Suicide Uses Deputy's Gun.

Lebanon, Ore, April 22.-W. H.
Beard, one of the best known pioneer
farmers in this part of Linn county
shot himself in the head at noon to-
day, while temporarily insane. He
seems to have lost his mind Saturday
night, when he left his home about
dark and roamed about the country
until today. He took with him a
Winchester repeating shotgun, and
several neighbors who saw him Sun
day were driven off by threats Of be-
ing shot. This morning Deputy Sher-
iff Green of Lebanon, with a posse
of several men, went out for him.
They found him several miles from
home, in the woods. and induced him
to get into a buggy with the deputy
sheriff. When they had gone a short
distance, Beard slipped a S2-callber
hammerless revolver from a side coat
pocket of the officer and before he
could be disarmed had shot three
times. two of which took effect in
the right side OF his head near the
ear.

Questions and Criticisms Put Upon the
Capable Author of Procession of
Planets.
(By ID. Leahy)

(By u Leany)
| think | am free to say | don't like Mr..
Heads astronomy the least little bit. He
asks, If the planets are not falling what
other possible force can compel them to
move?" That is not the kind of question a
person posted in physical law would be ex-
pected to ask.
Suppose We place a horseshoe magnet
and needle upon level plane, the needle
being beyond the reach of the magnets
power: VIII the needle fall to the magnet?
Suppose we move the needle within the
sphere of the magnets influence, will the
movement of the needle be the result of a
fall or the result Of pull?
There is no up and down in space,-no
bottom and top. Matter moves inward to a
center and outward to a circumference.
This rule is absolutely universal It is a
rule in a community of human beings as
well as in solar system. Centrifugal force
is due to the tendency of a moving body to
move in a straight line. Moving bodies are
subject to restraint when they move along
curved lines. That is the reason why rail
road track is made to form an inclined
plane around a curve The level plane is
gradually shaded into the inclined plane
and that again into level plain where the
train reaches a straight line. Centrifugal
force or the tendency to leave the track
at the tangent ought to be enough to con
vince any one that planet does not fall
to the sun Of it's own volition. II falls to
the sun because it is pulled by the sun.
The shortening of the orbit proves moth
ing for Mr. Heads theory. It is not due to
the supposed fact that the body is falling

suredly true of the sun. This motion orig
mates when the planet is in a gaseous
state, and dies away as the planet cools
and congeals. A rotary motion is impaired
where two particles of matter are drawn
together by affinity. And here is where the
rotary motion of a planet originates.
An orbit is the result of attraction and
counter attraction.
The sun is growing body that is grad

Anthropomorphism and anthropopathy

It is incredible that an educated mother
