Grand Forks Herald: The de-
cision of the supreme court in the
Graham divorce case in Fargo
is likely to cause some uneasiness
in certain circles. A divorce was
denied the plaintiff, although she
had acquired ninety days. resi-
dence under the old law, on the
ground that her residence was not
bona fde, that she lived in the
state merely for the purp ose Of
procuring a divorce, and that she
did not intend to remain here.
The decision is sustained. The
intent manifest on the face of the
old law, whatever may have been
the actual intent of it's trainers,
was that the divorce courts OF
North Dakota should be open
only to persons who were actual
residents of the state in good faith,
and who did not intead to leave
Immediately after the divorce had
been granted. In practice the
law worked just ths other way.
Persons came here for the sole
purpose of securing divorces, and
numerous cases are on record
where persons who are really
residents of other states remained
here the necessary ninety days,
making sort of vacation trip of
the three months, secured divorces
remarked at once, and left the
state forever before the ink on the
decree had more than time to dry.
According to the Graham decision
these divorces were Improperly
granted, and these marriages were
illegal, or, at least, would have
been SO had appeals been taken in
time. Whether cases of ancient
date could be reopened is ques-
ton for lawyers to settle. If they
could there would be very SEN
sational adjustment Of the family
relations of some prominent east.
ern people. The entire history OF
the divorce business, here and
elsewhere, points to the necessity
of uniform laws on the subject Of
marriage and divorce.

Two strange white men, one of

from Georgetown near the State

1t Was not long before they be-

Southern white women SO vehe,
mently that they were ordered
away. Instead of obeying they
grew worse when Warren theat.
ened their arrest, and proceeded
to Georgetwon for that purpose.
Ono of them thereupon threatened
warren LIE and proceeded to
follow him. Warren kept out of
the way, however, and upon ap-
preaching Georgetown organized
a posse of four armed men and
proceeded to return.
Upon reaching creek two
niles away, the strange man arose
from ambush and presented his
rifle, when he was Immediately
fred upon by the posse and in
stantly killed.
The dead body was brought to
Georgetown, where jury was
impaneled, who pronounced the
killing justifable homicide.

Bad butter is frequently caused
by keeping the cream from one
milking too long while saving it
for the next oburning, as is some
times done when only one or two

cream should never be cburned
together. The sooner the cream
is churned after it is separated
from the milk the better.

Both Magistrates Removed.
The State, Aug. 30th.

The State, Aug. 3oth.
Last night Gov. McSweeney
after reading the solicitors re-
port and the accompanying saidsv-
its carefully, decided to remove
both the magistrates-Ray at Den>
mark and Kennedy at Govan Ho
forwarded to each of them the fol-
lowing letter:
Columbia, Aug. 90, 1899.
Dear Sir: From official infor-
nation received by me l am salts
fed Of your official misconduct In
the matter of extradition Of G.
w. M. Williams, and your com>
mission as magistrate is hereby
revoked, to take effect from this
date. You will turn over ell
books and papers in your poses
sion belonging to your Office to
your successor when he shall call
on you for the same.
Yours truly,
M. B. McSweeney,
Governor Of South Carolina.
The governor filed with tho pa
pers the following written state
ment OF the reasons for his action:
In view Of the report of Solici-
tor Sawyer and the statement
therein contained and the evidence
furnished by the sffida,i.s &C,
companying the report in regard
to the action of Magistrates S. G.
Ray and w. l.. Kennedy appears
that said magistrates, instead of
endeavoring to assist the agent of
Georgia in his efforts to arrest &.
w. M. Williams, a fugitive from
justice in that state, and for whom
the said agent had requisition pa
pers from the governor of South
Carolina, made in due form of
law, the magistrates, ss it appears
from the report of Solicitor Saw
yer, assisted the said Williams to
escape arrest, and thus the ends
OF justice have been thwai ted.
Such being tho facts in the case, l
do not consider those magistrates
worthy TO hold the high and re-
sponsible position of magistrate,
and they are hereby removed from
their Office, said removal to take
effect from this date.

