The Deadwood Independent says:
Conductor Bowker, of the Burlington,
who owns an onyx quarry near PringIe,
is thinking of getting out an immense
block Of the handsome stone to be used
in the "Arch of States" at the Omaha
exposition. This arch is to be built
over the main entrance to the grounds,
of stone from all of the Trans issis-
sippi states, each state contributing n
block. upon which the name and coat of
arms Of the state are TO be inscribed.
Mr.. Bowker says he can take out a
block of the stone four feet square and
eight or ten inches thick without any
trouble. This would well represent the
building stone OF South Dakota, as onyx
is much more valuable than marble.
Mr. Bowker has been taking out this
stone for some time and shipping it east
in various quantities. where it is utilized
for venecriug purposes on fine build
ings, in making soda fountains, and in
other ornamental ways. 1t is pro-
nounced of excellent quality, and Mr..
Browker has a large amount of it. At
present he is taking it ont on the surface
at the apex of the hill. where it crops
out, but he is driving a tunnel from well
down on the side Of the hill, to reach
the ledge at a greater depth, where the
stone will probably be of much better
quality.

Mr.. Pingree's Economy"

From the Benton Harbor Palladium.
The ''little country editors" referred to
sarcastcally by Gov. PiDgree at Buffalo,
are very busy lambasting his excellency
about the latter's very queer ideas of reform.
They say he lately bought 23 scrap books,
which we've paid for by the state, but which
II is suspected are to be used to preserve
clippings concerning Michlgan's chief ex-
ecutive.
They say there are number of clerks at
Lansing. costing the state several hundred
dollars per month, whose sole duty seems to
be to watch the newspapers and cut out
"pieces" about the governor.
They say the expenses of the executive
Office are in excess of those of any previous
administration, and that the postage bill
alone In eleven months is more than for
eight years under Governors Luce and Rich.
They say that the Office of railroad COM
missioner has lately been furnished in
luxurious style, with solid mahogany, at
great and unnecessary expense.
These are only few of the things the
''ltte country editors" are saying just now,
and the farmers are making some inquiries
of their own on the side about the governors
extrayagant tastes and peculiar ideas.
The governor says the men of aristocratit
tastes have attached themselves to the
republican party and are trying to humbul
the people. The governor, perhaps, bases
his judgment on his own experience.
At all events the governor ought to ex
plain those items about scrap-books, pos
tage and extra clerks.

Notwithstanding this, when it became
an assured fact that another company
was coming into Owosso: down came
the rates of the Michigan Telephone
Company, from $3.50 and 1914, to $24 and
$1S for business places and residences
respectively. And now when local
company of our own citizens has been
actually organized, the old company
comes out and advertises that they will
cut the rates of any other company ten
per cent.
The people of Owosso are not blind,
but see the animus. They will know
which company is their friend and will
treat them fairly. They have paid ex-
orbitant rates too long to be induced to
continue to support monopoly. On
the contrary they will, almost to a
man, support the new company, knowing
full well the result, if that patronage is
withheld, they are again within the
grasp of the monopoly. The new com
pany will very speedily have it's State
connections with Detroit, Grand Rapids
and other large cities.

five miles south of Owosso, Saturday even
ing. Games constituted the evenings enter
tainment, supplemented by sumptuous
supper.
Mr.. and Mrs. M. Punches. residing six
miles south, were pleasantly surprised on
Monday night, by large sleigh load of
friends from this city. the occasion being
Mr.. Punches sixty-seventh birth day. The
visitors took with them oysters, crackers
and other good things which completed the
surprise of the hosts.
The night of Silas Sadler's SD birthday
will long be remembered by that gentleman
as night of pleasure. The neighbors of
Mr.. Sadler, hearing of his birthday, about
twenty-five of them banded together and in
vaded his home on East Comstock street on
Friday night. The evening was spent in
social conversation and the fine lunch,
served by Mrs. Sadler, added much to the
evenings festivities.

Where Are We At?

Everything comes to him who waits. So
the county seat is coming to Owosso en-
spuitzen deu tuyfel.
That the recent action of certain men,
bers of the board of supervisors is, to say the
least, decidedly reprehensible, is beyond
question. 1t is quietly none of their bus
ness, as body, where the county seat
should be located, and when they arogate to
themselves the privilege of defeating or
obstructing an expression of preference
among the tax payers of this county in this
respect, they lay themselves open to censure.
1t has been remarked that board of
supervisors is responsible to no one but
Deity, and it begins to be question wheth-
er their responsibility goes as far as that, or
in fact gets any farther than the lining of
their pockets. Say! someone please inform
the pulsating public what that 81 500 which
was raised among the business men of
Corunna the evening previous to the last
board meeting was for? Was 1t to buy red
flannel shirts for the suffers in India? Was
it to convert the heather down In Woodruff?
drive the devil out of Durand; or furnish
fluid to drown out the rodents who are I'M
dermining the court house?
1t makes not one single particle of differ
ence how the board felt on the subject per-
sonaly. 1t is simply an act of justice to
the county tbst they should be allowed to
say where they elect to have the county
seat located, and is right as sacred as the
right of franchise itself, regardless of in
dividual preferences.
But gentlemen of the board this game
isn't out till 1t is played out. The second
city bit off more than it could swallow this
time. and had to recant, but there is anoth-
er day coming; another board of supervisors
will be elected who will have the manhood
to allow the county the privilege of vote
on this matter. This subject, like Banquos
ghost, will not down. 1t is coming up right
along now, until Its final submission to the
people, and the voters at large will see to II
that they elect superv who are unim-
peachable, and who are willing that the
majority should rule in this matter, as in
all others.
This is republican form of government
we are living under and not a Judas
Iscariot-S0 to pieces of silver-sover.
eighty, by a long ways, and candid, honest
tax payers throughout the county cannot
but feel insulted by the recent action of the
board.
| Personally 1t is a matter of trfling Inn
porlance, for tho have paid tithes to the
troublesome triangle forty years, will do |,
forty years more and do IL willingly, IL the
majority of the people say SO, but the In.
justice Of the matter as IL stands, is enough
to gravel sphinx. WARD.

