THE family of the late W. H. Moorhead desire us to express their heartfelt thanks for the many kind expressions of sympa­thy and respect and for the many acts of assistance from friends during the illness and funeral of the husband and father.

AT the drawing at Chas. Full's Cheap Cash Store Wednesday the prizes awarded with the package coffee were won as follows: No. 31, mandolin; 42, guitar; 92, zither; which. were held by Geo. Proctor, Thos. W. Brown and G. G. Thompson respectively.

FRANK HORR'S new house has two prominent peculiarities. It is bricked up so that the floor is about four feet from the ground and the trees stand so thick about it that you can hardly see it from

. the road. Looks as though Frank want­ed-to be high-up and exclusive.

THE store of Moses & Wylie at Dray­ton was burglarized on Monday, and large amount of valuable merchandise taken. The robbery is somewhat simil­ar- to that which occured at Bowesmont a short time since and people begin to wonder if we have an organized gang among us.

A BLooD-curdling tale of murder and lynching was spread last week in which it was stated that a boss of one of the railroad grading crews, near Cavalier, had killed a man with a spade, and the next morning the men took him to a tree and hung him with a log chain. The facts of the matter are that a laborer had a difficulty with a boss over a road scrap­er, and the boss thumped the laborer, for which he was fined $10 and costs by the Cavalier justice. , ^ „ »

THE Sunday School picnic from Em­erson to Winnipeg over the C. P. R. was not so largely attended by people from this side as in previous years, doubtless owing to the counter excursions to the Winnipeg Exhibition adver­tised for the 23rd. Among those from here were clerk of court Hart and fiun-ily and Rev. Mr. Moore. Mr. Moore went on to Selkirk to visit friends. Mr. Hart reports a very pleasant time andan attendance of six or seven hundred. H

THE attendance at Orangemen's pic­nic at Carlisle, Jfuly 12th, was very large, much forger; than expected. A good sized delegation attended from Emerson and quite a number from this city. The amusements were of the usual order and everything passed off in good shape and the crowd had a most enjoyable time.

THE Salvation Army folks camped at the grove Jn South Pembina Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The attendance was not large but—it was like the frog story—there was noise enough for a big lot. However if everybody did as little harm and as much good as the Salva­tionists, this world would at least be no wors^.; «iv™,

..

A ptc-Nic by the city "bikers" was en­joyed in the suburbs on Tuesday.' When done eating they loaded up their bicycles and wheeled through town in grand pro­cession. There were twenty-seven kick­ers in all; counting Mr. and Mrs. Price on the tandem as one, with Deputy Collect-er Robt. Morrison and Register of Deeds Chisholm as the "chief high rollers of de push.'*. wmm-

THE township proprietors out at the end of the Langdon extension propose to call the newtown Linden. The "Moon" kicks and says, Hannah it' always has been and Hannah it always ought to be. Surely, Mr. Mooki, if Hannah is as likely a young lady as your columns represent her, she ought to be allowed to change her name. And Hannah isn't a very pretty name whether you read it back­ward or forward.

THE PIONEER EXPRESS closes its eigh­teenth year last week. It is one of the oldest weeklies in the state as well as one of the best. Messrs. Wardwell & Thompson are of the best teams, for the work, in the state, both men thoroughly understanding the work that falls to their share. May the Express continue to prosper and do good work for the com­munity in the future as in the past-Mountaineer. x" t „ - :\£

A PARTY of prominent Drayton peo­ple, on bicycles, en route for Winnipeg exhibition, will arrive in Pembina next Wednesday evening. It is expected that several riders will join them here. Among the Drayton party are G. A. Mc-Crea, H. L. Crandell, M. Wylie, Dan Bu­chanan, Thos. Wilson andT. W. Kibbee. They plan to reach Morris, after taking supper here, and arrive in Winnipeg be­fore noon the next day. Their wives will follow them on the excursion train on Friday.

A WHEAT stealing case at Batlifi ; re­sulted in the discovery of several • ung men of good families 4>eing inv /ed. The grain was stolen from the gi lary of Wm. James last winter and it w dis­covered that some other places hs ajso been visited. One of the peculiar JS of the case is that other and older members of the families seemed to have knivh of the matter and had tried to' Bte it. Mike Rowlett, a shoemaker, was laced in the city lock-up on the chargl but some kind friend furnished himfvith a monkeywrench and he went to Winni­peg in a hurry and his family ha\ (since followed him. We understand t at res­titution has been made for the [ grain stolen by the families of the boyland it is not probable that further proJcution will follow, (but it is a bad state o|affairs for our neighbor town.

