A NEW DIVISION
Proposition Is Made To Send To The Legsla.
ture. First Plan Is Turned
Down.

Word was received from John
Oliver, the lobbyist sent from
here to boost Swift county, Sun
day stating that in company with
the Ismay and Baker lobbyists
he was in Miles City. He said
that there were % county divis-
ion schemes brought before the
legislature and that the commit
tee on new counties had turned
them all down and had sent the
Custer county people back to
create a bill for a much larger
county and suggested that in
order for them to approve or
recommend the division of Custer
county, they must get together
and consolidate the three divis-
ion schemes into one. AS a re-
suit of this stand taken by the
committee, the local lobbyists
came to Miles and held meet
ing with the Chamber of Com
merce, who were known as the
strongest ocposers to the divis-
ion Of the county. At the meet
ing it was decided to consolidate
the three proposed counties and
present a bill to this effect, which
embrace the eastern half Of Gust
er. In the choice for county
officers, this end of the county
received one commissioner, one
county clerk, treasurer and
county superintendent of schools
We were unable to learn who
landed the sheriff's office but
understand that this was left to
further discussion. On the vote
for temporary county seat, it
was stated that Ekaiaka was the
choice until the special election
in July, when it would be located
permanently by the vote of the
,.oopIa. The lobbyists spent
Tuesday A. Baker and lsmay and
after receiving their views on
the proposition returned to Hell
ena, where they hope to meet
with better success than before.

FARM EXPERIMENTS

Irwin Schults, an Iowa farmer
VINO has settled near Ekalaka as
a homesteader was in the city
Friday looking around, getting
acquainted with the geography
and other features appertaining
to the county seat.
Mr.. Schults is we'll satisfied
with his venturing into the new
ly proclaimed agricultural coun-
try, which Custer county is for
the most part, and as he produc-
ed corn successfully last year,
which we are told was a dry"
year, considers the outlook for
future success and prosperity as
ample reward for his temerity in
making the change and as justi-
flying the favorable literature
that has been printed for the ex-
ploitatlon Of this section.
But he finds that in his treat
ment of the soil and methods of
farming to be pursued he is in
the position of the old Texan
who was suffering from "the
remedies. The said O. T. had
the universal (in that country
aliment of ague, with which he
managed to get along fairly we'll
but instead of letting we'll enough

mother and succeeded only in MAX
ing a tolarable fair wreck out of
himself, and acquiring a host Of
new complaints, while the ''chiIls
and' kept on doing business at
the same old stand.
Mr.. Schults has likewise list
ened to a complexity of suggest
Ions and advice as to how to
farm in this country" and has
made few little experiments on
some of the lines suggested, one
of which was "to plow not more
than two inches deep" but in
the main he adhered to Lessons
inculcated on the Iowa prairies
and in much the larger part of
his operations "plowed Deep"
that is, at least five inches. and

with many fine personal traits,
which, with his progressive spirit
and his broad minded business
policies, made him a factor in
the life cf the community. Frail
in stature he had an iron will,
for had he not possessed one he
would have probably succumbed
to his n1alady months before.
When he entered the political
campa;gn last fall from which he
emelgao successful, he was
mindful Of his serious perdica-
mem, but this did not daunt him
in his fight. He was a sick man
and knew that he must face the
inevitable but he faced the stu
alton cheerfully, some of his en-
innate friends having notso much
as heard him utter a complaint.
Hhi waa a nerve that would en-
dure under ordinary circumstan-
ces, but he could not combat
against death.
He will be missed III the COM
munity. but he will be remem-
bered FOR the good he has done.
Custer county will be all the bet-
ter for him having lived here,
and may this fact lessen to some
little extent the pangs of grief of
his devoted wife, his little ones
and all of the members Of his
family.

The result is the prettiest head that
could be imagined. The effect is that
Of youth The forehead is so conceal
ed that none of its wrinkles show.
This way of treating the forehead
is compatible with the wearing OF a
hat that turns up almost any way. The
hat can be put on over this coiffure,
and it will look chic. But there are
those who want the St. Cecilia fore
head, which is the brow that is as
smooth as white satin. This can be
obtained, but it is at great expense
Of time and endeavor One must
work at it constantly. The materials
fortunately are not expensive.
For the Worried Head.
For this satiny forehead one must
have a strip of white satin two inches
wide and a piece of linen of the same
width. The linen is stretched over the
forehead and the band of satin is
smoothly laid over it. This is worn
night and day and the wrinkles are
pressed out,
There are foreheads which need to

