WOMAN WHO WATCHED HER
HOME BURN CLAIMS EVIL
ONES AFTER HER.

Justifying her action before the com.
missioners OF insanity by stating that
she fred her house because she was
sure some devils were going to do Sc

up, Mrs. Caroline Colborn Of Agency
admitted the firing of her home this

without any apparent interest in the
loss she sustained.
II am regular born angel" said
Mrs. Colborn, before the commissioners
OF insane this morning at the court
house. There is number of regu-
lar born devils there in Agency that
/ hear talking SANDER things about me
and knew they were going to burn up
my house that night and try to burn
me in it. just fooled them and set
1t afire myself and did not give them
chance to get me.
The unfortunate woman is but little
past sixty years Of age and his been
q county charge for number of years.
She suffers from Authorizations and her
particular hobby is angels that come
to see and visit her, among them being
her deceased husband and others long
dead. She says her own family
including her brother who is a minister
Of the gospel, have forgotten their
bringing up. She stoutly maintains
however that she has not forgotten
her raising. To use her own words,
she says II am a pure angel that the
devils that abound In Agency are try
ing to do awful things to-" Il amt
agoin to no county poor house." she
stated this morning to the commits
sioners when the matter OF her dis
position was discussed. That body,
however found her to be suffering from

REPLIES TO
MRS. STE.TsON
JOHN L. Kendall SAYS CHRIS.
TIAN SCIENTISTS DO NOT
ACCEPT HER BELIEF.

John L. Kendall of Des Moines, IN
letter to the Courier, makes the follow
ing reply to the statement OF Mrs.
Augusta E. Stetson of New York that
she believed Mrs. Eddy will manifest
herself after death: I'D,
"The statement of Mrs. Augusta ~.
Stetson, of New York City, that In her
belief Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, the
founder of the Christian Science de-
nomination, will manifest herself after
death, is not accepted by Christian
Scientists for the reason that this
would be entirely unnecessary.
Jesus proved once and for all that
there is life beyond the grave and
Christian Scientists recognize that the
real Mrs. Eddy is alive today IN &C.
cordance with the hope Of immortality
given them in the scriptures and dis.
tinctly emphasized in Science and
Health, With Key to the Scripture, by
Mary Baker Eddy.
There is no fear upon the part OF
Christian Scientists of any split IN
the church. The rank and file OF
Christian Scientists are absolutely
loyal to Mrs. Eddy's teachings and to
the board Of directors of the mother
church, who are so efficiently carry
ing on the work of Christian Science.

sUREs CONTINUATION.

peared before the advertising com.
mittee Of the Muscatine Commercial
club to discuss the local situation.
Mr.. Gates, who came to Muscatlne
to confer with the committee regard
ing the future of the local industry,
stated, however, that it would be i'm
possible to move the corn product

reasons, the most important of which
was that the company does not pos

an extent that an extension would be
a difficult matter" declared the COM
