A good deal OF attention has been attracted
in the South to the verdict recently rendered
by n Coronar's jury in Arkansas in the case OF
Jury found that the deceased had been frozen
10 death" II is satisfactory 10 note that this
mockery OF justice has been alphabetically de-
nounced even in those parts OF the country
where lvnch law is supposed to be most power
full and prevalent. Thus we find the atlanta
Journal saying: The jury tried to be smart,
but the man who is brutal enough to make a
Jest of a matter like that which excited the
nirth OF this Arkansas jury would hardly hest
tate TO shoot or swing up a human being Just
to see him Jump. Nothing shows a coarse and
low nature more conclusively than an at

move all rixht minds and all true hearts to
horror and Indignation" The utterance Of
such sentim ents:in the South Is one OF the most

A letter from South Dakota says that the d.
vorce industry in that state 10 by no means
on the wane. but is rather growing larger on
accolnt OF the increased strinQency OF the
divorce laws OF North Dakota. The writer
mentions eight towns in which there are What
no calls divorce colonies. consisting chiefly of
sojournerS from the Fast. who are living there
in order to gain a residence which will enable
them to prosecute divorce suits against their
absent spouses. He adds. however, that tho
judges now require much stronger proof on the
question OF residence than they did formerly
and donot grant divorces 90 readily as they did
in the past.

South Dakota affords rich picking for
the insurance companies. The fire In
surance companies doing business in the
State pulled out last year $4,846,6l6 in
and paid back in losses only
$1,747,S49. 1t would be interesting to
know something OF the amount that
went out Of the state In the life COM
panies also. The total is enormous
startling in fact. There is plenty Of
room and good field in South Dakota
for mutual companies companies which
keep the money within the borders Of
the stata--and we don't know Of IA better
field than among the newspapers. We
would like to see the figures for the fire
insurance Of the newspapers Of South
Dakota for the past ten years, the amount
paid out to the old line companies and
the amount received from fire losses. II
would be enough to set a wise man to
thinking. Most country newspaper pub
fishers are blamed poor business men
and it is likely il the FIRE insurance com
panies did not fleece them, some one else
would.
