IN FAR oFF MARS.
People Of Planet Hoarding Every Drop
of Water.

While the people on the planet Of
Mars are supposed to be vastly super
ior In every way to the inhabitants
of this earth, according to Prof. Lest
er F. Ward, of Brown university, they
have only about 1000, 900 more years
to live, while the people Of this world
are only beginning their allotted
space of $40 5000 years.
Thirst will kill the Martians, the
professor says, and wen now it is dry
time perpetually up there. Most Of
the waters that once covered every
thing have vanished in the same way
that this planet is all the while losing
hydrogen, one of the two components
of water. This process b s proceeded
so far on Mars that most of the liquid
refreshment of its inhabitants, assum-
ing it has such, is confined to narrow
circles about the two poles. 1t is
made available for the uses of the
Martians only by means of an intri-
cate network of canals.
"On Mars We can, as it were, see
with u W eyes a race of vast an
tiquity and supreme wisdom, clinging
desperately to the orb that bore it,
half gasping for breath, and boarding
every drop of it's precious water, but
doomed in the relatively near future
to face the lingering death of a dying
world
This gloomy picture, Prof. Ward
says, is in store for the people Of this
earth, but there is no need of worry at
the present time, as it is 10000 900
years distant.

Patillo has gained the reputation of
being n of the ablest ministers who
ever occupied a Lexington pulpit.
He is not only a thinker and orator
of ability, but an excellent pastor
and a good citizen. 1t is largely due
to his efforts that the new Methodist
church will be built.

who came to town Thursday, going to
the depot with two new grips.
Indications were that he had gone
to Kansas City, So the sheriff and
Mr.. Ladeson went onthe lO;40.
They stopped in independence, bat
could find no clues there and went to
Kansas City. In police headquarters
they procured some old clothes and
started out to make a tour of the
negro saloons. About four o'clock
they went into the one at 9Th and
Grand and there Mr.. Kinkead recogni
zed Harris, who was playing cards. He
had on one of the stolen suits, too,
which Mr.. Ladeson readily identified.
The purloined grips we're in the
saloon and the only things stolen
which were not recovered were the
three watches which had been sold.
Harris was brought back on the
early train and lodged in
Jail. He has a criminal record be-
hind him, having served n term in
