CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 HEALS ITS OWN BODY

5 Speaking of the recent dismissal from the Christian Science Church Of one of the most prominent figures fn the Christian Science churches in
 New York City, the Baltimore Alneri- can says:
 86sIt is only just to observe that
 Christian Science has thereby shown
 q coherency and a power to offset di- yiding opinions that for the time, at
 feast, saves 1t from the rock. What Sever may be the future of the organ- s fzation when it shall lose the able
 leadership it now has is a matter of < unprofitable speculation. This, in
 common with all movements of re- ligious or social nature, comes unde'
 the rigid behest of the higher laws of
 society. These laws, with absolute ! fatality, determine which shall pros Eper, this or that. {

Those persons, therefore who con- cern themselves in great measure as to the future of Christian Science might well lay aside speculation with the full assurance that it has no other character than that which is held by all other churches or social organiza- Tions--which is the character of ser vice. Should this cease, the organize tion would cease.
 In the meantime the healing of the system proves that Christian Science has powers of healing within the or ganization as remarkable as the pow. CTS of another kind to which it's ad herents lay claim

Praise for the Firemen.

Norfolk's fire department is about
the best of any department in any
town of this size in Nebraska, accord
ing to Chief of the Fire Department
Houser of Fremont, who was here yes
terday inspecting the local department
with a view of getting some idea of
what kind of department Fremont
should have. Mr.. Houser is delighted
with Norfolk's quick hitch" service,
something which Fremont needs. He
also was surprised to find that Norfolk
had their own fire team, whereas Ere.
mont has to depend entirely on dray-
men and hackmen for fire horses. Mr..
Houser believes Fremont needs a de-
partment like Norfolk's.
A visit to Bonesteel and Gregory
was made by the chief, who reports
new fire systems being installed at
those places.
Mr.. Houser is p years old, probably
the youngest fire chief in the state.
Fremont's firemen, says Mr.. Houser,
are as good as any in the country, but
all that is necessary there Is q fire
team and wagon.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 23.-Constant
worry over the restless political stu

her husband is believed to live, is
thought to be responsible for the pres

tiers from Livadia say that she is suf-
fering from a nervous disease which
has reached an acute turn. The fact
has been kept from the general pub

have been ordered withheld from pub
LEGATION and mention of the czarina's
illness in Russian newspapers has
been considered occasion for heavy
fine.
1t is stated that the empress is I'M
able to endure the presence of many
persons without fainting. Shouting,
or. indeed almost the slightest noise,
causes her great suffering. 1t is re-
ported that she suffers also from phle-
bits, which affects her feet, often rem
dering her unable to walk, and In ad-
dition. she has an internal malady.
