NORTH DAKOTA PRIMARY ELECTION

of 1909 votes while the other three
republican candidates Hansbrough,
Little and Johnson received a total
OF 1147 votes.
Gronna will run ahead of Marshall
in this county and will have a good
majority over Engerud. This is ow-
ing to local reasons and the fact that
Gronna is better known.
In 13 precincts reported from the
county, including one from the city,
the fourth ward, the vote stands 263
for Marshall and 218 for McCumber.
Engerud and Gronna are running
further apart, Gronna leading and
from the same number of precincts
Gronna's vote is given at 318, En-
gerud 1853. There were many votes
for McCumber and Gronna. Should
this ratio continue thruout the coun-
ty McCumber will not run far be-
hind Marshall. Stutsman county has
been claimed as one of the banner
Marshall counties.

fact that the artists know the secret

brocades aud tapestries. exquisite cloi-

fortunate few, but also in the further
and more important fact that the
daily life of the poor is surrounded,
permeated, interfused by taste and re-
f1nement. Even the workmen in their
gardens and homes are daily using
tasteful domestic implements which
are the outgrowth Of the thought and
needs of the people.
The designs and proportions Of the

COULDN'T PICK OUT THE JACK

COULDN'T PICK OUT THE JACK
Seattle, June 28.-Solomon F. Ro-
din, country youth from Barnes
county, North Dakota, who has been
in this city on a sight seeing tour;
has learned how easy it is to pick out
q deuce from dirty deck of cards
when he aimed to select a jack. AS
q result of his short trip here he has
lost 5000 in currency and is loiter-
ing around police headquarters in the
hope that $500 in gold found on Har-
ry Hatch hotel clerk, whom he
CHARGES with buncoing him, will be
turned over to him by the police.
Hatch was caught after a hue and
cry through a crowded street.
Rodin fell in with two companions
who looked like and said they were
farmers. They invited Rodin to
drink with them at quiet place and
he accepted. Then they drifted from
checkers to pool and from pool to
whist. Then it was suggested they
try to play poker. Finally one of
the farmers" spread out five cards
showing jack. Hatch bet Rodin he
could not pick out the jack, and Ro-
din showed out $500 in gold to back
his belief to the contrary. Seeing
the glittering gold Hatch grabbed it
and ran. .Rodin followed, yelling like
an Indian. Hatch was caught by a
policeman and the $500 found in his
pocket. Rodin identified the money
fairly we'll, but the police are inves-
tigating the case before they turn
over the money to him.

TWO DROWNED IN PIPEsTEN1

1"O UNIV NED IN 1-11 EIO1 HM
A sad double drowning occurred
near Sykeston, Monday, of this week,
in the Pipestem river, two little girls,
Maggie Otto and Leona Rembolt,
aged 13 and II respectively, stepping
into a deep hole, while bathing near
a dam in the stream and drowned in
view of their comrades. Relatives
were called to Sykeston by the sad
accident, from the Adventist camp
meeting, which they were attending
at Jamestown.
Together with a number of other
children, the two little girls were
bathing in wide place in the stream
caused by dam, some distance from
the rest, when the younger, Leona,
stepped into the hole. She screamed
for help when she rose, and Maggie
Otto went to her aid The struggling
girl caught her however, and pulled
her into the hole also. BY this time
all the children had reached the spot
and a third girl, Matilda Beetz, tried
to save the two, but the frightened
girls almost dragged her into the
hole by their frantic struggles, and
tore her skirt of before she could es-
cape. The two, Leona and Maggie
were drowned in sight of their COM
rades. Their bodies were recovered
half an hour later by their parents.
Maggie is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Otto and Leona's parents
are Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Rembolt.
The funeral was held Tuesday.

