wrongs to the Judge in broken voice,
stopping occasionally to wipe away the
tears she could not restrain when she
thought of all she had endured"
Perhaps you don't want any mention
of your case III the papers, though.
Well, you can avoid it. 1t is done every
year. Have your attorneys file merely
note of issue and fix 1t up with the
clerk of courts TO keep the final papers
away from the reportetS. Fix it with
thejudge to have the case heard in cham
Der on the quiet. The only trouble with
his plan is that if there is anything
sensational in your petition, or if you
are prominent in society, the reporters
will one day hear of your case, dig it
out and make more of a spread on it
than they would in the first case, all
because so much secrecy was employed.
That has been done right here in Min
neapolis. Less than year ago one
judge was so kind as to leave the court
house and 20 to the private office of a
lawyer to hear a certain divorce case.
But, bless you, it all got into the papers.
In that case, the judge interested was
given so much attention that it is dia-
monds to darning needles that he will
never do it again.
But. as stated at the beginning of this
article, the conditions are so changing,
seemingly, that all these rules are likely
to become obsolete. The solution of the
servant girl problem would so increase
the development of the Domestic
Felicity bacteria as to make the divorce
court sort of an aristocratic institu-
tiOn.

THE SHORTER DAY.
British Industrialists OyerwheIm.
ingly in Favor of the Eight
Hour AfOve.
CurtaiIment of Production asked
Rather Than Reduction
in Wages.

LONDON, Aug. 20.-Several hundred
shipwrights were discharged from the
Clyde shipyards last evening and today.
The reason is that there is no work for
them to do. Trade in shipbuildlng
seems to be going from bad to worse.
Lancashire weavers are agitating for
legal eight-hour day in order to reduce
production and prevent the shut-downs
caused by the accumulation of stocks,
and it is said that some OF the masters
are beginning to favor the eight-hour
proposition. The Cotton Factory
Times, leading trade organ,
has urged that the way to
prevent Overproduction is not to reduce
wages, but to cut down supplies. A
vote was taken on the subject of eight
hours by the Preston weavers last
night, and the result showed that 1862
of the weavers were in favor of estab-
fishing an eight-hour day, while 659
voted against the proposition. At
Blackburn the seat Of extensive cotton
and wOOlen industries. a similar vote
was taken among the spinners. The
baIlotlng showed that of the /, ,1O2 votes
cast 902 were in favor of the elght-hour
day. The masters in the iron and steel
trade are considering a reduction OF
their employees wages.

ETY.. This last has become almost neces-
sary to the prosperity of South Dako-
ta's divorce industry. The past few
months experience TEACHES those who
profit by the industry that something
must be done to protect it from sensa-
tional publicity. The Mrs. Blaine case,
the Nine. de Stuers case. and now the
more recent Pollock case have
all threatened injury to the
divorce crop by reason of their
sensational developments. The law
yers Of South Dakota watch for
newspaper developments in their cases
with almost as much anxiety as the
South Dakota farmer watches for signs
of rust in his wheat fields. Either is
Injurious, il not fatal, to the crop.
Newspaper notoriety nearly wrecked
the Blaine case, and the same influence
nearly, if it has not already done so,
stranded the De Stuers craft. The
Pollock case, too, is sure to 20 to the
supreme court on appeal, when if it
had not been for the newspapers the
matter wouli have slipped through just
as the Pollock lawyers wanted it. 10
prevent recurrence of disasters such
as these, the leading divorce lawyers of
the state now take most of their sensa-
tiOnai cases to obscure localities, where
the more enterprising newspaper man
is not to be found, or into jungles
which he is not likely to penetrate.

DIVORCE SOUGHT BY AN IN
DIAN.

