MARRIAGE OF FIRST COUSINS

It is true that the children, of cousins
that have intermarried are sometimes.
Weak-minded and it is also true that
they sometimes have certain cOngen-
ital defects, such as extra toes, defec-
tive senses, ETC., says the Louisville
Courier Journal. 1t is also true that
children having similar defects are
often born of parents not at all related.
The majority of marriages of persons:
related, however, do not result in such
defective offspring. :. T.
The notion that defective offspring
is a Judgment of heaven upon mar
riages of cousins is treated by the med
ical profession as a superstition. 1t
is admitted, however, that the chill
| dren of such marriages that are weak
minded or of defective physical de-
Ilyelopments are somewhat more numer-
| Gus than in the case Of marriages be-
| tween persons not related. But the
physicians tell us that the same thing
is true Of other classes of marriages.
An extract from Maudsley, who is con-
| sidered high authority on such ques-
tons, throws some light upon the sub

The STAR yesterday contained
an item from the Lincoln State
Journal to the effect that Presi-
Hancher's name had been handed
in as an applicant for the chancel-
lorship of the Wesleyan university
of that place. This news, we un-
derstand, was as much of a sur
prise to u honored president as
it was to his large circle of friends
in the Black Hills. 1t seems that
some of his ardent friends in Ne
braska are anxious to see him thus
promoted and desire to secure his
valuable services for their own in
stitution. While the STAR would
be very much pleased to see Presi-
dent Hancher honored in any pos
sible manner, and is delighted to
know that his abilities are thus
recognized and appreciated, we
trust that he may not be persuaded
to leave the Black Hills College.
No doubt he is much gratifed over
the manner in which his distant
friends have interested themselves
in his behalf, but at the same time
we are of the opinion that the in.
ducements would have to be ex.
ceedingly hattering to cause him
to leave his first and lasting love,
the Black Hills College.

bristled commissioners from eastern
side of the river wanted everything
that Sioux Falls didn't take toward get
ting up their exhibit. and the Black
Hills took the rest, The eastern part
of the state was in the majority and
therefore had their own way. They
had probably heard us blowing about
how we would be represented at the

preparation or not, and they concluded
to let us follow out that idea and they
would appropriate the appropriation
and we are still permitted, and en-
forced, to pay II quota of it. and still
