OPERA TOUR UNCERTAIN.
May Be Postponed on Account of Mi
Grau,s Poor Health.

Grau's Poor Heath.
New York, Jan. 21.-Once again
there are rumors that New York may
go thru a season without opera.
| Whether or not the Maurice Grau opera
company will undertake a season next
year is at present a matter Of uncer-
tainty.
The Grau company has not renewed
its lease, which expires at the close OF
the present season. So far no meet
ing between the directors of that COM
pany and the directors of the Metro
politan opera and the real-estate COM
pany, which owns the theater, has been
held. But there is no doubt that they
Will come to an agreement as to the
terms on which their five-years' lease
shall be renewed. The element which
gives the greatest improbability to the
years season is Mr.. Grau's uncertainty
as to his desire to jump Immediately
into preparations for another season
before he has had an opportunity to
rest after his recent illness. He is not
at all sure that it would not be a good
thing for him to have a years rest.
The retirement of his former right
hand man. Frederick G. Latham, from
all association with operate affairs will
make Mr.. Grau's duties more onerous
THAI ever. in view of the fact that an
other long tour of the company is al
ways a necessary condition of a season
at the Metropolitan.

STOCK YARDs EARNS s2,o75,sso.
President Depew Says improvements
Caused Decrease.

Sdu0SA
New York, Jan. 21.-The Chicago
Junction Railways and Union Stock
Yards company's report of the fiscal
! year, ended Dec. 81, shows the total net
earnings were s2,075.36O in1902. 1t was
$2,117.S51 in 1901. President Chauncey
NJ. Depew in his report says:
1.-The great shortage in corn for the
crop year of 1901 was Il serious blow
for the live stock interests, n a heavy
decrease wa shown in the receipts of
all meat-producing animals during the
spring and summer OF 1902. This
shrinkage, however, was In a great
Measure made up by the large receipts
during the autumn months.
The continuance of the policy adop-
ted by the management of making large
expenditures for improvements and
betterments over the ordinary charges
for repairs and maintenance have so
ia Increased the expense as to reduce
the net earnings by $42,491, the entire
decrease being shown in the net earn
ings of the stock yards company, where
the improvements made have been I'M
usually large. MoSl OF tHeSe improves
ments are of a permanent character.
and are greatly improving the facilities
OF the yards.
The construction of the buildings of
the G. H. Hammond company, which
abandoned its plant at Hammond. Ind,
located at the Chicago yards, has
been rapidly pushed, and it is expected
that it will be in complete operation
early In the spring of 1903. All such
Improvements necessarily tend to in
crease the demand for live stock at the
yards"

NEW THEORY OF LIFE.
Vale Scientists Have New Theory as
re Nr;oin

to Its Origin.
New Haven, Conn, Jan. 21.-Dr. j.
i. Workman, of Yale. last night out
lined his tehory of the origin of hui
man life in a lecture i'm which he re-
viewed his researches covering years,
upsetting both orthodox and former
scientific beliefs. He advocated three
distinct theories more or less revolu-
tionary:
First-An life began at the north
pole.
Second-The primates, including apes
monkeys, and lemurs, who lived at the
pole, were directly the ancestors Of the
human ice.
Third-The evolution of the primates
to human beings took place at the same
time and largely because of the effect
of the discovery of fire.
DIR. Workman, two years ago, took
UP the Investigations of the late Prof.
Marsh In paleontology and visited Wy
oming, where he discovered perfect
skulls of primates similar to those
found In northern Europe and NADIA
gascar. His theory is that these We're
In the tropical zone extending around
the north pole, as similar skulls were
found in America, Europe and Africa.

The Horse Market.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-With the Increased
number of buyers trade opened active,
with prices generally on a shade higher
level than a week ago. Receipts show
a heavy increase over last week, but
many were consigned to Splan's mid
winter sale and many more consigned
to the regular channels of trade. Total
number of arrivals Monday were 1921.
and for the first two expired days 1881,
against 1,212 for the same time last
week. All classes shared in the in
creased demand. The proportion of good
to choice heavy draft horses was light,
which resulted in a stronger tone. Some
cheap stuff is no better than steady,
notably common drivers which in many
instances are not more than paying out.
Heavy drafters sold at a range of $3.50
@l225 for the best offerings and $1,000
100 for common to mediums. Drivers
are selling all the way from $65 to 5000
and up, but only best kinds are active.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1903-01-21

DR.. Workman traced the develop
ment of the cerebral h~emispheres. the
prehensile extremities, the short arms
and the erect spine in the primates, in
dicating the evolution of the primates
into the human ace. The next step
was, he alleged, the discovery OF fire
by the primates, probably accidental
and the mastery of it's use, which
evolved the human being.
All of Yale's veteran scientists were
present and burst into a round of spon-
aneous applause when the young sci
enlist finished the elaboration of the ar
gument. which overthrow their time
honored theories.

Altho Not Fully Realized,
Many are Being Received
Into the Church
DUE TO FORWARD MOVEMENT
This Movement Was Started by the
Twentieth Century Commission and
Besides the Large Membership Ad-
dition Has Resulted in the Donation
of the %s2o,ooo,ooo Thank Offering.

Chicago. Jan. 21.-More than 1900, 600
people have Deer received into the
Methodist church in the last four
years, and this fact, not generally
known, even among the most earnest
workers and stanchest supporters of the
church, is to be made the subject of
that denomination during the coming
year. The Northwestern Christian Ad-
several suggestions 20 carry this a
gelistic work even farther. 1t suggested
that at the meeting Of the bishops this
spring they appoint a commissioner
similar to the twentieth century COM
mission appointed at their Springfield
meeting on Nov.1, 1898. who's duty it
will be to arouse the church to evan
gelistic action. as the twentieth CEN
tury commission aroused it to financial
action. A letter from the Rev. DR.. Rob-
ert Stephens, presiding elder of the
Danville district, to the Northwestern
Christian Advocate says:
I'VE should, IL need be, appoint ans
other correctional secretary, whose
DUTY it shall be to arouse the church.
He should create evangelistic litera-
ture; nave charge of the special evan
gelists, prepare articles for the church
Papers; appoint times for humiliation
and prayer, and thus stir the people
called Methodists into spiritual enthu-
siasm."
The large increase in the member
ship of the church is due to the So
called forward movement started by
the twentieth century commission. This
commission asked for a thank Offering
OF $50, 000,0 600 to be raised in four years
and at the same time asked the church
to secure 1000, 900 conversions and ac-
All of the $40, 000, 600 has been
pledged and will be used to endow and
build new churches. hospitals and other
Methodist institutions. and Il large part
Of the amount will be used to pay off
debts.
The estimate OF the number Of new
members In the Methodist church is be-
lieved to be conservative. The North
western Christian Advocate gives q
of statistics showing that the
number may reach 100000 when
all the returns are in. 1t says:
Two of our bishops tell us that, in
their judgment, at least two-thirdsso OF

there are n Of another mail war
this winter between the Burlington and
the Northwestern. 1t is said that the

there will be another rustic among the
railway giants for the contracts. East
OF Chicago the struggle will be between
the New York Central lines and the
Pennsylvania, while west of Chicago
the struggle will be between the Bur-
iington and the Northwestern. The
Burlington now has the business and
will hold 1t as long as 1t can give as
good as any rival. If another mail war
is inaugurated, it will see all previous