Senior Dupuy de LONE, Spanish minister
to the U. S., wrote some time ago to Mr..
Canalejas. of Madrid, Spain, a long letter in
which he referred to President Mckinley as
''weak and catering to the rabble, and be-
sides a low politician" The letter was
made public on Wednesday and within "a
hours De LONE, who admits the authorship
of the letter, presented his resignation,
knowing that his recall would be demanded
by this country.
In the meantime the State Department
cabled message to Minister Woodford in
substance as follows: "There has appeared
in the public press letter addressed by
the Spanish minister to Mr.. Canalejas. This
letter, the minister admits, was written by
him. 1t contains expressions concerning
the President of the United States of such
character as to end the minister's usefulness
as representative of his government in this
country.
Gen. Woodford, therefore, was instructed
at once to say to the minister of state that
the immediate recall of Mr. Dupuy de LONE
is expected by the President"
The Spanish Cabinet was not slow to &C
cept the resignation, and thus an incident
that might have caused serious trouble is
ended. The prompt action of the authori-
ties at Washington is commended by the
press and the public the country over.

The Dingley law has already Outrun the
Wilson law as a revenue producer, despite
the fact that the Wilson law found enor-
nous quantities of goods waiting to come
into the country when 1t went upon the
statute books, while the conditions were
precisely the opposite when the Dingley
bill became law. The first six months of
the Dingley law produced Sl3, 500, 900 more
revenue than did the Wilson law in the
same period of its operation.

No utterance of the president since he
entered the White House has received more
marked attention or more cordial CON-
menda ton than that at New York in which
he expressed himself clearly and vigorously
upon the money question. His demands
In that speech were not only for the main
tenance of the highest standard with refer
ence to our currency but for such addi'
tional legislation as may be necessary 10
maintain that standard. There was no
mistaking his clear and forceful language.
Nothing should ever tempt u.s." said he,
''nothing will ever tempt us to scale down
the sacred debt of the nation through a
legal technicality. Whatever may be the
language of the contract, the United States
will discharge all of its obligations in the
currency recognized as the best throughout
the civilized world at the time of pay
ment. Nor will we ever consent that the
wages of labor or its frugal savings shall
be scaled down by permitting payment in
dollars of less value than tLe dollars ac-
cepted as the very best in every enlightened
nation of the earth. 1t will not
suffice for citizens nowadays to say simply
that they are in faver of sound money
That is not enough. The peoples purpose
must be given the vitality of public law.

The Owosso Telephone Company has
commenced work on it's plant and will
build one worth of Owosso. This COM
pany will put in an exchange here which
for completeness and efficiency OF service
will be second to none in Michigan. The

ed, and they are in it to stay Some
months ago many OF the subscribers OF

in the city making .such a request and
setting forth their desires. The follow

be very glad to furnish it at the prices
named ii we could do so at reasonable
profit, but as a matter OF fact, our in
come would be considerably less than
| our expenses, and an increase in the num-
| Der of subscribers would not help the sit
| uation. We fully agree with you that
the probability is a larger number of
persons would use the service, but we
| do not agree with you that opposition
| would be avoided, so long as promoters
can find people who will permit them to
use their 1.-THE people's) money for the

schemes, but ii it depends on some out

ton to build an Exchange in Owosso
and operate it at rates of twenty-four
| dollars for business purposes and
| $1S for resident purposes, we will not
raise a hand or say a word against 1T.
| 1t is a matter of Indifference to us
whether one year, three years or five
years contracts are secured; if the
people of Owosso will not give the pro-
motors their money with which to
build the exchange, it will never be
built l, or some other representative o
the company, will go there within q
short time, and will be glad to substan
tate with figures, the statement that we
are furnishing the service at as low rates
us the quality of the service we are fur
nishing can be furnished for, and that
any person or persons saying it can b'
furnished for less, will not make it posi-
BILE to furnish it. There can be no valit
objection to people taking for $24 pei
year what they have been paying $3t
for, unless they themselves are asked tC
assume the responsibility, financially
and otherwise, of furnishing it, and
they do not do so, we are perfectly will
ing to take our chances against tn
other kind of competition, viz: the kim
that is based simply on the quality OF TIN
service and the rate charged for it.
