the Republican party is not confined
to few men to get officers to run a
government, has offered himself to
the Republican voters of Denver and
Colorado as a candidate for Distric:
Judge at the Primaries to be held
Tuesday. September IL. In asking a

years of residence among the people,

ZION CHURCH.

The pastor preached the second of
the series of sermons on christian
Science and the Atonement" last Sun
day morning to an interested audience.
That these messages will promote
good is beyond question. When the
people come to see that Science and
Health is in direct conflict with the
Word of God, there will come to be
a greater dependence upon the power
of Christ without the help of Mrs.
Eddy. The coming Sunday will close
the series.
Sunday evenings illustrated lecture
was attended by vast throng which
taxed the capacity of our auditorium.
The interest in these Bible lessons is
most remarkable. The series, From
Creation to the Cross will close Sun
day night, when Miss Mable Cole will
sing "The Holy City" illustrated by
the stereopticon. 1t will be a privilege
out of the ordinary and no one should
miss it.
Barring threatened railroad strikes,
the party who expect to attend the

probation placed on Grants salary
collections, and later upheld by the
board. But a closer investigation OF
the statutes affecting the salary
