"UnfiI Death
 Do Us Part"

The hands of the old clock in the dingy waiting room moved slowly toward eight. The tcftct agent, bag gage master and telegraph operator in one, sat counting up his receipts for the day. and now and then turning to address few words to the only oc- cupant of the waiting room, a tall, thin man in clerical attire.
 The sunken cheeks and thin, white face of the young man showed privs- tions and struggles. but the light in the eye meant victory at last Now and then smile lowered about the mouth. and the lips parted, showing even, white teeth
 He looked at his watch uneasily. Ten minutes more and the train would pull into the little station, bringing Laura. his wife, whom he had not seen for more than two years. A scene rose before him: A bright October morning, a tall, sweet-faced girl with laughing eyes and brown hair, in a white wedding gown, her hand in his; the words of the minister: Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder;" few weeks of love and gladness; a fearful parting; the train speeding away with a lonely, yet res olute man.
 Since coming to this far western country, he had taken up his cross bravely. His life had been one of struggles. but he was doing the Mas ter's will, and Laura would come to him as soon as he was we'll estab- Hshed. Happy in the thought, be worked with will, and now, after more than two years of battling alone in this mountainous country, she was coming. What if, in her two years of eastern college life, she had grown away from him! What if she should not be happy? And love, pershaps she would not love him.
 With prayer in his heart he hur- ried out upon the platform, just as the train came shrieking through the mountains and pulled up at the little station.
 Yes, it was she, the tall girl in

CRAWFORD THE WINNER.
Defeats kittredge in Fight for South
Dakota Senatorship.

Dakota Senatorship.
Sioux Falls, S. D., June 11-Returns
from the primaries throughout South
Dakota are yet far from complete, but
enough has been received to indicate
that the progressive or insurgent Re
publicans, headed by Governor Coe L.
Crawford, have swept the state and
defeated the stalwart faction, headed
by Senator Kittredge. It is likely full
returns will show that the insurgents
have carried the state by majority
not less than 5000 to 1000, and it
may reach 5000.
That Governor Crawford has been
nominated as candidate to succeed
Senator Kittredge appears certain.
The stalwarts do not yet concede that
they have been defeated. The fight
was one Of the hottest and most pic
turesque in the history of the state
and was the elimination of bitter
four-year struggle between the insur-
gent and stalwart Republicans of
South Dakota.
Under the estimates thus far made
State Senator w. G. Vessey of Water
town, the Crawford. candidate, will
head the state Republican ticket in
the coming election as the candidate
for governor.
The vote on congressional candi-
dates is much closer than in the 9TH
er contests and the final count may
swing the nomination to either side.

THINK 1T OVER.

A short time ago cranky sort
of man came into this Office and
stopped his paper because something
in it did not just suit his fancy, says
an exchange. We frequently met
o. him on the street since then and it
is amusing to note the look of sur
prise on his face that we are still
in existence regardless of the fact
that he stopped his paper. Some
day-and it won't be long, either
that man>will turn up his toes. His
heart will be stilled forever. Neigh
bors and friends will follow his
lifeless clay to the silent city and
lay it to rest among the flowers.
An obituary will be published
in these columns telling what a kind
father, a good neighbor or beloved
citizen he was-which the recording
angel will overlook for charity's
sake-and in a very short time be
forgotten. AS he lies out there in
the cold, cold graveyard, wrapped
in the silent slumber of death, he
will never know that the last kind
words spoken of him was by the
editor of the paper which in life he
so spitefully stopped" Did you
ever pause just moment and think
that your editor, whoever he may be,
will write your obituary some dav?

CORRUPTION is ALLEGED.
Said Money Is Being Used to Defeat
Anti-Gamblinu Bill.

Said Money Is Being Used to Defeat
Anti-Gambling BILL.
Baton Rouge, La, June 11.-Inves-
tigation has begun of sensational
charges that a fund of $4,000 will be
spent in saving race track gambling
IN Louisiana from adverse legislation
by the assembly. These charges,
which have been rumored and COM
mented on in the assembly have been
made the basis of energetic action by
Governor Sanders. He ordered that
both houses take steps to appoint
special commission to investigate
whether any money had been used or
whether any such plans exist. He
also ordered special session of the
grand jury immediately to investigate
the corruption fund charges. Inter-
est in the investigation was heightened
because the anti-racing bill, known as
the Locke bill, is posted for early &C.
ton by the house. This bill would
abolish absolutely all forms of betting
on horse racing. It was generally
conceded that the Locke bill would be
passed by the house, but fight had
been predicted in the senate.
By vote of 81 to 20 the Locke anti
racing bill was passed by the house
of repres entatives of Louisiana. The
bill Is now up to the senate and should
1t pass that body. 1t will put an end
to the racing which has been fea-
ture of the winter season In New Or
leans for almost century.
In conformity with Governor San
ders' request the assembly passed a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of committee of nine to inves-
tigate the charges that money was be-
ing used to influence action on the
anti-racing bill.
