The Probable Size Of It.


The Washington correspondent OF
the Pioneer Press telegraphs that
Governor Ordway says that Mr.. Pet
tigrew's clerk, Mr.. Wilkins, has in
structed the secretary Of the treasu-
ry not to pay any attention to Mr..
Pettigrew's statements when intro
ducing parties for Office, and it is
understood that the delegate will
send hirA fsssifkins3 70 tn depart
ment in person to state the real rec
concentrations. 1t may be possible
that Wilkins has done this absurd
ly foolish thing, and thus demon.
strated his claims to permanent
position in the first rank of egotist-
ical cranks of the present day. But
that Mr.. Pettigrew gave him any
such instructions is too preposterous
for serious consideration. There is
another side to the story probably
and very likely it will prove to be
only another Of Ordway's odd ways
Of attempting to injure Dakota with
the person Of her delegate. Mean
while Dakotas executive affairs
that should be attended to by the
governor, are left for Mr.. Hand to
manage, in addition to the duties OF
his own Office. If Gov. Ordway
can't stay at home and attend to his
duties as governor, the president
should send another "feller" who
will pay some attention to the du-
ties of the Office.

How to Break an Ok.

Somebody wrote to the editor of a
country paper asking how to break
all OK. The editor answered as fol-
lows: IF only one OK, a good way
would be to hoist him by means of
chain attached to his tail to the
top Of a pole forty feet from the
ground. Then hoist him by a rope
tied to his horns to another pole and
drop on his back FIVE ton pile dri-
yer, and If that don't break him let
him start a country newspaper and
trust people for their subscriptions.
One Of the two ways will do itsnre. I"

Nevertheless he thought himself
well enough heeled for current uses,
for, as soon us he met his enemy, he
began to kick at him viciously. bray

flew too high for his antagonist, and,
frequently sweeping down upon
him, buried his sharp talons in the
terminal region of t,e ASS vertebrae.
This caused the astute quadruped
to vertebrae all the buder.
Thus the quarrel proceeded to the
great diversion of third rate gods
and the goddesses who hang around
the Olymrisa palace until at last,
Jupiter ordered the Dmbatants be-
fore him, to give an account of the
things by which they were making

mortals. First, the ass was asked
wherefore the animals so strongly
objected to his reign over them.
He'replicd that it was because they
could not appreciate his many vir-
tues and excellences; being lions,
tigers, wolves, snakes scorpions and
such like predatory creatures, totally
unfit for any but his most absolute
government.
The Eagle contradicted the Ass
and asserted that the animals were
by vast majority well intentioned
and peaceablc quadrupeds, who
asked nothing more than a ruler af-
ter their kind, who could under
stand their needs and who would

Tho Losses Mostly on Country DepositOrs.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 29.-The firm of
VIM. H. Lloyd & Co., bankers and
brokers, failed this morning with liabili-
ties among brokers of about s1O, 900. The
heaviest sufferers are country deposit
tors with whom the bankrupt firm
did considerable banking business.
These country losses arc inde-
pendent of the liabilities given and
their extent cannot be obtained. The
firm is said to have been trading heavily in
Northern Pacific, Lehigh Valley, and
Buffalo, Pittsburgh s Western, of which
they are said to have been short, and after
covering at big prices became long of the
market. The recent fall in prices forced
the suspension.
