his wife free, but was himself buried and
anchored beneath the water The cid
man seized the woman roughly, tore her
grip from Conlon's neck, and with diff
tieulty steered her to the bank. He
rested there minute before he went
back to tine men gaping on the creek
side.
Where have you got 'em?" queried an
excited spectator I'VE couldn't see you
land 'em!"
Tho womsn's down there" Lannigan
pointed down stream "She's half
drowned. Didn't you fellows get Con-
lon!"
"Conlont7 they chorused. @You took
him too, didn't you? We've not seen
him."
Curse ye, for a lot of blockheadsl"
Lannigan plunged again into the raging
yellow water. As he reached the middle
OF the stream he saw Conlon. suddenly
released from the binding lines, start
racing down the current fifty feet away.
The man was unconscious, he saw. and
was drifting helplessly with the flood.
he started in chase, yelling to the men
on shore to run down and strike in
ahead. But they did not hear. and fioun-
dered foolishly along opposite to the
swimming pursuer.
1t was a quarter of mile farther
down stream that Lannigan steered Con
Ions body ashore. He sent some of the
men back to look after the Indian
woman, and tried to rub the life back
into the white mans veins But Conlon
was dead, beyond human resurrection.
and they brought him, with hating steps.
up to his wife. When she saw him. stark
and unresponsive to her kisses, she threw
herself across his breast, crying, Con
lon! Oh, Jim!"
Out Of sight of the woman, with a
large sympathy in his Irish heart, Lanni
gan voiced tie general sentiment when he
said:
"All round, It's a good thing that Con
Ions out of it. He muddled everything he
touched till we couldn't make head nor
tail of it, making the right wrong and
the wrong well, I'm of opinion he tried
that. But he couldn't, not at ALI No
more can you or me"
But the Indian woman didn't agree
with that. BY some uncommon quality
Conlon had, for her, reconciled the right
and Inc wrong, the good and the bad, and
made confusion clear. His had been
cluttered life-yes, she would have ad-
mitted it and yet the essential thing to
her seemed, after all, that she and the
girls loved Conlon, and that Conlon had
loved them. That was simple, and very
plain to her. So she took him home in
Lannigan's wagon, and would have only
the three weeping half breed girls to help
bury him.-New York Evening Post.

A sEAsoNABLE LAMENT.

Oh, my heart is throbbIng sadly,
To sad and low refrain,
For those days of summer solace
Which will ne'er return again;
And the mem'ry of the bygOne
Comes upon me with thud-
For the year is IN It's d0tage
And the clam is in the mud
Oh. the Incense of those bakings,
1hat the summer season knew.
How II steals upon the senses
With a charm forever new,
How the long departed chowders
seem again my duet 10 food.
But-"the frost is on the pumpkin
ANA the clam is in the mud.
Peace, my soul. and cease your longing;
Heart, give DER your sad refrain.
summer suns shall greet the morrow,
Balmy airs will blow again;
ANA the tOot Of river steamers
STIR anew my sluggish blood.
Tho today the leaves are yellow
And the clam is In the mud
So. farewell then, for season,
An reFoir. but not good bye
cassie clam cake, ecstatic chowder
Detachable quohaug pie:
Fare ye well, but not forever.
Roasted ear and freckled spud-
For the year Is in its dOtage
And the clam is in the mud.

The silvery cadences Of theme,
The rapturings that llnger deep
In the vast Gains Of dream.
And though I know that round me burn
The dying ardors of the leaf,
Like cmbers blowing in an Urn,
My spirit feels no grief.

A. johnson, 154; Frauk Martin.
156.
The caucus was held in the Oh
flee OF the Edwards Wood Co.,.
and Martin Jacobson WAS chosen
chairman and N. Davis secretary.
Great excitement prevailed thru
out the city during the after
noon. Many votes from each
side were challenged and sworn
in. Each faction claims that
men were voted from Huvrp,
Mont, to st. Paul. However,
this is. the result was IL surprise
to everyone.
The streets were lined with
drunken railroadel.s who had
caught the spirit and grew re-
bellious. Four DRINKS were run
in and there were 80 who should
have been dealt with likewise,
but the police force was not ade-
quate to the mob. Chief kilnball
did everything he could, but
could do little against the great
number OF intoxicated fellows.
The sight was never seen before
in Minot. There were 20 drunk
en- fights in an hour, and dozens
were seen zigzagging along the
streets with black eyes, scratched
faces and bloody noses. This
was the most disgraceful part OF
the whole performance and the
Independent regrets that this
occurred. No particular faction
is responsible for this.

REGULAR ORGANIZA-
TON WINS VICTORY
Conservative Estimates Of the Result Of the
Caucuses Held in the County Up to Date
Date Show SO for the Regulars and 80
for the insurgents.

The first fight which took place
turnout the county at the eau.
cuses resulted in a grand victory
for the regular county organiza-
ton OF the Republican party. Up
to going to press the reports
sent in with the credentials show
that the regular county organi-
zation received 50 of the dele
gates while the insurgents got
but 30. This is a conservative
estimate and not padded or dis
figured. There are still nearly
55 precincts to hear from and all
that the regulars need yet are
but eight or ten votes to make
them safe.
These and many more are now
in sight and it is believed that
the organization willhave nearly
three delegates at the Saturdays
convention to one OF the dele
gates for the insurgents.
Minot, which had been thot
OF as belonging to the re-organ-
izers, surprised everyone by roll
ing up majority OF so for the
regulars. The following is the

With precious few exceptions, no
barber over 40 can find a job. 1t is
explained to me that by the time that
age is reached "tonsorial artists" are
patrons Hundreds drop out of the
trade annually, to become bartenders,
peddlers, walters. Or butchers. Most
of them are butchers art all times.
Ninety out of a hundred never try to
become proficient in their calling.
They would not be capable of giving
you satisfactory shave or hair cut in
a thousand years. Men will go miles
to find a good barber.-New York
