LANE, May 13:-After long
time farmers around here have gone
to work planting their crops. Ow'
ing to the bad weather and the low
plice of cotton they have ben very
much discouraged this season.
The Atlantic Coast Lumber Corp.

off their employees last Saturday,
which added considerable stimulus
to trade conditions locally.
Quite "a number of our young
people attended the commencement

We learned today that a large
lumber concern will soon erect an
extensive plant here for saving
lumber. Such enterprises are al
ways welcome.

PHILADELPHIA MAN At
TACKS THE DIVORCE
OF FORMER WIFE.

Sioux Falls, s. D., July So.-The di-
vorce colony is excited over a motion
to vacate and annul decree of divorce
obtained by Mrs. Elizabeth B. Reeves,
wife OF Harry l.. Reeves, a prominent
resident of Philadelphia.
Tne decree was granted at Canton,
August g. 1906. After obtaining the
divorce the plaintiff Immediately left
South Dakota, going to New York city,
where on August II, 1906, she was re-
married TO Edward Ritter Walls, a
prom inent contractor, of Philadelphia.
After the marriage the parties returned
20 Philadelphia. where they have since
and now are residing.
Arguments upon the motion to an
null the divorce are fixed for July 20
Before Judge Jones. Mr.. Reeves alleges
his wife had no grounds for divorce;
that she left her domicile in Pennsyl-
yaIlia and came TO South Dakota for
the sole purpose Of obtaining divorce
and of then returning to Philadelphia.
1t was because the plaintiffs in the
Bell, Streitwolf and Andrews cases left
the state as soon as the decree was
entered and returned to the state OF the
former domicile to reside that the
United States supreme court held that
the divorce judgments in these cases
were not entitled to extraterritorial
faith and credit, under the United
States constitution and laws. in other
states. # aE d.

was with her husband, who is en-

cided against the woman, as did the
commissioner OF the land office at

art, Of Deadwood, appealed the case to
Secretary Garfield personally and has
just been notified OF the decision that
will make an important precedent for
future cases. ~
