EXIT BURKE.
MandSn Pioneer,

Adviees from Duluth, received by the
Pioneer, indicate that tho creditors of Hx.
Gov. Burke will never realize one cent or
the dollar on the checks they have received
flom him. Instead of his having money
n the Duluth bank that failed. he owed
the bank $4,000. He gambled in wheat
with the money belonging 20 North Da-
kota farmers. His clerk gambled with
the same money. It was a skin game
from start to finish. THE is plan Ian.
guage. but those who have money due
from him may rs we'll know it first az
last. There is one consolation for the
Pioneer-it never accepted any of Burke's
advertisements, and it never urged, dl.
rectly or indirectly. the people of this
county to have any dealings with him.

Special Correspondence.

BISMARCK, l4th, 1897.
The Republican caucus last Saturday
practically ssttled the senatorial question.
The 64 Republican msmbers we're present
-49 of whom voted for Hansbrough
on first ballot und Is for o. H. Francis of
Cass Coss County. Mr.. Francis moved
hat Hansbrough be the unanimous
choice of the Republicans for United
States Senator, so ended the preliminary
scramble incident to the selection of
candidate for United States Senator-the
most peaceful and harmonious in the his.
tory of tho State. This action ON the
part of the Republicans is commendable
and is sure so rebound to the credit of
the party. The avowed political enemies
of the Senator found it impossible to
break the solid phalanx. Now from the
National committee that Hansbrough's
record in the Senate met their approval
and that they we're not desirlous of take
ing hand in the pending North Dakota
contest also had tendency to unite and
appease the contending elements. 1t can
now be said thai the Republican party in
North Dakota is a united one. Long may
it continue So. 1t is rumored that Ma
tional Committeeman Robinson (he of
the Fargo Argus) is to have the united
support of the party for Senaror Roach's

Twenty five and thirty years ago when
woodward men were ''the people" along
the Upper Missouri valley, they usually
waived the the holiday festivities for an
old time blowout on the 18th day of Jan
uary as commemurating the breaking of
tho "backbone of winter" With an un-
stinted indulgence in red jacket and x-t-1
bitters the popular steamboat bar drinks
of those days here, the affair more often
wound up with broken woodchopper's
heads.

THE ANTELOPE

Written for the Wa.hburn Leader,l
An antelope came down to drink
From out gl:ttering pool:
And as she paused upon the brink,
could do nanght else but think.
How beautiful the sight
OF her reflection clear and bright
Upon the waters COOL
And. as she turned away
called to her + stay:
She turned OIL me her startled eyes
Full Of u meek and mild surprise.
Then quickly turned her spotted siis,
And bounded DER the brook so wide,
And vanished from my sight.
So. then from day to day,
took my quiet way
Down by the. flowing brook,
And hid mo in a nook
Close by the sparkling pool.
For cherished Il wild II 20,
That my dear antelope
Would come again to drink
From out tile sparkling pool.
And pause upon the brink,
With footsteps soft and light.
And cheer my wearied sight
With her reflection clear and bright,
Upon the waters cool.
Alas! for my wild hope,
For my dear antelope,
VIII come no more to drink,
Nor pause upon the brink;
Nor ever chser my sight
With her reflection clear and bright
Upon the wafer cool.
For on sad, sad day
A hunter passed that way,
Before his dogs and gun.
My antelope did run
Until she fell, no more to rise
No more to Ope her sad sweet eyes,
Nor look up to the bright blue skies.
Then came to me this thought,
That certainly we ought
To frame Il firm, and stringent law
Infiexible, without a flaw
To save our antelope and deer
From these cruel men so queer;
Who come with dog and gun
And kill our deer for fun.
Far over dale and hill
To chase them at their will,
Until they.fall no::more't0 rise,
No more to Ope their sad;sweet eyes;
No more to pause beside the pool
Nor drink the water cool.
Mrs. ABRAM R1GGLKs.

If one lives right and does right-even
though he has opinions of his own and
dare express them occasionally y-he can
treat with contempt the darts and passes
of the green hued scandal monger who
lose their own tangs of harm through
endlses and senseless repitition. The
poison they would fling at another recoils
to contaminate their own smirky selves
