Highly Educated
For Christian Science Work.
In Christian Science Mrs. Scissors
work has been large.
To Mrs. Eddy's Metaphysical College
she took the training of the public
schools Of waIdoboro, Damariscotta,
and Newcastle. Me. and Of the Blish
School in Boston. In 1854 she was given
her degree of Doctor OF Christian
Science. and in 1855 she aIternated with
Mrs. Eddy as preacher in the Mother
Church in Boston.
The founder Of Christian Science sent
Mrs. Stetson 10 New York In 1886, after
another missionary had failed to or
ganize a congregation in the metropolis. /
and there in the twenty-three years
which have since elapsed she has pro-
vided personal force for the spread of
the Eddy doctrines and sent forth the
organizers of three other congregations. !

The inference is fair, probably. that

In such a stu alton the source of gov

congregations are branches of that In
Boston and each Of them is as near to

From an outsiders reading OF the

have authority over persons enrolled
not only as members of branch

THE POULTRY EXHIBIT
AT THE RECENT STATE
FAIR IN PUEBLO

At the state fair in Pueblo last week
there was shown the largest and fin
est display of poultry ever made on a
similar occasion in Colorado. There
were altogether 1917 entries in the
department, embracing 67 varieties of
poultry. IS of pigeons, 7 of ducks. 2
of geese, 7 of rabbits and one of
guinea pigs. Only two exhibitors ship

have been a good many more displays
from here If the county had paid the
transportation expenses, as was the
case from El Paso county.
The management of the state fair
has promised to erect a large building
on the grounds for next year in order
to meet the demands of this growing

as to cause his arrest by Mr.. Houle.

here Saturday night from the effects
of injuries received by the fall OF his
horse near Indian Springs the pre-

known range riders and cowboys of

pail bearers, six in number. were cow
boys and wore about their necks black
silk handkerchiefs. instead of the ban
dana, SO common among the catlemen
of the mountain region. The pail
bearers rode on horseback at the side
of the hearse from the undertaker's
chapel to Lakeside cemetery, where
the interment took place. while imme-
diately preceding the funeral cortege
was a company of thirty rough riders.
1t was the first time that mounted
pail bearers had ever been seen here,
and, with the cowboy guard Of honor,
attracted much attention as they rode
slowly and reverently through the
streets to the last resting place OF
their deceased comrade.
The floral tributes were unusually
elaborate and costly, fifty dollars be-
ing spent by the cowboys alone for
flowers to lay upon the coffin of the
dead. There was no service at the
cemetery beyond simple prayer and
lowering into the grave of the casket
of the deceased covered with beautiful
flowers, the symbol of loving memory.
Young Wells was decided favorite
among his associates and the accident
which deprived him of life in the very
hey-day of his strength and useful
ness was deeply deplored by all who
knew him.
On returning to town, Mrs. Wells,
mother of the deceased. shook hands
with every member of the cowboy
contingent and thanked them for the
respect which they had paid to the
memory of her son.

a city for purposes OF an election OF
county or city Offices"
The defense contended that under
this definition a precinct within the
meaning of the local option laws is
only such a precinct that Is a part
and does not cover country precinct
like the one in question.
The defendant further contended
that the town of Prospect Heights had
an election in April 1908 in which the
question, "Shall this be anti-saloon
territory?" was almost unanimously
voted down and that said election was
bar to the re-submission of The
same question insofar as any of the
territory included within the town of
Prospect Heights was concerned as
the law expressly states that: "a vote
for any political subdivision. shall be
bar to the submission to the voters
thereof as applied to that identical
political subdivision or district only,
until after the lapse of 23 months"
There was a further defense that
the returns of the election board had
not been signed by two justices OF the
peace and that they did not cover the
matter OF the submission OF the liquor
question and the result. This was
true. but at the request of the district
attorney the board OF canvassers was
re-convened several days ago and an
amended certificate was made out and
properly signed and filed In the office

ed ample authority that the canvass
ing board had the right to make this
amendment.
