LUTH CHALLIS DEAD.
Once Worth a Million, He Died
Almost in Want.


ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 12.-Luth G.
Challis, who had been a prominent
figure in this city and Atchlson during
the past twenty years aud who was at
one time most daring Spectator in
New York, lies dead at his home in
Atchison. He was once among the
leaders OF Wall street. Several times in
his life Challis was worth a million, but
he died almost in want. LII the West he
was known as heavy Spectator and
railroad builder. but for several years
before his death he was not engaged in
any business. After the death OF ex-
Gov. John A. Martin. of Kansas.
Challis became editor of the Alchison

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Rev. Mason breaches on the
Philosophy of elimination.

IHliOSOpuy Oh I-iitllndltOD.
Rev. F. E. Mason, of Brooklyn, n. Y,
preached again yesterday morning in
the Christian Science rooms in the
Globe building. His subject was THE
Philosophy of Elimination"
He said in part: The human sense
emauates all discord. The spiritual
hypothesis is the true standard of life.
The elimination OF the human will
establish the spiritual, inducing peace
and perfection. So long as mans
mind is dual, discord will obtain as the
inevitable sequence. There cannot be
two hypothesis OF life. II perfection
is the fact of life. imperfectiOn is an alb
normal state. Man makes concessions
to human laws and decrese, and thereby
perpetuates his bondage. If man under
stood himself as perfect, rather than
as an imperfect creature. he would rise
1uto absolute sovereignty over the world,
subordinate TO none OF its DEGREES. Man
places himself before the world as a
Subaltern because of his ignorance of
his own possibilities. There is nothing
dn the universe impossible with man.
His own ignorance alone circumScribeS
and limits him; his misunderstanding of
his possibilities mInimiZes his achieve
ments. He hopes for what he might
have. He relegates to futurity that
which should obtain in the present
Man will be found 20 be all that he
hopes to be when he eliminates from
his mind the human sense OF himself
and places himself on all equality with
Jesus Christ, the only man on earth
who ever reached and maintained the
status of true spiritual manhood. When
religious sentiment is tabooed. and emo
ton eXpunged from mind, man will rise
into individual sovereignty over the
world as its master rather than its

million dollars Of city funds are on de-
of the city, the city deriving only per
cent or 2 per cent Interest thereon. Be-
fore the council voted the ordinances
for building school houses the financial
part was investigated. and the sum of
100000. we were told, could be used for
this purpose.
During the campaign for city officers
last spring Mr.. McCardy took credit I'M
TO himself for paying Off large amount
of the city Indebtedness. The state
ment was made ma ny times that half a
million dollars had been paid off during
his, administration of the comptroller's
office.
1t must be remembered that no
schools were built during this time. and
not for two years prior to that. Now, If
Mr.. McCardy is paying off bonds at the
expense OF our school children's educa-
ton, let US know it. We want our debt
reduced, but not 10y bringing up our
children in ignorance.
1t school house is not built now on
'Dayton's bluff it will be year before
our children can attend school. The
interest of the city is at stake In this
matter. for if we cannot educate

besides it would be of great benefit to

portunity to work, even il the fund is
not now available. BY the time the
building is completed it could be paid
for, and if the condition OF the fund is
such that the whole amount will not
be available until Jan. /, then possibly
some contractor could be found who
would erect the building and take his
pay at that date. But If we are so hope

The Situation in Regard to Corn
Much Improved.
OMAHA, Aug. 12.-All day generous
rains have been failing through Me-
braska, and the crop situation is ma te-
rally improved. The rains have ex-
tended into Colorado. South Dakota.
Kansas and Iowa. On the Union Pa
citic rain fell west of North Platte and
at Gotheburg. Grand Island, Schuyler
and other towns in that vicinity. Rain
fell along the Burlington at Platts-
mouth, Aurora, Ponca, Greedy Center,
Burwell, Loup City, Hastings, Kearney,
Curtis, McCook. Benkleman and along
the Sheridan line. This gives rain to a
large section of the farming districts In
Nebraska that have been much dam
aged by the drouth. The best, informed
agriculturistS of the state think the
corn crop will yield one-third of an
average. The drouth has given great
impetus to irrigation throughout the
state. A big mass meeting was held at
Long Pine, Neb., the center of the dis
trict, to discuss the question Of irriga-
ton. and a proposition made by rep
reSentatiVe of Eastern capitalists to
construct the canal through Brown,
Rock and Hall counties. providing these
three counties contribute S250,O00 il
bonds toward the enterprise, besides a
certain percentage of the water privi-
leges. Before the close of the meeting
a resolution that it was the sense OF the
meeting that the proposition be adopted
was carried. The sentiment here IS
unanimously in favor of the project.
The asSemblage was composed of bust
ness men and farmers. property owners
of Brown and Rock counties.

