MORE PROTESTS FROM
 PROPERTY OWNERS Opposition to Viaduct Agree ment Expressed at Meeting RESOLUTIONS PASSED
RESOLUTIONS PA
Residents of District Affected Plan to Secure Injunctions to Force Open ing of Twenty-eighth and
 Thirtieth Streets

Property holders in the vicinity of the projected viaducts on First avenue and Twenty eighth street held a meeting last night at the courthouse for the purpose of forming. some plan of procedure to prevent the city from entering into the proposed agreement with the Sloss com pany, the railroads and the street car company relative to the construction of the viaduct
 The result of the meeting was that a committee consisting of John J. Kyser W. L. Klein and Frank Romeo. was ap- pointed for the purpose OF soliciting con- tributions from the property holders to be used as a means of securing legal ad- vice with which to defeat the proposi ton and for other expenses in making the fight.
 After the regular organization of the meeting was effected with Dr. John W. Barclay as chairman and Victor Tortne as secretary, J. W. Altman read the res. outions which were adopted by the meet ing.
 Aldermen Talk
 Following the reading and adoption of the resolutions a general discussion by the property holders and others was be- gun in which the general sentiment was shown to be heartily in favor of putting up all the opposition possible to the pro- posed agreement. and to this effect com mittees and delegations will be appointed to wait upon the members of the legisla- ture in behalf of the rights of the prop erty holders. Among those who sanc tioned the attitude taken by the prop erty holders were Dr. A. J. Dickinson, who. as member of the Municipal Own ership league, stated that he was in sym pathy with the views taken at the meet ing, Alderman Graham Perdue and George Huddleston.
 The talk of Mir. Huddleston was to the effect that 1t was in the power of the city to compel the railroads to build the viaducts and he was of the opinion that within a few years the Sloss furnace could be removed as a public nuisance from the heart of the city.
 MT. Perdue made a brief review of the whole situation since it's incipiency, and stated that the present so-called compro- mise between the city and the corpora lions with the exception Of Thirty-second street, was virtually an extension of the first conditions that were made by the corporations.
 At the meeting 1t was said that bill of complaint will be filed in chancery to- day praying for an injunction whereby Twenty-eighth street may be opened and some time next week another bill, in ef feet the same, will be filed for the pur- pose of opening Thirtieth street.

CLAIM CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND BUDD-

Chicago. March % Editor The
Argus: Referring to the claim made
by DR.. c. Blomgren in your issue of
March goth, that Christian Science is
Form of Buddhism" permit me to
made by one who has correct know
ledge of the fundamental teachings of
Christian Science.
1t is well known that some have
claimed that the founder of Chris
tianity was tainted with Buddhism
and other oriental PHILOSOPHERS and
that he acquired his religious views
during a supposed visit to the far
east in his youth. Christians, howev-
er, do not admit this claim. | am sure
that DR.. Blomgren does not admit it,
and 1t would therefore seem unjust
for him to make the claim that Chris
tian Science is a form of Buddhism
when the discoverer and founder
thereof has said that it Is a rediscov-
cry and reinsta tement of primitive
Christianity. That Christian Science
is doing the works which Christ Je-
sus said should be done by those who
believe in his name and is thereby Civ
ing Christian Scientists the right TO
be regarded as followers of the mas
ter Christian. there can be no doubt.
proof of this fact exists on
every hand.
Dr. Blomgren defines the Buddhis-
tic theory of the universe as follows:
The wheel is the sign of Buddhism as
the cross is the sign of the Christian
To the Buddhist things have
no progressively endless repetition.
The universe is full of vast world
systems. each system having gradual
ly evolved itself out of the ruins of
its predecessor. becoming fairer and
better till IT reaches its full spIendor;

keep her in the present jail building.
she was given into the care of Mrs.
George Siemon, wife of the jailer. I'M
til her bonds were arranged Mrs.
Danibale and Antonio Firmano, were
held yesterday on charges of living to-

denies her guilt emphatically and
claims that she left her husband,
Louis Danibale, because he was cruel
to her and failed to provide for her.
Firmano is now in Jail in default of

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF
c. A. North of Moline Wins Suit
Against Ferry Company.


Against Ferry Company.
A verdict awarding the plaintiff
sS67.1e was reported this morning in
the case of Charles c. North of Moline
against the Moline-Bettendorf Ferry
company The case was tried yester-
day in the county court. The action
was over a bill against the ferry COM
pany for services.
The jury which heard the evidence
in the D. A Dorrance suit against Mrs.
Minnie Ray of Moline reported that it
could not agree, and accordingly it was
dismissed. The jury had been out "a
hours. The case was an appeal from a
Justice court, where a charge OF forci-
BILE entry and detainer suit was filed
against Mrs. Ray by Dorrance, who
owned the house in which the defend
ant lived. The case will probably
never be tried again, as 1t is under
stood the Issues will be settled out of
court.

comes a chaotic ruin, out of which
another world system just like the
old one springs out again. The uni
verse is a great wheel, ever revolving,
ever changing. yet ever the same"
An examination of the Christian Sci
ence textbook would have shown DR..
Of the universe is as far from the fore
going as the east is from the west"
She says:
The belief that matter has life re-
suits, by the universal law of mortal
mind, in a belief in death So man,
tree, and flower are supposed TO die /;
but the fact remains, that Gods uni
verse is spiritual and immortal
God creates and governs the uni
verse, including man. The universe
is filled with spiritual ideas, which
the Mind that makes them"
The scriptures imply that God is
All-inAll. From this it follows that
nothing possesses reality nor exist
ence except the divine Mind and His
ideas. The Scriptures also declare
that God is spirit. Therefore in spir-
il all is harmony, and there can be
no discord; all is Life, and there is no
death Everything in Gods universe
expresses Him"
God is individual, incorporeaI He
is divine principle, love. the univer-
sal cause. the only creator. and there
is no other seh-existence" fScieno>
and Health with Key to the Scrip
lures by Mary Baker Eddy, page 2s9,
295, and 331).
The foregoing brief quotations will
be suffi cient to show that the Chris
tan Science teaching concerning the
universe, and that OF Buddhism as de-
fined by DR.. Blomgren, are diametric-
ally opposed. They will also show
a self-existent creator which 70 is
stated by DR.. BlomgTen is not a part
Of the Buddhistic doctrine.
A careful study of Science and
Health and Mrs. Eddy's other works
has convinced hundreds OF thousands
Of intelligent persons that Christian
Science teachings are essentially
Christian and thoroughly scientific.
This conviction has been confirmed
BY their experience in overcoming
sickness and sin through the power Of
God as Jesus commanded his follow

Well answer when you knock
And welcome you with open arms;
But don't forget your sock.
