ALIAS SUMMONS.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE
! Seventh Judicial District of the State of
Montana, in and for the county of Yellow
stone.
Lura l.. Kearns, plaintiff, vs.. John A..
Kearns. defendant.-AL1AS SUMMONS.
The State of Montana sends greeting to
the above named defendant;
You are hereby summoned to answer the
complaint in this action, which is filed in
the Office of the clerk of the district court,
and to file your answer and serve a copy
thereof upon the plaintiffs attorney within
twenty days after the service of this sum-
MONS, exclusive of the day of service; and in
case of your failure to appear or answer
Judgment will be taken against you by de-
fault, for the relief demanded in the COM
plant.
The said action is brought to have the
bonds of matrimony now existing between
the plaintiff and defendant dissolved upon
the grounds of extreme cruelty. That is to
say that during the month of March, 1899.
the defendant kicked plaintiff and thereby
inflicted upon her great bodily injury, and
and that at various other times de-
PENDANT struck and slapped plaintiff, and
that on or about the first day Of July, 1900.
at Columbus, Montana, the defendant used
vile and indecent language to the plaintiff
and threatened to a her life, he having
the ability so to do.
Witness my hand and the seal of said
court this seventeenth day of December, 1900.

Trimming and Gaping a Tree.

One of the most deliberately protected
trees in Philadelphia is a soft maple.
Before the coming of cold weather the
owner decided to trim it's many branch
es in order to produce a bushier growth,
and nearly a dozen large limbs were
severed at varied distances from the
trunk. The tree is not a valuable one,
but to protect the ends Of the trimmed
branches from decay a unique plan has
been adopted, a system Of GROWING be-
ing used very similar to a dentists
method Of browning a tooth. After
smoothing If the ends of the limbs
they were painted and capped with
zinc. The zinc was crimped down as a
protection against moisture. and the
bright metal tipped limbs car be seen
for squares. City Forester Lewis de-
clares that limbs are liable to decay
when left rough. but that smoothing
and painting the stump is q perfect
Record.

THAT BASE BALL LEAGUE.
Rates Offered to Clubs by the Northern
Pacific.

j. N. Mjelde, the successful captain
OF the last seasons ball team, is in
correspondence with N. S. Gillette of
Billings relative to the formation Of
the eastern league, says the Living
ston Post. A letter received from MI.
Gillette the other day says that he be-
lieves the league will be a 60. The
plan he outlines is for each team to
play every other Sunday away from
home. That will give one game every
two weeks, and it's a poor town indeed
which will not turn out a good crowd
every two weeks to see a good game
of ball. Livingston will, and it is
thought that every other town in the
league will do the same. With regard
to rates, Mr.. Mjelde has received a
letter from Charles S. Fee, to the
effect that after January /, the fares
east of Livingston will be reduced t O
three cents per mile, and that under
this rate, ball teams will be given a
rate of n and one-third fares for
round trips. That will be about two
cents a mile, each way. The expenses
of such a league as is proposed ought
not to be too heavy to stand, and it is
beginning to look as if the league would
be formed. No salaried players
will be permitted on any of the teams.

hUMoR OF THE HOUR.

A baldheaded man and two pretty

into the restaurant Of the Manhattan

The elderly gentleman laid aside his
hat, adjusted his spectacles, glanced

at a nearby table, lifted his fist Inn
p~ressively, extended his index finger
by way OF emphasis and imperatively
called out:

The mans French was not too good.
He called 1t "Gaason." The waiter got
through with what he was doing, start

the table.
"Gaason" The waiter stared.
"Gaason! Gaason! Don't you hear

CRY.
"Gas on? OF course it's on. Didn't
ye see me light it?"
Then the two girls. one a blond and
the other a brunette. laughed vocifer-
ously and most u%ntilially. Also a real

guests at three tables and a negro help.

TELEGRAPH OPERATORS GRIEVANCE
Two Of the Committee, Here from
St. Paul.

III |HL LH-a ~. Wv LM'I.r. ~
s. j. Kelley Of st. Paul and S. F.
Stoughtonl of Huntley were in the city
Friday. having just come from st.
Paul, where they have been for two OF
three weeks. They are members Of
the grievance committee of the North.
ern Pacific railroad telegraph operat.
ors, who have been striving to secure
ian advance in wages. :
The gentlemen refused to talk re.
garding the outcome with the railroad
officials, but it is learned from other
sources that the latter have thus far
met the operators more than halfway
in Strengthening out matters affecting
their mutual relations. It is now said
that the business has progressed far
enough to warrant the assertion that
the demands Of the operators will be
granted. The schedule of. compensa-
tion has been gone over carefully, and
where the officials were convinced that
unfair or unsatisfactory conditions ex-
listed at a station, they have smoothed
matters over with an increase in sal
ary, which has been the principal
thing commended for by the operators.
The new schedule prepared by the
operators provides for a 10 per cent
increase in the wages of operators in
large cities, OF a raise of SIS a month.
In the outside towns an increase of
from SIS to $15 a month is asked, ac-
cording to the hardships these operat-
ors endure. Some of the latter act as
ticket agents, baggage masters, station
agents and general utility men.
The night operators in st. Paul and
similar places work eight hours and
thirty minutes with thirty minutes for
luncheon. The new schedule asks that
the working time be reduced to eight
hours straight, including the half hour
for luncheon. The day operators, who
now work nine hours and a half, ask
for a day Of nine hours and forty min
utes within that time for dinner.
They wish to be placed on the same
footing as railroad clerks, who work
nine hours, with a half day off on
Saturdays.

A Revelation In Automobiles.

A new automobile has been invented
by a Russian named Hutal Serky. He
has discovered a new system of loco
motion based IN the use of a certain
kind of salt. the composition Of which
is as yet his secret. Two pounds of this
salt placed in the box of the autOmO-
bile and subjected to a certain heat
forms a gas which puts a cylinder In
movement. The automobiles that were
tried in Moscow produced the best re-
suits. The emperor of Russia. who
takes great interest in this invention.
intends to send Serky to Paris to make
known his secret. The Russian press is
OF opinion that 1t will cause a great

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

For a family orchard many varieties
may be planted and few trees of a va
riety. SO as to have fruit every eas
and the Whole season.
Slight elevations are a safer place for
the grape than bottom lands. as the
vines and fruit are not SO apt to be in
.jured by early or. late frosts. !
The deficiency OF potash in the soil
Of peach orchards is shown in the spin
ding growth of limbs and twigs. Pot
ash makes firm, stocky peach wood.
In almost all orchards. especially IL
old. there. will be found some trees that
are only cumberers Of the ground.
Grub them out and put something Of
value in their places.
1t is the freezing and thawing in the
months after January that hurts the
strawberry beds; hence they should be
we'll mulched as soon as the ground
freezes sufficiently hard.
The cause of moss appearing on the
stems Of apple and other fruit trees is
wet. cold. %undrained land or an excess
lively humid climate. Good drainage
is n remedy.-St. Louis Republic.