Is st. Paul Too Poor to Educate
Her Children?
To the Editor of the Globe.
Some time ago read from the GLOBE
that the city council had passed the
ordinances for building several new
school buildings, one to be located OIL
Dayton's bluff. We have waited quite
patiently and looked anxiously for the
building to commence. Now 1 see by
the report of the council proceedings
that the matter is still juggled with 81

getting very much dissatisfied over the
delay. All last winter my three chill
dren were forced to stay at home OH ac-
count of the city falling to provide
school accommodation on Daytbn's
bluff. Prior to that the necessity was
relieved by the House of Hope church
holding kindergarten school in the
Wagner building on Seventh street.

that the sum of half million dollars is

Afforded lively Amuse-

CALVIN is STILL ALIVE
Nicholas Gillard, a War Vet
eran, and Once a Slave,
Dies.

The Knights of Labor of Minneapolis
had their inning yesterday, the occa-
sion being the nrst annual reunion and
picnic given by District Assembly No.
79, at Union Park, Midway district.
There were large deleg ations present
from Minneapolis, Saltwater and Du-
luth. After dinner a procession was
formed at Labor hall, and the members
of the local assembly escorted the Wis
itors to the picnic grounds. A platoon
OF mounted police led the way, followed
by band, and with banners flying the
procession marched through the princi-
pal streets.
There was large crowd at the park,
where every arrangement had been
| made to amuse and entertain the visit
| ors. A large dancing platform had
| been erected and good music was pro.
vided. The young people did not fail
to take advantage of this pastime. At
| another corner programme of athletic
| sports was under way, comprising
seven interesting events, i'll which both
ladies and gentlemen competed for
| prizes.
Under a grove of trees large box
served as speakers stand, and con-
| siderable number listened to addresses
| by Paul Fontaine. of the Peoples party
| state central committee, who talked on
| financial and other problems OF the day.
| John H. Burke followed i'll a speech
| which bristled as all arraignment OF the
defunct Guaranty Loan company and
| other like Institutions. Burke took a
religious text as the basis Of his re-
marks. choosing Isaiah tx, &c: For
the leaders of this people caused them
to err. and they that led them caused
them to go wrong" Mr.. Burke paid a
backhanded compliment to Gov. Nelson
and Bank Examiner Kenyon, and was
not bit charitable in his charges.
The reunion was given TO raise funds
for the purpose of paying the expenses
of number of state organizers who are
now in the field. and, Judging from the
attendance and the patronage bestowed
upon the various enterprises which
were under way, good little sum must
| have been realized.

As many of the veteran officers and
the opinion that Maj. Joseph r. Brown
was the commander at Birch Coulie,
there is considerable indignation among
them at the action of the committee in
assigning that distinction to Capt. Grant.
Just what the inscription would be was
not known until yesterday, when q copy
was sent to st. Paul by the Rockville
Granite company, the contractors. The
injunction proceedings now talked of
are not only to prevent the placing of
the inscription mentioned on the monu-
ment, but also 10 prevent the placing of
the monument itself on the Morton fair
ground, and to cause it 10 be set on the
battle ground, as the law directs. Pro-
tests have been filed with the commits
sion heretofore, but it seems no atten-
tlon has been paid 10 them, and now
hot fight is Ill prospect.
p A son of the late Capt. Brown and his
friends are making strong protest
against the proposed inscription ana the
location Of the monument Attorney
General Childs has already been applied
to with view OF beginning the >injunc-
tlon proceedings, but has asked that
time be given 20 confer with the COM
mission IN the hope that the matter may
be adjusted satisfactorily out of the
courts. There has been some CORE
spondence between Mr.. Childs and j.
ID. Gilfillan, chairman of the commission,
ON the subject already. 1t is probable
that the erection of the monument will
De delayed. The granite is already on
the ground, and the Inscription has been
engraved. In case the location and
inscription are both changed there will
be considerable delay in placing the
