Sioux Falls as a pleasant, thrifty young
city, easy of access by rail; but it crosses
the line OF propriety i'll the intimation
that fashionable women who sojourn
there ninety days for divorce purpose
find life endurable in the opportunities
for flirting with the men of the place.
This is an imputatiOn upon the male
element, presumably the unmarried por-
ton. that should be resented. Sioux
Falls is sometimes termed young Chi
cago, but purely ina business, not ethical
sense. Celibacy has little favor with
any class there, and divorce among the
resident population is almost unknown.
1t is wanton aspersiOn that 'public
sentiment at Sioux Falls is not against
the breaking up of the marriage rela-
tion." The hurtful incident is that
there have been ''in the last two years
over 800 foreign divorce cases there, "
with 1O3 now pending, at the expense
of the Chicago industry.

1T HURTS CHICAGO.

The Chicago papers are troubled over
the alleged laXity of the legal system in
South Dakota as regards divorce, as illus
trated at Sioux Fails. Chicago has had
wide Tepute at times for its facilities for
lOosing matrimonial bonds. People are
understood to have f1Ocked there to avail
themselves of the rapid and unobtrusiye
methods of emancipation from marital
servitude. The divorce seekers, as a
rule, are understood to be willing to pay
their way handsomely, and, no doubt,
have made life financially brighter for
many people at Chicago. 1t is not re-
membered that this industry excited
much or vehement remonstrance
on the part Of the papers of
the city. Perhaps it was classed
among the contributors to the prosperity
of the city. If it is now being trans
ferred to the Dakota city it is not sur
prising that moral spasms are provoked.
The portrayal by the Tribune is that a
husband or wife in New York or Penn
sylvania who is dissatisfied with the
immediate connubial relation, and with
out valid ground for divorce, sean go
to South Dakota, live there for three
months continuously, file bill making
any charge he or she pleases -omitting
to serve notice on the defendant-do a
little stiff swearing. which the court
does not investigate too closely, and
then leave the state free of his or her
solemn marital compact" That is. of
course, chrOmatic picturing. But a
few days ago the court at Sioux Falls
denied man divorce on the ground
that there was not service on the de-
PENDANT. 1t is denied by the Dakota
authorities that there is any other ex-
ceptional facility for the divorce seeker
from abroad than the shortness of
the residence required for standing
in court. Perhaps the ninety DAYS is
a relic Of the territorial system over
looked. That was the time requisite
for voting. 1t is now put at six months.
The present discrepancy has the ap.
pearance of invitation to divorce
seekers, but was probably not SO in
tended. The causes for divorces, as in
dictated in the statutes, afford no sugges-
ton that advantage was intended to be
taken of Chicago or any other locality
IN obtaining this class of business. If
the residence period were extended
there would be little occasion for the
painful sOlicitude for the good repute of
The Dakota city manifested at Chicago.
The Tribune is quite right III viewing

that it is literally true. They are the Minosin

prosperity of the farmers might be made very

majority located in Minnesota with no other
capital than indomitable courage and deter

actually retired upon the snug little fortunes
they have wrung from the soil. The larger
part of the state has never been titled and
the wealth of the commonwealth would be
multiplied manifold by making these fertile
acres productive. 1t is urged that a compila-
ton of these facts will invite immigration

SOME RANDOM GOSSIP.

I see that strenuous efforts are being made
to have the art department of the Mnneap
oils exposition eclipse, this year, any of the
exhibits of the past. Of course that is all
laudable enough, and is evidence of an in
crease in culture in any community; but did
it never occur to you that as matter of fact,
the poorest place in the world to see works
of art is in an art gallery? In the first place
tastes differ, and one may have the pleasure
to be derived from viewing one work of art
entirely spoiled by the presence of something
Objectionable. Then, too, there are so many
paintings to be accommodated that size and
space are more taken into consideration than
proper lighting and proper effects and last
and worst of all, you will find paintings OF
all kinds and subjects jumbled together in
surprising crazy quilt fashion that is some
times positively shocking to ones nerves For
instance, a beautiful head of the Madonna and
Christ child hangs next to a picture of a
Spanish bull fight; sweet baby's face may
hang right over vivid portrayal of a bloody
battle scene; along side of beautiful piece
of fruit work, whera the luscious products
look tempting almost beyond resistance, you
will be likely to find the picture of decapita-
ton in Morocco or the toasting of mission
airy in the Sandwich Issnds or some such
equally appetzing tid-bit. But for a long
time to come l expect we will have to resort
to the art galleries to see works of art, and
the art galleries. more than that, will con-
tinue to be for some time just the art galleries
of to-day. After awhile art galleries will
either disappear or change so much that the
methods of exhibiting works of art will really
be entirely new; but again, suppose that
when that time comes we shall have found
flaws to pick in the new arrangement and so
it would seem to be going on to the end of
time. The more that the people of this
world are given the more they seem to think
they require.

RANDOM PICKUPS.

Alderman Gehan-One Of the most impor-
tant matters which the council should take
I'D is the question Of insuring all the build
iugs owned by the city. do not say this be-
cause l am in the insurance business, but as
a citizen and member Of the council. The
only buildings of the city insured against fire
are the school buildings and market house.
Now, why should not the city
hail. the fire engine houses, police
stations and city hospital be insured against
fire? 1t is done in other large cities, and
should be done in this. The fire engine
houses are often left empty when the men
are away at a fire. and it would be loss to
the city should any Of them be destroyed
Take the police headquarters or the fire head
o,iarters with all their valuable Geographic
alarm systems-why, if either OF these
should be destroyed it would cost the city as
much to replace as the insurance on all Its
buildings for ten years.
=. I
Acting Mayor Cullen-I think large sum
of money could be saved the city annually
by disseminating the electric lights on the
masts at Bridge square, Seven corners and
Summit park Each light costs IS cents a
night. and, as there are twenty-four lights,
this means $40 per night, or S3066 per
year. The lights are not required, for the
streets in the localities are well lighted by
gas and I cannot understand why these
masthead lights should be retained. I have
for number of years advocated their dis
continuance and hope that something will
be done in the matter.
