HELD UP By A NEGRO.
Young Man Robbed and Locked in Car
Between Larned and Pawnee Rock.

9 Virgil Moore was in Dodge City
Saturday with thirty-fve or forty
dollars, a gold watch and several
rings. He was in Great Bend Sunday
minus all his valuables. Moore had
been working in a railroad restaurant
in Dodge and was acquainted with
all the trainmen. A porter on number
eight told him to get in a refrigerator
car and he would be all right as far
as Newton. At some station east of
Dodge, presumably Larned, negro
boarded the car where Moore was,
and at the point of revolver, made
him divulge the aforesaid valuables.
The negro then beat the young man
about the head and otherwise
maltreated him. When hetrain stopp-
ed at Pawnee Rock the negro left 1t
and locked the refrigerator car on the
outside. Moore tore the door open
by the time the train reached Great
Bend, and notified the officers, who
telePhoned to Pawnee Rock and
made a search of all the cars in the
local yards. The Hutchinson police
were also notified to keep lookout.
Nothing has been heard of the robber
yet. Moore left on number six for
the east this morning. He was on his
. way home to Wichita to accompany
his sister to the Worlds Fair. There
is moral to this tail: It sometimes
pays to pay your fare.

FIRE AT. .HOISINGTON
The Farmers Elevator Partially Burns,
Saturday Evening.

About 8 p. m. Saturday the
Farmers Elevator, at Hoisington
caught on fire from hot box on the
shafting. The fire. boys turned out in
short order, and the flames were con-
fined to the machinery department
and soon got under control. The
loss will be about $1,000, fully
covered by insurance. Had the en-
tire plant burned the loss would have
been heavy, as we understand there
was about $4,000 bushels of wheat
stored in the elevator. Mr.. Kackley,
the manager, feels that they were ex-
ceedingly fortunate in not sustaining
heavier loss.

The Philosophy of Life.
heavier los:

According to science, there are
three possibilities of life which are
opened to all living organisms, Bal
ance, Degeneration aad Evolution.
When an organism ceases to cor
respond with its environment, it has
begun to degenerate and death is
inevitable. But SO long as an or
ganism has perfect correspondence
with the outer world, it is not alive,
= but it is impossible for it to die, and
out of itself is ever developing a
higher expression of life.
Evolution is a coming into life.
The law of EPIGENEsIs not suddenly
9nor a sudden metamorphosis of a
formative substance into a miniature
of the whole, which subsequently
. grows;abut by successive differentia-
) ton of a relatively homogeneous
rudiment into parts and structures
vhich are characteristic of the adult.
Bonnet affirms that before fecunda-
ton the hens egg contains perfect
but miniature chick. The conse-
quence of this intersusceptive growth,
by fecundation and incubation, is
'the development" or evolution of
germ inte the visible bird.
BY evolution DIR. Bonnet means
simply expansion of that which is
invisible into visibility. But the
above theory was overthrown by
Wolf, who in his "Theoria Genera
!. tions" in 1859 gave the opposite
theory of epigenesis upon the secure
foundation of fact, and was further
aided by the founding of "modern
embryology" in the first part of the
nineteenth century.
Modern evolution is at present
employed in biology as general
name for the history of the steps by
which any living thing has acquired
morphological characteristics whic b
Distinguish it.
AS civil history may be divided in
photography the history ofindividuals.
and universal history which is the
history of the human race, 50 evolu-
ton falls naturally into two catagories
the evolution of the individual and
that of the sum total of living beings.
1t is therefore proper that we deal
with the modern doctrine of evolu-

1.-THE EVOLUTION, OR PHILOSOPHY,
OF THE INDIVIDUAL. No exception
is at this time known cf the general
law, that every living thing is evolv-
ed from a particle of living matter in
which no trace of the distinctive
characters of adult form of that living
thing is discernible.
This particle of living matter is
called germ. The definition of a
germ is .'matter potentially alive and
having within itself a tendency to
assume a definite living form"
This appears to meet ali the requir-
ments of modern science. The
great characteristic OF a germ is not
what it is, but what it may become
under suitable condition.
Aristotle and Harvey thought
these germs might proceed from non
living matter, and the aphorism so
commonly ascribed to Harvey,
"Omne vivum ex ovo" Gall that lives
comes from the egg. But modern
science has proved from both plants
and animals that "Omne vivum ex
vivo" (all life comes from life) is
true.
In all cases, the philosophy of life
as found in evolution consists in a
succession of changes of the form,
structure and functions of the germ,
by which it passes step from by step
an extreme simplicity of visible
structure to more or less degree of
complexity in its upward march to
higher form of life.
2. The Philosophy of or Evolution
into Spiritual life. Is not what is
true in the natural world also true in
the spiritual world? Is not the
spiritual world a kingdom of law and
order where the eternal virtues are
clearly manifest? Is not the physical
the beginning of life that is to grad
uate into what is called the spiritual
life? What is the passing from the
kingdom of darkness into the king
dom of light, from the kingdom of
Satan into the kingdom of Gods
dear Son, from the kingdom of death
into the kingdom of life, but pro-
cess of evolution begun, continued
and completed by the Holy Spirit?
AS in the physical life, when an
organism fails to correspond with its
environment, death is inevitable, so
also with the spiritual life. But so
long as the organism is able to
maintain perfect correspondence
with the outer world. death is impos-
sible, so alsowith the soul. So long
as the spiritual life maintains a per-
feet correspondence with God, ''the
Spirit bearing witness with our spir-
its', we are not only alive spiritually,
but spiritual death is impossible, and
out of itself is ever evolving. higher
and higher expression of life until we
shall see him and shall be like Him
forever.
