A horse, carriage and harness dealer here

N. T. Vorld:-eThei increase of American
divorces has been remarkably rapid. No
longer ago than 1870 only 3gper cent.of mar
riages were dissolved by courts In 1900 the
percentage was eight, and if the same rate
of increase is kept up the closing year Of
the twentieth century will find 58.S per
cent. of all American marriages dissolved
by the courts. In other words, the year
1900, if we go on as we are going, will
find more divorced than married persons
living in the country. The divorces granted
in all other civilized countries put together
do not equal the number granted in the
United States. And while our population
is growing at the rate of % per cent. per
annum, the number of divorced persons is
increasing at the rate of nearly 20 per cent.
per annum. All of which may well make
sober minded citizens who understand that
the strength of a nation is its marriage
affairs rather than its divorce courts, ask
themselves: Whittier are we drifting?"

the national guard in the city, costing
the lives of two prominent merchants,
and entailing an expense to the county

there will be no trouble for three years
