The Sioux City Journal publishes the
following extract from Il private letter re-
ceived ut Sioux City from Washington: !:
Gov. Ordway is still hero and has done much
for Dakota in this her time of need. He and
our delegate are at loggcrhcads and are fight
ing it out on q straight linc-tit for. tat, blow
for blow. Wisconsin member told me yeRtcr-
day that Pettigrew was ahead, but he caught
the governor mapping, and that since that Ord
way has taken razor soup . and kept his claws
1t il more than probable that by Tomorrow the
governor will be in advance. Fun for those who
stand afar Oft, but death to the interested par
ties.
The battle between the two leading Of
ficials becomes more bitter us it progress
es.. Each Of the contending parties is
skilled in this style of warfare, and each
is Industrious and implacable. The DIFF
ference between the delegate and the gov
ernor dates back to tho early days OF
Governor Ordway's administration when
Pettigrew was stumping the territory in
his own interest, his campaign cry being
"down with the carpet baggers." BY the
term "carpet bagger he meant those
officials who were sent into the territory
from the states with commissions in their
pockets. It was the keynote to popular
ity among the voting masses, and upon
the crest of the wave Of popularity pro-
duced by this course, Pettigrew rode in
to office by q majority which would have
done credit to populous state. Having
employed the issue of prejudice to sc
good an advantage our delegate must
follow it up. A majority OF the fed
eral officials Of the territory naturally
sympatlize with the governor, as tho del
egate made common cause against then
all in his "carrct bag campaign. Ex
Delegate Bennett is also supposed to be
aiding Governor Ordway. The outcome
OF the contest of the utmost importance
to Delegate Pettigrew. II he wins, hi.
triumph will md his future political
achievements. II he fails, the defeat vii
be disastrous.

Union Telegraph Company. on Du-
quesne Way. This office was for the
accommodation Of the oil men, most OF
whom had their offices on this street.
He was then about eighteen years Of
age, and by reason Of his coming in
contact with the brokers in tho course
OF business he was very well acquainted
with them all. When the Oil, Exchange
was organized in this city, in the above
mentioned year. he turned in his mes
sanger-book and resigned the position
to take that of janitor Of the Exchange.
He said he was favorite Of the mem
bers and particularly Of CIR. George
Il. Nesbit, Of Petrolia, who was heavy
dealer in the greasy substance which
has been the means Of making and
running so many men. In February,
1880, at the instance Of Mr.. Nesbit he
went on the floor of the Exchange as q
full-hedged broker, the means being
furnished by that gentleman, which
enable him to do 70. He continued rs
a broker for period Of about four
months, and, Notwithstanding his ex-
treme youthfulness, for he was proba.
bly, the youngest broker in the country,
he made the largest single purchase
ever made on the exchange. This was
on May Ii, 1880, and the number OF
barrels that he thought was 100000
In the four months that he was engaged
in the oil speculation, at a rough guess, he
stated he managed to make about $40, 600
which was a large amount of cash for O
youngster of his age to hands, but his
unlucky day came. He had his whole
amount invested in margins" and Dan
Goettel, of New York, "bulled" the mark.
ct until the prices advanced SO cents on
the barrel, and the clique could not put
up margins" fast enough, and in conse.
quence they lost in the aggregate Of
100000, and he himself was compelled
to succumb. It was on certain Tues
day in June of the year 1880. The
market opened at 81 0tc and closed al
81 O64. The next day it opened at 81.
OS4. and advanced until it reached ST..
24t, and closed at $1.215. This to us'

lay down, being heavily short" Mr.

A Printers Lost Chance.
Pittsburg Leader.

There is at the present time working
in the composing-room of the Leader
a printer named William Il. Cooper,
whose history aptly illustrates how for
tunes are made and lost; how an indi-
vidual may be rich to-day and not
worth a cent on the morrow. His
story is but a rehtar of the scenes
that are daily occurring in the stock
and oil markets. A reporter learned
that at one time Mr.. Cooper had been
.tolerably wealthy, put one day he real
lied that his wealth had vanished like
q summers cloud, and that he was worth
nothing, metaphcrically speaking. he
was rather reluctant to say anything
about it, but by dint of much persua-
sion on the part of the scribe he related
the following of how he was compile

Home Made Candy.

1t is perfectly natural, as every one
knows, for children to beg for Jumps of
sugar from the time when the baby first
connects sugar with the bowl till years
later when he is allowed to help him.
self. 1t is entirely proper they should
have in moderation the sweets they
crave, and which in large measure
supply their bodies with needed heat.
They enjoy wonderfully well having
sweet things made at home, in whose
making they can assist, and it is not
much trouble to indulge them and let
them at least have molasses candy and
pop. corn balls. These balls are easily
made by boiling some molasses until it
will harden in cold water, pour it over
the popcorn, take it into cool room,
butter your hands and roll the corn into
balls.
1t is a simple matter, also, to make
chocolate caramels. All that is needed
is one cup of sweet milk, one cup of
molasses, half cup of sugar, half a
cup Of grated chocolate, piece of but
ter the size Of a walnut; stir constant
ly and let it boil until it is thick, then
turn it out on buttered plates; when it
begins to stiffen mark it in squares, SO
that it will break readily when cold.
Cocoanut caramels are made of two
cups of grated cocoanut, one cup of
sugar, two teaspoonsful of -four, the
whites of three eggs beaten stiff; bake
on battered paper in quick oven.
Nice white candy is easily made one
quart of graduated sugar, one pint Of
water, two teaspoonsful OF vinegar;
boil, but do not stir it; you can tell
when it is. done by trying it in cold
water. Pull it like molasses candy;
have dish near by with some vanilla
in it, and work in enough to flavor as
you pull let stand until the next day.

The reasons Why 20 few men compM.
atiyely succeed In journalism, says .
sensible exchange. 10 because 10 few
have for IL the temperament and the
constitution. More than q moiety Of
mankind is slow, lacking in alaority,
and devoid Of sense Of proportion.
Tho art Of putting things rapidly in
shape Is not we'll understood by the
public. This is the reason why we have
long-winded sermons, lectures promo.
tive Of somnolency, and magazine work
which presupposes that longevity vouch-
safed to the long grabbing old gentlemen
and ladies Of the Old Testament.
The public is not inconsiderate it Is
only ignorant. The newspaper is a
mystery. Of the manufacture Of which
it knows hardly anything. Those who
give to it the enthusiasm Of youth, the
vigor Of manhood and whatever of wis.
dom old age may have brought with it
might have abiding fame in this depart
ment of literature, or the other. in the
field Of science, in the arena of public
affairs. Taste or accident has betrayed
them into humble sphere Of human
exertion, nor do they quarrel with their
fortune. He who drifts into journalism
rarely leaves ii; he still plods on in the
daily toll which for him has rare fas'
cination. Often there is no fame fol
him. The cleverest newspaper men
may be utterly unknown, and not for
gotten only because he has never been
remembered. His heart, however, is
stout, at any rate; and, come compe.
tence, or the lack Of it-come the high.
est or the humblest position, he still
tolls with irrepressible cheerfulness, and
hopes when all is over with him that
his associates who survive him will be
reasonably sorry or solemn at his flu
neral.
