FIVE CHILDREN
IN THE COURT
RODRIGUES DIVORCE SUIT WAS
HEARD IN PART BY JUDGE DE
BOLT THIS MORNING.

The divorce suit of Mrs. Nellie Rod
rigues brought to obtain a complete
severance of her marital relations with
Manuel Rodrigues was called in Judge
De Bolts court this morning. The
woman came to court accompanied by
five small children who were plainly
of the belief that the whole show had
been arranged for their benefit. They
gazed i'm round-eyed wonder at their
mothers attorney George A. Davis, as
he vigorously laid down the law to
Judge De Bolt and made different adj
vances to their father who sat aside
while Judge Humphreys fought the
case along technical lines. Rodrigues
was recently severely fined in the po-
lice court for adultery and the present
divorce action is based on those pro-
ceedings. Judge humphreys claimed
that his client was entitled to As hours
notice of the motion to pay temporary
alimony and with this view Judge De
Bolt seemed to concur. The case was
sent over until January 2, Rodrigues
agreeing to pay his wife 81 a week in
the meantime.

never, at any time contemplated the
abandonment of the st. Mary's-Milk
River project, and all that now. re-
strains the secretary of the interior
from ordering work all along the line
from st. Mary's lake to Glasgow is
the determination of a few engineer
ing projects, the chief OF which is the
location of a dam at the point OF
diversion from the Marias; it has not
yet been determined just where this
dam shall be located. Mr.. Babb is
now in charge of some additional sur
veys, borings, tests, ETC., in that vi
cinity and a board of consulting engi-
neers will soon visit The proposed site
and finally pass upon it.
The secretary of the interior has
decided to appropriate $ ,5O0,000 for
the st. Mary's-Milk River project en-
tire, and while work will first be be-
gun upon the lower portion of the
great system, there is not, and has
not been, the slightest intention Of
abandoning the upper project.
There has been a slight change in
the plans. The waters of st. Mary's
will not be permitted to flow into that
branch of Milk river which runs
through Canada. What is known as
the Marias diversion plan will be fol-
lowed, and while this will require the
construction of a great canal more
than 100 miles in length, the engineers
have passed upon all the surveys and
have approved the plan. They report
that the necessary canal will follow
very largely a natural course, and that
the canal will be adequate and may
be cheaply constructed.

AS 70 WOOL RECEIPTS.
Much Delivered at Both Of the Ware.
houses.

Estimates made by those in charge
of the respective warehouses showed
that up to last Saturday a total Of
about 4,000,O0O pounds of wool had
been received in the city. OF this
amount 100000 pounds was delivered
to the Northern Pacific and the bal
ance to the Burlington. OF that at
the Northern Pacific's warehouse
about two-thirds had been baled, while
at the. Burlington baling had been
well kept up SO that the amount ahead
was comparatively small.
Contrary to the opinion Of some, it
is believed that the total of the re.
ceipts this year will be but little be.
low that Of last year, although it an
not be stated with any degree of ac-
curacy what the receipts will be until
after the books of the two railroad
companies have been checked up at
the end of the season. By reason OF
the private buying there is no record
to be had of many sales made, where
as in past years every clip sold was
recorded at the exchange.
News has been received from Dill
lon that the market there practically
closed last Friday, as about every
clip tributary to that place had been
sold. It was also said that it was be-
lieved the output this year would ex-
coed that of last.

IN ANNUAL
State Board Of Equalization Preparing
for Business.

for Business.
This is the month when the state
board of equalization will meet for
its annual adjustment of the taxes
of the state. The returns from the
assessors of the different counties
have begun to arrive at the Office Of
the board and the clerk will be kept
busy preparing them, along with the
necessary tables for submission to
the board.
The latter is composed of Governor
Toole, Secretary of State George M.
Hays, State Treasurer A. H. Barrett,
Attorney General Donovan and State
Auditor ]. H. Calderhead, who will
convene the third Monday of the
month. If they follow the usual GUS
tom they will hear first the state,
ments Of the representatives of the
railroads in regard to the valuation
of that class of property, after which
the matter will be considered by the
board, whose decision will be then
announced. Then the railroads will
be given a second hearing, in the
event they wish to enter protests
against the assessments decided upon
by the board, something they almost
always do.
1t is probable that the usual course
will be reversed this year and in
stead of taking up as much time as
formerly the board will act within a
day or two after the subject has been
submitted, to the end that the pro-
tests may be heard at once, thus doing
away with the necessity of a second
trip to the capital by representatives
| Of the different roads.
Last year the total valuation placed
upon the railroad property in the state
was $35, 442, 186, of which amount 1884,
626,98 was on main lines, the balance
on side lines and sidings. The com
plete mileage was 3,131 miles of main
lines and 666 Of sidings. The
important of the roads were assessed
at l $4,000 per mile.
The coming session of the board
will last well into August.

MILK RIVER PROJECT.
Government viii Begin Construction
Of Canal Soon.

