The pioneer express. [volume] (Pembina, Dakota [N.D.]) 1883-1928, 1901-04-05

was not necessary to have fight in this
city. These local elections when fought
become so personal that they leave sore
spots.
We understand that the 81. O. T. S."
(the feminine literary society have dis
carded the study of Shakespeare and
are now pursuing the tragic and harrow
ing tails of THE Three Blind Mice" and
have already finished the first book.
The last meeting was Monday, April LIST.
The Enforcement League met at Fargo
last week and elected R. B. Griffith of
Grand Forks, president. and ]. M. Wylie
OF Drayton, corresponding secretary. A
'feld" secretary will be chosen later.
The report of the years work showed
that very large part of the prosecutions
undertaken were successfully carried out.
The Presbyterian Ladies' Aid will hold
their annual spring social on Tuesday
evening, April 9th, at Kittson Hall.
Supper served from O'Clock to 8; after
which a program will be rendered in
which Miss Traxall, of Grand Forks, and
Prof. McCrea, of Emerson, will take
prominent parts. Admission IS cents.
THE PIONEER EXPRESS feels highly
honored in having an original piece of
band music composed byJ. LaMoure, Jr.
called ''The Pioneer Express March,"
Of course it is too early. yet to hear how
it will sound when played by full band,
but as we catch the melodies from the
piano it sounds first rate. Thanks JUDI
die-tor the compliment, and we hope
the "Marcll" may prove popular enough
to travel the length and breadth Of the
land.
Judge w. ]. Kneeshaw will hold term
of court at Park River the latter part of
April. This is quite departure from
the old practice. 1t was generally under
stood when the law designating the loca-
ton of the chambers of this district was
repealed that the judge might be auto
cratic in the matter by fixing the cham
bers at Pembina, and the repeal was not
favored here because it would naturally
result i'll considerable Inconvenience to
the people living in the western part of
the county. The Judge, however is IN
clined to be very liberal in the matter,
and will hold court term in Park River.
This move will be generally appreciated
by the residents of western Walsh
Park River News.
1t was in the City of Anibmep, and the
time 3 O'Clock a. nj. Mr.. Highill was
enjoying peaceful dreams in his room.
Mr.. Highill is one of the most polite,
affable and obliging of hotel men. A
wicked manipulation of electricity calls
him to care for a guest just arrived on a
night freight whom said wicked manipu-
lator of electricity had piloted to the
hotel. Mr.. High1ll wakens from said
peaceful dreams, cusses late freights etc,
but comes down the stairway, en- dis
habille, SEXES the grip of the stranger
guest, starts for up stairs VITA curt
Come on!" But the stranger moved
not, until Mr.. H. took him by the Shout
der-shook him-and the dummy guest
fell in heap on the floor. And then,
and not until then, Mr.. H. was re-
minded by several wicked lockers on,
who were in hiding near by, that it was
very early in the morning of April LIST.
There's jokes and jokes, but it isn't fair
to take advantage of a mans well known
good nature in that kind of way. 1t
tends to sour the milk of human kind
ness.
~ had piles so bad l could get no rest
nor find a cure until I tried DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve. After using it once,
forgot / ever had anything like piles
