llronht ; ; t'efore Insanity Hoard.
On a complaint Ipsucd from the
county attorneys office Sheriff Ken
nedy went down In the nelghborhoot
of Westorvlllo last Friday and broug
Sam Wills , a fifty year old farmer ,
Into town and took him before the
jourd of Inxanlty to be examined as
to his incatnl condition. George
Mair and Dr. Willis Talbot now con-
itltute the board and the man'r. con-
Iltlon was given thorough attention.
It appears that Willis has been very
lespondcnt of late over business af
fairs , their financial difficulties , and
these coupled with poor health and
a run down constitution generally ,
have made him act In an exceeding
ly erratic manner. Ills threats to
kill himself so alarmed the family
that legal measures were resorted to
for his own protection. The mem
bers of the board seemed to think
that good medical treatment was wh
the man needed and suggested If ho
would go to the asylum ho could ha
the full advantage of this without
cost , but Wills strongly objected to
the plan , asserting that It would bo
a disgrace to bo sent to an Institu
tion for the insane , and made such
a plea for himself that the case was
finally taken under advisement.
Wills was allowed to return to his
homo ; but If his condition and healt
do not Improve the board will take
action and devise some means wher
by ho will receive proper treatment.
'To Mandamus The Board.
Joseph Pieman , on behalf of Caster
county , has applied to the district
court for a writ of mandamus to com
pel the hoard of supervisors to as
semble and set aside the order made
by them for a division of Custer
county , on the ground that a majority
of the voters of the proposed new
counties of Corn and Rose have not
petitioned for the question to be sub
mitted.
Those who have followed the pn -
ceedinus of the board of supervisors
will remember that when the petitions
for the erection of the above namer
counties were filed with the board ,
Mr. I'itmu'M asked that the matter be
laid over for .50 days for investittatioi
but by a close vote , his request was
over ruled and an election ordered.
Anti-divisionists claim that the peti
tions for both these new counties are
illeual for want of the necessary ma
jority of signatures and when the
matter comes up before Judge I los-
tetler , are confident that the evidence
will sustain the allegations.
They say , among other things , that
names of men on these petitions occur
sometimes twice and three times.
If this be true it is better that the
question be not voted on , as the elec
tion \\ill entail much expense.

SPENSER'S GREAT INTELLECT
Philosopher Lslcl Broad and Deep ths
Foundations of the Theory of
l.volutlon.
It Id a matter of regret , a writer
enya , t < at Spencer prefaced hla bcien-
tiflc I iillosophy o' the Cosmos with
his fai. oua theory of the unknowable.
In UK recognition of an unknown
power 'nscrutablo ' to the human Intel-
tolled Spencer fancied ho had found
the b , i\a \ of icconclllatlon between
Bclenc' and religion. Science was to
take ns Its province the known , and
rellgio.i the piovlnco of the unknow
able. The proposed tcrmp resembled
those of a husband with his wife as
this b. sis of domestic harmony , that
he she ild take the Inside of the house
and si o the outside. Had Spencer
been l- > closer toir , h with the religious
Bentlu'"iit ha wii Id have rci-ngnlzcd
that B 4i-h a theory of reconciliation
would olmply distinct public attention
from 1 is attempt to apply thu key of
evolution to the secrets of the mate
rial ir Iverne. In this later days ho
felt that his ! tyst''in had been preju
diced 'iy hid theory of the unl now-
able , i nil in convsrautlon ho usrd to
emphasize the vli w that his philoso
phy ol the Cosmos was quite dlbtinct
from Mr ontolug cal opinions , and
BhoulO bo judged on its own merits.
Makin ; duo allowance for ( U-fects
rising out of the personal equation ,
the fa-1 remains that Herbert Spencer
was ( ie of the great creative intel
lects of the nineteenth century. In
many particulars his generalisations
will bo modified by advancing knowl
edge , ' -ut tins at least must be ebilmed
for hiiii , that ho laid broad tint ! deep
the foundation ! ) ol the theory ol evolu
tion. Among the sceptered Immortals
Horbcit Spencer holds high lank.
