STIRS UP DIVORCES.
Remarked Canadians May Be Affected

The recent judgment rendered by the
British House of Lords in the Earl Rus
sell divorce case is causing considerable
uneasiness in certain Canadian society
and other circles. Owing to the expense
and difficulty of procuring divorce from
the Dominion Senate, it is well known
that Canadians have in many instances
taken advantage of the United States
divorce courts. This system has result
ed in some Canadians, after a few weeks
residence in American cities, procuring
divorces. and, returning to Canada
The first case following the Russell di-
vOrce decision has already been entered
at Toronto by a man against his wife for
bigamy. The complainant quarreled with
his wife, whom he had married in Toron-

Canadian doctor, was living; that her
first marriage took place in Canada; that
she procured a divorce in Detroit and
was married to her second husband in
Toronto. The final result Of this case
will affect hundreds in Ontario who have
been remarked on the strength Of di-
vorces obtained in the United States.

engineer Killed After Angry NeiGhbor
Prays He May Have Tragic End.
The tragic death of Engineer James b.
Hogan, 3130 Hickory street, st. Louis,
in head-end collision between two Mis-
souri, Pacific freight trains, near New
Haven, No. has thrown the entire neigh
borhood for blocks around into feyerish
excitement, owing to a story that Mrs.
John Shea, an elderly Irish woman, had
called down the wrath of Almighty God
upon the head of the unfortunate engi-
neer, and declared that she would die
happy when she saw his mangled corpse
carried home on a stretcher. 1t is whis-
pered through the neighborhood that an
avenging death befell Engineer Hogan,
IN answer to the invocations of the old
Irish woman that he might come to his
death in terrible calamity. Neighbors
who know both families are stricken with
awe. When Mrs. Shea was asked about
the incident she declared that Hogan
was dead, and before God. where he was
answering for his sins. The old woman
is in the throes of excitement, as if a
full realization of the curses she is said
to have prayed for had just dawned upon
her. About three years ago the Hogan
and Shea families became enbittered ar
each other. Standing in front of the Ho-
gan home, it is said, with uplifted finger.
old Mrs. Shea invoked the wrath and
curses of God upon the head of the Ho-
gan family. It is alleged that this was
repeated upon more than one occasion.
and that excitement for a while ran very
high in the neighborhood.

LOTTERY FOR LAND.
DRAWING AT FL RENO WITNESS.
ED BY 1000 PERSONS.
Names of Those Who Secured Best
Claims - Miss Matte III. BeaI Got
One Worth from $4,000 to o,ooo
One Marriage Costs $4,000.

Oklahoma's great land lottery was sbe-
gun at Ell Reno Monday, and when the
commissioners appointed by the federal
government adjourned the drawing for
the day 1000 of the choicest of the $4,000
160-acre claims in the Kiowa-Comanche
country had been awarded. The first
name drawn from the wheels was that of
Stephen A. Holcomb of Pauls Valley.
/. T., for a homestead in the E. Reno
district, and the second Leonard Lamb of
Augusta, Ok. These men select the two
choicest claims in this district. The cap
ital prize winners, however, proved TO
be James r. Woods of Weatherford, Ok,
whose name was the first TO come from
the Lawton district wheel, and Miss Hat
tie II. Beal of Wichita, Kan, who drew
the second number in that district. They
will have the privilege of making the
first filings in the Lawton district, and
will undoubtedly choose the two quarter
sections adjoining that town. These are
considered the most valuable in the terri
tory, and are, it is estimated, worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.
The day was one of keen excitement,
replete with interesting scenes 1t is es-
timated that 25,G00 persons witnessed the
drawing. The immense throng was
wrought up to the highest pitch. Each
succeeding winner for a time was met
with SHOUTS of applause and merriment.
All was pleasantly. Every man, though
he did not draw prize from the wheels
Monday, had steadfast faith that OF
Tuesday or the next day would surely
see him the possessor of a slip reading
him title clear to 160 acres of Oklahoma
land. Unfortunate ones, instead of be-
wailing their fate, cheered Justify as IA
miliar names were called out from the
commissioners platform.
The crowd fairly exhausted themselves,
and when the close of the drawing for the
day was announced at o'clock hundreds
who had neither eaten nor drank during
the day sank to the ground where they
stood from sheer fatigue or dragged
themselves to better places for rest or to
refreshment booths uptown.
1t was found that many hundred appli-
cants had repeated" and that others
had applications so illegible that they
were thrown out Over this much discord
resulted, and the outcome may be an ap-
peal to the courts.
The drawing had been set for o'clock,
but the transferring Of the bundles OF en-
velopes holding applications from the
general receptacle into the wheels, which
was by lot, was so slow that it was 1850
o'clock before the first name was drawn.
Twenty-Five names were first drawn from
the Ell Reno district, and then an equal
number from the Lawton district.

GREAT WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Total of 725,OOo,OOo Bushels of the
Cereal Is Record Breaker.


Cereal Is a Record Breaker.
To Western farmers who have suffered
great loss from the drought there is
consolation. While their corn crop has
been greatly damaged, the drought pro-
duced conditions which have resulted in
the largest winter wheat crop in the his
tory of the country. To the drought di-
rectIy is this immense wheat crop due
Winter wheat was being harvested when
the drought struck Kansas and Missouri.
And the weather which was so unfavora-
BILE to corn was ideal for the wheat har-
vest
In Kansas, which shows a falling off of
q per cent from last years crop of corn,
the winter wheat will amount to 100,
100000 bushels, by far the greatest crop
in history. And the threshing reports
show it to be better than ever before
There will be 25,000,000 bushels in Okla
homa. Missouri, where the loss to corn
has been greatest, will have 22,000,000
of wheat, and Nebraska, which up to
three years ago never grew winter wheat
at all, shows a return of 100000 bush
els. In Iowa, Nebraska and South Da-
kota, the harvest has been begun. In
Minnesota and North Dakota, where the
great bulk of wheat is grown, the crop
is almost ready to harvest, with every
prospect of equaling the best records.
The winter crop in these States, unless
some disaster overtakes it. will certainly
amount to 425, 100000 bushels, while the
spring wheat crop will be, at a low esti-
mate, 300,000,000 bushels, total of TO-
100000 bushels. When it is remembered
