PEOPLES SUNDAY ALLIANCE.

When the subject, Success" was
announced a few Sundays ago, a few
people thought that the treating of
such broad subject by Mr.. C. S.
Muse would be of any great conse-
quence. But no sooner had he begun
his thesis until their minds were
changed. He first outlined the vari-
GUS definitions and impressions of
success, then carefully laid his funda-
mental basis to his argument of sue.
cess. While the paper touched vari-
GUS kinds of success, the main force
was spent in showing that success
was perfection that every perfect
gift cometh from God; thence success
was God; that as we were part OF
God (His sons and daughters), we
were successes when our minds or
souls were His or influenced by His
laws and principles, then our bodies
a dneverything physical or material
were successes because as man
thinketh in his heart tmind or souD
so he is; if his mind was Cody, his
body was Cody, and when that con-
dition obtained everything would be
added unto him, because these accom-
plishments would inspire faith or self
reliance and each onward victory
would help you to win some other
unit we would reach our destiny-to
be like Him. our Father. who is per
fection complete Then faith would
inspire our eternal hope to be sue
cess. Rev. Lucas spoke very intelli-
gently on success in health, happi-
ness and in finance, as also did ]. j..
Manuel. Mr.. Muse was warmly greet
ed for the intellectual treat and closed
his paper with an appeal for us, never
to become failures, because success
depends upon the individual and not
upon any luck. man or circumstance.

Democracy Stoops
To Conquer
Democratic Campaign Lie Nailed

An unequivocal denial is given to
the much heralded resolutions alleged
to have been passed by the bishops of

A. NJ E. Zion churches at their coun-
Gil last month, in which they were
represented as threatening the Re-
publican party with the detection of

utation of the bishops of these
churches for common sense was
serious argument against the correct
ness of any report which implicated
them in political manipulation
Whether they individually have inter
est in the machinery of government,
it remained that their position would
not permit any such outrageous pro-
nunciamento. Now comes the abso-
lutte denial that any action whatever
was taken, any resolutions passed
that bore upon politics or Roosevelt,
or Taft, or the Brownsville matter

but from members of the council
The truth is that ministers of these
three denominations met and passed
such resolutions as were reported the
day after the council adjourned, when
many of the bishops were already
speeding back home to look after
their spiritual vineyards. Here is
where the campaign manipulation got
busy. By simply changing the report
as it appeared in the daily press, sub
stituting bishops" for ministers, :"

sition. and held as an alleged reyolu-
zionist against the Mexican govern
ment. has been released on $1,000
bond, a reduction of $500 from The

Sarabia has been in jail in Tucson

of his arrest, however, according TO
the statement of Sarabia's friends,
agents of the Mexican government
succeeded in Kidnapping him in an
automobile and carried him across
the border.
Sarabia came to Los Angeles some
months later, and was arrested there
on the charge with respect 10 which
bail has been now granted. His ex-
tradition TO Tucson, Ariz., was or
dered but he remained In jail in Los
Angeles for nearly a month longer,
the authorities delaying. for one
cause or another, TO take him to the
place where he was TO be tried. He
was finally taken there May s. and
it is declared that his removal was

TALK TONIGHT ON
FIGHTING TYPHOID
City Physician viii Tell Men
and Boys Of Y, M, C, A,
About Infection,

The months Of July and August
during the past years in Bisbee nave
been marked by an annual epidemic
of typhoid fever, due to the rains
and the unusual number of flies which
follow the rains The month OF
August has usually shown the high
est number of cases treated at the
hospitals. A great deal of the typhoid
infection is due to carelessness and
ignorance on the part of many as to
how to avoid infection from the ty-
phoid germ.
Believing that it would be of value
to the men of the camp to have sug-
gested some of the most practical
ways of avoiding infection the secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A. has askec
the city physician, DR.. John Hagan,
to talk on the subject at the Y. NJ.
c. A. building this evening at 7:45
o'clock. 1t is the intention to en-
body these suggestions given by DR..
Hagan in a pamphlet for distribution
among the men of the camp.
The talk is not confined to Y. NJ. G.
a. members, but is open to all men
of the camp and all are urged to at
tend. Admission will be free. This
is to be the first of a series of prac'
teal talks that will be given from
time to time during the coming fall
and winter on timely topics that al

HAD BAD SILVER DOLLAR.

DOUGLAS. July 14.-tSpecial)-t
Feruin Silva and Manuel Garcia
we're placed under arrest yesterday
at the Brook Hill Bar, charged with
having in their possession and attemp-
ting to pass counterfeit silver. They
were placed under arrest by officer
Cook and taken to the city jail. A
single silver dollar was the only bo-
gus coin in their possession, and was
a very poorly executed piece Of work
having every appearance of having
been run in a sand mold. There is
some talk Of having special officer
of the government called to this point,
to ascertain if the source Of the spur
ious coin can be determined, as there
seems to be more or less of it float
ing around, though most of it is so
poorly executed that detection Of the
fraud Is made at once.
