He proposes that twenty-four members of the order get sleeper, which they will capital of Utah. This sleeper will cost $94 a man from the time it leaves Selma until 1t lands its occupants back in the Central City Eight berths have already been taken and 1t is thought that the entire twenty-four will be taken by men1- bers of the lodge in Selma. The sleeping car and railroad fare for the round trip will be $40 each. The men propose to eat, hire a first-class cheI and live like gentlemen while attending the meeting of the Grand Lodge. It is thought that the hotel accommodations of Salt Lake City will be overcrowded with the antlered tribe from all over the United States. It is estimated that s75 by this plan. will pay a mans expenses from the time he leaves Selma until he arrives back home.
 Outsiders will not be accommodated with berths in this sleeper until every Elk in Selma is seen. and then if there are any berths left Brother Elks from neighboring towns will be permitted to take the remaining berths. if they so de- sire.

 BIBLE DISCUSSED Bone of Discord Added to Eng fish Church Conference AN OUTSP0KEN CRITICISM pr. Kirkpatrick Boldly Declares That All Parts of the Bible Must Not
 Be Regarded as Being
 Equally Valuable.
AN OUTSP0KEN CRITICISM

London, October 1.-The English Church congress, following so closely on the death of John Kensit the anti-rituaI- istic crusader and all the bitter feelings which that somewhat tragic event accent uated, could scarcely have been expect ed to be a peace conference, and to the normal disagreements which exist be- tween the high and low sections of the church an unexpected bone of diseord has been added. This consists in an out outspoken criticism of the Bibles infalli- bility. The discussion had none of that academic tone which is so often asso- ciated with English and American dis cussion of the so-called German school of thought It was an eloquent plea from well-known persons for rational teach ing of the Bible to the children, so that when they grow up they will not discard the inner meaning of oriental imagery as they did the tales of Santa Claus.
 pr. Wadsworth, bishop of Salisbury, op- ened the discussion and the Rev. Alexan- der Kirkpatrick. regius professor of He brew at Cambridge, and Canon of Ely, followed, boldly declaring they must not I6BdIu all parts oA liC oA'AS NS equally valuable The Rev. Edgar Gibson, prebendary of Wells and chaplain in or dinary to the King, compared the Bible to Shakespeare's mythical character of Macbeth, around which Shakespeare built up a great human document. So other writers, he asserted, took up eer- tain fabed incidents and built around them the great truths which made relig- ion what it is. The clergy was wrong in going on teaching the Bible in the old way The church had nothing to fear, but had much to gain from the new criti- cisms.
 Sir A. Short, master at Harrow, said the cheap press had rendered it impossible for the people to read the Bible as did Cromwelrs Iron Sides. He believed the majority of school teacheds adopted an uncandid attitude before their biblical classes, (which was morally unwhole- some and scientifically Incorrect Such treatment of boys merely led the pupils to easy disbelief in later years.
 The Rev. pr. King raised a great con- troversy by saying the Bible could not longer be regarded as the standard of morals.
 pr. Alexander. bishop of Derry, quoting Christ. reminded the congress that all revelation is progressive.

is within its precincts. It holds and maintains the right to tax every square inch of territory, every created thing that walks or crawls or moves over it. The right of property like the rights. of life and limb, although established in in- dividuals, is never removed from tho jur- isdiction of the state. The ore in the ground, the cattle on the hoof, the rail- road and the telegraph wire belong to the state as we'll as to the individual.
 In consequence If the grea< latitude accorded to Individuals in the enjoyment of their rights of possession by states, states have apparently lost their sover- eignity. The coal in the coal fields or Pennsylvania is her resources. She hes the right to quarry the coal, indemnify the owners for every ton taken and pay the la5orers. It is rot public policy that her mines should be snactfve or that her citizens should suffer a coal famine It Is also her right to stop the aggressions of monopolistic corporations by refusing them the privilege of doing business If they are exacting unlawful profits
 States must interfere in economic ques- tions and help in the solution of tho problem or we may as well stop and write the Decline and Fall of the Amer ican republic.

