| Spiritualists Association convention, in

ualist church, was the principal lecturer.

passages in the Bible which should not
be there Later he discussed trumpet
calls" and declared that in numerous
places the Bible carries out the entire
plan of spiritualism and shows 1t to be
true The speaker declared that many
passages have been taken from the Bible
in the later editions that showed plainly
they could not have been OF divine origin.
Mrs. ]. p. Whtwell of st. Paul, Mimi,
transmitted a number of messages to per-
sons In the audience, alleged to be from
friends in the spirit world. After she
concluded Mr.. F. w. Sprague of Detroit
followed with additional messages. Ten
times he called to various persons in the
audience and told them of the spirit of
some loved one standing by their side
and about to take them in loving en-
brace. Men and women in the audience
were told of relatives who had died In
infancy and who now had grown up In
the spirit world. Persons who stated
that they had never seen the medium be-
lore answered that everything he told
them was correct.
In one instance a man was told that a
spirit stood alongside him. The spirit
according to the medium. was of the be-
lief that the auditor was "a pretty good
fellow Pointing to a lady sitting next
to the man under observation the me-
dunn asked, And don't you think he is
all right?" The one addressed looked
nonplussed for a moment and then an
swered. He is stranger to me-" Mr..
Sprague then explained that he had not
interpreted the words o. the spirit cor

A DISAPPOINTED SHAH.
Queer Story of a Prizefight In an Eng

story ot the first visit of shah to

The shah wanted to see a prizefght.
with blood. After much anxious
thought and consultation with Lord
Queensberry an innocent glove fight
was arranged in the Buckingham pal
ace stables, to take place quietly half
an hour before the shah was to receive
Lord Shaftesbury and the archbishops
and bishops with a memorial asking
him to protect the interests of the
Christians in Persia.
But the Shah slept late. The prize
fighters overlapped the prelates. A
footman made mistake in opening
the door. Archbishops and bishops fol-
lowing the shah In q moment found
themselves more or less In a ring
round the two prizefghters The
bishops hustled back to the reception
room, the fight was stopped, the shah
was angry and disappointed, and Lord
Shaftesbury was heard shouting: "a
prizefight In the garden Of the queens
palace forsooth! l will denounce you
all over the kingdom Mutual expla-
nations followed, the matter was set
right we sent special messages to the
reporters to keep 1t out of the press.
and was later on privileged to ex-
plain it all to the queen, who took the
matter much more calmly than her
lord chamberlain. Once back. how
ever, inside Buckingham palace, we
all smoothed> our rufied feathers and
listened to most gloomy grafton from
Lord Shaftesbury.
The shah, angry at the Interruption

Henry Rawlinson and growled In Per-

the shah's bear leaders lived in terror
for some days.
The lord chamberlain blamed me, 1
blamed the shah, the shah blamed the
equerry, the equerry blamed the foot

alton than 1t is receiving from the so-called
business interests OF Omaha
The attitude Of the Commercial club,
which pretends to speak for the business
interests, is selfish. unjust, and does not,
In my judgment, voice the sentiment or
meet the approval Of our people, Their
chief objection is that If this bill becomes
a law it will increase the cost of the fire
department, and thereby increase taxes.
Such condition would not necessarily
FOLLOW II proper management was given to
the taxes already levied
But grant that taxes will be increased
Is that a justifable argument against a
measure which means more humane treat
ment of the iremen? No one will deny
that their work is dangerous and many
times heroic. They are called forth at a
moments notice to do work which tries
mans courage. and without delay or hest
tation they give their limbs and lives for
the protection Of the property and safety
Of the city, and they often leave widows
and orphans in their effort to protect Just
such selfish men who now seek for mer-
cenary reasons to deprive them of some
home life, some culture, some pleasure,
and some opportunity to enjoy the city
which they 30 nobly protect.
1t is not a good government which seeks
to throttle mans aspirations for better
things in life. 1t is not a good government
which compels it's servants to perform
labor twenty-four hours a day. But some
business men say II the fremen are not
content with present conditions others will

in our city, which they have paid for by
their savings. They spend their money In

And now that they ask for just. fair and

business men to exhibit such a spirit
