The divorce law has been on the statute books for fifteen years , nnd when placed there It is wild the projectors believed it would Induce immigration. For fourteen years it remained n do id letter , uuicnowti and unnoticed by thu public. The admission of tlo state into the union nl once brought the law into notice and gradually the easterners began to pour Into the city until now there nro ut least ono bundled who want decrees of separation. Whether ( hey will got them or not is n mooted question. There are no doubt many Justifiable cases , vvhcro the applicant is deserving of consider ation and entitled by the rights of Justice , nnd that alone , for u complete separation. Again th"re are ethers who com ? for the purpose of fraud , who np , > air under nu as sumed natno , and unknown to the husband or wife , as the ease may be. proceed to got n divorce , surprising the defendant to nn ex tent lint to be measuiod by words.

How to Got n Divorcf. The divorce laws of tnis stnto allow de crees to bo trrantod by the circuit courts for adultery , oxlioinu ctnolty , habitual iutom- pui.mco or conviction for felony. Willful desertion , wilful neglect , habitual intcmper- unco must continue u year bsfoio either is grounns for udivoicc Under the slatuto ilivoicLs must bo denied upon sbouln con nivance , rcciimination or limitation nnd Innsoof timo. When a divot co Is granted for ndultciy the pirty against whom it Is granted cannot romaiiy until the death of the other unity. Adecieo cannot bo granted unless the plaintiff has been in "good faith" a resi dent of the state for ninety davs , ami that Is Just where the attractive fo auro comes in. Other states icqniio n year. In past years Yankton , ut ono time the cat ital of the teiritory. was tlio ronde/\ H lor the ninutj-uav colony. Alth ug'i n large number of divorces were granted , jot bv consent they woio hopt vary quiet and the fact of the existence of tno easy laws pissed unnoticed except by these personallj inter ested. The usual procceduro for applicants com- inir hero is to put up at a boarding bruise , stop hoio for ninety days , bogie nn action for divorce , obtnin sot vice upou defendant by publication in some newspaper in the stale , nfter malting allluavit that the whereabouts of the defendant "as unknown ; then after vuiitlng scventv-two davs longer to go bc- foio the Judge , piovu UP his cose us ho would n trco chnm , Hie the decree nnd then take tram to his former Place of residence. Speaking of the law , C. O. Bailey , u prom incut nttoinoy , stid : "In some cases not oven the Illmsv 'good faith' theory of the law is cone thiough with. Theio nro eases in which the parties have come here , icglstoiod nt a hotel , then loft the stnto nnd not 10- turner ! until the ninety days had elapsed. Tobosuio the constitution of the United BtntOK provides that ouch state shall give full faith mid credence to the judgments of other states. Tito ulmost universal holding , however - over , of the vailous courts of the countr.v is Unit , when Jurisdiction is obtained by fraud it amounts to no Juilsdlction , and the judg ment Is n nullity. If parties dolling to como to this city and tnko up their permanent 101. Idcnco he in In good faith nnd not simply for the purpose of obtaining dlvoicos , soivlio in that case , even by publication , would be per fectly valid and the decree sound. " AViiitlnjj for Tholr Dcorccs. s Of the members of thu Ono Hundred nnd Three , as Mis. J. G. Blaine. Jr. . uniquely called the divorce colony the other day , Madame Do Stuors is certainly the most at- ttactive , nnd while she is known to only n few in tlio citv she Is decidedly in the load so far as social position U concerned.

