Who Knew David Clarke?

Inquiry is made for information
concerning one of Lancasters early
settlers, one David Clarke, a native
of Nova Scotia, who lived some
where in this neighborhood in 1848.
He wrote to his brother in that year
that his son was an officer in the
American army then in Mexico,
with Gen Scott. Is there any old
pioneer who knew him? If so, tell
The Herald about it.

LEFT BIG ESTATE.
Former Potosi Dentist Became Wealthy
After Going to France.

After Going to France.
Final settlement of the estate of
Thomas W. Evans, the Paris
dentist, was made Saturday when
Arthur B Huey, a Philadelphia at
tofneY, paid overto the heirs the
money due them amounting to
$500, 600. Most of his property,
valued at millions of dollars has
been bequeathed for the founding
of the Thomas w. Evans Museum
and Institute.
The name of Thomas w. Evans
has familiar sound to many old
residents of Grant county. He
located in Potosi in the early days
and many old citizens are proud to
say that ne worked on their teeth"
while others state that he never
amounted to anything as dentist"
Perhaps they judge HIM by the
standards of dentistry of today for
he was pioneer in that profession.
Finally after very quiet career
in the little river village he decided,
for evident reasons to quietly leave
Potosi, taking no trouble to settle
several debts he had contracted
while there.
When next heard of he was the
hero of a very romantic adventure.
During the French revolution pre-
ceding the restoration of the re-
public the life of the Empress
Eugene was in danger from the
hands of mob but due to the
courage of young American dentist
she was able to escape in safety.
This man was afterward found out
to be the same Thomas w. Evans
who practiced at PotosI.
His courage IN this affair gained
him the favor and patronage of
the nobility of France, and before
his death which occurred about ten
years ago he had made himself the
richest dentist in the world.

In the case of a Semi-weeklY
the paper going to every subscriber
who owes for nine months Subscrip-
tion or more must be cut off the

must be affixed to every copy sent
out to such delinquent subscriber.
II will thus be seen that in all such
Instances it would cost Sl.04 per
year postage alone, aside from the
trouble of affi<in8 the stamps, as
the Herald prints two issues each
week or I04 issues per year. No

It would thus be necessary to cut
all such names from the list or

Mango Question.

1t would seem to be nearly time for
the stockmen of the west to get together
and call a halt on the mango inspection
farce now being conducted by the
federal government, says the Denver
Record-Stockman. If the mango were a
dangerous and fatal disease there might
be some excuse for the inconvenience
and loss the cattle industry has been
subjected to during the past several
years, or if there was any chance that
the infection could be completely eradi-
Gated by the methods pursued there
might be a reason for it, but as a matter
of fact the government has made practi-
cally no progress in the matter and there
is little likelihood that there will be any
results ever come from present methods.
Cattle mango or scabies is a skin
parasite and while its presence on cattle
is detrimental many are of the opinion
that it is no worse than lice or other
parasites. The cattle owner himself is
the principal sufferer from the infection,
and every cowman now knows what to
do to get rid of it. Each state now has
plenty of law to punish any cattleman
who permits infected cattle to run at
large and infect his neighbours cattle,
and this thing of compelling the dipping
of clean cattle or forcing them into in
fected pens in the stock yards and thus
injecting them has become an expensive
nuisance that should no longer be
tolerated. AS a matter of law and justice
it is extremely doubtful if the state or
government has a right to force unin-
fected cattle to be treated or exposed.
The government is paying out millions
of dollars and employing an army OF
veterinaries to combat this infection.
Quarantine rules and regulations have
been made as onerous as possible, and
if the country were suffering from a fatal
infection it could hardly be worse. As
long as the government will dig up the
salaries for the inspectors the cattle
mango will probably be a burning issue,
When the appropriation for this purpose
is cut off then the mango wilE.no longer
be heard of. I, up to the cattlemen,
Whenever they get together and say
"Stop!" this farce will end. As long as
they quietly submit they will continue to
be dictated to by government inspectors.

era of faith and the phantoms created
by the fearful imagination of our
terrified ancestors had completely van
ished. We have learned that we are
not fallen creatures. but beings Of
growth and development.
The church has every reason to feel
alarm. but the cry of persecution is
in strange contrast with her own
history. Chagrined at the loss of
temporal power, and in despair at its
rapidly waning spiritual power. its
advocates have resorted to the use of
Stimulants. and excite themselves by
struggling for partial legislation
whereby longer lease may be had
upon life The warfare made upon
Christian theology by science and
philosophy has been one of mentality.
Intellect were its only weapOns and
the human mind its battle ground. In
this great struggle the church lost out.
1t was utterly incapable Of success
fully meeting the battering rams of
logic Step by step the church was
compelled TO retreat. In vain it tried
to live by Apology and sought to have
its past forgotten.
But for the slight efforts at real hui
man work the modern church would
cease to exist. Only as it tries to heal
IA wounded heart by real human effort;
only as it seeks to uplift and ennoble
humanity. will even the modern
church be tolerated. Intelligence can
ignore its absurd spiritual preten-
sions and be willing to extend some
credit for tho little human good it
may strive to do.

THEOLOGY'S DESPAIRING CRY

Church writer's are now crying out
against what they are pleased to call
Ghe persecution OF science and phil
osophy."
For years both science and philoS-
ophy suffered persecution at the hands
Of the church and church leaders i'm
prisOned and put to death both scient-
lists and philosophers.
The prosecutions Of the Church
were extremely realistic and convinc.
ing. The alleged prosecutions of
science and philosophy are imagi-
nary. The former wrought physical
suffering and pain. The latter have
simply bombarded old and settled
beliefs.
But is it not strange that church
advocates should be compelled to rely
upon an arguments of persecution
If to shatter ancient faiths by the
pronunciation of newly unfoded truth
can be called persecution then, indeed.
is the orthodox church the victim Of
persecution. but it is persecution
that cannot be stfled or repressed.
Men sought for some relief from the
peStilential darkness in which the
church had surrounded human destiny
and scientific truth aided by philoso
ply shed their beneficient beams upon
an unhappy world. The first step to-
ward the embodiment Of truth was
turning away from the church and the
years have opened up wide AMI i'm
pasSable gulf that cannot be bridged
by prayer or faith Science made the
revelation that the Christian church
was lacking foundation and it has
successfully undermined the entire
structure.
From the time Constantine assembled
the throne of political power i'll Rome
until some years after the formation OF
the American government. the church
persistently prosecuted those who
could not swallow the foolish faith.
The butcheries of Rome. the religious
onslaughts of Charlemagne. the Bar
thol0mew maSSacres, the torture OF
Quakers, the whipping of children, the
burning Of men and women, the I'M
prisonment of heretics. were the
to force acceptance of the creeds.
This was persecution with vengeance
and in its most fearful forms. The
name Of god sanctioned every crime
Through the persistent efforts of men
ike Votaire and Paine, who openly
defied the church power and promul-
gated the new theories Of existence
and voluntarily called upon them
selves the hatred and malice of the
votaries of superstition we came