these the strip of linen is dipped in
hot water and tied over the forehead
over this is put a band of flannel. This
is worn over night. In the morning
the skin must be massaged.
"Massaging the forehead with the
finger tips is another way of smooth
ing the brow. There are persons who
like to massage with lard; others pre-
fer unsalted butter. Most people
have their favorite brand of cold
cream. The favored massage of the
present summer is with buttermilk.
The oils are so well taken out Of IL
that it does not make the forehead
greasy, and yet it lubricates the skin
and gives it nourishment

doesn't it?
That's just exactly what Al NJ. Rice.
the subject of this sketch, has done
since he came to Ardmore and EN-
barked in the blacksmith business.
How has he don it-thats the question
that will first dart into the min of the
average person who reads this story.
But the answer is easy. Mr.. Rice is
authority for the statement that dur
ing the eight years that he has been
engaged in business in Ardmore he
has averaged shoeing twenty-five
horses q day and that the average
charge for this work is $1.25. If you
are not satisfied with our computa-
ton, get your think-box to working
and figure it out for yourself-fgures
won't lie.
Al NJ. Rice was born in Mississippi
in the year 1874, which makes him
Just 81 years of age at this writing.
He went to Houston, Texas. nineteen
years ago, where he engaged in the
blacksmithing trade and where he fol
lowed the business, coming to Ard
more eight years ago. Since establish
ing himself in this city he has built
up patronage that has kept himself
and several other men constant
busy.
And during all this time Mr. Rice
has not confined his work entirely TO
that of shoeing horses-not by anv
manner of means. He has equipped
his establishment with all the modern
machinery necessary in the manufac-
ture of wagonsand buggies-enablnC
him to turn out any part of a vehicle
wood or iron-on short notice and
in the most substantial manner. Mr..
Rice has the distinction of having
made all the ice wagons that have
been and are now in use by the Ard
more ice factory. besides most of the
delivery wagons in use in Ardmore.
These wagons compare favorably with
the best wagons made in this country,
and in the matter of durability have
no superior in any other make.
Mr.. Rice's phenomenal success
must. of course, first be attributed to
the superior class of work he turns
out, but back of that he has been a
persistent user of printers ink-and
in a manner that made the horse
owner take a deep interest in the wei
fare of the trusted family horse.

A Brim as the Guide.

Her hat has a brim that accommo-
dates itself to the situation. 1t is
made of flexible straw which can be
slightly bent and holds its shape This
means that it can be flashed up in
front when the forehead is smooth
and fair, and that it can be turned
down when there is frown or a
wrinkle.
The reversible hat is another re
source, but of course these things
are mere makeshifts. The forehead
| should be made pretty 50 that any
kind of hat may be worn. There are
various ways of doing this The
Berndardt method is the most effec
tive.

hair IS dressed, the forehead receives

but it is with a studied abandon. 1t

THE '.WHY" OF THE INSURREC-
TTON.

There is, in more quarters than is
realized, a very hazy notion as to what
the war in Mexico has been about.
There is Of course the general idea
that Mexico is akin to the mercurial
temperament countries of Central and
South America and that because of
this relationship it's people are al
ways ready for an Instruction, pre-
pared at all times to join in a move
ment to overthrow the existing order
and to set up a new government.
Co-existent with this is the idea also
that Mexico has been held as it is for
the past thirty-five years because of
the iron-rule of fPorfirio Diaz, whose
continuance in power for so long a
time has marked him as a master in
control. And without doubt this is a
truth for it has required a master to
control events in that country, and
Diaz has displayed an indOmitable
as he wished. This has been 10Th
his strength and his weakness, for he
had to crush as we'll as to elevate,
and in the process of time. hose who
had felt his heel upon them increased
in numbers, till their augmented
strength gave them the power to
strike. And now that they have

AND AMERICAN
ARBITRATION SCHEME
COMMUNICATIONS ON SUBJECT
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN EN-
CHANGED BY THE TWO Ma
TTONS AT WASHINGTON.

(By Gable to News and Observer
Berlin, May 2O.-Germany has been
approached regarding the American
arbitration scheme, but in what form
or with what result cannot be learned
at the foreign Office. The communi-
cations on this subject must have been
exchanged at Washington, as the
American embassy at Berlin has not
been directly interested.
A representative of the German for
eign office, while admitting that Ger
many had received communications
relative to arbitration with the United
States, declined to make a statement
as to Germany's attitude. There was
no reason to believe, he said, that this
had changed since Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg's speech in the
Reichstag, in which he characterized
disarmament as an ideal which could
not be realized.
In this speech, which was delivered
by the imperial chancellor in the
Reichstag on March so last, the chan
