The Black Hills union. [volume] (Rapid City, Pennington County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1889-1904, 1898-03-04

A New York judge has granted wife
a separation from her husband for six
months, with alimony at the rate of
$40 a week. The plaintiff was a wife
80 years old, the defendant a husband
of 70. Doubtless the young woman feels
herself happy in being rid of the old
gentleman for six months, receiving in
the meantime $40 week. At the end
Of the first term Of separation she can
apply for an extension and the old hus-
band Is not likely to survive many de-
crees OF court. Anything is possible
under our divorce laws, and the prece-
dent set by Judge Gaynor Of New York
may be extensively followed and separ-
alton take the place in court records
extensively occupied at present by the
disagreeable word divorce.

Captain Dreyfus in his disgraceful
exile is factor in French politics far
greater than he might have been if he
had kept his freedom. 1t is certain that
his guilt was not conclusivey proven,
and he ought to have had the benefit
of the doubt in view Of the magnitude
of his punishment. Governments can
not afford to be unjust, and the suffer-
ing of one innocent man because of
hatred of his race may bring about
suffering to the nation which is respon-
sible for his undoing.

Perhaps the sudden palng of her

culver of pain in her voice touched
him.

A low cry came from her lips, and
she covered her face with her hands.

Secretary Of the Navy Long sent a
recommendation to congress for an APP
preparation of $4,000 for improve
ments in the battery of the cruiser
Chicago, and accompanying it is a
strong report of Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt, in which he points out
some weaknesses of the navy. Mr..
Roosevelt says: II earnestly wish we
could as soon as possible withdraw
from active service the cruisers fitted
with slow firing guns and substitute
ships with rapid fire batteries. At
present the real fighting efficiency of
ships like the Raleigh, Cincinnati,
Marblehead, Montgomery. and Olym-
pia compared with foreign vessels of
the same nominal class stands high,
while the reverse is the case of ships
like the Baltimore, San Francisco and
Yorktown"

The Chicago wheat deal is attract
ing much attention. Joseph Letter
continues to hold his immense pur-
chases of high grade winter wheat. an
amount now estimated at $4,000, 900
bushels. In the meantime prices are
advancing in all parts of the world,
and it is difficult to predict the figure
which will be reached by May wheat.
The Letter clique claims that the far
mers have long since parted with their
wheat, and points to the fact that
dollar wheat" fails to materially in
crease the receipts at the principal
points. An interesting feature Of the
situation is the development that hun
dreds Of millers and wholesale flour
dealers have been mixing corn meal
with flour and selling this blended mix
ture as high grade wheat. This is said
to account for BLACK bread" and the
further fact that flour has not ad-
vanced in price in proportion to wheat.
This matter has been introduced into
congress and some legislation NAV fol-
low. The reports Of Russian short
age which We're at first vigorously
denied. are found to be true, and the
government will probably repeal the
duty on wheat so as to permit imports.
The stocks now in Russian ports
amount to II. 100000 bushels, as against
an average. OF 19.9o4,0OO bushels for
same dates in the last ten years The
London Times prints telegram from
st. Petersburg saying that the failure
of the crops threatens worse dearth
than that Of 1891 Russian editors are
forbidden to refer Is the matter Of the
coming reduction IN import duties.

She drew her hands from her face

The poultry show has been In opera.
tion since Tuesday. 1t opened up In
the big room at No. 12South Main, for
merly occupied by Fred Altswager's
book store.
Tuesday was set as the last day for
receiving entries but the management
said it would have to be extended
somewhat. They experience consid-
cradle trouble In getting their cxhib-
its in early enough.
On that day they were showing a
nice variety Of birds, and those inter
ested IN the fine poultry business were
congratulating themselves on the great
improvement In the stock since the
first shows were held. This is no
doubt largely result of the shows
which have not only stimulated an in
Uerest in the better grades and breeds
of chickens, but has aroused the pride
of the breeders 1t is also said that
the dealers in poultry notice an i'm
provement in the fowls offered on the
market. OF course, this will result in
more profit to the poultry producers.
1t will pay just as we'll to raise good
chickens as 1t will to raise good horses
hogs or cattle.
