MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
THE DIVORCE Law.

-. i - / ~
Important Railing BY the Suprsnas Cesrs
Of Minnssots Regarding Il.
"A decree Of separation from bed and
board forever, made BY virtue Of tho
Minnesota Law, which IL still in force,
does not allow second action for an
absolute divorce being maintained upon
tho statutory grounds Of habitual
drunkenness. Such is the judgment
rendered by the Supreme Court Of Min
nesota recently in the famous divorce
case of Jennie e. Evans, appel
liant, vs. James G. Evans, respondent.
The case came up on appeal from the
circuit court Of Ramsey County. The
lower court found Is . fact that Evans
had been guilty Of habitual drunk
enness for the space of ono
year Immediately preceding the
Hing Of the complaint, but re-
fused the relief demanded in the COM
plant because of the existence Of tho
divorce from bed and board which had
been obtained four years previous To
hold that divorce from the bonds can
not be adjudged 50 long as decree Of
separation Is in force would lead to
tho most surprising results. It would
confer upon the wife the power to OBJ
tain . perpetual decree from bed and
board from IN offending husband and
thereafter to openly give cause for , d.
vorce vinculo, while the husband re-
mains without remedy or relief. The
judgment IL reversed and the case re-
manded with instructions that decree
Of absolute divorce be entered and de-
manded in the complaint " 49,.

Restgus-Premier Tirard Also Wanted
to Quit, but President Cxrnot Wouldn't
Agree to 1t.
PARIS, March 3.-M. Constans, Minis
ter Of the Interior, has resigned. M.
Constants resignation was the result Of
personal disagreement with M. IT,
rard, the Prime Minister, at the Minis
terial council. 1t is as yet unknown
whether his decision to surrender his
portfolio is final.
Deputy Bourgeois will succeed NJ.
Constans as Minister of the Interior.
Premier Tirard rendered his resigna-
ton, but President Carnot refused to
accept it. The press is unanimous in
the opinion that the Cabinet is weak
ened by the resignation of Minister
Constans and that his leaving heralds
it's downfall. NJ. Bourgeois, the sue
cessor of NJ. constants, is an advanced
radical. As condition of his accept
snce he makes special stipulations re-

Icy Swept by the Unloosed Waters oG
the Walnut Grove Dam.
PHOENIX, A. T., March s.-True re-
ports from Walnut Grove dam show
conclusively that the work Of construc-
ton was very faulty. The company's

taken six miles on the rushing

steel boiler used at the lower dam was
found thirty miles below, crushed like
y stove-pipe. There are no traces to be
seen of either of the dams. The town
of Seymour is wiped out; not one stone
stands to mark its site. Since the food
q number of nuggets of gold have been
found down the canyon. A piece Of
iron four inches square and thirty
inches long, used. to anchor the
tower at the upper dam, was picked up
forty miles below. For a distance Of
thirty-1ive miles the canyon is strewn
with bedding, dead horses, cattle and
hogs, broken wagons, and, in fact
every thing used by the settlers in the
valley. Hundreds of men are search
ing for and burying the dead and secur-
ing the living. 1t is said the dam will
not be rebuilt.
