SCORES DIVORCE.
Wants Marriage a Religious Rather
Than a Civil Institution. 4..

Albany, n. Y, March 31.-The evils
of divorce was pointed out yesterday
by Bishop Doane of the Albany Epis-
copal diocese at the Young Woman's
Christian association OF Albany. He
said he believed in greater uniform
ity among the states In the matter OF
legislation commended the work OF
the American Bar association in try
ing to make divorce more difficult,
but declared he was opposed to .
national divorce law. 5
THAT the laws regulating marriage
should me more strict is, I believe,
true" he said in part. 1.-The hope Of
curing American danger of facile and
frequent divorce lies In two things
first, constant religious teachings as
to the ,sacredness Of marriage. al "a
the fact sthat It ~ not simply q civil
contract With which the court have
to do, but holy estate with which
the Christian church has to do, and
that its very fundamental conditions,
alike in ito institution and In our
Lords reamrmAton Of the institution,
the union OF one man with one Wo-
man till death do them part; and the
second important element Of hope Iies
IN tho power q social influence.

new Land OFFICE SOON
PROSPECTIVE ESTABLISHMENT
OF NEW LAND OFFICE AT
MARNIARTH.
PARTS OF MONTANA AND PART
OF NORTH DAKOTA INCLCD
ED IN NEW DEAL.

Washington, D. c., April Rep
resentative Hanna has announced the
prospective establishment of a new
land Office district in southwestern
North Dakota, to be known as the
Marmarth district.
The proposed district will embrace
part Of Montana and that part of
North Dakota now included in the
Lennon land Office district of South
Dakota. A part Of the Dickinson Of
fee will also be added to the Mar
marth district should the plans of the
North Dakota congressional delega-
ton 60 through.
The Montana congressional delega-
ton is to be consulted, and If an
agreement can be reached the neces-
sary bill will be drawn at once and
urged at the next regular session Of
congress.
The patronage. Of the. Marmarth Of
fee is to be shared mutually, each
state naming one officer. Thousands
of farmers will be benefited by the
change, as the distance to the Dick
inson and Lennon land Offices
means more than 100 miles travel to
a majority of homesteaders Of south
western North Dakota.

Washington, April 1.-Senator
Johnson of North Dakota, Senator
Cummins of Iowa, Senator Crawford

McCumber Of North Dakota has an
Office in the new building, but Nc

farmers in his locality, who have the
money, and get his loan at to per
cent. Everybody is satisfied, and the
transaction simplified. The farmer
prefers this to putting his money in
the local bank at or 3 per cent, to
be lent back again. AS a result the
country banks are sending loans
to the cities in search of commercial
paper, while farmers, to a general
extent, are doing a banking business.
This abundance Of money is one of
the healthiest signs that I see in the
west"
So spoke James J. Hill On his re-
turn from the financial quarter, after
a months stay in St. Paul. When
Mr.. Hill was asked for his views on
the situation, he said:
There is steady but moderate
improvement in business. The bust
ness of the country is thawing out
from the great frost which struck it
in 1907 and which continued in 1908.

The streams and rivulets are begin
and I do not believe that there will
be return to the panic condition.
Zone of the great things hanging
over the country is of the enormous
expenditure, not merely federal, but
state and municipal, and the conse-
quent effort to produce revenues to
meet the expenditure. Economy in
government should be the watch
word.
For years our people have been
like an heir come into vast and
wealthy estate. We have been vast
ing and squandering the great inher-
itance which providence provided.
"And, worst of all, in our prodigal-
ity, We have been unable to distin-
guish between income and liquida-
ton. We cannot plant coal and cop
per and iron, nor can we restore fer
tility to lands that have been worked
to death.
''Last year we spent $500, 900, 900.
Where did it come from? Agricul-
ture. That was the real income. 1t
is the mainstay of our prosperity. To
conserve and increase the productive
ity of our soil and to conserve the
unsquandered portions of our great
estate are objects which should be
kept constantly before the mind.
"With the recovery from the cOndf-
ton which prevailed in 1907 and
1908 fairly under way, the future is
full of hope. The experience was Sc
we're to all the country, but I believe
we have come out of it with more in
telligence concerning national affairs
and in stronger and better shape
than ever before"

AUGUST WAS
 AVERAGE MONTH
 SAYS JENNINGS

The report of Volunteer Weather Observer Jennings for the meteorlog- 1cal conditions of the city of Bridge port for the month of August, shows 1t to have been an average month in every respect. Thunder storms, how ever, were not very much in evidence, only two being reported for the month.
 The mean temperature for the past 37 years has been 69.9, and for the past month it was 69. The maximum tenn perature in that period was 98 and this year 93, while the minimum was AS degrees against a minimum of 45 when in August, 1908, the mercury slipped the farthest down the tube in 37 years. Last Tuesday was the cold est day of last month while the Sth and 9th were the hottest
 As for the rain, there was little, the wind for the most part having come from the southwest. 359 inches mark ed the total precipitation, the rainest day having been the 16th, when 167 inches fell. Over half the month con- sisted of clear days, 10 were partly cloudy and five had to be put down as real cloudy. On the 10th and 29th a thunder storm appeared.
 The barometer was pretty steady throughout the month. An average of 5000 inches being maintained A drop to 29.44 inches occurred on the 18th, and a rise to S0.37 inches on the Sd.

A few evenings since, at the pavil- ion at the beach, Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Frank s. Child gave a supper party in honor of Miss Ruth Child.

Nature Sometimes Makes Mummies.

Nature Sometimes Makes Murmies. Natural mummifcation, the chang ing of the human body into dried condition without artificial treatment, IS an extremely rare phenomenon. In case reported by Hon. S. Wolffsohn of British Honduras, middle aged cooly who disappeared between Jan uary and March, 1907, was found more than year afterward, on May 6, 1908, In corrugated iron hut as a perfect ly preserved mummy. The hut, in somewhat isolated spot at Sibun, was raised on blocks four or five feet above the ground and had a door and three shutters, one shutter being open, while one had fallen out. The body was clothed in a cotton underskirt, dark jersey and duck trousers, two pieces of rope around the neck proving self strangulation. The desiccation seem ed to have been favored by combina- tion of conditions, the season having been extraordinarily dry and the small iron house excessively hot, though well ventilated, while the body was thin and attenuated as result of menta, disorder.

Very Misleadinq.


 Battersby came across this interest ing item in the household department: FtIf men would answer their wives kindly and courteously when asked for money it is undoubtedly true that the amount requested would not be half as much as it would be if the husbands reply was surly and antag- onistic.''
 Battersby read this item over twice to make sure he grasped it's meaning, and just then his wife entered the room.
 George" she said, T want some money"
 Battersby smiled affably.
 'Yes, my dear" he pleasantly re- marked, "and how much do you want?"
 Mrs. Battersby stared at him in amazement.
 'I said I wanted some money" This time she spoke with much dis tinctness.
 And I asked you how much you wanted" Battersby merrily reminded her.
 Fifty dollars" she snapped Battersby almost tainted. He had imagined she was after $5 and that his genial tone would cut the amount to $2.5O.
 But he handed over the fifty with out further ado-and then tore the item into infinitesimal fragments. Plain Dealer.
