CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Most Interesting Lecture by Mrs.
Sue Harper Minis.

The First Church of Christ, Scient-
ist. gave Oskaloosa people a treat on
sunday afternoon in the shape OF a
lecture by Mrs. Sue Harper Minis, OF
Atlanta, Georgia. The lecturer ap-
peared at the Masonic opera house at
three o'clock and vas introduced by
Mrs. A. P. Spencer.
Several lecturers have been brought
to the city by the Oskaloosa church
and some good talks have been heard
and some splendid arguments made,
but no other lecturer who has appear
ed in the city has left SO good an I'm
preston with the audience as did
Mrs. Minis. The theme Of the lady
was eThe Spiritual Dominion of Man
Through Scientific Christianity"
The underlying contention Of the
lecturer was that Christianity is in
the highest and truest sense, scien-
tifc, that the religion of the Bible and
the Christianity Of Jesus and the
Apostles is the science or the sciences
and that Christian Science is this
science, and that through scientific
Christianity, man to the degree of his
Christliness has the spiritual domil-
ion which is promised in the Bible
and which was demonstrated by Je-
sus. Mrs. Minis also held that Chris
tian Scientists knew rom actual ex-
p~erience and demonstration that the
lessons and the promises of the Bible
are for this and for every age and that
all of the mighty and magnificent
works of the WORTHLESS of the Old and
the New Testament are not miracu-
lous in the ordinary sense Of the
term, bur the natural phenomena of
spiritual law, and that phenomena or
signs" will always follow them who
believe.
The lady took up the several depart
ments CT her discourse in detail and
was closely followed by the large
audience.
During the course of the talk, Mrs.
Minis, who is a student and a per-
sonal friend of Mrs. Eddy, paid a
beautiful tribute, to the Christliness OF
her character and to the far reaching
influence Of her life and work. She
said that Mrs. Eddy was not only n
of the worlds greatest religious
teachers and reformers, but that
through her discovery of the science
of the mind and that Christianity is a
demonstrable science, she had made
the sublimest and most practical dis
covery of the modern world, and Is,
therefore, rightly entitled to as high a
place among the scientists and dis
coVerers as among the spiritual teach
ers and reformers.

Chief JUSTICE MAY RESIGN
HON. MELVILLE w. FULLER SAID
TO PLAN SUCH ACTION.
Will Retain Office Until After March
4-Secretary Taft May
Succeed Him.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Chief Justice
Melville w. Fuller, of the supreme
court of the United States, plans, it is
said, to resign his office on March 5,
1905, the day after he has administered
the oath of Office to the next president.
If President Roosevelt is elected, it
is reported to be his plan to offer the
post Of chief justice to William H.
Taft, secretary of war. There is no
,ottcia1 Gnn6S@aIon Of these reports~
Chief Justice Fuller will be II years
old February IL, 1905, and will then
be entitled to retire from the bench on
a salary of S10.500 a year as long as
he lives. The recent death of his wife
contributes to his desire to spend the
remaining days of his life free from
official responsibilities. No chief JUS
tice of the supreme court has ever re-
signed. All have died ON the bench.
Chief Justice Fuller has administered
the oath of Office to four presidents
Harrison, Cleveland and Mckinley, the
latter twice. He was appointed chief
justice on April 80. 1888.

ELKS WILL ENTERTAIN.
Big Party is Planned For the Evening
of Nov. %.

Oskaloosa Elks had a big gathering
of the herd at their hall Thursday ev-
ening for the purpose of sampling the
new city heat that has recently been
installed in the building. The heat
was there in generous quantity and
this, together with the naturally nigh
degree of the weather's temperature,
made a very warm time.
Outstanding committees that have
been at work recently reported to the
lodge through their chairman. The
open social session that has been de-
cided upon will be given on the night
Of November %, and invitations there
to will be issued about Nov. Is. Ev-
cry member of the lodge is requested
to hand in the names Of friends and
those he desires invited, to the char
man, Chas. Walling, or to DR.. Hare,
w. d. Dunsmore or Harry Phinney.
Hand in as many names as you please.
The social is to be the biggest thing
Of the kind that has ever come to
pass in the city and the committee on
program have guaranteed a big time
with surprises generously distributed.
The committee upon socials for the
winter a are to make a canvass
of the membership for the purpose Of
a~scertaining the extent to which the
parties will be patronized. John
Blakeslee will receive your subscrip-
ton.
The antlers were fitted to a candi-
date during the evening and following
this the evening was devoted to a
social at which the members of the
Hoefier Show company now playing
in the city entertained in song and
sketch, many Of which were very ex-
cellent and entertaining, and were
done with a professional touch ana
finish that was refreshing.

NO WORLDS FAIR RECESS.
OskaIoosa Teachers Will Not Be
Granted Time to Go to st. Louis.

The school board held its regular
monthly meeting Saturday night, al
lowed a number of bills and discussed
a number of questions of interest 10
the work in Oskaloosa. The move
ment to adjourn the schools for one
week to enable the teachers to go to
the worlds fair was tabled by the
board. 1t vas argued that the teach
ers had three months time to go to st.
Louis and if they did not take advan-
tage of the same it was not the
boards fault. The only way in which
a week could be granted would be
with the understanding that it would
be made up in the spring. The move
ment was considered unwise and was
dropped without action.

AMONG THE CHURCHES
New Priest Welcomed and Other
Special Services.

