THE CHURCH
AND STATE
MINISTER DIS
cUssEs RELATION OF CHURCH
TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Interesting Address at Meeting Of Lit
erary Society, Rev. Hosbin Taking
Position That Ancient Form
Should Be Disseminating for All
Time-The Next subject.
BY w. 8. Inqham.

The Present Relation of the Church
to Government and Society," as treat.
ed by Rey.A. G. Hogbin at the meet.
ing last night of the Laramie Literary
club, proved to be a most Interesting
subject and provoked an animated dis.
cussion. Mr.. Hogbin traced the man
ner Of the formation of the first church
community, remarking that the an.
cient form should be determinative for
all time. The church, said the speak,
er, should be "a means of spiritual ed
ucation' and its object "the instilla-
ton of truths concerning the spiritual
world"
No Material Benefits.
The church differs from all other as
sociations in that it promises no ma
terial benefits and has connected with
it no form of insurance, but the poor
est woman and the weakest child must
be accepted by 1t, and no one can be
excluded because he cannot pay dues.
While the church places the will of
God above the laws OF man, the ex-
ceptions are few to the rules that the
law comedies with the will of God.
Not Dogmatic.
THE church is not, in a real sense,
dogmatic institution, and should not
be based upon any dogma. The pres
ent tendency of all churches Is in the
of simplicity and more and
more the church in general stands as
the center of good Influences"
Acts Of Parliament.
The discussion following Mr.. Hog
bins address was chiefly along the
ines of the struggle between the es-
tablished church in England and the
UNCONVENTIONAL churches. caused by
the passage of the Baifour educational
bill and the attempt to pass another
bill through the present parliament,
also the condition following the action
Of the French government in forcing
church communities to incorporate.

At the next meeting of the club, A.
N. Hazenkamp will discuss THE Pres
snt Attitude of the Political Parties"
Dean Bode will introduce a cur
'ent topic.

New Superintendent.

At 10 O'Clock tomorrow there will
be a new superintendent on the Wyo-
ming division. Colonel Anderson may
dispute this title, and may contend
that the pay roll will still carry his
name, but the fact of the matter is
the c%olonels name may be necessary
to secure the voucher so that he can
turn the funds into the family treas
ury." The secret is an open one and
Colonel Anderson's thousands 81 of
friends here will be glad to know that
he is not to leave the Wyoming di-
vision-except for a short pleasure
trip. perhaps"

WAS ONCE ARRESTED
AS SAFE CRACKER.

DR.. Alexander ]. McIvor-Tyndall, the
celebrated exponent Of the mysterious
powers of mans subconscious mind,
who opens a three nights engagement
at the Opera House, commencing Mon
day night next, was once arrested as
a ~safe-cracker. His manager tells the
story and the psychist enjoys the joke
as well as anybody. Some years ago
DR.. McIvor-Tyndall was the guest one
evening of some well known business
men at the Rainier club in Seattle,
Wash, when one of them make a veg
err that DR.. McIvor-Tyndall ccn6 not
open his safe by reading the combi-
nation in his (the merchant's) mind.
Another member of the PARTY accept
ed the wager, and the party prepared
to test the question. DR.. McIvor-Tyn-
dali was blindfolded, as he always is
in his demonstrations, in order to shut
out external impressions, and the par
ty started on a run through the city, to
locate the safe. 1t was rather late at
night, being something after IL
O'Clock, and a new policeman on the
beat, anxious to make a record for
himself, scented prey when his eyes
CHANGED to light upon the flying figure,
apparently led by a masked man. He
therefore gave chase, and sure enough,
just as he had expected, the party
was entering the closed n iarkened
office Of a we'll known merchant. By
means of a dark lantern. The burg
lars" were about to open the safe,
when the policeman, out of breath
pounced down upon them and ignoring
explanations and protestations, drag
ged the entire party to the police sta
ton. The question of the opening of
the safe, therefore, was not answered
at that time but since then DR.. McIvor.
Tyndall's ability to read unuttered
through, to see into the future, M to
otherwise demonstrate the reality of
mans powers, has been too well veri-
fed to question. Seats on sale at Lar
annie Drug store. Prices, SO, IS and

AT that time Tibbles was editor Of
the Independent at Lincoln and Bry-
ans Commoner vas printed by the In
dependent plant. Bryan's editorial
desk was in the Independent Office.
Tibbles says:
Can Account for One-third.
Il know where $4,000 of that New
York fund went. 1t went into a
special edition of $4,000 copies Of the
Independent, which was gotten out for
the purpose of electing George w.
Berge as governor.

This amount was handed to us by
Tom Allen, James G. Dahlman and
Colonel j. G.. Maher, and they secured
the funds from the democratic ma

Il don't know what became Of the
other $4,000, but l know positively
the disposition of that 5000. also
know something about the charge that
s15, 900 was lent to Nebraska to get
Bryan to support Parker.

THE day after Bryan returned from
the st. Louis convention he dropped
into the Independent office, sat down
at his desk, and began writing an
editorial. The first words were, 4
shall support Parker
Copied Into Commoner.
We put the editorial in type and
ran it in the Commoner the following
week. All that was done before there
was any talk of needing money in the
Nebraska election and should dispose
of the ridiculous talk about Bryan be-
