AT congregational meeting of the
Presbyterian church of Northcote on
last Sunday the Rev. R. johnson was
unanimously chosen to be their min
lister. Mr.. Johnston decided to accept
the invitation and will take the work
up In connection with Pembina.
A HEAVY snow on Monday and
Tuesday covered the ground about
five or six inches deepand made heavy
roads. While the storm on Tuesday
was disagreeable yet it was quite
warm and did not keep many voters
at home. 1t was an unusual heavy
fell for the season of the year and
may stay with us.
AS the returns began to roll IN from
the east announcing the overwhelm-
ing victory for Mckinley, the firing
of anvils and cheers proclaimed to the
slumbering public at the midnight
hour the tidings of joy, and there was
not many inside of the corporate linn

AS Mr.. Conmy was the only simon
pure democrat running, it will be
necessary for that party to base their
representation on his vote at the next
convention. Joking aside, our friends
the fusionists having this year no
separate candidates, will find it
hard to find out "where they are att

Just now it is evident that they are
one, but which is the one?
One fortunate result of this cleo
tion is, that the Watson-Sewall vice
presidential business which has 81
vexed the souls of the democratic
and populst committees, is settled
without any trouble to anybody; but
there will always be left to mankind
an unsatisfed, longing curiosity to
know just which tail would finally
have been fixed to the fusion dog, if
that dog had had its day.

McCabe will move to this city to en-

purchased M. VlasUeck's house in
this city for 81, 800 and Of course he
does not expect to occupy it alone.

Mr.. T. R. SHAW, j. II. Anderson
and Customs Inspector Kimmen, of
Pemoina, were in the city Friday
evening on their way home from
Glasston. They tell of a very narrow
escape that they had while driving
across the country up north and their
faces looked as though they had met
with hard usage. 1t appears that the
pole of the buggy dropped down and
the team ran away throwing out the
occupants badly iniuring them. Mr..
Shaw and Mr.. Anderson were thrown
on their faces and were badly cut up;
Mr.. Ktmmen was thrown on his back
and badly bruised. They remained
over night in the city and were kept
busy telling their friends how it all
happened-Grafton correspondence to

In view Of the splendid showing for
abe republican party by almost every
other township, the PIONEER Ex-
PRESS Acknowledges that it is heartily
ashamed Of the vote in this city. A
study Of the figures IN this city shows
some surprising results. II the vote
of Pembina had been what it should
the county would easily have been
carried for Mckinley, as it is, we
have made gain in the county over
four:Years ago Of over $50. There are
some candidates, one in particular
who never did a kind thing for Penn.
Ina and yet .the good people here
seem to have forgotten all about the
issues of two years ago, voted hard
against men who worked for us, and
gave pronounced enemies big vote.
1t Is certainly hard to understand.
