peer into the tanks You see what at
first seem to you just like particularly
handsome aud gorgeous flowers grow

OF the flowers look like dainty pink
aud white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahlias. Others look almost
like daisies, with lacelike petals
Others look Ike little star lowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are OF all sizes, from tiny ones barely
large enough to see TO great ones al
most large enough to lin n saucer.
But II you win watch these flow

CHARGED WITH ANOTHER.
Sim Roberts Is Again Accused Of
Horse Stealing.
TUESDAYS Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Sim Roberts, whose preliminary en-
animation on a charge of horse steal
ing was held before a justice of the
peace at Forsyth yesterday, was
bound over in the sum Of $500 to ap-
pear in the district court of Rosebud
county and answer to the charge. He
gave bond.
New trouble now awaits Roberts,
and he will likely be brought to Vel
lowstone county to face a similar
charge. A complaint was fled with
Justice Fraser this morning by E.
N. Cooper "a ranchman and horse
dealer of this vicinity, which charges
that, " on or about the 10th day of
September, 1902, the said S. B. Rob-
erts committed the crime of grand
larceny by driving away with felonious
intent, and stole one chestnut sorrel
mare branded with a DJ connected on
the left thigh, then and there the
property of the said E. N. Cooper"
A warrant was at once issued and
placed in the hands of the sheriff and
Roberts will probably be apprehended
at Miles City on his return home from
Forsyth.
w. M. Johnston who defended him
in the preliminary examination at For
syth yesterday, returned home this
morning. The first information he
had concerning the new warrant
against his client was impaired to
him by a representative of The Ga
zette, and he said that Roberts had
spoken to him something about the
horse mentioned in Cooper's com
plant. The offense alleged in
Cooper's complaint was committed,
SO the complainant states, since the
arrest of Roberts in Rosebud county.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Joe Kannick, who was arrested dur
ing fair week on a charge Of forgery,
and released four days ago ,on motion
of the county attorney, was re-arrested
by Policeman Hayden last night, on
a charge OF, obtaining money under
false %pretenses.
At the time of his release from S
tcdy the county attorney was unable
to get hold of enough evidence to sus-
tain the charge Of forgery. Last
Monday, however, he secured consid-
cradle information against him to
substantiate a charge Of obtaining
money on false pretenses and ordered
his re-arrest on sight. Kannick was
placed in the county Jail and will like
ly be brought before Justice Fraser
this afternoon for arraignment.

Lawsuit That Involves Claims and

Virtue fled an offset that nearly or

n. sPELKER's GRAVE CHARGE
AGAINST HIS WIFE.
MENTIONS NAME AND DATE
Asks Divorce on Statutory Grond and
Demands Custody Of Minor
Child.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
After having been a benedict for q
little over eight years, Henry j
Speaker has arrived at the conclusion
that married life no longer has any
attractions for him, at least not with
his present wife as a sharer of his
sorrows and joys. If the allegations
he makes in a complaint he caused to
be filed with the clerk Of the district
court this morning are true and can
be proved at the proper time and in
the proper manner it would seem that
he has more than a fair share of sor-
row and humiliation to bear and that
instead of being divided between the
two, the burden under which he stag
gers was placed upon his shoulders
by e whom he had every reason to
suppose would be the last one to dis
grace him.
Mr.. Speaker charges his wife, Ada
L., with having committed adultery
and one w. Armstrong as the
man to whose Establishments she sue
cumbed so far as to repeatedly forget
her marriage vows and her duty as a
wife.
He says that he and the defendant
were intermarried at Raway, Essex
county, N. j., February II, 1894, and
thof fnr mona fho~ a x,ao,, pac+ h. Hoe
been a resident of the state. Contin-
uing ne declares that during the
months of April, May, June and July
Of this year, and particularly on the
9th and 31st of May and continuously
between June Is and July 2, 1902, the
defendant has been guilty of the Of
Tense alleged and with the party nam
ed. He names SIS, South Thirty-first
street, this city, as the place where
the alleged %offense, Or series of Of
lenses were committed.
He declares that he has not condon-
ed his wife's conduct and that since
his discovery Of her unfaithfulness
he has net lived or %cohabited with
her and that each and all of the sew
eral acts alleged we're committed with
out his consent, connivance, procure
ment or previous knowledge.
One child, a girl, Gladys Dean, aged
6 years, has been born as a result of
their union and Speaker, in addition to
demanding a decree also asks the
court to grant him custody Of the
child.
H. G. Crippen appears for the plain
tiff.

