GFORGIANS AT WASHINGTON
STATE RANKS HIGH IN BOTH
BRANCHES OF CONGRESS.
Bacon One of Nations Big Men

Congressman Brantley Is Recognized
as One of the Legal Heavyweights.
On the Assembling of Congress
the Donkey Brays With JOY, and
the Elephant GrOans in Despair,
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The final
session of the sixty-first congress
has met. On the democratic side
there is a red blaze of fireworks and
rejoicing; on the republican side
the thick murkiness of sorrow and
gloom The donkey brays with Joy,
and the elephant groans in despair.
Forgetting the landslide of 1890
the republicans have not ceased for
sixteen years to taunt the democrats
with the fact that in 1894 they cap
tured the house in the middle on a
democratic administration. Conpar-
ed to the whirlwind of 1890 in the
middle Of q republican administra-
ton the republican victory of 1894
was a gentle zephyr.
And now in the midst of the glo-
TiOus administration of Mr.. Taft,

including that gibraltar of protec-
ton, West Virginia.
Some Who Will Be Absent.
Some figures which have long been .
prominent in republican councils .
will be absent from the next con-
gress. Most important of all is Mel
son w. Aldrich, the father-in-law /
Of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who,
with the assistance of Blind Boss
Brayton " has carried the state of |
Rhode Island in his pocket for more |
tnan a quarter of a century; and,
as chairman OF the senate commit !
Tee on finance, has so long absolute
~ controlled the pocketboOks of all
lne people of the whole country by
MS peculiar methods of high tariff
and high CD finance. Next is Hale
OF Maine-tarred with the same
Suck-the able lieutenant of the
ro0ber band of which Aldrich is the
aOIe captain. He retires with his
pockets lined with millions, made
entirely out of politics. We will al
so lose Julius Caesar Burrows of
michigan, whose chief claims to dis
uhction are dignity and reserve"
ana whose only claim to praise is
'nat ne retires a poor man.
IN the house the man who will

YOUNG MAN KILLED
BY EXPLOSION
FRANK JOHNSON FATALLY BURNED BY
EXPLOSION OF BLASTING POW
DER LAST FRIDAY.

Amos Frank johnson, a grand.
son of Mrs. S. Gillian, who lives
about seventeen miles northwest
Of Williston, was fatally burnec
by an explosion of blasting pow.
der. at shack on Mrs. 'Gillian's
place last Friday afternoon, May
9th, and died from his injuries
Tuesday.
The true facts in the case will
perhaps never be known as there
was only one other person present
and he was a boy who became so
excited when the accident hap
pened that he does not remember
much about it. 1t seems that the
other young man was beating out
a plow share and it is supposed
that spark from the plow share
accidentally fell into the keg of
blasting powder which was in the
shack and thus caused the explo-
sion. The other man was not in
jured and young johnson was
only burned, but SO severely that
death resulted. The door of the
shack was blown shut but no dam
age was done to the building.
Young johnson recently came

grandmother, and the body will
oe shipped to that city. He was
lbout 90 years old and was a
printer, but was not known III the

TRAVELLING OVER
WILLIAMS COUNTY
OBSERVATIONS OF our SPECIAL COR.
RESPONDENT AND SOLICITOR ABOUT
WILLIAMS COUNTY PEOPLE.

Norman, n. D., May 26.-Hos'
pitality received at some of the
ranches and farms in our travels
willalways be remembered. Among
the old scouts to be mentioned is
Steve Norman the God Father o1
the Norman postofice. He owns
four hundred and eighty acres Of
valley land twenty miles north Of
Williston, in the famous Little
Muddy valley. Mr.. Norman came
to where Williston is now located
in 1884, then a boy. He has been
successful as a rancher, raising
horses and cattle, but is now do.
ing some farming, having pri-
vate irrigation plant with which
he can water four hundred acres.
He has one hundred and twenty
acres in wheat and with irrigation
raises good crops. He was post
master at Marmon for several
years.
Along the Star route north of
Norman prosperity looms on every
side and the crops are looking fine,
and with the assurance of the Stan
ley branch of the Great Northern
railroad being built before harvest
IS oyer the farmers are feeling
fine.'' Thomas Walstad, Martin
Oleson, Andrew Berg, J. w. Den
ton and Gunder Loeken all live
along this route. These people are
certainly able to take care of them
selves, as when they cannot secure
help of the kind they want they
adopt that profession. This was
the case when Mr.. Leokens wanted
a carpenter and when he needs a
plow "boy'' in the field his daugh-
ter, Miss Pauline, puts on her
dads hat and drives a team Of five
horses to sulky plow, turning
over two and a half acres day,
and then takes music lessons in the
evening. We call that going
some.'' 7. A. w hite.

INTRODUCING new

Immediately placed at different
points in the eastern part of the
county where conditions were fa-
vorable for their being hatched
successfully.
This plan is being followed out
by the state commission with q
view to bringing into the state new
species of game birds and some
work has already been done in
Rolette and Bottineau counties
along this line. Only few weeks
ago a dozen pheasants were sent
to Fish Lake where they are
to be cared for under the direction
Of Fish Commissioner Main. In
the dozen sent out were eight fe-
male birds. The pheasants and
eggs were received from the WAL
lace pheasant farm in Oak Park,
Ill.
Recently the commission also
brought to the state thirty fox and |
grey squirrels, these being turned !
loose in the park at Valley City /
where the natural conditions are
such as to make it an admirable
location for the attempt at intro
lucing the little fellows into the
state ~..
Game brought to the state in this
manner is protected by law for a
period of FIVE years.

