MAN AND THE GORILLA
Scientist Contends That the Theory OF
Darwin IL without
Foundation.

Prof. Darwin's theory that man
originally descended from the ape was
contradicted recently by Prof Chap
man in a lecture given in the Acad-
smy Of Natural Sciences. reports the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. one Of
the rarest and perhaps the finest col
lection Of anthropOid apes in the
world. fve in number, presented 10

Philadelphia. by Dr.. Thomas Biddle,
who secured the collection from the
Hamburg museum. was on exhibition.
Prof. Chapman made a minute COM
parison of the anthropoid apes anat-
omy with that OF the human being,
ard SAL that the gorilla more closely
resembled man in its physical make
up than the others The bones Of the
gorilla's paw or hands. he said. were
similar in great many respects 10
those of man. while the animal was
also equipped with a score OF more OF
muscles found in the human body.
At the same time. there were many
important discrepancies between the
two He Disputed the opinions Of many
scientists who claimed that the gorilla
had four hands. by saying that II had
really only two hands and two feet,
although all four. he said, were fire.
quently put to the same use In all,
he said, there was to some extent less
dierence between man and the gorilla
than there was between the Hottentot
and others Of that class and the per-
fectly developed man Of to-day.
One Of the salient features which
showed the important differences eb-
tween man and the gorilla. Prof. Chap
man continued. existed in the fact
that. while man possessed the long
flexor in his thumb. the gorilla was
minus such an accessory. There were
80 or more points of great difference
between the two. proving undoubtediy
that man had come by the same from
the rudimentary period
In referring TO the impossibility OF
the gorilla to talk. Prof. Chapman ac-
counted for it by saying that hollow
in the front Of the apes brain, togeth-
er with the animals inability to con-
troll its nerve centers. probably ac-
counted for its being incapable OF ex-
ercising its vocal organs. In conelud-
ing. the professor said:
IF we could concentrate into one
animal all Of the monkeys peculiari-
ties or traits in which he resembles
man we could find no basis for com
pairing him with man.

HOW TO TREAT CHnBLAINs.
when Taken in the Early stage They
May BE Easily Arrested
and Cured.

A chilblain is a disorder &C the
deeper skin. and is due 10 alterations
in the local blood circulation. The
simplest form OF chilblain is nothing
more than a congestion Of the capilla-
ries. the circulation being congested BY
blocking in one or two Of these yes
sells. The desree of severity is in pro-
portion to The number Of the vessels
involved, says American Queen
The sensation is an irritative itch
ing. often blister is formed as a
result Of friction. bur so far there is
no Inflammation The white cells Of
the blood migrate from the vessels as
water drops from a porous pipe The
highest degree Of severity is suppura-
tive Inflammation. or the formation Of
pus. Rupture Of a chilblain is not
dangerous. but the greatest care should
be exerted to prevent a bad sore. which
is likely to follow a rupured skin
Chilblains are not peculiar TO the
feet alone. They may appear on any
part Of the body. They are seldom
seen on parts Of the body where the
circulation is good. They usually ap-
pear ON the ears. hands. feet and nose.
As has been said before the cause Of
chilblains is due TO bad circulation;
other causes are deficient exercise. or
insuthciently warm clothing.
IN a mild state the trouble may be
arrested BY friction with cold water
or snow. which frees the congested
vessels. On the contrary. an early
stage OF ch1blain can be successfully
treated BY gradual heating. Place the
afflicted part in cold water and allow
the temperature to rise slowly. either
By adding boiling water OF by lamp
below the tub. until a high degree is
reached, that is. until the water is as
hot as can be borne Avoid a sudden
lowering OF the body as soon as the
part is removed from the water.
when a chflhlain is Of long stand

NOT so BAD!
Only a Knockout! Not a
Murder!
DOCTOR AND SHERIFF
Sent For BY Boss OF Construction
Gang.
DOCTOR AND SHERIFF

About 500 O'Clock Wednesday even.
ing, man came riding into town
from the South, at a rushing gate
and jumping from his pony ran into
the court house saying he wanted the
sheriff and a doctor! that man had
been killed, or would soon die. and
that the doctor and sheriff were
wanted Immediately.
Deputy Sheriff Humphrey Police
man Mcclure and DIR. Hamer repair
ed to the scene, which was on the
q. B. & N. Electric Line, at the farm
of Archie Yoder, about half way to
West Liberty.
They found the dead man still alive
and the murderer had skedaddled.
Two hands working on the electric
line, Del Campbell and ]. r. Williams
had got into a fight, and Williams
had struck Campbell above the ear,
with large stone. cutting his ear,
and knocking him clear out. The
latter remained unconscious SO long,
it was thought he was fatally injured;
hence the call for a doctor and the
sheriff.
Campbell's parents lived In our city
for a few weeks but left not long
since for Quincy. He is young man
about %. He was around the next
morning, about as good as ever, and
vas making no inquiries for the Cor
oner.

