The Hope Pioneer last week stated
that the Cooperstown club had been
challenged by the Hope club to play for
the club. This is false. Our club has
received no challenge yet. We wish
the Pioneer to understand that our ball
club is hard at work-being all farmers
harvesting and have no time to
play ball again this season. This was
understood by the Hope club, who are
very gentlemanly fellows, and we hope
this explanation will satisfy the Pioneer
and that the editor of the aforesaid
paper will now give our boys little
rest from his tlresome braggadocia. We
could very nicely apply Mr.. Iseminger's
term IN here in regard to ''those fool
friends" but will refrain from doing SO,
as we consider Brother George only a
little over Jealous for his ball club,
which is strictly proper. We have
enjoyed somc good times with the Hope
boys this summer, and we hope to con-
tinue doing SO next season, whether
they take the cup or whether it remains
here. -

STORY OF sINBAD
THE REPUBLICAN.

When I advanced little way
into the land of the Dakotas, I saw
an old man, who appeared very
weak and infrm. He was seated on
the bank of stream, and on his
back was pinned blue ribbon with
the word prohibition" printed
thereon. I went toward him and
saluted him, but he only slightly
bowed his head. I ask him why he
sat SO still, but instead of answering
me, he made sign for me to take
him upon my back, and carry him
over the brook. believed him to
really stand in need of my assist
ance, took him upon my back and
having carried him over, bade him
get down and for that end stopped
that he might get off with ease; but
instead Of doing SO the old man, who
to me appeared quite decrepit, threw
his legs nimbly about my neck.
He sat astride upon my shoulders
and held my throat so tightly that I
thought he would have strangled me,
and 1 tainted away. Notwithstand-
ing my fainting, the ill-natured old
fellow still kept his seat upon my
neck. When I had recovered my
breath, he thrust one foot against my
side and struck me SO rudely with
the other that he forced me to rise
against my will. Having arisen, he
made me carry him under the trees,
and forced me now and then to stop,
that he might gather and eat fruit.
Sometimes tor the purpose Of ap-
peasing my hunger and sustaining
my failing strength, I would pluck
some Of the fruit and endeavor to
Griggs courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., Dak. [N.D.]) 1885-1902, 1892-08-19

eat it; but as it neared my lips the
Old fellow would snatch it and put it
IN his own mouth instead. Some
times when he had sucked the Juice
and eaten the flesh Of the fruit he
would hand the core to me and,
much as l loathed it, my ravenous
hunger compelled me to eat, He
never left his seat all day; and when
lay down to rest at night he laid
himself down with me, still holding
fast about my neck. Every morning
he pinched me to make me awake,
and afterwards obliged me to get
up and walk, and spurred me with
his feet.
One day I found some empty beer
bottles, which abounded by the way.
took a large one and pressed into
it the juice of some grapes, of which
there were plenty; having filled the
bottle put it in convenient place
and going there some days after,
tasted it and found the wine so good
that it gave me new vigor, and SO
exhilarated my spirits that l began
to sing and dance as l carried my
burden. The old man perceiying
the effect which this had upon me,
and that l carried him with more
ease than before made me sign to
give him some of it. l handed him
the bottle, and the liquor pleasing
his palate, he drank it off. There
being a considerable quantity of it
he soon began to sing and move
about from side to side, in his seat
upon my shoulders, and by degrees
to loosen his legs from about me.
Finding that he did not press me as
before, l threw him to the ground
where he lay without motion. l was
extremely glad to be thus freed from
this troublesome fellow. 1 now
walked toward the south when met
some pilgrims from Iowa. They
were surprised to see me, but more
SO at hearing the particulars of my
adventure. "You fell' said they
''into the hands Of the cold water
man, and are the first who ever es-
capped strangling by his malicious
embraces. He never quilted those
lie had once mastered until he had
destroyed them; and he has made
this country notorious by the num-
Der Of men he has slain"

E. Ashley Mears, in Forum: II went
to Cooperstown to soil out the interest
in the First Bank of that place, in
which own the entire capital stock.
M. w. Buck, now the cashier of the
First National Bank, of Lakota, and
some of his eastern friends are the pnr-
chasers. Cooperstown is . pretty
place. One of the prettiest towns 1
have seen in Dakota, and most of the
people there have fenced in their
houses and are setting cut trees. 1
drove from there last Friday to Lakota.
the distance Is about tifty-five miles,
aid during the entire trip l saw only
one poor wheat field, and that will pro-
badly not average over ten bushels to
the acre, from the balance that saw
think we shall get an average Of twenty
to thirty bushels to the acre. The
farmers are new very enthusiastic over
the outlook for the crops.

