The Worlds Intellectual Growth.
That humanity has gained vastly in
knowledge and continues 20 d0so each
generation Is beyond dispute. But does
this carry with it a genuine growth in
depth and penetration of mind? The
London Spectator has been discussing
this again and concludes that ''the
theory that there has been real intelloc-
tual progress in the world is one Of very
doubtful validity We have progressed
in social efficiency. in ths multiplica-
tion of cnntrivan2es for making life
easier. in our grasp OF an ever increas-
ing repertory of facts. but what we

It has more than once been observed
that the most subtle speculations Of
modern philosophy do little more than
reproduce the daring thoughts of the
Hindoo thinkers whose remains exist
in the ancient Sanskrit literature. the
language of which was dead when He
brew and Greek were yeealive. and the
profound researches into the intellectual
and moral side Of man which culminat-
ed in the dreams OF Plato and the logic
Of Aristotle Art and poetry were illue-
trated with a fullness of imaginative
splendor which modern ages have not
surpassed, in some ways scarcely equal

lect have not deepened they have broad
ened over such a sweep OF inception
that no comparison can be drawn lt 10
as q trained observer of facts, and in
drawing accurate conclusions from this
increased knowledge Of phenomena, that
man is constantly surprising his earlier
achievement. 1t is this kind Of power
which lies as the root of science and
the useful arts and dignifies his supe-
riority over that of the ancient world.

ORIGIN OF KALAMAZOO.
Pretty Legend That I'm Responsible
For the Towns Name.

Pretty Legend That I'm Responsible
For the Towns Name.
The name Of Kalamazoo. like Oshkosh
and one or two others, has come to be
to foreigners a synonym Of American
absurdity. It is often chosen, for some
occult reason. to illustrate that form of
vernacular English known as i" United
States"
But all thought of ridicule vanishes
when its romantic origin is considered,
for it is the echo still lingering about
the memory of two dusky lovers, who,
in that long gone time when Michigan
was the home mainly of Indian tribes,
lived and loved on the banks of the riv-
er which now bears their names.
Kahla, the young warrior. was
straight of limb and eagle eyed. while
to Mahzoo had been given by the Great
Spirit the many graces and virtues for
which Indian maidens have become
noted in song and legend. Life to these
two possessed all the charm which true
affection has ever granted to lovers, and
the days, as they came and went,
brought only abounding joy.
Each summer evening, as the twilight
deepened and the time drew near for
her lovers return from the chase, the
maiden watched from her bower in the
swaying branches Of a giant elm over
hanging the rivers edge for the first
sign of his coming. as the bow of his
canoe shot round the curve away in the
distance her clear musical voice called
to him, "KahIa, KRhla 7" and from the
young warrior came in loving tones the
response. "Mahzoot'- Jhicago Times

From, Fort sam Houston.

The ARDMoRErTE is in receipt of
some post notes from Fort Sam
Houston, San Antonio, by our
young friend, James L. Kibbee,
who, by the way, has been pro-
NOTED to the rank of corporal since
his recent visit here. He says:
Preparations are being hurried
for the final muster-out of the
First Texas cavalry at this place.
Three paymasters arrived yester-
day, and the final examinations
were begun to-day. 1t was form
erly the intention of the mastering
officer to begin work Oct. 18th,
but the Sixth regiment of regulars
has been ordered to this post, and
the First Texas must be mustered
cut to make room for them. The
boys are much elated over the
prospect OF an early return to their
homes. About 800 have received
discharges during the past two
weeks, and as many applications
have been pigeon-holed.
Since the boys return from
furlough they have become entire
ly unmanageable. Discipline is a
thing Of the past. Entreaties have
taken the place of commands. If
another payday were given before
the regiment is mustered out, it is
safe to say there would be a hot
time in San Antonio.
Battery G, First artillery, sta
toned at Ardmore during Septem-
ber, has been ordered back to Fort
Point, Galveston, and leave in a
few days for that place.
DR.. Longino of battery G is
assisting in the examination of the
First Texas at this place.

the First Texas, Maj. DeLoffre,

his wife resulted in a Tree fight in and

terday, in which the two bailiffs stand
ing guard at the door were badly
mauled and several spectators vigor-
ously dubbed. A crowd of 500, includ-
ing many women, had gathered out

rush was started for the doors, and the
guards were swept aside and the crowd
poured into the court room. A dctach-
ment of police, after a hard fight, sue
ceeded in driving the crowd out. The
rush was caused by rumor that Luet-

Witnesses In OhlO'S Alleged Bribery
Case Refuse to Testify.
Columbus, o., Jan. 20-The investiga
tion into the charges of bribery at the
recent election of United states senator
reached a crisis last night. No matter
what may be the final result of the in
vestigation there will likely be severa;
witnesses arrested for contempt. The
senate committee on Tuesday night
examined Samuel Pentland, Frank p.
Ross, w. z. Truesdale and Shepherd
M. Dunlap. Who then asked to confer
with their attorneys and were excused
till last night for that purpose. When
they appeared last night they said their
attorneys held that the senate had no
jurisdiction i'm the investigation of the
alleged bribery of a member of the
house, and had advised them not to
answer any further questions before
the committee. The witnesses did not
decline to tell the names of their coun-
sci, and their replies showed that most
eminent layers had been engaged in
the case.
Each witness was told that he was
held under service by the committee,
and should report tonight at 7:30 or
sooner if called for. AS the committee
will make partial report to the SEN
ate this afternoon a lively time is ex-
pected. The committee will ask the
senate to punish the witnesses for con-
tempt, and to give the investigators
full authority.

Comfort to Thousand of Sufferers.
Probably half the people who see this article
suffer from piles. 1t is one of the commonest
diseases and one Of the most obstinate. People
have it for years and just because it is not i'm
mediately fatal they neglect it. Carelessness
causes no end ofsuffering. Carelessness about
so simple thing as piles has often caused
death. HemoThages occur during surgical
treatment, often causing death.
Piles are simple in the beginning and easily
cured. They can be cured even in the worst
stages, without pain or loss of blood, quickly,
surely and completely. There is only one
remedy that will do it-Pyramid Pile Cure.
1t allays the inflammation Immediately,
heals the irritated surface and with continued
treatment reduces the swelling and puts the
membranes into good, sound healthy condi-
ton. The cure is thorough and permanent.
