THE COUNTRY CHURCH IS FACING GREAT
OPPORTUNITY. s~e . ,,..
fight the devil gets his due, and too
often he has seized his opportunity to
capture the whole community, bag and
baggage. ..-...... ,..... -..
The cases where church differences
are carried to extremes are fortunately
comparatively rare The worst part of
the division into denominations is
found usually in the division of church
support. 4 community that Gould sup,
port one thriving church divides lis en-
ergies among half dozen. The only
bass singer is Presbyterian perhaps.
ana the soprano is Methodist and the
Sest or the choir are Baptists. AS
result the singing in all the churches
As minus quantity, or nearly so. The
only good Sunday school superintend
eat belongs to one denomination and
all the good teachers belong to anoth,
er. AS result all the Sunday schools
lead precarious existence.
One Of the worst effects Is seen; IN
the social life Of the community. The
country church should be the center
of rural social life. Where several
weak churches have taken the place Of
one strong church. this Is impossible
"A free mingling Of all&the people in
the community on an equal basis is

among two Or three the results are
~ disastrous. The FIRST effect is seen
I'm the quality OF the preachers. The
salaries which the divided churches
can afford to; pay. will attract only the

This afternoon the home of Mrs.

EXPECTED IN
HARRIS CASE

Sensational testimony is expected
to be offered in the case of A. ].
Harris now on trial in the district
court for forgery and uttering forged
paper.
There is no question but the main
prop of the defense will be an effort
to show that Harris is insane to a
degree where he is not criminally
responsible for his acts. 1t is on
this point that the most important
evidence is expected to be given.
On the other hand the state has
DR.. S. D. Hopkins here to refute any
testimony that may be offered by
medical experts on Harris behalf
Dr.. Hopkins is instructor of the de-
partment of nervous and mental dis
eases in the Denver and Gross med
ical college, of Denver.
Resuming the argument about the
introduction of the evidence of the
witness, ]. w. Wiper this afternoon,
the Harris case was again taken up.
The court finally allowed Wiper to
testify over the objection of the de-
fense. The peremptory challenges
of both sides were exercised until at
about three o'clock the jury was
sworn and the state made its opan-
ing statement. Deputy Attorney Nc
Clintock outlined the procedure of
the peoples testimony and this con-
sisted in calling Wiper, who cashed
the check, Victor Corn, whose name
was alleged to have been forged to
the check. d. T. Stone of the Union
Trust & Banking company and Rex
Graham of the Mesa County National
bank. The two latter witnesses
qualified as experts on handwriting
and signatures and testified that
Harris drew the check and signed
Corn's name to the same. The out
line as given by the states attorney
was rigidly adhered to in the intro
duction of testimony and finally the
check was introduced and shown to
the jury. The people rested and inn
mediately Attorney Fry for the de.
fense moved that the court Instruct
the jury to bring in verdict OF
acquittal as the showing by the prose,

SPEECH IS RESTORED
ACCOMPLISHED BY DIR. EGAN, A
CHIROPRACTOR.

After being unable to speak a
word for nearly II years, Miss EN-
ma Balser of this city has regained
her speech, and is now able to con-
verse as well as anyone Miss Baiser
took long series of adjustments
from DR.. j. NJ. Egan. the local chiro-
practor, beginning June 20th of this
year.
-Nhep-bHt- girl of nine years of
age, Miss Balser became i'll, suffered
severe attack of Mysteries and sud-
denly lost the use of her limbs and.
her speech. Later she became able
to walk, but was still unable to talk
Her hearing was not affected. Noted
specialists in Buffalo and local ply
sicians were visited and gave the
young lady various forms of treat
ment, but to no avail.
Shortly after DR.. Egan came to
this city, Miss Balser started to take
treatment from him. She had taken
several and again practically gave up
hope and only the urging of the doc
tor and her friends induced her to
continue. In all, more than 10 ad-
justments were administered, before
the end was finally accomplished.
There were four Jumps of consid-
cradle size below and slightly behind
each of the young lady's ears. The
treatment has caused One on each
side to diminish considerably. Fol-
lowing an adjustment, DR.. Egan
seized the small Jumps and gently but
firmly pulled them forward, toward
the point of the girls chin. She
screamed, THAT hurts,' the first
words she had uttered in nearly II
years. She was able to continue con-
versing. but was advised not to, as
her throat Immediately became very
sore. AS it grew better. however,
the young lady could talk, and is
now able 'to converse without the
least effort.
Miss Balser accompanied DR.. and
Mrs. Egan to Grand Rapids, where
the young lady was brought before

tors held there the latter part of last
