ALL CRAZY IN 100 YEARS.
chicsso Scientist Says People are Fast Grow
isg Mad.

Chicago (SpeciaD DR.. James p
Lynch has explained his statement
that all civilized men will be insane
in 700 years. He gives as the cause;
Of the increase in insanity drink, over
indulgence in drugs, the mad rush fo'
money, over-exertion, physically and
mentally; the high nervous tension o.
life and the present condition Of WON
an as wage-earner and mother.
In speaking of the part woman play.
in the increase Of insanity, DR.. Lynch
says:
The society woman and the work.
ing woman both live a strenuous life
of constant exhaustion. The gay life
of pleasure of the one woman and the
drudgery of the other are continuous
ly decreasing their nervous strength
and energy, and when brain-fagged
and physically exhausted they marry
they become the mothers of physica,
starvelings, who develop into men and
women unfit for the burdens of life
These in their turn live in the man
ner of their parents. weaker and ever
less able to stand the nervous tension
OF work and dissipation. These peo
pie are often predisposei to insanity
and nervous diseases, while often the
result is degeneration and imbecility.
when men make it possible foi
women to return to their proper place
OF home and motherhood, and they
can cease their pitiful struggle for ex-
istence, leaving the obtaining of live
lihood to the men of the family, then
the conditions that produce insanity
will diminish
among the foreign laborers, bad
whisky and beer cause more insanity
than does anything else. The reason
is that the drink is 'doctored' with CO.
colus indicus. or fish berry that is
use by the Chinese in catching fish.
"ln other words, drugs and whisky
combined are good combination
upon which to build a lunatic."

His Greatest Hopes Blasted.

Prince Herbert Bismarck had been
i'll some weeks with cancer OF the
liver. For several days before his
death, according to cablegrams. his
case was considered hopeless.
Born in IS4o, he was the eldest son
OF the late Prince Otto Bismarck, the
great Chancellor of the German En-
pire. He studied law in Berlin and
Bonn Universities, served in the Prus-
sian Army as a lieutenant of reserves
during the Franco-German War OF
1901 1871, and was severely wounded
at the battle OF Mars-la-Tour.
In 1873 he became an official OF
the Department of Foreign Affairs
and was assistant to his father, then
chancellor. He was attached to the
German Legations at Berne and at
Jenna from 1874 to 1877. Later he
became councillor OF the German En-
bassy in London and subsequently oc-
cupied the same position at ST. Peters
burg. In 1884 he was appointed Min
lister Extraordinary at The Hague, and
in 1885 he became Under Secretary
of State in the Department OF For
.ign Affairs.
OlICC ne CtdSCu 10 DC CiiuSl oNNiN
tary of Foreign Affairs on the retire
ment OF his father, Prince Herbert had
taken part in public affairs only as a
member OF the Reichstay. His atti-
tude had been that OF man not ap-
preciated by his sovereign and who
was waiting in the background for
an opportunity to resume his career.
His delivery as parliamentary
speaker improved year by year. He
always declined to join any political
group, steadfastly calling himself an
independent. His naughty and i'm
perious manners in early life, when he
was ever conscious OF the fact that he
was the son OF the most powerful
statesman in Europe, softened in later
years.
Prince Bsmarck's father trained
him to be his successor as Chancellor
of the German Empire, and it was a
heavy blow to both that this hope
could not be realized.
An incident which nearly wrecked
his career and caused the old Chan
cellor great annoyance was Prince
Chen Count Herbert's elopement
with Princess Carolath Beuthen, wife
of Prince Karl the head of distin-
guished Silesian house. The Princess
was OF the Hatzfeldt family, and young
Bismarck at the time was has fathers
private secretary. Count Herbert re-
mained with the Princess in Southern
Italy a few weeks and then, at the
command OF his father, returned to
Germany. The Princess was after
ward divorced and has since died.
The title OF Prince Bismarck and
the large fortune OF Prince Herbert
will 90 to his 7-year-old son Otto The
late Emperor Frederick gave to the
elder Bismarck extensive forests at
Friedrichsruhc, which have since in
creased in value, and the Chancellor
gave to Prince Herbert $4,000 900 in
securities and cash The estate is now
estimated TO be worth S4,ooo,ooo, ex-
elusive OF the lands.

