GUTHRIE, OF, Aug. 2.-The supreme
court has decided that the 80 days resi-

never applicable to probate judges, and
that their jurisdiction was limited to
cases where the applicant had been a
resident of the the territory for two
years or more. AS the people from other
states who fiocked here for divorces
only remain 70 days, this decision rem
ders null and void several hundred

Not France. whose monetary posi-

the first to take advantage, should one
be foolish enough to enter into such an
agreement. America is the only great
country which would really gain by the
agreement. She would try to dispose
of her silver here for gold. But the
mere hint that we would enter into an
international bimetallic agreement
would cause such scramble for gold
that it is very doubtful if any would
be left in the Bank of England by the
time the agreement was signed"

at first thought that two men were

As nearly all the territory about was

the efforts of the firemen to confine it.
Ali the hose companies for miles

The amount destroyed will reach fully
