Ole Free Pass Bribery SYSTEM.

Nearly every state has it's free pass or
ganization. All the pass holders are or
ganized into political force. The people
do not know 1t, but there is such an
organization in nearly every precinct
ward, county and state in the entire coun-
try.
This free pass organization Is used as a
police force for the railroads. 1t is or
ganized to protect the railroads in their
extortionate freight and passenger charges
and in the low taxation Of their property
This pass organization dictates nominal
tons. 1t sets up weak and plant men
and pulls down strong and Independent
men. 1t builds up or destroys cities and
private enterprises at will. 1t other
words, 1t is the real master OF destiny
both in politics and business.
That this bribery system must first be
DESTROYED before we can get back repre-
sentative government again and get
wholesome legislation Is the contention of
the author in this book.
Mr.. Berge, the author, was candidate
for governor of Nebraska in 1904. He
made the railroad question the principal
issue of this campaign. He has given it
exhaustive study and no one Is better able
to write upon this subject than he is.
Livery man in office and every aspirant
for office should read this book Every

this suit.
The plaintiff alleges In his petition
that by reason of the failure on the
part of defendant to release and dis
charge this said mortgage of record,
a cloud Is cast upon plaintiffs title,
which plaintiff seeks to remove by this
suit and prays that the title to said
real estate be quoted In him.
You are required TO answer said
petition ON or before the 18th day OF
February. 1906. or the allegations
thereof will be- taken as true and a
decree entered accordingly.

MRS. EDDY WON'T
SEE REPORTERS
her Followers Declare That
She is Well and Directs
the Church

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
CONCORD, n. H., oct. 29-Despite
the evident confusion and state OF un-
rest into which the leaders Of the
Christian Science Church have been
thrown by the reported condition Of
affairs at Pleasantview, the palatial
home of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, no
attempt has been made-as was ex-
-pected would be made--to check the
steadily increasing sensation by having
Mrs Eddy appear in public or be In
terviewed by disinterested persons. SO
far the denials of the charges brought
by the New York World have come
only from persons most interested in
having the sensation exploded. All
efforts of newspapermen to get an in
terview with Mrs. Eddy and thus end
the present doubt and uncertainty have
been turned down by those surrounding
Mrs. Eddy.
The New York World yesterday made
the statement that Mrs. Eddy was
helpless from a cancer and was no
longer head Of the First Church OF
Christ, Scientists. but merely a pup
pet in the hands Of a band Of designing
schemers."

DIR. M'CURDY
DISCUSSES MONEY
Says Time is Coming When
Men Will Value intelligence
Above II

The Rev. DR.. Thomas A. McCurdy
preached the second sermon Of a SER
les on what Men are Thinking About
to Central Presbyterian Church con-
gregation last evening. The discourse
was based upon the text Riches and
honor are with me, yea, double riches
and righteousness" and dealt ex-
haustlvely with the present mad race
for the possession of wealth.
The speaker drew vivid word pic
lures of the things made possible by
the use OF wealth, and took occasion
to fay those who used their wealth for
the oppression of the poor He also
defined the different grades Of wealth,
from abject poverty to plutocracy, and
stated that its possession was an. open
sesame to society rather than the pos
session OF brains or other qualities Of
merit.
DR.. McCurdy referred to the much
mooted question OF tainted money"
holding that money held by -God-fear-
ing men was not to be considered as
such. but only when in the possession of
gamblers and persons having to do with
the debauchery Of the people.
The speaker also prophesied that IN
time to come money will be Of neces-
sity a secondary consideration, and that
intelligence. right living and the true
service of God would be considered the
greatest wealth that any people could
Ipossess.

LESSONS OF THE
FALLING LEAF
DR.. Murray breaches Aulum-
nal Sermon Which Vas
Well Received

Or. W. l.. s. Murray, pastor Of Wash
ington Heights Church yesterday preach
ed a sermon on Leaves" suggestive OF
the autumnal season. He said:
"Autumnal studies are among the most
interesting and delightful. The seasons
are set for our teachers. and he is dull
scholar who does not learn at the feet of
such profound instructors. The autumn
phIlosophically considered is full Of dis
couragement and melancholy, for It
teaches decay and death, but POLITICALLY
contemplated it is full Of beauty and
grandure. There are those who turn away
from the lessons of the fall OF the year
and see no beauty in the crimson and
gold OF foliage and flower because these
are but the touch of death-the leaves are
dying, but others take the greatest delight
contemplating the gorgeous robes Of the
field and forest because they are the pro-
ducts OF the Divine Artist Frailty and
mortality are forgotten in glory and
grandure. A leaf carelessly considered is
OF little or no importance. but when
thought Of in its origin, structure, use and
relations becomes wonderfully signlh-
cant The clothing OF Adam and Eve was
of leaves. We clothe ourselves in leaves t.
day. All the silk Of the world is made
from leaves and the sons and daughters
Of the original pair, who clothed them
selves in silks are but initiating their
parents. Much Of our food is made Of
leaves. the teas slipped and soothing, are
made Of leaves so that leaves are both
meat and drink. Leaves are also, among
the greatest luxuries. as all tobacco
users declare. not necessities but luxur-
les of indulgence. Yea, more leaves are
made into medicines for the healing Of
our bodies. A leaf becomes Of greatest i'm
portance in these considerations as raim-
nent, food. drink. medicine; one of the
greatest items in commerce. adding mil
lions to our treasury and untold wealth
and comfort TO our bodies, homes,
churches, nation and to the world.
