Agnes Baldwin. who was sent tos ,lle
penitentiary for seven years from Ram
sey county on the charge Of killing ! n,ai
named Jack Kinney, has served lie ifuil
length Of her term andhas been dischaIEs
ed. Instead Of returning to her old hcssl
or locating in North Dakota, Agnes went
to Montana and will start life anew. 4
Kinney wasliving with the Baldwin
woman near Devils Lake and while ne
was giving her whipping, she picked
up lamp and threw it at him, knocking
him onto the bed, when she finished the
murder by cutting his throat. AZ the
time Of the killing Agnes Baldwin was
over 60 years old and her victim was q
little over 20. Assisted by woman
named B.ue the victim was cut all to
pieces, and then buried near the house,
the several pieces being found afterwards.
A few hours later the Blue woman re-
GREETED her part Of the affair and told the
story ofthe murder to steamboat cap
tain, at that time running on Devils
Lake Bismarck Tribune. \

true statment that Mr. Miller is incompe-

while not SO self adictory in the ar

by every reader Of the PIONEER EXPRESS
for the last eleven years, since the pres

the publishers Of the PIONEER EXPRESS
will give $50 cash, to any school or church
in the county. to be designated by Mr..
Wilson, ifhe will prove the truth Of the
following assertion made by him in the
article mentioned. when there was
downright stealing, and irlarge amounts
by people Of that city in county office.
that paper, the (P1oNEER ExpREss) was
the last one to awaken to the fact"
On the contrary We will still pay the
$50 on the above terms, if the facts are
not exactly opposite in every case Of de-
falcation or mismanagement of funds
discovered in the county Office during
the time mentioned, and that without
reference TO the political affinities or

The news of a wedding at Senator las.
Dobie's home yesterday afternoon was
brought in from Daniels at an early hour
this morning by Archie Sillers, j. The
particulars are jotted down in note writ

this morning shortly before dawn, "after
the ball." He says: Thought had
better send you a few particulars con-
cerning the Beaton-Dobie wedding that
occurred at three o'clock yesterday after
noon in the presence of some fifty friends.
The groom Mr.. James Beaton is the eld-
est son Of Mr.. Vim. Beaton Of Hamilton.

hibition" war. Until lately the saloons
had to pay SIS per month license and
the county attorney Simpson was allow
ed a large share for his faithful collection
Of the same. Now the saloons kick and
Mr.. Simpson has closed them up. While
this is not exactly temperance work, we
risk the prophesy, that the result viii be,

not 50 far off either, that the prohibition
law will be enforced even in Dickinson.

The government has sof late years been
adding sea-coast defences Of modern
heavy guns. These guns have carriages
which are complicated pieces Of mechan.
ism, while the loading and firing of the
guns themselves call for much practical
and mechanical skill only acquired by
drill and experience. There are only
two regiments Of artillery in the service.
In this country there is a strong preju-
dice against a large standing army.
This prejudice is founded on proper
theories. and particularly on the ground
that large standing army is menace to
free institutions. -
On the other hand it is right and
polite to be prepared for war, and it is
proper to be able to defend ourselves
from any outside nation which might
through jealousy ofour greatness or COM
petition in commerce, or other reason,
attempt to take advantage Of our other
wise defenseless situation. There is
only one solution to this complication Of
ideas, and that is, an effective, trained,
drilled militia, and the first step to an ef.
fectiye militia is to make the militia a
United States government institution.
The militia should be definite, COM
ponent part Of the United States army.
Every boy in school should be taught
the simple movements of company drill;
and, by the way, no better athletic or
calisthenic exercise can be devised
than military drill to teach the boy to
carry himself erect, and have complete
command of his various muscles. When
out Of school the young men should be
formed into companies and regiments,
from which by regular graduation, those
VINO show natural aptitude and talent
for military science, could pass into the
regular standing service. 4
The officers Of the present regular
army. down to and including lhe grade
ofsergeant could and should be detailed
las instructors in the schools and towns
and cities. much as they are now detailed
to instruct in some o. the universities and
colleges.
Our idea is. that each state should be
called upon % I'll its quota ii Irregular
militia, Just as government called for
troops in the late war and this militia
kept up TO is minimum strength by vol
unteers i possible, and BY draft II neces-
|sary.