Several of the city churches had
special services on Sunday. st.
Mary's Catholic church welcomed
their new priest, Father McManus.
the usual services were conducted
and an informal reception followed.
Father McManus came to the city on
Friday last to take up the work OF
Father Waldron, who succeeded to the
place of the late lamented Father M.
| O'Carroll. In the afternoon a funeral
service was held in the church for
the little girl, Francis Beninato, who
died Friday afternoon Of pneumonia.
| vespers and benediction formed the
closing service of the day and the in
itial work of the new father was con-
sidered very successful. Father Nc
Manus is young in years but old in
the service of his church, and will no
doubt prove very popular in town,not
alone in church circles, but in the city
as well.
Rev. w. H. Frost, of the st. James
Episcopal church of this city, return
ed last week from Boston, where he
has been in attendance at the general
convention of, the Episcopal church OF
America. The gentleman was present
in the capacity of an appointed dele
| gate, an honor that was appreciated
both by himself and by the st. James
parish. Rev. Frost on Sunday morn
ing gave his congregation a sort of
report Of the convention and its do.
ings. The address was interesting
and instructive, and while necessarily
brief, was quite comprehensive and
his hearers gained a full knowledge
of the convention and its Importance,
80
Rev. J. w. Somerville talked on the
Christians Duty in Politics" at Cen
trail NJ. e. church, Sunday evening.
The sermon was especially appropri-
ate or the v of election. Rev. Son.
erville said it was the Christians duty
to take an active part in politics and
not hold himself aloof. If reforms
are necessary he should attempt to
bring them about, and not stand aside
and complain of them as something
unclean. He took Biblical deductions
to prove that politics are as old as
the world and will probably continue
as long as the world lasts. Every
qualified man should esteem it \
privilege to vote, n everyone should
pay more attention to the affairs or
his country. If this is done there
would be less corruption.

WARhTH OF CAUCUsES
The Democratic Notion of Political
 Temperatures.

The reporter for tne Enterprise com plained of chilly sensation at the sec ond ward republican caucus cn Tues day night. The political weather fore caster says that the Chilliness there that night is not a marker to the frigid- ity of which John R. Norton. the En- te,prise and other democrats or the ward will complain or the night of the eleation.
 The Enterprise has fallen into Jhe BiHvilIe Bugle style of reporting poll tlcai gatherings of the opposition. For instance one episode of the meeting is described as follows:
 At this jJncture cane trouble. Mir. Collins. who is a member of the Cen tr;Il committee. arose and told the convention in exceeding frosty and cutting language that he would not act on committee in support of R. II. Greene and then and there rendered his non-acceptance of the appoint ment. About this time non-sympJ- thizers of MT. Greene began to leave tho hail so that Chairman Evans sta toned Officer Moore at the door to keep the caucus. Il is understood on good authority that MT. Collins and several others of the Second ward are righteously indignant at the treatment received by them at the hands of tho republican party"
 It may be said that not q man left the hail until after the nomination had been made and until motion to ad- jOurn. Many O. those present sup posed that with the nomination tha business of the meeting had come to an end and some went out. The chair reminded the convention that tlc cam paign should Fe arranged for and he jocularly told Mr. Moore to bar the a5- cape of any body Uutil all the business of the evening had been disposed uf.
 As to the indignation of MT Collins. it was observed by nobody but the reporter. He used no cut

ting or frosty language. He had been appointed 10 place on the working committee of. ten When the committee was announced MT. Collins suggested the appointment of somebody in his place for he said that he would be out of town much of the time during the campaign.
 There was no disappointment on the part or Mir. Collins. He participated in the nomination. of MT. Greene, in which there was no contest.
 The meeting was altogether a bust ness like meeting. To democrat it may have seemed unenthu5iastic, for a democratic ward caucus is seldom held in Phoenix without great orator. ical reference to Jackson, Jefferson and national affairs. It is not long ago that Q Phoenix democratic city con- vention adopted a platform extolliug Bryan and free silver. It was under stood that there was a disposition among some of the delegates to that convention to take the bull by the horns and denolish the erroneous theory that the moon was made os green cheese.
 It is not entirely improper to get warmed up in ward caucuses over extraneous issues. but it is not strictly business to do SO and the republican caucus of Tuesday night had met for business.

A VICTORY FOR MERE SENTI.
 MENT."

Some of the politicians of New Jersey were frank in showing their disgust at Governor Murphys action in calling a special session of the Iegis- lature to pass an act prohibiting pigeons shooting. IL was absurd ri- d.culous, preposterous and unprece- dented to recall the law making body of the state on a mere matter of senti- z.ent,
 Sentiment? Yes. that was the force behind the governors proclamation. Material considerations were ol. the other side. Some people were making a. few dollars out of the trap shooting. and several politicians received sub stantial campaign contributions. from those who wished to have the sport protected against legislative iaterfer- ference.
 But there are citizens of New Jersey just sentimental enough to think that the elimination of brutalizing in hUences is more impOrant 10 the state than campaign contributions O. the raising of pigeons for shooting matches; and these people don't allow sneers or ridicule to turn them from their purpose. It was they who. as mere matter or sentiment. compelled the abaGdonment of racctrack gam bling though in that case it was neces- sary to coin the sentiment into votes in order to clnch and seal the de- termination.

than many other politicians. Franklin Murphy knew the terrific force that these sentimentalists could wield when aroused, and he needed the request 70 put this matter of slaugnteriug pigeous squarely before the legislature. Tac governors policy was most encphaticai- ly virdicated by the affirmative vote on the pigeon bill. Possibly some of those who voted aye when their names were called were not enthusiasts iA the cause, but they realized the potency of that moral feeling which the gov ernor had so accurately gauged and re- sponded to. It was a great victory for sediment. May il be many a long day before that element loses its vitality -n New Jereey !-Ne~ York Tribune.
