Pastures are suffering badly for
rain. and should the present weather
continue for two weeks longer, some
farmers will be compelled to dispose
of some Of their stock, as they have
not the pastures or feed to care for
more than half of what they have.

Episcopal S ate Convention.

Burlington, May 14.-The Episcopal
convention of the diocese of Iowa will
be held in Burlington May q to %.
Important church affairs will be dds
cussed and transacted by the conven-
tion. One very important thing which
ought to and may be discussed Is the
proposition to divide the diocese. The
present Jurisdiction OF Iowa is far too
cumbersome for one bishop to handle
alone. There is work in Iowa SUIT
ficient to give two bishops plenty to
do, and it is the hope OF leading
church men OF the state that some ac-
tion will be taken at the coming con-
vention looking to the establishment OF
q new diocese in the state.
Another important matter to be
considered by the convention is the
election Of delegates to the general
convention OF the church, which is to
be held In Richmond, Va, during three
weeks In October The general con-
vention meets every three years and
is the lawlmaking body of the, church.
This church gathering at Rfshmond
will be a, notable one, as 1t wila COM

mayed by Governments Declaration.
ST. Petersburg, Nov. 29--The declar-
alton of the government read by Pre-
mier Stolypin before the duma today,
was received with dismay by the oc-
toberists and constitutional democrats
and with open exaltation by the mem
bers of the right party. The Keynote OF
the address was a reiteration OF the
idea of the autocratic power of the en-
peror as a sole guarantee OF security
and welfare in an area OF disorder
The announcement also was made that
the duma is expected to take It's cue
from the administration in the matter
of legislation, and the premier outlined
what future legislation was expected.
He excoriated the radical parties as
fosterers of crime and sedition. ana
said that their excesses would no long
er be tolerated in Russia This state
ment was taken to show that the ad-
ministration looks with disfavor upon
any alliance between the Octoberists
and constitutional democrats.

HAS GRANTED 1000 DIVORCES.
Wisconsin Jurist Declares That They
Are RIGHT and Wholesome.

Appleton, Wis, Nov. 29-Declaring
that he had granted approximately
1000 divorces since he had been on
the bench, Judge John Goodland, at q
meeting of the Twilight club, declared
that divorces were right and whole
some and that of all he had given he
did not know of a half dozen that
should not have been granted.
MANY well-intentioned people,,
said Judge Goodland, lament the
growing practice of granting divorces.
Occasionally hear of divorce where
the facts were perverted and the de-
cree should not have been given, but
these are so few that they are hardly
worthy Of mention.
"I know that l am considered rather
easy in the matter of granting d1-
yorces. but l believe it Is wrong to
make a woman live with a drunken
and ouarrelsome husband, and in the
case of children it is wrong to cause
them to be reared in such an atmos-
phere.
"The divorce is not the evil; 1t Is
the conditions that lie back of It, |
don't believe in restricting divorces,
which are right and wholesome as
rule. but in bringing about reform In
the conditions which lead up to di-
vorce."

Fowl Making No Preparations.

Fowl Making NO preparations.
Philadelphia, Nov. 29.-Thomas Mar
tindale, merchant and sportsman. who
returned from the Maine woods few
days ago, wrote while at his camp his
annual weather observation. For two
seasons Mr.. Martindales winter prog
lnostication has been so wonderfully
accurate as to make him a genuine
weather prophet in the popular re-
gard.
II found four varieties OF wood
peckers, including the cock OF the
woods or great red headed woodpeck-
er, song sparrows. bluejays, red
breasted grosbills, chickadees. horned
owl, and moose birds.
"Altho the coves and dead waters
in and around the lake were frozen
over there were more ducks feeding In
the lake than l had ever seen at any
time before.
"a pair of grownup looms. with one
little one, were still there, and this
morning a large flock of wild geese
epassed over, going south.
T "Not a muskrat house was any
where to be seen, and the swamps and
bogs were comparatively free OF wa
ter.
"The beavers had not fixed their
dam up for winter, nor were they cut
ting down any trees for winter use.
Two trees were partly cut thru and
one completely severed, being all the
signs Of activity to be noted.
Il, therefore, from the result OF
these observations, venture to predict
that the coming winter will be mod
crate one"
