Seventh Judicial District of the State of

Kearns. defendant.-AL1AS SUMMONS.
The State of Montana sends greeting to
the above named defendant:

complaint in this action, which is fled in

MONS, exclusive of the day of service; and in
case OF your failure to appear or answer,

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
lnflicted upon her great bodily injury. and
and that at various other times de-
PENDANT struck and slapped plaintiff, and
that on OF about the first day,o T July, 1900,
at Columbus, Montana, the defendant used
vile n indecent language to the plaintiff
and threatened to take her life, he having
the ability so to do.
Witness my hand and the seal OF said
court this seventeenth day of December, 1900.

PAPAL RIGHTS.
Leo Declares Them to Be Wrongfully
! Abridged.

AUl4uScU. ..
Rome, Dec. 1.-THE pope in today's
%allocution, thanked God, who had en-
abled him to accomplish a holy year.
Many painful matters, however,
afflicted him, he went on to say, es-
pecially the conflict between Italy
and the church, resulting in a viola
ton Of papal rights. "Still graver
things, perhaps, are to be apprehend-
ed, continued his holiness. "It is
truly a calamity that the pontiff is
despoiled forcibly of his just and
legitimate sovereignty, which is cor
rectly bound with the liberty of his
ministry. The pontiff is now held
under the power of other men and
Subject to the will Of other men.
Difficulties arise when we see the
domination Of Rome passing from one
to another, as if it were right instead
of being the fruit of injustice. We
wish the right Of the papacy to remain
intact. We declare that neither time
nor a succession of rulers can suppress
or diminish the imperishable right of
the pontiff."

UP TO THE MAYOR.
Chicago City Council Adopts Resolution
Prohibiting Prize Fights.

8H... a-... #
Chicago, Dec. 17-There will be no
prize fights .leld in Chicago unless
Mayor Carter Harrison vetoes the
anti-fight resolution which was almost
unanimously adopted by the city coun-
Gil tonight. The unsatisfactory end
ing of the Gans-McG Govern contest at
Tattersall's last Thursday night per-
suaded the council to allow no more
prize fights. According to the resolu-
ton adopted, no permits for sparring
or boxing exhibitions can be issued by
the mayor, and the chief of police is
held responsible for the law being car
ried out. It is believed the mayor may
sign the ordinance which passed by a
vote of 81 to g.. The penalty against
prize fighting, according to state law,
is from one to ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary for each %offense.

Use of & Great Name.

Here's tip for some of our old friends who have big names and need a little ready money: Turner Beall, president of the Produce Exchange Trust Company. used to be secretary of the Produce Exchange and of the New York Southern Society. Among the men of his acquaintance he ad- mires none so much as does Colonel William de Hertburne Washington. A little while ago he asked Colonel Washington if he might use his name in a financial transaction. Having im- plieit faith in Beall, the colonel con- sented. and was pleased to receive a short time afterward a check for s15,000. his share of deal made by his friend on the strength of the name of Washington.

EARTH IS GETTING SMALLER,
At Least It's Peoples Are Coming Closer
 Together Every Day.


 From the St. Louis be-Democrat: One of the wonders of this marvellous age is the rapidity with which the re- mote quarters of the earth are being brought close together. According to the Russian minister of railroad. when Russia s new trans-Siberian railroad is finished the trip around the world can be made in thirty-three days. .When Jules VerEe. just twenty-five years ago, sent the fictitious Phineas Fogg around the world ia eighty days this exploit was deemed to be as near the absolutely impossible as at one time Puck feat was of putting girdle round about the earth in forty min utes. Two American women travel. ing in opposite directions, beat Fogg's mythical exploit few years ago. When the Russian railroad is built, however, the record of their journeys will. in the comparison. seem like the old stage coach and sailing vessel tray- els do today. With what incredulity would the navigators of a century ago have looked at the forthcoming Rus sian time table. The remnant of the fleet with which Magellan left San Lu- car. in Spain, in 1519. returned to that port in 1522. Three years. lacking two weeks. were required for the cireum- navigation of the earth The first of the British world circlers. Drake, who sailed hal2 a century later, was as long making the distance. Cook, who made the journey a century later than Drake, was two years ten months on the Yoy- age. n the century and half be- tween Magellan and Cook the time of the world circuit has been shortened in only an imperceptible degree. There had been but little improvement in the speed of the ocean vessels since the days when Odysseus in his shallop, af- ter the Trojan war, started on his re- turn to Ithiea. No improvement of consequence, indeed, was made until the days when steam began to be ap- piled to ocean navigation and that was at such comparatively recent date that on May 24. 1Sts, the day on which Victoria was born, the first steamboat which ever crossed the Atlantic start ed, leaving Savannah for Liverpool. and taking twenty-six days to make the voyage, which would now be made In less than six.

The tax payers of Pine Bluff get 3ess for their money than the citi- zeus of any other town in the Uaited States. We have neither lights, clean streets nor any sort of public Improvements, while the town is
 wide open and any sort of a thing that will pay license to the city is tolerated. What excuse the present city government has for its exlst- ence, or what becomes of the peoples money, we do not know. All tbe taxpayer can see for hls money is an oceasiona policeman.
