BUTTE TO BE DIVIDED.

1t is now certain from the almost
complete figures of the recent vote
that Butte county, the biggest in the
state, will, by the vote of the inhabit-
ants, be divided into three counties.
The vote on the county division was
heavy and was decidedly affirmative.
Butte county today is over 100 miles
long, and the northern part of the
county is almost out of touch with
the southern part, where the county
seat now is. The new counties are to
be known as Perkins and Harding, but
the question of the county seat for
each will not be known for few days
Lennon, which cast 2SS votes, proba
by will be the county seat of Perkins
county which is in the northeastern
part of the county, and the northwest
ern part will likely be governed from
Camp Cook as the county seat of Hard
ing county. Butte county with its
reduced territory will continue to have
it's count seat at Belle Fourche, and
the result will mean a new and com
modious county building for that city
The two new counties are fast filling
up with settlers.

CAPT. GUYER LEAVES.

Capt. Geo. ID. Guyer and family left
Friday moring for Fort Cook, near
Omaha, where the captain rejoins his
regiment, the 18th u. S. infantry
Captain Guyer has been commandant
at the college the past four years,
during which time he has gained the
goodwill and friendship of everyone
with whom he has come in contact,
and the departure of he and his family
is generally regretted. So popular has
he been that his term of service was
extended one year, but under the rules
of the War Department he could not
remain longer away from his regiment
He has taken great interest in the
affairs of the state guard and the mem
bers of that organization will greatly
regret his departure from the state.

UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES.

One of the pleasantest features of
the theatrical season will be the re-
turn of that delightful play, "Under
Southern Skies" No other play of
recent years dealing with life in the
sunny south as met with such favor
as Mrs. Parker's entertaining play.
In fact no other play of southern life
has ever been written which presents
the romance, the gayety, the lavish
hospitality and the humOr of life in
the south with such a natural charm
and intense interest as Mrs. Parker
has succeeded in putting into Under
Southern Skies" The theatre going
public throughout the country has
been quick in recognizing the great
merit of the play, and it is now in
its eighth season of phenomenal sue
cess Crowded houses are the rule for
this splendid attraction and it's return
dates are greeted by enthusiastic au-
dienceS which test the capacity of
the theatres. The beautiful sentiment
Of the play appeals to- every one and
the fun and frolic of the Halloween
party delight the young and make the
older and sadder ones forget their
years and renew the days of their
own youth and romance. Under
Southern Skies" possesses the unusu
al power Of making the audience seem
a part of itself, weeping with the
characters in their griefs, and laugh
ing with them in their merry moments
1t is this power which has made the
play the great success it is, and which
draws people to see it, over and over
again. For this season an entirely
new outfit of scenery has been pro
vided to represent the beautiful south
ern landscape and stately mansions
new costumes will be worn by the
actors and an entirely different ar
rangement of songs and dances ha.
been made for the Halloween cele
bration which is such an enjoyable
feature of the performance. A strons
cast has been selected to portray thu
many interesting roles. The date o
Under Southern Skies" appearance,
at the Grand is December s.

SOMETHING GOOD.

Mas New Husband" which is an
house on Saturday, November 21 is
a farcical comedy of the musical type.
1t has perfectly sane plot, with none
of the extravagances so common to
plays of it's class. The central figure,
which is denoted in the title, is
clever and ingenious actor with whom
fortune has dealt hardly. Pinched
financially by his failure on the road
and through inability to market his
plays, he is at his wits end to make
both ends meet. To heighten the
misery Of his plight, he is in love with
a charming widow whose worldly goods
have also been swept away by mis-
fortune. The widow has a rich bach
elor cousin, who luckily invites her to
his home when her affairs look most
forbidding. She is paSsionately fond
of hor lover and cannot bear the
thought of parting. Together they con-
ceiye the plan of making him pose
as her son and so they visit her
cousin, whose home becomes the
scene of the most side-splitting COM
plicat.ons owing to the supposed re-
Ilationship. Guests, servants and host,
as well as the lovers, are all involved
in the merry train of circumstances,
until the actor declares his identity
and proves his right to the title of
,"Mas New Husband" instead of son.
The musical numbers are tuneful and
popular, the kind that catch the ear
and become familiar in the home and
on the street.

A SMOOTH SWlNDL.E.

Two smooth swindles are being
worked among farmers in not far
distant localities in this state. One
is where a Well dressed, smooth talk
ing individual appears at the farm
home and announces himself as an
inspector of live stock. He proceeds
to inspect the cattle, sheep, etc, and
then presents bill from $3.50 to So,
as the case may be. Later the farm
er discovers the inspector is an i'm
poster; that he has no authority from
the government or other sources to
warrant him in making these calls.
Another scheme is being worked,
where al alleged inspector examines
the farmers cattle and pronounces the
existence in the herd of tuberculosis.
He ventures the suggestion that the
disease is in a very light form and
advises the owner to dispose of the
stock as soon as possible to someone
outside of the county in which he re-
sides. A few days later stock buy
,er chances along and purchases the
cattle at price below the market
quotations, the farmer congratulating
himself that he has disposed of his
cattle and saved him from loss, only
at later date to discover that he had
been the victim of smooth swindler
and that his cattle passed inspection
and were sent to eastern markets.

tor of the Torch Press. Some of the

its victories over Brookings and Mitch.

The cadets of the college battalion
are wearing looks of regret this week
on account of the departure of Capt.
Geo. ID. Guyer, who has had charge of
that department for the past four
years. Capt. Guyer's regular term of
service expired one year ago but the
War Department permitted him to re-
main an extra year as a special favor
to the State college. He was liked by
all who had work under him and his
going is in the light of a personal
loss to many of the cadets. His sue
cessor will be Capt. Wallace of the
coast artillery, which is now stationed
at Fort Totten, Long Island. Until the
arrival of Capt. Wallace, Prof. Lindsey
d. Whitehead will have charge of the
battalion.

this will give an opportunity for a

Empty dinner pals are strewn thickly along the iron
