POTATO BUG STUDY is BASIS
OF THEORY DISPUTING DARWIN.
Prof. Tower Says Evolution Is BY ri.
rect Response to Conditions Of
Existence.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-Prof. w. L. Tower
Of the university Of Chicago, who has
been working on new theory of evo-
luton to supplant those Of De vries
and Darwin, brought before the scien-
lists Of the American association for the
adyanccent Of science his experiments
and conclusions reached with the potato
bug.
With many sizes and colors Of lep-
tinotarsa, af hich the potato bug Is one
form, the scientist made series Of four
demonstrations which were said to be
Of world wide Importance.
Prof. Tower has studied the bug here,
in the Southwest and Mexico for IL
years in many different environments.
His conclusions is that evolution has not
taken place wholly by nutrition, nor by
natural election.
II am Of the opinion that the evolu-
ton Of the genus leptnotarsa and Of
annals in general has been continu-
Gus and direct, developing new species
and Migrating races BY direct response
to the conditions of existence" he said.
The American association for the adj
vancement Of science elected Thomas G.
Cbambedlin, university of Chicago, pres
ident. Among the elected is Vice Pres
ident F. Swain. institute of Technology,
Boston.
Prof Tower told the scientists that
in addition to proving the falsity Of
famous doctrines OF evolution in his
study of the bugs, he has succeeded in
increasing the number Of longitudinal
"a. L.
the stripts to run crosswise in some in
stances and doing away with stripes all
together in other cases.

How Bismark Discou aged Official Cor
respondence h Russian.

The question of diplomatic language
has been raised in CAiaa for the FIRST
time in our recollection by the Japanese
within the last week or two. Up to the
present time treaties have been made out
in the language of :he West as well as
in that Of China, and in each case it has
been stipulated that if there were found
to be any difference between the two
Western should be held to be the corr
rect version. But as rifle, we believe,
communications with native officials
have been in Chinese, and the japanese
in sending in theirs in their own tongue
have attempted to create an awkward
precedent.
For a very long period the diplomatic
language Of Europe has been French,
though of late years there have been
many breaches Of the rule. English was
largely spoken, for example, at the Ber
lin Congress after the Russo-Turkish
War
An amusing story Is told Of the man
ner in which the iron chancellor dis
couraged the st. Petersburg authorities
from writing to him in Russian. He
gave instructions that all communica-
tions received in other languages than
German, French, English and Italian
should be left unoticed and put away
in the archieves. Budberg then wrote
screed after sereed in Russian. No al
swer was returned and the documents
were all laid by with the state papers.
AZ last he came himself and asked why
ne had received no reply. Bismark
himself tells the story;

Why, he mad written a month ago and
had sent men several reminders.
'Ah, quite 50, / said. There is

The END OF THE
JAYHAWKERS.

[Origlnall
During the civil war celebrated
Kansas jayhawker named Bugbee rode
at the head Of a band Of outlaws,
leaving desolated track behind him
Among his other crimes was the muir
der Of the Hamblin family on their
farm near Marysville Mary Hamblin,
aged twenty, was engaged to Elliot
Frost, soldier in the Union army.
Frost was discharged at the end Of the
war and went home to Kansas to find
only the grave Of the girl he had ex-
pected to welcome him. Standing there
by the heaped earth, now covered with
waving grass. he swore that he would
not rest till he had killed Bugbee.
Bugbee, finding that Kansas was be-
coming too law abiding for further OPP
erations, crossed the line and went into
Colorado. He took with him seven or
eight of bis jayhawkers with view
to operating on the different stage
lines In the region about Denver.
Frost went to Denver and heard at
once that the Bugbee gang was the
terror OF every road lending out of
that town, but 1t was impossible to
locate them. AT one time they would
operate on the route southwark to
Pixies peak and the next day would be
heard OF on the road leading south
eastward into Indian Territory. Then
within a week a robbery would be
committed on the south fork Of the
Platte, and Bugbee would turn out TO
have led the robbers. No vigilance
committee could locate them.
Frost, who had been a cayalryman
during the war, secured a horse and
started for the last place the Bugbee
gang had left their visiting cards. The
country is an unbroken plain, and the
young man could ride where he
pleased, but SO could the road agents,
and IT was more difficult to head them
off than If they had had to travel only
by the roads.
After a months chase Frost tracked
the gang to a point within the en-
trance Of the canyon directly west and
about twenty miles from Denver.
Frost rode into Golden City one even
ing. fifteen miles west Of Denver. and
while eating his supper heard miner
who had come down from Empire tell
Of meeting a prospecting party Of eight
men in camp five miles up the canyon
who had asked him when the Denver
coach would pass up, they wishing TO
take passage up to the mines. Frost,
putting this with information be al
ready had. was sure the prospectors
were the Bugbee gang and that they
would rob the next coach that passed
up. Since the coach would not pass
the point where the miner had met
them Till the next afternoon about 2
O'clock, there was time to lay trap.
There was nothing at Golden City
except hosiery. but fresh horse
was obtained, and Frost put spurs for

morning the editorial in one OF
our local papers attacking the
policies and methods of the Great

great injustice to the head OF the
company who holds throughout the
state the reputation OF making
Mountain Home the prosperous and
growing village it is today and his
associates who firmly believe are
doing all in their power for the fu-
ture of Mountain Home and its
tributary counry under great disad-
vantages and many obstacles.

Beet Sugar company's endeavors

We will have an cngin of our own
here within few days and will
soon have the whole 700 acres,
which we intend setting this
spring, ready for the orchard men
to begin the work of setting. We
will have all the water we need on
