Quite a large number of large commission houses have covered abort wheat on a liberal scale today for customers, latter t)emg largely (by resting orders to sell that bad been previously placed by miscellaneous longs. Pending the verification of the Argentine news, trade during latter part of session was rarher dull. If the damage should prove important, which is not improbable, although confined to more southerly areas it would have an important bearing on the geneal wheat situation the world over.

This contingency has probably reduced the selling pressure today, and may affect size of deliveries this afternoon. Frost damage in Argentine last year which reduced the crop materially, was on Oct. 16. The crop this year is later than last year. Early news bearish.

New York and northwest report no Improvement in demand for Manitoba wheat as result of Argentine weather. The Argentine news, the strike situation, the Decemher deliveries and the government report tomorrow, all make for a puzzling situation in wheat, but one thing seems certain, and that is that short selling will be done very cautiously for awhile and the buying side will be looked upon with much more favor for the time being. at least.

Manuel of Portugal has been struck with the "stage door" fever, and members of his suite are busy watching the young monarch lest he contract the "Johnny" habit and become virulently affected. Miss Gabrielle Ray, pretty blonde, who dances in The Dollar Princess, is the young woman who attracted Manual, but she put a damper on the king's aspirations to enlarge his acquaintance with people on the stage. King Manuel was smitten with the charming ways of Miss Ray on his first visit to the theatre. He paid a second ivsit to the theatre to be introduced to her. Miss Ray was summoned to the royal box between acts and the king received her with every manifestation of admiration.

The members of his suite feared she would respond, but she did not. She treated the ardent king most frigid, ignored his compliments and talked about flowers and the ornaments that adorned the bojt. "How would you like to visit Lisbon?" asked the king. "Oh, sir, I could not dance there," she answered artlessly. "I must keep my engagements here." At that moment a bell rany on tile stage.

"That bell is for me," exclaimed MIbs Gabrielle. "I must go. Thanks for your politeness. Good-bye." And, unceremoniously, she flitted from the box. The young king, disappointed, left the theatre immediately.

QIRL MURDERED WITH ACID. Says Robbers Took Diamonds and Gave Her Poison. Pittsburg, Dec. a detailed investigation the authorities are unable to determine whether Miss Goidie Ingberg, a20-year-old girl who met a mysterious death at her honie here, was murdered or committed suicide. "They got my diamonds and then gave me poison," gasped the girl to her mother, who found her dying on the front porch of the house.

Her lips were burned with acid. The diamond earrings were gone. Every circumstance pointed to murder. If the girl was murdered, her slayers entered the front bed room of the house, dragged her to the porch and after taking her diamonds, poured acid down her throat. Police learned tonight that a robbery was committed within two "doors of the Ingberg home last night by two thus strengthening the murder theory.

It also develops that a man's dirty handkerchief was found near the girl. The handkerchief does not belong to any member of the Ingberg household. A Forum Wrant Ad Will Sell It For You THE FA BOO FORUM AND DAILT REPUBLICAN, MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 8 1909, RESERVATION LIQUOR SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER AT DETROIT ON ORDER OF JUDGE About twenty people were present when Mr. Rider read the order concerning the sale and anounced that all purchases must be paid for in either currency or specie, and that no checks would be accepted. He also stated that no bids would be accepted from Indians or persons of Indian extraction.

The bidding was not very brisk and thirty minutes were consumed in disposing of the sixteen different kegs and barrels described in the notice of sale, the majority of bids being made by Detroit saloonkeepers. Many of the parcels were -aokl for a rediculously low price, one German farmer getting fifteen gallons of kummel for $1. When the package was knocked down to him his fact expanded several inches in contemplation no doubt, of the keen enjoyment which he apparently had in store. Two of "Pussy-foot" Johnson's deputies were present, and one of them remarked that the purchasers of the liquor would get but little use of it, as closing orders would be served on every Detroit saloonkeeper the next day. This undoubtedly had much to do with the light bidding.

The liquor mentioned above and sold under the order of the court was confiscated upon the White Earth Indian reservation seven mfinths ago, and no claimant appearing, the case wr.s listed as above mentioned and the goods sold. The holding of this sale of liquor here has created much criticism of the federal authorities in view of the severe sentence which Judge Amidon passsd upon Fred Anderson, the Callaway saloonkeeper, who drew a fine of $400 and four 'months in jail for receiving shipments of liquor at Detroit. Somewhat HistoHo. The Washington Star of Stjcent date contains an account of the death of a relative of B. F.

Mrs. Smoot, who will be remembered in Moorhead as Jennie Kurtz, now resides at Salona Hall SCHOOL AGE DEFINED.

Attorney General Rules on School Ages of Children in Rural Dists. Some people seem so much afraid that their 'boys and girls will remain in school a year too long that county superintendents have been experiencing considerable trouble in connection the new compulsory educational law of Minnesota which provides that a child must attend school until 17 years of age. County superintendents, and the state superintendent, have ruled that "until a child is seventeen years of age" means when the child has reached its 17tn birthday. The matter has been disputed and has been carried to the attorney general and the point of his ruling is as follows: "The law is made- applicable In country districts to children of or between the ages of 8 and 16 years. This includes a child that has attained his 8th birthday and from that time until the attainment of the 17th birthday." BIRTHDAY DINNER.
