TIE republican convention for the 2nd
senatorial district 10 to be called for the

Is to be the same as the county convell-
lion.
Mr.. ]. F Londesborough has q brother
from Ontario visiting with him He has
been visiting in the vicinity of Aberdeen
but he finds things much more favorable
here.
Tuos. Roney and some other man had
some trouble over cards at Hamiltn last
week and a revolver was fred, luckily
nobody was hurt. Roney was held to
the justice but no prosecuting witness
he was released with money
fine. It will probably result in stopping
the sale Of liquor there.
MR. Geo. s. McTavish returned to
Pembina last week via. Montreal and
Winnipeg from his European trip. Mr..
McTavish states that he has enjoyed his
trip very much but withal, has been do.
ing considerable hard work. He finds
that English monetary circles are pre-
JUDGED against the Dakotas, giving as
reasons that We raise nothing but wheat
and that this crop is very unreliable.
Mr.. McTavish has contributed a series
tojan English scientific paper on
the cause and prevention Of early sum-
mer frosts, answering q letter on the
same subject from a scientific gentleman
who had lived in the northwest. The
question at issue being whether timber
would prevent frost. Mr.. McTavisll
states that from his experience that tim
Der, simply stops the current of air and
when thus stilled the air becomes colder
and colder until the frost point is reached
The Winnipeg Free Press copied the
articles in full but they are too long for our
columns. Mr.. McTavish thinks it would
be much better if our farmers would
diversity our crops and thus bring more
profit to themselves and financial con.
fidence in others. Mr.. McTavisll is
planning to open a sort of international
exchange Ill London, where he can bring
together American i,lens and English
financiers.

Joint discussion between Col. Benton aud

that Col. Benton is pleasant speekeI
AID has his hook specially baitled fol
medium tariff republicans without whose
aid he acknowledges his defeat. Coy
ernor Roach made few remarks, but
is evidently not All orator. A very few
ladies were in attendance ami but few
republicans. The latter being the case.
the audience as a matter Of course was
not very large, about 125 being present
The Prmbina Band helped to attract the
crowd.
On Saturday forenoon 1t looked ~
though our town had been taken. Col
lcctor of customs, N. l.. Nelson, OF Penn
bina, quietly informed us that his part,
was wl,oley under his cllnIise, and If !!n!t
were any duties expected lie woul,
see they were collected. There was the
man of Blackstone, called kneesllaw
who though, small in stature, is heavy
weight as an attorney. IL. l.. Holmes, q
banker of Neche, who proved himself a
whole concert company with brass band
attachment. Then there was the bold
Irislln,an, Sir Tim O'Brien of Neclic. who
was as full of music rs All egg il of meat.
The bold and Willy Norsman, Anderson,
was another, who from st. Thomas came
also others TOO numerous to mention.
What a responsibility Chief Nelson had
upon his shoulders. Tic party started
out for a hunt, got as far as the Bronson
place and it began to rain; Holmes said
it looked like the time Of Noal,, and pro-
posed returning at once, which they did.
Having had poor luck in shooting wild
game, they determined to try their hand
between showers, at The domestic fowl
along the road, and it is whispered that
many farmers hen roosts were visited and
helped to fill out the bill of fare. When
here it is said two prairie chickens and
lame duck were found in their wagon.
Chief Nelson said the party wonld leave
OH Sunday morning for the city of "orig-
iDal packages" and hoped next time to
have a more successful hunt, although
the trip had been a most enjoyable one.
