point to the experience of South Da-

evils of lax divorce laws before a re-
peal was secured, and say that the
moralists of Nevada have an equally
stubborn task before them. But Me-
vada is cleaning house. In the last
session of the Legislature, after gam
ing being permitted for 40 years with
cognizance of law, a bill abolishing
gambling was passed-the act to take
effect in November of 1910-and it is
believed that If that could be done,
the slack divorce laws can be more
easily repealed.

JEB STUART'S LAST BATTLE.
Confederate cavalryman Gives Thrill
ing Account of Gen. Custer's
Charge at Wilderness.

At reunion in Richmond some one
asked an old confederate cavalryman
what was his most thrilling memory
of the war of the rebellion. The New
York Sun records his reply.
1T was near the beginning of what
historians now call the Wilderness
campaign" he began. Il was with
Jeb Stuart, Gen. Fitz Lees division,
Wickham's brigade, and Phil Sheri-

pack of hungry wolves, nipping us
at every turn.
I'VE had been marching and fight

weeks with little rest. We left Han

night and reached Yellow tavern be-
fore ten o'clock the next morning. We
hadn't more than halted at the tav-
ern when up came Sheridan to drive
us out.

hand fight, and we fell back from the
tavern, but held our position on the
telegraph road leading to Richmond.

left wing, and it was about two
o'clock in the afternoon when orders
came for the whole division, except

but hold our positions.

in the saddle, to stretch out on the
ground and take smoke. There was
Just one pipeful among that whole
battery, and the boy who owned it
passed it down the line, and each man
took his turn putting at it.
1T wasn't long before some fellow
wished for a drink of water. You
know how it is, when one man wishes

to die of thirst; so Jack Saunders and

grunt of surprise. He was staring
through the trees.
There, only a few hundred yards
away, was a considerable body of cav
airy. Making sure that it was our
right wing, l wondered to see them
mounted and in ranks. Just then the
voice of an officer rang out:
Cavalry! Attention! Draw saber!'
THE entire line moved forward at
quick walk, and as the officer
wheeled his horse, 1 saw his face. 1t
was Custer!
The situation came to Saunders
and me like flash. He threw down
the canteens and started back to the
battery on a dead run.

But everything comes to him that waits, and
when the people of South Dakota arose in their
wrath last November and, by referendum vote,
declared that any one who desired to get di-

Journey westward to Nevada, where it takes but
q six months residence to be in position to go
before the courts of the state plaintiff in
divorce suit
W. H. Schnitzer, Reno divorce specialist, has
written treatise divorce practice and pro-
cedure in which he throws Illuminating ray
on the wherefore of the popularity of Reno as
divorce center. He says.
while the laws of the eastern and middle
western states generally contain some provision
for the dissolution of the marriage tie, 1t is OBJ
vous to the reader that in cases where extreme
cruelty deserton, and failure to provide form the
basis of the grievance, the law in such states Of
fers substantial relief to the aggrieved party,
because the requirements of proof duration OF
offense, corroboration of plaintiff and procedure
under court rules are so eXacting and irksome
that the desired relief sought by the applicant is
rendered impossible of attainment. Summing up
the situation as it exists in the eastern states
respecting the domestic relation law, the client
when consulting local counsel is almost invar-
ably advised that upon the facts submitted he or
she is without remedy. Here in Nevada the ap-
plicant, without deception fraud upon
almost any cnafBe from Wnlcn lack OF harmonious
relations may be reasonably inferred, may apply
to our courts and secure prompt results by de-
cree of absolute divorce, valid and binding in
law"
While there are about 54 cases now on the
docket OF the district court, there are in Reno
to-day over $50 individuals establishing resi-
dence for divorce purposes, majority of whom
are women.
The charms of Nevada as a divorce center
have only just begun to percolate into the con-
sciousness of the outside world.
Reno has no objection to the present status
of affairs 1t is estimated that the revenue of the
town from the divorce colony at present is close

TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 8.-Two i'm
portant questions affecting the schools
Of the state have been decided by the
attorney general in opinions which he
has rendered to the superintendent of
public instruction. They were ques-
tions that had vexed the department
of education for long time.
Some time ago Superintendent Alley
asked the attorney generals office for
an opinion on the question of how
much should be charged by high schools
of the various cities of the state for
pupils transferred to them from the
schools Of other townships. Prior to
the session of the legislature last win
ter there was a law which said that
the transfer charges collected by the
receiving township or city from the
township that sent in a pupil should
be $3.50 a month for each pupil sent to
the graded schools and 50 a month for
each pupil sent to a high school These
figures were used generally because the
law provided that the transfer fees
should not be above those figures.
But the legislature OF 1909 changed
this. It passed a law which provided
that the transfer fees should be equal
to the per capita cost of educating the
pupils transferred, but that such trans
fer charges should not be more than
$3.50 a month for the graded schools

use of primers. The law stated that
the books adopted by the state board
of schoolbook commissioners should be
used uniformly throughout the state
The attorney general gives It as his
opinion that the new law passed by
the Legislature last winter amending
the schoolbook law makes 1t optional
with the schools boards of the various
cities whether or not they use primers
in their schools, but that whenever a
board decides to use primers it must
use the primers adopted py the state
board of schoolbook commissioners.
This applies to all cities of 5000 popu-
3ation or over, except Indianapolis.
which is governed by a separate law
which applies only to cities having a
population of more than 100000 In
this city the books are selected by the
school superintendent. and he may or
may not choose to use primers, as he
sees fit

and not more than 81 a month for high
school pupils.
When cities throughout the state be-
gan to charge at the new rate of $3.50
and 81 there was a general complaint
from towns hips everywhere. The town
ship trustees who sent pupils to the
city schools insisted that inasmuch as
the transfers were made last fall when
the old law was still in force the trans
fer charge for the school year should
be governed by that law and should
not be above $3.50 and 81 The cities.
however, said that the new law re-
pealed the old one, that the transfer
was not a matter of contract between
the city and township, and that. there
fore, the charge should be madz at the
new rate.
It was also shown that the cost of
educating the transferred pupils was
far above the old transfer figures. 1t
was shown that in Indianapolis it costs
more than 81 per capita a month to
educate high school pupils In fact.
in all of the larger cities of the state
such as Fort Wayne South Bend, Rich
mond. Terre Haute, Muncie, Hammond
and the rest, it is said that the per
capita cost runs all the way from IS
to 81 a month, and still even the new
law does not permit the cities to col
lect more than 81 a month for educat-
ing the pupils transferred to their
schools. It was pointed out that this
was an injustice to the cities because
their taxpayers were obliged to pay
nearly one-half of the cost of educat-
ing children sent in from other town
ships 1t was shown that 1t would be
even greater hardship on the cities
If they were obliged to return to the
old transfer rates of $3.50 and So a
month
So the attorney general was asked
for an opinion on the question and he
held that the rates fixed by the new
law were the rates in force and that
these should be collected
The other question on which he gave
an opinion was with reference to the
use Of primers in schools of cities hay-
ing a population of 1000 or more Some
of the old schoolbook laws appeared
to be in conflict with each other on
the use of primers. Some of the au-
thoritfes were of opinion that these
cities were obliged to use primers in
the primary grade and that they were
obliged to use the primers chosen by
the state board of schooIbook commits
sioners. Others contended that the cit
les had to use primers but that they
could adopt their own. Stin others in
