NEW YORK-New York's millions will have to pay high record prices for their milk after Monday next. To- day it was announced that the price will be raised from to g cents quart.
 The reason advanced is that feed is so high that the farmers demands have put up wholesale rates to point where the dealers cannot sell at the old price and make a profit. The advance will add tens of thous- ands Of dollars to the citys milk bill.

Stock Growers News.
Late Thursday afternoon quite
a strong wind sprung up from the
northwest and things looked por-
tentuous for a bad blizzard. For
tunatcIy no snow fell. In other
parts of the state and in other
states they had a severe blizzard
which is said to have put the one
of 1888 in the shade. All wires
were cut down and railroad traffic
was practically suspended for
two days following. Moral: stay
in Stanley county. Western Star
J. ID. Hull, one of Stanley coun-
tvs supervisors, suggests that in
many instances where roads cross
small draws there could be dams
built, instead of bridges, which
could furnish water for public use
and by building them high and
wide they would make the
road even better than if a
bridge were put in. There is a
chance to do some good work a.
long this line. and there is always
use for a good lot Of water along
the public highways. Stock

The Reservation Opening

Allotting Agent Deets was in
the city the first of the week and
informed us that his department
was getting the allotting work we'll
toward completion on that part of
the Cheyenne reservation which is
to be opened to settlement next
fall. He stated that the drawing
would take place about October
10, next, an there will be about
100000 acres of the land thrown
open to settlement, this being the
largest piece of good land in the
United States which is yet to be
thrown open to settlement.
There is every indication that
there will be at least two lines of
railroad built into this country
during the coming summer, one
of them by the Northwestern road,
from the line which runs through
this city, but where it will leave
the main line is matter that is as
yet not made public.
Pierre will undoubtedly be made
one of the registration points anc
there is no reason to believe that
there will be more registrations
made there than at any Other
point. 1t is likely that the dra%
ing will be the means of bringing
fifty thousand people to Pierre

Official Changes at the Pierre
Land Office

ID. W. March, of Pierre, has
been nominated by President
Roosevelt as Receiver of the L. S.
Land Office, at Pierre. Mr..
March is eminently we'll fitted in
every way to perform the duties
of that office in a creditable man
ner. He is thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the land laws and land
office practice, and understands
conditions with regard to all of
the land within the Pierre district
perfectly.
A short time ago the nomina-
tion of j. l.. Lockhart for Regis
ter of the Pierre land office was
confirmed by the senate. As soon
as his official bond is approved,
his commission will be issued, and
he will likely assume the duties of
his Office about the fifteenth of
this month. 1t will probably be
the fifteenth of March before the
new receiver is installed.
All this means that there is to
be brand new administration of
affairs in the Pierre land office.
The Old familiar faces are to dis
appear from behind the counter
and new ones are to look out at
the public. During the eight
years that Mr.. Wheelon has been
register and Mr.. Cutting receiver
the affairs of the office have been
most creditably conducted. They
retire merely on account of the
we'll grounded belief in political
affairs that two terms is enough
for man. Both are efficient pub
lie servants. and both have made
hundreds of friends during their
terms in office.

F. {. Morrison County Commits
SiOner

W hen the board of county COM
mlssioners met at their regular
session in January five candidates,
all claiming to be regularly elected,
and properly qualified, presented
themselves for the four vacancies
on the board. Finally the contest
dwindled down to a squabblc as to
who should represent the Philip
district Mr.. Mathieson Of Fort
Pierre and f. +. Morrison of
Philip both lay claim to the office
on grounds that we have discussed
at length in former issues of the
News
1t was agreed that the contro-
vcrsy should be submitted to the
circuit court, and both contestants
retained counsel. An examination
of the law and decisions that have
been handed down in other states
brought everyone to the conclusion
that The contest could have but a
single outcome.
Whatever irregularities may
have occurred in Morrison's NOM
lnation and election, in no event
could Mathieson, residing outside
the Philip district, successfully
lay claim to the office. The pro-
vision that commissioner must
be elected from the district he
represents seems unqualified.
As result no action was
brought or appeal taken. The
commissioners have decided to
recognize Mathieson and admit
him to membership on the board.
This action is likely final. Mr..
Morrison will represent this dis
trict for four years, and we con-
tidentIy expect him to make a
creditable record for himself.

In a certain village church the
congregation had been greatly dis
turbed during the singing Of the
hymns by a certain set of women
who would persistent|y gossip in
a loud voice. At last the minis
ter devised plan to stop the dis
turbance. At given signal by
him everyone in the choir was to
stop singing abruptly. So during
the singing of a hymn he gave
the signal, at this time everyone
stopped singing. One of the Of
tenders, who was unable to check
herself, was heard to say in a
loud tone, Il fry mine in lard"
As we now know, said the minis
ter, that she always fries hers in
lard, we will proceed with the
singing. And there was silence
after that.-Ex.

Circuit Court Comes to a Close

The January term of circuit
court for this county, after
dragging on wearily for a session
of over four weeks came to the
end of its labors yesterday. The
jury was discharged as early as
last Friday noon, but after that
there were a number of cases to
be tried to the court, among these
several tax matters and other ques-
tions connected with the regular
administration of the county S
business.
All together nearly seventy five
cases were disposed of at this
term, making il record breaker
for the amount of business trans
acted. The large calendar was due
to several causes. The legal bust
ness of the county is steadily in
creasing, and besides this large
part of the last July term was
taken in trying the Bowen murder
case, so that many civil matters
then pending were crowded over
to this term. The murder case has
been transferred to Hand county
on a change of venue, and will be
tried there early in the spring,
possibly at special term. So far
, as the calendar in this county is
concerned. it was practically
cleaned up, and attorneys and
court officials can now take a
fresh start.

CHICAGO. March 2s.-Mrs.
Gizella Schwartz, who told on the
stan that she had to sleep in the
dog kennel with the pup. and
hadn't been kissed or given flow
ers by her hubby in their II years
of married life. got more than a
divorce decree from the jury.
They gave her q dinner-those
IL good men and true did. Also a
huge bouquet of roses-her first
in IL years.
Mrs. Schwark's story and its
sequel. both without parallel in
Chicago divorce records, were
both affecting. Mrs. Schwartz
cried on both occasions, but from
different causes. The jurors were
almost as deeply moved.
The fair plaintiff. said that she
didn't pick the dog kennel as q
boudoir from choice. Her husband
was chasing her with knife, she
said, and the kennel was the only
opening she could see.
The husband denied the kennel
incident, and had the dog house
brought into court to prove that 1t
was too small to be used as bed
room. The wife's attorney meas
ured the door, and had q court
stenographer go over MRS.
Schwartz with a tape measure. The
jury was convinced.
The Jury was composed entirely
of married men, and they felt
that mere divorce wasn't enough
to compensate the plaintiff for
her II loveless years. After bring
ing In the verdict the foreman
passed the hat, and arranged for
the banquet. Each Of the IL
toasted the newly made grass
widow.
"You never had wedding
breakfast" said one Of the jurors,
glass In hand. "We'll call this
your divorce dinner"
