the responsibility of naming this town
Hanna THE Moon to the contrary, etc,
we would say that the name is not spell

and also the Great Northern spell it H-a-

ofcourse The Moon-and Hannah herself
will continue to respect the opinions Of
the state press.-Moon.
AS we understand it, the Moon wants
us to mark it Hannah and not Mark Han.

THERE is grammatical tangle be.
tween the Grand Forks Plaindealer and
Editor Wardwell of the Pembina P1oN-
EER EXPRESS. The trouble is that
Wardwell being an old soldier, went to
Buffalo, and of course returned by the
way Of Niagara Falls. Mr.. Wardwell
wrote about what he had seen. He said
in his letter that "the Niagara Falls are
beautiful and majestic to look upon. {"
Further down he said: ''Niagara Falls
is fine town." The Plaindealer man
did not like to see the singular verb used
to describe Niagara Falls in one place
and the plural to describe the Niagara
Falls in another place, and he said so.
Now the Pioneer is appointed arbitrator
in the dispute. This is better than 70,
Wardwell to sue Carruth for libel, and
costs less. The Pioneer decides that
Wardwell is brave soldier, an able
editor and an accurate grammarian.-

There is a leasing of school lands ad-
vertised in the X-Rays. We think the
date is Oct. 9th. While it is really go
ing good deal out of our way in a
newspaper sense, to make this statement
we do it for the benefit of our readers
and for the benefit Of the state we; might
say in this connection, as we have said a
long time ago, that while it is not neces-
sary to put the whole list of lands in
more than one paper in county, yet a
brief advertisement should be inserted
in several of the papers in each county,
calling attention to the sale, its date and
where the list of lands could be found.

Elsewhere will be found the advertise
ment of the U. S. LAID Office for the
sale of the buildings on Fort Pembina
reservation. The sale is to occur on
Dec. 18th and involves large amount Of
property, there being between forty and
fifty buildings of all sizes, many of them
very large. The appraised value of them
all is quite low and there will probably
be none reserved on that account. It is
very sensible move on the part Of the
department, as the whole business is like
ly to be burned up at any time, and even
if not, it would not be long before thieves
and natural decay would take out wha,
value there is in the property.

COMMISSIONER ELECTION.

The PIONEER EXPRESS has no desire
to interfere with the election of commits
sioners in the Second and Fourth Dis
tricts. While the whole people of the
county are greatly interested in the choice
ofmen for this important Office, because
when elected they do business for the
whole county, yet the law makes each
commissioners district responsible for its
own local, representative. SO.
officially & stihas
questions Of a political nature come Be.
fore the board and in many cases the
partizanship is ignored and the questions
settled on their merits alone. Notwith-
standing, we are free to say, that we al
ways prefer to see republican elected
to Office, other things being equal.
What we would say, however, to all
conventions to be held in this connection,
while it really doesn't make great; deal
of difference to the county at large
whether the man elected to this or any
other county Office, is democrat or re-
publican or populist, it does make a
great deal of difference what kind of man
is elected. Hence if all conventions se-
lect good men, the final result will be all
right anyway. The qualifications of a
county commissioner are simply those of
a good, broad-minded, well-informed,
conservative business man. Usually a
man who has been able to attend success
fully to his own affairs, and who has
meantime retained the respect and re-
gard of his neighbors; man who while
attending strictly to his own business has
still acted as though the public business
was to "a reasonable extent part of his
business; such man, thus endowed with
spirit of private and public enterprise,
is good commissioner timber.
During the years since the organization
of this county, we have been fortunate in
our selections for the county board. The
writer nas had intimate official, business
and friendly relations with almost every
board, nearly since the organization of
the county and in but very few cases
have we seen any evidences of abnormal
weakness or apparent dishonesty; while
on the whole, the personel of the boards
have been above the average in ability
and without suspicion as to integrity.
We hope the selections made by all
parties in all conventions will make GER
tain that the boards Of the future will be
at least equal to the boards of the past.

PUBLIC SCHOOL PUGILISTS
Three Lively Contests in a Figueroa
Street Barn Yesterday

Whether 1t is the result of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight or simply desire on
the part of Young America to excel in
the manly art" cannot be authorita-
lively stated but 1t is fact that many
of the school boys about town have taken
to the gloves and some of them have be7
come quite proficient, from a pugilistic
point of view
The fistic interest reached a climax
yesterday morning, when six young
"pugs," who had been actively train
ing" for three weeks past, entered the
ring that had been improvisedin small
barn at Twenty-third and Fligueroa
streets. An admission fee of Is cents was
charged, and as the gate receipts
amounted to S5 the number of boys pres
ent must have been quite large.
Everything had been arranged ac-
cording to the code, referee, timers and
seconds being on hand. Five ounce
gloves were used. The gate receipts
were divided among the winners.
Time was called at 10:30 and three con-
tests took place, with no more serious
results than broken finger and tooth
| The boy pugilists were from 16 to Is
years of age and connected with goot
| families, but being still within the pale
| of paternal indignation they are mo-
| anxious to have their names published
| There was considerable excitement a
| times during the contests, one of which
was stopped and declared a draw.

Given Chance to Quit, but Found
With Tools on His Person

imitation $40 Confederate bill on Main
street lodging house, Keeper George
Richardson or Casey as his name is
said ITO be, gained no, experience there
by and is once more behind the bars
Casey was released because he told the
names of the. balance of the gang who
were working with him and where they
were to be found. He also promis ed 10
get out of town and do no more crooked
work The detectives say he has failed
to keep his word.
Detective Goodman has been keeping
close watch on the gang, and learned
enough to satisfy him that Casey need
ed taking care of. The young fellow has
been consorting with well known, dis
reputable woman, and was captured In
her room about II o'clock last night
When searched at the station a lock
pick and couple of skeleton keys were
found concealed under his shirt next to
his body, wrapped in silk handkerchief