History Of
The Uprising

4ueT0 are Two OF luIec uIueicut
brands Of them. One is sometimes
called tariff insurgents. Another is
styled rules insurgents. Still others
are insurgents on such matters as r
poration legislation and conservation.
In a general way they conceive them
selves to be more in accord with the
Roosevelt ideas in those particulars
than are the regulars. However, prac-
tically all the insurgents, whether in
the senate or the house, are for a re-
form in the rules, and that they are
winning their fight in the house is
shown by the successive defeats of
Speaker Cannon. The test vote that
deprived him Of the opportunity Of the
appointing Of the Ballinger ~investiga.
tors marked the beginning Of his
downfall, and then came the recent
passing Of the Norris resolution en-
larging the rules committee. Of which
the speaker shall not. be- a member.
after one Of the greatest parliament
tary struggles in the history Of the
American congress. ,
Senate insurgents. too, want a change
in the methods Of appointing commit
tees. They would eliminate Senator
Hale, who is the senior senator in
service. and Senator Aldrich from the
domination Of the Republican caucus
and of the committee OF committees.
Republican leaders smiled in derision
when the rumblings of discord and
dissatisfaction with the house rules
were heard in the Fifty.ninth congress.
When the Sixty-1rst congress came
the speaker OOH learned that the lit
tie band of insurgents had grown to a
force Of nineteen men, all determined
to fight in obedience to the mandate
Of their constituents. The insurrec-
ton had spread from Minnesota to
Wisconsin, Kansas, Nebraska and
throughout Iowa. Sparks from the
fire waited across the continent and
found fuel in California and Washing
ton, on the Pacific coast, and in Massa.
chusetts. IN the Atlantic coast. The
house campaign was directed against
the speaker and, as Is well remem-
bered, figured in the presidential cam
paign Of 1908. The Democratic plat
form that year condemned the house
organization. Some western Republic.
n came back to congress pledged to
vote against the reelection Of Speaker
Cannon. He easily held enough of his
party in line to win a reelection.
Some days later, when the adoption
Of the house rules was up, Democrats
and insurgents formed an alliance
which came neal to spelling Repub-
lican defeat. By clever politics the
speaker won over q handful Of Dem
ocrats under the lead of Representa-
tive Fitzgerald of Brooklyn. They
voted with the Republicans for the
house rules with slight amendments,
including a calendar Wednesday, and
save the Republican regulars from
an exceedingly embarrassing predica-
ment.
Prior to that time there had been
speeches and votes in the house which
indicated a considerable following of
tariff insurgents. but the insurgency

came Washington territory, now the
state Of Washington. and there he set
tied and prospered.
Starting from his home in Puyallup,
Wash, ON Jan. %, 1906, Mr.. Meeker
retraced his march Of fifty-four years
before, back along the Oregon trail
to its eastern terminus, on the Mis-
souri, river, then across Iowa and ILL
nois to his old Indiana home. AS he
journeyel he interested the people
along the route in the Importance OF
saving the Oregon trail from oblivion.
Their fathers and grandfathers had
helped to make it, but the past was
in a fair way to be forgotten. The
line Of a great transcontinental rail-
road parallels or covers the old Ore
gon trail for much of its way today,
but there We're detours and stages to
be marked before they We're lost sight
Of entirely.
So this old trail, which was one Of
the great roadways Of the nation a
century and a half ago, has become
known better than ever to the present
generation. Between Puyallup and
Omaha many monuments have been
erected. Mr.. Meeker, after a years
travel, reached his former Indiana
home. his journey and his task ended,
as he thought then, but now he is to
carry the work on to completion.
After he left his WASHINGTON homo
more than $500 persons contributed
to the erection Of Oregon trail monu-
ments. At intervals along the route
Mr.. Meeker, with the aid Of people for
whom he and others blazed the way,
erected monumental huge stone
bowlder here. a cairn of stones there,
q signboard or post in another place.
In Baker City, Ore. the monument
was erected by contributions received
from 800 school children. all Of whom
! were present when it was dedicated.

Difficult Auntina,

There is no pole to look upon
Up in the frozen zone.
The man who finds it must depend
On instruments alone.
Unlike a whitewashed clothesline posi-
Or like a walnut tree,
It doesn't stand, and so It takes
A sage the pole to see. l."
One who had never hunted poles
Might think it vas a snap,
For he has seen 1t since q boy
Right there upon the map.
He thinks that he would only need
Some doughnuts in a bag
To sally to its hiding place
And with the pole play tag.
But disappointment would be his
If it should be his fate
To find the pole, for ~thereabout
Is only good to skate.
He wouldn't even find a hump,
A hunlnlock or a knoll.
You bet old earth is pretty smooth
Up there about the pole.
No; it requires a lot Of sense
And instruments and skill
To be the one to do the job
And nohly fill the bill.
No dream book writer need apply.
A man of instinct rare
It takes, with science at his back,
To know that he is there.
