Prince, the largest elephant of the The
Great Wallace shows, died few days
ago from lockiaw at Wabasha, Mimi.
This is the same monster that recently
went on rampage at Racine, Wis, re-
sultlng in the death of his keeper. The
animal has been kept heavily chained
since, which. it is supposed, produced
blood poisoning, resulting in lockjaw.
The skeleton will be sent to the Nationa,
museum at Washington and the hide
preserved.

The Empire Comedy Co. which was
billed for their grst appearance at Kit

is regular theatre company and have
just concluded seven weeks engage
ment at the Grand Opera House, Win

cents. Reserved seats at Shorts Salts

In this issue we print two interesting
letters, both from Glands of the mid
night sun" which however are on op.
posite sides of the earth, and about eq-
ual distance from the north pole, Daw-
son City and Iceland. At both these
places in midsummer there is not even
twilight and the sun if it disappears at
all is for but short time and instead of
rising and setting, swings around circle
IN the sky whose plane barely runs be-
low the northern horizon, while in winter
it is the land of midnight without any
sun except for very short periods each
day. We would all like to visit such
Chimes. but for steady daylight and dark
ness we are far enough north as a place
to live in. Our summer days are long
enough and our winter days short enough
to suit most people.

Some early wheat will be cut this week
but harvest will probably not be general
before the middle Of next week. The
crop looks we'll, but OF course it will
take the threshing machine to make the
proof of the pudding. Up to this time
the weather has been fine, and the only
likely danger now is frost.

In reference to the resolution in the
commissioners proceedings printed in
this issue as to the examination of the
clerk of courts accounts, the PIONEER
EXPRESS will only say at this time that
there is nothing sensational or alarming
known in connection with the affairs of
that office. There is discrepancy, but
the amount is not large, the county is in
no danger of any loss, and the trouble
lies mostly in the fact that certain fees,
principally for citizen papers, have not
been paid for by the interested parties to
the clerk, and therefore by him not paid
over to the county; all of which will UNI
doubleday be settled promptly when the
exact amount is ascertained.

There is peculiar rivalry among the
Icelanders in reference to the selection OF
some day as national holiday. One
party wants June 18th, that being the
date of the first legislature and the birth
day of one of the great leaders; the other
party wants Aug. End as the day, that
being the time when Iceland was granted
autonomy by the King of Denmark. The
real difficulty seems mostly to be that
they really have no especial day worthy
of such recognition. Nevertheless there
is great deal of interest taken in the
question and they are nearly equally di-
vided on the subject.

When Cavalier and Hamilton get that

feel like they were not quite so far out in

dations ought to pay expenses from that
alone.

A copy of the special edition of the
Honolulu Advertiser, filled with the do
ings and reception of the ''boys in blue"
in that city on July 9th, has been receiv-
ed. The Valencia with the North Dako-
ia regiment was one of the transports in
port and by the accounts our boys were
treated to the best and had thoroughly
enjoyable visit. The initials .G.E."on
the wrapper indicate A. G. Elston, form
erly teacher near Neche, Carlisle and
other places in this county, who is with
the North Dakota boys, as the sender.
We hope that the boys may have no
harder time in the Philippines where they
now are than they had in Honolulu.
