1t had occurred to our mind that the
controversy which has been carried on
between this paper and a paper pub
lshed in AIilaca, was of q nature dis
gushing to the patrons of our paper.
In the last two issues, not syllable
was said in relation to the fellow, yet
his last weeks sheet contained no less
than six slurring illusions to this
paper or to Princeton. Young man, if
you have neither wit nor brains, see
whether you cannot invoice some
where in your anatomy little COM
mon sense. Search for it carefully,
and if fortunate in finding grain, put
it to good use and desist from your
scurrilous attacks on people who are
conscious Of just about how much force
and mental power you contain, and
who know well that it is the essence of
folly to set forth anything beyond the
ideas of rat terrier for you to digest.
This is positively our last allusion to
your puerility, and anything further
coming from your pessimistic vacancy,
shall be considered only as sulphuret-
ted hydrogen escapings, that are pleas
ant only to people, like yourself, who
create the stencil. Presumably this is
beyond your mental vision, yet with
the assistance of a star actor on the
moral stage of your town, whom we
took the pains to shield, not long since,
you may develop mental vigor enough
to gather the meaning.

The town of Sandstone seems to be
especially favored. The Eastern Min
nesota will put in sidetracks to hold
hundreds of cars, and all trains for
Duluth and the Twin Cities will be
made up there. The Sandstone COM
pany owns the town site, and the board
of directors voted $4,000 for water
works plant and $1,000 for street i'm
provements. The company also ex-
pect with the S1O,O00to give the village
good water supply, all that is needed
for some time to come, as the cost of
laying at present prices is away down.
A conference with the Sandstone au-
thorities would perhaps be beneficial
to our city dads.

In This Case Bad News Travelled Slowly

WASHINGTON, Dec. More than a
year ago Joseph Hissmaier, former
citizen of Chicago. was assassinated
at Matagalpa, Nicaragua, and his es-
tate has been confscated by the local
authorities of Nicaragua, notwith-
standing the efforts of our minister.
Mr.. Baker, to have it turned over to
curator.
The strangest part of the astonish-
ing story is that Chicago relatives,
chief of whom is DR.. Henry Geiger, a
brother-in-law of the victim, assisted
by Congressman Edward Cooke of
Chicago have been working for year
to account for what was supposed to
be another case of renarkab BILE disap-
pearance. This information, which
was communicated to Congressman
Cooke yesterday by Secretary of State
Olney, will be the first authentic news
DR.. Geiger and the other relatives have
received of the fate of their unfortun-
ate relative.
It is needless to say that the state
department authorities are astounded
at the revelations, and that another
international complication will result.

three years by Judge Webb yesterday.
The judge in passing sentence became

his former friendly relations with
him. The sentence was a surprise, as
the maximum penalty of five years
was confidently expected, net only by
the victims of Meade's many crimes,

OKLAHOMA COURTS.
Attorney General Harmon Severely Crit
icises the System.

WASHINGTON, Dec. e - The Okla
homa court system is criticised by At
torney General Harmon as follows:
THE great and rapidly increasing ex-
penses of the federal courts in Okla
homa occupy much of the time of the
department. The total for 1891 was
s10s, ore. s5; for 1892, sl4a, 342.77; for
1893, S135, e24 Sf; fer 1894, with pay
ments to be made during 1896 still to
be added, S224s1o5. "a; for 1895, with
payments to be made in 1896 and 1897
still to be added, which will make
large increase over 1894, SIP, 800 45.
All the evils of the fee system flourish
under the peculiar conditions existing
in this territory, and the expenses,
which are necessarily large, are much
increased by the holding of federal
courts in each of its twenty-five coun-
ties. The territorial courts sit in each
county, but it is difficult to see why
the federal courts should be held in
more than one place in each of the
five districts. Nowhere else in the
entire union are federal courts held in
every county"
