DEATH OF Ex SPEAKER McGILL

| Bismarck Tribune, Jan. 3lst.
The sudden death OF j. e. Gill yester
day is but another illustration. of the un
certainty of life and a striking proof of
the oft repeated quotation that "in the
midst of life we are IN DEATH" The man
who has been thus suddenly called away.
was but day ago to all appearances
in the prime of life, health and spirits.
There was neither in his thoughts nor
those of his friends any suggestion that
the day which had opened brightly for
him was destined to see in It's closing the
recall of his spirit to the God who gave it
and the ending OF the span of his terres-
trial experience. There was no warming
Of the approach of the destryer. Death
came upon him with velvet football and
limbs which we're yet active and vigorous
were stilled forever Eyes which were yet
bright and keen with an appreciation of
temporal things were closed, and faculties
yet alert and active were quieted by the
hand of the great conque. Or death. 1t
was another of the repeated warnings of
the vanity of things earthly and temporal.
To-day the laurel, and tomorrow the
shroud TO day the completion of the
temple of earthly happiness, and to-
morrow the destruction of the structure
at the mighty ana resistless hands of tbs
great destroyer aud the great levsaer.
The purple robe of loyalty may grace the
opening of the day and the gloomy shad-
ow of the pail may close it. Mau Lives
within a circle of doubts and uncertain
ties, the circumference of which is death
and no science of philosopher, of sage
of mathmatician, or of any earthly
genius is enabled to measure the radius of
the circle. Less certain of his end il he
than the leaves of the trees, for while
they are given to live at least until the
autumn, man is at the mercy of capri
cious destiny which may prolong his e1is
tence far into Its winter, or may cut 1t off
in its early spring. And to the friends
and to the dear ones Of one whose life has
been ended thus suddenly in it's summer
time of vigor and vitality and which end
ing has been thus bitterly abrubt, there
must go out from every feeling hea,t
wealth of apathy and prayer that
the power which rules the time and the
destiny of man may soften the shock and
assuage the deep grief of tn, Sc who
mourn the loss of loved one.

John j. Robinson, of Coal Harbor. ibo
most extensive grain grower in Mclean
county, was down doing business at the
county seat the early part OF the week.
Mr. Robinson had lately returned from a
trip TO Elm Point. and from his own oh.
servations, and from what Peter Gradin.
senior. had told him, he concluded that
Sheriff Hultberg was about right when
in last weeks LEADER said either the En-.
gllsh stag hounds or wolves had destroved
all the antelope. Mr. Gradin SAID he had
saen and counted 28 carcasses of mutila-
ted antelope within radius of three
miles of his place, and no living ones to
view. While Mr.. Robinson thinks the
stag or wolf hounds-as they are some
times called-are nuisance in a general
way--the genuine old buffalo wolves were
with the help of a few half crazy no
hunters--the real extermlnators of the
antelope.
