Granted a Divorce.
One of the last cases ITO be heard
was that of Florence Mott VS.. Willis
E. Mott, an action for a divorce
Cruel and inhuman treatment and
failure to support were the grounds
alleged.
The defendant defaulted, which was
noted on the back Of the complaint,
and the court proceeded to hear plain
tiff's testimony. This was corrob-
GRATED by another witness and an
order was made granting the plain.
tiff the relief demanded. She was
given custody of the minor chi1d OF
the couple, a little girl.
Defendants Score Point.
During the afternoon the court
heard arguments on the demurrer and
brief submitted by the defendants in
the matter Of the Billings Land and
Irrigation company VS.. Elmer G. Sum-
mers, ct al, an action brought to con-
denim certain lands belonging to the
defendant for right-of-way for the pro-
posed irrigation canal the company
is constructing to carry water onto
the Huntley flats.
The demurrer set forth three
grounds on which the complaint was
attacked. AS the first ground it was
alleged that the complaint vas uncer-
tain, in that it was impossible to de-
termine from it the general route of
the proposed canal through sections
%, % and 81, township l north, range
26 east and thence through to the
flats, in that it was uncertain what
lands we're meant by the Huntley
flats and impossible to ascertain the
eastern terminue of the canal.
The second ground charged that the
complaint was ambiguous in that 1t
was alleged in paragraph 6 that the
lands mentioned 'can be irrigated
and made productive only through and
by means of the water conveyed by
means of the said proposed canal"
and that said lands a be irrigated
by no ether means than through plain
tiff's proposed canal" and the same
paragraph also alleged "that the route
Of the said proposed canal is the most
feasible route for a canal by means
Of which said lands can be irrigated"
These allegations were designated
as being ambiguous in that it was
made to appear from the first two AL
legations quoted that there is no other
means of irrigating the lands in ques-
ton than through plaintiffs proposed
canal, while it appeared from the last
mentioned allegation quoted from the
complaint that there are other routes
that might be utilized for the con-
struction of a canal for the irrigation
of the lands named in the complaint.
"It is nowhere alleged" continued
the demurrer, that n route selected
for the proposed canal is the n
which would do the least private in
jury, nor is there any allegation in
said complaint from which it appears
that the route selected for the said
canal will do the greatest public
good"
In conclusion the demurrer charged
that the complaint did not set forth
sufficient facts to constitute a, cause
of action.
Judge Loud overruled the first
ground and sustained the second and
third.

Christian church, corner Sher-

topic Tuesday night was IRE

led and made deep impression.
Mr.. Cooke fully demonstrated
that he is a close student of the
Bible and one of the ablest pull
pit orators that ever visited this
city. The evangelist, in discuss
ing repentance, brought forth
and sustained the following pro-
positions of the word of God.
These propositions, sustained
as they were by the word of God,
are enough to convince the most
skeptical that Mr.. Cooke and his
brethren are orthodox, so far as
the Bible doctrine of repentance
is concerned.
The preacher said, substantial
ly:
This doctrine of repentance
is one to which every church in
christendom should be commit
ed. We find this doctrine of re-
pentance emphasized in both
testaments, therefore, repent

and repentance produces refor-

Faith in Jesus is the handspring
or cause of sorrow for sin, pro-

therefore, is a mental resolution

this mills of raw material and order
ed the union miners of Cripple Greek
and Telluride to refuse to work in
any mine shipping ore to unfair"
mills and shelters. Most of the mines
were closed down, although the min
ers had nc grievances of their own.
Then the mine owners organized
an association, which was reinforced
by an organization known as the Citi-
zens' Alliance, and the mines have
been operated since on a non-union
basis, despite the opposition of the
Federation.
Following this, Mr.. Baker asserts
that the miners union broke the law,
the corporation broke the law, the
citizens organization broke the law
and even the Legislature was law
less. Assassination and violence re-
suited.
On December 4, 1908, James III.
Peabody, Governor of Colorado, is
sued a proclamation declaring the
county of Teller to be Gin a state of
insurrectien and rebellion" Since
that time and for a period antedat-
ing the proclamation by two months
a large part of Colorado has been
under the sternest kind of military
rule-under a form of government
which Mr.. Baker describes as un-
mitigated despotism.
Gen. Sherman Bell, of Trough

of the State militia. Newspapers
were suppressed, a rigid censorship
established and editors were arrest
ed and abused and citizens thrown in
to a vile prison known as the "Bull
Pen" without any formal charge be-
ing made against them. In this den
men of responsibility and wealth
were held "incommunicado" and not
allowed to see their families, friends
nor even counsel. The civil courts
and their officers were over-ridden
and their DEGREES disregarded and
sneered at.
General Bell, after refusing to rec

on being told that he was defying the
constitution, was quoted as saying:

An ex-member of Congress who
had offended the military satraps
stood upon his constitutional rights
and barricaded himself in his Office.
He was promptly fired upon, wound
ed and arrested and his effort to Sc
cure a writ of habeas corpus frus-

The Mine Owners Lawless Efforts to
Crush Labor Unions Have Led to Re-
taliation and for Months Virtual An
archy Has Prevailed-A Vivid Picture
of the Contest.

