New Dry Goods
------------
Spring StOCkNOV
Opened.

LADIES'
We take pleasure in stating to
youthat our spring of 1891 stock of
Dry Goods isnow upon our shelves
and counters.
1t will be greater pleasure to
have you call aud examine them.
A great deal was said last fall
about VIM. Mckinley and his fam
Gus bill. One would have sup
posed that said bill was long
enough to sap the very life out Of
the people, especially the pur-
chasing consumer. Ifyou will call
at our store we will endeavor to
disabuse your mind on this ques-
tisn.
We can sell better values in Dry
Goods this season for less money
than they cost us last year. We
are not going into a tariff or free
trade argument. The goods may
have been smuggled. If they
were we don't know it; they came
to us in the regular way.
We think we have the finest dis
play Of Dry Goods ever brought
to this Nation and we ask an in
spection.
Respectfully Yours,
SKINNER, RATcLIFF d Co.

meteorological observations

The signal service bureau of the war
department has regular stations well
distributed over the country as a
whole and serve sufficiently, among
other purposes, for the study and pre-
diction of the development and move
ment Of storms. Yet for The prcpara
ton of oftemperatarc and precipitation
charts, aud ether data used in the
study of climatic conditions, observa-
tions being desirable from this local
lty, the war department has establishy
ea a station in this city. Judge w.
H. ribbis has been appointed as OBJ
server here and has now received the
necessary supplies and blanks, and
will collect aud transmit to the war de-
partment the meteorological observa-
tons, such as rainfall and daily tenn
peralure, the course and velocity of The
wind, etc. Added to This will be the
display of weather signals 10y flags,
predicting the approach Of storms
from six to twelve hours IN advance Of
the same at this point. These reports
will be furnished and published in
THE CHIEFrAIN at the end of each
month with such interesting comment
as may seem necessary for explanation.
that our readers may become more IA
miliar with this very important and
interesting branch Of the public ser
vice, which has hitherto been almost
unknown except In large cities. In
deed, the location Of these stations in
small agricultural tovns is only the
work Of the last few years and Ninita
gets the FIRST IA the territory by reason
Of having a resident who understands
and is interested in the collection of
this data, more for personal satisfac-
ton than any other cause.

Trouble at Ohelsea,

Monday morning at five o'clock, at
Chelsea, VIM. Martin shot Horace
rnnon Doth eolored) from the effect
of which he died three hours later.
The ball entered The base Of the neck
and ranged down through the lungs
and stomach The difficulty arose
over some rosls and the house that
Martin lived in, he being tenant of
Tinnon. Self defence is set up by
Martin, who is under arrest and in
the hands Of the U. s. authorities
He claims Tinnon sought to strike
him with an aSe.
In the afternoon Of the same day
the shertfs force prepared to re-eut
Scruggs' fence and the latter, with
his friends. armed themselves to pre-
vent 1t. The interposition Of Deputy
Connolly prevented what bid fair to be
serious difficulty, he ordereri ng
the Seruggs party to disband. The
fence was then demolished, we believe
for the third or fourth time.

The Montana Legislature is Giving
q Repetition of the Last
Session.
a Victory for the Fusionists,

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. 6.-The legislature
organized to-day. The senate elected
republican subordinate officers by one ma
jority. The house elected Steward, of
Coddington county, independent, speaker
by one majority. Democrats and indie
pendents are joined in both houses, with
the exception OF one hdependensssand one
democrat, who voted with the republicans
in the house on choice of speaker. Oppo-
5itiOn victory in the house does not dis
courage republicans OIL the senatorial con-
test, but somewhat complicates matters.
There are understood to be sixteen con-
tests in the house, which may result in in
creasing the fusion majority twelve or fif-
teen. 1t is believed by republicans that
this will draw independents and demo-
Gratis enough to elect q senator though
MoOdy's chances are endangered, though
as yet no other republican candidate is in
the field. On the part of the fuSiousts
there are number of independents who
viii! never vote for Tripp, or any other
democrat, and some democrats who will
not vote for al independent This situa-
ton makes the republicans hopeful, and
Moohy's friends think he will be strong
enough to win.
