Chicago , .Ian. (1. ( In an address which bristled with the strongest de nunciatory terms al command , Ilov. Johnston Myers , a loading Chicago pastor last night arraigned Christian Science as one of the greatest men aces of modern times. Ue denounced the entire Christian Science movement as a fabric of lies and fraud , "built upon a foundation of error. " He de clared that the teachings of Mrs. Mary liakor Kddy wore those of a physician with whom she formerly was associ ated and whose teaching also Is a "pack of lies. " And lust , but not least , ho declared , that to his own personal knowledge this "delusion" was re sponsible for scores of deaths , lie him self bad charge of at least one funeral n month ago , said bo. which was di rectly chargeable to Christian Science. Smoke Ui ; In Cold Weather. Though In n general way the cold wave of the -last few days has been somewhat detrimental to business and though the store sales for the week will scarcely total what they would have had the weather remained fair , there are a few businesses that have thriven and prospered with the frost. The coal men are obliged to sit with their ears "froze" to the telephone most of the time , while the drivers and their frost-flecked horses are busy distributing the means of warmth around the city. The employes of the Norfolk Plumb ing companies are also in great ( Io ; nian , more In demand than there are men to answer all the calls. The number of pipes and furnaces that have failed to stand the pressure of the frost is exceptionally heavy , because of the preceding mildness of the winter people had become care less In covering the pipes snlllclontly to Insure protection. The grocery stores and moat mar kets are doing a good business ; people ple being obliged to oat a little more In order to withstand the cold. Cigars are also soiling some better than is usual. It Is said that non smokers hardly realize the amount of warmth the nose derives from the stub of. a ton-center. And 'the glass which cools In the summer warms In the frost time. Though It Is general to associate the llrst big drop in temperature with a faulty stove pipe or an overloaded range as yet company No. 1 of the Norfolk fire department has not been called upon to make Its virgin run. There has nol boon sufllclent snow to cause any noticeable delay with the trains and the only outward signs of the severity of the weather wound town Is the occasional brilliant colorIng - Ing of frost-bitten ear or nose. .

CHLOROFORMED IN HIS WAGON. Rural Mall Carrier Has a Unique Ex perience Near Springfield. Springfield , S. . , Jan. 8. John Jones , earlier on rural free delivery route No. . ' ' , of this place , has gone through an experience which Is very unique , and which ho does not wish to have repeated. A local druggist mailed a bottle of chloroform to a customer on Jones' route , and some how , the bottle was broken , with the result that the wagon was so filled with the deadly fumes that he was overcome by the drug and put ! o slcop. The team , missing the con trolling hand of the driver , ran away , upsetting the wagon and spilling Us contents on the ground. This prob ably saved the carrier's life , for n short time In the open air brought him to consciousness. In gathering up the scattered mall ho found the broken bottle , the first intimation ho had of what caused the trouble. He succeeded In finding bis team and fin ished his route , with a badly battered wagon and a feeling for a time that life was scarcely worth living , as an after effect of the anesthetic.

Harry Pratt , who Is nn express mes senger on the Illinois Central railroad , lay down in his car near Onnwa , In. , for a nap. Ho awoke In fearful agony. Not until he missed bis teeth and the mystery was explained could ho ac count for the sudden Illness. Puzzled the Surgeons. He was hurried to the Cherokee hos pital , where surgeons were puzzled over the peculiar mishap. They thought It almost impossible for a man to swallow three false teeth , plate and nil , but when It was remembered that when n person Is sleeping the muscles relax ; making It possible for larger objects to pass through the throat than Is possible when awake , the puzzle was solved. All efforts on the part of surgeons to locate the teeth for twenty-four hours were futile. Thorough examina tions were made and it was said by the surgeons that the teeth were not in the stomach , but they fear they have reached the Intestines. An operation was performed In nn effort to relieve Pratt , but It was nil- successful , no trace of the teeth being found. Ills condition then was highly critical. About ten years ago Harry Pratt wits In the Sioux v.'lty office of the American lOxpress company , leaving the position to accept a run on the Illinois Central notwcon Cherokee and Unawii , and thence to oloux Kails , lie Is forty years of age and has been mak ing his home at Cherokee.

Madison Star-Mail : On their way homo last Saturady evening about G o'clock , Ed and Frank Rowlett met a broken down automobile just north of the Peter Barnes place. 'Lie ma chine had no lights and the Ro'vlett's bad no knowledge of one being near the road until the horses , smelling the gasoline , suddenly turned a square corner throwing both gentle men to the ground , fortunately , how ever , with but slight injury. The team which was a pair of young horses dashed wildly up the road de molishing the vehicle and destroying a number of articles that were placed in the ouggy. This Is a case of gross negligence on the part of the automobile'owners or the men in charge , who we learn were taking the machine for a party in Norfolk , who had made a sale of it to Platte Center parties. Besides Mr. Rowlott's slight in juries , the demolishing of his vehicle and loss 01 other articles In the buggy lie Is aiso loser of a line lap robe which be prized very highly. It is no concern of the Star-Mall but it does seem that where parties were so grossly negligent in falling to display a light that Mr. Hewlett should be at least paid for his actual outlay of money.

Con nor of Klssee Mills , Taney county , doesn't consider it extraordinary , lla takes much more pride in the fact that his ten boys all are Democrats , nine of them belong to church and are Odd Fellows and none of them over was arrested.

Standing six feet one Inch tall , white hair and heard , and a soldierly bearing , lie Is a man who would attract attention in any crowd. He asserts that he has four teen reasons why he should obtain the position he is seeking , eleven of them being the fact thai the ten boys and himself voted the Democratic ticket. Two girls were married to Democrats and the third daughter was married to a R wbliean. Eight years ago Conner con arled this Republican and since then 3 has boon strong In the faith anded with the rest of the family.

"OH , JUST WRAP 'EM UP. " When a Man Orders Flowers that Way They're For the Wife. Kansas City Star : Some author once produced a sonnet which includ ed a tender reference to the last rose of summer. He evidently hasn't lived In Kansas City recently. Hero the last rose of summer Is a decided Im provement over some of the early buds. And the ones produced while there are icicles on the hothouse make Ihoso that nature produces In the front yard during July look like chronic d > s- peptics. They work a shtll game on the plants by sifting the sunlight through window panes and making artificial summer with steam heat. And Its all In order that the people of Kansas City can buy ( lowers whatever time of the year they want 'em. "Th'ore are staples In flowers , " said a florist yesterday , "just as there are In groceries. "The moil ! Their botanical list In cludes about throe essentials and the > consider all the rest of the blossom tribe as models for the wall paper de signs or as accessories to millinery crimes. But the men are the ones who buy ( lowers. Some of those little shops that you have to slide into side ways carry only about four kinds of flowers that's catering to the men. "The woman who sell ilowors can tell whom n purchase Is Intended for by the way a man buys. If ho says Just put a newspaper around them , he's married and wants the Ilowors for the dining room table. But if ho asks for American beauties , and wants the stems about six foot long , and wonders If ho can have a dentist pull the thorns , and has a hey to deliver them he's trying to llnd some ono to share his sorrows. If ho orders a whole case of the biggest ones sent out and Is careless about his change , he's got a plain gold ring In his vest pocket and the minister has boon seen.
