WALLIS NASH SPOKE ON THE
SUBJECT AT WHITMAN
THIS MORNING.
Gave Many Personal Experiences With
the Great Investigator-large
Audience Present.

Hon. Wallis Nash. of Portland, lee
tured on Charles Darwin this morning
after chapel to a good sized audience.
Mr.. Nash lived for many years in the
same village with the great investi-
gator and was able to give personal
anecdotes that were very interesting
to his hearers. He said that he felt
like a man with a testimony to bear
and that the opportunity to tell II
made him debtor to his audience and
not the reverse. He congratulated the
students on the atmosphere which
surrounds them and then launched
upon his subject.
The greatest movement in thought
for many centuries was brought about
by a group of four men-DarWln.

ley was the warrior and Spencer the
cola borator of all. Darwin was wide
minded in his work, in fact in none
seeking. Money was not their object.
This is true Of all truly great work.
Darwin stands as a prOSpectOr OF
science a product of heredity and en-
vironment. All his fOrefathers were
scientific observers. On professor
HenslOW's recommendation Darwin
was taken as scientific observer on the
Beagle, where in five years he gath

mems the material from which he
made his famous inductions. He suf-
fered from seasicknesS all the time.

vice to a young observer was to col

took more pains in keeping accounts
of the savings of the poor than any
thing else. He enjoyed it
Mr. Nash described the Darwin
house and his study. His home life
was very pleasant. He cited an Incl
dent where Mr. Darwin remembered
the book and page on which a certain
bug was described when asked about
it 20 years later. His rigid attention
to scientific subjects solely made him
lose his love for music which he much
regretted. Darwin himself said he
was simply an observer. 1t was for
the theologian not for him to apply
his discoveries and reconcile them. He
was buried in Westminster Abbey with
great pOmp.
Mr.. Nash talked informally this af-
ternoon at O'clock to all those inter-
ested in oxford and the Rhodes schol-

GLIDING the sale Of intoxicating drinks
in the new state or states, was taken
up at today's session of the Indian con-
ference. The first speaker was A. S.
McKennon of South McAiister, who was
an associate of the late Senator Dawes
in the original tribes commission.
DR.. A. Grant Evans, president of a
Presbyterian seminary at Muskogee, /.
T, endorsed and emphasized the views
expressed by Mr.. McKennon. He said
that federation of all the churches in
the territory had been formed to urge
the federal government to keep it's orig
inal pledges made to the Indians In re-
gard to the exclusion of liquor from the
country. The question toward securing
a prohibitory clause in the proposed en-
abling act was a vital one for the flu
ture state.
Miss Alice Robertson, for many years
a teacher among the Indians, urged the
members of the conference to write let
ters to their representatives in con-
gress asking that a large appropriation
be made at the coming session for the
extension of school privileges among
the people of the Indian Territory. Re
ferring to the liquor traffic Miss Rob
ertson declared that liquor was often
used by designing and INSCRIPTIONS

signs upon the Indians.

Judge Parker quoted a few totals
from official reports, which he assert
ed, not only raised the presumption of
extravaganza, but proved it. A bill of
particulars will be given, he said, when
Democratic administration gets a
chance at the books. From midnight
until after noon today, rain fell in tor
rents. Streams overlooked, and roads
were converted into brooks and made
nearly impa Ssable for pedestrians.
Nevertheless the New Jersey delega-
lions formed a procession at the ESQ
pus station of the Wesh Shore railway
and marched to Rosemount. It had
been the intention Of the organizers of
the trip to have two special trains of
16 coaches each and a party of 1000
persons. The trains were to leave Jer-
sey City at 10 o'clock and arrive at
Esopus at noon. At 10 o'clock rain was
falling in sheets at Jersey City and
few Democrats had arrived at the
trains. An hour later delegation suf-
ficient to fill ten coaches had arrived
and unmindful of the deluge deSermin-
ed to pay the visit to the candidate
despite the certainty of mud bath-at
the Esopus end of their journey.
Reaching Judge Parker's house the
delegation surrounded the veranda.
Though the rainfall has ceased the
trees were dripping and umbrellas had
to be raised. When Judge Parker
stepped from the house he was greet
ed by cheers and hand cIapping.

THEY WANT FLOODS
People Living Near River Want Dykes
Built Back From Banks.

The three viewers appointed by the
board of county commissioners to de-
eide upon the petition for dyke on
the Kansas river near Rossville have
viewed the country and have decided
that a dyke should be built but that
it should not be built along the river
bank in a place that will keep all fu-
ture high water from flooding dam
aged lands.
This decision was reached in accord
ance with the wishes of the owners
aged by foods. The owners of the
land wish to reclaim it and to do so
want future floods to carry rich depos-
its on the lands and thereby enrich
them.
Waggener Brothers, who operate a
large farm in the river bend west of
Rossville, have about so acres of land
adjoining the river which was flooded
a deposit of sand left. 1t was pro-
posed to build a dyke on the north
bank of the Kansas river at a point
which would prevent this SO acres of
land ever being flooded again. The
Waggeners announced that if such was
done they would claim $500 damages.
In other words if anything was done
to prevent the SO acres from being
flooded again the owners would seek
to recover.
This is a new phase of the levee or
dyke agitation which has just been
brought to the notice of the county
D.
Mcpherson, c. w. Higginbotham and
D. NJ. Howard. decided that they
would report that dyke should be
built but it should be erected at a
point which would prevent high waters
from backing into farming country re-
mote from the river but which would
allow the water to flood the Waggener
land.
The Waggeners are using every
means to reclaim their fifty acres and
their example is being followed by
many other valley farmers. When the
flood of 1903 swept over the Waggener
land the soil was washed away and
when the flood receded about seven
feet of rich soil had been washed
away. This seven feet of soil had been
Deposited within the last half century
for the washing away of the soil dis
closed an old buffalo trail and also
an old clay oven. The flood of last
spring left about six inches of rich soil
on this land to help replace the seven
feet that was lost.
There is a thick crop of sandburs
growing the fiftq acre piece of
ground and they have helped to keep
the soil there, to prevent it's being
washed away. and to catch deposits.
Many farmers along the river have
breaks to keep the winds from carry
ing away soil from damaged lands.
Much of the sandy lands have been
planted to clover and alfalfa. The
roots hold the soil and sand together
and the tops catch deposits.
On October 81 the county commits
sioners will act as viewers for the
North Topeka river levee and will re-
port November what shall be done.

have been patched up and that the
sugar rates will be put back to the
place where they were before the fight

After getting satisfactory assurances
from the steamship lines that they
would advance rates, the railroad Off
Gals agreed to restore sugar rates to
their normal basis on Nov. /.
The present rate on sugar from New
