TO FIGHT CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

NestfSatton OF the Zion nome
Chicago, June 15.-The movement against
the Alexander Dowie Christian Science
Home, initiated on Monday evening in the
city council in the form OF a resolution
calling for an investigation, has been ta-
ken up by the council leaders with a view
to action suppressing all treatment of con-
tagious or infectious diseases in the Zion

the home is known. Flavor has been ad-
ded to the anti-Dowie agitation by an

A NEBRASKA PHILOSOPHER.
James Ferguson and His System of
Natural Philosophy.

Omaha, June 15.-The popular scientific
magazines. are having good deal TO say
concerning James Ferguson. of Talmage.
and his system of natural philosophy Mr.
Ferguson has contributed a considerable
number OF articles TO. scientific periodicals
recently. and his work is attracting much
attention. He is a lawyer and a great
student, hut has never seen the inside OF
a college. He was born in Hamilton
county. O., in 1915. and was pioneer set
tier in Nebraska, whence he helped drive
the red man. As he explains il, he has
not only aimed to systematize all known
facts, but Ito explain and reduce to the
common law all the mysteries. to sound
the depths of the unknown. to drive chaos
from its last ditch and to plant the ban
ner of harmony over all the domain OF na-
ture."
All efforts to explain the cause OF things
were regarded by Compile and Spencer as
vain and profitless, but this Nebraska
scientific writer has thought differently.
Here is a sample OF his logic: The word
things is the widest in our language
and it is wide enough to take in all but
nothing. 1t is only things that can ex'
| list, and each and everything. in order tC
exist. must differ from nothing and from
other things. Difference, therefore, is thu
| first law of existence. Mind can know
only things and nothing, and each anc
everything in order to be known mus
| be distinguished from nothing and from
other things, through sense OF this diff
ference. Difference, therefore is not only
the first law OF existence. it is also this
first law of sense and knowledge. This II
| brief is universal relativity; the law o
all laws. because 1t precedes and includes
| all things" This is the principle which
| guides Mr. Ferguson in all things, ant
/ this he declares is the key to all knowl'
edge"