Funny what fool things an angry and
spiteful man will say sometimes. Mon
4 days Pink Paper has an editorial that,
ifwasn't for the gravity Of its subject,
would be utterly ridiculous in its self
controversy. We hayn't room and il
isn't worth the space to copy. But any
one who cares can find the following dis
tinct and clear contradictions in the
article.
First the whole article is a villi6cation
of the PIONEER EXPRESS for simple
4 criticism of the act Of Attorney Miller in
lettin g. the wheat thieves go who were
arrested at Winnipeg. In our criticism.
not q word Of abuse or unkindness was
written, only that in the case mentioned
our opinion was contrary to Mr.. Miller's.
Second, the Pink Paper, while roast
ing the PIoNEER EXPRESS for criicisine
Mr.. Miller, proceeds to insult Mr.. Miller
BY saying he was incompetent from the
beginning, and that everybody knew it,
which We think k'is pretty harsh ciiicism.
1hird. howevef the Pink Paper as.
sunhes that because H We supported MI.
Miller We have no right to criticise his
official acts, but.
Fourth, il further states that the Prom.
RRR Express is s.the mouthpiece and
organ Of an organized gang of robbers
ts'of the county" That the PIONEER Ex-
pkRss is against Mr.. Miller because he
is5a nonresident Of Pembina; that we are
against all nonresident officials who edo
not stand in with Pembina." Now, il
this means anything, it must mean that
the resident county officials, or some Of
them, are the gang Of which we are
the mouthpiece and organ, . and who
"are costing the county, thousands Of
dollars more than is needed, The fol.
lowing is a list Of the resident county
officials: I'M. Chisholm, Donald Thorn.
son, w. Douglas, F. A. Hart, E. w.
Conmy, F. c. Myrick, Thos. w. Brown,
and c. E. Jackson. All of these gentle.
men. except Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Jackson
were supported for Office by the Pinl,
Paper. Now Mr.. Brown and Mr.. lack.
son alone cannot be ia gang" There
are only two Of them, and it takes more
than two to be ''a gang" Who. the
other members Of ''the gang" are we
will not attempt to solve; sufficient for
this argument, some of them must be,

Commissioners From Canada Arrive
in Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sir Rich
ard J. Cartwright. Minister of Trade
and Commerce of the Dominion OF Can
ada, and l.. II. Davies, Minister OF Ma
rine and Fisheries, the committee sent
by the Liberal Government of Canada
TO Washington to sound the Republic
an leaders on the subject of reciprocity
arrived in the city tonight The two
Commissioners promptly retired to
their rooms and declined to see visitors
during the evening. Their object and
what they expect to do is set forth in
the following official statement issued
by the Commissioners and furnished
to the press:
"Our object in coming to Washing
ton is, in the first place. to see Sir Ju-
liam Pauncefote, the British Embassa-
dor, and to confer with him on several
important matters affecting Canada
and the United States. While here we
propose to take advantage of the OPP
portunity to see as many public men
as possible and discuss with them the
existing trade relations between Ca
NADIA and the United States and the
possibility of making these trade re-
lations broader and freer. The Liberal
party, which came into power in Can
ada last June. has always favored the
freest possible trade relations between
the two countries, consistent. of
course, with their own independence,
and, before introducing their tariff at
the next session of Parliament we de-
sire to ascertain as far as possible the
views of the American people, through
their representatives with respect to
these trade relations. We propose to
discuss the matter with them very
frankly and very fully. because we be-
lieve it is a business matter which
should be approached and disposed OF
in the best way. We see no reason why
the difficulties which heretofore stood
in the way should not be overcome,
nor why the discussion should not en-
brace such questions as coast trade
and Canadian fisheries"
The Commissioners expect to remain
in the city for week, and during that
time will endeavor to see many of the
Republican leaders, from whom they
hope favorable attitude on the sub
ject which will be discussed.
The Canadian Parliament will meet
early in March, almost simultaneously
with the extra session of the American
Congress, which Mr.. Mckinley will
call.