At that tlnn the objective - ivo point was tlio Black Hills. When the line hud been constructed us lar west as Marion Junction , S. IX , it was decided to extend a branch line from there to Knnnitiy Water , udistanuo of about seventy tnilo > < southwest , inter cepting the Missouri river at that point with avlowof bridging tlio btrciun there on account of the river bojtitf n.irrow anil olloring better oofjraphical advant ages than could bo found at Chamber lain. When the line had boon extended as far aa llunniny Water the piojtct of bridging the stte.nn there was aban doned and in Ufa place the Niobrara transfer was established. This transfer consisted of a large ll.it-bo.it , called the Niobrara , propelled by steam and de signed for the transportation of emi grant stock and movables , and which plied between H'inniiig Water and Nio- brant , a small town directly across the river on the Nebraska shote. In those ilajs Niobrara was truly a jumping-oll place. It- ? chief industries weio loplonishing wagon trains which readied its gates by lording the river above Kunnipg Water , horao stealing and playing sovon-up. Tlio task of fording the river at this point was accompanied by so many dan gers and such gioat uncertainly , owing to the treaohoions bands , the rapid cur rent and the lloating debris , that after the transfer was established most of the emigrant prospectors who could afford the transfer fee embraced the s ifor method of crossing tlio river by boat , and soon the ford was abandoned , except by ( i stray horoo-thief or a , few in ir.iutl- inir reds from either shore. Up to this time Running ? Water had con sisted of iv few frame dwellings , u hor-io doctor , and about thirty sun-dried citi zens. Upon tlio advent of tlio railroad a sudden and remarkable change took in thig unpretentious bpot. Rumor be came nfo for miles mound that Running Water was to bo on tlio main line of the railroad to the Black Hills. The price of land shot up to an exorbitant figure ; land speculators and prospectors of all ciecds and nationalities came to the neighborhood. Many of them , after carefully surveying the situation , shook their heads and departed , while othorj lomained , deluded by the bohof that they nail found at last tlio golden apples of tlesporidos. Thoto w.is at that time a lloating pop ulation of about eighteen hundred people ple in the neighborhood of Running Water , composed mostly of cattlemen , land sharks , gamblers , a few outlaws and iv sprinkling of murderers from Nebraska. On a beautiful autumn afternoonabout November iiO , 1SS5 , the writer chanced to bo at Running Water on businessand about sunset was sitting on tlio porch of the hotel , situated upon an onunonco above the adjacent country. Far to the west , on the Nebraska side , could bo dis cerned the low line of purple hills which marked the boundaries of tlio Indian reservation. Away to tlio north and bouth sti etched the river , while to the eastward ran one of the old wagon roads , which seemed to blond in tlio distance with the arch of the sky. Looking down the long , dusty road could bo scon , winding its way tediously along , an emigrant train of eight wagons. They were headed toward the landing , \\hoio the , transfer crow awaited tholr arrival. There is no special excitement in the arrival or do- pirturo of it party of emigrants , especially in a country whore suoh hap penings are of daily occurrence , but tea a man with positively nothing to do butte to watch the lights and shadows of dis tant hills , such an cvont may arouse in him a slight interest. Upon reaching the landing the men of the wagon train began parley Ing with the captain of the Niobrara as to the fee for being trans ferred across the river , and it was evi dent from tlioir eonversition tint no satisfactory amount could bo decided , npon. The captain of the Niobrara ex plained that tlio current In the rivet- was uiuii-ually swift , which would compel him to go up stiutim a considerable dislnnuo to make tlio landing properly on the other side , and. added to this 1m podinunt , there was a strong wind blowing directly against him. Ho said ho would not comedown a cent in his piico , as ho was not there for hi.s health nor for the pleasure of running his boat , and If they wanted to eroas the river witnout las aid they no doubt would llnd plenty of water to assist them. After this declaration by the skipper of the Niobrara a short conference was hold by the parties desiring to cross , and after a few minutes' consultation a tall , spare man of tlioir party ( evidently the loader ) stopped forward. In a lea ther bolt onciruling his waist was thrust a brace of pistols , in bin right hand ho gilpped a long cowhide whip , while in a hole in the largo felt hat that adorned his head dropped a long , slender tuft of rod hair , which gave him the appearance - anco of wearing a pluniu. Altogether his nrinnor was pleasing. After eyeing the crow steadily for a few moments ho addrca ed himself so the captain of the Niobrara thus : "Well , ciptain , if you ca.i't come down with them