Who answered once the

While meath the flag they fought

They totter on their weary way
To deck fallen comrades grave,

Above the plain the dun cloud

From those old eyes leap into sight

and blood
Mixed in carnival Of strife,

To them they shaded all of life.
The march through cold, heat, snow

Body andnerve strainedovertime
The wounds that manned with rack

RUSSELL MILLER MILLING
co. TO PUT THEIR MILL
IN OPERATION.
CAPACITY OF $50 BARRELS
Mill Was Purchased BY Company
Several Years Ago But Has
Never Been Run By Them.

After being shut down for several
years, the Bismarck mill Of the Rus
sell-Miller Milling company will re-
sumo operations within the next few
weeks, according to the superintend-
ent of the western division, who was
in the city yesterday, looking over
local property. 4a
The mill was purchased by the Rus
sell+Miller Milling company several
years ago, but it has never been op-
Grated by them. 1t has a capacity OF
250 barrels a day.
Plans have been made for over
hauling the mill and putting it is
first class shape. A crew of mill
wrights will arrive within a few
days and it is expected that the prop
erty can be put in shape within two
Weeks.
Ever since the mill closed down,
considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon the company
to resume operations here. Overtures
have been made to other capital to
build o mill, but this one has always
initiated against interesting new cap
ital. ~.
1t is believed that the mill will be
run continuously. At least, the rep
resentative Of the Russell-Miller Mill
ing company gave this assurance to
several of the business men.

Republican and Democratic Com

morrow to Organize.

Several members Of the state cen
trail committees are expected to ar
rive in Bismarck today. The meet
ing OF both the Republican and DEM
ocratic committeeman will be held to-
morrow. Tlfe Republican state CEN
trail committee will meet in the Com
mercial club rooms
The purpose of the meeting is to
organize the committee and the Sc
lection of chairman, treasurer and
secretary. No one has been men
toned prominently to head either
committee. It is likely that the
nominees wishes will be consulted
in the choice of chairmen.
There seems to be considerable
sentiment among the Republicans to
adopt a simple and direct platform in
view of the fact that the several
candidates were nominated on their
own individual platforms.
The primary vote will be canvas
sed tomorrow, also.
