DAKOTA DIVORCES,

Civilized Jurisprudence was a
phrase used in an English court the
other day to contrast the divorce laws
of England with those of America, and
specifically Of South Dakota. That re.
gion the speaker called half settled
as sweeter term, than half civilized.
For woman, nurtursd in Belgravia,
to proceed to South Dakotas wilds,
pretend to be resident, and secure a
so-called divorce, would be what was
caustically described as "a fraud on
civilized Jurisprudence" Such Language
brings into prominence view of our
divorce laws and customs which is in
dependent Of any theories about the
right or wrong of divorce itself. We
hesitate to interfere with fourishing
Dakota industry, and yet know not
how to answer the charge that our jur-
isprudence in relief of marriage is I'M
civilized. The English view is that, al
though a nation may make divorce the
legal consequence Of certain faults, it
is not exalted or civilized to allow peo-
pie to obtain decree by committing
perjury. Such permission is Setting
the reward for fraud too high. OPP

two judges sitting, a difference of opin-
ion on a question of law was certified

lt 1s we'll to look the matter fairly
san the face. Many good men join in
these uprisings, Mortified at the atroc-
aty OF the crime and eager for swift
ana summary punishment. OF course,
they violate the law themselves, but
rely on the public sentiment behind
them for escape from punishment.
& Many Of these lynchings are accom-
panied by the horrible barbarities of
savage torture, and all that can be
4 said In palhation is the atrocity of the
offense which led up to them. For a
time they were confined largely to the
{ south, but that section Of country no
longer has monopoly. The chief Of
Tense which causes those lynchings
j has been the assault Of white women
by colored men. No words can be
found too strong to describe the atroc-
& ity OF such a crime. 1t is no wonder
that the community is excited Men

More than that, as might be expected
lynching for such atrocious crimes is
no longer confined to them, but is be-
ing resorted to for other offenses
What can be done to stay this cpl
demic Of lynching? One thing is the
establishment of a greater confidence
In the summary and certain punish
ment Of the criminal. Men are afraid
ofsthe laws delays and the uncertainty
OF it's results. Not that they doubt the
integrity Of the judges, but they know
that the law abounds with technical
rules. and that appellate courts viii

II IL Made strikfngly Manifest when
an EarthQ Quake Comes.
A traveller gives this thrilling account
OF an earthquake in the far east:
THE one occasion saw a panic was
in Calcutta I'm June. 1897. II was a
Saturday evening about 3 o'clock. 1t
was pantingly hot, and I was one Of a
party of pajama clad men sitting on
the roof of high house having tea.
I'VE were I'm the midst of a merry
chatter when the whole building began
to tremble. We were instantly hushed
and looking at one another with blank
faces until feeling OF terror took pos
session OF us, and somebody shouted,
My God, an earthquaker
1--WE stampeded. There were three
flights of stairs TO 90 down. and of
course the fattest and slowest man was
in front and blocked the way. The
walls were cracking and yawning; the
plaster was falling in chunks.
1--WE were all barefooted. but that
didn't matter. In front of the house
was the meidan, the great open space
in Calcutta. We ran there. A great
part Of the adjoining house came down
with roar. The whole front Of a news
paper office crashed into the street The
| top Of the cathedral spire came of and
| fell through the roof into the chancel.
Horses were stricken with madness
| and were careering furiously beyond
| all control. The natives were shrek
ing. Europeans. blanch checked, tore
from their houses. and many Of the wo-
men tainted.
THE thing l will never forget was
what followed. There was the crunch
| of ripped walls. and the whole earth
was heaving and trembling very much
like a ship that has banged against a
| pier and taken time to recover. The
awful sensation was the feeling of i'm.
| potence.
| THE earthquake lasted only five
minutes. though at the time 1t seemed
like hours. Men could only stand on
the heaving. seasick ground absolutely
helpless, unable to speak, but staring
into each others white countenance
waiting for the earth to yawn. That
was the terrible thing: crowds Of foil;
reduced to mute horror. helpless, just
standing with big, wide open, alright