HORRORS OF PORT ARTHUR.
Pnnee Rad1lvli Tells Of BelIigerents' Feroeity
Truce Ignored.

Cbcfoo (By Cable).-According to
Lieut.. Prince Radzivil, of the Rus
sian Army, who just reached here
from Part Arthur bearing dispatches
from Lieutenant General Stoessel, the
commander-in-che of the forces OF
the Russian strongholds, to General
Kuropatkin, the temper of the bellig-
erents at Port Arthur has reached an
absolutely merciless stage.
Prince Radzivi served with the
British in the Boer War, and he says
that until he became aware OF the
state of affairs at Port Arthur he had
no idea that war could be so horrible
1t was set forth in these dispatches
some weeks ago that serious suspi-
cions were entertained, by botn bel
ligerents that the other was msusing
the Red Cross flag. These suspicious
have been increased by the commits
sion of war acts by the soldiers OF
both armies, until now even flags OF
truce or surrender are not rspected
by either side.
Prince Radzivil declares that the
men of both armies are absolutely
venomous in their antagonism. But
General Stoessel has addressed his
garrison, saying that the present mood
of the Japs indicates clearly the ne
cessity OF resisting them to the last
drop of Russian blood, because if the
japanese soldiers entered the fortress
il undoubtedly would be impossible
for their officers to control them and
prevent massacre. For this reason
Lieutenant General Stoessel is max
ing no objection to civilians leaving
Port Arthur.
When the 800 women who are in
Port Arthur engaged in hospital work
were advised to leave. they replied
that they would rather face the posi-
bility OF massacre than desert their
posts.
In consequence of the fact that
flags OF truce are ignored, numbers
of Japanese dead who have been ly-
ing on the slopes of the hills OF the
northeast defenses for weeks past arc
still unburier. and the stencil in Port
Arthur from decomposing bodies
when the wind is in the right direction
is almost uncomfortable. The Russian
soldiers, who are in some ca5es posted
only so PAGES from heaps OF dccaying
dead, have constantly to wear over
their noses handkerchiefs soaked in
camphor, as otherwise they would be
unable to remain at their posts.
In the course OF the assaults which
took place in the four last days OF
August two companies OF Japanese
soldiers. according to Prince Radzivil
found themselves at the mercy OF the
Russians and hoisted white flag. To
this, however, the Russians paid no
attention, but continued to volley rap
idly into the helpless ranks OF the
enemy. In the meantime japanese
troops in the rear OF the companies
that had raised the white flag saw
what their comrades had done, and
expressed their disapproval OF the sur
render by firing into their rear.
AS a result from this fire from friend
and foe GOO men were annihilated. The
dead fell among the decomposng
bodies Of previous assaults.

HOW THE CENTER OF PoPuLA-
TloN is MOVING wEsT2

Kimball Graphic: The center o!
population of South Dakota has
moved slightly north since the act
i've settlement of the state began in
1880, but the movement west has
been almost imperceptible, according
to the census reports. The change
from 1890 to 1900 was but one mile
west and five miles north, and the
center Of population now is 100 miles
east Of Pierre. These figures are
authentic and will be verified by the
census bureau, il anyone cares to
write for them.
The median point OF population
the point Of intersection of the line
dividing the population equally
north and south and with the line
dividing it equally east and west-in
short, the central point of population
lis now 1873 miles east of Pierre, and
about 80 miles north of Mitchell and
Is miles east Of it. near Carthage.
The center of population and the
median point of population would be
practically the same were 1T not for
the great distance of the Black Hills
counties from the densely populated
part of the state.
When one looks over the gain of
population in the state by counties
and districts during the past ten or
fifteen years. the persistency with
which the center Of population holds
its ground is easily accounted for.
