Blunt Times: The papers in this

placed upon those who settle there, but
would prefer to SEQ itopened to home.
stead settlement only. and to require
that Settlers should live upon tie land
they take more than six months before
committing or getting title. Such re-
strictions give better settlement, and
better settlers. While it cuts
off the mere spectators from
getting the land, yet to open it under
the laws now on the books would be bet.
ter than allowing it to remain as it is.
At present it stands as an obstruction to
the spread of civilization, northward
from Buffalo, westward from Jerauld,
and southward from Hand. Hyde, and
Hughes counties. The land all around
it is nearly all taken up
and is being rapidly i'm
proved, and those who have gone over
the land in the reservation prefer it to
any south of the Dakota Central railway.
As 1t has been examined by many there
is no doubt that the moment the reser.
walton is thrown open the greater
part OF the land will be taken up
by real cultivators of the soil, who
have been viewing it with longing eyes
for couple OF years; and that they will
readily accept the same terms as those
proposed for the Sioux reservation, with
which every one now seems satisfied,
even those who opposed the opening
when it was first mentioned. What do
our brethren OF the press say about 1t?

Divorce from Him.

CINCINNATI, June l6-Mary F. Mcdonald,
wife of John Mcdonald, who was so not,ri-
Gus few years ago in connection with
the st. Louis whisky ring, has filed
bill for divorce in the common
pleas court of this county Oh the
ground of extreme cruelty. She states in
her petition that she was married to Melon
aid at Berlin, Wis, Oct. %, 1879, and that
on June 6, while they were stopping at 3O5
H street, Washington, City, he threw her
down on sofa, attempted to strike her, and
used vile epithets toward her. Prior to that,
she alleges, in December, 1888, at Column
bus, Ohio, he locked her in her room, choked
and otherwise abused her. She left him June
6, fearing further violence. She asks for ali
mony, and claims that her husbands inter
est in the book, SECRETS of the Great Whisky
Ring, and Eighteen Months in the Peniten-
tiary," which he wrote while serving out his
sentence in Missouri for completely in the
whisky frauds, is worth $4,000 Mcdonald
was originally married to an estimable
woman, for whom he built a beautiful and
costly residence at Berlin, Wis, in the days
when he was rolling in wealth obtained
through the great whisky conspiracy
of Grants administration. During that
period he became intimate with the
present Mrs. Mcdonald, who became notori
Gus as the "Sylph" of the correspondence Of
the ringsters, which was published when theii
doings were exposed. The first wife obtained
divorce from him at Lacrosse, Wis and h,
then married "Sylph," his mistress, who now
in turn seeks divorce.