Not only arc the rich of today, possess ing all that wealth can bring, inferior to the great Romans Tn the magnificence of their surroundings, in their culture in their Iefinements in their patronage, but also in their appreciation of thei : duty to those who are less fortunate to themselves. The great works the illus tricus Romans left behind them, crumb- ling in decay. bear testimony of then. generosity and pubic concern after many centuries. Ard as to the poor, the in- dustrious toilers for a wretched living. London and New York present hourly pictures of squalor ana poverty not paralleled in Rome.
 Our civilization has been fighting to establish successfully a principle which the Romans failed to establish, fhat of equality, of freedom of thought and of action. This principle disguises itself over and over again. Tear aside the mask and it stands revealed. What but this was the struggle of serf against feudal lord; of civil law against ecclesiastical law, of barons against kings? What else but this is embodied in constitutional gov errment, in trial by jury, in the writ of habeas corpus? Victories have been won Past generations wrested usurped pow CTS from strong hands. They destroyed the power cunning and artful men had established over them by reason of ig. norance and spperstition; they set up a rule of conduct to guide rulers; they de- clared their right, and exercised it, of selecting those rulers; they declared against the slavery of man freeing inc black slave; they declared that all men

 Past generations in this civilization have left us noble monuments. We sur vey the law of our land, our glorious constitution, our rights and privileges, our physical benefactions and then look back through the medium of centuries to our ancestors to the skin clad Teutons roaming German forests; to Angles driven before the murderous Saxons and Danes; 10 semi barbarous Normans car rying conquest with sword end spear; to hardy Dutchmen driving the ocean from it's bed that they might live like water rats on the deltas of rivers.
 And while these, cur forefathers. were in successive generations establishing a principle, just south of them on the sun ny slopes of the Italian Alps those, who boasted before all the world that they had established it, were losing it.

 took the form most consistent with the distinguishing characteristic of it's civil ization. Ours, we being of a commercial or industrial kind are economic uues- tions; theirs, they being of a military kind, were military. When the principle cegan to fail in the Roman civilization civil power was dominated by the mili- tary power. Is it possible that when the principle begins to rail in this civilization the historian in some distant land at some distant day, will point to an econ- cmic question?
 Conditions confront tho people of this generation which are natural in the evo- lution of the commercial spirit and dis tinguishing characteristic of this civil ization From them arise questions which Will affect and do affect, men in the pur- suit or happiness cn the basis of equal- ity and liberty of thought and action.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In H Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature but few real ize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present Tn the stom- ach and intestiues and carries them out of the system
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these 1ozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit.
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: T advise Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in the stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; also believe the liver Is greatly bene- fited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a pat- ent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorb ent Lozenges than any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

N4&*W FexatlOuS prODieInS, anu l1c SuC- cess and failure of men to solve them are to bo read on the recording pages of history or in the mounds that cover the relics of their existentts These prob lens are incidental to the stages of pro- gross. In passing from one stage to an- other, in the evolution from one condi- tion to another, the latest condition pre- sents the problem which must be solved before the moment in civilization be de- termined either as progressive or rctro- gressive.
 Every schoolboy knows that the first ten centuries of the Angio-Saxon civil ization were those of slow progress and that the same centuries witnessed the slow decay of the Roman civilization. The latter civilization was not tns oniy one that failed because of the inability of the people to successfully solve the problems of the day. In the light of what IS known of men and their efforts in the past to attain the perfection of existence on this earth 1t is more than interest ing to consider whether the present civil ization is likely to escape the errors that finally engulfed it's predecessors.
 Our civilization is not so far in ad- vance of past civilizations as many well meaning persons would have us believe or are the great general conditions so vastly improved, The mere mention of many Improvements, so to speak, peo- pie enjoy in this age which were un. known to the Romans give false inn