The labor war which began last
year by a strike in the smelling
mills of the Cripple Greek mining
region and then spread to the mines
themselves had, long before these
latest outrages, resulted, according
to Ray Stannard Baker in the May
issue of McClure's Magazine, in a
condition of "an-round lawlessness."
In brief, as he puts it., "there has
been a breakdown Of democracy, and,
through anarchy, a reversion to des-
potism." There have been assassina-
tons and destruction of property,
for which the Western Federation of
Miners was held responsible by the
mine owners. There have been arbi-
trary arrests, imprisonments and
explosions of union miners. Finally,
there has been what Mr.. Baker rep
resents as "brazen and conscience
less defeat of the will of the people"
by corporation influences.
In 1896 the Legislature passed an
eight hour law, for which the unions
had been agitating for several years,
This law was fought in the courts
by the mining interests, and it was
ultimately declared unconstitutional
by the Colorado Supreme Court, al
though the Supreme Court of the
United States had previously ap-
proved a similar law passed in Utah.
The labor unions then concentrated
their energies in getting an amend
ment to the constitution of Colorado.
The amendment was submitted to
the people in 1902 and was carried
by a majority of 46,714 votes. Both
the Democratic and Republican par
ties pledged themselves, in their plat
forms, to enforce the amendment by
the laws to be enacted by the Legis-
lature at the session of 1902-1903.
The wording of the amendment
made it mandatory on the Legisla-
ture to pass the eight-hour law. Yet
the body adjourned without passing
it. The miners believe that the de-
feat of the measure was accomplish
ed by a lobby and a corruption fund.
Of the five principal demands of
the unions at the time of the strike
two are to enforce laws already on
the statute books of Colorado, and a
third, the eight-hour demand, is al
ready a constitutional law.
off," say Mr.. Baker, "the laws
on the statute books, including the
eight-hour law, and been obeyed,
there would have been no disturb
ance last winter. The reason why
these laws are not enforced is that
the State must be the prosecutor,
and both sides hold the State in con-
tempt"
TO enforce their demands, includ-
ing the eight-hour day, the miners
union inaugurated strikes-frst in
the smelling mills. It was only par

The Nebraska State Journal is likely to find itself ostracised and otherwise discouraged by the stalwart Republi- cans of Missouri for. the following ut terance:
 The coming of Joseph w. Folk can hardly be made the occasion of much partisan feeling in Lincoln. At home MT. Folk stands for the things that the Republicans want to stand for in Nebraska. His services to the cause of spicuous that he is entitled to respect and honor wherever he goes. If time permitted the Republicans of this city would like to join in a non-partisan demonstration showing that they ap- preciate the man who has sent so many boodlers to the penitentiary.
 Such sentiments are creditable to a Republican paper, but its namesake just across In Kansas City will hardly swallow such sentiments with cheer full countenance. It Is devoting much of its spare time and energy to the discreditab1e task of trying to discount all the good that Folk has done in ex- posing and punishing crime. and of further trying to convince the Missouri Republicans that they ought to join in with Democratic boodlers to defeat the man who has done so much to pun ish crime in that State. It is not at all likely that such disgraceful par tisanship will succeed, but that is no defense for those who are trying to bring 1t about.
 The Kansas City Journal is one of the foremost workers in this business ofz detractlon and Encouragement Months ago. before it was thought that Mir. Folk would be a candidate for Governor, The Journal was one of his warmest adherents. continually and properly endorsing and praising his good work. Now that there seems a slight hope of electing a Governor by an unholy combination between the Blihl and Black George of politics it can see nothing of good in Folk and wants him defeated, little caring how 1t is done. Our Lincoln contemporary may expect the marble heart from Kan sas City Republicanism.

A FALSE sRumoR.. ;.

