SOME MORE
NEW COUNTIES
Movement Started to Cut Two
New Counties Out Of Custer
and Dawson Counties

Miles City Journal That the
question of the division of Custer
county into two or more smaller
counties is one which it will be i'm
possible to escape after the lapse
of a comparatively short time is
impressed on the visitor at the
county court house, because Of the
presence there of representative
from the Carlyle country, Brily
Douglas, who is engaged in compil-
ing from the records the assessed
value of the land and property that
is included in the territory which
the Carlyle people would like to
have included in the new county
which they favor.
The proposition as lined up at
Carlyle suggests the cutting off Of
II townships from the northeast
corner of the present Custer county
and 81 townships from southeast
corner of present Dawson county,
making in all 80 townships, those
of Custer county lying between
range 81 east and the Dakota line
and those in Dawson county lying
between range SO and the Dakota
line.
The residents of Ismay are re-
ported to be figuring out a new
county or two that they would like
to carve out of old Custer, but it
would be of considerable more gen.
erous dimensions-as new coun-
ty-than the Carlyle people ask for,
the Ismay proposal being, it is COM
monty understood, the dissecting
of Custer county completely, from
the Dawson county line to the
Wyoming line, through a point
somewhere between Terry and Is
may.

A TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
A Friend Writes in Memory of the
Late Ben Bridges.

Just as spring has opened in all
her beauty, with green foliage and
blossoming flowers, a shadow steals
across our pathway, and we behold
an angel of death as it silently and
gently bears away the spirit of one
of earth's noblest and best young
men.
1t was on the 18th inst. while on
his way home that Mr.. Ben Bridges
breathed his last. He had been on
visit to his sister in Florida.
Although he had been sufferer
for sometime, and it was known he
couldn't remain here long, it was
hard to give him up. Everything
was done for him that tender hands
and loving hearts could do, but God
so ordained and all is we'll Ben
bore his Affections with patience and
fortitude, never murmuring at the
hand of Providence
We are satisfied he is at rest.
Then why grieve for him. We can
not wish him back to feel and know
the tortures of this earth again, for
he's "asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
from which none ever wake to weep"
I recall with melancholy pleasure the
days we were in school together
Ben always joined in our pleas
ures, and ever held out willing and
ready hand to those in need. But
those days are passed, and he is gone
now. Father, help us say "Thy will
| L L. H,,N 4lNc
influence of his splendid life will live
on and on and ever be beacon light
to guide the footsteps of those he
left behind to that land where all is
peace and joy.
Ben numbered his friends by his
acquaintance, and a host of friends
extend their heartfelt sympathy, but
human sympathy is very weak and
cannot assuage the bitter pangs of
death, so let us look to a higher
power for consolation. Although it
was His will to take away this dear
one still we must know it is ever
beneficently directed towards our
good. His life was as a beautiful
flower that came, budded and bios
somed and then dropped its petals
one by one and swiftly and silently
faded away.
THE Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh. away. Blessed be the name
of the Lord.
FRIEND AND SCHOOLMATE.

THE LONELY MONGOOsE.
Only Two or Three of Them Are Liv-
ing in the Whole Country.


The loneliest living creature in the
United States is the mongoose, says
Raymond l.. Ditmars, curator of rep
tiles at the New York Geological
Park. There are only two or three
of the animals in the country. A
mongoose is a pink-eyed, flexible
shouted little animal, with a shape
like a debuntante. He is chiefly
waist, that is to say. He is partial
to snakes, as a steady diet, or, per-
haps, it might be better to say a
wriggley or unsteady diet. A mon
goose will kill almost any kind of an
ordinary-sized snake. Most of the
constructor family, however, are too
big for him. But he's a bold mite of
furry creature, and will tackle al
most anything in the serpent line.
A mongoose is easily domesticated,
and in many respects is quite as
| pleasing a pet as cat or dog.
The single objection to him is the
fact that if he can't have his snakes
he is only too willing to subsist on
chicken. AS a raider of henroosts
Maryland darkey is a neophyte
compared with a mongoose. That is
the reason there are so few of him
in this country. There is federal
law which absolutely forbids the i'm
portation of mongoose. 1t really is
a pity that this most companionable
of animals has to be barred from the
country. But you simply couldn't
keep chicken in the same neigh
borhood with mongoose safeguard
the henhouse as you might A mon
goose can go in any place he chooses.
If there isn't hole he imagines one
and crawls through it. I'd like to
keep one in the Bronx reptile house,
but l couldn't afford to- He'd dine
on my rarest snakes, despite any
thing l could do to prevent him.

The collection of that part of the

pleasure of every one to literally aid
in raising this fund, but our civic,
county and municipal pride practi-
cally demands that every citizen of
Terrell county do so.
It is understood that at an early
date the monument committee will
confer with the county and munich
pal authorities in Dawson for the
purpose of selecting site for the
monument.
Terrell county cannot afford to be
surpassed in it's donation to this
fund by any other county in the dis
trict To this end your active CO.
operation is solicited. Should the
subscription committee fail to see
you do not wait longer, but send
your subscription to the undersigned
at Dawson, who is the member of
the congressional committee for Ter
rell county. Very respectfully,

While considerable injury has been

MILITIA NEEDS INSTRUCTION.
Should be Given During Peace, says
Col. Weaver,

W. p"
The most urgent work connected with
the organized militia at the present time
is that of instruction and training, in the
opinion Of Col. Weaver. Coast Artillery
Corps, chief OF the Division of Militia
Affairs. whose annual report for the
fiscal year ended June 80 last was made
public yesterday at the War Department.
Concerning the complaints about the
conduct Of the joint maneuvers in Massa-
chusetts last summer. Col. Weaver said:
In connection with these maneuvers
some criticisms have appeared in the
public prints. indicating a measure Of
discomfort resulting from the exgencies
OF the situation. 4 careful examination
Of the conditions do not reveal that there
was anything particularly different from
the hardships incident to all field opera
tons, especially IN view of the fact that
many of the troops were in the field for
the first time
mo serious negligence or shortcoming
in the performance Of duties can be said
TO have occurred on the part of those
connected with the direction or execution
Of supply problems IN connection with the
maneuvers. Undoubtedly the maneuvers
did develop some unforeseen difficulties;
all maneuvers do.
There can be no question. It is thought.
that in some States captains of or
CARNATIONS are tempted to lower the
standard of physical qualifications in
order to promote enlistments. and this
in States where the laws therefor pre-
scribe that the physical qualifications for
enlistment shall be the same as those for
the United States army.
