very good governor-though as yet, Mr..
LaMoure has expressed no especial de-
sire for any position other than he now
holds.
Go to the Fire Hall tonight at 73O
and attend meeting to provide for proper
observance Of Memorial Day. 1t is a
patriotic duty-it is every good citizens
duty to assist in this cause. There are
only four Grand Army veterans left in
the city and they are not able to do this
work as they used to be. Your presence
will, in itself, be of assistance.

A 9-year-old boy, son Of MIR. and Mrs.
VIM. kinna, living near Langdon, shot
his year-old sister week ago Tuesday.
The children were playing in the barn,
and the boy climbed up and took down
what was supposed to be an unloaded
gun, but which contained one shell. 1t
is supposed that the boy pulled the trig-
ger in fun. The little fellow carried his
wounded sister into the house and she
died at 10 O'Clock that evening. MIR.
kinna formerly lived at toilette in this
county.
Quarantine has been raised and Penn
bina is again Tree from Catching things"
With two cases of small pox, one case
measles and one case scarlet fever during
the last six weeks, this is pretty good
record and we think reflects considerable
credit on DR.. Harris, our health officer
and physician, as well as the families af-
fected. 1t takes judgment, frmness,
good sense and considerable unselfish-
ness On the part of both physician and
the affected, to keep these diseases con-
fined to original patients as has been
done in these cases.
The base ballers held a meeting on
Monday evening and organized for war
fare with the following corps of officials:
Manager, T. R. Shaw; captain, o. Son.
derman; secy. and treas, Geo. Leibin-
ger; directors, ]. T. Cockburn, Will
Coats, F. M. King. Surgeon, pail bear
ers and carriers of the egg basket will be
announced later. Besides the above
there are quite number of ball players
who have joined the club, and the public
will be glad to know that we have some
amusement in prospect.
We are requested to say that the mar
shall has positive instructions to impound
all horses or cattle found estray upon the
streets. While the fact is that no herd is
started or seems likely to be, for that
very reason people will necessarily have
to take care of their cattle, otherwise the
sidewalks, lawns and gardens will suffer.
This being the case the prohibition of
estrays on the public streets must be alb
solutely and impartially enforced, and all
good citizens will assist in the good
work, even if they find their own cows
in pound.
w. c. Short organized himself into a
public improvement society yesterday
morning and in few minutes got sigma
lures for enough trees to line the street
from the depot, and the list is available
in the post Office, any body can add to it,
and there's other streets, like that going
to the court house, and Stutsman street,
would look so much nicer. Trees can
be put in for Is cts or so each. and in
five years every one will be worth at
least S. in beauty and utility 10 the citv.
It's the best investment even in purely
peculiarly sense, that the citizens and
property owners can make. Nature has
done much to make Pembina pretty. So
much indeed that we are apt to forget
and neglect the vacancies, and we can
have the prettiest town in the valley by
the expenditure of a very little money
and some energy.
