When he took poison here on Memorial
Day ne left a will in which he directed
that his corpse he Cremated. and that
the ashes be mixed with sufficient cement

Majority of 5000.

forty-one out of seventy-five counties

years old. when he accidentally shot his
right eye out with an arrow gun. At
that time he was a page in the Missis-

stone.
Gore has won laurels in politics and
law. A page at eleven. nominee for the
legislature at nineteen. Populist electcr
at large in Mississippi three years later,
unanimously elected in 1900 for Congress
by the Populists in Texas. Such is the
political history Of Thomas Pryor Gore.
But always he was defeated. He never
held Office since his paEeship.
Cores character is best portrayed by
these instances: When told by his father
that he must prepare to attend a school
for the blind. he replied. Il will go to
school here" and he did. He had his
books read to him. and relied entirely on
his memory, and took first honors in his
class. That memory defeated Congress
man Money.
The Congressman was 70 speak in
Hohenlinden. Mr.. Gore. twenty and
blind. requested a division of time. Mr.
Money rudely replied. Il will speak as
long as I please. you are at liberty to do
the same" He spoke for three hours
The younger man waited patiently. and
then entertained the rural crowd for four
hours. He quoted the Congressional
Record. page by page. Of his celebrated
antagonist. ridcuIing him numerically.
At the close the thoroughly enraged
Congressman remarked. If YOU were not
blind I would debate with you in another
way" Then came this reply:
Congressman. blindfold yourself and
come on" But the challenge went IN
needed.

The recent statement that he intended

He hopes that those who do not get re-

the will for the deed. Several thousand
messages came from Americans alone.
and if he set out to reply to them all he

North Dakota's Building.

The Ledger-Dispatch, published at
Norfolk, Va, says:
The North Dakota building at the
jamestown Exposition has been com
pleted, and the keys turned over to G..
A. Everhart of that state, who has
been sponsor for the erection of the
building and who will preside over it
during the exposition.
The site of the North Dakota build
ing 10 one of the most desirable on the
grounds, being in the midst of those
selected by Virginia, Maryland, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and commands a
beautiful view of the Hampton Roads,;
on which will be, held the splendid
national review.
The lot is 5Oxl65 feet and the at
tractive building is pleasantly located
with a view to being easy Of access to
all parts of the grounds as we'll as
having a clear outlook upon the great
body of water beyond. There is no
finer site on the exposition grounds.
The building is completely furnished
and is the first one in the name of any
state to be turned over to the pro-
spective occupants. It has a delight
full reception room, 20x4O feet, with all
modern conveniences, and rooms up
stairs for the retirement and rest of
the visitors from North Dakota. 1t is
ample and commodious, and we'll de-
signed for its purposes.
MI. Everhart, who is from North
Dakota, has purchased the lot and
furnished every dollar necessary for
the building and its furnishings.
The Legislature of North Dakota
meets early in January, and it is
hoped that Mr. Everhart will be named
as the commissioner and that it will
see lit to make a small appropriation
for an exhibit and entertainment of
Dakotans who come to the exposition.
The erection of the building has

part of Mr. Everhart. He was spend
ing the winter here, and as the legis-
laturs of his state did not meet in time
he declared that North Dakota should
be represented, and went ahead with
the building just completed.
Senator Hansbrough aided the ex-
position in congress, and expressed
the hope Of attending. it next spring,
and there will doubtless be thousands
of North Dakota people here during
the exposition.
"The building" says Mr.. Everhart,
sis ample for an exhibit and for the
reception of my fellow states people,
and while I hope and believe that the
legislature will appreciate the spirit
in which I have acted I am determined
that North Dakota shall be represent
ed, and it will be if I have to stay in
the building alone and welcome such
as come, and exhibit anything that the
people send me-"
North Dakota will no doubt rise to
the occasion, and respond in proper
spirit. The state has the resources
for q great exhibit and should make
it.
