ORIGIN OF THE HORSE.
The Modern Animal a Cross Between
Two Ancient Breeds.

In Wissen fur ALE Professor Koenig
discusses in some detail the origin Of
the horse Of today He finds that the
horse of neolithic times was not spe-
officially distinct from the horse OF the
present. While there is no doubt that
the horse Of that period was used by
man for food. there seems to he no con-
elusive evidence rs to whether It was
domesticated or not. His own opinion,
however. ia that it was probably do
mesticated.
The horse Of that time was closely
allied to the tarpan or semiwild horse
that lived In southern Russia up to a
century ago. This was hog named"
short legged. large headed beast II
seems probable that the domesticated
horses Of the Germans Of Caesars time
were derived from this breed.
The Egyptians had horses as early
as 1900 B. c. These were long named,
more like the Arab horses. and came
from Assyria. Where the Assyrians
obtained them Is unknown, but 1t was
probably from southern Asia, where
this long named breed has been devel-
oped In all probability as the result of
long continued domestication. The
modern horse is a cross between these
two breeds, with q further mixture of
the Arab horse. This Arab horse, too
was itself q descendant Of the earlier
long named horse.
The origin Of the long named horse Is
q matter Of doubt, but Professor Koe-
mig thinks 1t nay have bsen from an
extinct I1diAn sDecieA

CASES WERE ON APPEAL.

After notice had been given in the
circuit court that the case would be
settled some days ago, Hiram VIE
land and Frank Snow, convicted after
two trials in the city court of the
charge of operating house of i'll
fame, have paid their fines amounting
in all to $50. The men were convicted
by a jury after one disagreement had
been registered in their favor. Snow
was fined SO and costs and Wieland
SO and costs.
Wieland and Snow appealed their
cases from the city court, but paid the
fines yesterday afternoon. The pros
ecutor was informed some time ago
of the intention to make a settlement
and so did not have the cases called
for trial in the circuit court. Mary
Bodelle, one of the women involved in
the case left this city and went to New
Castle, where she became involved in
trouble and was told to move on.

COLLECTION AGENCY
Prosecutor Jessup Will File No
Further Board Bill Beat
ing AffidaVitS.
ADVANTAGE is TAKEN,
BOARDING HOUSE KEEPERS OVER
CITY THREATEN PROSECUTION
TO MAKE PERSONAL GAINS
BROWN CASE DISMISSED.

People are taking advantage of the
authorities to force private gains and
am almost determined not to file an
other affidavit charging beating a
board BILL" lamented Prosecutor Jes-
sup this morning. What he stated
is a fact, judging from police court
records. Boarding house keepers take
advantage of the law and prosecute
boarders who have delayed payment
without any authentic reason. The
states attorney delivered his seeming
ultimatum a short time before moving
the dismissal of the case of the State
VS.. Harry Brown in city court this
morning. The charge was preferred
by Alexander Prayer, OF North Seventh
street
Superintendent Bailey recommended
that the case be dismissed after an in
vestigation. The law stipulates that
to prosecute for beating a board bill
the intent must be proved. There
was doubt if the case would have been
possible to prove the allegations. The
attorney for Brown stated the latter
paid so of the $11 he earned last week
for his board.
1t is claimed by the prosecutor and
other attorneys that the threat to re-
sort to police court by filing affidavits
has become common among local
boarding house keepers 1t is stat
ed the threat is made frequently so as
to brighten the boarders into making
hasty payment, Many of the propri-
etors of the boarding houses labor IN
der a mistaken impression They
believe in. a case where boarder does
not pay and they file charges against
him, the state will procure the money.
The prosecutor says his office is not
going to be used as a collecting agency
while he holds it.
When charges are filed for beating
a board bill and fine is imposed by
the court. the boarding house keeper
gains absolutely nothing except it be
witness fees. If the fine be paid the
court does not include the amount oil
Indebtedness. The only way to re.
cover on the board bill is by a civil
process.

The attempt of the Methodist
church to make $1,000 the minimum
salary which any of its ministers
shall receive may be followed by sim
liar action on the part Of the Congre-
gationalists. The Rev. DR.. George A.
Gordon of Boston, In commenting on
the matter recently, called attention to
something which is frequently forgot
ten, namely. that conditions of life
have changed, until now, instead of
churches somewhere nearly equal in
financial resources, there are some
very rich and powerful churches, and
some very poor and weak; and what
is needed Is general sustentation
fund which shall put the poorer
churches more nearly on part with
the richer ones. Dr. Gordon says.
probably with justice. that 1t is fast
becoming an impossibility to get self
respecting young men, even among
those who follow an ideal, to work for
such small salaries as many churches
pay, and therefore the churches suffer
from the lack of the kind of preachers
most needed.
