United States Supreme Court Makes
Important Ruling.
UPH0lDs RECENT new YORK DECISION
WHICH HELD MARRIAGE FOL-
LOWING CONNECTICUT sEPA-
RATION WAS ILLEGAL.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Auril IS
In an opinion by Justice White, the
supreme court decided the case of
John w. Haddock VS.. Harriet Had
dock, a divorce proceeding instituted
in the courts of New York city, in ia
vor of the woman.
The Haddocks were married in 1868,
and the husband claimed to have been
an unwilling participant in the cere-
mony He says, in his answer to the
woman's complaint, that he left her
Immediately after the marriage rites
were performed and during all the
time that has interviewed has seen her
only three times.
In 1881 he secured divorce in the
state Of Connecticut, where he then
resided, and IN 1882 was married there
to another woman.
The New York supreme court held
the Connecticut marriage to be lille
gal, decreed the first wife to be still
the legal wife, and directed Haddock
to pay her an annuity Of $3.50.
The finding was sustained by to-
days decision, which held that Mrs.
Haddock was without the jurisdiction
of the Connecticut court.
Justice White, in deciding the case,
laid down the general principle that
a state in which only one party to
divorce proceeding resides has no right
to dissolve a marriage tie which all
were delivered by Justice Brown They
united in dissenting opinions. which
took the position that the Connecticut
divorce proceeding was regular and is
entitled to due credence in other states.
Justice Brown declared in his opinion
that the court had taken a backward
step in this direction.
Justice Holmes also dlSSenleu lIoHl
the decision of the court, but delivered
an independent opinion. He said the
result of the decision would be to lille
gitinize many children but added that
he would not go so far as to predict
that civilization would come to an
end. whatever the conclusion in the
case.

PENDLETON, April 1S.-Attornew
r. J. Slater has received word that
Judge Hanford, of the federal court
at Seattle, has denied the writ OF
habeas corpus in the case of Columbia

sentence in the government prison on
McNeirs islanl for the crime of muir
der Mr.. Slater says, however, that
this will not settle the case and that
he will appeal, carrying it to the Unit

The grounds upon which the appeal is
based are that the original action is
without the federal jurisdiction.
Columbia George is the Indian who,
together with Toy Toy, killed Anna

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
Especial about a dozen applications
have been received by the American
De Forest Wireless Telegraph COM
pany at it's New York office for wire
less apparatus to be used in the coal
regions during the strike. On other
similar occasions miners, aroused to
pitch of desperation, have attacked
and burned breakers and other build
ings and destroyed costly machinery.
Preliminary to such attacks they have
cut the telephone and telegraph wires,
leaving the point to be attacked with
out means of communication with the
outer world This would not be pos
sible with wireless" telegraph, as, of
course, there are no wires to be cut.
The plan Of the coal operators is to
establish central stations at each
group of mines, with small wireless
plants and operators at various outly-
ing points. All points could thus be
in communication with the central
station and with each other, and at

the De Forest company may be unable
to furnish the equipment in time be-
cause of pressure Of orders. A ship
ment was made a few days ago to In
dia for a dozen stations for the Brit
ish government, which required night
and day work to complete it in time.
Additional contracts for ocean vessels
and inland and coast stations, together
with a rush order for the Arctic re-
gions, make it doubtful if the coal
equipment can be prepared in time. 1t
is understood that If absolutely neces-
sary the company will lend a few sta
tons to one of the great coal roads
which is very anxious to have them.
The De Forest company expects also
to shortly establish stations of its own

Mental pofse and Health.

People who reach extreme old age
are, as a rule, pretty we'll balanced
physically and mentally. A poised life
is serene, and serenity and harmony
tend to longevity. The mind that is
not we'll balanced is constantly tangled
and out of tune. There IS constant
jarring which racks the whole human
machinery. There is discord in an un-
balanced life, and discord is always
destructive deadly. The well poised,
dignified life is not thrown oif it's cen
ter quickly. The man who goes all to
pieces over trldes Is one sided. There
is>a momentum in poised, balanced
nature which steadies its progress and
helps hold it on its chosen track.

In our opinion conditions war
rant steps to be taken looking to
urging the proper men to stand
for election to the General AS
sembly. There are good men
who we believe can afford to give
some of their time to the public
welfare. who have the country at
heart, and who would, if chosen
Representatives, will be of great
service not alone to the country
but the State as well.
One of the main reasons why
there is so much complaint about
our legislatures, is that the peo-
pie have, or seemingly have, lost
interest in the selection of men,
and the consequence is that, as a
rule. the men selected as Repre-
sentatives are of a class that four
dollars a day is enticing to them,
and it is the per diem that at
tracts. Until the people them
selves wake up and change this
condition it will grow from bad
to worse. Therefore in our own
opinion, a start cannot be made
any too soon, in the direction OF
urging good men who are quail
fed for the work to come forward
and stand for the general assem-
bly,. There is no trouble in get
ting good men for offices which
have salaries, but where wisdom
and integrity is needed now
