SHERMAN, Tx, Dec. 6.-The dis
trict court dispatched so many cases

distances it appears that points In the
United States three times as remote rs

that this matter will be leconsidered
by the railroad managers, and give
Texas an even chance with the rest OF
the world for seeing the many won
ders collected for the instruction Of al
the people from every section alike,
