After spending all day on the Desci
divorce case Judge McC onnell decided
late Saturday afternoon that the plain
tiff was not entitled to a decree. Some
rather racy testimony was introduced,
and it appears the chief cause of the
marital woes was the insane jealousy of
the defendant, but the plaintiff had left
her penniless IN New York, and this fact
seemed to overweight the testimony in
his favor. Mrs. Desci's attorneys are
now trying to arrange so she can get a
decree and permanent alimony.

from Fort Lincoln. During winter large
quantities Of grain we're stolen from tn
quartermaster's department, to such an
extent that two companies of cavalry
would have to send to Rice for grain.
On Friday, the United States deputy
marshal seizes upon a large amount of
grain in Bismarck, which he designated
as part of the stolen property, and it was
replevined by citizens. The marshal
sent to Gen. Custer for assistance, and
troops we're sent, who took the grain in
charge. Afterwards, Sheriff Mckenzie,
City Justice Davis and Attorney Stoyell
were arrested for resisting the marshal
iR the performance of his duties. They
gave bonds and were released. Several
persons were arrested for stealing the
grain and the excitement was intense.

It may lead to serious conse-

the greatest blessing that could
befall our people. Let every man
touch elbows with his neighbor in
the effort and we will have it.
The first Monday in April is the
day set for general mass meeting
of the county to discuss this mat
ter. It's designed that men of all
parties and all conditions OF life
shall participate. Let those who
are not able to buy shares show
their interest in the countys wei
fare by their presence. Merely
their being in the Court House
will give backbone to the move
ment. Let men who have $40 and
over to invest be present and hear
the subject discussed. Money in
the factory will doubtless pay bet
ter than Accent cotton. Let the
Court House be packed and jam
med with citizens. The opportu-
nifty to take great step forward is
in our grasp. Let US not be lag
CARDS while other towns get the
prize. We people have preached
factory and prayed factory all our
lives. Let us now rise and get it.
A little extra exertion and the
thing is done. Let every man in
terested seek out the committee
men and put down his name tor
the number of shares he is DESTROYS
of taking. If you can't find a
committee man, write to THE STAR
or see the editor and tell him what
you and your neighbors can do. 1t
is only required that enough should
come forward and the thing is
done.
Let's clinch the matter.

AN IMPROVEMENT NOTICEABLE

Some time ago The STAR men,
toned the noticeable improvement
of trade in the business centres
and we stated then that it was on
ly question of time when the i'm
provemcnt would reach out into
the country. We believe this
statement is now about to be veri.
fed. A rise in values is one Of
the best evidences of returning
prosperity and this sign we now
have.n The markets report an ad-
vance in cotton, corn, wheat, oats,
pork, lard, leather, hides, hogs,
sugar. petroleum, potatoes and
other products. The rise in cotton
is attributed mainly to "bctter
times" in England, creating a
large demand for our staple.
1t is noticeable that panics and
hard times are first felt in trade
centers, from there extending into
the country. Similarly the first
signs OF returning prosperity are
noticed in these centers. The bus
mess centcrs already speak of the
panic as a thing of the past and
are most hopeful of the future.
This feeling is now spreading over
the country.
St. Louis reports more country
merchants in the city buving
spring stocks than in any previous
March of her history And they
are buying heavily.
Let us then throw away the
blues and look to the future with
cheerfulness. Our farmers are
comparatively in good condition
for the year; and this largely helps
to put our merchants in good con-
dition.

THE YOUNG MEN WITH US.

THE STAR is gratifed to know
that so many Of the young men
who are now registering will vote
the Democratic ticket. Young men
play an important part IN every
contest and they are not often
wrong in their votes. 1t is natural
that they should 80 with the Dem
ocratic party. There is nothing in
the Populite creed to arouse ambi-
ton and nothing in the leaders to
excite emulation. Instead of stir
ring young man with buoyant
feelings OF hope, they fill him with
despair. The young like to look
on the bright side Of life; the Pop
ulitcs force them to look on the
blacklist. Everywhere and in every
thing is the same tale of woe and
calamity song. Democracy is diff
tcrcnt. 1t holds future before a
young man. 1t teaches that moth
ing is so bad but that it can be
rlshtcd by honest effort. Itteachcs
the youth correct principles of gov.
eminent and gives him the stamina
to contend for them. The Dem
ocratic party, mo re than any other,
is the young mans party and he
perceives it.

Capt. Chiles, of Starkville, pro-
poses to take ship load of Missis-
sippi horses to Liverpool for the
European markets, hoping that if
he is successful new field of en-
terprisc will be opened up for this
State. This is very admirable in
the captain; but we would greatly
prefer to see him teach our people
to raise the horses and mules they
use instead of importing carload
after carload from the North.
