Foss, a.t er many years in congress, during which he has become a member of the Republican organization, may be du feuted by George P. Englehard, pro gressive. Returns from 104 precincts out of 147 In. the Tenth district give Englehard 3,132, against 2.78G for Foss. James 11. Mann, an outspoken Can non man, met stout resistance from bis progressive opponents In the Sec ond district. Keturns were exception ally meager, but the first few pre clnctB showed a close race. The Lorlmer Democrats, who made his election to the United States sen ate possible, were in nearly every in stance renominated.

Speaker Cannon carried every coun ty In bis district. Lorlmer Democrats Win. The Lorlmer Democrats won In large numbers at the primaries. Three of the four lawmakers now un der Indictment on charges connected with the election of Senator Lorlmer were picked by their districts to re turn to Spring II (.'Ul next winter. The "plumping" system is said to be accountable for this result. Uy this system, where there were three candidates, two candidates may be lg nored ami the trio of votes cast for one. Representatives of the reform forces declared that the outlook is not so dbmal from their viewpoint as might ut flrBt appear. They said that enough seats had been won to hull cate that the next house will be under different control from that which ruled when Mr. Lorlmer was elevated to the senate. Among those renominated are Lee O'Nell llrowne, the Democratic minor ity leader, recently acquitted In Cook county of a charge of bribing a legls lator to vote for Mr. Lorlmer, but against whom there Is another Indict ment at Springfield.

MS Ill SCIENCE Dr. Flune. of the First Church of Boston. Lectures at the Par- mele Theater. Dr. Flune of the board of lecture ship of the Christian Science church of Boston, leetiyed last evening at the Parmele to a fair sized audience. The speaker impressed his audience as a man entirely the master of the subjects discussed, and while he did. not indulge in flights of oratory, yet bis arguments were clear-cut and very forceful. Professor J, YV. Gamble, in introducing the speaker of the even ing, said: YVe of today live In the greatest age no doubt the world has ever known. It is essentially an age of progress due largely to invention and discovery. The age Is characterized by its scientific bent. We are no longer content to known merely, we must know how and wny. In the moral and religious world we are keeping pace with the indus trial. Our ethical code, If you will permit the expression, is more scien tific and we appeal to the Intellect rather than to Ignorance and super stition. This is an age of creeds and sects. Religious influences enter more into the realms of health and happiness than ever before. And I suppose that after all health and happiness in this life together with an assurance of a life in the future more perfect than any we have yet experienced, are af ter all the essential factors of life. I have always had profound respect for the man who traveling what he believed to be the best and most di rect road to future happiness where sin, death and disease, are not, was willing that others might travel a different road without his interfer ence. On the other hand I have had lit tle respect for the man who while traveling no road himself occupied his time in placing obstacles in the path of those who had chosen a road, and vainly endeavoring to show why that road was not passable, without pointing them to a better. Any man or any body of men who have for their object the betterment of mankind and his ultimate perfec tion are entitled to the tolerance of society and If they are able to prove from a scientific standpoint the truth ef their claims, they are then entitled to its co-operation. Should the speaker of the evening be able to prove clearly and logical ly that Christian Science is the means whereby life, health and happiness are attainable by Journeying along the pathway he points out he should be welcomed by every citizen of this community and many people stiould be willing to journey along the way he will point out to you this night. Ladles and gentlemen I take great pleasure in presenting to you the speaker of the evening, Dr. Fluno of the board of lectureship of the Chris tian Science church, at Boston. Dr. Fluno said In part; "Chris tian Science is the law of God, (Science and Health, page 482, line 27) know, understood and found de monstrable. It is the science of be ing, the science of life. It is the knowledge of truth and true being, reduced to a system. Its name de fines it, for It is perfectly Christian, because it countenances no wrong, either in theory or practice. It is scientific, for it admits of no error, either in premise or conclusion. Christian Scientists are individuals who have found this truth and found it to be true; found Christian Science and found it to be scientific, and are succeeding in a measure to demon strate it upon themselves and others who come to them for help. The Bible and 'Science and Health with Key to tho Scriptures,' by Mary Baker Eddy, are the text books of Christian Science. Christian Science is not another religious belief; It Is science. And science is something to be understood and demonstrated, not merely believed. Christian Scientists are studying to understand Christian Science, but not trying to believe it. Christian Science is not something that Mrs. Eddy has created or invent ed. It Is what she has discovered and given to the world. 'Science and Health' and the Bible, when rightly understood, disclose the fact that God la tho only mind and the so-called mortal mind Is but the carnal mind, thnt must be corrected by divine mind. Christian Science :s not the mere superficial idea of not speaking evil or not talking sickness, but that sick ness and evil are not the facts of be ing; they thereforo are not only un profitable topics of conversation, but are not true, and if spoken of at all, they must be exposed as errors and not facts of being. Christian Selene teaches there is no reality In Bin; that Cod made all thnt was made and all he made was good; that God did not make Bin. Therefore, sin, sick ness, pain and death, evil, errors and discord of all kinds do not belong to God nor to his creation, and are no more a part of the great fact of be ing than the errors and misunder standings of mathematics are a part of the science of numbers.. Christian Science teaches "all in mind, there is no matter." And the scriptures de clare 'heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word shall not pass away.' YY'hat does this teach but that all matter and materiality shall pass away, but the divine mind and his idea shall remain forever."
