Do Animals Have SOusIsl

Scientific developments of the
last few years have made it plain
that thereis no place where the
line can be drawn between the
higher animals and certain types
of vegetable life, or even between
life itself and the world of in
organic matter. 1t IS clear that
some radical changes in current
beliefs are destined to result from
these startling discoveries.
Prof. G. H. Fowison, head of
the department of philosophy of
the University of California, startl-
ed his class in ethics the other day
by declaring that animals have
reflective capacity which qualities
them to be classed as reasoning
beings, with intelligence, that
latter being assumed to be i'm
mortal. The religion of Budha
was cited by Prof, Howison as an
example of recognition given by a
great religious teacher to the
lower animals, recognition" he
said nowhere granted by Jesus
Christ.
Regarding the intelligence of
animals, he said: Animals have
intellect as do men. The difference
in intellect consists in the differ
ence in hindrance to the intellectual
faculty. Increased intelligence
means increased control, perfected
control. Do animals reflect as man
does? Undoubtedly they do. III
they reflect, then they have in
aelligence. Once it is admitted
that they have intelligence, then
you must admit that they are to
exist eternally just as much as you
are to exist eternally. Are animals
capable of overcoming the him
drance to their intellectual faculty?
! say yes. Exchange.

la Fayette Dollar.

Charley LEM showed us today a
Lafayette dollar which he had got
ten last night from a drummer at
a cost of S2.25. The dollar on one
side has the profile of Washington
and Lafayette under which is the
inscription Lafayette Dollar.
The reverse side contains a like
ness of the monument created in
Paris to Lafayette by the youth of
America. The hero IS shown as
seated upon charger with sword
in his right hand Immediately
beneath which is inscribed, Paris
1900. =" The inscription encircling
this side of the dollar is Erected

in honor of General Lafayette. "

The Gar of Russia owes one OF
his titles to, slip of the pen. The
Chinese character pronounced
Hwane. meaning Emperor, was
originally compounded of two ele-
ments, meaning oneself and
ruler. by which it was intimated
that an Emperor or ruler of men
should, before all things, be mas
ter of himself. In after ages, how
ever. by the omission of single
stroke, this character assumed It's
present corrupted form, in which
the component element signify
white and ruler white hav-
ing taken the place of the original
oneself. Some years ago 1t was
pointed out by a St. Petersburg
correspondent of the London Times
that this has been literally trans
lated By the Mongols into tchagar
khan, and then by the Russian,
into biely car, or the whit,
car. by which name the Empero,
of Russia is known throughout th'
srhole of Asia.

John Gretchman, young man
living near Springfield, was the
victim of a serious accident on the
Fourth. It seems that he was fir
ing an anvil and was using a broom
stick to tamp down the powder.
The stick became fast in the hole,
so he sawed it off near the anvil
and undertook to bore hole
through it 80 that he might ignite
the powder. In boring the drill
became hot, and when it struck the
powder caused an explosion which
threw the drill with great force
against his breast and arm, cut
ting serious gashes. His eyes were
also injured SO badly that he was
taken to Sioux City to be treated
by a specialist. This is the only
serious accident that occurred in
this county on the Fourth so far
as we have learned.

The supreme court Of South Da-
kota in the case of Bon Homme
county vs.. J. A. McLouth has de-
cided in favor of the defendant.
In October 1902 Mr.. McLouth, who
was then superintendent Of schools,
left the state and was absent for a
month, leaving no one in charge of
his Office. The board of county
commissioners, which by the way
was not the present board, passed
a resolution declaring the Office va
cant, and withholding his salary
for the balance of his term of Of
fee. In the trial before the circuit
court Mr.. McLouth demurred to
the complaint on the ground that
it did not state that any person
had been disconnected by his fail
,ure to be in his Office, and the
court sustained the demurrer. The
case was appealed, and the gu
preme court has now sustained the
decision of the lower court.

of a farmer named Vardman living
near LIE Sueur, Mimi. is given in

the name of the paper has any sig

that the farmer and his family

July 4th when his team became
frightened by dog. The lines
broke and the family were at the
mercy of the running team.
Ahead of them was deep preci :
pice which had been spanned by q

washed away and an obstruction
had been placed across the road to
direct travellers to drive around.

ment a bolt Of lightning struck the
horses, killing them instantly, and
