A repetition of the horribleSilver

night last week at the school house
near the Jack Anderson place, west
of 1 ha'fiix. Iho closing enter

the improvised stage collapsed,
precipitating the organ and two
burning coal oil lamps to the floor,
A man grasped one of these getting
slightly scorched, and carried it
out of tho building. The other
was smothered, but with some
dillicultv.oii account of the children
clinging about tho KTH(iim engaged

crowded with people, young and

John I'uttiiigill, the wild man of

to Montana during tho early period

entirely on raw meat procured by
running down gamo and killing it
with a club. He wore nothing but
a breech clout, bis body being
covered with a thick growth of
hair, and tho hair from his head
and beard reaching below his waist.
Nothing has ever been learned con
cerning his lift) before coming to

are told concerning bis reasons for
retiring from civilization. I'eUin

Christianity Vrr the Endutlonary
1 ueory Boms nam Biaiemcuia.
Roland D. Orant, D. V., of Portland
was greeted by a gmxl slwd audience
at i'aiker'a opera Tmutte last evening,
to hear bis tulk on "Evolution."
be Uraul'a subject was In reality
Christianity ver.us the evolutionary
theory, concerning man. lie handled
bis tuijtt'l from a Christian stand
point of view, basing bis principles lie
Hdvaoced upon the fnuodullou of tit
bible and the teachings ol Chrikt, and
attempted to sliow that every prin
ciple advanced which was not based
Uoii the lilble was fulse. Mau is the
outcome of creation.
Dr. I Until certainly has the ad
vantage of the evolutionists, Ilia-much
as he does not pretend to prove tlie
principle of creation but simply dis
prove the theories promulgated by
Hit latter.
Ills lecture, though defending crea
tion and ridiculing (he teachings of
the modem evolutionists, was Iu the
end a very skillful attack upon the
University of Oregon and its Instruc
tors. The fact, however, that lr.
Grant comes from Portland very much
lessens the weight of bis attack lu that
direction.
Notwithstanding the bouse was very
chilly, the nkvr held h i audience
with good attention lor two aud oue
half hours. He gave a sort of Intro
ductory review of the conditions which
liave brought alsiut the evolutionary
movement aud caused It to be so gen
erally discussed in these modem limes.
He stated that the evolutionary move
ment I not a new one, but that It I
bediming more popular because skepti
cal men desire some avenue of ew-upc
from the wind of Clod. They are, there
for, trying hard to establish a prin
ciple whh h will prove conclusively
that mau was not created, hut that be
was evolved from die lower animals.
This evolutionary process f man
from animal continued until the high
est possilile state of perfection was
reached when man ceased to Improve
and remained as he Is ttslsy. The
evolutionist has depended iiihmi
science to prove this theory lor him,
and the object ( f the sa-aser was to
eziuotle It.
lie quoted many of the leading
scientists tif the world, showing that
no two of them hsd agreed lb their
calculations but that they often vastly
differed on the same subject. Thus lie
argued that science Is unreliable and
not a safe evidence upon which to
base a principle. He made some plain
statements, citing Incidents where
'deuce has again aud again disproved
itself, aud exploded lie own theories.
Iu siicaklug of the earth's construe
thin, aud of the bom s and relies of
man, In the til Meruit stages of hie
evolution (as claimed by scientists)
found many reel below Its surface, lie
argued that the earth la constantly
undergoing transformation; that erup
tions, tidal waves, etc., are continually
uiilieavlng and sutimerulug HirtloiiM
of the earth's surface; that Islands are
raising ami settling uwny In the
oceans, and that these relies of man
kind which are being discovered be
lies! It the surface, may have been de
posited theie by some such conditions
as these.
He dell ned the til Here nt animal life)
as la-lug potential withiii lis own par
ticular siiecle only. The possibility ol
animal fife is Improbable.' Uod has
so ordained that one seclu will not
cross with another, snd w hen by some
chance they do beeomo criswed the
product Is sterile, and Is not capable of
propagating Itself. Thus tho iflHereiil
species of animal life have not sprung
oue from another, but each has been
created.
The evolutionist claims that man
has advanced from the lower order of
animal life until he has reached the
highest possilile stale ol iierfeclicn, but
Drliiaut claims I hat In all Instances
animal life has retrograded has gone
backward Instead or forward. He
tpioletl scientific diseovellea ill proof of
i ins statement, laKiug tor example the
history of the trlhihite, which had
retrograded from its highest order to
thu lowest possible order, ami then
died a miserable, degraded patiier lu
comparison to Its former statu. He
cited Incidents of the hybrid, which
hail never advanced above the highest
oider of tho two species which mo-
tin ced It, but had always remained be
tween the l we.
The sM.-aker closed by stating that
he was not In lnvor of the state
nuking an appropriation for the sup
sirtoftt religious school, hut on the
other baud he was Just as strongly
oppohed to Ilio staie. supporting an in-
stituilon whose proresHors cultivated
and advanced the theories of evolu
tion, which Is thu direct enemy of
i. nrisiiauiiy."
He centered his attacks upon the
state university and its Instructors,
although there Is nothing to show (hat
they have In any way attempted to
Imbibe the theory of evolutloii Into
the minds of the sell Mil.
If there are evolutionists In the fac
ulty of tlie University of Oregon, aud
they have expressed their views in
the outside, the school should certainly
not be, condemned on that account.

ULLIK YYEDDLk'.S MlKIDH.
A s:id story is told by a corres
pondent in the Salem Journal.
Kumor lulls that she loved a boy,
an liouet, industrious vouth, who
in turn loved her, and their jits
were the highest when they were
in eae:i other's company. Yet
their love was only a youthful
love, and probably they had never
allowed the subject of marriage to
perplex their young munis.
Hut ulasl her parents without
consjlting her wishes, cho.-o for
her a man to he her lover ogniiist
whom her verv nature revolted
Then her trouble began; she was
not permitted to enjoy the pleasure
of the couipunyof the one she loved
and was compelled to go with her
parent's choice to publio pluces
there to be humiliated bv him us
he reeled in a state of intoxica
thin.
When slio would say to her
would be lover that she woi.ld
never marry him, his reply wouid
be that she would if her parents
told her to.
Allairs in this slate went on
until about a week ago when she
happened to bo in JcfJ'cr?on when
she fell into the company of her
young friend. Her would he lover
seeing them together went to her
parents and told what he had seen.
When she returned home she tried
to induct) her parents to believe
that the v had been misinformed
and that she hud not been with her
forbidden company; she even came
to town tho next morning to try to
per8iiatlo one of her girl friends to
tell her parents a falsehood about
it, that rlie might escape threatened
punishment. Hut failing in this
she seemed bereft of hniio and ex
pressing n wish for the end of her
lift) she rtarted homeward ami was
found a few hours later; dying by
the roud-ddc. She had taken car
bolic acid. With the aid of a
physician she was enabled to sur
vive several days, but at no time
mild she bo induced to express a
regret for her crime.
She tills a pro nituro grave all
because those divine iiijttiiclioi s:
"Children obey your parents in all
things," and "Father provok, not
your children le.ii-t they be dis
couraged," Were lint heeded.
An exchange says that a man
who does not advertise simply be-
eiuso his grandfather did not,
ought to wear knee pants ami a
queue. The man who docs not ad
vertise because it costs money
hould uit paying rent for the
same reason. the man who does
not advertise hecau-e he tried it
once and failed, should throw away
his cigar because the light went
out. 1 he man who does not adver
tise because he docs not know how
himself, ought to stop citing be
