REV. GRIER WILL
ANSWER THESE

At the Universalist church last
evening the following questions
were asked and will be answered
this evening:
What is meant by the Holy
Ghost? Is not character the result
of experience and education rather
than of religious impulse? How
can people who die unrepentant be
saved after death? What is the
scientific explanation of the resur,
rection of Christ? What do Uni
versalists believe about Christ
What about the Bible? How can
there be a fallen angel?
The meeting this evening will
be especially for young people. Mr..
Morton Mccartney will sing.

An Itching Palm
No Cure for It-Other Forms Of
Itching Preferable.

No Cure for It-other Forms Of
Itching Preferable.
There is no cure for an itching
palm-the money kind. Even pos
lam, the new skin discovery, can
not help it. But when it comes to
eczema the most annoying of itch
ing skin troubles, poslam will stop
the itching at once and cure the
worst cases in few days. So
with hives, rash, scabies, split toes,
piles; and scaly scalp, all of which
are different forms of eczema, ac-
companied by severe itching and
caused by imperfect digestion and
careless diet.
Poslam comes in 81 jars, but so
cents worth will answer in curing
any of the diseases mentioned. 1t
can be had of any druggist. Muir
gittroyd's and Ritter's make a spe-
cialty of it.
That results are immediate will
be amply demonstrated overnight
by the use of the experimental
sample which the Emergency
Laboratories, 80 West Twenty
fifth street, New York city, will
send free by mail, in plain wrap
per. to any one who will write
for 1t.

GHOSTS ARISE
FROM RECORDS
CANDIDATES WHO HAVE SIGN
Ed DOCUMENTS IN THE PAST
ARE NOW BUSY WITH THE
EXPLANATIONS.

A man with political ambitions
will do we'll to carefully consider
his action in signing the numerous
petitions that are in circulatioH
from time to time, especially petit
lions that may be addressed to the
city council. All petitions that
reach the city council are filed
away in the vaults and become
matters of public record, subject
to being resurrected at any time.
An instance of this kind is the
case of S. E. Kinney, republican
candidate for council in the First
ward in opposition to Leonard
Funk, democrat. When the agita-
ton for a saloon on East Sprague
was up a few years ago Kinney
signed the petition for the saloon.
The other night at meeting in
his ward someone who had resur-
rected the petition asked Mr.. Kin
ney to explain. He said that he
was opposed to saloons in the resi-
dence district but had petitioned
for the saloon on East Sprague on
the ground that it had become a
business section.
N. S. Pratt, the democratic can
didate for mayor, has likewise been
kept busy explaining his attitude in
voting to drive out pool rooms and
then letting down the Lars to per
NIT the Interstate fair to reap a
harvest for pool selling for one
season, when the same privilege
was denied all others.
