BARRIE'S DIVORCE SUIT.

Action Of Novelist Oramatist a Sur
prise to His American Friends.
IF two people love each other
neither has any right to give the other
up" are words put by James M. Bar
RE into the mouth of one Of his char
acters. The recent appearance Of the
novelist's name as petitioner for
divorce seems to belle the sentiment,
If it is really his and not that Of his
character. -
Mr.. Barrie was married In 1894 to
Miss Mary Ansell, the actress, who
appeared in his first play, "Walker
London" which was produced seven
teen years ago.
The news Of his divorce suit came
as a great shock to persons in Amer
lea who have personal acquaintance
with the Scotch author. The idea Of
divorce in connection with the author
Of "When a Mans Single" seemed in
congruous and painful. .y...
Mrs. Barrie has appeared little In
public life. After her marriage she
retired from the stage. Since then
they have always appeared to be
most devoted couple. They had no
children, but they adopted Miss Pau
line Chase in place Of daughter Of
their own.
The wonderful grasp Of feminine
character which Mr.. Barrie had shown
in his books and plays has always
been supposed to have been inspired
in some degree by his perfect agree
ment with his wife.

NORTH DAKOTA SHEAF TELLS
or LABORs OF ARcHDEAcoN
IN THIS FIELD.
Has Been Granted Temporary Leave
of Absence, Rut VIII Continue to
Make His Home in Bismarck.

The North Dakota Sheaf, official
organ of the Episcopal diosease OF
North Dakota, in the last issue or that
paper, pays neat complement to
DR.. O. F.. Jones, who for five years
has been rector of st. Georges Epls-
copal church, and archdeacon of the
church for seven Of the western coun-
ties. Rev. Jones has been granted
a temporary leave Of absence from
church work, and his friends will be
pleased to know that he will remain
in Bismarck The Sheaf says:
"The resignation by Archdeacon
Jones of his charge of Bismarck and
Mandan and the adjacent territory,
should not be passed by without some
thankful acknowledgment of his SER
vices and accomplishments in North
Dakota.
"He came here in October, 1901, to
take the rectorship of the Church of
the Advent at Devils Lake. During
the five years of his residence there
the church building was improved
and received valuable furnishings.
ALSO he did large work in the
various Missions along the. line of
the Great Northern railway, DOth east
and west. To his efforts are due the
church at York and the rectory at
Lakota.
"His resident at Bismarck was
marked by the construction of tho
fine rectory there-entirely paid for
through his efforts, and mainly b.
the gifts of his friends outside the
paris.
His Oversight of Mandan resulted in
great improvements of the church at
that place.
"And, while he he was in this field
all the expenses of maintenance we're
met by contributions from the field.
1T is record of which Mr.. Jones
may be justly proud, and for which
the district Of North Dakota is truly
grateful"

of the Indian reservation openings,
and President l.. w. Hill, of the
Great Northern are engaged in what
seems an unfortunate controversy,
arising from Mr.. Hills statement at
the dry farming congress, criticising
the policy of the government in it's
purposes of registration. Mr.. Hill at
the same time said the Great North
ern would be willing to refund the
fares that had been paid to it's road
by persons who came west to file,
and Judge Witten promptly says he
will furnish the Great Northern with
a list of those who filed at Kalispell
if the Great Northern cares to make
the refund. Now President Hill says
if Mr.. Witten will get legal permis-
sion to make the refund-and attend
to some other details-the road
will make good in it's refund.
We do not know of any
law authorizing railroad company,
in the present policy of square deal
to all patrons of a road, to refund
fares to anybody. So it is not likely
there will be any refund made. There
are a good many people who do
not admire the government method
of distributing lands, on the ground
that it gives a greater chance to the
people living in the vicinity of the
lands, and is hardship to those nv-
ing at a great distance. 1t might be
possible to open the land as other
land Is thrown open to settlement,
through filings at various land offices,
and this plan has been tried, but the
inevitable scramble that has resulted
led to the adoption of the lottery
plan. We think it is probable that
before another reservation is opened,
some substantial change will be made
in the method now in use. One news
paper suggests that persons all over
the United States be permitted to
file at their county seats-and that
to prove good faith they make de-
post of $50 to 800 when they file.
In the event they draw claim, this
money will apply on the payment and
fees. In the event they do not, the
money will be refunded. We think
the present plan of registration, with
the addition of cash payment with
the registration, would be better
than the present system. It would
show good faith, and nobody would
risk a cash sum of 500 unless he
rea tnilleydne hideeN Bora u shr
really intended to live on whatever
claim he might win. It is not at all
creditable to a great number of peo-
pie who filed that they did so purely
out of speculative impulse, and
without any intention of taking
claims unless they happened to draw
one of the first numbers. This is
not the intention of the law, and Is in
violation of the spirit of the affidavit
required of every person who regis
tered. The requirement of cash
deposit, not to be refunded in case
the applicant drew a claim, would
pretty largely shut out the specula-
tors.

in the darkness. It is Senator H. j.
Bessesen of Wells county whom the
Herald put forth as an available can
didate for governor, and it thinks the
Wells county sage would sweep the
boards. The Herald alluded to Mr..
Bessesen's long public service, his
fidelity to principle, as proven by his
gallant fight for the anti-pass law at
the last. session, and his passage of
the social purity bills as points in
his favor. The Herald thus sets
forth what 1t considers Senator Bes-
sesen's chief qualifications:
In looking over the states most
available material for position, what's
the matter with State Senator Henry
J .Bessesen of Harvey? He has a
wide experience as law enforcer
during his two terms at states at
torney, and he has been found to be
absolutely honest and upright and
strictly loyal to his public trust.
While an ardent republican and OF
known legal ability, he is above all
absolutely without a string, being
free from all alliances, and fearless
in performance of public duty. Dur
ing the last session Of the state leg.
islature he stood bravely by his con-
victions and the party platform, in
introducing and working for an anti
pass bill, and in refusing to accept
or use any passes whatever. OF the
most important bills passed at this
session were the Social Purity Laws:
