although ostensibly organized for
mental Improvement and literary and
social culture, nothing has ever been
attempted in this line. The club was
furnished with all fixtures and ap.
planes for II second class saloon, and
the conclusion is rightly made thai
the sole object Of these organizations
was the evasion of the law. The

For every shooting star he claimed kiss.

But he, persisting, would not be denied
When be at length flying meteor spied.
And SO. as evening grew apsce their eyes
on scanned the glittering aspect Of the skies:
And when a darling star caught others sight
sound of kissing broke upon the night.
And SO 1t came to pass anon that she
Looked for a shooting star as much as he
Nay. II by chance a star escaped his view,
She called his wandering flncy to it, too.
When intervals seemed long between each hug
She called him on a passing lightning bug;
And, ever uxing her ingenious mind,
Her ready wit enabled her to find
More shooting stars in three short fseting hours
Than would compose whole meteoric showers,
But when she did her last pretext exhaust
And was about to yield her cause as lost
She saw a switchman's lantern circling swing
And got the youth down to a steady thing.

in one of these unused wells and came to

calf was dead, but consented to go down

Winona Republican: The adj
mission into the Union Of the four new
States Of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Washington, suggests
to the Sioux City Journal that the
reflection that with eight new United
States Senator'S and five new members
of the House Of Representatives, the
Northwest ought henceforth. to make
its influence felt in Congress. The
interests Of the Northwest, as the
Journal says, have not been guarded
and fosterei as they should have been.
On the contrary they have been
grossly neglected aud have accordingly
suffered greatly through the action or
inactjon of the government.-The
people Of the East and their repre-
sentatives are not to be denounced on
this account. The result was newt
able from the situation. The Eastern
States have had interests of their own
to look after. They have been en-.
crossed with their own immediate
affairs. Nor could they be expected
to understand the situation Of the
new Northwest. The main develop
ment of the Northwest has occurred in
very recent years. The settlement
Of South Dakota, North Dakota
Montana and Washington has been

part the work Of the past ten years

appreciate the extent and rapidity Of
this wonderful development. They
could not realize the fact that thus
there have grown up in the new
Northwest great commonwealths hay
ing an aggregate population of more
than IL million souls with correspond

These new commonwealths, being un
able to secure admission to statehood
had no direct or adequate representa-
ton in the national government
They were voiceless in the Unitee
States Senate. They had n, voice
in the House Of Representatives
They did not count in the electoral
colleges. Until the present yea,
their governors and high officers were
