THE COUNTY NORMAL.
Work Closed To-day and Examina-

Aside from examinations and other
matters, the work of the Mahaska
county normal ended today and the
occasion was marked by a special
chapel program. This years session
was better than formerly and more in
terest was taken than ever before.
The faculty was one of the best in
the history of the institute and their
work was unsurpassed. ...
The examinations for county certi-

building tomorrow, Thursday, and Fri

The Radebaugh Lecture.
A good audience greeted DR.. Rade-
baugh in his excellent lecture, "Abra.
ham Lincoln in Cartoon and Story"
given at Penn college chapel Tuesday
evening. This is an interesting lee
ture in which DR.. Radebaugh shows
by means of the stereoscope about
eighty different views Of the cartoons
of Mr.. Lincoln by the different papers
OF the country and also the Lincoln
papers. One may gather from these
cartoons that Mr.. Lincoln was not
held in the highest esteem in the days
of his political activity, nor did the
people believe in him as we are want
to respect and regard him today. DR..
Radebaugh tells of his trials with his
cabinet and the momentous questions
of war, his domestic trials also, and
how he oftentimes stood alone, and in
the end triumphed.

SEEN NEAR DARBY, PA.
MAY BE PRACTICAL JOKE
selated Wayfarer of Delaware County
Frightened by Mysterious Thing
and Many Residents Are
Aiming Themselves.

Darby. Pa.-All Delaware county is
stirred up over the supposed antics of
an alleged wild animal which is as
serted to look like gorilla and to
have frightened sulated wayfarers al
most out of their wits in various parts
of the county. While it is believed by
most persons that the whole thing is
a practical joke on the part of some
one who is literally making a mon
key out of himself. still many of the
more timid class are thoroughly
alarmed and fully believe all the tales
that are told about the mysterious
creature.
Those protesting to have seen the
wonderful animal, assert that it some
times goes upright ike a man and
then dashes along on all fours with
marvellous speed, maintaining queer
galloping gait. They furthermore feel
certain that it has coat of dark
hair but that is not considered re
markable. as the weather is cool.
Their stories of how they almost en-
countered the strange beast have been
so thrilling that many of the negroes
in the county cannot be induced to
pass the spots where it is said to have
been seen. Others have purchased
pistols and go about armed, fully re
solved to sell their lives dearly should
they encounter the mythical monster
in any of its hypothetical haunts.
Others take the thing seriously with
out being unduly alarmed and they try
to explain the matter. That it is an
ape escaped from some geological col
lection is the most commonly accepted
theory. This was strengthened by a
rumor that the authorities of the
Geological Gardens of Philadelphia
-'ere out looking for a lost Simian
in Delaware county. But telephone
message to the zoo exploded the story.
All the Philadelphia monkeys are safe

ure was reported to have been seen.
1t is now stated that the traps were
found broken, the bait devoured and
all evidences on hand of a struggle
made by some animal.
The practical joker who is working
the scare, If such is the case, has
succeeded to an extent which may
work his own harm. For there are
number of Delaware county citizens
who, while not getting in Mysteries
about the matter, have quietly placed
big guns in their hip pockets and are
waiting for chance to pot anything
that looks like baboon.