FOR SOME OTHER NJ
Anniversary Celebration Of ParmIy
Billings Library Postponed.

Lrt"IL-U- '.#
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
1t is announced today that the cele-
bration Of the first anniversary of the
dedication Of the Parmly Billings
Memorial library, has been postponed
to some future date.
The facts of the postponement could
not be a~scertained in full on account
of the absence from the city of l. d.
O'Donnell, who had the celebration
in charge. 1t is understood, how
ever, that there are various good and
sufficient eason for the postpone
ment. The committee desired to hold
the anniversary exercises in the ev-
ening and the fact that the Royal
Italian band will occupy the opera
house tomorrow evening is n of
them. Another reason is that Judge
Goss and the Rev. W. d. Clark, men
bers of the library board, will be out
of town and A. L. Babcock, another
member, will have an unusual rush of
business tomorrow.
Various parties, singers and others,
who were expected to take part in the
programme, will desire to hear the
concert, and for all Of these reasons
and some others the board decided on
postponement. The date will be
fixed in a few days and announced in
1ue time.

CENSUS BUREAU GATHERING
STATISTICS ON IRRIGATION.
GETTING DATA IN MONTANA
Visits State to Lern Some
thing About Number Of Water
Rights Filed.

That the federal government Is seri
ously considering the question Of re
claiming the arid lands Of Montana
and other western states is evidences
by the fact that no expense is beins
spared to gather statistics relative
to the benefits of irrigation. 6. ]
Blanchard, chief Of the irrigation sec
ton of the census bureu, is in the state
for the purpose of collecting data
that will assist the government in
it's work, says the Helena Herald.
Mr.. Blanchard arrived here yester.
day and expects to leave tomorrow
While here he has examined the rec.
ords in the office of the county clerk
and recorder in order to learn some
thing about the number of water
rights that r of record, also. to gath.
er any other information that might
be of value.
just before the last congress ad-
journed there was passed a bill that
provided for continuing by the census
bureau the investigation of irrigation
matters. This information will be
furnished to the geological survey.
"The question of irrigating the pub
lie lands of the semi-arid states is
II Of the most important that CON
gross has considered for years. said
Mr.. Blanchard today. "The govern
ment realizes it's Importance and for
that reason is sparing no expense to
gather all the information that may
be of assistance in carrying out the
plans contemplated. l am looking up
the records to find. out the number
and length of the irrigation bitches
at present in use, the amount of land
that is irrigated and the value of the
crops that are raised by irrigation.
All of these statistics will be turned
over to the geological survey to be
used in carrying out the work of that
department and especially to furnish
an idea of the territory at present be-
ing irrigated. I am also gathering in
formation relative to the topography
of the country that will of course be
useful
Mr.. Blanchard is an old newspaper
man, having been connected with the
Minneapolis Times at the time that
his father was one of the owners of
that paper.
Mr.. Blanchard besides visiting the
clerk and recorders office today to
find out about the number OF water
rights filed in this city, went out to
the capitol and met some of the state
officials. IIe was greatly pleased
with the building, in fact expressed
himself in e~xtravagant terms re-
specting it's appearance.
Mr.. Blanchard will leave Helena
tomorrow for the western part of the
state.

THE END NEAR.
Season for Shipping Range Cattle Is
About Over, RI"

Season for Shipping Range Cattle Is
About Over.
According to the weekly bulletin OF
Rosenbaum Bros, received here yes
terday, about so per cent Of the cat
tie intended for shipment this season
have been forwarded. The bulletin
says:
During the past week there have
been no very radical changes. Prices
on the right weight cattle and those
Of the right quality have not changed
much. The better grades have shown
some advance, while the common to
fair kinds have met with but little
inquiry. The dressed beef grades of
native cattle especially have suffered
some during the past few days. In
dications point to a continued scare
ity Of good ripe cattle and we do not
think there will be any too man, of
that kind for months to come.
Naturally as the fall advances and
grass is cut, off by frost we may look
for a rush of unfinished cattle, and
probably there will be more than the
usual number of warmed up cattle.
Receipts of rangers last week show
us as follows. with comparisons: Last
week. 1880; week previous, 1000;
year ago, l4,sOO; two years ago, 49,
700.
''The supply of range cattle so far
this season has been liberal and con-
sentative estimates place the number
marketed as 20 per cent of the years
total. While from some localities ship
ments have moved more freely than
others and possibly so per cent of the
cattle intended for this seasons mar
ket has been shipped. Other districts
have not shipped as heavily, but it is
generally considered that fully 70 per
cent of the rangers for this season
have been marketed"
