About year ago friends of ]. w. Arc
lander and family noticed that the domestic
relations of Mr.. and Mrs. Arctander were not
as harmonious as they might be, and by some
considerable wonder was expressed, as no
one ever knew of any unpleasant features in
connection with the family. Some months
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Arctander separated, and
since then have not been under the same
roof for any great length of time. This was
unknown except TO q few, VINO began to
Whisper of peculiar actions on the part of
Mr.. Arctander, and predicted that the cloud
would soon burst and scatter CONSERVATION.
These predictions were verified sooner than
was antlci patel, but as great effort was
made TO Keep the matter quiet there are but
few VINO know OF the rather sensational end
ing.
Last Saturday afternoon, after the special
term al the district court was ended a party
consisting OF MIR. and Mrs. Arctauder and
Mrs. Arctander's attorneys, Messrs. Snyder
and Jam son, and few Others entered Judge
Rea S private Office, and there the divorce
case OF Jennie Arctander vs. }. w. Arctander
was heard The charge preferred by Mrs.
| Arctander was adultery. She stated that
about one year ago her suspicious were
| aroused that MIR. Arctander WAS unfaithful
| to MS marriage vows, and charged him with it,
| He thereupon confessed to her that he had
| teen guilty OF adultery with one Miss Jones,
| whom he had taken to st. Paul and passed off
as his wife. As witness for Mrs Arctan-
| der, Mrs. Howard, of St. Paul. was put on
the stand. Sac swore that at the
time mentioned Mr.. Arctander came
10 her house in company with
Miss Jones. whom he introduced as his wife
They remained at her place some days, oc-
Copying the same room while there TO the
charge Mr.. Arctander made no opposition
and merely appeared in regard to settling
upon the alimouy. Judge Rea, after bearing
the case, granted a complete divorce, giving
Mrs. Arctander the custody of the three
| children. in settling upon the alimony il
was decided that Mr. Arctander should pay
Mrs. Arctander $500 down and $50 on the first
| of each month.
Mir. Aretander is a we'll known attorney Of
this city, and is 81 years of age. He married
! the woman who just secured divorce from
] him in this city some twelve Years
ago. Three children, two girls and one
BOY, came to bless them. These
| children are now away at Catholic convent
| i'll St Paul, or were short time ago. Mrs.
| Alexander is handsome woman. 80 years of
age, and is in all respects a lady of refine
/ ment and intelligence. For some months
| past Mr.. Arctander has been regular atten-
dant at Father McGolvick's church on Third
street, and has at several times made applica-
| ton for membership. All three childree
| have joined the Catholic church. 1t is gen.
| orally undeIStoo that the reason why Mr.
| Alexander has not been allowed to Join the
| church is because he was divorced from his
| first wife in the old country The Catholic
| church does not recognize divorces. and for
that reason no divorced person can become a
