Let 'Er Go, Gallagher"

Kansas City Times: The origin Of the OK.
preston Let 'er go, Gallagher" has puz-
zlcd many minds for ms many moons, until
a great number have despaired Of ever soy-
ing the riddle satisfactorily and have CON
cluded that, like Topsy, il "iest growcd Z"
Through the kindness Of Chief Clerk Dav-
enport, of the Centr0polis hotel, the correct
origin OF the famous expression Is given.
"Ile expression originated IN New York
CITY," said Mr.. Davenport. "and IL hap
pened this way: AT the Madison squnre
theater one night there was sceue-shifter
named Gallagher. He was supposed TO be

The audience shouted itself h0arse, and

THE COPPER MARKET.
The Consumption of the Red Metal very
Large just Now.

Engineering and Mining Journal: An
event which has been generally expected for
some time past has taken place during the
past week, namely, at meeting OF
the combined Lake companies held at Bos-
ton on Oct. 81. it WAS decided TO advance
the price of Lake copper from lie. per pound
to Ike. Any one who has carefully
watched the tendency of values and the
natural causes affecting same must have
seen that with the principal Lake conf
panies sold out up to the end of November
and some even up to the end of the year
such acton was inevitable, and II has only
been a matter of surprise that such step
WIS not taken much earlier. The fact IL,
the consumption of copper just now all
over the world IL going on nj an unprece-
dented rate, and had il not been for the nn-
polite proceedings Of the representatives of
certain foreign bankers short time since
in forcing sales, there was no reason what
ever in reducing the prices of Lake copper
below 19c. Under the circumstances. the
interested companies nj their recent meet
ing have adopted II very conservative policy
in restoring only one half of the decline
brought about by the proceedings referred
TO. Owing to the continued keen compC III
tion on the part of the producers, the prices
of casting copper have not benefited to the
same extent as the Lake sorts, but dis
tinctly irmer tendency is also noticeable in
those brands. and we have now 60 quote
casting sorts l0A l0l9c.: rolling sorts, l0A
a. lie.
Latest cables report refined and manu-
featured copper as yet unaffected by this
speculative movement in Chill bars. and
that Anaconda matte can still be purchased
at 81. 4 ID. per unit in Liverpool price
which, il comparison with Chilli bar quota
tiOns, appear fidiculously low. Ii now re-
mains 10 be seen whether the upward ten
drncy understood TO have been initiated
by spectators who have realized larg profits
by the recent great rise in iron in Great
Britain will prove 10 be of permanent
duration.

MONEY WASTED.
A Fortune For Man Who Keeps Blind

Norwich, Conn, Bulletin: Some few
months ago Mr.. Fred B. Manning saw in a
Chicago paper an advertisement inquiring
for lost printer for whom fortune was
waiting. He recognized the name az that
of n drunken tramp printer who had turned
up in Norwich. Mr.. Manning wrote the
family and received letter from the uncle
of the young man who nsked him. il he ever
came 10 Norwich again, 10 send him 10 his
family. To pay the fare of the printer TO
his destination the uncle RENTED SIS. Two
weeks ago the printer who was u lost son Of
a wealthy family, turned up IN Norwich too
intoxicated too understand the message

at once made for him, and he was traced
to Putnam and WAS sent back 10 Norwich,

him sober enough to know there was good
fortune awaiting him; he raved Rnd ragged,

PLIGHT OF NORTH DAKOTA.
Bungling Republican Methods Leave '"s
state without Federal Jurisdiction

Rungling RepuDuchh "o"'
state without Federal Jurisdieu"h'
GnANp Forks. n. d., Nov. 9.-North Da-
kota is left without United States Judge
and commissioner This is only one feat
ure of the awkward all-digested statehood
programme. The people are virtually de-
nrived of federal courts. They are law
abiding and patient, but forbearance Is at
the expense of the interests of htigants, and
exposes the public to crime committed
AGAINST the United States which does not
provide any means for the punishment OF
criminals. No federal court exists in the
new state. Practically the peope are worse
off than before the admission. All is chaos
and direful lconsequenceswould result should
serious crime be committed against
the federal laws. There is no rea-
son why the appointments OF luuge
and commissioner should not be instantly
made except that the appointments are nelu .,
up AT the instance of politicians until the
limited States senators are elected. IL IL a
republican scheme 70 subject the public
safety 10 scramble for place and patron
age. For the time being the federal gov
ernment is without authority III North pa
kota, and it is impossible to punish crime
against the United States. This ridiculous
situation might easily have been ioreseeh
and ought TO have been provided against.
The statehood progress has been tarclal'
Gov. Mellett, after qualifying as Cover
nor of South Dakota and certiiy-
inc 20 the election of United States
senators, returns to Bismarck, can
vasses the returns of the North Dakota
election, certified the result to the presl-
deut. canvassed the South Dakota election
returns, and ertilied TO his own election
thus acting as governor Of North DAKOTA
while residing in South Dakota. lhe con-
stitutional convention of North Dakota
transcribed it's powers andvioleted the pro-
visions of the omnibus bill. The cohstltu,
tion and schedule are inconsistent ana
ambiguous. The prohibition provisions
are unsatisfactory and obscure. Territorial
license law is certainly repugnant 10 prom
bition. That article of the constitution
therefore, is no longer in force. Licenses
cannot legally be granted, but prohlbltloh
is not in force until the laws enacted are III
force and these do not take effect until July
following the adoption. Consequently the
LIQUOR business is wide open.and free whisky
is rampant. The statehood programme Is
piece of republican bungling botchwork'

Axtcll's breeding,

The story of Axtell's breeding and train
ing is fairylike. Out of nm untried dam and
10y the untried sire, developed and driven
10y comparatively poor young man whose
experience is even now hardly equal to that
OF practical amateur, the history Of the
champion stallion is more romantic than
the inventions about the Godolphin Ara
ban. Analysed, Axtel's pedigree justifies
his success, and strengthens the force of the
proyerb that blood will tell. He unites the
two great streams that flowed from Mes
senger, the thoroughbred founder of the
staying trotter. Action and style has ap
parently reached the same perfection In
him IL reached in Maud 5, IND all that can
be improved is strength an ambition.
