Dear Sir:-I have received a petit

build new station at that point.
| notice your name on the petition,
and am addressing you as you are
president of the police jury.
We would like very much to build
larger station at Colfnx, but am
going to ask you and your friends
there to realize what we have been
through for the last three years. and
if they will only look over their own
affairs and see how much hard luck
the majority Of people in that coun-
try have had, and are stiIl having.
they will then realize our position.
We have spent every energy to over
come the fearful results of the over
flow, aud have gradually gotten our
track in pretty fair condition. As
you know. and as other citizens oi
your town know, we did all We could
both morally and financially TO en-
courage the locating of a hardwood
mill at your place, and this has al
ready helped out the town some, and
will help it further.
Under all these conditions We would
like to delay the discussion of this
depot question for just exactly one
year, or rather until the spring oi
1911. Talk it over with some oil
your friends. and see what their
views are. Yours truly,

Assistant to President.
The above courteous letter shows
that the officials OF the l.. R. < n. Co.
are well disposed toward Colfax, and
this request for delay is put upon a
reasonable basis. As it is coupled
with a virtual promise that the de-
sires of the people Of this community

the next few months, we believe it to
be right to defer discussion of the
subject until next spring.

Car Driven by G. Sundell.
OCCURS NEAR 9th AND HAMILTON
Owner at Wheel Says He Was Going
Eighteen Miles an Hour but
Officers Declare Speed
Twice That.

Harry, the 5-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Drefs, 261S Hamilton street, was
hit and almost instantly killed last night
before his parents house by an automobile
driven by c. Sundell, 2845 South Thirty
fourth street. Sundell. who was arrested
Immediately after the occurrence by Of

Sundell who is in the real estate busi-

Mr.. and Mrs. Bash 1913 South Tenth street.
They were accompanying him In his auto,
making a tour of the locality when the &C
cident happened. Sundell says he turned
into Hamilton street at Twenty-fourth
street, and admits that between there and
Twenty-fifth street he was travelling at
the rate Of twenty-five ElileE an hour. This

BOSTON, Mass, July 2O.-To The Editor
OF The Bee: In your issue OF the nth inst
you publish a Boston dispatch containing
the following words 'It was announced
simultaneously that Mrs. Eddy would per-
sonally take part in the movement to drive
out of the First Church of Christ Scientist,
the malicious animal magnetism which has
been disturbing the peace OF that institu-
ton" First desire to say that Mrs. Eddy
never takes a personal part In the dis
culinary affairs of her church. Such mat
tiers are always handled by the Christian
Science board of directors The strange
illusion of malicious animal magnetism"
in this statement does not mean anything
to Christian Scientists The use Of the
term in your report is evidently intended
to be facetious. The term malicious
animal magnetism in Christian Science
parlance refers to the human opposite of
Christian Science, the mental malpractice
which undertakes TO ape after Christian
Science even quackery undertakes TO
follow the practice OF the honest physician.
Mrs. Eddy does not believe in the power
Of evil, but she has discovered that certain
persons do believe in certain deceptive men
tai operations and she has taught her
students how 10 protect themselves against
such deception by understanding that God
is in reality the only power.

was presented with a silver medal by the

the game until he reaches the golden an
niversary. which will make him 81 years
