SUIT FOR DIVoRCE-An action for divorce was begun in district court yesterday by Ronald w. Smith against Christina Smith on the ground of abandonment The parties were married in Boston twenty-six years ago. Thep separated on the other end of the continent, Terminal Island. four years ago.
 NOT GOING ABROAD-The Osborn correspondent of The Republican had heard that Dave Turner was going to return to his old home in England, which he left sixty years ago. Noth- ing is farther from the thoughts of MT. Turner. He is going to keep on raising the best roses that have ever been produced in the Salt river valley, and he may be found at that occupa- ton at any time.
 VIoLATORS OF THE EDMUNDS ACT-Candelario Doremy and Josefa Ranjel were before Commissioner Johnstone yesterday charged with adultry. the complaint having been sworn to by daughter of the woman. The testimony against Doremy was
 
 close of the examination she was dis charged. Doremy was held to the United States grand jury in the sum of $500.
 HE WAS NOT A CANDIDATE was stated yesterday morning that Al bert Ryan, the organizer for the West ern Federation of Miners, who killed two men at Los Angeles on Friday, had been a socialist candidate for delegate to congress from this territory. That statement was an error Ryan had never been a candidate for any office. At one time he was somewhat promi- nent in socialist politics in this terri tory and elsewhere in the west, but he devoted himself more particularly to the affairs of the federation.
 WANTS $5,o0o-T. B. Furth yes terday brought suit in district court against the & F. PR P. railroad for damages in the sum of 5000 on ac- count of the alleged misconduct of Conductor Frank Woods. The com Plainant states that on the train be- tween Ash Fork and Phoenix on July ,. the conductor assaulted and beat him to his great physical pain and humiliation in the presence of the rest of the passengers in the car The plaintiff was in the employ of the Pioneer Consolidated Transfer com pany engaged in the selling of con- fectionery, fruits and such literature as is dispensed on railroad trains. The cause of the assault is not set forth in the complaint. It is per haps co-incidental that the sum ask ed for by MT. Furth is precisely the amount turned down by Al Kauff- man., offered by the fight promoters of Ely, New, for a bout with Ketchel. When MT. Furth attains the repu- tation of Kaufman, he, too, will probably distain so small sum as the losers end.
 IGNORANT OF THE LAW-Ben Marshall who has been in the public eye to his disadvantage, quite ire quently for the last year took lick ing yesterday because he thought the law compelled him to do so; he felt that he was handicapped by a peace warrant which was directed against

 VISITOR FROM MAINE J. M. Dennis of the Dennis Lumber company of Maine, Ariz., has been spending a few days with his sister, Mrs. Gordon Shoff, on Sixth and Mckinley streets. MT. Dennis speaks favorably of the northern part of the territory, saying that the business interests there are better than they have been for several years. He likes the weather of Phoe- nix.
 TALK ABOUT MELoNS-J. l.. Hicks, living two miles north and one mile east on the Park road, drove up in front of The Republican office yes terday afternoon with the largest load of watermelons ever brought into the city. The office force was invited to the wagon and requested to pick out the largest melon of the bunch, which, when weighed, tipped the scales at fif- ty pounds. One little newsie remarked thuswise: You may talk about your watermelons. but Oh, you Hicks" If Phoenix could claim i" Hicks that could wizard the weather and melons, too, there would be no limit to her pros perity.
 CHAUTAUQuA SEASON TICKETS General A. J. Sampson recently wrote from Los Angeles, where he and Mrs. Sampson are spending the sum- mer, asking if it was too late for him to buy Chautauqua season tickets. He was informed that it was not too late yet However, all who desire to get one or more of the Chautauqua season tickets at the reduced price of 8 for the nine great events would do well to engage them soon as the number at that price is limited Later they will have to pay $4 for a season ticket. Every one who expects to at tend even a part of the entertain ments should buy a season ticket, as it will admit to all of them for a price that would only admit a few at the single admission rate. These tickets are transferable and will ad- init any one who presents them. A. L. Higgins, 6O2 N. 2nd St. Phoenix, Ariz., if addressed in the matter. will turn orders over to one of the busi- ness men of Phoenix who have the tickets for sale.

