damages for an assault by bull owned
by the latter for 81, 200, at the last term
of the court here, has been appealed to
the supreme court by Bangs, Hamilton
T. Cooley attorneys for the defence.
A meeting of the Twenty five Thous-
and Club" is called at Crookston, Min
nesota, on Sept. Oath, 25th. The object
of this club is the general immigration
and commercial benefit of the Red
river valley. The Northern Minnesota
Editorial Association will meet there on
the same dates.
Rev. j. G. Moore dropped in between
trains on Monday and shook hands with
many old friends. The Minot district
Of which Mr.. Moore is presiding elder,
is growing very rapidly and is building
many new churches, and the rapid reli-
gious development keeps the elder pref
ty busy.
The railroad icehouse over at st. Vim
cent caught on fire one day last week
from and engine spark and the sire
ladies" had chance to try the bran
new engine. No harm done except to
scratch the paint on the engine little
and chief Lapp had to black his boots
afterwards.
Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. Falcon returned
from their farm on Long Lake, Sask, on
Saturday, where Mrs. F. has spent the
summer and the doctor half of his time.
Harvest was all over when they left and
things were looking we'll, but the coun-
try wants rain. Immigration has been
extensive. New railroads are being run
all through that country.
At the quarterly meeting held at the
M. e. church on Wednesday, Presiding
Elder Burns who was present was re-
quested to return Rev. Mr.. Karr to this
charge, which we are sure will also meet
the appreciation of the congregation, as
we'll as other citizens. Mr.. Karr has
proven very popular and able pastor
here
The st. Vincent Era intimates that it
''nose" Of 16 bottles of booze being
brought across the lines over there and
IL bottles over here, and countless sin
gle quarts coming over all the time
without paying the tariff, and calls on
the customs inspectors to do their duty.
The greatest loss of revenue in this
case is not that of the United States,
but some Of Bro. Deacon's neighbors.
The first train over the Emerson
Sprague line was run Saturday last, in
charge of several prominent men of
Emerson and other places. This cutoff
means a shortening of the distance
from Roosevelt and other places in
northern Minnesota and here of nearly
a hundred miles, which ought to make
considerable reduction in the rate Of
wood for this neighborhood.
Threshing has been progressing rapid
! ly all the week, except that the, hot
weather compelled some of the machines
to shut down for brief periods. Many
! of the Nhands were made temporarily ill
by drinking large quantities of bad
water. Notwithstanding the light crop
we think there has been more bushels
of wheat brought into Pembina during
the last two weeks than ever before in
the same time. The yield will not aver
age over twelve bushels however.
How do you like our new dress! This
week the Pioneer Express had house
cleaning and dumped in the .'hell box, .
nearly half ton Of type, some of. it hav-
ing done service for upwards of twenty
five years, and put on a complete new
robe. Much of the old material was in
fairly good shape but some Of it requir-
ed considerable mechanical skill and
good machinery to make it print up as
well as it did. This last renovation
leaves the-Pioneer Express Office with
out any old material and in position to
compete for any kind of commercial
printing with any office in the land.
Bring along your work.
