THE AID OF AL NEEDED.

The Journal has on several occasions
called attention TO the Importance Of the
dedication of the Soldiers and Sailors
Monument. AS time passes the evidences
increase that in many ways the dedication
will be the most important event that has
been witnessed in this city. First, the
attendance will be such as the city has not
seen since the national -encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic in 1893. There
are those who believe that for one day it
will be as large. Such an attendance means
Sc, 900 or GO, 900 visitors for one day-visitors
who will spend the day in the populous
portions of the city. Because of the meet
ing of the state encampment of the Grand
Army, the Women's Relief Corps and other
organizations, there will be a fargo attend
ance on Tuesday and Wednesday preceding
the day of the dedication. In short, it will
be a week in which Indianapolis will see
more visitors than it has in any one week
for years. Citizens generally should realize
this and lend assistance in making provi-
sion for their entertainment. The Grand
Army has already taken steps to put the
work into the hands of a competent COM
mittee, which will undertake to direct Wis
itors to residences where they can obtain
lodgings and meals at reasonable prices.
1t has been stated frequently that about
5000 must be raised in Indianapolis to carry
out the dedicatory exercises. In a few
days the items of expenses will be present.
ed. The subject has been considered during
several extended conferences. AS it is an
event in which every man and woman who
is proud of indianapolis should have a spe-
cial interest, the nance committee should
not be compelled to beg. In years, if ever,
there has not been an affair which so
directly appeals to the citizens of Indian
apolis. There has never been, and there
never will be. another monument like In
diana's to dedicate. The event will bear the
name of the city TO all civilized lands. The
monument itself is a glory in which every
resident can share. In all the years it will
bring tens of thousands of people to view
and admire it. For these and numerous
other reasons which could be given, the
request of the finance COMMITTEES for con-
tributions should be responded TO by hum
dreds, and even thousands, TO whose pa
triOtic impulse and local pride the monu-
ment appeals.

RIVAL SUBURBS AT VAR
Contest for Possession of "a Water
Works Plant Near Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 3.-Armed forces repre-
senting two rival suburbs of Chicago con-
tested for the possession of a water works
plant between midnight and daylight to-
day. The plant is situated in the town of
Berwyn. This town and the town of Cicero
came separate municipalities. Possession
Of the water works Immediately became a
holly contested question. Last night the
Cicero authorities, represented by three po-
licemen in uniform, took possession of the
place. They compelled the engineer and
his assistant, both %appointees of Berwyn,
to perform their work. The Berwyn au-
thorities telegraphed Chicago for help, and
at midnight four well-armed private detec-
tives arrived. They were sworn i'm as con-
stables and warrants were issued for the
arrest of the three Cicero policemen. The
attacking party, headed by Village Presi-
dent L. M. Cole, numbered ten men, all
armed. They found the place locked and
barred. More reinforcements were sent for
partment responded. Guards were placed
at all the windows and then a piece of
timber was secured and the door knocked
from its hinges. Only one policeman was
found inside, the other two having escaped.
The guard was still on duty this morning.
Supervisor LINEN, of Cicero, declared that
President Cole, of Berwyn, broke faith
over the water works matter. He said it
had been agreed that Cicero should con-
troll the plant and it's revenue till May l.,
when the matter should be adjudicated by
the courts

LITTLE FOOD AND WATER.
County i'm Which In Has Been
Raised for Two Years.

LAREDO, Tex, April 3.-Judge McLane
and District Attorney Hamilton have just
returned from Carizzo, where they went
to hold a term of the District Court fol-
Zapata county, and both agree that the
people of that county are in a most de-
plorable condition.
Judge McLane, in an interview, said;
There is no fodder for the horses. and
corn was 5 cents a pound (Mexican money!.
The stock is nearly all dead, and what ami
mails are still living are so poor they can
scarcely walk. The water holes are nearly
all dried up and will last but a few weeks
longer. and when the water fails what
stock is left will not live a week. We trav-
eled $40 miles, and in that distance did not
see enough grass to fill ones hat. Nothing
has been grown in the county for two
years. Those who have a few cattle left
are unable even to pay their taxes. The
people have planted nothing this year and
are utterly without hope"
Judge McLane thinks that If a supply of
corn and beans could be raised it would be
sufficient at present, as these people can
live very well upon this diet.

