in our own country Statistics of the
divorces occurring during a period of
rineteen years show that Illinois is by
all odds the banner" divorce State of
the Union, topping the list with 36O12
divorces Next on the list comes Ohio,
with 26,36I. Next comes Indiana, with
25, 1913; then Michigan. with 1S,433:
Iowa, 16.361; Pennsylvania, 16,02O. and,
seventh on the list, New York, with To-
800 divorces. From this the figures ta-
per down very rapidly, and Wyoming
had only forty divorces during the Pc
rod mentioned. In the entire United
States there were 32S,641.
Although New York is not the fore
most divorce State. yet it has done well
SO far as encouraging divorces is con-
cerned and really deserves high place
on the list. for statistics show that,
while only 1886 divorces took place in
the State during the period of nineteen
years, %, 3.s4 marriages that had taken
place in New York resulted in divorce.
In other words, 9,205 New York couples
have gone to some other State to obtain
their divorce, or else have moved away
from the State after their marriage.
There is one other question in relation
to the subject that is of more than pass
ing interest. What becomes of the di-
vorced women? Do they drop out of
sight and lead the lives of old maids
ever after? DO many of them go to the
dogs? Does a large percentage re-
marry?
A statistician has looked up the rec
ords, delved into personal histories and
traced stories innumerable in order To
formulate some sort of correct idea
and at least approximately accurate
data.
1t would seem that Is per cent. of the
women remarry within year, 10 per
cent. are waiting for an offer, 10 per
cent. have fallen into evil ways and
gone to the proverbial dogs, while only
. per cent. have embraced celibacy.
And the men? Oh, they are fully
qualified to take care of themSplVeSi

The MISUNDERSTANDING Fight.

Ahe SAMMOhS-ShhrA<ey Fl&mT.
The fight between Robert Fitz-
simmons and Thomas j Sharkey
took place at the Mechanics pavil-
ion, San Francisco, last Wednesday
night and was awarded to Sharkey
in the ninth round on a foul.
There was much difficulty in the
selection Of referee. Fitzsimmons
and Sharkey not being able to
agree on man for referee, the Ma
tional club, which had charge of
the affair, selected Wyatt carp,
famous as the marshal of Tomb
stone, Arizona, In the days when
murders were of daily occurrence
and desperadoes were plentiful. At
the rlngside Fitzsimmons' hacker
objected to carp on account of ru-
mors of crooked work, but was COM
PEELED to either abandon the fight
or abide by the clubs selection.
The fight commenced a few min
utes after 10 O'clock. In the first
two rounds honors were even. In
the third round Sharkey knocked
Fitzsimmons down, but after that
Fitzsimmons had the best of the
battle. In the seventh round he
knocked Sharkey under the ropes
and then picked him up and set
him on his feet. In the ninth Fitz-
simmons knocked Sharkey out and
the sailor was carried from the ring
unconscious, but foul was claim
ed and allowed by the referee, who
awarded the fight to Sharkey. The
greatest confusion prevailed and for
awhile a riot seemed imminent.
During the fight Sharkey contin-
ually fouled Fitzsimmons, but these
violations Of the rules were over
looked by the referee,
Fitzsimmons was the favorite at
10 to at the ringside and his back
ers put up lots Of money. 1t has
been decided, however, not to pay
the money bet on the fight, and the
matter is to be taken into the Courts.
Fitzsimmons undoubtedly whip
ped the sailor boy, but was jobbed
for the decision.

More Good Tim ELS.

Hundreds of men out of work
congregated at the new reservoir
site in Trenton, N. j., on the morn

crowd. One man was shot in the
side and arm. His condition is

RUnaW WAYS.

Last Saturday night Barton's
four-ho stage team ran away, but
did no damage. The team was stand
ing in front of his house, and be-
came frightened at something being
dropped on the wheelers. They
started before Barton could get a
good hold on the lines, and ran
down to Pike street, up to Main
street, and were not stopped until
they reached Bob Stowell's place at
the mouth of Gold Canyon. Barton
hung onto the lines and finally got
the brake to work.
Wednesday morning a sorrel
horse attached to a cart came rae
ing over the graveyard hill. The
animal ran through town, and cir
cling around started down Pike
street. Here the cart was turned
over, and the horse stopped, for
want of breath more than anything
else. The animal was later found
to belong to Mr.. Hanson, of Vir-
ginia City, and the horse started TO
run from the Daney mine, where
Hanson and his son had stopped.
The horse was scratched up little
and the damage to the cart was
trihing.

We have noticed several items, Of
late, in our exchanges, about the
proposition of dredging the Carson
river being failure, and that the
company was to be recognized and
the river humed. One of our ex-
changes goes so far as to state that
it will cost about $4,000 to fnme
the river, and that lumber has al
ready been ordered to begin the
work, and that this is another evil
dence of prosperity since McKim
ley's election.
We interviewed the Supt. of the
company this week and from him
learned that the above is all bosh.
The river is not going to be fumed,
no lumber has been purchased for
that purpose, and there is no talk
of recognizing. The facts of the
case are that the dredging plant
now on the river is a success, so far
as dredging the materials concern
ed. What has been an obstacle is
to save the value in the material
after it is taken from the river. To
do this the company put in quite
an extinsive concentrating plant to
catch the sulphurets, and it has
quite lot of these sulphurets on
hand. To work these teaching or
syanide plant will have to be put
up, and this is what the company
is going to do as soon as it can
raise the money required.