The Mobile Register of yesterday contains in a letter from its correspond ent in this city some so-cailed "polit- icai rumors,r and we are surprised that so fair-minded a paper would allow 1t space in its columns. The Register Is in close touch with Montgomery. and could easily have found out from the parties interested what they had to say on the subject mentioned Here is the opening portion of the letter:
 Montgomery, Ala, October 2s.-(Spe- cial IA political rumor has just start ed that will not only affect both the Republicans and Democrats of this State, but 1t will create something of sensation. The rumor Is one that will have to be handled with care and your correspondent prints it for what 1t Is worth--a mere rumor-but worth the close study and attention of the people of this State. The rumor is somewhat like this: Judge Thomas G. Circuit Court of Appeals, is soon to be appointed on the United States Court of Appeals, as a place on that bench will soon be made vacant. That ex- Governor William c. Oates, of this city. is to be appointed Federal Judge fer the Middle District of Alabama to suc- ceed Judge Jones' That Postmaster c, W. Buckley, who Is not in very close touch with the present adminis- and that Major W. W. Screws, also of this city. Is to be appointed postmas- ter of Montgomery.
 The Register might have asked Major W. W. Screws. the Editor of The Ad- vertiser. whether or not there was any truth in, the above reference to him. In the absence of an opportunity to make such a denial, we state here and now that under no circumstances would the Editor of this paper accept appoint ment to the office of postmaster in this city. and there Is no foundation for a statement that such thing Is possi- ble. Its suggestion grows out of pure political malevolence, and nothing else, and The Register has allowed itself to be used.
 The letter Is so clumsily written as plated changes are to be made by the present administration or a new one, which all patriots should hope will be headed by Judge Parker. To make matters perfectly plain, the Editor of The Advertiser desires to say that in the happy event of Democratic Pres ident, he will not be an applicant for the Montgomery postoffice. We hope the people of Alabama know us well enough to believe that we would not accept political office from a Repub- lican President.
 We must again express our surprise that The Register would give currency to such serious and anwarranted statement without making al effort to verify it.

HE IS NOT A EOnI

Discussing Mir. Carnegie's criticisms Of Roosevelt, and his appreciative words about Parker, with his further avowal that he intends to vote for the former The Portsmouth Star says:
 The only excuse that Mir Carnegie can frame for that treachery to his country and that betrayal of his own sense of justice and right Is. q am a party man" He might have said he Is a coward, a fool or an ass.
 It is not fair to call him fool or an ass. for he is neither. In one sense we may regard him as a coward. for he proposes to vote for a man in whom he has little confidence, and for par ty whose policies he dislikes. and he will do it solely because he fears that the success of Democracy might deprive him of some of the profits he derives from a Republican tariff. Tn thus vot- ing he may show himself cowardly, but not a fool. for he is looking Tout for his own interests, and trying to keep in power the party which en- riches him.
 Like all other men of large commer- cial and industrial interests, MT. Car negie derives immense benefit from the operation of protective prohtbitive tariff. It is to the workings of that system that he largely owes the many millions he has accumulated, and which he spends literally, it is but just to remark But it Is we'll known that tbe tariff as now in operation has been one of the chief factors in his money making schemes, and it is natural that he should, from a strictly business standpoint. vote to keep in power the party of protection: To that extent he may be oowardly, but he lacks much of being a fool.

 The ibex and remarkable animal known as the bharal, or blue sheep of Thibet. but which appears to be more goat than sheep, also deserve mention.
 The snow deer, a beast nearly as big as the great wapiti, has seldom fallen to the gun of the European. No com plete specimen has yet been sent to Europe. In this country it is repre- sented only by the skulls and horns in the British museum and as many more in different private collections. The horns are of great size, the record in the number of points, thirteen, Is in the British museum. The spread between the tips of the horns Is over ground. Little is known about the creature, but 1t Is conjectured that this coloration Is protective, harmonizing with patches of snow and black rocks among which 1t lives.
 One of the most brilliant colored of all monkeys Is to be found in Thibet It is known as the orange srub- nosed monkey. It lives in troops among the taller trees. After its color the next conspicuous feature about this animal Is its tIp-tilted nose.

THE RIVER CoNvENTIoN.

The movement to make the Alabama River navigable all of the year is one that should commend itself to every patriotic citizen of Montgomery as 1t has awakened interest of those people between here and Mobile who are largely dependent upon river naviga- ton.
 As boat service on the river is sub served so is Montgomrey's position as the commercial and industrial hub of Alabama assured. We owe more to river navigation than some of us have realized.
 With the sandbars removed from the river and a guarantee that boats may reach Montgomery from Mobile every month in the year. Montgomery, Selma and Mobile would reap returns beyond their expectations. The money neces- sary to complete the work of opening the river to continuous navigation is insignificant when the results of the work are considered.
 The Commercial and Industrial Asso- citation of Montgomery has called meeting of representative men of the State for November II in this city to discuss the river improvements and in- dications point to a large and enthu- slastic gathering.
 Every citizen of Montgomery should give his support and sympathy to the movement. it is one that touches the whole community; one that portends further development of Montgomery and it's neighboring cities.