COURT in FAVOR
OF new COUNTIES
RENVILLE AND BURKE COUNTIES WERE
BOTH LAWFULLY ORGANIZED BY
LAST ELECTIONS VOTE.

Bismarck, N. D., May 28.-
Both Renville and Burke counties
, were lawfully organized by the
vote taken at the last election, ac-
cording to a decision promulgated
by the supreme court late this af-
ternoon. The opinion of the court
has not yet been handed down, but
the effect of the decision was an
nounced by the court.
The decision came upon a rehear-
ing granted and argued some time
ago before the court. Under the
previous decision of the court
Burke county was declared organ
lied, but Renville county was
knocked out, on the theory that
the two hundred votes in 'Kenmare,
which were cast solidly against
both propositions, were registered
de facto and could not therefore
be counted.
There were some six hundred
votes cast in Kenmare on the
proposition of organizing Burke
and Renville counties. They were
cast nearly solidly against both
propositions for the reason that in
either case Kenmare would be left
in a pocket in old Ward county.
Only two hundred votes were
cast at the June primaries in Ken
mare and as there was no registra-
tion at the fall election, the court
held in tho former decision that
only two hundred votes could be
counted, and that they we're regis
tered de facto by the fact of the
vote at the June primaries. This
is abandoned by the
court in the decision of rehearing,
and all Of the vote in Kenmare is
thrown out, as not having regis
jered and therefore illegal.
The throwing out Of this vote
caves both Renville and Burke
Counties with a majority for or
sanjzation and the work of the
organization Of both counties will
low be provided forthwith.
BowbeIls will probably be the
ounty seat OF Burke county and
lohall of Renville county. Ken
lare is left in a corner of old
Ward county.

tion and the procession was formed

of about one hundred and fifty
school children led by Supt. Eli
thorpe. Ex-Mayor VIM. Denny

the parade, which formed on East
Broadway and marched down
Main street to the cemetery. The
flowers for decorating the graves
we're donated bv the Book and
Thimble club and other organiza-
tions.
The veterans in attendance were

bell, Ancil Perkins and wife, Mrs.
Samantha Wood, John A. Todd
and wife, VIM. Mott and wife,
Mrs. Louise Hull, P. A. Pope and

widows of veterans are included

they just as truly belong there.
As a close for the days program
the veterans were given a sump-
tuous banquet at the Great North
ern Cafe at about 200 p. m, and

grounds to witness the game.

ball teams played on the Williston
diamond Sunday afternoon, the
game being called at 2:3O. The
score resulted in 6 to 0 in favor of
Williston. Fairview was a disap-
pointment as it was expected she
would play a better game. An
other game was played Monday af-
ternoon, Decoration day.
The second game was called at
800 p. m. Monday and resulted in
the unusual score of 12 to O.
Williston walked away with the
game from the start and although
her scores were all made in three
innings and practically all of them
in two, Fairview never had show
at any time after the second inning.
All of Williston's players did
we'll, the pitcher having a large
lot of outs to his credit while the
first baseman was always there
when called for and the catcher
stopped the sphere no matter where
it twisted to or how hard it came,
and then the short stop always
threw the grounders, what few
there were, to first without any
mistakes, and the other basemen
touched the green bugs" when
they came sliding in in an effort to
steal, while the other feldmen
reached up and got the fys from
out the blue.
The number of runs to players
credit is not always a true record
of his ability but it helps some and
thus Cutting comes in for three
runs, Gaylord and Parker two each
while nearly all the others got one
each.
The game started off fine with
a goose egg for both sides in the
first, but in the second the Fair
view pitcher allowed the Yellow
Kids to bat him around just any
old way and secure six runs in this
one inning. The Fairviews then
held Williston down until the sixth
when four more runs were Tailed
and the other two were made in
the eighth.
Strange to say the only double
play was made by Fairview and it
was in the third inning, but to
show the weakness of the Fairview
pitcher he only struck out one man
and that was in the fourth inning
while Harvey, Williston's pitcher
had six that we remember and then
some.
The umpire was moderately fair.
many in the grand stand seeming
to think that in some of the close
decisions he might have been a
little more charitable toward the

SOME AMAZING MARRIAGES
Among Insects the Bride Flrst De.

The marriage customs of insects
are dreadful, and, contrary to what
happens in every other world, here 1t
is the female of the couple who stands
for strength and intelligence, and also
Tor cruelty and tyranny. which appear
to be their inevitable consequence.
Almost every wedding ends In the vio-
lent and immediate death of the hus-
band. Often the bride first eats a GER
tain number OF suitors. The type of
these fantastic unions could be sup
piled by the Languedocian scorpions,
who, as we know, carry lobster claws
and long tail supplied with q sting

serous. They have a prelude to the
festival In the shape of a sentimental
stroll, claw in claw; then, motionless.
with fingers still gripped, they contem.
plate each other blissfully. intermin-
ably; and day and night pass over
their ecstasy, while they remain face
to face, petrified with admiration.
Next, the foreheads come together and
touch; the mouths-if We can give the
name of mouth to the monstrous orif-
Ice that opens between the claws-are

the union is accomplished, the male is

terrible spouse crunches and gobbles
him down with relish. .--..
