Scientists Tell of Many Ways in Which Man
viii Become Extinct.
The opinions of the leading scientists
of the world concerning the probable
fate of the last man are given below:
]. The surface of the earth is slowly
but surely diminishing: all the landed
portion will at last be submerged and
the last man will be drowned.
?. The ice is gradually accommodating
at the north pole and slowly melting
away at the south: eventually the
earth's center of gravity will suddenly
change and the last mar will be crushed
by the rush of movables that Will
quickly glide over its surface.
3. There is q retarding medium in
space, causing a gradual loss of velocity
in all of the planets. The earth, when
her revolutions finally cease, will be
drawn nearer and nearer to the sun
until the last man will be literally
roasted off the face of the earth
4. The amount of wa ter on the earth's
surface is slowly drying up; the last
man will die begging for a drop OF
moisture with which to wet his parched
tongue.
5. gigantic planet or comet is like
ly to tumble into the great sea of ga:
which surrounds the sun. In thai
event our great luminary would blaze
up and burn the earth and all the Other
planets to cinders.
| g. Beginning with the year 5000 A
d. humanity will commence to retro
grade, and by the end of the year l.,
600, 900 man will be no larger and have
no more intelligence than d plant
louise. In that event there will be NJ

A Successful Meeting.

A genuine old fashioned republican
love feast was held at Four Mile on
Monday night, where a large gathering
of the residents of that populous pre-
cinct gathered for the purpose of hear
ing the righteous doctrines of the party
Of progress intelligently discussed. The
speakers, Hon. s.. f.. Wilson, candidate
for state senator, w. Z. Benedict, candi-
date for states attorney. and w. G..
Porter, the present incumbent Of the
office last named, after having exch ang-
ed social and friendly greetings with the
assemblage, in turn proceeded to the
discussion of the live issues which are
now agitating the public mind, in a most
forcible and eloquent manner. Much
enthusiasm was manifested, and the
strongest evidences of satisfaction and
appreciation manifested. 1t was not
until a late hour that the meeting adj
journed, which was conceded by all to
have been one Of the most successful Of
the campaign.
The report being circulated that Mr..
Wilson was committed against the
question Of the re-submission of the
%prohibitory law to a vote Of the people
was refuted by that gentleman, who de-
clared his intention to vote squarely for
such measure in case of his election,
having fully satisfied himself that such
was the desire ola large majority of the
people of the district, Whose interests,
in all cases, he should endeavor to guard
and protect.
The meeting will no doubt be fruitful
of happy results on November 9th, and
was just such a gathering as should
have been held by republicans during
the present campaign in every school
house in the county.

G. j. Patton, republican candidate for
representative, was in the city on We'd
nesday in the interest of his W cleo
ton and that of the entire republican
ticket. Mr.. Patton has been working
faithfully since the campaign opened
for the success Of his party, and has
done much in the matter Of advancing
the interests of his ticket. Mr.. Patton
is well qualified to represent his county
in the state legislature, and will be a
most persistent worker in the interest
ofthe people, for whom every republi-
can in the county should cast his ballot
on Nov. 9th, to say nothing Of democrats,
who should also support him with a
view to averting the calamitous conse-

representation in the u. S. senate.

One of the most enthusiastic republic
can meetings Of the present campaign
was held at the court house in this city
on Tuesday evening. Hon. S. T.. Wilson,
candidate for the state senate, was the
speaker of the evening, and in an ad-
dress of more than two hours duration
the closest attention of the large audi
enee vas elected. His remarks were
largely confined to the history of the
republican party in connection with its
tariff legislation which was ably and
~eloquently reviewed from its organiza-
ton to the present time. Lack of space
precludes further comments, and it
must therefore suffice to say that it was
one of the clearest, most powerful and
convincing arguments in the advocacy
of protection and the vital principles Of
the republican party that has been pre-
sented by any speaker during the pres
ent political campaign in the Hills.
