T. last Friday, consigned from the Grand

ing first class immigrants.

they will be sent out on the range. He
still has over ZOO head bought in Mani

The Pembina Silver Cornet Band is
getting in fine shape for the coming sea-
son. They have practiced steadily for
two months on new music and are treat
to listen to. The membership is four
teen, all old players. They received a

INVITATIONS have been received for
the wedding of Miss Maude v. Bairstow
of Waukegan, Illinois to Walter w.
Johnson of South Evanston, Illinois, on
April 18th, at Grace church, Waukegan.
The groom is the eldest son of MIR. o.
H. Johnson, president of the State Bank
of Hamilton in this county. The family
were former residents of Pembina and
Hamilton but moved to Evanston on ac-
count Of the superior, educational adj
vantages there, and which Walter has
improved by taking university course.
Many friends here will wish him and his
bride all possible happiness.
THERE is considerable disease of a
contagious nature in the southwestern
part OF the county. Scarlet fever, meas
les and diphtheria are all prevalent.
Crystal schools were likely to be closed
this week on that account. 1t is said
that diphtheria has invaded the home OF
the late Thos. Whalen again. Four
children were taken from this family by
this disease several years ago and there
are two children born since. We hope
that the report may be without founda-
ton, for certainly sorrow and trouble
have visited this home often enough in
the past.
THE populists called off the w. 7.
Bryan meeting at Fargo, that was to be
held yesterday, because of the war ex-
element, on the ground that this is no
time for partizan work, and the PIONEER
EXPRESS takes off its hat and makes its
best obeisance to them for this patriotic
manifestation. However much we NAV
differ with them on questions of curren.
cy, it is indeed pleasant to greet them as
brothers on the plane of citizenship Of
this great republic. Thank God, that
in this great American nation, we make
a distinction between politics and patrio.
tism.
A VERY pleasant party assembled a,

venient arrangements Of their new home.
A game, which consisted of list of
words, one word furnished by each guest
and afterward the whole number woven
into a Composition" elected many
amusing and ingenious screeds and the

Mrs. Gus. Short. The party adjourned
at late hour, voting Mr.. and Mrs. Ashley
most excellent hosts.