llggcra Han't no use for mo and yon a-trvln' to do bus- ness. I guess mo anil the boy.s will go up to the ford and i-amii for the night , and in the mornln' strike across the rivor. " Tlio man was Informed that the foal was then Impassable , owing to the water being eight feet deep at that point , and that to attempt to ford the river there would bo cort.tin do.tth. Ho was not to bo dissuaded , himovor , by this informa tion , and ho gave the order to start for ward. The wagon train hlowly dlsap- ' poarodup the long winding trail loading to the ford , and shortly after the party at the landing di per od. That night about two hours after sun down a llorco storm arose. Far to the \\ost g.'oat banlcs of inky clouds were towering In the sky like glgantlo moun tain peaks , whtlo between the shrlol.H of the blast the heavens were ubhr/o with Mashes of lightning that Boomed to stretch from polo to polo. Up and down the line of the rtvcr the wind bounded like a rillo bill ; lu toro largo trees and nhrulH from thulr-roots mil linrlud thorn in tlm hissing sttunin below ; il laid Its trlnnt hands on tint'grant to wnjls of the river , mid seemml to bo maddened to fresh fury nt being hurled back by the lolentloss might of the rocky btrrior. In the morning/ / was resolved that tv pai ty of us should ride up to the ford and ascort'iin the f.ito of the emigrant train. After hrottkfnst wo engaged sad- dto horses tin 1 Httirti'd for the ford. Aflor riding leisurely for about an hour information was vouchsafed that when we reached a slight etnlnonco in tlio roiv'l ahead , about u quarter of a mile distant , a good view of 111" ford could be obtained The knoll was soon roai-hed and nil eyes were turned toward the rivor. For a few moments all stood Hpocchloss with siirp.'lso and wonder. The omigiaiit train was just disappear ing from U"W in the tall grass on tlio Neb asui sulo.whilo fromslio.-o to shore stretched a stly : of hard , white sand about forty font in width and varying in height from 0110 to four feet above the surface of the water. Through this strip of sand the river was breaking In hovornl places , making gaps a few feet in widtli , thiougli which the water llowcd like a mill race. Across this bridge of sand , which one could almost imagine Intel boon reared in the night by the fabled genii of Aladdin , the emigrant train had passed In safety. On the Nebraska side of the fording place the shore is low and fadesnwiiy from the river brink into meadows and psisturo lands. On that side of tlio stream a ro- mnrkabk' change had taken place dur ing tlio night. The rive" had widened ovc > ' thiH plai/i about half a mile and had cut its w/v through the low coun try , joining tfio main stream about two miles below. The caprlco of this strange * river is over now. Tlio almost magical transformations mations of scones it produces in its course have long been the subject of wonder and admiration to many. It is feared for its treachery , and it is loved for the cadence of iti lullnbys lliat are echoed from slio-o to shore from Iho voice of the murky tide as it rushes on.

Close on a story that no dofunso was undo by Miller whoa ho wiw convicted of toittaiiiK mut robbing nn old couple nt Bradys Bend. Pi , coiuoi a partinl coiioboration of it by Miller's ftttornoy. The storv st.iteu In substance Unit Miller was under nn assumed name , but the mnn know nothing of the eritno Tor which ho was con- \ictud. Hat on tint ninht he bud shot and supposed ho hud Killed a pil. When aricstod ho feared to niiiUo u Uofcnso and thus reveal his whcieabouts nnit face , as ho believed , a chniRC of murder. This shooting occurred in Cluveland Tlio victim iccovoroil and the police never knew of it. A dispatch from IMUsbnrir sins that Colonel W. D. Moore , who dofpndcd Miller , yesterday made a suUeiucnt , based on the confidential story of his cbont at the time , la this Colonel Moore jsays : Miller is not the name of the mnn who committed thu torturing or the roborv. Neither is it the nama of the man who served seven roars in the \\ostorn penitentiary for the ciimcind who is now a suiter for the hnnd of General Mosby's daughter. The man known us "Shoo Bo\ " Miller is tlio son of ono of the wealthiest business men and financiois in Now York. Miller is a niimo whiLh ho adopted long after his separation from his wo ilthy parents. The story comes to mo from his own lips iind I have no doubt it is true. When " .lumos W.

His mother died , and ho wns thro'vn upon the mercies of the woild Hinco tlnif time he has borne a bitter hatiod for hif father ; in fact , ho would not rocof nizo him ns his father. Thnt those cir cumstances me true and th.it Miller's father isavoij prominent and wealthy Now Voikor is nil I know of the man's early .historv. I have nositivo proof that Miller was in Clovol on the night of the robbery and that no never held ono of the stolen bonrts. At Millni's 10- quest I hnvo written n letter to Miss Mosby lolling her the facts. The man who com in it- ted the clime confessed nnd paid mo the rnonov to defend Miller , I know ho is nn in nocent man.
