Dcfyin%Ihe state.

It is of course rash to comment un
anything that any preacher is report
cd to have said in the pulpit unless
one has some sort OF attidaE!t that the
report is accurate. No such affidavit
, comes with the report Of DR.. Felix
: Adler's observations at Carnegie hall
on Sunday morning, November IL.
but they sound as if DR.. Adler might
have said them. He offered as a sub
stitute for religions whose vital force
Is in a personal God. Il religion in
which the place of God is taken by the
state. He thinks men are gradually
passing from their belief ina personal
God. and that the religions based on
that belief are losing vitality. So he
says:
I'm the state let us find the personal
deity which is passing out of mems
lives. Let the state be the object OF
our worship. Let Us make it sacred,
and when We have done so the state
will have taken the place of the per
sOniticatiOn. Let the state be that
personification.
That may be suitable religion for
some persons who live within easy
reach of Carnegie hall. and have
plenty of state within sight to pray
to. but any individual of them who
was east on desert island where the
entire state was himself would be en-
barrassed. Somehow there seems to
be a suggestion of getting to heaven
by pulling at ones bOotstraps about I
DR.. Adler's plan. 1t is quite true
that We cannot love God without low !
ing orr neighbor. and that we cannot
show our love for God so well in any I.
way as by giving evidence of our love /
for our neighbOr. 1t is also true that /
when we love and serve the state in /.
telligently we do our neighbor most !
service. Yet the deifcation .
of the state seems hardly likely 20 .
appeal TO many Americans, if for no .
other reason, for this, that though the .
idea of God has perhaps in some .
taken new form in the minds .
OF modern men. for most of us its .
vital force remains. and seems likely /
to remain as long as men dollar
per Weekly.

Railroad condemnation Rights.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-. Nov. 3d.
\ petition for writ of prohibition
was filed in tine Supreme Court in banc
to-day by NJ. Il. Smith, of Farming
ton. attorney for Mary H. G. Houck
and Louis Houck. against &c. Riley,
judge of the Scott County Circuit
Court. and the Gray's Point Terminal
Railroad Company, a line of road ex--
tending from Delta to the Mississippi
River, at Gray's Point. The railroad
company is seeking in the Circuit
Court the condemnation of fOrty-hve
acres of land at Gray's Point for yard
purposes. The land belongs to the re-
lators in the proceedings filed to-day,
and they object to the condemnation.
They contend that the land should not
be condemned. as they want it for
warehouse and other purposes. They
also contend that under the law only
ten acres can be condemned for such
and the defendant company
Is seeking to condemn forty-hve. The
question to be decided is whether or
not railway company can condemn
for yard purposes fOrty-tive acres un-
der the laws of the state. The case
grows out of the fight being made
a against the extension of the HOuck
Railroad in various parts of South:
east Missouri.

The Western Poultry and Game
Company paid out in the seven days
for poultry. game and eggs S3359.5O,
every cent of which went out to the
farmers of Cape Girardeau county.
Before the esta blishment Of the
branch house of the Western Poultry
and Game Company in this city all
his poultry was sold to merchants
and shipped to the st. Louis market
alive to commission men and the
farmer did not get as much for his
poultry by about onc-third as he gets
now. The Western Poultry Company
pays for poultry by weight. pays the
highest st. Louis market price and
pays cash. The poultry is dressed
and packed here and when it reaches
the market it is in good shape and
finds ready sale. This way there is no
loss in weight like there is in live
poultry and for this reason better
prices are paid than have ever been
paid for poultry here before.
Mr.. Gillian. the manager in this
city for the Western Poultry and

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Nov. 26.-The
annual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury. according to present plans,
will be sent to Congress either on the
first or second day of the coming ses-
sion. As to the Sccrctary's plans fog
the reform of the currency enough has
been learned to give confidence that
the President is in full accord with his
views and recommendations, although
in his official utterance, as expressed
in his forthcoming message to Con-
gress. he may not give full and spe-
Gifted Endorsement to all the prOpO-
sitiOns covered by the ,ecretary's
report There will. however. be no
differences between the President and
the Secretary. 1t is also understood
that the forthcoming report of the
monetary commission will cover rec
concentrations not essentially differ
ent from those embodied in Secretary
Cages report to Congress. Those
most familiar with both of these i'm
portant papers give assurance that
the difference between them will be
easily reconciled and that to the sup
port of the propositions so harmon
lied the monetary commission will be
able to bring the powerful influence
of the great body of business men
which the commission represents.

Los ANGELES. CAL. November 50.
For many years i has been known
that the Yaqui Indians, of Sonora,
possessed 4 vegetable specific remedy
for hydrophObia. which was not only
sure and efficacious. but perfectly
harmless. While always ready to aP-
ply the remedy when needed, the In
dians hare kept it, constituents pro-
found secret. Recently Dr.. J. ). Bell,
a specialist. now AZ HeT1nosillO, has
secured from the Gaquis their valuable
secret. and Il large quantity of the
herbs necessary for its manufacture.
and will return TO the United States TO
introduce the remedy throughout the
country. Il is believed that its Ger
taiuty and safety. combined with its
almost insignificant cost. compared
with visiting a Pasteur institute for
treatment. will cause it to become the
generally accepted remedy for IA bies.
