Evolution.

Is evolution trueP Did all man

pools? Did humanity wear the garb
of life pictured in Laurentian Silu-
>rian, or some division of the mesozoic
or cainozoic! Did man exist for long
ages silent, then croak, hiss, roar,

speak? Il he the product Of chance,
or does he come as a fresh creation
from the hand of the Supreme, as d
vase containing well ordered, all the
possibilities of the here and now

constantly pours the sweet fragrance
of soul and Immortality? Is he a

A Spirit Of Progress.

THERE'S every Indication that the
throng Of visitors to attend this
years final exercises will be greater
in the aggregate than that Of any pre-
vious year. Nearly every section Of
our little Mountain state will be
represented; many SECTIONS ap-
parently vieing with each other in
the magnitude Of their representa-
ations. Those in whose hearts the
old Varsity holds an IMPORTANT
place arrange to steal from the
cares and duties Of active business
I a few days at this. season, in order
to revive old memories and renew
old associations. Let us, in whose
Keeping the interests of our loved
institution lie, rejoice that it is SO,
The student of eight or more years
ago will scarcely fail to retire from
the rush and confusion long enough
indulge some meditation on those
former days he spent here, and to
make some comparisons, He cannot
fail to be impressed by the spirit of
progress that has pervaded and is
still transforming both his Alma
Mater and the town where it is
located.
In the University, facilities for in
struction have been increased, old
courses ofsstudy have been revised,
new courses introduced, and num-
Der Of new departments established.
Two new buildings have been
erected, third is il course of con-
struction, and the Board will, at its
present session, arrange for the con-
struction Of a fourth. Even 1.-THE
students have caught the spirit Of
progress and are making manful
efforts to create helpful college
spirit, and to bring athletics into
prominence. Among the members
Of the Faculty and the, Board OF
Regents there is q decided disposi-
ton to encourage the students in
their commendable efforts. The
President of the University address,
Z ed to them at the last chapel exer-
cises some encouraging remarks
along this line. In short, it seems
to one acquainted with the existing
conditions that new era of prosper
ity for the University has dawned,
!. and that most of those who have an
immediate interest in the institution
are exerting themselves to hasten
its full development.
With equal rapidity has Morgan
& town. the seat Of the University.
progressed New residences, new
payements, many other municipal
improvements, along with the best
modern methods for heating and
illumination have transformed the
good old rural town Of a few years
ago into an attractive, convenient
J and pleasant abode for student as
well AZ citizen. The railroad facili-
ties but recently enjoyed, and al
present being greatly improved, nc
one can fail to appreciate. When
all these things are considered there
is just cause Of qualification to those
who are friends to the State Uni
YersitY.

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 3O.-The next
issue of the Railway Age and North

l, will contain a review of the fore.
closure, sales and receiverships OF
1891. 1t will show twenty-one rail
ways properties, with an aggregate
mileage of 1928 miles, and capitaliza-
tion over $16S, 100000 sold under fore
closure during the year. While this
is less in number or roads and slightly
less in mileage than the totals of the
previous year, it shows an increase OF
about $3,500,0O0 over the capitaliza-
ton represented by the sales in 1890
The summary of foreclosure sales i'll
sixteen years shows a total of 40e
roads, with a mileage of SO, 743 miles

has ordered the available artillery at
this post to the scene of the trouble.
When asked today concerning the
ment would be virtually useless as it
would be impossible for the heavy
guns to do satisfactory service, even if
they should be required, owing to the
dense chapparrel through which they
would have to pass in doing field
duty. The artillery at this post is
battery F, Third regiment. If it be-
comes a matter of necessity the force
on the lower Rio Grande could be
augmented by seven companies of the
Eighteenth infantry, now stationed at
Fort Clark, and in addition to these u
few troops could be withdrawn from
Fort Bliss.
The report that reached here yes
terday to the effect that General Lo-
renzo Garcia, commander of the Mex
lean troops in the field for the north
ern zone of Mexico, had been muir
dered by his command at Mier, Mex +,
and that the troops under his imme-
diate control had gone over to the
side Of the revolutionists, closs-
ing over the river in a
body to join Cara, created
cons derable excitement among the
Mexican population here. DR.. Plutar-
go Ornelas sent a number of dispatches
of inquiry to the Mexican consul at
Laredo and to Gov. Reyes at Monte
rey, Mexico, but no particulars of the
affair have yet been received by him.

Lumber Entertainments

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 30.-R. A.
Lambert, special agent of the general
land office, detailed to examine the
Rainey river border with view to
ascertaining whether or not it would
be advisable to establish station to
prevent trespassing on timber lands
from across the border, is in the city.
He was on duty in the wilderness four
months and underwent extreme hard
ships. The results of his observations
is that there is considerable timber
t1espassing on the part of Canadians,
and he recommends the establishment
of station to watch the border. The
report stated that both he and his
men were lost in the wilderness, and
the government felt some alarm until
advised of their safety.

VICTORIA, Tex, Dec. 30.-Fire last
night at 10 o'clock started in the

street. The following are the losers
as near as can be ascertained: DR..
Tornton, $1,000, no insurance; M. l..
Potash, photographer, $4,000 on the
building and $3.50 on his stock, no in

portion of stock, exact loss not yet
known; H. A. Corsner, grocery store
and stock completely destroyed, loss
$l400, no insurance; A. S. Petticola,
lawyer, lost great many valuable
books and papers.
ID. A. Regain was the heaviest loser
His stock was in such immi lent dan
ger that it was removed to the adjoin-
ing buildings. He estimated his
stock at 500, 600, on which he has in
surance Of $4,000, divided between
twelve companies. The damage by
water and removal of goods was great,
but is probably fully covered by in

A Trains Fatal Plunge.

LAGRANDE, Ore, Dec. 30.-A fast
mail train on the Union Pacific was
wrecked near here last night. En-
gineer r. E. Low, Fireman George
Miller and a tramp named Zuminski
were killed. Another tramp named
Signier received fatal injuries. 1t is
supposed that in roundinga curve the
head engine caused therails tospread,
precipitating the second engine, mail
and baggage cars into the river, a dis
tance of fifty feet. The remainder OF
the train kept the track. None of the
passengers were injured.

addition is said by

This addition is said by
those who prepared the resolution
therefor, to have been made neces-
sary by the purchase of the Maltby
House, opposite the Capitol, for the
use of the Senate committees, by the
last congress. 1t was bad enough
that the people should have taken
an unproductive piece of property off
the hands of a private individual at a
fancy price, without making that the
excuse for taxing them $4,000 year
additional.
Ex-Assistant Postmaster Brady, of
star route scandal notoriety, says he
regards the appointment of Stephen
B. Elkins to be secretary of war, as a
vindication of the star reuters. That's
