DIVORCE AND ALIMONY.
By Margaret S. Harris.

AS a rule it is true that when woman gets
Il divorce from her husband she wants him
still to support her. The judges do wrong in
encouraging such actions. Ia some special
cases aIimony is all right, but in most it IS
not, especially when there are no children.
A woman should have too much pride and
self-respect to want man whom she Will DOT
live with to support her. 1t is unfair to break

The industrial triumvirate is composed Of
Z !. !. ] !. !.

M with the government as a fourth party, whose
vi | duty it is to see that all rights respected
4 D and all responsibilities faithfully dis
charged. The interests of these three parties
n are coordinate There is no defense Of one
iIAA party against other parties recognition
tA@I Of the equal rights of the three parties does
from employers the rights of ownership
commonly Interpreted it does emphasize the Gle
stewardship in the Interpretation of the rights
and responsibilities of ownership.
If there those who do want to accept the
pei plan Of conduct for the industrial trumvirate be
they do to love" the other parties Of
the triumvirae let them say and then not complain
OF industrial strife There is alternatives it must be
industrial righteousness or industrial strife. The call
the gospel is to those who love Righteousness and hate
strife the saving industry for the saving
a the call Of the gospel is "whosoever will" The
Of Righteousness does not depend the number
those who indorse it, but the loyalty Of those who
appeal it, The code Jesus applied to industries viii
not help to get rich and the time to treat
other enemies. But whose first ambition
is to make friends of all other they have OPP
porunity and they able, will find with the wealth
of such friendship there will be added all the wealth
chat earth give and heaven approve Because the
gospel offers industrial peace, secure it. 1t is
worth the effort.

PROFIT GREATER
WITH 2-CENT LAW

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. "a
Figures furnished by the railroads of
Minnesota to the railway and warehouse
commission yesterday show that the z
cent passenger fare law actually has re-
suited in increased earnings for tho
roads.
Returns of passenger revenues for May
and June, the first two months in which
the new law was in effect, show an in
crease of one-siXth over the average
earnings for any two months in 1905,
except in the cases of three roads, the
500 Minneapolis and st. Louis and the
Great Western.
New Law Not Confiscatory.
The commission accepts the figures
furnished by the railways as proving that
the new law is not confscatory and on
this showing the state will rest its case
as to the 2-cent fare law.
Affidavits embodying the railroads fig
ures were served on attorneys for the
stockholders of the roads who are seek
ing injurctions against the operation of
the law Affidavits also were filed as to
the commodity rate law, showing that it
is not unreasonable or confscatory.
These are more complicated, but in their
summary show that the average rate
per ton per mile under the law will be
higher than the actual revenue per ton
per mile last year, not only in Minneso-
ia, but over the entire lines. These
facts are deducted from the companies
own showing.

A Surprise
Is I'enderesi

Saturday evening last, a very
pleasant surprise party was ten
dered Alex Lloyd by his many
friends among the younger set.
At 8 o'clock p. M, about twenty
couple congregated at the resi-
dence of F. P. Thompson, and
proceeded to the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Lloyd
carrying with them many good
things in the edible line. Mr..
Alex Lloyd was tlken very much
by surprise, but after q moment
extended to his guests hearty
welcome to take possession of
the house and enjoy themselves,
which they right royalty accept
ed. Games and music were in
dulged in until about 1890 when
the guests repaired to their re-
spective homes, after express
ing themselves, however, as
having had a most enjoyable
time.
A unique game was introduced
IN which the different partici-
pants were each given a stick Of
gum and at a given word they
We're required to start chewing
the gum and after getting it in
a suitable condition, were hand
ed tooth pick, and asked to
draw the image of a pig out of
the gum without touching it
with the hands. Mr.. C. w.
Garrison and Miss Hackerdorn
proved the most proficient in this
line and were awarded the royal
prize, which were burnt draw
ings on wood. We believe Char
ley had the advantage, being ac-
customed to the use of the stick,
having acquired this proficiency
in the RECORD Office. The BOBBY
prize was awarded to Alex
LLOYD.

progressing steadily in the Con-
dor Canyon and above the Del
niue ranch by the MendenhoPs,
and this work will, it is antici-
pated, be finished by the first of
September, when the full force
will be put to work in the flat

ishing up the two miles of new
grade, and also grading for
round house, depot, etc.
Engineer Mathews is in the
field with his party and camped
at the smelter, and will be there
until the road is finished. While
no time has been set for the COM
pletion of the road, as there is
only thirteen miles of rail yet to
be laid to complete the road from
Phoebe to Caliente, it is reason
able to expect the completion Of
the road by not later than the
first of October. and the rails
should be laid to the flat below
town by the middle of Septem-
ber.

Graders Near Pioche

Construction is going ahead as
rapidly as the present force is
able to do its work; much better
progress would and could be
made if it was not for the fact
that hands are very scare to get.
The rails are laid a mile and a
half above Panaca, and two
sidetracks have been put in at
the Panaca siding The con-
struction train makes daily trips
between Panaca and Caliente
and will continue to do so until
the road between these points is
ballasted and put in condition to
haul freight and passengers,
when it will be turned over to
the operating department. The
track is being ballasted from
Caliente out, about two miles
being completed, and it is ex-
pected that the road will be in
good enough shape to be turned
over to the operating department
by the first day of September,
when it is expected that traffic
arrangements will be made and

C.. E. Rives
Visits Phoebe

c. E. Rives, at one time man.
ager Of, and a large owner in
the Pioche-Nevada Mining Com
pany, operating at West Point,
came in from Los Angeles, We'd
nesday evening. Mr.. Rives was
agreeably surprised at the great
increase in activity shown in
Phoebe and believes that the old
town is coming to the front, just
exactly as his predictions were
made when conditions were not
so favorable as at present. At
that time it was so quiet that
the force of men returning from
the mine were won't to wager
as that they turned the corner
of Main and Lacour streets, not
a man would be seen on the
streets, and this was generally
considered a pretty safe wager.
Mr.. Rives has been living at
San Diego, California, for some
time past, for the benefit of his
health, which was very poor at
the time of his leaving Phoebe.
His appearance is evidence of
the fact that the change has
done him a great deal of good.
He is not prepared to state as to
his present plans, but believes
he will again make Pioche his
home.
