A REPLY.

Say, you man in editor line, dom,
consider as sign Of enmity that We
do write, nor as a challenge for a
fight! The Vikings spirit which OF
yore raised Europe up and reached
our shore, as yet, is not extinct is
true, it still has power to subdue.
But editor of Griggs Courier, main
tain your braveness and your cheer,
deliberate with perfect ease tor it
shall not disturb your peace. Well
your comments on "Epsilon" our ad-
miration surely won; for arguments
ourself we strain, there to find in
vain, yea in vain. Instead of this
what did we find and reap from the
editors mind? A warlike personal
aggression and such that tend to de-
gradation. Faults finding and threats
at the close, with intention to serve
the crows, which undoubtedly gives
clew, so others see the pointer too.
But editor do hear us, please, and
give our conscience little ease! All
classes people it does take, world
in harmony to make. So as a body
we should stand, all side by side and
hand in hand. Faults we should
never seek nor find, but offer aid to
those behind. Style US bigots with
all your heart, if you can be the other
part! Bigots, you know, must have
a guide, with views that are both
long and wide. Oh, let it also be
agreed, we have particular creed.
If you can master many more, be
sure to lead US safe ashore. And
furthermore We may admit, the editor
is sure to hit, when he asserts it to
be true that We are narrow minded
too. But then he takes the other
end. with the faculty to expand; and
we have the glorious hope, to stand
behind the telescope. At last our
thanks we Do extend, from the shoul-
der and down the hand. For the
suggestion wise and good, which is
served as our daily feod. Last, bu,
not least, the threats We note, of that
shaggy ferocious goat, just let her out
a day to roam, on the prairles away
from home. Meanwhile we'll to the
fact infer: A wooden shoe shall
quiet her, ush'ring her to the destin.

lative expenses, and about s1O,O upon
the S130, 900 ofunpaid claims bequeathed

dition to all current running expenses.
At this rate, the retiring of the present
administration will see the payment Of
the debts incurred by the last one, and
the ship of state sailing smoothly along,
with fair weather and untrcubled wa
ters. It has necessitated seme tempor-
ary hardships, but these will be more
than recompensed by the relieving Of
the state of its financial difficulties and
entanglements.
1t is especially worthy of note that
the expense accounts of all of the state
institutions have been audited and paid
up to October 1st. Upon the first OF
January last. the institutions were upon
an average Of eight months behind
Salaries and accounts-employes wages
and incidental expenses-for the pre-.
cedihg May had not been paid. 1t was
necessary that employees and other
creditors of the institutions discount
the certificates received from the &C.
counting officers of the various lnstitu.
tons, in order to obtain money for
them. 1t has been one of the especial
aims of the present administration to
bring these payments up to date, in or.
der that no such loss be entailed upon
just creditors of these institutions. This
has been done, and hereafter. the ex.
pense accounts of the institutions will
be audited and allowed each month, as
soon as received. The expenses for
September have been paid, and those
for October will be met as soon as the
accounts are received and audited.
The record is that of a business-like
and economical administration-suc a
one as was pledged to the people of the
state by the republican party in the last
campaign. The pledges have been, are
being and will be kept. The affairs of
the state are being conducted upon
such principles as shall rebound to the
states credit and financial benefit.
Another payment which will be made
within few days by State Auditor
Briggs, is that of 5000 in tree bounties
fer which warrants will be sent out to
about 675 applicants in all. Tue funds
with which to pay these claims have
been on hand for some time, but owing
to question which was raised as to the
constitutionality of the law, the pay.
ment has been deferred to this time

Destroyed By Fire!
The Great Western Elevato>s
Burned Up Last Friday
Night.