the Governor represented that sentiment
1t is a misrepresentation. AS related by the
Journal when Governor Durbin returned,
Governor General Wood was showing Gov.
Durbin through the prison; when within a
few yards Of the room occupied by Nicely
the governor general asked Governor Dur
bin If he would recognize Nicely. The Gov
ernor responded in the affirmative. and,
when in front of his room the governor
general called Neely's attention and Gov.
Durbin spoke with him less than two min
utes, the governor general standing near
by. The conversation was Of the most gem
eral character. Such are the facts about
a matter to which a great independent jour
nal has seen fit to give great Importance
by misrepresentation-the Evening Post be-
ing undoubtedly deceived.

Combination story Denied.

PITTSBURG. April Am afternoon pa
per to-day published a story to the effect
that a combination Of the three lax ship
ping coal companies had been consum-
mated. with a capitalization of $125. 900. 900.
The companies said 10 have entered the
combine are the Pittsburg Coal Company,
the Paramount Coal Company Of West Vir-
gfnia and the Hooking Valley interests,
controlling an aggregate of $50. 600 acres OF
coal lands.
Officials of the P~ittsburg Coal COMPANY
say tina In so far as their company is con-
cerned there is not the least foundation
in fact for the story. They say the only
agreement made by the lake shipping COM
panies was reached last week, when freight
rates from the several fields to the lake
ports were fixed, which rates were pub
lished at the time.

The report that one of the monuments
originally erected By Russia to mark the
Alaskan boundary line has been arbitrarily
removed by a Canadian official surveying
expedition is receiving the attention of the
government authorities. BY direction of the
President Secretary Hay has ordered a
personal investigation to be made by a
committee of United States army officers
to ascertain and report the facts. OF
course, the only object in removing the
monument would be to change the boundary
line, and the act, if done. would be an af-
front equally to Russia and the United
States. If the report should prove to be
true it will add a new element of COM
plication to the Alaskan boundary dispute,
though Great Britain could hardly hest
tate to disavow and apologize for an act
of that kind done without authority.

some Causes Showing wherein h
New Law Differs from the
Old One.

-
Attention was recently called by a
prominent out-of-town newspaper
to the novel spectacle offered to
observers by the rush for divorces in
this city, relates the Washington
Star. II was asserted that the spc~
cialist lawyers of Washington had
advised lower rates for the remainder
of the year, the chief cause for the
rush, however, being ascribed to the
prospect of a divorce law much less
liberal than the present one going
into effect the second of January.
Under the provisions OF the existing
statute as interpreted by s%ympathet-
ic courts, so the writer referred to
declares, cold feet, chronic dyspepsia
or a habit of bringing friends home
to dinner on wash days are sufficient
grounds for a decree with liberal ali
mony at the present time acre at the
capital of the nation.
In view of the foregoing, it may be
of interest to specify just what the
law now in force provides. A divorce
from the bond of marriage may be
granted in any of the following
causes:
Where such marriage was contract
ed while either of the parties there
to had a former wife or husband liy-
ing. unless the former marriage had
been lawfully dissolved and no re-
straint imposed on the party on
tracing such second marriage.
Where such marriage was con-
tracted during the lunacy of either
party.
Where either party was matrimo-
nially incapacitated at the time of
the marriage.
Where either party has committed
adultery during the marriage.
For habitual drunkenness for a
period of three years of the party
complained against.
For cruelty of treatment. endan-
gering the life or health of the party
complaining.
For willful desertion and abandon
ment by the party complained of
against the party complaining for
the full uninterrupted space of two
years.
A divorce from bed and board may
be granted for either of the follow
ing causes:
Cruelty of treatment. endangering
the life or health of one of the par
ties.
Reasonable apprehension, to the
satisfaction of the court, Of bodily
harm.
Under the provisions of the new
code of law a divorce from the bond
of marriage may be granted only
where n of the parties has commit
ted adultery during the marriage.
In such cases the innocent party
only may remarry. Nothing is con-
tanned in the law to prevent the re-
marriage of the divorced parties to
each other.
Legal separation from bed and
board, under the code, may be grant
ed for drunkenness, cruelty and de-
sertion.