the Trustees, will not return the desired
affirmative vote without more expert
knowledge and advice upon the subjects
to be submitted than the board has
seen fit to give. them to this date. The
demand and this demand is everyday
expression in all quarters of the city,
is that other engineering skill and ad-
vice shall be brought to the aid of the
city than it now has officially, to deter
mine what is advisable and feasible.
When that is secured and made
known, and the system settled upon
published, the confidence of the people
will be reposed in the report, and then
and not until then will the voters re-
spond affirmatively. But there must
go with even this advice, the unequiy-
ocal proposition that a sufficient sum
shall be borrowed to give US clear
water supply, or to exhaust all reason
able endeavor to secure it.
The Record Union" warns the Board
Of Trustees that it will make best and
most haste in this matter by taking
more time, calling into counsel more wis
dom and experience than they have
awaited Of to this date upon all these
subjects. save only that concerning a
High School building, the plans for
which are known and have public ap-
prevail. But upon all else there is a
murkiness that will not be dispelled at
the ballot box, and over it all there is
the shadow of the refusal to include a
clear water proposition. If that refusal
is persisted in, we predict that the prop
ositions of the board will go out upon
the electoral sea without rudder or
compass and will be hopelessly wrecked
upon the rocks of public indignation.
1t must be understood and kept clear
ly in mind, that what the voters de-
mand, what we distinctly understand
them to insist upon, is not that any
particular scheme for a clear water sup
ply shall be now submitted, since that
cannot be involved in a bond election,
but simply that they shall be trusted to
vote upon the proposition to borrow
sufficient money to secure some clear
water system. AS to what it shall be,
driven wells, mountain supply, or filtra-
ton Of river water, is a question for
after determination.

A GREAT TELESCOPE.

The day Of the big telescopes has not
passed. A few years ago it was decided
that no greater instrument than the
Lick telescope could be constructed be-
cause no perfect lens of sufficient size
could be cast and ground. But that in
strument has been surpassed twice al
ready. When the Paris exposition
scheme was preached, one of the first
propositions was to build telescope
larger than any in the world, one Ito
bring the moon within one meter of the
EARTH" as Figaro" facetiously put it.
The prospects of the scheme were poor
for a long time.
The plan was to have a ten-foot mir
ror and finally one factory firm under
took to produce it. They We're, how
ever, very much discouraged by repeat
ed failures. Out of twelve disks each
weighing 10000 pounds, eleven proved
defective. Then a four-foot object glass
had to be produced. That has now
been done and the polishing of it is
nearly complete. Thus the most serious
difficulties have been surmounted, and
in all probability the zone meter moon"
telescope will be a reality despite the
fun made of the scheme.
1t certainly will, when ready, bring
the moon within a few miles of u.s."
SO to speak. Objects as large as an ele-
plant will be very distinctly seen upon
1rfa af h.
the statement of the leading astrono-
mer engaged in the work There are to
be two object glasses, each four feet,
they being five inches greater in dame
ter than any other The utmost focal
distance will be obtained for the first
time in astronomical history, and that is
considered the chief triumph I'M the new
instrument The Yerkes telescope is a
steel tube sixty-five feet long, that Of
Paris will be 1876 feet long.
1t will lie fiat upon the EARTH as It's
weight will be too great for mounting
and movement. Thus, instead of being
moved to sweep the heavens in search,
the image of the planets and stars will
be caught in the seven-foot mirror and
reflected into the object glass in front
Of it. The difficulty with stationary
telescopes has been the apparent mo-
ton of the stars making accurate cal
culations impossible. But in this case
the micrometer with the eye piece will
have rotary motion to preserve the
images in their apparent places, while
the great seven foot mirror, by clock
work devices. will keep up with the ro-
tation of the earth.
The glass and it's frames will weigh
10000 pounds, and that it may be per-
fectly stable it will float in a bath of
mercury. If all calculations come out
as now cast, the new telescope will
give us, according to NJ. vandevyver of
Brussels clear sight of evolutions of
fleets and army corps on the surface
of the moon"-but alas, we know al
ready that there are neither ships nor
armies on SO much of the surface of
the moon as earthly denizens are per-
mitted to view.
