Dallas Texas.--A special to the
News from Rusk, Texas, says SEN
satlon has been caused there by the
announcement that there is a huge
shortage Of the penltentiary furds.
Aftidavits were made charging A.
s. Busby, who retired last month
from the Office of assistant financial
agent of the penitentiary with
fraudulent misappIication of funds,
on five counts, amounting to sew
eral thousand dollars. None of the
penitnetiary officials will say what
the exact shortage is, but state that
new discrepancies are being dis
covered every hour and that the
penitentiary books are in confused
state. Merchandise and other ma
terial of value, it is said, have been
carried away from the penitentiary
in large quantities, aud much of the
shortage will never be known.
District Attorney Imboden states
that he did not believe the shortage
would reach 500, 900, but how much
less than that amount the shortage
is it would be impossible to say
Financial Agent Workman and
Superintendent Baker, OF the peni-
tertiary. are Investigating the affairs
and kilograms have been sent to all
parts of tie State for the apprehen-
sion of Bushby.

MORE DIVORCED
WOMEN THAN MEN
Enterprising Genius Complies
Interesting Statistics.
THE WINDY CITY IS CHAMPION
And is the Mecca OF Those Who Would
be Rid of the 'sGalling Chains of Mat
rimony. "--- Next to Chicago Comes
Indianapolis, Indiana.

Memphis, Tenn.-The News says an
enterprising statistical genius has
taken the pains to look up the facts in
reference to divorced people in the
United States, and he has discovered
that there are 81, 538 divorced people
in the United States, of whom 80, 205
are women and Is, 1884 are men. The
reason for such an excess of women is
explained on the theory that divorced
men are moro apt to remarry than
divorced women. There are very few
cities in which the number of divorced
men is greater or even equal to the
number sof women. Omaha is the
most conspicuous, for among its in
habitants are 249 men and 236 women
who have been separated from their
conjugal mates by the courts.
Of course, Chicago is champion. II
is the Mecca of those who would be
rid Of the CALLING chains of matrimony.
People who live in Chicago are not
over-particular in the matter of enter
Ing into marriage contracts, for the
reason that it is SO very easy to have
them annulled.
The Windy City is the place where
people go who have been divorced and
want to marry, as well as the place
where people go who are already mar
ried and who want to be divorced. It
has long had the reputation of being
the haven of rest for the matrimonially
storm-tossed, and grass widows aud
grass widowers are there in abundant
profusion 4, 341 of them now reside
there. All of these have not been
separated by the local courts, still
they consider the atmosphere SO con-
genial that they have determined to
reside there, and they number more
than twice as many as are found in
New York.
Next to Chicago, Indianapolis seems
to be the most popular rendezvous for
divorced people, occupying the sixth
place in the divorced list and standing
twenty-frst in the order Of population.
Kansas City is II in the divorce list
