"PITCHFORK" TILLMAN.
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman pass.
ed away today at his home in Wash.
lngton after brief illness. He was
in the Senate for the last time Thurs
day and shortly afterwards suffered a
cerebral hemorrhage.
"Pitchfork" Tillman was one of the
most unique characters in the Senate
and had been a member Of that body
since 1894. He had fire-eating quail
ties at times, and on the surface ap-
peared rather gruff, but was in reality
very kind hearted man and served
the nation well.
For several years he appeared on
the Chautauqua platform. The writer
remembers well when he visited Mi
not, for we called on him at his hotel
for an interview. The Senator was
nearly sick from a hard cold and was
lying down when we entered his room.
"Blankety- blank - shut the door!
Pull down the shades!! Now cover me
up!! There, I feel BETTER" was the
greeting he had for the writer. And
then we enjoyed a half hours pleas
ant conversation with him. How he
did rake the darkies, but we learned
later that the colored servants on the
Tillman homestead in South Carolina
actually imposed upon the Senator,
running the place abut as they pleas
ed.
"Pitchfork" Tillman wasn't such a
fire eater after ALL He was in reality
one of the best old gentlemen in exist
ence and the whole nation will miss
him.

Curtis Howell, one of the we'll
known aviators, appeared before the
board Of directors Of the Association
of Commerce Tuesday afternoon and
laid plan for establishing soldiers
club in the state Of North Dakota.
Minot may possibly be selected as
the place for building this club, pro-
viding it is possible to establish one in
the state. Mr.. Howell will also at
tempt to organize the state of Mon
tana The Board of Directors has
wisely appointed committee to look
into the matter Howell's plan is to
charge annual dues Of four dollars for
each returned soldier. The club is to
be used to assist in placing men in po-
sitions for which they will be best
fitted. The plan of looking after our
returned soldiers is good one, but
perhaps it is so big and so important
that the government should attend to
these men. In that event club such
as Mr.. Howell proposes to organize
would hardly be needed.

Rain Needed in This Vicinity.

The crops in northern Renville
county are in pretty bad shape from
drouth. In the southern part of the
county, around Glenburn, the pros
poets are much better, but a gooc
soaking rain is needed at once. The
later sown grains look all right yet
and can make good crop if rains
come in time.
This is the same condition which
prevails thruout Ward county. There
is a chance yet to raise a good fail
average crop, but the rains must come
pretty soon.
