AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

By decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States Tuesday at
Washington City, the principal is
established that state cannot
grant a divorce when but one of the
parties to the marriage is resident
within the jurisdiction of the state.
In effect it means:
That no divorce is legal unless
both parties to the divorce reside in
the state in which the decree is
granted.
That people who have journeyed
to the Dakotas and to other states,
where divorces are easy to secure,
leaving wives or husbands in other
states, are not lega ly divorced.
That subsequent marriage con-
tracts by people, divorced under
these circumstances, are illegal.
That children born of these subse-
quent marriages, are, therefore, il
legitimate.
More than $4,000 couples are af-
fected by this ruling.

Calls were down in the southern
part of the county the latter part of
last week lookinglfor several Mis-
souri, miners who attempted and
partly succeeded in running affairs
IN several towns down there for a
time but disappeared to parts un-
known before being apprehended.
At Hazel Green they were decidedly
unruly, one of them drawing a
knife on the village marshal, while
his pal held gun on the crowd that
sought to interfere. Much excite
ment resulted in every community
where the southerners occupied the
boards and the officers were eager
to capture the thugs. Should they
again invade this section it will go
hard with them as people are
wrought up to frenzy over their
eScapade. 1t is said that every
southern miner has been discharged
ard driven out of the mining dis
tricts in the southern part of the
county as a result of the disturb
ance.

Charging Soft Woods with creOsOte

Soft woods are now being bought in
great quantities by the railroad and tel
egraph lines In the West and treated with
creosote and other preservatives for ties
poles and cross arms. Whole trains are
loaded with sticks to be treated and run
bodily into great retorts. Hot steam is
admitted into the retort for several hours,
and then vacuum is drawn, the heat be-
ing kept above the boiling point At the
end OF the vacuum, but without destroy
ing the vacuum, the ereosote from an ele-
waited tank, is admitted into the retort
until 1t is full. Pressure is then applied
until the desired amount of creosote per
cubic foot is forced into the wood, These
retorts are movable and are hauled from
place to place. This treatment which
quadruples the life of a soft wood tie, has
opened up a supply which will meet the
demand for some years But a shortage
is distinctly In sight and some broader
plans must be undertaken. The only rem
edy is tree planting and forest manage
ment.
