and declined u to Il per cent, the latter

reduced the dividend to | u por cent for
the quarter. Later the market gathered
strength from favorable reports from
the corn belt, and general advance In
prices took place. Business was more
active and leading shares were taken on
round amounts for out of town account.
The confidence with which buying was
conducted alarmed the bears, who expe-
rienced considerable difficulty in cover
ing, as the floating supply
of stocks continued light. Tho
advance ranged from u TO 21S per cent,
Union Pacific making the greatest ad-

was exceptionally weak, declining from

FROM SHERMAN.

What the Pages of the Court Docket
Show Nearly 100 Applications for
Divoroe-Generai Local Intelligence.
SHERMAN, Sept. g. Special In
passing the courthouse this morning
the HRRALD correspondent dropped into
the office of the District Clerk, and
through the kindness of tho genial and
urbane but rather diminutive deputy,
Mr.. s. Thompson, learned the fol-
lowing interesting facts regarding the
cases filed for the next term OF District
court:
Three hundred and ninety-four cases
are pending trial in this court. OF these
l0f are on the appearance docket; l0l are
jury cases not tried at tho last term of
the court; 90 cases on the civil docket,
and 30 cases on tho criminal docket,
Nlnety-three of the above cases are ap-
plications for divorce, which
is direct and positive proof
that the lawsof our State on this subject
arc entirely too lax and need immediate
attention. Where divorce can he pro-
cured for a song the sanctity of the mat
rimonial bond is annulled and IL is
doubly difficult for two human beings
SitNi NiNii BhoolOiio ol0 NOOltu W llNt lt-
gether In harmony. Forty-elght of the
ninety-three applications came from
Denison, the city which pretonds to rival
Sherman. In this and all other similar
respects thou surpasseth us, and we
gladly yield the cake to thee, o, thou
erring sister.
Leaving out the thirty criminal cases
the court has only sixty Says
to devote to tho remaining
SH. Even If six cases could be
disposed Of per day 1t would be impos-
sible TO catch up with docket, which
must linger on and increase frsm term
to term until it becomes interminablo.
This fact, our kind informant thinks, re-
quires that our county be made into q
separate district.