The toot-toot toot of the Northern
Pacific engine followed closely by thu
clang OF the fire bell, last Friday night
about 7:30 p. NJ, told only too truely>
that the dreaded fire fiend had broken
loose. 1t did not take many seconds u.
hnd out that the Great Western elevatepA
was in flames and that the fire had =
good headway before the alarm waa
turned in. The fire department turned
out promptly and steam was up lone
before the hose was laid across tho
railroad track distance of over tifteen
hundred feet. 1t was seen on reachinn
the fire that it would be impossible to
save the elevator and steady stream
was turned on the surrounding build.
ings and lumber piles. 1t took hard
anu valiant work on the part of the
department to keep the fire confined to
the burning elevator, the lumber pilea
ana some of the other buildings catch>
ing ire repeatedly. The wind, Though
not strong, carried burning cinders a
distance OF several blocks, and thesa
burning cinders and pieces of living
boards and shingles threatened to burn
up The town, fortunately, however, the
people were on the alert and no other
hres occurred. Had the fire spread to
seme OF the lamber sheds every eleva-
tor, the lumber yards, depot. and posi-.
oily Cooperstown, would be in ruins to.
day. 1t was nothing more or less than
the flre engine and a good supply Of
water that saved the whole thing. The
little engine was we'll handled by tho
engineers and she paid for herself ten
times over last Friday night. The hre>
men and citizens worked like beavers
and 1t is also due to their hard work
that no further fires occurred. For a
long time the fate of the yards and ele.
vators hung in the balance but luck
was ON our side and the Turning eleya.

settled in one pile instead of scatterins
Twenty thousand bushels of wheat were
IN the building, most of which of COURSE
is ruined, while some of it can be used
Tor feed. The fire originated in tho
lean.to or dust room of the elevator. and
as no enc was in the building and
everything was locked up and no fire Of
any kind had been in the building, it is
hard to say what started the fire. The
theory is that spark from the N. p.
engine might have got into the build
ing and ignited the dry material inside.
Agent Stewart was making out his re-
ports at the hotel when the alarm was
turned in and says he cannot account
for the fire as there is no machinery in
the room where the fire originated -
that friction could not have caused tho
hre. In addition to the loss of the ele-
vator, Crane & johnson lost between
10000 and 10000 lath, several cords Of
woods, some two by fours and consid-
cradle lumber damaged. Agent Stewart
did not know the amount Of insurance
carried but says his company is fully
insured. 1t was lucky tlre for Coop
erstown, if there is any luck in fires at
all, and we apprehend that none of our
citizens are kicking on the town being
SO far from the railroad track and lum>
Der yards, neither is anybody kicking
on tho Coeperstown fire department.

OBERON.

When, recently we were at Coop
erstown, and the region thereof, many
inquiries were made us about Oberon;
and we naturally conclude there may
be not few readers OF this paper
who will be interested in some ac-
count of this part of the state. This
hamlet is nearly eighty miles north OF
Jamestown and is almost directly
south of Cooperstown about the same
distance the most direct route. tbs
laid out on the east close to the re.
servation and until that is opened to
settlement cannot grow much in that
direction, or get much trade from it.
In this direction lies Fort Totten
about twelve miles away. West and
south lies the fertile Antelope Valley,
valley whose wheat crop this year
will average up pretty we'll towards
thirty-five bushels to the acre. 1t is
valley which has never been known
to have but a partial failure of crops.
The good land in it is pretty we'll
taken up and cultivated. North, as
we'll as east. is what might we'll be
called the hill country. In the de-
pressisns among the hills much hay
is cut. We are in Benson county OF
which Minnewaukan is the seat.
Oberon is north of the Shcyenne
river about five miles. There are
several small lakes in the vicinity;
but, like most of the lakes in the bor-
dering states, they are drying up.
Even Devils Lake is failing. Ithas
receted about mile and half from
Minnewaukan which was located on
it. The hills on the east and north,
and which may be seen in the south
west distance, with the beautiful val
ley between, give to Oberon charm
ing setting. The subsoil is of gravel
and sand, and by sinking we'll about
twenty or five and twenty feet the
very finest water can be found, which,
in state where so much alkali water
prevails, IS one of the greatest Of
blessings. There is no better site for
town along this railway from James
town to Leeds. A very good class
of people have settled in and about
here. There are three general mer-
chandise stores besides smaller es-
tablishments. There are three ele-
vstors-one, and the larger, having
been built this season. There are
two hotels, one church and one
school. This year witnesses consid-
erable building in the line of business
and residences. There is constant
communication between Oberon and
Fort Tetten. A great deal of the stuff
that is for the agency and the govern
ment industrial schools, is shipped to
this point. We should not forget to
speak of the Echo which dishes up
for us local intelligence, and now and
then, in a mild way, booms
the town. BY the way what better
investment can a town have than a
good live newspaper plant9 Oberon
has a brass band which is plated with
silver. 1t is not yet year old and
is credit to the town and would be
to any other town. Oberon invites
inspection. o. P. CHAMpLlN.

