Wife of Actor First to Meet New South Dakota Divorce Law. Sioux Kails , S. D. , Dec. 17. Without evident Intent to Increase publicity over her estrangement from her actor husband , Mrs. Paul Gllmore finds her Bolf atlll more prominently before the public than formerly , because of the withholding of her divorce decree by Judge McCoy , of the Fifth Judicial circuit court at Aberdeen. The action of Judge McCoy Is not based upon any opposition on the part of Paul Gllmore , who was present only through an attorney to conform to the jaw. The case is known In the par lance of the divorce colony as a "friendly" divorce proceeding , but the presiding judge awaits the lntorprcla < tlou of the recently adopted divorce law calling for a year's resldeaco. Mrs. Gllmore has been a resident of South Dakota eight months , but her case did not come to trial until after the adoption of the new law , which be came effective as soon as it was ap proved by the people of the state under the action of the referendum. Thus Mrs. Gllmore Is the first to come under the possible restrictions of the new enactment , and as the law was enacted nearly two years ago and lias simply been In abeyance under the operation of the referendum , the question has arisen whether the law does not apply to residence since the time of its enactment. It is possible tlmt Mrs. Gilmore may bo obliged to remain another four months before oho secures the coveted document. New Year's Gift for Two Towns.

" A Northwestern extension north from Midland , S. D. , on the Pierre-Rapid City line , through heslie , S. D. , to tap the Indian country in the northwest part of South Dakota , was confidently predicted In Norfolk this morning by Edward h. Senn of Oacoma , S. D. , In a private conversation. Tills exten sion north from Midland , Mr. Scnn said , would in time bo part of a direct line from the northwest part of South Dakota when the 13ouesteel line was built on from Dallas to Midland. The reason the north part of the line waste to bo built this spring was to let the Northwestern get within reach of the Cheyenne and Standing Bear reserva tions , where the big land drawing is expected to take place next year. Mr. Senn did not know when the road would extend from Dallas to Midland hut thought that a small extension might come within a year or two pos sibly In order to prevent the Milwau kee from taking Rosebud trade across the river. About sixty days ago the survey was started for the Midland- hesllo extension and Is being con- ( tinned. Pierre Is just now the North- ( western's nearest point to the north west Indian reservation. Mr. Senn. who was in Norfolk on his way back to the Black Hills from Fairfax , S. D. , owns a long chain ofyeekly news papers In western South Dakota In the now country. Ho Is also a Trlpp land winner , having drawn No. 330. Boche Case In February.

Don't go to law , unless you're a lawyer or have a special ability for pro\arlcatlon ; because you have Jimt got to know what to do when you got there. Ordiiriry common every day cltlxens who don't exactly understand the meanings of the words plaintiff and defendant will lie money ahead by leaving law alone. Anyhow houls Ottmor , a shoemaker , who Tuesday swore out a warrant for the arrest of Charlie hlermau on a charge of assault and battery , Is do cldodly of that opinion. It appears that hicrman , abjectlnj , to a somewhat lurid description o : himself and characitcr exploited ii public by Mr. Ottmer , retaliated bj knocking that worthy gentlemai down. Ottmer got hack with a arrant charging him with vicious and un provoked assault. Hearing was postponed yesterdaj in order that hiermnn , who Is a car penter by profession should not b ( forced to loose any time. It was not until 7 o'clock last night that the case came up for trial. After a short hearing Justice C. F. Elseley , decld ing that it was just about "six of one and half a dozen of the other , " rend ered justice with a division of the costs , and imposed fines on both plain , tiff and defendant. hiorman's line was ? 5 for assault Ottmer's $3 for provocation. As the costs ran up to something over $1-1 apiece , Ottmer Is sadly wish ing that he had let the matter drop and his present sentiments on law in general are scarcely printable. Battle Creek News.

Gathering Walking Sticks Is U. D. Mathews' Fad Has Forty-Five. Madison Chronicle : Nearly every one has a fad , though some scarcely realize it. U. D. Mathews of this city Is no exception to the rule. His fad Is I canes , walking sticks , and he has them I until you can't rest. His collection , l which numbers about forty-flvo , and Is l added to he r constantly being , AS chances to run across desirable sped- monts , is well worth anyone's Inspocj tlnn. He values thorn highly , not In some cases would be a respeetablo amount , but In some cases because they are odd , In others because they come from Interesting parts of the world , and In still others because of his associations with the parties from whom he obtained them , and in a number of cases for nil three or four of these reasons , Mr. Mathews thinks that when his collection has reached fifty In number he will stop collecting , but he probably little realizes the hold the habit has on him , and wo look for him to be a more enthusiastic cane collector when his collection has reached 100 than ho la now , and wo are not the ones to blame him for It If he Is.
