Custodian Will Open Bids Next week
Chief Items of BK-t

Next Friday the custodian OF the fed
eral building will open bids for the an
nuai supplies for the building. The prin-
cipal items in the proposals are 1000 tons
of coal and 100. 900 pounds OF ice, the other
items being small acquisitions for brooms,
brushes, soap, ETC.. with contracts for wash
ing towels and, hauling ashes.
The principal items for maintaining the

approximately $3.50 to illuminate the rooms
OF the building, one-half this sum having
been spent during the last six months. OF
this amount S912 viii so to the gas company
and $2,5ss to the electric light company. A
short time ago there was a discussion be-
tween the custodian and the manager OF the

machine was In operation and the govern
ment was paying IS a month. nat rate for
the current. When the other machine was
installed, to settle the question the man

The offense charged was the larceny Of
S15 from the peTson OF Christian Grleb Feb
ruary 10 and she withdrew her plea Of not
guilty and pleaded guilty yesterday after
the trial was more than half over. The
change was brought about by the death of
the daughter OF Arch Harvey, a colored man
serving on the jury, The case was put
over on his account Thursday, but when he
appeared yesterday he was utterly una
BILE to sit through legal proceedings. With
a grief that was not obtrusive, but so deep
and genuine that 1t brought tears to the
eyes Of many in the court room, he appealed
to the Judge to be eSolsed and the court
called the attorneys for conference. The
defendants attorney. seeing little hope even
with a new Jury, persuaded his client to
change her plea and the case was disposed
Of within Ave minutes, Harvey was ex-
cused from the court until Monday and the
other Jurors were dismissed to serve In
other courts.
The Jury that sat In the trial Of William
Norton, a boy charged with burglary, went
out at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon and
came in two hours later with . verdict of
guilty.

Queer Effect Of Ice Gorge Which Blocks

rERRYBoAI STRANDED IN MlDsTREAN
Flow Of Water at Chamberlain Re-
duced to Far Below Normal,
but No Eject Felt
81 v Here.

w. H. Penn has returned from a trip to
Sioux City, where he went to inspect the
work of weighing the mails at that point.
The work of Weighing Is progressing salts
factorily, but the railway mail service 10
disarranged by the unprecedented action Of
the Missouri river between Pierre and
YaRkton.
Newspaper reports have given a brief ac-
count Of a. gorge which has formed In the
river between Pierre and Chamberlain, 8.
d." said Mr.. Penn, but the result OF that
gorge has not been felt below ChamberlatE
until recently.
"The mails for Ninbrara. Neb., from the
east go by way Of Sioux City and Yank-
ton to Running Water, S. D., whence they
are transferred by ferryboat to Niobrara.
With the formation Of the gorge at Pierre
the water In the Missouri river fell at the
mouth Of the Niobrara river 30 much that
the ferryboat is stranded in the center OF
the river, in what would ordinarily be the
current Of the river. At this point the
~quicksand is SO bad hat 1t lie impossible
to ford the river, and so all mail for Mo-
brara is now sent by way Of Emerson, Neb.,
and all mail for that point was delayed a
day when the boat FIRST stranded.
"At Yankton 1t is impossible TO operate
the ferry and the same condition exists at
other points along the river"
At the government weather bureau in
this city reports are received regularly
from Sioux City and will be received from
Pierre as soon as the river opens at that
point. 1t was open for a while this
spring. but the last report received was
that it had closed again. At Sioux City
the condition this morning did not seem
serious. A rise Of six-tenths OF an inch
was reported for the twenty-four hours
ending Thursday morning and a fall Of four
tenths Of a. inch yesterday morning. leav-
ing the river about normal, but with an in
dication Of the effect Of the gorge at Pierre.
At Omaha there has been comparatively
no change In the river. but he indications
are that unless the ice gorge breaks sud
denly there will be a fall In the water soon.