TOO PREVIOUS
Is the Declaration That Gas Can
not Be Made for SO Cents.

The attempt to. forestall the ques-
tion whether gasca be made for so
cents, by trial in July, is hardly
fair. The people have voted $4,000
for improvements, which it was said
would enable the works to make
cheaper gas; why not wait to see
about this? Are we to understand
that gas cannot be "made" for so
cents? If so, how much more will
have to be added for leakage, bad
debts, bad management, etc?
There is another thing to be con-
sidered: The gas works have more
than paid their way, and have had to
carry the electric lighting plant.
This shows that the people who have
to pay sl.25 for Illuminating gas, are
paying more than their share of the
burden. Why then shouldn't they be
allowed fuel gas, at so cents, even If
the price is put up, to others.
The question is one that will bear
investigation and discussion.

The Horn Reunion.

The Horn family held their annual
reunion at Silver Lake, Wednesday,
and had the best time ever. About
l25 were present, and the dinner was
unapproachable till the bell rang
Every Horn was a hollow horn when
the blessing was asked, but regular
cornucopia, when thanks were re-
turned. Warren Cushman was given
his fill and looks like another man.
J. Fl. vanHise was elected Presi-
dent; II. X. Horn, Vice President;
Earl Horn, Secretary and Treasurer.
A vote of thanks was extended to Mr..
Cushman for his kindness and atten-
rtion to the wants of the crowd. The
men occupied their time, as usual, in
pitching horse shoes. What they
will do when automobiles take the
place of horses. and no horse shoes
can be found, Is a seriouf problem.

FINED SIS AND COSTSI
And May Be Sent to the Work
House.

Elmer Heathcock was before Mayor
Haviland, Tuesday, and fined SIS and
costs.
He has not yet paid his fine, but is
in jail. If he does not pay, he will
be sent to the workhouse, where he
will have to remain 63 days.
+ 1t looks to US as If the punishment
Is not at all commensurate with the
crime.
/. If Heathcock threatened to stab
Frick, and did make assault ON him
i'm Fgick'siown stable, in the dark,
with pair of open shears, then he
was guilty of penitentiary ofiense
and ought to 60 to the penitentiary.
If he did not SO threaten, and did
not assault Frick with the shears,
then Frick was not justified in shoot
ing at him, and ought to be sent to
the penitentiary.
The law does not recognize the
right of a Mayor to assess such a
fine under such circumstances. and
the case ought to have been sent to
to the grand jury.
DIR. T. II. Campbell returned Wed
nesday evening from a visit with his
mother in Colorado, and brought the
dear mother home TO be one of his
family until the Spring time.

Plus X.
The New Pope. a DevOut Man.
of Fine Character and
Liberal Tendencies.
A Friend Of the People and Of the
Italian Government.

The College of Cardinals, after
seven ballots, elected Joseph Sarto,
of the Province of Venice, Italy, as
Pope Leo's successor, Saturday morn
ing. He is 6S years of age, and has
been ten years a cardinal.
The Cardinals we're divided into
three parties, the first being the
Cardinals outside of Italy: 2, The
Italian Cardinals who we're called the
Vatican party, and 8, The Italians
who were called the Liberals or Pa
triots, who believe in recognizing the
Italian Government. Gibbons Ia a
of the first-class,
Rampolla of the second, and sarto of
the third. Sarto's election was
brought about by a combination of
the 1st and Sd classes, and is there
fore a victory for the liberals and
He is too devout. to do
to injure his church, and
vet SO liberal that he would not
estrange the people and Government
of Italy.
His character as a man is high. and
he is learned, yet modest. and his life
has been unobtrusive. but filed with
good works and love for his fellow
men. He never had ambition for
honors, and was not therefore a
prominent candidate for the place,
but his virtues. learning, and love of
his church pointed him out to Pope
Leo, as a man who would be a worthy
successor to the Potificate.
It is well, that 80 worthy man has

mites of uaefulness that are his.