Major Shaw, Of the Fargo Argus,
says that Hope and jamestown are
the two champion ball clubs of the
state. We would like to know how
he figures that out. Cooperstown
has twice defeated jamestown and
now holds the Amateur champion
cup Of North Dakota. By-the-way,
1t would look better if the Argus
would give the COURIER credit for
the articles it clips from it.

Is it not just about the right time
for Ignatius Donnelly to issue
another circular advising farmers to
hold their wheat until they can get a
dollar per bushel? Mr.. Donnelly's
circular oflast year cost the farmers
of North Dakota thousands Of dol
lars. They will pay no attention to
any such circular in the future we
presume.

There is quite a kick among the FARM
ers about the elevators all being closed.
Several farmers brought in loads of
wheat Monday and were unable to find
a market forlt. 1t seems rather strange
that all four elevators should be closed
when there is SO much grain yet in tho
country to market. The farmers will
have to build an elevator of their
own.

Next Tuesday is the day set by the

"shall we incorporate" Our answer
would be, certainly, by all mean vote
to incorporate. Incorporation will be

voters should turn out and vote and
thus give expression to their wishes.
Don't stay away from the polls and

you favor incorporation, vote for it.

by the first session of the so-ca,led
billion dollar congress, an increase of
$44, 100000. This increase would have
been much larger if the actual necessi-
ties of the government had been pro-
vided for to say nothing of appropria
tions for needed new public building
none of which passed during the ses.
sloA just closed. 1t is admitted by
democrats in both the senate dnd house
that the post Office appropriation bill
as it became IL law is millions of dollars
less than the actual necessities of the
service calls for, and that IL big diticit is
inevitable. The same is tr..e to q
smaller extent OF other appropriations
and the fact is we'll known TO the dem
ocrats who deliberately reduced the ap
preparations for the purpose Of deceiv-
ing the people until after the national
election, knowing that the deficits will
then have to be made good, and not
withst:,nding this scheme this congress
have appropriated s44,000,000 more
than the first session of the last con-
did. Republican cxtravagance will not
be u favorite text with democratic
stump speakers this year, and the mis-
representations of 1890, cannot possibly
be repeated.
Most men in political life have to
content themselves with having official
actions approved by members of their
own party, but ex speaker Reed is a
most striking exception; he has had
every one of the innovations, he was
responsible for having introduced in
the last house, approved by his political
opponents of the present house, with
the single exception of counting a.
quorum" The democrats not only APP
proved, but they actually adopted the
very rules they had abused the republi.
cans for adopting at Mr.. Reeds sug-
gestion. The cloture rule, which was
refused the free silver nes, had to be
reported and adopted before the
Worlds Fair appropriation could be
put through The house, which was
another evidence of the hypoerisy Of
the democratic leaders in dealing with
legislation of national Importance.

Judge Mayer Takes tle Case from the
 J0ry.
 fTTTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 5.--A ClearAeld special dispatch says: The trial of Presi. dent Dill of the First National Bank of Clearfeld and of the Houtzdale Bank has come to a sudden ending. From the na- ture of the evidence Judge Mayer took the case from the jury and ruled that the First National Bank was responsible for the amount.o of the draft, and that Dill could not be convicted in the light of the evidence adduced.
 The Judge directed that a verdict of mot guilty, but pay the costs'' be enter ed on the record and Dill was dis charged.
 Attorney Snyder then made a motion for DilIs discharge from answering the charges of embezzlement on the ground that two terms of Court had elapsed and no bills of indictment had been found The order asked for was granted and Dill was discharged on all the Common wealth cases on the docket in this county.
 The depositors of the Clearfield Ma tional Bank are much exercised over Judge Mayors rulings, while the Houtz- dale depositors are much elated.
 The civil suit to recover the $50, ,OOO by the Houtzdald Bank receivers will be tried next week.
