The facts and figures presented in
the article last night ON the amount
of revenue raised by taxation i'll this
city. was widely read. 1t is the first
time that the statistics regarding the
expenditure of the revenue raised by
taxation of property in this city. has
been published. 1t gives the public
an insight into the affairs, of which
they were ignorant. 1t was matter
of great surprise that the school dis
trict spent more money than was
spent in the maintenance of all the
different departments of the city The
amount of money raised by the school
district is tremendous and something
should be done to cut it down. We
have no desire at any time to place
one obstacle in the road of having
first class schools. but the amount OF
money raised for their support in this
city is excessive and something should
be done to economize. Men and wo-
men who pay taxes in this city and
county are taking most seriously the
amount they are compelled to pay
and something will have to be done
to cut down the revenue in support of
the schools

FOUND APE MAN.

is an ardent believer in the theory of
Darwin. Recent investigations on
his part in Africa have convinced him
that man originally sprang from what
is known as the ape. He is registered
at the Windsor. and is ON his way to
the Philippines to study the natives
of the archipelago and the conditions
under which they live. He says:

beings Some of the negroes are very
near kin to the ape. They dwell in
the Congo forests of Central Africa
in the western section. These ape
like people do not seem to dwell i'll
organized communities, but hang
about the edges of the forest. They
speak a sort of dialect that is of the
most crude kind. Some of them are
not really black. but have skin OF a
dirty yellowish brown hue. Their
bodies were covered over with a yell
low down. Their intellect is not de-
veloped and their morals are ON a par
allel with those of the lower animals.
Human instincts are prominent.
of course as they are human; but
their stage of development is so low
that they border on the edge of the
brute world. 1t seems. however, that
al time advanced that these primitive
people have intermingled with SUPER
ior tribes and. where intellectual ad.
vancemant has been obt ,ined, the
characteristics of these ape like people
will crop out in following genera

state of civilization. then intermingled
again with the outlying tribes that
had not advanced. Climatic condi-
tions in the Country produced the
change in the color of the skin.
''These dwarfs are physically nearer
the apes than any other type. The
average height of the man is four feet
seven inches, and that of the woman
four feet two inches. A popularity
of their shape is the disproportion-
ment of their legs. which are short.
They learn language easily. although
the pronunciation is defective. TIL "

naked when ON their native heath
but when they come in contact with
the more civilized tribes they put
aprons around their loins and gradu-
ally. as each successive generation

customs of their environments
Whether or not this section of
Africa is the cradle of the human race
am not prepared to say. Certain
it is, however. that these primitive
people are the nearest to the ape of
any on earth.'

Horrible Turk to Wrest

What the big, Turk promises to do
to Patrick Devaney. the Butte miner
who has secured the title of inter-
mountain champion. would fill several
chapters of one of those pink novels
with gold edges. Devaney has made
some sighting remarks regarding the
ability of the Turkish gentleman as
wrestler. Therefore the wrath of Mr.

T "Yousef," who a few years ago after
cleaning up everything in the shape
of wrestler in this country left for
the old country and was wrecked and
drowned on the way. Young Yousef,"
who is now with us, don't claim to be
champion in the wrestling business
nor to have any corner on it. but he
does claim he can teach Mr.. Devaney
where he is ''at." The Turk has some
220 pounds of beef up and handles
it with remarkable agility. He's there
with the bunch of muscle and all
that. but still Patrick from Butte has
2lO pounds under his clothing. which
he has handled very well in the past.
Anyhow, the match Is for blood
