on a charge of manning, pleaded guilty

II Happened in North Dakota.


Nellie White was granted an abso-
lutte divorce from Ralph White. and
given the custody Of her two children
today, BY Judge Pollock. in the district
court Mrs. White sued for divorce on
the grounds of habitual drunkenness,
unlxind treatment and non-support
She also alleged that her husband was
addicted to gambling.
The case started yesterday and was
finished at noon today. Mrs. White and
her two small daughters all took the
stand and gave testimony detrimental
to Mr.. White. In passing sentence
Judge Pollock stated that no woman
but an angel could have stood Mr.
Whites conduct and that angels were
few and far between at this stage OF
North Dakota's development, and said
that it undermined the foundations OF
society more than did drinking.
A pathetic feature of the case were
the two daughters OF the Whites. After
giving their testimony they were ex-
cused from the judges chambers and
during the remainder Of the trial they
played about the corridors of the
courthouse, their childish minds un-
heedful 70 the breach between their

Always . FalIure.

RrOhlbltlOn is as old as the hills.
The Jews prohibited the teachings Of
Christianity. The Christians, in turn,
prohibited the teachings Of the Jews,
and, becoming emboldened, prohibit
ed the teachings of heretics and in
fdels. Prohibition has been a fail
ure, so far as religion is concerned,
through all ages. Luther could not
teach his peculiar doctrines in his
country on account of prohibitory
laws. He was compelled TO flee. Cal
win was compelled 10 flee 10 Geneva
on account of prohibitory laws, where
he in time became a prOhibitionist.
The religion of our Pilgrim Fathers
was prohibited I'm England so they
were compelled TO come to America
where they prohibited the teachings
OF the Quakers. After burning in
Vulnerable witches at the stake, they
gave up prohibition as a bad job. But
their children seem to have inherited
a spirit of prohibition. and after look
ing around awhile, fixed their gaze on
RUM. For years they have been try
ing TO prohibit the use Of the article,
and for years they have been unsuc-
cessful. There is more whisky drank
now than ever before in the history
of the world. The fact is that so long
as man loves freea1m and independ-
ence, just so long will he eat, drink
and think as he pleases The sooner
prohibitionists make up their minds
to this fact, the sooner they will find
that which they are now seeking: a
decrease in the liquor traffic-Atchison

A Strange Combination.

There is no question, but that there
Is. in this community as in most others,
a lawless element which halls the pos
aible passage Of this law with delight
and welcomes its consequent Reign of
Terror with wide open arms.
The doubts of its efficiency the diff
flculties OF detection and conviction
and the immense profits i'm dispens-
ing dangerous liquid stimulants will
make them take a chance
These voters to-day, who are evil
enough to run a speakeasy under the
local option law but who cannot do
It now because OF the splencid police
power of a well regulated traffic con-
Quoted by law abiding citizens whose
legitimate interests would be jeopar-
dized by criminal competitions; these
evil voters will all vote for this local
option law. 1t gives them a new study
in viciousness. So that we have the
anomalous or pafadoXical condition OF
people ostensibly wishing for temper
ance and abstinence being political
bed fellows of the most degraded OF
intending law breakers.
The heeler will reap a golden har-
vest and the substantial capitalist and
tax payer will be crippled and in some
instances financially ruined. And thi:
class of evil law breakers will was
fat and rich and will become a power
for wickedness in politics, both muni-
cipal and state. This is perhaps VIII,
some city officials in Maine never know
of the existence Of speaIeasies in theil

jackson, June 12.--There is no doubt
that an organized effort is going to be
made to have the State redeem the
So, 500 900 of Planters and Union Bank
bonds repudiated by the constitution
makers. The advance courier isalready
on the ground, and he is fortified with
wealth of literature bearing on the
subject. Tracts and pamphlets and
circulars galore are being supplied
from some abundant source outside
the State. Somebody is spending some
money, and no picayunish sum, either,
IN the dissemination of this literature,
and it is stated that goodly amount
will be put in circulation in the cause.
It is to be presumed the holders of the
bonds are putting up the cash-going
on the theory that nothing ventured
nothing is made. They can well at
ford to spend one million for eight and
a half millions.
From what can be learned here al
this time the scheme is a gigantic one
involving not only the redemption O
the bonds on a long time contract, bu
the bond-holders propose to make the
proposition one OF great interest to th'
State-even to i.he extent of guaran
