Catholic Marriage Law.
A new law on marriage was
promulgated in all the Catholic
churches throughout the world
Easter Sunday. Tnis law goes
into effect a: at once, and that
part relating to engagements is
as follows:
1. Every matrimonial engage-
ment after Easter Easter must
be in writing, although there is
no necessity nor obligation to
enter into a formal engagement
before marriage.
2. In the eye of the church
and oefore God, private b9troth*
al after Easter between Catholic
parties, or between fallen away
Catholics, begets no inatrimou-
ial obligation whatever, because
the church decrees that every
preuuptial contract is void unless
it is written and duly attested.
3 Parties wishing to become
engaged must sign the pre-nup-
tial contract, and have the bisb
op or their pastor witness it In
the absence of the bishop or
priest two witnesses must sign
the engagement. If one or both
of those to be engaged can not
write, ibis should be noted and
three lay witnesses must sign
the engagement in tile absence
of the bishop or parish priest.
4. These engagements should
be encouraged. If made some
months before marriage, they
will help to stop hasty alliances
which are the cause of so many
divorces outside the church and
so many unhappy marriages
among Catholics.
5. This written contract would
furnish good grounds in our civil
courts for breach of promise
suits.
Protestants and all who have
never been baptized in the Cath-
olic faith are not subjects of this
law, hence, their private contract
binds, for the simple reason (bat
the church has not made these
conditions under which they
must enter into an engagement.
7. All the fallen*away Catho-
lics, whether they, have become
Protestants, or infidels, are bound
by the law. The church, like
the state can bind her refractory
subjects, i
Celebrated the Opening.
Arapahoe, Okla., April 20.—
Sixteen years ago yesterday the
Cheyenne and Araphoe country,
comprising 4,797,771 acres, was
thrown open to settlement. In
contrast with the period of star-
vation that immediately followed
the great tide of civilization into
this section, prosperous citizens
celebrated the anniversary of the
opening in substantial homes,
with happy contented families
surrounded by broad acres of
fertile soil and thriving crops,
the inhabitants of a section where
land sells at $50 to $100 per acre.
Tne Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country consisted of wbut are
uow known as Blaine, Dewey,
Custer, Washita, Roger Mills,
Day and parts of Kingfisher Mid
Canadian counties. It had been
leased to the cattle men for a
quarter of o century and was
considered loo dry for agricul-
tural purposes.
The country was opened with
a run that started from a plana
known as Five Mile, mar whore
Weatherford now stands, aad
where the old Elliott trail oroaaed
the Custer county line. A sol-
dier fired a gnn at noon and tho
mad rush began. It was more
exciting than a gold mine rash.
Thousands of people from all
parts of the world were la it.
Gun plays were numerona and a
few killings occurred. Soonera
staked farms and town lota and
many were ordered off at the
point of a revolver.
A severe drouth followed and
the country was almost depopu-
lated, but today it is one of the
prosperous sections of a pros-
perous state.
