that there is left in the estate, net, af- ter all debts are paid, the sum of S51,- 130. 76.
 Yale university, under the will of Pro- lessor Marsh, will receive all this sum except $10,000, which was bequeathed to an institution in Washington.
 The sum is larger than had been es- timated, which fact is partly accounted for by the discovery by the executors of $11, 1,000, which was not included in the Marsh estate by the appraisers. This $11,000 came into the Marsh cs- tate from the estate of George Peabody, the phlanthropist. Professor Marsh was one of the trustees of the Peabody estate
 Under the succession tax law the ex- ecutors of Professor Marsh will pay to the state the sum of $1 ,233. The realty in the Marsh estate was valued at $6O,- 900, but there was a considerable mort gage on it. The library was valued at $5,O00.

to have yielded only about IS bushels,
when S5 to 40 was expected. On the
Merilat farm near Detroit 100 acres

acres this week. The first 80 acres
which looked favorable for 80 bushels
went IN. The straw is heavy but

Lectured on Evolution.

Rev. Gilluly delivered an in.
structive and humorous lecture to a
large and appreciative audience at
the Baptist church last Sunday on the
Theory Of Evolution" as taught by
Darwin. He admitted evolution to
be a natural process, and linked with
inyolution to be the process OF all
development. But Darwin while a
great naturalist was fanatic on the
subject Of evolution and obtained
that one idea until it got lonesome.
He closed by saying that according to
Darwin's theory men were but highly
developed apes and apes we're human
beings in embryo.

Uncalled for Insinuations.

1t is said that Sheriff Baker read
the riot act Saturday night to the
Chronicle which insinuated that the
county jail is not decent place and
that young man there does not get
kind treatment. Anyone who is ac-
quainted with Sheriff and Mrs. Baker
knows that such insinuatons are not
only false but unmanly and uncalled
for. The friendless young man at
the Jail is receiving the best Of care
at their hands. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker
have lived in Abilene too long not to
be thoroughly known and such state
ments as the Chronicle made and the
worse insinuations implied will only
react on it. When an officer does his
duty he deserves credit for it, re.

HICKS PREDICTIONS
The Fourth Will Not Be as Hot a.
Usual.


Usual.
Rev. Ira Hicks predictions for
July are as follows:
"A regular storm period is central
on the first Of July which calls for
change to much warmer in western
section the last two days Of June, at
tended by falling barometer, growing
cloudness anu gathering thunder
showers. The crisis OF this period
will fall on and touching the End Of
July, storms reaching their most
active development in the center
Of the Mississippi valley on and
about that date. The moon Is
on the celestial equator and at
apogee on the End, facts which will
tend to intensity electrical and atmos'
pheric unrest. Look for some sum-
mer squalls about this time and for
rising barometer, westerly winds and
change to much warmer as storm
centers pass off to eastward. The
Glorious Fourth will not be IS red
hot in all central and western Sec
tions as is often experienced about
this day. A change to much warmer
with general reaction to storm condl-
tiops may be expected on and about
the 9Th and 7th, dates indicated by
the stars in the storm diagram as re-
dictionary storm days Cooler air,
westerly winds and rising barometer
will again set in for brief spell be-
hind the perturbations Of this period,
say from about the 8th to 10th
