Expense of the Briggs Trial.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Rev. DR.. Bart
lett, who was chairman of the local
committee of arrangements for the gen
eral assembly, is of the opinion that
the estimate made by some of the COM
missioners that the Briggs case from
beginning to end cost the general as
embly about $4,000 is nearly correct.

FARGO IN RUINS.
Fire Sweeps Away the Business
Portion Of the City.
Tho Loss Is Estimated at Three Million
Dollars, with Light Insursance--A
s Fierce South Wind Helps
the Flames.
MooRHEAp, June s, Half Of Fargo Is

MooRHEAp, June 8, Half Of Fargo Is
in ashes.
Fire broke. out about 2 p. M. yester-
day, and, aided by a high wind, spread
despite the.work of the fire department.
The district destroyed. by fire is bound
ed by the Western Union Office and the
Headquarters hotel, thence to the Great
Northern depot and along the line Of
the Great Northern track to the river.
The principal business street Of the city
lies within that district and the finest
| business blocks are in ashes. Many
fine residences were also in that district
and went down before the flames.
A strong south wind which was blow
ing at the time soon carried sparks and
burning brands to Magil & Co.'s ma
chinery warehouse, which was COM
pletely destroyed. The flames spread
; rapidly along the east side of Sroad-
way, the principal business street, and
the following buildings on the east side
were burned: Northern Pacific elevator
building; Red River National bank;
Fargo Loan agency; Great Northern
ticket office and depot; Opera House
block: Appel Bros: K. Olson; Columbia
cafe; Yoder t. Lewis; Bristol & Sweet;
Republican office; Keeney block, and
everything on that side. Across the
Great Northern tracks the North
Side high school, Swedish church,
Marsh & LOOMS livery stable and
dozens of dwellings are destroyed.
The fire was started by hot ashes
from the Gem restaurant, thrown out
behind, igniting loose papers back OF
Hoseman's dry goods store. Somebody
left the front door open, and inside of
three minutes the wind had driven the
flames through the building and burst
out Of the roof.
President James Hill wired to open
the firemen. Only two grocery stores
are left in town, one being Yerxa's, w.
on which the principal efforts of tl.c
two companies were directed all even
ing in order to save the Headquarters
hotel The three story Citizens bank
just opened opposite made a very hot
fire, but Yerxa's was saved, though
badly scorched and alight several times.
A conservative estimate of the loss is
So, OOO, 900 with not to exceed one quar-
ter insurance.
The bridges between Fargo and Moor
head are burned.
Probably 400 people are homeless.
The Headquarters is the only hotel
and only one restaurant is left in the
city.
The fire companies from Grand Forks,
Wahpeton and Moorhead were present.

Historical Names of Kings.

Some of the early kings of France
ruled over Germany at one time when
there was no division, but when there
was separate German nation the rulers
gained many curious titles. Fat" was
one and Blind" another. Also the
Child" the Fowler" Then Blood"
Red, BLACK, Superb" and SHARP"
while one king is particularly described
as the Holy and Lame"
The rulers of the provinces that now
make up Spain had a number of kings
called Great and Catholic Then they
also had the Monk and Gouty and i'll
cluded others who were infrm-Bad,
Noble, Strong, Valiant, Gracious, Sick
IT, Impotent, Benefcent and Ceremoni-
Gus. Ferdinand III of Leon and CASTLE
was the Saint and Holy.
Hungary has her rulers described as
Saint, German, Thunder, Venetian, Great
and a King Mary who was probably the
only woman who held like title. Over
Portugal reigned tie Fat, Idle, African
and Great and Perfect
The people of Russia have generally
had hard time of it. We realize this
today, and the names given to their
kings show the reason therefor. None
was good, wise or just, though there
was Peter the Great, who did all he
could to help his country. But how
could nation progress with rulers who
gained the title of Terrible. Impostor,
Proud, Lightfoot, Grim, Fierce and Lion.

