Under the statute divorees must be_ denied upon showing con- nivance, recrimination or lmitation and lapse of time. When a divorce is granted for adultery the party ugainst whom it is granted cannot remarry until the death of the other parly. A decree cannot be granted unless the plaintiff has been in *‘good faith)’ a resi- dent of the state for ninety days, and that is just where the attractive foaiuro comes in. Other states require a year. In vast years Yankton, at one time the carital of the territory, was the rendeziols for the ninety-day colony. Alth ugh a large number of divorces were grauted, you by consent thoy were kopt vary quiet and the fact of the axistonce of the easy laws passed unnoticed except by those personally inter- ested. The usual proceedure for applicants com- ingz here is to put up at a boarding he stop here for ninety days, be divorce, obtain sorvice upon defen A publication in some uewspaper 1 the state, after making affiaavit that the whereabouts of the defendant was unknown; then after waiting seventy-two days longer to go be- fore the judge, prove up his case us he would atree clonm, file the decree and then take train to his former lace of residence, Speaking of the law, C.

There ure cases in Which the purtics have come here, registored at a hotel. then left the state and not re- turned until the nivety days had elapsed, To be sure the coastitution of the Umted States provides that each state shall give full faith and eredence to the judginents of other tes. The almost universal bolding, bhow- ever, of the various courts of the country is that 'when jurisdiction is obtained by fraud it amounts to no jurisdiction, and tho judg- ment is a nullity.” 1f parties desiring to come to this city and tako up their permanent res- fdence here in good faith and not simply for the purpose of obtaining divorces, service m that case, oven by publication, would be per- fectly valid and the decree sound.” Waiting f heir Decrecs. Of the members of the One Hundred and Three, as Mrs. J. G. Blaine, jr., uniquely cailed the divorce colony the other day, Madame De Stuers is certainly the most at- tractive, and while sho 18 known to only a fow in the ity she is decidedly in the lead so far as sociul position is concerned. Her husband is Baron De Stuers of Belgium, and 15 now acting as minister to France for his small but vigorous country, Tho madawme is an American, and the marriage, which took pluce nearly teu years ago, was the crowniug event to the Astor family. Her uame was Miss Cavey. ‘The causo which led madame to seok separation from her husbaud is the cruelty the buron exercised in his position us Often he would hurl invec uld shock madame who, after f these family scenes, left for some watering resort on the continent und created a scusation. She is accomparied heve by William Elliot Zborowskie, the lover of her childhood days, and they have just pur- chased & magnificent residence where the madame will reside in the future, She 1s determined to get her divorce come what may. Her three children are with the baron. Mus, J. G. Blaine, jr., takes life casy. Her story is known to the world, She lives ina veat cottage, huving leased it for a vear, and her four-year-old son, Jimmie the Third, and her sister, Miss Annio Nevius, are with her. \ Thero hos of 1ato sprung up' & coldness of fecling botween Mune, DeStuer und Mrs, Blaine, If the stories are to be belioved. Tho maaame blames Mrs, Blaine with haying caused sevorul articles to appear in New York papers about the Astor family ana madame's troubles and love affaws. But this cannot be so, for Mrs. Blaine is too il to do much gossiping, and her own troubled and unfortunute allisnce has caused enough talk. There is somo talk bere that Mrs, Blaiuo will not secure her divorco, but that 18 not credited, und Judge Palmer’ declares that thero is no doubt, whatever. Hut a well posted lawyer remarked to your corre- spondent: “1 don't think Mrs, Blaine is entitled toa divorce.

