KILLS HIS

GUAfiDJDHIMSELF Remarkable Tragedy Occurs on a Northwestern Train Near Milwaukee.

(National News Association) MILWAUKEE, Jan. 24. Alexander J. Schutte, a maniac, shot and killed ilJoseph Budd, his keeper, and then 'committed suicide on a Northwestern (passenger train near Waukesha today. 'The shooting occurred in the smoking ear where the two men were riding and caused a panic among the passengers. Budd was on his way from Mank&to with his charge. Schutte was to !be placed iu a Milwaukee sanitarium. How the maniac got possession of the Opistol is not known. The bodies were brought to Milwaukee.

THE AGE OF MAN.

. Soienee Places It Between 400,000 and 3,000,000 Years. v It Is quite possible, said Professor A. Keith In a lecture to the British association at Dundee, that man as we know him now took on bis human characteristics some where near the beginning of the pliocene period, and while the exact date is simply a guess the best estimates available Indicate 1,408,000 B. C. as not rar from the truth. If the evidence of the flint collectors is accepted as authentic, pliocene man is a possibility. Professor Keith was sure we had traced ourserves back to the middle of the pleistocene, when we were accompanied by another form of man almost as distinct from us as the gorilla is from the chimpanzee. At the beginning of the pleistocene there !vere at least two varieties of man the pre-neanderthaloid of Heidelberg and the small brained man of Java but the "representative of modern man iat that early period" has not as yet been found. : If the claims of M. Rutot are accepted, the antiquity of man is at least 8,000.000 years. According to Professor iKeith, the orthodox (by which presum!ably he meant scientifically orthodox) opinion is that "the dawn of the very earliest form of humanity lies 400.000 iyeara behind us." From all of which lit is plain that the beginnings of the 'age of man are still shrouded in mys,ery. ; "The Idea I wish to leave in your ! minds Is," aald Professor Keith In conclusion, "that In the distant past there was not one kind, bnt a number of Tery different kinds of men in ex;lsteuce. all,of which have become extinct except that branch which has given origin to modern man." New York Post.

Has His Own Death Certificate. You "never know when a man is really dead. Not even if you are a doctor. I know a man who walks about cheerfully now and occasionally pulls out from his pocketbook his death certificate, duly signed by the doctor some years ago. Just to amuse you. The doctor said he was dead. He disagreed. 'And his protest is the humorous presentation of the death certificate when ,you ask for his card. London Chronicle. Thackeray and Roast Mutton. ; Thackeray often dropped in to dlntier, sometimes announcing himself in 'verse.

EARLHAM AT BUTLER Coach Believes Team Will Take Second Game.

Coach Thistlethwaite left Richmond with the Earlham basketball squad this afternoon for Indianapolis where they will play Butler college this evening. The local team left home confident of victory. On account of the

game with Butler Wednesday night i

neither team has done much practicing and the contest will be practically a continuation of the game here with the odds in favor of Earlham. The Richmond team was somewhat handicapped in the last game by nervousness before the home crowd. They will not be bothered by this in Indianapolis. Saturday the varsity goes to Franklin.

ALLEGES GEHRING STOLE HIS WAGON John Gehring was arrested last night by Patrolman Vogelsong for taking a wagon belonging to Morton Johnson. Gehring stated this morning that he believed the wagon belonged to another man, who had told him that he could use it to do some hauling. Mayor Zimmerman postponed Gehrings hearing until tomorrow morning. The charge is grand larceny.

EARLHAM GIRLS WIN. The Earlham girls won the first match game of basketball that they have played, as a college team, for nearly ten years, yesterday afternoon, from Cedarville college, by a score of 13 to 8.

Pat's Answer. An Irishman once entered into con versation with an Englishman. The Englishman, thinking to have a jok with his companion, asked. "How many hairs on a pig's face?" "Begorra, sir," said Pat, "the nexl time you shave you can count them." London Answers.

King Peter of Servia, who is reported to be seriously ill. His illness is the result of nervous exhaustion caused by the strain of the war of the allies against the Turks.

A Test For Eyesight. An interesting test for eyesight may be had by observing Ursa Major the Great Bear on a clear starlit night. Not every one is aware that Mizar, the second star in the constellation, is a double star. To observe this doublet demands good vision. Some starry night look up to the sky and see if you can rest content in the knowledge that your eyesight is not defective.

WANT SEWER SYSTEM

Property Owners Appear Before Works Board.

O. B. FULGHUM WAS ELECTED DIRECTOR

MRS. NICHOLS, GUEST

About fifteen owners of property in

the Reeveston addition of the city ap- j

peared at the special meeting of the board of works yesterday afternoon and endeavored to secure an appropriation for a sewer system in Reeveston. There is no system on the addition and the property owners are unable to build until a sewer system is in stalled. The board made no definite decision in the matter. Wilfred Jessup stated that about twenty persons had purchased lots in the addition and most of them would build homes during the year if they could get a promise that sewers would be built. He also said that the entire addition would be sold in a short time if a sewer system were installed. City Engineer Charles believes that the improvement of Reevston Place would be a great advantage to the city, but stated that the allowance

j which was given the board for im- ! provements for 1913 was not sufficient

to allow an expenditure of fa.000, which approximately would be the city's share of the improvement.

The Greek Stadium. Stadium is from tbe Greek word meaning standard of length. It was the name given to the race course within which other athletic contests also took place. The length of the course was always 600 Greek feet straightaway. Though the length of the foot varied in different localities, you may say that about nine of the course's lengths equated one mile.