Government Will Begin Construction
Of Canal Soon.
The Great Northern Railway COM
pany has been notified by the United
States government OF its intention
to proceed, as soon as the necessary
preliminaries shall have been arrang-
ed, with the construction of the Milk
River canal system, and is now pre-
pairing to move its tracks from lands
that will be submerged by the govern
ment's reservoirs, says the Great
Falls Tribune.
The railway company's surveyors
have been engaged for some time in
making surveys for the new line, and
have now completed their work. They
have run four lines from Ashfield
east, two north Of Bowdoin lake and
two south of that body Of water.
Where the railway now runs in that
vicinity the government will build one
of its largest reservoirs, to embrace
Bowdoin lake and much of the sur
rounding country, and it is estimated
that the railway company will be COM
PEELED to build about 20 miles of new
track.
Cyrus c. Babb. engineer in charge
Of the Milk River project. is receiv-
ing many replies to his circular let
ter, requesting owners of land along
the proposed canal to pledge them
selves to take water rights, and feels
confident that the secretary of the
interior will, within a month, award
the contract for construction of that
portion Of the canal from Dodson
eastward.
It may be stated, upon the highest
authority, that the government has

they come to us in all the glory Of q

to all men that the Norris & Rowe's
shows have grown-the sturdy, lusty,
healthy growth Of the trained animal
show to the marvellous heights OF the
dignifed full and complete two ringed
and elevated stage circus. First
among those worthy of mention are
the human actors, the six marvellous

almost every one in. the city and dur

beautiful private display ever attempt
ed in Billings.

NOT LIKE THE STORY.
Elks Now Know the Difference Be-
tween Amateur and Professional.

r SVvSSs ~sS E+
In the story the amateur who pits
himself against the professional us
ually wins. The story writer knows
that is the way his readers would have
it if they could, SO he tries to please
them. But in the actual contest Of
skill or endurance or both, for very
often both those qualities are involved,
it is the other fellow who carries OF
the hOnors. This generally holds good,
even though the man who INDUCES in
sports for the mere pleasure and ex-
element of contest and sports sake
finds himself opposed to the meal
ticket Class Of professional who fnds
1t convenient to travel in box cars and
on ~brakebeams in his journeys over
the land. If there are any who may
doubt this let them ask the Elks' ball
team, the Billings Elks' ball team,
that played at Miles last Monday, and
they will speedily have their minds
disabused of any false notions.
AS long as they confined their
games to teams of strictly amateur
players like themselves they managed
to come back with ribbons denoting
victory floating from their antlers, but
when ambition, or good nature,
prompted them to accept an invitation
from the Milesians to meet their COM
bination of sluggers who play ball for
the sake Of getting something to eat
and places in which to sleep, and
meet them on their own ground and
with an umpire of their own choosing,
they realized the difference between
playing ball with men of their own
class and standing and the kind that
don uniforms for what there is to be
made out of it, even if no more than
three squares a day"
And then there was the umpire, a
whole team in himself whenever Miles
needed him. It would be manifestly
unfair to a gentleman of his official
and social standing, for he is the
mayor of Milestown, to accuse him Of
wilful misjudglng, but he is sadly
afflicted with a visual affection that
unfortunately was always most in evil
dence when it affected the chances OF
the visitors. No attempt will be made
to give the medical term for his dis

a misery" but it manifested itself
only at intervals, when it was conve-
nient not to see, like, for instance.
when a Miles man deliberately would
block the fielding of the catcher, or
when another would be several feet
from a bag with an Elk holding the
ball and waiting for him to get there.
Again that same sad affliction would
be observable when a foul ball cut
outside of third, and yards to the out
side OF the yellow flag. The spectators
might make affidavit to the exact
course pursued by the sphere, but
the umpire outmissouried the Missou-
rians in that turn of the Tongue and
declined absolutely to be Showed"
Between the umpire, the tricky play
ing of the meal ticket artists and the
hard luck the Elks had and their
unfortunate selection of a pitcher, the
agony finally ended with a score Of
IL to 2.

"a called meeting of the board OF
county commissioners a held last
Friday for the purpose of receiving
estimates from the architect superin-
tending the construction of the new
court house.
Because OF the absence of any cele-
bration or other attraction here, many
persons from the city spent yesterday
in the country and surrounding towns,
where communal patriotism seems to
be stronger and where the day was OBJ
served in a good old fashioned a
ner.
Contrary to the usual custom of that
institution, the wool exchange did
not open for business today. It is
expected that no clips will be offered
there before next Thursday or Friday.
AS has been previously published, lit
tie of the staple remains unsold and
il is expected that the open market
will be of short duration.
While going to the Sunday school
picnic yesterday Herbert, the 9-year-
old son of V. III. Luderman, was in
.jured by falling under a wagon. It
is claimed that the boy, who is an
expert equestrian for one of his age,
attempted to jump from a horse onto
the wagon and fell under the wheels.
While painful, his injuries are not Sc
rious.
A marriage license was granted
last Saturday to Thomas l.. Linton Of
Fromberg and Maude Greeley OF
Thomson, Ills. Mr.. Linton formerly
made his home in Billings and was
among the early settlers, at one time
filing the position Of county commits

at Fromberg, where he is engaged in
the stock business.
Frank Tobin, a relic Of the days
when Billings boosted Of a profess

Frysinger's Colts Absolutely

There were heap big doings with Inc
Carlisle Indians on the South side hes-
ervation Saturday when Frysingel
palefaces took their scalps in an eNclt-
ing mix-up which resulted in Poor 10
being scalped TO finish Of TO 2.
The Red Men looked Formidable pe-
fore the contest and more so atter it
began. Young Brave Charles was the
slab artist and for the first seven in-
nines but one safe swipe was picked out
OFF the different kinds he passed over
the plate. This one was located by
RED Maher. (who Is not a kedskin'
bv the way but gets his cognomen
from his Titian locks). lie pounded out
a hit that bounded into the right field

out had made @ round trip.

trouble started IN earnest for the ked
Men. In these two rounds six runs We're
counted.
Blough. who started 10 to pitch left
the box of his own accord IN the third
inning. He does not appear to have

him and pitched a nice game.
In spite of the circus being counter
