Women Not Judges of DRINKS

WATERBURY, Conn.,, March %
Though women emphatically declared
that Philip Fitzpatrick was a drunkard
Judge William H. Case, in the superior
court, refused to grant a divorce to mis-
wife, Minnie E. Fitzpatrick.
Unless you can get at least two re-
liable male witnesses to testify to the
defendants drinking habits he told
the counsel for Mrs. Fitzpatrick, your
client cannot get a divorce"
Mrs. Fitzpatrick said her husband
was drunk every Saturday and We'd
nesday and lay in bed dead drunk all
day Sunday with a whiskey bottle be-
side him.
Women" said Judge Case, ARE not
qualified to testify to the various
stages of intemperance. While having
the best intentions in the world they
are very vague ON this subject, and
their testimony is not to be relied upon
when it is unsupported by that of men

WEST GREATEST OIL PRODUCER.
Geographical Survey Working Up Data
Bearing on Oil Inquiry.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Com-
United States will be ready for pub
LEGATION by the geographical survey in
about a month. This information will
be of particular value in view of the
investigation being made by the bu-
reau of corporations into the opera
tons of the Standard Oil company.
and other concerns engaged in the pc
trOleum industry, Accurate data will
be furnished so that the relation of
production to the price of tn coil can
be definitely ascertained.
The forthcoming publication will
show that SO per cent of the total out
put is produced west of the Mississippi
river, thus removing the east as the
great leader in this commodity. This
is the first time the west has exceeded
the east as a producer of oil.
consumption of OIL but that increase
has not kept pace with it's production,
with the result that there has been an
accumulation of oil in tanks and a
consequent lowering of prices. In
California, Texas, Louisville, Kansas,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Colorado,
and Wyoming, the production increas-
ed from 1903 to 1904 from about forty
four and three quarter million of bar
rels to over sixty-three millions of
barrels. There is now a production in
those states and territories OF 63,0O0,-
600 ballers or 200 barrels day At
the present time there is a surplus
stock of 100000 barrels of oil in Kan
sas waiting the completion of a pipe
line to Whiting, Ind, so that it may be
run there and refined
In 1904 the production for the whole
country was more than one hundred
and nineteen million barrels of oil, an
increase over the previous year of
about nineteen million barrels.
Not only has there been this great
increase in production in a single year
but the drilling Of new wells leads
many experts to believe that there will
be a vast increase over this amount
next year. These figures in the near
future will be in the possession of the
bureau of corporations as part of it's
evidence bearing on the Kansas situa-
ton.

CUPID ROBS THE FACTORIES.
Pretty Detroit ToiIers Marry at Rate
of Nearly 200 Month.

DETROIT, March 29.-Cupid VS.. the
Factory-and Cupid wine.
1t will come as a surprise to many
persons when they learn that the fac
tory girls of Detroit marry at the rate
of $50 to 200 a month.
The resultant embarrassment to very
many factories during the busy season
makes many a manager swear that in
the future he will hire the unmarriage
able only.
There is in no sense a girl famine in
Detroit. The offer of a position brings
hundreds of applicants. But in this,
as in other fields, quantity does not
mean quality, and bright, quick, reli-
able girls, are hard to find, ana every
inducement is offered to them to stay
when they are found
But those are just the kind that co.

1.-The young fellows have got the habit
Of choosing our best girls. Oh, yes,
some of the average ones go too, but
their going creates no vacancy-that
is, we never miss them-there are al
ways plenty to fill their places 1t
seems poor business, doesn't it, for a
girl to be earning $12 week and quit
her job for a man who is earning only
$40 to SIS? But they will do it. Or
dinarily, they use good judgment, but
when the love microbe gets into them

The foreman at Finks, out Gratiot
avenue, is equally at a loss to know
what to do in order to persuade girls
to stay in the factory.
"Of course we've got the handsom-
est, smartest girls in the city" he said,
CALAMITY. And you can't hardly blame
the boys for coming here to get wife.
But at the same time, it's the ones we
want to stay that always come to us
on a Saturday night and blushingly in
form us that-that, well-tnat they
won't be to work Monday morning,
and of course, we always scent the or
ange blossoms right away.
L don't know how it is, but girls in
overall factories get the notion that
they'd just as soon be at home mend

wife, because she has earned the dol

GIRL KILLS LOVER ANDIS FREED
Miss Pearl SkyIes of Carthage Is Ac-
Quilted of Murder of Sweetheart

CARTHAGE, Mo-, March 29.-Miss
Pearl Skyles, the young woman who
shot and killed her sweetheart, James
H. Rainwater, on November 6, because
of unfaithfulness, was acquitted bv
the circuit court here, after the u
men had been out almost u hours.
The climax to the case, which has
attracted many persons during the four
days it has been before the court, came
after the jury had been polled and the
verdict announced, when Judge How
ard Gray rose from the bench to deliv-
er the rebuke to the jurymen on &C
count of the verdict
Judge Gray declared that the plea of
self-defense was ridiculous, since the
girl herself had admitted while on the
stand IF I hadn't shot him at the de-
pot would have followed him to Kan
sas City and killed MIN there"
when II men are sworn to uphold
the law" said Judge Gray, land are
clothed with the authority you were
clothed with, and then will take the
uncorroborated, contradictory, and in
consistent testimony of a woman Of
questionable character, in preference
to the sworn, corroborated, and con-
sistent testimony of five Christian
men and women, and return such a
verdict as you have in this case, then
human life and property in this coun-
try are absolutely unsafe"
He concluded by saying that he con-
sidered the verdict an insult to the
court, and ordered it to be made of re-
cord that none Of the jurors should
ever sit in the capacity of jurors in the
circuit court as long as he remained

WALLA WALLA COUNTY is WELL
FAVORED WITH PUBLIC
THOROUGHFARES
Request Of the Department Of
Agriculture.

How many miles of public highways
are there in Walla Walla county?
Probably not one man out of every
thousand in the county could answer
the question with any degree of accu-
racy, and even County Surveyor
Loehr could not give the exact num-
Der Of miles of roadway unless he
went over the different roads with his
surveying kit. Approximately there
are 1900 miles of public roads in WAL
la Walla county.
The question arose at Auditor Hon
eycutt's office yesterday when a re-
quest was received from L. w. Page.
assistant director of the United States
department of agriculture, asking that
matters pertaining to the total num-
Der of miles of the different kinds of
roads the levy of 81 per 500 for road
purposes, the total amount of cash
road tax, the number of men subject
to labor tax, and the average wages
per day for road work, be submitted to
the department of agriculture for sta
tistical purposes.
In order to answer the different
questions with any degree of accuracy
it was necessary for Auditor Honey
cult to dig into old musty records
at Surveyor Loehrs office and also to
do some tall rustling among records
in his own office. In addition to 1900
miles of common country roads there
are two miles of macadamized roads
in the county. The different questions
will be answered as near correct as it
is possible, although it will entail a
considerable amount of work on the
part of Auditor Honeycutt.

that during 1902, 1850 petitions for a

$50. Of these who wearied of we'd
lock sufficiently to seek separation in
wives, The courts acted promptly
settling $50 of the total cases for trial
during the year, as follows:
For dissolution Of marriage, 924: for
