A Ministers Wife Secures a Divorce
Their Tastes Did Not Agree.
PAssAc, N. j., Nov. s.-No little sur
prise was caused in this city yesterday by
dispatch from Fargo announcing that
Mrs. Rowland, wife Of Rev. Rowland, rec.
tor OF ST. Johns church in this city, had
secured divorce from her husband,
awarding her the custody Of their bright
little 6-year-old daughter and alimony OF
$500 per year. The pastors salary Is
only $3.50. How he can he expected 10
pay the alimony set forth by the court no
one knows. Mrs. Rowland is a daughter
OF Mrs. Henry Of Flushing, n. Y. and
was married TO Rev. Rowland 10 years
ago. She was in no way fitted for
a minister's wife. Her tastes led her 10
parties and balls and gaiety rather than
church work. She steadily drifted away
from her husband. In April, after period
during which she would neither sit at the
table with him nor occupy his room. she
left him altogether. He had refused 10 CO.
operate with her in her determination 10
secure n divorce, but when a Brooklyn
lawyer came here from her and proposed
q separation, he agreed 10 an arrange

BozEMAY, N oy. ST. c. Power was in
the city to-day and the board OF trade
took advantage Of the fact by calling
meeting al the city hall, which Power was
invited to attend for the purpose Of cx-
planning the senate bill on the Fort Ellis
military reservation. Mr.. Power said the
bill proposed giving go acres to the state
for military encampment ground, the
balance to be given 70 the state In lieu Of
other lands given to Il under the enabling
acta nd that il would result in Gallatin
county being placed In an advantageous
position in regard 10 the agricultural col
lege. That institution would mos, prob
ably be located here in consequence, but
the members of the board OF trade in their
remarks advised Mr.. Power that il was
not their desire TO have the reservation
disposed OF in this way, or the lands
would thus come under tho fourth class
lands described in the constitution as
lands which should be cut up in five acre
tracts, one-half of which should not be
sold prior TO 1910.
These lands would thus remain tied up
for an indefinite time TO the detriment Of
the city, and should the bill pass we would
have no assurance Of getting the agricul-
tural college, as its location is decided by