Being asked give brief definition of Christianity it
is reported that Lyman Abbott replied: Character The
definition may be believed in by Lyman Abbott, but mil
lions will not accept it. At best it could be but an ideal
thought and not practical result Christianity has never
considered character worthy of oeraton unless was
accompanied by blind belief and submissive faith For
centuries the church has taught and the church still teaches
and is reasonable suppose that the church will continue

When Lyman Abbott urged that the church must meet
the needs of the world" if it expects to succeed III the
twentieth century, he admitted by implication and infer
ence that hitherto the church had both failed and refused
to meet the worlds needs fact known to every thinking
man and woman The church has minstered to
human wants and needs but has persiseny demanded
that humanity should furnish the needs and wants of the
church on pain of eternal amnaon in another world and
social neglect in this world When the church can bring it
self to really meet human needs it will not be Christian
but Humanitarian and then it will longer be the church

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.

The farmers of Beltrami county who have
always devoted their fields to cereals are
rapidly awakening to the Importance and
profit of diversified farmers
Hundreds of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Indiana farmers are coming into this sec
ton and MAKING GOOD" 1t is well
known that diversified farming insures the
tiller of the soil at least good return every
year, to predict that this system of farm
ing, coming gradually into vogue as it has,
will prove the general within a compare
lively short time
Land can be purchased in this county
from $500 to $500 per acre. according
to improvements and location as to mar
kets
To the man who has devoted his life to
either farming or the raising of live stock
the import of these figures are plain. They
prove beyond doubt that the soil of Bel
trami county will produce anything which
will flourish in a temperate zone, and
that the yield which rewards the husband
man is enriching and unfailing.

orous clay subsoil which penetrates, in
some places, to the astonishing depth of
eighteen feet?
And pray, where will you find, outside
of Minnesota, land to compare with Bel
trami county land either for productive
possibilities or remunerative results?
We answer nowhere.
AS the question magnifies before us, as
indeed it must before all who give the
problem their earnest thought the farm
lands of this county are likened unto the
everglades of Florida or the dense forests
of the extreme northwest-which are in
calculably rich in rare woods and timber,
but which, up to a few years ago, compare
lively speaking, were never given the con-
sideraton their value demanded.
Beltrami county farm land has never
been estimated at it's true worth. Even the
farmers who have earned competence in
this county have but recently awakened
to the inordinate value of the lands with
In their domain. Every farmer in the coun-
ty is and always has been prosperous,
whether he be renter or owner, and this
fact perhaps explains why the average
Betrami county farmer has never eXerted
himself to ascertain or speculate upon the
true worth of his holdings Coming here,
as most of our farmers did, with but
small or nominal sum of money, they were
blessed with bounteous crops, and they
never weighed the question whether their
prosperity was derived from their methods
of farming or whether the beneficient hand
of Dame nature had been instrumental in
enriching them. This being conceded, the
average farmer in Beltrami county re
manned in the same old groove until the
agricultural richness of even his own piece
of land forced itself upon him, and today
there is not farmer in the country who
can lay claim to more fertile and prolific
piece of land than is to be found in Bel
trami county Thus it is that we come be-
fore the farming world and request that
they investigate Beltram county before
deciding to take up land elsewhere.

TO YOUNG MEN.

Are you married or single?

ference.
Beltrami county offers you the most in
ductive chances you will ever bump against
Here we have water, and timber-a world
of both-skirted by railroads representing
both branch and transcontinental lines, ex-
haustive notice of which will be found in
the city article of this edition.
The Great Northwest has for years been
the Mecca for young home-seekers, owing to
its unlimited resources in the way of farm
ing, cattle raising, water power, timber
and mineral wealth. Today development is
still in its incipiency, and there are mil
lions of promising openings for the young
people who will vie with the elder who
have already earned competence in this
beneficent sphere.
The Pioneer does not attempt, in this
article, to elaborate upon the multitudinous
openings offered to the newcomers to
Beltrami county, but it does most en-
phatically declare that the young man or
couple who decide to make their home
here, will not be disappointed, nor fall
short of their most ardent realizations
Here we have healthful and invigorating
climate, work for all, an annual golden
harvest, an abundance of timber which
means cheap fuel and comfort when the
Hoar Frost is thick upon the window pane;
where scenery and good fishing and hunt
ing are to be had to surfeit; where the
people are congenial and law-abiding, sub
stantial generous and progressive; where

come vigorous and give a commensurate
yield, and, in short, as we have hereto
fore asserted, land that will we'll war
