The Scientific Discovery Of the Agei

From times immemorial It has been
mans predominating ambition to pro-
long Life. But among the many bril-
liant minds, who have devoted their
lives TO the fascinating subject. It
was LETT for the immortal Darwin to
give to the world, in his great theory
OF Life, the fundamental principle
upon which to build all further re-
search In this direction. Following
closely in his footsteps came Prof. DR..
Ludwig Bueehner, q German scientist
Of international renown, with his re-
markable work entitled ''Das Buch des
LAngen Lebens" (the book on Long
evity). But alas, like Darwin he too
died, ere he could reap the fruit Of his
wonderful doctrine. Others however,
equally great took up the interrupted
thread with the result that two fam

experiments and research. have at last

MULES, RATS AND MEN.
Show Wisdom In Paying Heed
tn Cerfain PhalnInann

Miners Show Wisdom In Paying Heed
to Certain Phenomena.
"Well that isn't superstition; it's
reality" and the coal mine inspector
didn't seem a bit pleased with the
suggestion that superstition might
sometimes be responsible for the ac-
lions Of miners.
Goal Miners" he went on to say,
care not superstitious. Hear noises?
OF curse they do, but do people sup
pose those noises are imaginary? It
beats all how little is known generally
about coal mining.
"Folks get it into their heads" the
inspector continued, "that a man who
will quit work in a certain part of a
mine because he sees the rats desert
ing that section Is superstitious when,
as a matter of fact, he simply displays
sound judgment. Very DOL after the
rats quit sounds will be heard, and
later on a slide follows. What would
have happened to the man had he
credited his fears to superstition by
disregarding the exodus Of the rats
and the subsequent noises?
"Rats are the first Of a mines inhab-
itants to realize danger, and then
comes the mule. Man is the last. So
it Is only natural that he should take
us positive indications Of trouble the
actions of the others, and he should
not be regarded as q superstitious
creature on that account.
"After rats desert IN entry it is next
to impossible to get a mule into it, not
because the rats left, but because the
mule realizes the danger. Left to
themselves rats or mules would never
be caught in slides in mines, but it is
different with men, who will not fol.
low the lead of the other two."-Den-
yer Post.

over the battlefield without discovering

over the battlefield without discovering
any clew, but several years ago the skele-
tons of a man and horse were found in a
coulee about four miles from the battle
field, which some people think might
have been Harrington's. This theory is
chiefly based upon Il story told by one of
the Indians who was engaged in the
fight. Harrington rode the fastest horse
in the regiment, 4 big stallion named
"Sorrel Dam" and in their gossip about
the battle after the Indians had returned
to Standing Rock agency i, came out
that an officer mounted upon a large SO
rel horse attempted to escape. He WIS
followed several miles by the Indians
who succeeded in surrounding him. ard
attempted to take him alive, bu, as his
horse fell wounded he drew his revolver
and fred a bullet into his own brain.
shortly after the Custer expedition
started from Fort Lincoln, Lieut.. Har-
rington wrote a melancholy letter to a
friend in the east, full of forebodings.
He felt that he would not return alive,
and illustrated his prcmonitions by
sketching himself tied to a tree, with a
band of bowling savages throwing knives
at him. That, he said, would be his fate,
and it is perhaps true that, failing to es-
cape, he took his own life, as related by
the Indians. This letter and sketch,
which unfortunately fell into the hands
of Mrs. Harrington, we're more than any
thing else the cause Of her insanity"
DIR. PORTER o LOST.
DR.. Porter vigorously disclaims the
statement that he has not been found
since the Custer massacre. While DR..
Porter was not with Custer, he came so
near being that it is hardly a pleasant
recollection, considering the fate of those
who accompanied Custer. At IL o'clock
on the night before the battle in which
Custer and his men fell, Custer came to
DR.. Porter and said he wanted him to &c.
company the party, as DIR. Lord was not
physically strong. DIR. Porter was
anxious to 60, but DR.. Lord registered an
objection to being left behind, and as he
was the senior surgeon of the command,
he went with Custer, and is the surgeon.
to whom Mr.. Curtis enormously alludes
as DIR. Porter. Lords body was never
found, nor that of Harrington.

Equalization.

The railroad assessment is the same as
last year. Lands are about the same al
though the assessors returns are in
creased considerably, Thisis due to the
fact that the county boards set the value
much lower than the state board set last
year as a fair value.
The personal property assessment as
returned shows 81: 100000 increase.
The largest single item of valuation is
horses three years old and over-2o4,-
24o-average value $50. The value of
all horses is about s7,5oo,ooo and of cat-
tie, 100000.
The returns show considerable increase
in live stock-II4,ooo head of cattle one
year old against $4,000 last year; $4,000
two year old cattle against $4,000 last
year; $4,000 cow against 10000 last
year; 100000 sheep against 100000 last
year.
There are 4421 bicycles returned, 2817
pianos, o2,o5o wagons and carriages, 4547
organs and %melodions, 1929 separators
and horse powers and 1880 threshing en-
gines and boilers. .
AS usual the state is short on jewelry,
gold, silver, diamonds, etc. In the whole
state there is only 1894 worth Of gold and
silver plate and only s18,IS6 worth of
diamonds, watches and jewelry.
The state board made a raise of 33c. in
the Stark county lands, which advances
the average price from 4oc. to o5c. per
acre. The Billings county lands returned
at soc. per acre were left unchanged.
Last year the state board valued sheep
at s. per head and our assessors returned
them at that figure this year, but they are
likely to be left at s1.7o, which reduction
would take $4,000 off the valuation in
this county.