THAT rate to the Winnipeg Exhibition on the 23rd as printed in last week's paper and on the hand bills is an error. The fare from Pembina and return on the excursion train is only $1.25. You can stay until the 25th for $2.70, one fare. The excursion train leaves Pembina at 9:00 A. M. and gets to Winnipeg at ll:30i Returning leaves Winnipeg at 10:30 p. M. About everybody in town is about going, and if like enthusiasm is manifested all along the route from Grand Forks it will be the biggest ex­cursion ever run in this locality.

MR. GEORGE Parker Sr., whlie at work mowing near the Fort reservation on Tuesday, stopped the machine near the wagon and stepped of! to get the oil-can. His horses started and in attempting to catch them he was knocked over and the wheel of the machine passed over his chest inflicting severe bruises. Mr, Parker was brought home and for some time it was feared that the injuries were serious, but we are glad to say that he is getting all right again.

J. M. COCHRANE, attorney for the M. & N. Elevator Co. yesterday served a notice of appeal on the county board on the assessment of grain in the elevators. This is an old question and has been in process of litigation for several years without a decision. The elevators Haim

that the wheat is only stored with them and belongs to other parties, as it doubt­less does. The elevator companies fur­nish names and amounts represented by wheat tickets. In most cases the origin­al parties are non-residents and unknown; and further, as the tickets are transfer­able there is no telling who does own the wheat anyway, but the wheat is there and ought to pay taxes. The county board will continue to assess the wheat to the elevator company until they know some­thing better.

COMRADE J. G. Sonderman returned on Monday from his trip with the veter­ans of the First Minnesota to the battle­field of Gettysburg where a monument erected by the state to the memory of those who fell in the famous charge, was unveiled. Comrade Sonderman reports a very pleasant and" interesting trip. While opportunities of visiting Washing­ton and its buildings were afforded and proved of much interest, yet the reminis­cences brought back by a view of the battle field itself after so many years ab­sence were the features of the trip. Ex­cept for the growth of trees and such natural changes, there Is but little differ­ence now and then in the appearance of things, and many of the old .vets found no difficulty in locating the very hollow in die ground, or boulder behind which they lay on that terrible day, and sought shelter from the leaden hail that was fly. lag over them.

THE graders from the Walhallapranch have this week been moving theifohtfits to Cavalier couhty for the Langan ex­tension. The track layers begaaopera­tion at Cavalier on Monday. Thlbridge at Cavalier is finished but the \ [alhalla bridge will not be built until the laterial can be sent over the new tract Wal-halla continues to boom and peo le from all parts are going and comin ; all the time, looking for chances. Cha ley Lee runs the Mountaineer twice a w« ;k these times, and Charley is an ideal < litor for boom days. While Walhalla is all right and is going to make a good to vn, yet the new extension is going to b: a great boon to the farmers of the nort western part of the county as a matter of con­venience, and when it is completed very few, if any, farmers of this co mty will have over seven miles to haul thfir wheat to an elevator. Besides, there lot of land between Walhalla arii Her that is now covered with ^:rUb and timber, that will now become or cultivation.

During the storm last Friday, Norman Matheson had a horse killed, one or two animals met the same fate in Burke's pasture, according to report, and the residence of W. J. Westall was struck. The members of the family and H. S. Hanson were in at the time, and all claim that they saw a ball of fire roll out of the stove onto the floor and apparent­ly explode and all of them became insen­sible from that moment A box con­taining a number of small chickens which had been standing outside, brought in for shelter, and placed near the stove, were all thrown out of the box and kill­ed except one. No one in the house knew how long they remained uncon-sious, no damage was done to the build­ing, and thoise who received the shock felt the effects of it for several days after. Mr. Westall was in the barn at the time.

Married. r At Hamilton, N. D.

J. W. Cole, of Baltimore to Miss Alice Connell of Hamilton. At Hamilton occurred a very pretty

wedding, the principals in which are both well known in Grand Forks. Miss Alice Connell, daughter of Thomas Connell, and Mr. J. Cole, of Baltimore, were quiet­ly wedded at the home of bride's father, the ceremony being witnessed by a few intimate friends only. The happy couple arrived in Grand Forks last evening on their way east

The bride was for a number of years a resident of East Grand Folks and was a member of the choir of the Methodist church in this city. The groom was lor some time ticket agent at the Great Northern passenger depot and made a host of friends in Grand Forks by his courteous and accommodating ways. He is now travelling passenger agent of the Chicago & Great Western railway, with headquarters in Pittsburg. The happy couple will spend a month on the seashore, at Long Branch and ofh«> re­sorts, before settling down in Baltimore, where they win reside.-Grand Forks Herald.
