CHURCHSlNGER'
AS OPERA SINGER SHE MARRIED
A CIRCUS PERFORMER IN AUS
TRALIA, NOW SEEKS DIVORCE.

A romantic tale Of love, courtship, mar
r1age, life In many chimes surrounded
with the glitter and glamour of the the
alter and the circus and finally of dou-
BILE desertion with a resultant struggle for
support, was told in Judge Lewis court
in st. Paul yesterday by Mrs. Ida Kate
Murtaugh.
Mrs. Murtaugh is seeking a divorce
from Patrick Murtaugh on the ground of
desertion. The court was not certain,
when the testimony was closed, whether
the husband or the wife deserted and the
case was taken under Amusement
The plaintiff, former opera singer,
who Travelled the world over is now en-
gagged as a soloist in the First Christian
church, st. Paul While touring Aus
tralia she met and fell in love with Pat
rick Murtaugh, a young and handsome
circus performer. They were married in
India and travelled together until they re-
turned to Melbourne, Australia, where a
girl baby was born to them, and they con-
tinued to make their home. Fl,
About twelve years ago the wife and
child bade Mr. Murtaugh good-by when
he started on tour with Sells Brothers
circus. Months went by and the waiting
wife received no word from her dear de-
parted. She decided that she had been
deserted and with her little girl came to
America, where her voice has made their
living. It was brought out in the evil
| dence that altho Mrs. Murtaugh does not
know the present whereabouts Of her hus-
band, he returned to Melbourne shortly
after her departure for America and find
| ing his family gone and no word as to
| their destination, left imme diately. While
singing iniopera Mrs. Murtaugh once saw
her husband in the audience, but he did
not recognize her, and before she could
get word to him he had left the house and
/ was lost to her again. F@9

this nature is a secondary considera-

soon become exhausted in time Of

to follow not only water famine, but
also an epidemic of disease, the germs

COMMERCIAL VALUE OF REFoR-

In a Government Report, Harold b.
Kempton Describes Methods En-
ployed in New England Which
Could Also Be Used to Advantage
in the Northwest.

The commercial success Of forestry
has been esta blished beyond question,
according to the report Of Field AS
sistant Harold B. Kempton of the
bureau Of forestry of the department.
of agriculture, on the planting of
white pine. Mr.. Kempton, after study
ing many experiments, says that the
planting of white pine is advantageou
on watersheds, on sand barrens, on
bare lands and worn-out pastures, and
on cut-over and burned lands, and he
adds that. such planting is practical
not only for states and corporations,
but for the private landowner as Well
For several years the department.
of agriculture has been conducting
experiments, particularly in the New
England states, where, as in the north
ing, forest fires and the inability OF
white pine to reproduce in the intense
shade of broad-leaf trees have oblit-
Grated the great white pine forests.
The increasing value Of lumber, says
Mr.. Kempton in his report, and the
of a great portion of this
forest land for other purposes make
the restoration Of these forests an
economic consideration.
From figures which the experiment.
er publishes it is seen that numbering
may be practiced probably at be-
tween thirty-fve and forty-five years
from the time of planting. "At this
time" says the report, "the diameter
of the trees, where grown In the prop
err density, is 8 to IL inches. This
would not sell in the market as first
class, nor even as second-ciass timber,
but trees of this size have in most re-
gions ready market for use as box

A native was brought to the police
station yesterday afternoon and locked
up in a cell. The officer noticed that
he was in a pretty drunken condition
and occasionally the turnkey looked in
to see if he was all right. He noticed
after while that the man did not move
from the position in which he was laid
on the board bunk, and DIR. Emerson
was called in to investigate the case.
At his instance the man was taken
