THE NAIVE MIR. BRYAN.
Tackles the Theory OF Evolution and
Says Things.
Chicago Post


Il am not yet convinced that man is a
Iineal descendant OF lower animals but
II anyone takes pleasure in tracing his
ancestry back 10 monkeys / would be the
last TO interfere with him. The theory OF
evolution is a dangerous theory, for II
man from monkeys why not monkeys from
man? have seen them going In both
directions. Then the theory Of evolution
does not explain the mystery OF life"
These, the latest words Of the silver
tongued Bryan upon the theory OF evolu-
ton, will breed, we fear. In most normally
educated people a desire TO revert 70 the
practices OF the long-fOrgotten past and
hurl a cocoanut az the seasoned orator Of
the Platte. II would be hard 70 find a
man OF Mr.. Bryan's prominence In English
public life who would be guilty Of an
equal number OF ineptitudes IN the same
space and on the same theme. Mr.. Bryan
has stolen for ehautauqua time which
should have been spent In reading con

TAX COLLECTIONS OF
PAST YEAR IN COUNTY
EXCEED ALL RECORDS
TRUSTEE M'FALL MAKES ESCEP-
TIONALLY FINE REPORT
FOR 1910.
DELINQUENT LIST VERY SMALL
County Has Over $4,000 in Strong
Box Divided Among the Different
Funds, the Schools Having the
Largest Balance on Hand.

Exceeding by more than $4,000 the
total collections for the previous
year, the final report Of Trustee Nc
Fall for tax collections for 1910, is
the best ever made in the history of
Maury county. The trustee collected
an aggregate of $155,661.67 as COM
pared with total collections for the
previous year of $145,734.89.
The tax aggregate for the year
1910 exceeded that for the previous
year, and this accounts very largely
for the increased collections although
the picked up taxes were $4,000 more
for the past year than they were for
the year before. The list Of errors,
insolvencies and delinquents for 1910
was slightly less than the list for
the former year. The close coilec-
lions made by the trustee are trib-
ute to him and his efficient deputy,
W. H. Puryear
Although the law had been chang
ed so that the Trustee could not get
his releases from the county court
until week after all the other trus-
tees in the State had secured releas-
es, Trustee McFall was the fourth
trustee in the State to make final
settlement with the Comptroller for
the taxes collected during the last
year. He paid into the State treasu-
ry last Mondy the sum of $3,755.92
which balanced his account to a cent
The following is a statement of the
collections for 1910 and 1909 and a

WAS ARAIN OF HUMAN FLESH
Engine Bursts in Round House, and
Ten People Torn Into Frag-
ments in Texas.

SMITHVILLE, Texas.-Ten shop
employees of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad were torn to frag-
ments and seven others were injured
today when an engine under repair
exploded in the Smithville yards.
Besides the loss of life railroad prop
erty valued at 100000 was destroy
ed.
The locomotive just had been run
from the repair shop to be tested
when the explosion occurred. A
machinist at the time was attaching
safety valve. The engine was
blown to atoms, two other locOmo-
tives standing on nearby tracks were
wrecked and the roundhouse was
partially demolished.
With the bursting of the boiler a
rain of fragments of the engine and
portions of human bodies fell for
several hundred yards. Pieces of
flesh and clothing were literally driv-
en- into the shattered walls of the
roundhouse. In several instances
Identification was not possible.
The exact cause of the explosion
has not been determined.
