An was expected by those who fol lowed the evidence in the case as re ported In this paper, the State Board of Internal Improvement lias vin dicated Prof. K. McK. rioodwln, su perintendent of the Deaf and Dumb School at Morganton, of the charges against him, of which there was a protracted hearing In December. Prof. Goodwin Is a capable superin tendent and a good man and there was never any reuson for his friends to apprehend that any accusations against him of official or personal misconduct would stick. Those upon which he and the manner of his ad ministration of his trust were Investi gated, were bottomed upon spite and resentment, and were found, when there was a show-down, to be child ish and frivolous. Yet for then there was an Investigation covering some ten days; the tuklng of testi mony, examination and croHs-cxainl-nation Of witnesses and speeches by lawyers, Josh of time by witnesses, a practical suspension f the school, a divided community, and a heavy bill of charges to be paid, Hy the in stitution or the Stute? In the name of Justice It is to be hoped not. As a part of the punln)irnent the prone CUtors should be taxed with tho costs. SPEAK Kit JL'hTK'K. Mr. Edward J.

This la a great country, ; with , a mania for breaking records,, but un til t Nebraska man returned from a rabbit hunt late Inst summer no one ever supposed that It could figure as a producer of every ancient human relics. While Europe and the East still lead by many thousands of years, the Nebraska find has proved. In the opinion of eminent authorities, to be of highly i respectable antiquity 18,000 B. C or even earlier. , ' A small excavation made by boy. huntirs In digging a rabbit out of a hill aide led to tho subsequent discovery of, con siderable number of bones, including parts of several skulls, which make the relics which the Missouri river bluffs have heretofore yielded seem comparatively recent. Upon hearing of this find Prof. Henry Fairfield Os born, of Columbia University and the New York Museum of Natural His tory (he has since declined the sec retaryship of the Smithsonian Insti tution), left for Omaha to Investigate. Writing In the January number of Tho Century Magaslne, he says that the remains "Indicate, so far as they go, ft man of small cerebral capacity, hav ing a brain Inferior to that either of the Indian or the typical Mound Builder." However, he regards them as of very much more recent type than the "Neanderthal man," found In South Germany, and almost mod ern as compared with the famous "pithecanthropus erecius," or so-called ape man of Java. Prof. jOaborn and the Other old bonc tmeclallsts may be entirely cor rect In their conclusions, hut there Is only ono way to definitely settle the matler. Let the Nebraska relics be shipped (prepaid) to The Observer, which will take pleasure In passing upon them. Its established reputa tion for infallibility in science Is an assuran6e that the question would thereby be removed from the realm of conjecture to that of precise knowledge. This old bud who, if the non-Observer scientists are not badly mistaken, stole such an amazingly long march on Columbus, and preced ed the Indians and even the Mound Builders, would be heartily welcome to the headquarters of science. It's up to the professors. WHOM THE GODS WOULD DE- HTKOY. The unestcemed Mr. K. II. Harrl man's ambition Is nothing less than to dominate the transportation Inter est of the entire country. ThlH the Investigation Into the Harrlman fys em of rallrouds which tho Inter Klale commerce commission In now conducting In New York city has clearly revealed. With the huge surplus earnings of the Union Pa cific as the basis of his power, he has bought Into railroad nfter rnilroad. Controlling the I'nlon I'ucillc, he con trols Its purchases. Since July 1 Inst the Union Pacific has expended $10.1, 000,000 In ncqulrlng the securities of other companies. The Oregon Short Line, nfter declaring a dividend of 50 per cent, on Us stock held by the I'nlon Pacific, contributed out of Its general assets toward this huge to tal. The list of these recent pur chases, a furnished the commission by tli'' comptroller of the Union Pa cini. Includes L'O.r.9 per cent, of 1111- Iioi Vntl Hi, uT.L'i per cent, of St. Jos. 1 1 ov Grand Island, 18:t2 p.-r cent of Kultinmre & Ohio and 7.97 per icnt. of Now York Central.

X. farmer threw Uie almanac which ,tt had 'been reading Into the chimney Jam and addressed his wife thus: ;"The ooops, squirrels, crows, and woodpock ers havo eaten almost, all mr corn on the stalk; the rabbits have left only the skeletons of my collard leaves; the 'pos sums, minks, and' weasels maraud my henhouse; the fo fattens upon my geoso; moles have peeled the roots of my young fruit trees; all the harness in my barn has been 'gnawed by 'rais; the weevils have bored the heart out of ev ery grain of my garnered corn; my sheep are dally destroyed by dogs. How ore we to get along? It is a burden that Providence has put upon us that we must support all these denizens of the wlldwood and use what, is left for oi;neJvM." That very night the vermin hold a convention, the minutes of which, re corded qn a sheep skin with a crow quill, ran as follows: "It was the sense of the meeting that Providence is against us in our struggle for existence. This terri tory Is ours by right of Immemorial oc rupuncy, and yet tho farmer who has itfer tit to olalm the soli has set traps and deatlfulls agalnet our lives. He In vades our finenesses with a gun and snoots us at sight. In his barns and barnyards Hie has distributed poisons, cleverly disguised, (hat when we forage we may partake thereof sind die. He has In leaguo with him such traitors to us as the cat. We have done nothing to cffeml him. On the contrary, wo have made it our study to avoid him und fly his approach. We know not how to placate him, inasmuch as he will admit of no truce for parley. There is no ac tion we can take that will ameliorate cur condition, and therefore we can but resolve to bear up under our hardships us bet,t we may." It i difficult for either of two com plainants to appreciate the merits of the other's causa. THK DOG AND THK QUAIL. A hunter with his dog was beating the seilge for quail. In a marshy piece of ground, where there was a small head of buck huckleberries, Hanger pointed. When ho flushed the covey, the hunter knocked liown three. They wer going In search of singles, and the man nald to Ranger, "Why did notlthoss birds fly at tlrst, Inntead of wajllng for me to come up? Ilicy knew I couldn't . e them," said the .log. "And because they can't smell themselves, they loul.li't Imagine my power In that sense." Who Judge ull other by himself 1 often found blundering.