THE BREATH OF SANDER.
A Society Case Attrac ting Considerable
Attention In London.

LONDON, Aug. S-A society slander
case which is attracting great deal of
notoriety was commenced today in the
Queens bench division of the high court
OF justice. Mrs. Jacoby, sister, in-law OF
Mr.. James A. Jacoby, M. Il. for Middle
Division of Derbyshire, Liberal, and pres
ident of nottingham Chamber of Com
merce, brought suit Tor damages against
the dowager Countess Cowly who, il Is
alleged, has charged the plaintiff with
writing anonymous and obscene letters.
Sir Edward Clarke, q. c., formerly So
licitor general, on behalf of Mrs. Jacoby,
this morning said that the Jacobys, up to
the year 1893, had been on the best OF
terms with the family of the Duke of
Beaufort and other distinguished families
and at about that time offensive letters
began to be circulated. These missives
were described as being couched in in
deceit terms and affecting he character of
different persons in society. The dowager
countess, added Sir Edward Clarke in
formed certain people that the plaintiff,
Mrs. Jacoby, was the author OF these OBJ
scene letters and, according to counsel,
the result OF Countess Cowly's statement
was that the Jacobys lost their social po-
sition.
During the day several witnesses were
called In support of Mrs. Jacobys suit.
Among them were Major Gist, the Hon.
Edward Arthur Palk, brother of Baron
Haldon, and Mr.. Adamthwaite, all OF
whom have seats near the Duke OF Beau
forts seat at Bandinton, and who belong
TO Bandinton. All remembered Countess
Cowly referring in the hunting field to
Mrs. Jacoby as the writer of the letter.

with them whether or not prosecution

In the schooner race, the Yama, belong

ard Gould's Niagara, Isolde, Stephanie,
Inyoni, and Luna.
The sailing committee OF the Royal
Yacht Squadron has sustained the pro-
test lodged yesterday against Mr.. Palmer's

protests that Amphitrite did not sail the
race IN proper cruising trim as she carried
nine men more than the regulations al
lowed her Mr.. Palmer did not deny this,
hut claimed that he could not have
raced his yacht without the additional
men.

Chased By Spanish warships.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Aug. S.-The Associ-
ated Press dispatches to the effect that the
steamer James Woodall Is being chased by
q Spanish warship on suspicion of engag-
ing in filibustering OF persons, are con-
firmed by reports in circulation relative
to the vessels departure from Baltimore
on July 9. A number of suspicious cir
cumstances led to the belief in shipping
circles that Woodall was in the service OF
Cuban insurgents. She is a small steamer
of more than average speed and was
bought early In July from the Wood Ship
building Company by stranger, giving
his name as Captain Hudson of New
York, the price paid being s13, 900 in cash.
He said he wanted the vessel to transport
coal to Progresso, Mexico.
No action against her could be taken,
everything being regular. II Is supposed
that at some port off Florida or Mexico
the Woodall discharged part OF her cargo
and took aboard insurgent reinforcements
and arms.