Superin- tendont Matthews will conduct the exercisos, and Prof. Loagan and Miss L. Webster, two of the brightest lights in Kansas City's peda- flemanent, witl lectura daily, Prof. Longan occupyiug the forenoons aud his col- league the afternoons, Prof. Longan is well known in educational circlos and stands hizh in the estimation of Douglas county teachers, before whom he has lectured several seasons. _He is principal of the largest ward school in Kansas City and is in groat demaud as a lecturer on education- al topics. Miss Webster has also won repute in her chosen ficld, and is principal _of tho Hamil- ton school in the city by the Kaw. Superintendent Matthews also cured Professor C. D. Rakestraw of braska City, and Miss Rugh of Omaka, but they will by unable to atiead. The object of the nstitute is not to glve the teachers a chance to roview their studies, as many roneously suppose, but to_instruct thewm the most approved methods of teaching of enforcine discipline in their classes The holaing of these institutes anuually is compulsory, the law requiring the stoners in each county of the stat wogic se. Ne- e in and o vene the toachers under thow jurisdiction for instractions in their art.”” Attendance is, likewise, compulsory. ‘The expenses are defvayed by the teachors' fund and by an appropriation of from £ to $100 wado by the county commissioners. About cighty teacners attended the insti- tute last year and Superintendent Matthews figures on an inerease of about ten this year. Many high school pupils, whe do not intend to follow pedugogy, also frequent the insti tute. After each session, the tenchers elec oflicers for the ensuing year. The oficers for this ycar are as fullows: A. Matthews, president; Mrs. Allen, vieo-president; Miss A. Leach, treasurer; Miss Noyes, sceretary, Tho country scliool teachers, numbering about seventy-one. make a euch year at the institute, expectingly 10 it as a ¢ stronger showing nd look forward andreunion whe they can oxchangs experiences with thei fellows. At the close of the session, August 22, there will be examinations on the variout subjects discussed by the lecturers. In con- nection with tho coming institute Superin- dont Matthews said 10 a Bir: reportor: I think these annunl meetings are exc leat, and I am sure they ave productive of splondid results. Kach year shows our teachers more competent, and &1l because of the iutorest and enthusiasm they throw into their institate where they ars drilled by skilled, scientific educators to toach after the latest aud most improved mathods, “Bishop Kean, rector of the Catholic uni- versity at Washingron, in a lecture in the capitol city paid the Douglas county teachors this high compliment: “Ihe Nebraska public schools ave the finest in the world and her teachers the most pro- ficient I have met in my travels, and this is especially truo of the schools in Omaha and immediate vicinity.” So you see our fame is beine heralded over the country and much of uccess is due the iustitute.” Matthews said that the law which went into effect August 1 requiriug county commissiouers to furnish schoolbooks freo was causing this state to be overrun with loquacious vook azents. who are besieging the bourds and making tife a burden “The programme for the opening da be as follows: MORNING, S:45—Opening. 9:00—Arithmetie.

The Skipper of the Nobrara arlthy Ryl | Head:d Emigraat, PRANKS OF A PLAYFUL RIVIR, | Magical Transformaion Scene Thit My or May Not urnish the Key to the Situation in b Mr. haraoh Got Le The river the Missouri in the vielni recent pranks of the Daikotas and of St. Joseph, Mo., brings to minl, savs the Chieago Timass, an ineldeat in the annals of that cipricious stream that happened adecads back, anl that may or may not suzzest an explan tion, on | nataral principles, of the pissugs of the Rod sen. The render muy settie that to his own likin waukee & St. Paul railway conpuay ceived from the'goverament certain lands lying west of Alg abling it to extond its line in o west- erly divection from that point to the Missouri river. At that tims the objec « ive point was the Black Hills. When the line had been constructed as far west as Marion Junction, D., it was decided to extend a branch line from there to Running Water, adistance of about seventy miles southwest, inter- centing the Missouri river at that point with a'view of bridging the stream there on account of the river being nurrow and offering better geographical ady ages than could be found at Chamt lain. When the line had Leen extended as far as Running Water the project of bridging the stream there was aban- doned and in its place the Niobrara transfor was established. This transfer consisted of a large flut-bont, called the Niobrara, propelled by steam and de- signed