FROM now until November it will
be caucus, convention, canvassing,
election. National politics, state
politics, county politics. Every man
ought to keep up with the political
news. The way to do it is to take
the PIONEER EXPRESS. We will try
to give it all. and as far as possible
that which is reliable.
The witnesses who went to Bis
marck to testify before the U. S.
grand jury last week on the reserva-
tion stealing--all arrived home
last Saturday. As they only testified
before the grand jury aud were then
allowed to 90, it is fair to presume
that either the jury failed to indict
anyone or else the person or persons
indicted were not at hand.
The Y's were the guests of Mrs. A.
Short last week at a pansy party.
Games and other amusements, with
pansies as medium, were the tea-
lures Of the evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Short are excellent entertainers and
the Y's want us to express their ap-
probation of the courtesy of their
hosts and their thanks for the very
pleasant evening.
A YOUNG lady registered at the
Headquarters Hotel on Wednesday
last and Notwithstanding the fact
that she requires more attendance
than all of the rest of the guests COM
bined, she refuses to pay cent for
her keeping. Landlord hubert
thinks he will keep her, however, I'M
til warm weather comes anyway, az
she is good musician and helps to
make things pleasant about the
house.
A NARROW escape from fire occurr.
ed at St. Thomas last week. An at
tempt was made to open a folding bed
with burning lamp on the top. Mr..
Chaplin attempted to carry it out but
caught fire himself. Mr.. QuigleY who
was in the room came to his assist
ance and extinguished the fire on both
Mr.. Chaplin and the floor. Mr.. Chaplin
was quite badly burned in the hands.
The rooms where the accident occurr.
ed are oyer Wedges tailor shop. and
ii the fire had not been stopped at the
beginning, large part of the business
portion OF the town would probably
have burned.
We learn indirectly that on Monday
Of last week the large barn and gran

consumed by fire and with it five or
six head Of horses, some cattle and
machinery and large quantity of
wheat, oats and barley, also a buggy
and several wagons and some hay that
was near the buildings destroyed.
The loss is said to mount up into the
thousands and is severe blow to Mr..
Clifford. There was a small insurance
but not enough to cover one tenth of
the loss. We did not learn how the
fire acknowledgements.
