up the evidence against them, and it

1t is reported that the United States
department of agriculture is actively
engaged in originating an orange that
will bear a greater degree of frost than
any now grown. At first sight this
feat might appear difficult to accom-
plish, but when we remember that we
have apples that will not stand severe
climatic conditions, and that apples
have been produced that will stand
such conditions, we see that there is
hope. To illustrate: The best apples
OF the eastern states, such as the Bald
win, will not grow at all in some
western states. 1t has taken years to
develop apples like the Wealthy that
will stand. We might also mention the
Ben Davis, which grows abundantly all
over the west and resists all kinds of
hard conditions. So the government
may succeed in its undertaking.

HOME TALENT ALONE
To BE Employed in the Collection of
Delinquent Taxes.

The supreme court has handed down
an especially important and interesting
decision in the case Of Storey VS.. the

making Of collections of delinquent

upon the power of the commissioners

IN NORTH DAKOTA
DIVORCES ON ANXIOUS SEAT.
Graduates of the North Dakota Col
Ony Uncomfortable.

Graduates of the North Dakota Col
Ony Uncomfortable.
That the telegraphed report of the
recent North Dakota supreme court
decision on the divorce law has been
read by many graduates from the col
ony is evident from the kilograms of in
quiry that are pouring into the state
asking for verification of the deci-
sion. Many who have protited by the
easy laws of the state are decidedly on
the anxious seat. The decision is re-
ly invalidate 80 per cent of the DEGREES
granted within thelast ten years, pro-
viding the defendants in any Of them
wish to appeal. This is regarded as
especially true Of the cases in which NO
appearances have been made. and
which have been regarded as weak by
the courts of the Eastern states.
The construction Of the word ''resl-
dent to mean "domici" is a settler.
If that decision had been made five
years ago there would never have
been any necessity of amending the dl-
vorce law to require twelve-months'
residence. The Fasteners would have
reformed the law themselves, or else
there would have been a large number
Of real estate transfers to be recorded.
For years the applicants for DEGREES
merely stopped at the hotels, making
the best effort possible to pass away
the ninety days. Many would take the
next train out Of town after the de-
crees We're signed, and no real effort
was even made to make a bluff at es-
tabliShing a residence.
There are two cases-those of Corpo-
ration Counsel De Witt Of Brooklyn.
and Lillian Blauyelt, the opera star-
in which it is alleged neither even
spent two weeks in the state from the
beginning to the end of their eases.
One or two days at the beginning ana
shorter period Mt the wind-up were
all. Miss Blauvelt even went farther
than DE Witt, as she spent the time i'll
which she was supposed to be residing
here in touring Europe.
Mrs. Graham, whose appeal was the
cause of the decision. is a large. stout
lady, who came to Wahpeton Nov. 9,
1898. She is the daughter Of Charles
G. Campbell of Morristown. n. j.. anu
is said to be an heiress to $5DO,O0O.
Her husband was at one time Il broker
and steamship agent at Newark They
lived together five years. and after he
failed in business he left for Denver,
in 1896, to establish fortune there.
He failed to connect with the tickle
goddess, and Mrs. Graham refused to
recognize him any more. She charged
willful neglect and non-support. The
decree was contested on the ground
that she had not established a bona
Ode residence, and Judge Lauder and
the supreme court seem to- have all
been fully convinced by the proof adj
1uced. In her testimony as to her
means of support she claimed to be
giving music lessons. On cross-exam-
nation it developed that she had one
pupil at % cents per lesson, and that
no effort to collect that had been made.
She is still in Fargo, and, it is said,
will institute new SHIT
