Subscribers should note the date of ex-
piration of premium papers and if they

person taking it is a subscriber and
therefore liable for the subscription. Any
person who pays up arrears and orders a
paper stopped and thereafter refuses the
responsibility for further payment. In
any case of irregularity. change of adj

Sanford Dodge and company played
"The Three Musketeers' at the city
hall on Monday evening to rather
small house. The fact that many other
entertainments were on the program for
the week and the further fact that the
grippe is almost epidemic in town, &C
count for the small attendance, though
there was under the circumstances a
fair sized house. Mr.. Dodge has always
been favorite of Pembina audiences of
former years and certainly did not lose
his reputation as an excellent actor as
we'll as pleasant gentleman to meet in
the present visit. He is very ably sup
ported by Miss Louise Marshall and a
good company.

The weather Of the week has been
as varied as possible. After regular
thaw Sunday and Monday, Tuesday
brought rain, which continued at inter.
walls with mist and some fog and chang.
ing to snow on Wednesday. It did not
rain very hard at any time, but we got
several inches Of snow. Thursday
morning it was bright and clear and not
cold. Wednesday afternoon and night,
however, there were symptoms OF q bliz.
card. Guess the whole furry was the
result of breaking the backbone Of
winter.

The Winnipeg police raided Jewish
synagogue on Sunday while wedding
ceremony was being performed and sum-
moned the principals to appear before
the police magistrate to answer to the
charge Of breaking the Sabbath Observ-
ance Law by solemnizing marriage on
Sunday. At this distance such an ac-
ton seems a sacrilege an unjustifiable
interference with conscience and may
be classed with the Krugerism that TO-

of South Africa, or with the intolerance

Owing to the recent postal regulations
which will compel the placing ola stamp
on all weekly papers sent to subscribers
who are over year in arrears for sub
scription, we have during the past week
sent out notices to all such, and the re-
turns thus far have been very crafty
ing to the publishers. Personally we
have always tried to be lenient to the
delinquents because we had faith they
would pay sometime when convenient,
but under the law this leniency is not
permissible and therefore have asked
| for settlement.

GOULDS ARE AGREED
Will Ask the Law to Cut in
Twain Bonds Binding
Them Together.
SEPARATED SOME TIME.

New York, June 1O.-Mrs. Frank J.
Gould arrived at the st. Regis Hotel
three days ago, and, after a long CON
ference with her attorneys and various
friends, it was decided that the final
action for a separation between Gould
and herself could be announced.
Mr.. Gould, we understand, is not
anxious to talk nor is Mrs. Gould anx-
iOus to discuss her affairs in the pub
lie prints" came the word from 4
friend Of Mrs. Gould at the St Regis
last night. If it is any satisfaction
to the public, it can be published with
out fear of contradiction that Mr.. and
Mrs. Gould have agreed on a legal sep
aratiOn. We beg that no scandal be
made of this affair. None exists be-
yOnd the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Gould
are not living together and will not.
The suit for separation will be pressed
by Mrs. Gould, and that is all that can
be said on the subject
Where Mrs. Gould will go to receive
her decree Of divorce is a. question
that is causing much speculation in
society circles. Under the laws of
New York she can secure an absolute
divorce only on one ground. She re-
fuses to make an application on stat
utory grounds, and probably will have
to bring the suit in one of the Western
States.

CORTELYOU LOOKED
UPON FAVORABLY
Taft and Roosevelt Forces
Want Him for Vice
President.
HUGHES STANDS IN WAY.
NOT UNTIL 1T is SETTLED THAT
THE NEW YORK GOVERNOR is
OUT OF THE RACE WILL COR.
TELYoU BE PUT FORWARD.