Interesting Result of the Progress
of Civilization Among the Red
Men.
IRON White Earth (Aiinn.) Special.
The clerk of the courts for Becke r
county had this morning most singu-
lar application in his long experience.
A tall, well-formed and intelligent-look-
ing Indian entered his Office. He had
come, he said. at the advice of the
marshal of st. Paul, and his mission
was to secure a divorce for his sister.
He thereupon told the following story,
which for romance is unsurpasSed: On
the shores of Elk lake, in the eastern
corner of Of the White Earth reserva-
ton, is the most intelligent of the Chip
pewa-Sioux band OF Indians. The col
Ony is without chief and is governed
in its own peculiar but successful style
by self-appointed council of three,
being near enough to the settlements to
have gained some correct ideas.

cagO to sample the South Dakota
divorces is inexpllcable, but it is fact
that such cargo of Goals has come to
Newcastle. The bar of Sioux Falls is
unanimous in the belief that the spring
divorce product will fully equal, if not
surpass. that Of any previous season.
There has been large acreage OF COM
plants sown, some fifty or more people
being now in Sioux Falls living out their
allotted space of ninety days, or,
as they facetiously call it, "doing
time" The crop prospect at
Yankton is also promising, there
planted and almost ready to blossom.
The divorce industry at Yankton has
received fresh encouragement and inn
petus lately by the erection of new
hotel, the Pierce House, which was de-
signed and constructed largely with
view to the needs and requirements of
the increasing business of the town in
that line. The landlord is wide
awake man, with keen eye
to e business. When the new
hotel was opened few weeks
ago he gave dedicatOry supper and
ball. to which ali the divorce colony of
Yankton were invited. The proprietor
opened the dance with the dashing Mrs.
OChOiis VI ANOW L Va hs 40 hio p<i ohSAs
Mrs. Schell is the leading attraction just
now among Yankton's temporary pOpu
lation, and as she has nearly ''served
her time" she is looked upon with more
or less envy by her sister colOnists.
But the landlords enterprise did not
stop here. He prepared beautifully
printed circular, in which he extolled
the attractions of Yankton as place of
residence. and set forth the advantages
of the Pierce house in particular as an
abode for Temporary residents of re-
finement and means" These circulars
have been sent by the hundreds to So
ciety in New York, Boston and Phila-
delphia, and replies have been received
in numbers, quite encouraging to the
divorce trade of YanktOn.
Sioux Falls is not little jealous of
the hustling propensities of YanktOn
in this branch of South Dakota industry.
Landlord Corson, of the Cataract house,
which has long been the headquarters
of foreign aspirants for freedom. has
furnished up his hostelry, improved his
table, and is now Offering special rates
to those ''doing time" To those able
and willing to pay he gives private
table and exclusive service. He like
lswise guarantees parties against the

in many other ways contributes to

several new manufacturing establish

Mining, too. is going forward, and
in stock-raising South Dakota's pros

now. The divorce industry like

Two New York divorces were granted

tween two stalwart and persistent suit
ors. Little Moose and Man-a-bou-sha.
The former is son of subchief of a
collateral tribe, and the latter, as
his name signifies. belongs to
no special band, but was gath
cred up loose" The brother
of the girl favored the pretensions of
Little Moose. who, besides being one of
the redskin 400, was powerful fellow.
and possessed of considerable of that
personal property dear to the Indian
heart. The fancy of the girl herself
lightly turned to the other suitor, but
wishes of the council. The head of
this body is the famous Indian orator,
White Cloud, and to him was left the
settlement Of the suit. In connection
with the brother. who is known as Man.
Without-Pants, White Cloud decided to
give the maid to the suitor who could
produce the most worldly goods. This
practically barred out Man-a-bOu-sha
and gave Little Moose walk-over, the
marriage being duly celebrated at the
Indian agency.

dusky Fawn, and went systematically
to work to accomplish his object. Dur
ing the time the reservation Indians
had made a little-and outside specu-
laters a great deal-of money in the
sale and purchase of reservation
timber. Moose held no little amount
of timber land, and his rival
set to work to quietly secure it. He de-
coyed Little Moose off the reservation
and, after filling him up.with fire-water,
drove a bargain by which most of the
lands were transferred to himself. The
drinking trips were kept up until not
only was Little Moose fieeced out of his
timber, but he became confirmed
topper. Man-a-bou-sha played his hand

giving the Moose public thrashing and

Things went on swimmingly for the

PEARS seldom ripen tho roughly on

them on a shelf in a dark location,
and they will be greatly improved in

The principal food of owls is mice, and
they diligently hunt for them in the
most favorable localities for procuring
them.
1T is not necessary to use wet land in
order to have a pasture. 1t is true that
some grasses will thrive on a damp

CHANGING the cows from one pasture

What Science Has Done.

