Nix. R. H. Lapp has secured the ap.
pointment of postmaster at St. Vincent
vice Thomas Reynolds resigned. While
we are sorry to have Mr.. Reynolds drop
out so soon, we believe Mr.. I.app will
give general satisfaction to the people
whom he will serve.

OF the unfortunates chosen to perform
jury service at the term of court just end

to be retained on about every case, and
declares that he never had such dis
agreeable job in his life.-Call Graphic.

lens court. Louis says he bought the
coat of Baptist Renville and that some
one swiped it off his clothes line in the
spring of 1895. Mr.. Fry says he bought
the coat from soldier in the fall of 1894,
and has had it ever since. The case was
adjourned until Monday to get Rem
ville's testimony.
QUITE blizzard on Sunday and an
other on Tuesday, but as there is but lit
tie or no snow, and the ground is frozen,
it couldn't kick up much dust. In fact
it don't seem as if old Boreas could get
a good grip on, this year anyway, and on
Tuesday Mr.. Ground Hog couldn't see
his shadow. So winter must be pretty
near over. Anyway it is the first week
in February and nothing very cold or
stormy yet and now it is not very long
before spring. Wednesdays kilograms
tell of very bad storm on Tuesday ex-
tending all over New York state and
New England, and is characterized as the
worst since 1888.

Dakota politician, and staff are at the

A stallion which was being taken
through from Winnipeg to Seattle by
Alexander Drysdale was taken off the N.
P. train yesterday morning until the GER
tificate of pedigree could be authenticat-
ed and amended. The revenue laws are
very strict in this regard now days.
Some years ago almost any kind of good
stock could be brought in free of duty
for breeding purposes, but now it takes
a blue-blooded aristocrat of animal to
come in without paying duty, and it
would be we'll for any person importing
such stock to take or send the certificates
ahead to the customs officers and save
expense and trouble of possible delay.
THE w. c. T. U. social at w. ]. Knee
shaw's on Wednesday evening was
success in attendance and entertainment.
The host and hostess did all in their
power to make pleasant evening and
succeeded in making everybody feel at
home and enjoy themselves. The pro-
gram was of a musical and literary nature
and very enjoyable. A "Klondike chat"
by which each gentleman sought to en-.
gage as many different ladies as possible
in talk on Klondike during given time,
was quite bewildering in its nature and
proved that gentlemen can talk fast when
they have to. Tom Chisholm's tongue
proved to be the most timber and he
was rewarded with a booklet. Proceeds
of the evening were $500 which was
pretty good for a ten-cent social.
MISS Johannsdotter, who came to this
country from Iceland as delegate to the
National convention of the w. c. T. w.,
and who has been in Winnipeg for some
time since, spoke in the M. E. Church
last week on Wednesday. Miss Johans-
dotter of course has not full command of
the English tongue, but nevertheless
made an address which pleased and in
terested her hearers. She also made
two addresses to the Icelanders in their
church at South Pembina, which are very
highly commended by those who under
stood her. She has since been in the
western part of the county, where she
