1.-THE Retail Cigar Dealers Associa-
tion" is the proposed title at the latest
organization in Butte, "An organization
of dealers in cigars and tobacco" as
reads the constitution which is to be pre-
sented at meeting this afternoon.
The title is innocent looking, and the
object, as stated, is good one from the
standpoint of trade; But there may be
something doing before the association
reaches smooth sailing.
1t appears that the association is the
outgrOwth of a price-cutting war that
has made serious inroads into the pro-
fits of the dealers. From time immem-
orial it has been customary in Butte to
get II 1-2 cents straight for cigars that
cost in the neighborhood of SO to $50 per
thousand; apparently a good liberal pro-
fit, even after considering the freight"
which is heavy.
But some of the dealers have of late
iaken to selling cigars of that grade for
ten cents or even three for a quarter,
margin of profit.
they are right. At any rate, when cut
ting began. others followed suit, until
q man could all but smoke for nothing.
Other grades were cut also. cigars that
cost in the neighborhood of $50 per thou
sand being now sold two for quarter,
whereas they had formerly retailed at Is
cents straight, or even three for fifty
cents. The principal demand, however, is
for the popular grades, represented by
the ten-centers.
Most of the $50 retail dealers in the
city, those who handle tobacco exclu-
sively, and the confectionery and drug
stores. have signified their willingness to
anter the new orga anizat'on Some of them

lieve the reports as to the damage have

ing:
II do not regard the crop as serious

reports from western states. On July
the condition Of the corn crop was more
promising than on the same date last
year and even if the press reports are
not exaggerated, although l am inclined
to think they overstate the real condi-
tions, there is not, as yet, cause for
genuine alarm.

Should the strike be prolonged many

association has a strike fund in bank
which is said to amount to between

Cooling the Air.

There are several devices that may be used
to cool the air during the dog days. A modi
fed form of the Tattle employed in India for
this purpose could be made in any country
house On frames like those used for win
dow screens tack enough narrow tapes to make
support for thick bed of grass: Now cover
with long grass fastened to the frame by sew
ing Irvine. These screens should be placed in
the window and kept wet. The air passing
through them is cooled. A garden syringe
may be used to spray them with water. Three
or four of these screens will do great deal
towards keeping the air in the house fresh
and cool. A simpler screen may be made by
covering a frame with coarse flannel, which
should be kept wet. 1t is not so effective as
the grass screen, and the flannel dries more
quickly than the grass. A still simpler device
is to have wet flannel over the ordinary screen,
wetting the flannel from time to time. Some
of the moisture may be removed from the
atmosphere by placing large Jumps of quick
lime in earthen bowls about the rooms.

COMPELLED TO PAY
BORDEAUX MUST CONTINUE TO
ADVANCE ALIMONY.
NOT RELIEVED BY DIVORCE
Judge Clancy Decides Obligation Will
Exist Till Time for Appeal Has
Past or Appeal Been De-
termined.

Judge Clancy this moring heard the or
der directing John r. Bordeaux to show
cause why he should not be adjudged
guilty of contempt of court in failing to
pay his wife alimony of 500 month for
October and November, and at O'Clock
he made an order directing Mr.. Bordeaux
to pay the money forthwith or be con-
fined in Jail till he did So
Heretofore Judge Clancy made an or
der in the Bordeaux divorce suit direct
ing Mr.. Bordeaux to pay to his wife,
Ella +. Bordeaux, 500 month alimony.
This order was complied with up to
October l. The money was not paid for
October or November, however, and Mrs.
Bordeaux instituted the proceedings
heard today, to have Mr.. Bordeaux de-
clared in contempt.
A divorce was granted Bordeaux by
Judge Clancy on September Is, and he
ceased to pay the alimony after that
event. The question Of law presented to
the court today was whether Bordeaux
still was or was not obligated to pay
the alimony, his counsel taking the neg
alive and Mrs. Bordeaux's lawyers the
affirmative.
Judge Clancy said that, in his opinion,
the obligation would not cease to exist
until the time for an appeal in the case
had passed or an appeal had been de-
termined by the supreme court. Mrs.
Bordeaux's attorneys said that Bordeaux
would pay the alimony and not go to
Jail.