People often ask what is the use Of
the abstract studies scientific men and
women often indulge in? The reply
is YOU must first discover new truth
before you can tell whether YOU can
make any value of it. The valuable
discovery that the black rot can be pre-
vented from injuring grapes by inclos.
ing the bunch in paper bag is the di-
rect result of scientific studies When
it was found that the rot was caused by
a fungus growing from little seed or
pore, which floating through the at
mosphere attaches itself to the grape
berry. it was the easiest thing to think
of putting bags over the bunch early in
the season, so that the spore couldn't
get there. Hundreds of thousands Of
dollars nave been saved to the culti-
vator by this bagginG of grapes, which
would have been totally lost but for
the labors of scientific meu-Colmsu's

HEIGHT OF HIVES.
The Beekeeper should he Able to woxk
Over Them without Shopping.

The Beekeeper should he Able to woxk
Over Them without Shopping.
In many apiaries, the hives stand
near the ground upon piece of joist
three or four inches wide, or upon
bricks, one under each corner; in
others, the hives stand a foot high,
and, again, hives may be seen two or
three feet high perched on posts. As
far as the bees are concerned, it does
not matter whether hives be high or
low, although, judging by the habits of
the bees, the higher the hive is, the
better they would like it. But the bee
keeper is the one to be accommodated
by the position of the hive; he will
place it at the height where it will be
most convenient for him.
1t is extraordinary that the hives in
the majority of apiaries are not placed
to give the beekeeper the best advan-
tage, owing perhaps to the idea, held by
some beekeepers, that it is goodies
ground, 1t is laborious enough to
work over hive. often in the sun,
often with an ugly colony, even if
there be no occasion to stoop; but to go
from hive to hive in an aplary, say of
fifty colonies, ana be obliged to stoop
at right angle, almost over every one,
is the most "backaching" work any
one ever undertook; indeed, the stoop-
ing, the continual strain, is not only
wearisome, terribly wearing, but pos
sibly dangerous in its results.
If hive be placed in a chair, it will
be found that work over and in it is
easy, that there is little need of stoop-
ing. There is no reason why every
hive should not be placed so that the
beekeeper may work over it without
STOPPING. Every hive should have an
independent support or standard un-
less it is absolutely 6rm. A beekeeper
placed ten colonies of bees on two long
pieces of timber set on their edges. He
was obliged to change them, because if
in working over colonies he let any
thing fall upon the pieces of timber,
the jar was communicated to every
hive and colony standing on them.
The best arrangement for bees is a
platform upon posts sunk in the ground
at frequent intervals. While a great
shock at one end might be felt at the
other, yet ordinary mishaps while
working over a colony would not dis
turb the other colonies.
If the platform have roof, it makes
it all the better for the bees and the
beekeeper during the warm weather.
The roof should be portable and not
be put on before June, because bees
want all the sun they can get up to
that time. After the first or middle of
June, according to the season, bees
ought to be in the shade.-Julia Allyn,
in Ohio Farmer.

Danger of smut in wheat.

Millers are expressing good deal of
anxiety concerning the wheat crop of
1898. Much of the wheat that has re-
Gently come in is smutty, and it
is feared unless proper precautions
are taken that the crop of next year
will be most seriously damaged. Smut
in wheat is caused by parasite, and
when this parasite has appeared one
year, it is likely to be far more prev
alent during the following year.
Millers arc sending out to their Gus
toners warning against the impending
danger. 1t is recommended that, be-
fore seeding, wheat lands be literally
treated with bluestone. In case this is
done it is believed that there will be
little smut next year. But if this pre-
caution is neglected millers say that
the loss will be very heavy.
