Watson was sitting Ut his desk on

they'd send It right away, and l must

So Watson wrote az follows:
"Messrs. Sylk & Satin: Will you
please send at once the five yards Of
lining my wife purchased at your store
yesterday"
Let me see what you have written?'
said Mrs. Watson.
"Oh, dear!" she said, after reading
1t, that isn't half positive and definite
enough. They'll pay no attention to
that. I'll sit down and write to them
myself"
And this was what she wrote:

Gomez Exultant,

Gen. Gomez feels quite exul;ant over
the outlook for the success of the in
surgent cause. In recent letter to the
head Of the Cuban junta in New Work
he says: "Our forces have been very
active since the PRONUNCIATION Of au-
tonomy by the Spanish government.
We see in it Spain's weakness and feel
now more sanguine Of our success than
ever befofore. Autonomy has had the
advantage to rid us Of some Of the un-
desirable elements in our ranks. We
trust it may serve to still purge our
army Of men of the ilk Of Masso PARA,
Cuervo and other Majases Col. Ar
mando Sanchez Agramonte, with 600
men, attacked Spanish convoy three
day s ago and captured thirty pack mules
with ammunition and regimental
strong box with $4,000. The Spanish
commander and fifteen privates were
killed in the first charge"

A Public Benefactcr.

The Beatrice, Neb., Express, unlike a
number of other newspapers Of that
state, has nothing but good words for
the Napoleonic promoter, F. Z. Cradle,
who it would seem to sum up as a VERT
able public benefactor. The Express
says:
Before jumping on F. &. Cradle and
explaining in eloquent language that he
is public enemy, it might be well to
remember that he has done great deal
Of good in the west. has made some
parts Of the wilderness blossom as the
rose. He has furnished employment at
good wages, through the hard times to
hundreds of men. He has caused money
10 circulate where it was needed the
worst way. lie is a man of vast enter
prises and he must haye vast ability to
carry them as he did. When a man is
in trouble the old wolfsh instinct be
comes strong in the human bosom and
everyone wants to throw brick at him.
If Mr.. Cradle is given half chance, he
! will pay every dollar he owes"

Klpp Scores Gov. Lee.

A late Sioux Falls special says The
Lee. Kipp row continues to be the alb
sorbing topic in political circles and has
engendered much bad blood between
the parties to the controversy. In an
interview heretofore unpublished Com
missioner Kipp bitterly criticised Gov.
Lee. He said, in substance:
Gov. Lee should not have been nom
mated in the first place, and | want to
say that the leading populists Of the
state were actually surprised at his
election. He is narrow minded and
ignorant Of men and affairs he thinks
he is governor of the populists, and
seems not to understand that, even
though he was elected by the opposi-
ton, the republicans are entitled to
some consideration, He has quarreled
with nearly every state official. begin
ming with the state treasurer, when he
demanded that the cash in the treasury
be brought out and displayed. He then
attacked Auditor Mayhem and sought
his removal. Then he addressed letter
to Attorney General Grigsby, demand
ing that he resign because he would not
interpret the law to suit his excellency.
Now he is after me, but l am going to
give him the worth Of his money before
he gets through with me. l have
patronage in the way Of insurance state
ments which l propose to give out to
the newspapers, and it is needless to add
that will not place them among my
enemies. The charges which the gov.
ernor makes against me are unfounded,
and he has no right to pursue his present
course towards this office. 1t may be
thought by those inexperienced that
some Of the fees collected for examining
Insurance companies are exhorbitant,
but it seems to me that this should be
determined by judicial investigation
before the attempt is made TO remove
me. think by the time that the nom
mating convention is held for selecting
state ticket that Lee will have such a
demand upon his time in attending to
his private affairs that he will not have
time to govern the populists after Janu-
airy next"
