GEORGE G. FURNAS MISSING
Police of Lincoln and Omaha Search
ing for Son of NebrRska's
Ex-Governor.
(From a stan correspondent.)

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. M-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The police authorities OF this city
and Omaha have been busy for two days
In an effort to ascertain the whereabouts
OF George G.. Furnas, son of ex. Governor
Robert w. Furnas, who disappeared last
Thursday. He left home at the usual hour
Thursday morning, saying to his wife that
he would be home at noon, and possibly
before, and since tina time none of his
friends In this city have seen him. He has
seemed very respondent OF late and is
known to have been financially embar-
raised. His dependency has been 80 no
ticeable to his relatives as to occasion
much concern.
His relatives have been prosecuting a
quiet search since Thursday evening for in
formation, and It has been learned that he
was seen in Omaha on that day and re-
ceived an accommodation from G. T. Hos
man and George c. King. The Omaha au-
thorities have apparently been unable to
locate him further.
George Furnas was in the employ of the
Burlington freight department for many
years, resigning his position about a year
ago to accompany to California a daughter
OF rare musical talent, whose voice had
failed her, and who went thither by advice
Of physicians. He failed to do well in
California and returned to Lincoln with
his wife, since which time he has had no
regular employment. 1t is now believed
that his financial troubles have partially
unbalanced his mind, and that he has
started to join his daughter in California.
His home relations are said to have been
most pleasant. He is so years Of age,
about five feet eight inches in height, and
weighs about It's pounds. He wore a
mustache and had one glass eye. Ex-Gov-
ernor Furnas is in Lincoln anxiously con-
Quoting the search for his son.

South Africa bought moderately. The

demnation, / am willing 10 have the case

Are YOU sure that you saved the life OF
Midshipman Aiken? Are not blood clots
frequently absorbed by the process Of ma
ture, and is not It a fact that in many such
experiments death has resulted because OF
the operation?
Your claim that you located the blood
clota because of experiments upon animal;
may or may not be true, as we have the
highest possible authority for believing that
such experiments are often times mislead-
ing and absolutely without value.
You are doubtless well aware of the fact
that many distinguished scientists have as
serted tina experiments on animals In tho
matter OF localizing brain functions hav'
led to nothing Of value, inasmuch as the
human brain differs immensely from tina
