DIVORCES ARE NOW INVALID.
Supreme Court Decision as to Dakota Cases
Causes Much Anxiety.

Fargo, S. D. (SpeciaD AS result
OF the U. S. Supreme Court decision
declaring invalid divorces granted in
this State in which residence was not
bona fide, there came a flood of tele-
grams from those likely to be affected.
1t is believed that, owing to the prac-
tice OF rushing home Immediately after
DEGREES were granted, less than 10 per
cent. OF the divorces allowed during
the recent divorce period would be
found valid il contested.
But OF those secured large percent
age were agreed cases, where appear
ance was made by both parties. Com
paratively few had bitter contests, and
only in those can the question OF resi-
dence be raised. Many OF the latter
class, however, included distinguished
Fasteners and foreigners. A majority
OF these have remarked, and the deci-
sion OF the court not only affects their
present status, but the Legitimacy OF
many children born subsequently to sec
ond marriage. This makes the courts
finding far reaching and creates great
anxiety

Firing at River Steamer.

p. m. the river is al feet 4 inches. This
stage shuts Wheeling entirely out of out

stroyed 100000 brick at the Belmont
Brick Company, entailing a loss of $2o,-

at other plants. aggregatng probably
$4,000. Taking the loss of business, rail

The highest point reached at Davis
Island dam was 2sS feet at 3 a. m,
which means 2S feet at the junction of
the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers.
The water remained stationary until
about 3 p. m, when It began to fall
Conservative estimates OF the total
loss in this district is between $2.ooo,ooo
and $4,000, 600.
Fifty thousand workers are suffering
from enforced idleness.
While there have been greater floods
at this point. there was never one that
caused so much financial loss and dis
comfort. This was due to the denser
population caused by the recent rapid
growth OF the two cities. and to the fact
that all the manufacturing plants on the
river banks were in active operation,
most OF them working night and day,
until the rising water put out the fires
and drove the workers to higher
ground.
The damage to the furniture and
buildings in Allegheny is estimated at
about Sfooooo. 1t will take two months
OF hot summer weather to thoroughly
dry out these houses. In Pittsburg the
loss to residences, stores and goods and
the cost OF cleaning up will amount to
about S25oooo.
AT Carnegie borough. six miles from
Pittsburg, the loss is estimated at S4o-
600. OF which the Columbia Bridge
Works lose 5000. The other losses
range from SIS to 5000. The Westing-
house Electric Company had two car
loads OF finished material for Toronto,
Canada, on the tracks near Turtle
Creek. They were caught in the flood,
and water got into the cars. The loss
may reach $4,000.

Portageville Mo. (SpcciaD Follow
ing a dramatic scene in the village
graveyard here, where a dozen men
gathered at midnight and dug up a
coffin found to contain only some old
rags, three prominent residents OF this
place have been arrested. charged with
attempting to perpetrate an insurance
fraud.
The accused men are A. T. Smock a
druggist; DR.. Harry H. O'Kclley and
John Adams. They had taken a lively
interest in Thomas Reid a stranger who
came to this hamlet few months ago.
and soon joined the Modern Woodmen
OF America, a beneficiary order. Reid
presently took out a policy for $1,000 in
the order, naming a cousin. Francis
Marion Reed, as beneficiary He dis
appeared in a few weeks and his alleged
death was announced by Adams soon
aiterward
Murray Phillips, Jr.. prosecuting at
torney OF New Madrid county, makes
his principal charge against Smock and
O'kelley, and holds Adams for COM
plicity A further charge against Adams
has Just been made it being alleged
that last week he fired two shots into
the homes OF George McFadden and
David Fischer two farmers living near
the graveyard
Little else has been talked about here
than the sudden appearance OF Reid, his
election to the Modern Woodmen the
issuance OF the largest policy the order
grants to any member his subsequent
disappearance. and reports that he was
seriously Ill with pneumonia at a hunt
ers camp nearby.
Adams announced on April s that
Reid was dead. Smock bought a coffin,
which was charged to the Woodmen,
and several members OF the order then
suggested that they attend the funeral
as mark OF respect for the new mem
Der who had been taken from them so
suddenly.
The strange facts surrounding Reid's
insurance and the burial late at night
led several men living near the grave
yard to make an investigation. Nc
Fadden. convinced that the affair was
no ordinary one. led a little band OF
farmers to the graveyard at midnight
on Monday. Some began to frown on
the undertaking, but McFadden was
not discouraged Taking a shovel he
began to throw back the earth over the
grave.
When McFadden had penetrated to
the lid OF the coffin several tried to dis
suade him from further investigation
But he continued his work presently
lifting the cover from the coffin.
Taking lantern in his hand he re-
turned to the edge OF the grave and
lowered the light until the rays fell upon
the casket. McFadden exultantly called
his companions to the edge OF the grave
and there they beheld with him that only
few old rags had been buried in the
coffin.

There Has Been Enough Blood, Enough

BELIEVES HE is SERVING COUNTRY.
Agulnaldo Urges Those Still In Arms to Re-
spect the Wishes Of the Majority of Their
Countrymen "Who Have Already United
Around the Glorious Sovereign Banner Of
the United States"

Manila (By Cable) THE following is
Agunaldo's address to the Filipino peo-
pie just made public:
Il believe | am not in error in pre-
suming the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has led me is not a sur
prise to those who have been familiar
with the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with a full meaning, and
which have recently come to my knowl-
edge, suggest with irresistible force that
complete termination of hostilites and
lasting peace are not only desirable. but
absolutely essential to the welfare OF the
Philippine Islands.
The Fiipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness. nor have they
taltered in following the path pointed
out by their fortitude and courage The
time has come, however, in which they
find their advance along this path to be
impeded by an irresistible force, which
while it restraints them, yet enlightens
their minds and opens to them another
course, presenting them the cause OF
peace.
This cause has been ioyfully embrac-
ed by the maj jority OF my feilow-coun-
trymen, who have already united
around the glorious sovereign banner
OF the United States. In this banner
they repose their trust and believe that
under its protection the Filipino people
will attain all those promised liberties
which they arc beginning to enjoy. The
country has declared unmistakably in
favor OF peace. So be it. There has
been enough blood, enough tears and
enough desolation. This wish cannot
be ignored by the men still in arms il
they are animated by a desire to serve
Our noble people, which has thus clearly
manifested its will So do | respect
this will, now that it is made known TO
me.
After mature deiberation, resolute-
ly proclaim to the world that cannot
refuse to heed the voice OF a people
longing for peace, nor the lamentations
OF thousands of families yearning to sec
their dear ones enjoying the liberty and
the promised generosity OF the great
American nation.
By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States
throughout the Philippine archipelago.
as | now do, and without any reserva-
ton whatsoever, | believe that | am
serving thee, my beloved country. Ny
happiness be thine"
