to broaden the over
timeEreasof their activities and SO
profit from the much higher rates OF
wages for overtime.
This is plain extortion and a de-
vious method of achieving extortion'
It is not an honest demand for short
er. working time, but something else
entirely. AS corporate capital by
watering stocks seeks to create an
appearance. of added values where
none exist, so labor in this case
would use the appearance Of. de-
,manding shorter hours of work to
profit the more from old hours OF
mork. It is just a case of making
work values Seem to be what they are
not. It is q case of watering wages.

around for the political, social and
industrial leadership of the country.
Whenever by chance we elect to
the presidency man of rare intel
lectual qualities and genuine broad
grasp of public affairs, we Immediate
ly begin despairing of an adequate
successor. The tragic shortage OF
presidential timber and the all too
common spectacle of little men in
large places should stimulate US to
fundamental inquiry into the provi-
sions we have made for producing
leaders in this country.
For ali our multitude of colleges

The acid test of the American college.
Il would be salutary if all criticism
of the college could be focused at
this point until we fully realize its
Importance. The one test of the COL
lege is it's human product. What
matters the imposing structure and
the whirling wheels OF great factory
if it turns out an inadequate product?
The justification of shoe factory is
good shoe; the justification of hat
factory is good hat; the justifl-
cation of a college OF liberal arts in
democracy is the turning out OF the

the democracy needs.
Dogmatic assertion may be par
doned at this point. The primary
business of the American college OF
liberal arts is not to make scholars,
but to make effective citizens and
great leaders. : he college is not a
technical school; it is not a profes-
sional school; it is not graduate
school. The too prevalent confusion
of the aim of the college with the
aims of the technical, professional
and graduate schools has struck
serious blow at that truly liberal eau-
cation which underlies the creation of

as the Singing Priest of Chinatown. y
For number Of years he was pastor
of the old Church Of the Transfgura-
ton, with its former congregations long
ago removed from the vicinity of Pell
and Mott streets and Mulberry Bend.
From the days of his novitiate in the
North American College in Rome he
was noted as a vocalist. In later years
he also became famed for his sterling
lectures, particularly on the topic of
nationalistic music. He was a prime
authority on the songs of Erin and
Scotia. This record of his life, by his
brother, makes exceedingly good read
ing, and it is supplemented by the
text of a number of Father Toms lee
lures, although the golden tones in
which he was wont to illustrate, with
famed ballad and ditties, are still for
ever on earth.

litical, economic, religious, social mud
other angles, and also stresses the
world aspects of the Irish question. AL
though Mr.. Joyce, for his long lifetime
an advocate Of Irish independence, has
espoused the Sim Fein cause, his book
is singularly free from partisanship.
He has made point of propounding
almost every conceivable query that an
interested person, either proponent or
opponent, might devise, and answering
it to the best of his knowledge aud
belief. His manner is invariably tenn
perate and his style clear and even Y
tempered, He is free from rhetoric, elo-
quence or sentiment, and supports his
arguments from authorities such as
British parliamentary papers, Whit

person, they are so decidedly opposed

es Hndomitable Spirit
of People

An intimate view of an average
French family under the trials and diff
ficulties of the war is furnished by
Emile Benson and Alden Arthur Knipe
in "Vive In France" The book is il
lustrated by Mrs. Knipe.
The story is told in the first person
by Jeanette. a truly patriotic follower
of the sainted Jeanne, of Domremy. She
IL the granddaughter Of colonel Of the
Franco Prussian War, and her father
is an officer in the French army. His
call to the Colors comes on the very
opening page. The delightful old grand
pere's chance to serve for France in
important work comes through Jean
nette's interview with Marechal Joffre.
The puissant. indomitable spirit of
France is in this moving and thrilling
tale. The authors have caught it and
translated 1t for American readers.
Only the earlier part of the war is GOV =
cred. SO far MS chronology goes. but the
valor and virtue manifested then en- :
dured till victory. Jeannette's .adven-
lures take her from Reims to Paris and
back again. She is a nurse, a teacher.
