RAISES NOVEL POINT
Husband in ReformatOry Fights
Action for Divorce.

The interesting point as to whether
conviction and Imprisonment in the St
Cloud state reformatory is prima facie
cause for divorce under the Minnesota
statutes was considered yesterday by
the supreme court No decision was
rendered by the court, the case being
submitted.
The case in which the question arose
is the divorce proceeding instituted in
the st. Louis county courts by Ida
Dion against her husband, Joseph c..
Dion When the complaint was served
on the defendant, who is an inmate of
the st. Cloud institution, Supt. Randall
resolved to fight the case, for the only
ground upon which the action was
brought is the conviction of the hus-
band and his sentence to the state re-
formatory Dion's attorney demurred
to the complaint. alleging that it did
not state facts sufficient to constitute
cause of action, and the demurrer
was sustained An appeal was taken
to the supreme court by Mrs. Dion.
Section 4790, chapter 81, General
General Laws of 1894, makes convic-
ton and sentence to the state prison"
grounds for divorce in this state, and
1t was under this section that Mrs.
Dion endeavored to sever the nuptial
knot. Counsel for her husband con-
tends that the reformatory is not the
state prison.

TAXPAYERS Do NOT PAY
FOR STREET HOLES
City Engineer Explains Repair Work
Done on the Paved Streets.

81 would like to state once more"
said City Engineer Rundlett yesterday.
that the repair of the streets where cut
to reach gas mains,= water pipes, etc,
will cost the taxpayers nothing The
work of repairing the pavements is fet
by contract through the city counciL
but the company or the city depart
ment that caused the damage must
pay the bill.
During the past eight months 135
cuts were made. of which ninety five
are charged to the water board, TWEEN
ty-three to the gas company. four to
the street railway company, three to
the telephone companies, and one was
made for a sewer connection. The
contract for the work has been let.
MY complaint against the gas COM
pany and the water department does
not apply SO much to paved streets as
to unpayed thoroughfares. 1t has
grown to be a practice to lay water
pipes and gas mains and leave the
street in poor condition. All such
cases have been called to the attention
of the gas company and the water de-
partment. and it has been agreed that
the repairs viii be made

My lack of early acquaintance with

last night, was partially remedied by
copy of the New Testament which I
purchased in New York. and which
was very frequently consulted when in
Jerusalem and it's environs. We made
quite an extended stay in the old city,
and many of the streets and the old
walls look much as they must have
appeared in the early Christian era.
Many of the walls have been torn
down, but others are just as they were
