DEATH OF ]. N. JAMES.
An Aged Citizen, Beloved ana Re
spected, Passes Away on "a
Sunday, Oct. 4, 1908,


John Nelson James, after lorS per-
iod of i'll health, caused by his advanced
age. died at the home of his son, Z. T.
James, on Sunday evening at 1880
o'clock. Mr. James had been resi-
dent of Wausau for eleven years and a
good deal of that time was active,
mingling with our people day times
and evenings, and he became known to
many His proverbial cheerfulness;
his varied life as soldier, a farmer and
a business man, made him an interest
ing person with whom to spend pleas
ant hour, and he therefore had wide
circle of very warm friends who deeply
mourn his death.
John Nelson James was born at Viii
lianovia, Cataragus county, New York,
July Both, 1927, and was the eldest of a
family of eight children, all of whom
are dead with the exception OF one sis
ter, Mrs Celia L. Bush, of Columbus,
Wis. His wife, Mary Hays James,
died in Wausau in March, 1898. OF
their family of six children, three are
still living, being Emmett W., of Iowa,
Chas. p. and Elroy NJ, of Wausau. His
line of ancestry dates back to the revo-
lutionary war and to the old Puritan
stock, and among his immediate ances-
tors were several very eminent divines
noted for their conservation and ability
in pulpit and pastoral work.
Mr.. James came to the southern part
of Wisconsin in 1874, settling on farm
and living the life of pioneer. He
was always active in church work, hav-
ing been superintendent of Sunday
schools and leader of the music for
many years, and to his faithfulness is
largely due the continuance of the
church organization at his old home in
Hampden, Wis. He served four years
in the civil war and has been an hon
ored member of Cutler Post, g. A. R.,
in this city since he moved to Wausau
to make his home with his sons about
eleven years ago.
He enlisted in July, 1861, as private
in Company L, 18th Wis. Inf. and was
promoted to First Duty Sergeant and
received his baptismal fire at Pittsburg
Landing, April 9th and 18th, 1862, the
18th being one of the several Wisconsin
regiments reaching that historic battle
field but very few days previous to
the battle. Mr.. James was discharged
for disability after a service of many
months. He came home, recovered
his health and in 1864 re-enlisted
in the First Wisconsin Artillery, as
chief musician, in which capacity he
served until the close of the war, being
mustered out in the summer of 1865.
The funeral was held from the home
of his son, c. P. James, at $40 Hamilton
street, at $50 o'clock this Tuesday
morning, being in charge of Cutler
Post, the Rev. F. H. Brigham officiat-
ing. The remains were then taken to
the St. Paul depot and from there to
Columbus, Wis, his Old home, there to
be laid at rest beside those of his wife
and children. His sister, Mrs. Bush,
and granddaughter and two sons and
their families, who were at his bedside,
accompanied the remains to Columbus,
where further services will be held in
the old church at Hampden, Wis.
The pall-bearers were j. A. Jones,
S. S. Messervey, r. H. johnson, Henry
Grob, Jos. Quimby and d. M. Maxson.

FURNISHED THE PROOF"

How differently people see thingsl
There are some men who can see no
honesty or uprightness in any man.
They are always looking on the seamy
side of things and continually crying
fraud and graft" In its last is
sue the Rawlins Journal had an ed
itorial headed, Furnished the Proof
in which it goes on to score President
Roosevelt and to cry graft" and
fraud" in connection with the Pana-
ma Canal. 1t lauded Pulitzer. of the
New York World, and to say that he
had come back with the "proof" OF
the fraud. t.. .t. I'D. &c.
And now for the other side. Will
liam Nelson Cromwell, the man who
negotiated the $40, 900, 900 for thetwo
French Companies, comes forward
with the statement that there was any
graft about the deal was absolutely
false. The money was transferred
directly from the treasury at Wash
ington to the Bank of France and
there it remained until distributed to
the ~beneiciaries of the two companies,
and not one dollar Of it ever came to
Cromwell or any one else in America
outside of their regular compensation.
President Roosevelt promises to sue
the New York World and the Indian
apolis News for libel and it is to be
hoped that he will keep his promise.
Yellow journalism is the greatest
menace at all times to the good rep,

should be made to feel that there is Il
limit to public criticism.

THE QUESTION OF TIE WEATHER

van LLilI 4ut-A ~ IHuJ q
1t is said that the Japanese never
discuss the weather, They take the
weather, good or bad, as a matter of
course, and the children are taught
in infancy not to discuss what the
weather may be tomorrow, or at any
time. 1t is said by the Japanese that
the weather is something that cannot
be helped. Then why discuss it,
They are just that much ahead of us
Americans, for the weather - ia the
most fruitful topic of conversation we
have, and when one stops to think
about it, it is about the most foolish
custom we have. For example: Just
at present we are having a severe
NOW storm and it is bad getting
about in it. While everyone knows
that any remarks or protests they may
put up will not avail in the least to
change matters, yet we will venture
to say that every inhabitant of Sara
toga has made, on anaverage, a dozen
remarks about the weather every wax
ing hour of the day, all of which was
perfectly useless and really made to
make talk
Why do we "make TALK" Why
cannot we philosophically accept the
weather as something inevitable, and
entirely beyond control, instead of
railing at it and eternally asking each
other "is it hot enough for youi" or
some other inane remark of like i'm
port. We have heard men sit and
rail at the weather for hours and COM
plain if the wind blew too hard, or if
it was uncomfortably warm, or I'M
pleasantly cool. and yet not all the
complaining or railing served to make
one iota of change in the weather.
Really when one m to think of it
this continued conversation about the
weather simply has the effect of keep
ing people from thinking and talking
about better and more profitable
things. Let us try to initiate the
Japs and not discuss the weather.

NO CHRISTIAN PSYCHOLOGY


We are taught in cur text-bCo';
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" that "if God had instituted
material laws to govern man, disObe-
dance to which would have made man
i'll, Jesus would not have disregarded
those laws by healing in direct oppo-
sition to them and in defiance of all
material conditions" (p. 22O. The
animus of this teaching pervades all of
Mrs. Eddy's writings on Christian
Science.
Christian psychology is equivalent 10
Christian phrenology, physiology, and
mythology, whereas Jesus predicated
and demonstrated Christian healing On
the basis of spirit, God. He never
complicated spirit with matter, never
taught the finite opposite of God
spirit, infnity, all. Theology means
one God, and Christianity is not
founded on any other basis except one
God, one infinite. and that infinite di
vine love. God is spirit, and they
that worship Him must worship in
truth. AS revealed in Christian
Science. God is unconscious of matter
for if He is spirit, and all, He canno

know aught that would be the very
unlikeness of Himself in quantity, quail
ity, and divinity.
Neglect of this, the real meaning of
Christianity, resulted in a loss of the
power to heal the sick centuries ago,
and today also there are those who
are casting lots for Christ's seamless
robe, but by their failure to perceive
the oneness of spirit they also will
lose the truth of Christianity, and thus
be unable to demonstrate it upon the
divine principle which Jesus taught
namely, one God, one infinite, hence
no matter. Christianity without this
| essential science of Christian truth
the oneness of spirits left without
perfect principle and without sciea
tific demonstration thereof. In other
words, they who drop spirit as the
one and all of Christianity, thereby
lose the demonstration of the powel
of spirit, through Christ, to heal thf
sick and cleanse the leper, to destroy
sin. disease, and death.
