STATE MAY HAVE
TO 60 IT BLIND
Revised Statutes Not Likely to
Be Ready by March /, When
They Become the Law.

The revised statutes of 1905 will 90
into effect March l, next, but may nos
be published by that time. The work is
progressing very slowly. Hardly any
of the text has even been set up, and
200 pages of index are about the only
evidences of progress. Printers cannot
figure out how the great work can be
turned out in the sixty days remaining.
The state will be in a strange pre-
dicament if the work is not out March
l.. It will be existing under laws of
which no one, not even the lawyers,
will have a correct copy. The only pub
LEGATION now out is the revision as
drafted by the commission, which was
amended by the legislature in thou
sands of places and is being pieced to-
gether and annotated by Mark H. Dun
nell of Owatonna. Mr.. Dunnell is much
later turning in copy than had been
expected. In addition the printers, it is
claimed, are in bad shape, and are send
Ing the matter to Chicago to be set.
Every effort will be made to rush the
work out. Lawyers are alarmed over
the condition things will be in after
March 1. No legal proceedings can be
safely taken without knowledge of Just
how the law on the subject reads. State
and county officers and the courts will
be almost at standstill after March /,
until the revision is issued.

Arthon D. Kofoed, Musician, Alleges Ed
ward L. Quarles, Standard Oil Agent,
Is shoal on Which His Domestic Bark
Was Wrecked Thirty Days After Mar
riage-Asks for a Complete Separa-
ton.

Arthon D. Kofoed, a Minneapolis
musician, is applying for a divorce from
his wife Anita. The case, so far as it's
allegations and circumstances are con-
cerned, is not unusual, but because of
the speed with which the domestic ship
went to pieces and on account of the
persons implicated in it, it is q trifie out
days for the crash, and the rock on
which their ship is alleged to have been
wrecked was none other than a close rel
ative of a United States senator, who
happens to be the representative of a
branch of the Standard Oil company
in Hamburg, Germany.
According to the papers fled and to
the testimony introduced when the case
was heard before Judge Simpson, Ar
tia Dahl. soubrette,- in Baltimore, on
his bride to. the father1and that they
might enjoy a good long honeymoon TO-
gether and that he might show the lit
| tie wife to the old solks. 49, ~.
Arrived in. Hamburg, Arthon noticed
on June l, according to the evidence,
that his bride was taking excursions
about the country with the senator s
by June 6, exactly thirty days after
their marriage, he found that Anita
thought moro of the representative of
the Standard Oil company than of him
! Willing to forgive and hoping that she
would stand by him, he decided to re-
turn at once to America. ~. .-:.rz
Then things went to the bad com
pletely. Anita gave him permission
to make his way alone across the ocean
| announcing that she had found an ole
love who was far more to her than Ar
thon. Angry letters have followed
and the lawful husband now seeks 8
complete separation and asks that the
marriage Of seven months ago be de
| clared null and void. Notice of the
action has been served on the wife
and her lover, but they have made nt
answer. Judge Simpson still has thu
case under advisement
The correspondent named in the com
plant is Edward L. Quarles, agent fo7
the Vacuum Oil company. The evi
dence brought out the fact that thu
charmer Of the alleged faithless Anita
is a member Of the well-known Quarle