1T Might Have Been

Saddest of words when uttered by a
man who has invested In agricultural i'm
plements that he does not like. The only
safe way to avoid disappointment of
tural tools over which you will find at
the Old Fletcher Store. We intend to
keep abreast Of the times in this depart
ment. The farmer cannot afford to make
a mistake in his selection. 81 want to
just kick myself was the utterance of a
man only yesterday who had made a
in the day discovered that we had much
more desirable article at the same cost.
He neglected to look at our stock and
for years to come as he follows after his
purchase in his fields he will utter the
words which head this article. The As
pinwall one horse corn planter is the
coming planter. 1t burrows, drops seed,
distributes fertilizers, covers and makes
next roe, plants corn, beans, peas, etc.
We have one on exhibition at our store.
DO not fail to look at it.
The Reed Lever harrow is by all odds
the best harrow in use to-day. it is a
marvel of simplicity and strength. We
sell it. You cannot afford to buy any
other.
We have got the prettiest and best
plows in the market. Are you thinking
of buying one this year or next? Then
come and look our plows over. We take
pleasure in showing them to you, and
we do not get angry If you do not buy.
We want you to be neighborly.
We intend to carry the incest line of
farming tools to be found. Shovels,
forks, hoes, scythes, and at low prices.
Do not forget this when needing any
thing in this line. We intend making
the Fletcher Store headquarters for the
farmers of Somerset county. If we dc
not have what you want we will get il
for you.
We have large stock of wool Irvine
| at Wholesale and retail We have lust
got in a large lot of nice butter tubs aud
can supply in any quantity at lowest
prices. Now, then, as a matter of econ.
omy, it will pay you to look our stock
over when in want of anything as it may
save you money and it is what we save
that puts us beyond want.
We have just added to our stock the
| Diamond Seed sower. This is the very
best and the latest improvement. You
want to look at this though you do not
buy, and imagine the good time coming
when the farmer can sit in his rocking
simple wave of the hand.

The Science of Nose Study.

Not the least charm of the science of
'nasology" is the chance which it offers
to the historian of testing the characters
of eminent men by its rigid and unbend-
ing standard.
The historical value of gems and en-
cravings cannot fail to be enhanced by
their bearing on this most interesting
subject, and the moral value of axionis
and actions whose spring has long been
doubtful may be solved by reference to
the nasal developments of their authors
Apologists for the money making i'm
pulse which it pleased Adam Smith to
ascribe to human action will, for in
stance. no longer be able to urge that
some such theory was necessary to a log
ical system of political economy.
Adam Smith possessed the Jewish nose
in its highest development. The nose is
the reflex of character, and the "naso-
logical" political economist will brush
aside apologies and estimate the bias of
the father of the science not by the ne
cessities of theory. but by the hard
facts of his Semitic profle.-London

Bath is glad that the National Cordage
Trust has gone under and hopes now that
the rope walk in that city will be started
up. Trusts have shut down several Maine
industries.
1t is stated that the Department of the
Interior at Washington has made saving
of $4,000 in the running expenses of the
census bureau since the present admins
tration came in. That is right, as it should
be, and what it would have been under
any administration. There is always a
lull in the census bureau between the TAX
ing of the censi That lull has come,
that is all
The report that Harold NJ. Sewell is
connected with newspaper agency and
is working for the purpose Of restoring
royalty at Hawai-, is ''way off," accord
ing to the Bath Independent. Instead, it
may be said that he is connected with the
present provisional government at Hon
oulu and is working in favor Of annexa-
ton, in entire accordance with the views
he expressed before leaving Maine.
There is no longer any room to doubt
but what the relation OF President Cleve-
land and ex-Secretary Whitney are ex-
ceedingly strained. There is no question
whatever but what Mr.. Cleveland owes
his present position to Mr.. Whitney.
Without the shrewd and aggressive man
agement of that prince of Democratic or
ganizers, he would never have been nom.
mated at the Chicago convention. The
tact that he should so soon have forgot
ten the magnificent work which Mr..
Whitney did for him is not fact that will
tend to endear him to the American peo-
pie.
