He has been in the state recently and l knows. He said: "There has never been anything like it before Tn Ohio pol itics. The supporters of Senator Fora ker supposed at when the deal was patched up, largely through Mir.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Demonstrations in Favor of the
 Freedom of Cuba.

From Our Regular Correspondent
 WASHINGTON, October 9, 1897.
 Cuba; it ought to be and shall be free !" That is the motto on the flag which the friends of Cuba, many and influential in Washington, have nailed to the mast. The new campaign for free Cuba was opened with big mass meeting. under the auspices of the Wo- mans National Cuban league. particl- pated in by many prominent men, in- cluding number of Washington's fore most ministers of the gospel. Other meetings are to be held. not only in Washington, but in all sections of the country, to give that hearty sympathy for Cuba known to exist a chance to ex- press itself in such an emphatic way that the leisurely and uncertain steps of the administration will have to be quick ened, whether it is agreeable to the gov ernment of Spain or not. At this meet ing picked choir of sixty voices sang for the first time in pubic Joseph Ad- ams' "Ode to Cuba" which he dedi- cated to the league. There was great enthusiasm. and those who are in charge say that it is going to continue to grow until it becomes irresistible. These people believe with the Cubans that nothing short of freedom for Cuba will be accepted. and that the administra- 'o~ zcbe.1= of -~'f >atio~ fo~ Tuho under a coutlnaaHce 0. spanish ruie is l--uI-I In La : -ntLnrn

 8 giadsoue feast oG the Carcass of {
 '---- -~v~ +I.o+ hos been dead fo, ! several days, are still so utterly ayers, to fish that they will starve before eat
 ing it. He observes that the tribe
 seem to have within them a lingering spark from some nobler and higher post civilization, the inference teing that they had for an ancestry some cultured, dominant race long since plotted out; and that many of them indeed the the great majority-have typical clear cut pro6les with high foreheads, prominent noses and firm jaws-features that never originate in a degraded people.
 These fact led him more closely into an inquire as to the reason for the sim gular antIpathy which the whole race manifest toward the fnney tribe. An army officer was the first to testify that no Apache will eat fish, but he could assign no cause. It appears that the Mobave and Yuma Indiaas who dwell on the Colorado river subsist en- tirely on fish and vegetables and kill no deer, while at one point where a number of Apaches were found living side by side with the Mohaves. the former could never be persuaded to taste fish, though the latter subsisted on fish diet almost exclusively.
 Conversation with a number of h. diana failed to reveal the cause of the peculiar difference in custom. Some said "no good" all same water" the latter probably limiting at tasteless- ness. while all gave shrug of disgust whenever the subject was mentioned. Finally our traveller found an Indian who was able and willing to give the true reason, or at least the traditional one among his people. We quote:
 He was 8 handsOmH, grey-headed man, tall, shout and we'll knit. Hoin- formed me that nc had served the gov efl. ... sa-0a for f.--- gears. -~@

their views" However, no open
rupture occurred and the bill
passed without cotton protection.
But now comes the senate by q
strict republican vote, augment
ed by several cotton senator's,
and put q tariff on cotton, as Mr..
johnson wanted the house to do
when the bill was considered
there. The vote in the senate is
so decisive that no doubt the
house will accept the senate's ac-
tion and thus Congressman
johnson will have triumphed
and been endorsed. There is no
doubt of Mr.. johnson s constant
ly growing strength in congress
and North Dakota may well be
proud of the record her member

If there is one thing the
Courier feels like condemning it
is the lack of interest shown by
the voters of this school district
over the outcome of the recent
school election. There were on
ly forty-four votes cast when not
less than $50 votes, including
the ladies, should have been cast.
The vote was on the question as
to whether we should form a
special school district and the
entire vote of the district should
have been polled. The great cry
has been for better school accom-
modations and a better school
system generally, and yet little
interest is taken as to the out:
come of this election. We say
that it is a great shame.

The BIG CIRCUS.

Wednesday, June 30, will be red
letter day in Cooperstown, for on that
date The Grand Lemen Bros. Ring
Circus will be here and give two ex-
hibitions. This is one of the largest
circus and menagerie in the country
and the first circus ever to exhibit in
this county. Should the day be IA
vorable we expect to see all of Griggs
county here in holiday array to wit
ness this great exhibition.
The Daily Republican, Winona,
says:-The Lemen Brothers Worlds
Monster Shows gave an exhibition
day and night in Winona, to enor-
nous crowds at both performances.
Rajah, who is SO largely advertised,
is enormous certainly the largest
elephant ever seen here. The boxing
kangaroo is wonderful. All the per-
formers are tirst-class, the menagerie
perfect, and the side show good and
minus fakirs or games of chance of
any kind. The parade is q mass of
glitter from band-wagon to calliope,
and the show in every respect is as
good, if not better than Forepaugh's,
Sells and Ringling Bros We hope
to see the Lemen Bros. again next
season.

The Glass Of 'es.

The Class Of 'e8.
(By Lillian Haskell)
Ihls will introduce to you the class
of '9s,
Who, with highest honors, expect to
graduate.
There is Minnie, Nina, Christian and
Blair.
Harry, Josie, and Velma SO fair;
There is Theo., Orry and Ada left out.
But we all will be there without anv
doubt,
With essays deep and mystical
That educate the mad,
And push us onWard in the world
On level with mankind.
So l will draw the future
What I think each one will be:
AS they start out on life's journey,
Across the deep blue sea.
Nina will be 81 teacler,
Minnie will be a nurse,
Orry will be q lawyer,
And of course, lie and curse.
Christian will be carpenter,
Harry will sow the grain,
Blair will be conductor
On the elevated train.
Josie will be q cash girl
In some big store up town,
Ada will be q book keeper
And write the figures down.
'Theo. will be a dry goods man
For his father who keeps the store,
He will travel the wide world over
And go from shore to shore.
Velma will be typewriter
For some big millionaire,
And will be a delegate
To the next worlds fair.
And SO each one will go our way
In this world of care and woe,
And wish success to one and all
Wherever they may go.
Our school days will soon he over
Aud our path through life we'll take:
Will it be strewn with thorns or roses?
Roses! if we work for Jesus sake.
But life has all it's troubles
And we, each will have our share,
So push ahead with all our might
And drive away all care.
OF course we expect our ups and downs
And sorrows more or less.
But drive away our weary thought
And we will gain success.
l trust we will ne'er forget
The afternoon in school
We tied the old school bell up,
The teacher we thought to fool.
When the plan was finished
OF course, we all looked sour,
But the teacher soon caught on
And kept us in an hour.
We thought the matter over,
OF course it was but just:
At last we all decided
That the joke was all on us.
Some time in the near or future
Many tears may fall,
To think that our old school days
Were the happiest of them all.
We thank our teacher very much
For his kindness toward US all;
We hope to see him back again.
1 bid good night to all.
