in this country for the Dakotas do
not by any means show the worst
records, the United States holds
the highest percentage of marri-
ages, based on the population and
the marriageable age, of any
country on the globe. This does
not mean that the contracting par
ties we're married in the United
States. The one million divorces
granted in this country from 1887
to 1906 does not mean that the
contracting parties were married
in this country. There we're
twelve million marriage licences
granted in the same time.
Children only figure in about
one-third of the divorce cases and
the decree in most of these is
granted to the wife.

NORTH DAKOTAN
MAY N Be EXECUTED
IMMIGRANT FROM HUNGARY RETURNED
FOR WIFE AND NOW UNDER
COURT MARTIAL,

St. Thomas, N. D., Nov. 27-A
very serious affair of international
import, has come to light in this
community recently. Last sum-
mer Stefan One, a young Hunga-
rian in the employ of John Van
Camp, went back to his native
country for his wife. Hungary,
like Germany, follows Ahe con-
script system of building up .
powerful army. Every male, un-
less physically incapacitated, must
give a certain number of years to
military duty. Ones term of SER
vice had not quite expired when
he immigrated to America. He
declared his intention of becoming
a citizen of the United States soon
after his arrival, and was urged
by his friends to take out his final
citizenship papers before return
ing to Hungary. This he neg
lected to do, thinking he would
not be known to the military au-
thorities. He returned, was rec
ognized, arrested, tried, and SEN
fenced to another term of con-
script duty. He managed to
evade the authorities, and aided
by friends, again started for
America, but was captured as he
was crossing the border. He is
now confined in a military prison,
awaiting court martial, and as
he is considered deserter by the
Hungarian government, the pen.
atty of his offense will undoubted.
ly be death by shooting. One
has succeeded in getting word tc
relatives in St. Thomas, explain.
ing the seriousness of his position,
but they are powerless to help
him. He is a quiet. Industrious
young fellow of marked intelli.
gence, and it is pitiable that he
should figure in one of the all toe
frequent tragedies of an eastern
monarchy. 1t is understood that
because the man is not a full citi-
zen of the United States, national
Intervention cannot be secured.

BIG CHANGE IN
POSTAL SYSTEM
POSTAL INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE
TO OFFER BILL MAKING M-
P0RIANT CHANGES.

Washington, Nov. 30-The four
offices of assistant postmaster gen.
eral will be abolished, q director
of posts with seven assistants pro-
vided for, and the entire postal
service of the United States divid-
ed into Is separate districts, if the
bill provided, for the revision of
the postal laws, which is being
prepared by the joint postal inves-
tigation commission of congress,
appointed two years ago, is passed
by congress. The commission,
which is composed of three sena-
tors and three representatives, has
been in session for the past week,
and by holding daily meetings ex-
pect to complete the work of pre-
pairing the bill this week.
It is claimed that a director of
posts, appointed to hold office un-
til removed for cause, and who
shall receive a high salary, will
tend to improve the service thro a
continuity of policies for the ben
eft of the postal service. BY pro-
viding for seven assistants to the
director of posts, the members OF
the commission believe that the
disadvantages due to frequent
changes, and the appointment OF
inexperienced men to the four Of
fees of assistant postmaster gen
eral, can be obviated. These as
sistant directors are, according to
the provisions of the bill, also to
hold Office during good behavior.
The postmaster general would con-
tinue as the executive head of the
department.

HOUSES -STOCKWELL'S LETTER

Bismarck, N. d., Nov. 27, 1908
To the County Superintendents
ard School officers of N. Dak.-
The Department is in receipt of a
letter from Prof. L. Il. Bailey,
chairman of the Commission of
Country Life, calling attention to
the fact that President Roosevelt
has suggested that on Saturday
December 5th., the farmers and
other people living in the country

tions on which the Commission is

ties where the township system of
organization obtains, join in the

1917 DIVORCE
CASES IN N. OAK
NINETEEN YEARS OF STATEHOOD FINDS
THAT NUMBER OF LEGAL
SEPARATIONS.

Interesting and startling statis-
tics, in relation to marriages and
divorces in the United States have
just been issued by the depart
ment of commerce and labor at
Washington.
The increase in the two Dako-
tas, as shown by the report, is
herewith given. In the year 1880,
the rate of divorce per 100000
population, in this state, was 46
and in 1900 it was 88. Divorces
granted in the counties comprising
the territory, have since 1889 been
apportioned as the counties are
now composed in tho states of
North and South Dakota.
South Dakota has always been
considered an easier place to Sc
cure divorce than this state, but
statistics show that it is only a
trihe ahead of North Dakota in
the number granted on the same
basis. In 1880 there were 48 de-
crees granted in the counties now
comprising South Dakota and in
1890 there were 95.
The totals granted from 1889 to
1906 in North Dakota are 4,317
and in the sister state ,1O8. 1t is
shown that wives obtain twice as
many DEGREES than the husbands;
the most common single ground
being desertion. Only one of
every eight got alimony on any
of the DEGREES. -... 3D..
The charge of adultary is the
next most common complaint on
the part of the husbands and the
wives bring complaint of cruelty.
There are but few of the total
number of the divorce cases con-
tested, fifteen per cent being the
exact percentage.
With this great rate of divorces

The Sewers

The city received word few
days ago that everything would be
satisfactorily arranged in few
days with the G.. N. regarding the
putting III of the city sewer main
on the G. N. Right-of-way. The
best route for the main sewer
cut diagonally across the G.
N. right-of-way. The engineer
employed by the city to make
sewer plans called upon the G. N.
officials in St. Paul recently and
showed them his plans. They
stated that, owing to improve
ments contemplated for next
spring they would need a few
slight changes. These changes
will be made and the city will let
the contract so work can be start
ed early in the spring.
