selling wheat without his knowledge and
then skipped across the line. Mr..

A PARAGRAPH copied in the PIONEER
EXPRESS last week in reference to a Rev.
John c. Hall who was preaching spirit
ualism, etc. at Bismarck made some
readers think it to be Rev. John c. Hall
who formerly preached here. We have
positive reasons for knowing this to be a
mistake. The Rev. Hall who was a
former pastor here is now in Iowa aud is
in the regular conference work there.
The remains of w. M. Cavileer were
taken up and transferred to lots in the
new part of the cemetery last week.
While he had been buried nearly fifteen
months there was but remarkably. little
change in the body and the clothing was
in perfect condition. A nice monument
has been placed at the head Of the grave.
Several other new monuments were also
set last week.
PEMB1NA's register of deeds, while
seated in a revolving tip-back chair,
managed to place his hand in such po-
sition that in tipping back he cut the end
off of one finger. He has the record of
this deed-the amputated lportion-filed
away with the other records in his office,
and doubtless considers it the most
troublesome transfer that he has had to
do with.-Casselton Reporter.
GEO. LUCE, former Pemblna boy
was visiting here on Sunday. George

DURING his visit to this section last

parate the work in this locality. Rev.
Mr.. Peabody is to move to Hallock and
take charge ofthe work on the Mime
sofa side and missionary is to be plac-
ed in charge of Pe,nbina, Bathgate and

the proceeds will be used to assist in

A GOOD sized audience turned out to
the Clarke lecture, and were highly pleas
ed with the entertainment given. Mr..
Clarke is really more of an entertainer,
as he himself styles it, than lecturer.
He is witty, bright, with an everlasting
stream of language. As story-teller,
and he tells thousand or so each night,
he is inimitable. In gesture, idiom and
brogue, of almost every foreigner, he is
completely at home. So much pleased
were they that large number who were
present, followed him to Emerson the
succeeding night to get some more of lit.
Mr.. Clarke expects to make return date
here about the last of October.
Alarge audience greeted the Fergu-
son sisters at Kittson Hall on Monday
evening. Among those present were
numerous old friends and former neigh.
bors of the family from toilette. Much
was expected of the ladies and the ex.
pectations, were realized. They have
magnificent voices, which are highly and
artistically trained, that of Miss Fanny in
particular. Almost every number was
heartily encored and kindly responded
to by the ladies. The program was
pleasantly varied by the addition of local
talent and the Short Orchestra. Master
James WardwelL gave his medal recita-
ton; Mrs, Florence Baldwin, "rhe
Nurses story and Harry Carr, "a Con-
vesationy in the far West" Ali of which
were excellently rendered and heartily
