ExclTEs SIOUX FALLS.
Mrs. Hunt Refuses to Tell Of REASON

Mrs. Hunt Refuses to Tell Of Reasons
for Her Presence.
Mrs. Jarvis Hunt of Chicago, promi-
nent society favorite and horse
woman, who has taken up her resi-
dence in Sioux Falls. presumably for
the purpose of establishing legal
residence and applying for divorce.
last week granted her first audience
to newspaper man since coming to
Sioux Falls.
When informed that the report was
in circulation that she had come to
Sioux Falls for a divorce, and that
the newspapers would be glad to print
a statement from her as to the cor
rectness or incorrectness OF this re-
port, she stated she did not care to
make a statement, adding that her
private affairs were of no concern to
the public.
"You know" 1t was explained to
her, that whenever person OF
prominence from the East comes to
Sioux Falls 1t is the natural inference
that they have come for q divorce"
Goodness" she exclaimed, hasn't
a person right to come to Sioux
Falls to liver"
It was stated to her that the news
papers are quite excited as to why
she came to Sioux Falls, and wonder
If she really came her to secure a
divorce.
81 have been around the country a
good DEAL" was the evasive answer,
land have lived in good many
places and have never yet applied
for divorce"
After several more questions as to
why she should have selected Sioux
Falls as a place of residence, and as
to the general belief that she had be-
come a member of the divorce colony,
Mrs. Hunt closed the argument with
the remark, which doubtless was in
tended to put quietus on the divorce
rumors. well, anyway, my husband
will be here himself in about a
month"
Notwithstanding these semi-denials
it is not doubted in well informed
quarters that Mrs Hunt is unques-
tionably here for the purpose OF be-
coming q legal resident so she can
take advantage of the divorce laws
of South Dakota. For her to admit
she was here for divorce would in
validate her residence and defeat any
plans she might have for securing a
| divorce.

Lennon Resident Must os Five
Times as Far by Rail.
While It is known that Butte IL
the largest county In the state, how
many people realize Just what that
means? Practically ninety miles east
and west and the same north and
south on it's west line. AS large as
all that part of the state bounded by
q line drawn from the northwest cor
ner of Sanborn county to the state
line east and south.
The residents of Lennon. In the
northeast part of the county, when
he has business to transact at Belle
Fourche, the county seat, has the al
tentative of drive OF $50 miles
across country, or a trip of about 700
miles by way of Aberdeen, Huron and
Pierre, either OF which will take him
about the same length OF time. OF
course, before this immense county
becomes as thickly populated as the
southeastern part OF the state 1t will
be cut into smaller counties, but
with less dense population it would
contain as many people az now COM
prise one-fourth of the population Of
the state.
The lands in this county reserved
for public school, state building and
endowment lands, with forest reserve
lands amount to, in round numbers,
100000 acres, or enough to make a
county larger than several OF the
counties In the eastern part Of the
state. OF this 100000 acres are com
mon school, $4,000 acres public build
ing and endowment, and 10000 acres
forest reserve. Were these all grouped
together instead of being scattered
over the county, they would make
good county of their own.

MITCHELL Is RECOGNIZED.
REIMBURSEMENT Of Rates Granted by
r. r. Company for Jobbing Center.

r. r. Company for Jobbing Center.
The efforts of the Mitchell Conn
mercial club, which have been direct
ed for several years along the line
Of securing recognition of Mitchell
as a jobbing center, have at last been
rewarded by the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railroad company, which
has just given this city a readjust-
ment of rates prevailing into this city
and copies Of the new tariffs have
just been received, and they become
operative April 49, It affects ship
ments on butter, eggs, egg case filters,
furniture, liquors of all kinds, limo
leum, paint, paper, dressed poultry,
seeds, vinegar in car load lots. The
value to be derived from these tariffs
Is not SO much the apparent reuction
from the rates now in effect, but
rather because of the prestige gained
by being classed as a jobbing point,
and this will eliminate the system of
reconsigning freight from some more
favorable point in the state and
thence to Mitchell. On the same date
new distributing tariff will go into
effect on the Milwaukee system as it
refers to Mitchell territory, covering
points south to Platte, east to Marion
Junction, north to Aberdeen and west
to Rapid City. Several wholesale en-
terprises have been unable to start
in Mitchell because of the absence
Of rates which will permit of reaching
the natural territory.

Former Largest Primary Cattle Mar
ket Of World Must Go.
The passing OF Evarts, Tor years re-
Earded as the largest primary cattle
market In the world, is drawing near.
In few days the residents Of that
town, at special election, will decide
whether they shall abandon their
homes and accept proposition from
the railroad which has caused the
present condition Of affairs. 1t will
require two-thirds vote, but it is gen.
orally understood that this will be
forthcoming.
When the Milwaukee railroad decid-
ed to build its Pacific coast extension
1t became necessary to secure a site
for bridge across the Missouri river
in South Dakota. The soil at Evarts
was not suitable and the engineers
had to seek elsewhere. They finally
decided upon Mobridge. where the
bridge was built, and the main line of
the Milwaukee was extended from
Glenham to that town, cutting of Elk
arts completely. Then began an exo-
dus from Evarts. Several buildings
were moved bodily to other towns, but
there are still many residents who re-
manned loyal. Under the law a rail
road cannot abandon track unless
the residents OF the town affected, by
two-thirds vote, authorizes such &C.
ton. The Milwaukee built its track
to Evarts and In the course OF time
the town grew to some proportions.
Although on the frontier, 1t thrived
and became great trading station.
AS the terminus of the Milwaukee it
became cattle market for the vast
ranges west of the Missouri and soon
it leaped to the front as the greatest
of al primary markets.
The Milwaukee railroad, in order to
abandon the track to Evarts, must Sc
cure the consent Of the residents OF
that town to abandon their homes, and
it has offered to give every property
owner lot for lot as they are now stu.
ated, In any other town on the Mil
waukee extension east Of Mobridge or
west of Bowman, N. D., excepting only
two towns in Montana. In addition
the railroad agrees to pay the indebt
edness of the town and its pro rata In
debtedness in the district, cash pay
ment to be made in advance. One year
is allowed the residents to make their
selections. The citizens have appoint
ed committee to carry on the nego
tiations, anticipating favorable action
at the special election.

Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great q change
