being advocated by some, which seems
IN very satisfactory way to account
for both of these north-world con-
dttions. l will present ii as l under
stand ii.
The Annular theory asks us to be-
lieve that some of the earth's primitive
watery vapors fingered about this
planet till very late in geological times,
even down to the advent of man. These
vapors, 1t is supposed, revolved about
the earth as a world canopy, just as
similar vapors revolve about the PLAN
cts Jupiter and Saturn to-day Such a
canopy, it is claimed, would be COM
petent to modify the climate of the
whole earth, even causing a temperate
climate about the poles, and ample
pasturage for the mammoth and his
cogeners.
Now astronomers say that Jupiter is
at times dropping portions of his can
opy or watery Vapor at the poles. If
this be true, and If law presides uni
versally in the evolution of worlds, we
are asked to admit that earth's canopy
of lingering vapors, competent during
its existence to make warm climate,
was also competent in its fall in
the polar regions to desolate a land
of exuberant life. Certainly we can
place no mctes and bounds to such av-
alanches of world SHOWS, nor can we
put any estimate upon their sudden
ness. Such snowfalls may have COW
cred polar pastures and their feeding
hordes hundreds of feet deep in sin
gle day or in an hour
There seems to be nothing unnatural
or improbable in this canopy theory,
and through it we escape the alterna-
tive of making the earth cold in order
to cover it with SHOWS. For here we
cover 1t with SHOWS to make it cold,
just as Tyndall demanded a, quarter
of century ago. Then, too, if this
theory be true, we have an all-compe-
tent cause for all the glacial epochs'
and all the 'deluges" the earth ever
saw. If some of the primitive vapors
fingered about the earth till the mann
moth died, then some of them may
have fallen in grand installments
through all the ages" in fact, the
ages may have been more or less mod
flied and regulated by them, and the
geologist may find the canopy's inn
press all through the past, from Mona
to Man.

case was referred by the court as
auditor. The case is that of Camp VS..
e. 5. Baxter & Co.. and involves the
title to 176 lots of land situated in
CIinch and Echols county. This case
mas been pending in Clinch Superior
court for sometime, both sides claim
ing 10 be the rightful owners of the
land IN question. This litigation is for
the purpose of determining the re-
spectlve rights of the parties interested,
ana ascertaining whose contentious are
r1gnt. After hearing the evidence, and
the arguments of counsel, Judge At
klnson will make up his report
or decision and file it in the
clerks office of the Superior Court of
Chnch county, when, either party be-
ing dissatisfied with the decision, can
Iile exceptions and litigate the matter

Mr.. w. N. Jones left this morning
Tor Ehrin, Fla, in response to a tele-
gram announcing the death at that

received here yesterday even

the death of Mr.. Jones. The young
man wrote to his father here several
weeks ago, and in this letter he made
no mention of being sick, and the news
of his death was a great shock to his
relatives here. Mr.. Jones was about "a

HOW They

A long study of the conditions which
produced the sudden freezing up" of
mammoths and other animals in the
arctic regions has satisfied me that it
was caused by the falling of a watery
canopy or ring such as is now seen
above the poles of Jupiter.
The remarkable discovery by DIR.
Herr of the body of a huge mammoth
in a bed of glacier ice in Eastern ST.
IBERIA, says Geologist Vart in the New
York World, has again revived among
scientific thinkers the discussion of the
manifest changes the earth has under
gone since these mammoth quadru-
peds fed in lands of Astounding pas
lures where snow and ice have held
sway for thousands of years. A NAM
moth locked in glacier ice has seemed
to be an enigma difficult to solve, and
in this case we have one peculiarly
hard to solve as linked to existing
causes and all manner of suggestions,
wise or otherwise, have been put forth
to aid in the longed for solution.
AS far back as the sum-
mer of 1890 mammoth was
found by DR.. Adams frozen
in a glacier of clear ice, which abutted
against the beach at the mouth of the
Lena river. in Northern Siberia. The
skeleton of this animal. l believe. is
mounted in the museum of st. Peters,
burg. 1t was so well preserved in the
matrix of ice that Cuvier after close
review of the accompanying conditions,
declared that the animal was suddenly
killed and Immediately buried in
frosty grave, and that 1t had remained
in that condition from the day 1t was
overtaken by some sudden catastro-
phe. Since that time many of these
animals have been found in the arctic
world.
1t seems that theory is needed to
account for warm climate affording
provender all over the Arctic world
where once the mammoth luxxuriated,
and which continued warm for a vast
length of time, to allow such hordes of
mammals to breed and occupy that re-
gion. Then. too, the same theory must
account fer sudden desolating fall of
snow upon a land of Astounding life.
There is such theory

THE BRIBERY TRIAL.
Robert NJ. snyder Will Face Jury mt
st. LOuiS

robert NJ. Snyder Will Face Jury ut
st. Louis.
81 Louis, Sept. 29.-The first days
proceedings in the trial of Robert M.
snyder, the banker and promoter of
Kansas City and New York, on charges
Oh bribery in connection with the pas
sage of the Central Traction bill sew
eral years ago, ended in a complete
victory for the state, every objection
offered by the defense being overruled
by Judge Ryan. Snyder was arraign-
ed, but refused to plead, and the court
ordered the clerk to enter a plea of
not guilty. Tomorrow the selection
OF a jury will begin. 1t will then de-
YolVe upon the state to prove that the
de1endant is not a resident of Missouri.
The statute of limitations, which has
startled all the officials who took part
in the deal, is the legal technically
through which Snyders attorneys hope
to acquit him.
The law is plain. If Snyder at the
time of his Indictment had lived in
Missouri for a period amounting to
three years since the date of the bills
passage, he cannot be prosecuted :or
his part in the transaction. If he had
lived outside of the state for so long
a time as to reduce his term of resi-
dence in the state to less than three
years, prosecution is possible The de-
tense is confident of proving residence
in the state, namely, at Kansas City.
Circuit Attorney Polk, on the other
hand, is confident of proving that Sny-
der has been a resident of New York
city during the greater part of the
four years which passed between the
alleged crime and the indictment. The
punishment for the crime with which
Snyder is charged is Imprisonment in
the penitentiary for a term not exceed
ing seven years.

In the course OF his report to Gov.

After a careful and searching per-

troops.
Il made a personal tour of the Red
wood negro neighborhood, about two
miles from Eldorado, and interviewed
prominent negro families of that set
tlement and found all of them much
disturbed at the situation and desiring
fervently that the troops remain for
their protection. They have fine farms
and neat homes, living in peace, happi-
ness and prosperity. except for the
dread of the outlaws now terrorizing
their brethren in Eldorado.

RAILROADS MAKE ANSWER.
They File Bill in Action Brought
for Discrimination.

Wilmington, N. c., Sept. 29.-Twenty-
four railway companies, defendants in
an action recently brought by the In
terstate Commerce Commission to en-
force it's order requiring the companies
to provide more equitable freight rates
to Wilmington from the West in COM
petition with Norfolk, Richmond and
other Virginia points, to-day filed an
swer in the United States District
Court here to the bill of complaint,
which charges the railroad companies
with utter disregard of the commits
sion's order.
The respondents deny that the order
now remains in full force and effect,
because. they assert, it is illegal and
void. They pray to be dismissed.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company, one of the defendants, set
forth in a demurrer, among other
things, that the bill of complaint is not
sufficient in law and that the rates of
the Chesapeake and Ohio are reason
