Alcohol in Ancient Times

Considering the possible influence
of alcohol upon human evolution. DR..
Harry Campbell assumes that such
civilizations as those of Babylon and
Egypt may date back 30 900 years and
that agriculture by migratory tribes
may extend back 10000 years more,
but concludes that the use OF alcohol
as a beverage has not been known
more than 10000 years. He finds no
reason to believe that, as was sug-
gested some years ago. the discovery
OF formented liquor gave the first civ.
liking quiekening TO the brain of the
ape-man.

EUGENE Y. DEBS HAS A NEW
PREVENTIVE FOR DIVORCE

Dcs Mo!nes. Oct 11.-Eugene "
Debs at the auditorium last night told
$500 enthusiastic people that he didn't
have to work, because he could live by
his wits, and furthermore he would
push some other person out of a job
IL he did work. He also said that So
cialism is a sure cure for the divorce
evil.
Socialism, said he, proposes that
woman shall be clothed with the same
economic powers as man. She shall
be entitled to the products of her Ia
Dor and thus be erually as able to pro-
vide for her needs as ono Of the oppo.
site sex. Then she need not call on
man to support her; she will not be
the servile creature she now is, but
will be easily capable OF caring for her
self instead of awaiting the opporturi-
lily oil being supported by man.
Result OF Socialism.
THE result will be that marriages
viii be those of love and not OF mer.
cennry motives. The vcnal man md
yenal woman will be thing OF the
past and the only possible reason for
marriage viii he a union Of hearts, a
communion Of souls.

MRS. KARL kARRER OF TREYNoR
TELLS OF ROBBERY OF
BANK.
GIVES BACK MUCH MONEY
Woman Hands Over to Sheriff $1,o15
and Tells Where More Can Be
Found-clears Up Mystery Which
Has Surrounded the Case.

Council Bluffs, Oct 11.-Mrs. Karl
Karrer of Treynor admitted last even
ing that her husband had confessed to
her the robbery of the Treynor Saw
ings bank last Thursday She also
turned over to Sheriff Canning $1,015
of the plumber and advised him where
$500 more could be secured. This
makes a total recovery of 81 AIS, while
the bank claims to have lost s1,522.
Karrer says that he cannot account for
the missing S107 unless he lost it from
his pockets in running through the
corn fields in his effort to escape.
The $400 was recovered yesterday
from Hugh Hieber, farmer near I'm
derwood. to whom it had been paid
last Friday by Mrs Karrer to cancel
a note which Karrer owed. Hieber did
not know that the money came from
the bank robbery and as soon as its
source was explained at once surren-
dered the money to the officers.
Clears Up Mystery.
Mrs. Karrer also confessed that she
is the woman who secured the livery
team in Council Bluffs with which
karrer drove to Treynor to rob the
bank. She declares, however, that
she had no knowledge of her hus--
bands intent and did not know of the
robbery until he confessed it to her
the day following. He then gave her
the money and told her to pay Hieber
the note and keep the balance. She
says that she advised him to return it
to the bank, but the officers arrested
Karrer before she could protest
further.
According to Mrs. Karrer, her hus-
band recently offered $4,000 If she
would get a divorce. He is said to
have been intimate with a neighbours
daughter, who has also shown much
interest in Karrer since his arrest.
Karrer is said to have spent the night
following the bank robbery at the
home of August Olderog in Treynor
and Olderog and his daughter, Rose,
visited Karrer at the county Jail Sun