for the transportation of emi- grant stock and movables, and which plied between Running W nd Nio- brara, o small town divectly across the river on the Nebraska shove. In those days Niobrara was truly a jumping-off place. Its chief industr were replenishing wagon trains which veached its gates by lording the river Running Water, horse stealing ving seven-up. The task of fording the river at this point was accompanied b gers and such great un to the treacherous sands, the rapid cur- vent and the Ilc debris, that after the transfer was established most of the emigrant prospectors who could afford the transfor fee embraced the safer method of crossi the river by boat, and soon the ford was abandoned, except Dy @ stray hovse-thief ora fow muraud- ing reds from cither shore. Up to this time Running Water had con- sisted of a few frame dwelling: horso doctor, and about thivty sun-dried citi- zens. Upon the advent of the railvoad a sudden and remarkable ehange took in thi§ unprotentious spot. Rumor be- came rife for miles around that Running Water was to be on the main line of the railroad to the Black Hiils. The price of land shot up to an_exorbitant figure; land speculators and prospectors of all ereeds and nationalities came to the ghborhood. Many of them, after carcfully surveying the situation, shook their heads and depavted, while' other. remained, deluded by the belief that they had found at last the golden apples of Hesperides. Mhere was at that time a floating pop- ulation of about oighteen hundred peo- le in the neighborhood of Running Water, composed mostly of cattlemen, land sharks, gamblers, a few outlaws and a sprinkling of murderers from Nebraska. On a beautiful nutumn afternoon,about November 20, 1885, the writer chanced to be at Running Water on business,and about sunset was sitting on the porceh of the hotel, situated upbn an eminenco above the adjucent country. v to the west, on the Nobraska side, could be dis- cerned the low line of purple hills which fou marked the boun es of the Indian reservation. Away to the north and outh stretched the rviver, while to the tward ran one of the old wagon roads, which secmed to blend in the distance with the arch of the sky. Looking down the long, dusty road could be seen, winding its way tediously along, an emigrant train of eight wagons, They were headed toward the landing, where the transfer crew awaited their arvival, The is no special excitement in the arri de- picture of a party of emigeants, Ally in o countey where such hap- penings are of daily occurrence, hut to a man with positively nothing to do but to watceh the lights and shadows of dis- tant hills, such an event muy nrouse in him a slight interest. Upon reaching the landing the men of the wagon train pegan parleying with the captuin of the Niobrara a5 to the fee for being trans- ferved across the rviver, and it was evi- dent from tlieir conversition that no sutisfucto mount conuld be decided .upon. Tho captain of the Niobrara ex- plained that the curvent in the rivor was unusually swift, which would compel him to go up stream a considerable distanve to make the lunding properly on the other side, and, added to this im pedimont, there was a strong wind blowing dircetly against him, He said he would not comedown acent in his price, us he was not there for his health nor for the pleasure of running his boat, and if they wanted to cross the river witiout his aid they no doubt would find plenty of water to assist them After this declaration by the skipper of the Niobraraa short conference was held by the parties desiving to eross, and after a few minutes’ consultation tall, spare mua of their party (evidently the leader) stepped forward, In o lea- ther belt enciveling his waist was thrust a brace of pistols, in his right hand he gripped a long cowhide whip, while in a hole in the large felt hat that adorned his head dropped o long, slender tuft of red huir, which gave him the appoar- ance of wearing a plume, Altogether his minner was pleasing. . After eyeing the erew steadily for a few moments he addressed himself so the captain of the Niobrara thus: *Well, eaptain, if you can’t come down with them figgers ‘tan’t 1o use for me and you a-teyin® to do bus- ness. I guess me and the boys will go up to the ford and camp for the night, and in the mornin® strike wncross tho river,” The man was informed that the ford was then inpassab boing elght feet deep at thut to attempt to ford t would be certain doath. Ho was not to be dissunded, however, by this informas tion, und he gave the order to start for- ward, The wagon weain slowly disap- peared up the long winding teail loading to the ford, and shortly after the party at the land dispersed. That night about two hours after sun- down a i storm arose.