Washington, June 10-Indications
are multiplying that Secretary Cortel-
YOU will be advanced by the Roosevelt
and Taft forces at Chicago as their
candidate for vice president Secre-
tary Cortelyou himself naturally de-
clined to discuss the matter of his
candidacy for the very sufficient rea-
son that his native state already has
In the field a possible candidate for
the presidency in the person of GOV.
Hughes.
That fact has so far operated to pre-
vent any open exchanges between the
friends of Secretary COrtelyou and
Secretary Tafts managers. But it can
now be stated as a fact that in the
opinion of his friends the time has
come when Secretary Cortelyou
should be placed in position to be
recognized as New York's candidate
for the vice presidency in the event of
the elimination of Hughes from the
presidential race.
AS a necessary step to successful
campaign in that direction there had
first to be ascertained the attitude
that President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Taft would assume towards Sec
rotary Cortelyous candidacy. The
Secretary himself has declined to
make any move in the matter. but his
friends have not felt restrained by
that fact, and already they feel that
they have received such encourage
ment that they are now preparing to
move in force upon the convention
delegates at Chicago.
One reason for their confidence is
asserted to be their belief that by the
strenuous opposition to the rccogni-
ton of Southern Taft delegates in the
battle before the national committee
now in progress, the coupling of the
names of Taft and Fairbanks on one
ticket has become impossible
Today Secretary Cortelyou's adj
vance guard started for Chicago, led
by Assistant Secretary Louis Coolidge,
a Bostonian of long experience in pub
lie affairs and Of wide acquaintance
with the various boom managers now
in Chicago, Cornelius n. Bliss, one
time member of McKinley's cabinet
and treasurer Of the last republican
campaign committee, is also said to be
bound for Chicago in Secretary Cor
telyou's interest, while among other
political leaders expected to espouse
his cause is said to be Senator Muir
ray Crane of Massachusetts. whose
support Is most anXiOusly desired by
the administration forces.

FEAR FOR ELECTION
Thought That There Will Be
BIoodshed in Panama,
July 18th.
MINISTER SQUIRES RETURNS

Washington, June 10-After an eX-
tended conference between Secretary
Root and Minister Squires, it was an
nOunced that Mr.. Squires would re-
turn to his post at Panama.
1t is understood that Mr.. Squires
furnished much information in detail
regarding the political situation on the
isthmus.
Mr.. Squires was given advice as to
the necessity of the American Lega-
ton preserving absolute neutrality as
between the respective candidates for
the Presidency Of the republic.
The Panama elections, which take
place on July II, are giving the Ameri-
can administration much concern be-
cause of the expressed declaration Of
both political factions to resort to
force in the event of failure at the
polls.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
the commercial supply Of fire arms
and weapons OF all descriptions has
been brought up.
Practically every voter in that
country is armed for this special oc-
CaSiOn.

ATE HIS FILL.
The Sharp Traveller Had His Moneys
Worth and Caught the Coach.

The Sharp Traveller Had His Moneys
Worth and Caught the Coach.
There was a coach that used to run
between Nola Chucky and Paint Rock,
a matter of some forty miles. For
lunch the coach stopped at a halfway
house in Tin Can, and here good fifty
cent meal was put out-cake and pie,
coffee and tea and all the cold meats
you could mention.
But the landlord of the halfway
house had mean little secret dicker
with the driver, whereby as soon as
the travellers had paid for their lunch
and got fairly settled to it call would
come for an immediate start. SO off
they'd all go, grumbling. They'd have
paid for so cents worth Of food and
only eaten, you see, about cents
worth.
But along came one day a traveller
with a sharp. bright eye. The landlord
found this chap some ten minutes aft
er the coach had started on again still
tucking in pie and ham at a terrible
rate.
why, man." he said, you've let the
coach go without you"
II know it." said the traveller calmly.
81 was too blessed hungry to stop eat
ing"
Suddenly the landlords face paled.
Good gracious" he said, ''all my
silver's gomez
1t was too. Not a knife, fork or
spoon was left except the sharp eyed
mans.
He said as he kept on eating that he
had noticed a suspicious looking char
acter among the passengers. a man
with red beard a hump and limp
oh. very suspicious!
The landlord sent a hostler off to
overtake the coach and bring it back.
In about forty minutes the coach re-
turned. Then the sharp eyed man
came forth. wiping his mouth. But he
made no effort to identify the sus-
picious looking passenger. Instead he
got aboard the coach, took his seat and
said coolly.
Thanks landlord. for the good food
