CHRISTIAN SCIENCE FAITH Frank H. Leonard of Brooklyn Lec ture i at the Star Theater. LARGE AUDIENCE GREETS HIM Defines Attlta.de of Hie Faith Toward the Bible and the Book Written by Mrs. Eddy, the Founder of the Faith. Fisnk H. Leonard of Brooklyn, N. Y., mem be r of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, In Boston, addressed an audi ence Thursday evening at the Star theater. Council Bluffs, which completely filled the first floor and balcony. In the audience were many membora of the church tram Omaha. Mr. Leonard, who was Introduced by 3. A. Barrls, first reader of the Flrat Church of Christ, Scientist, In thla city, proved himself to be a most Interesting and pleas ing speaker. He opened his address by relating bow he became a Christian Scientist by being cured of what was claimed to be an incur able organic disease through Christian Science. His address In part follows: I have heard It said that Christian Scientists do not use the Bible; that all we use Is "Science and Health with a Key to the Scriptures" written by Mrs. Eddy. No statement could be more untrue, because the disclosures of the Spirit of the Word which maketh alive, comes only aa a re sult of the continuous study of the Bible with the aid of the Christian Science text book. Almost every denomination has Its Bible-helps prepared for the use of the lay members of the church by those presumed to have the knowledge of what lesson the scrlDtures have for mankind. In such a manner that Bible study may be Intelli gently Indulged In. That Is what the Christian Science text hook is it Is our Hible help; it is the book that we study our Bible with; It Is the book that has rent the veil of mystery from top to bottom, revealing the spiritual Im port of the scriptures and opening to us the Holy of Holies. You have doubtless heard people say. In speaking of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," the text book of Chris tian Science written by Mra. Eddy: "I have read that book from cover to cover and nobody on earth can make any senso out of It. Hand a text book of algebra to a child! Tell him to read It through from cover to cover without any previous Instruction as to how to read It, and then, when he has finished It, ask his opinion of It. What will he say? Naturally enough he will say, "I have read It from cover to cover and nobody on earth can make any sense out of It." Then you say to him, "Take -that text book and go to someone who Is a student of algebra and let him tell you what It means." He follows your advice, and the result Is that what ap peared like a meaningless Jumble to him, becomes an avenue through which he Is en abled to work out problems that he never could work out before. Is that what peo ple oo wnen mey warn to Know something about Christian Science? No; generally speaking, i It la not. They find somebodv that doesn't know . anything about It, and ask them what It means, and they only lesrn what the other fellow doesn't know that he doesn't know, and It becomes a elf-evldent case of the blind leading the Mind, with the Inevitable result thev both fall Into the ditch. And this Is the kind if Investigation that precedes alleged crlt. ic'm of Christian Science. We ask y.iu to Investigate, not Christian Scientists. lit Christian Science, and aee how absolutely It reveals the Godly stand ard, wherein what blesses one blesses all.

The financial report of City Auditor Mc Aneney for the month of September, which completes the first half of the fiscal year, was given out yesterday and will be sub mitted to the city council at Its meeting next Monday night. The report Is of par ticular Interest at this time Inasmuch as the municipal authorities are confronted with the problem of discovering funds where with to pay the expenses of the special election on October 27. The councllmen have Inferred from the several opinions given by City Solicitor Kimball that all of the expenses Incurred In connection with the waterworks question should bo paid out of the contingent or emergency depart ment of tho general fund. The report of the city auditor shows that at the end of September there was only 1510.18 In this fund, which Is not even sufficient to pay the bill of W. H. Bryan, the expert hy draulic engineer, not to mention the ex penses of the special election and the cost of publishing the "booklet" on the water works question. The total amount appropriated for the maintenance of the several city depart ments for the fiscal year was $80,000. This amount was based on the certain revenue from the 10 mill tax levey for the general fund and the uncertain revenue from the miscellaneous sources such as saloon licenses, police court finis and forfeitures, etc. The report shows that during the first six months of the riscal year $45,871.90 of the $80,000 appropriation has already been expended, leaving 34,128.10 to carry on the city government for the remaining six months. The streets and alleys appropriation has beeti entirely expended and the appropria tions for some of the other departments are not In the best of shape. The expenses of the fire and police departments have not so far exceeded the appropriations. The following shows the amounts appro priated for the several departments for the fiscal year and the balances on hand at the end of the first six months: Purpose Appropriation. Unused Salaries, executive dept $11,020.00 $6,476 80 Police and marshall's dept... 22.260 11,145.78 Streets and alleys o.ooo Fire department 24,500.00 12.523.25 Fire and police telegraph,..

The First National bank of this city and Ernest El Hart, president of the bank, aa an Individual are made defendants In two suits brought In the district court yesterday by Andrew G. Gilbert, a former member of. the city council and for a number of years In the Ice and coal busi ness with his brother, Edward J. Gilbert, under the firm name of Gilbert Bros. In. the suit against the First National bank Gilbert seeks to recover $17,194, al leging that he had been compelled to pay usurious Interest to the amount of $8,6S7 on a loan made In February, 1906 The sum sued for" Is double the amount of the alleged usurious Interest. In the suit against E. E. Hart, Gilbert asks $25,000 damages for alleged defama tory and libelous statements made, he claims, by Hart concerning him. Both suits arc connected with Gilbert's transactions with tha bank, which terminated In a surrender of the plaintiff's business about a year ago. John O. Yelser of Omaha appears as at torney for Gilbert In both suits. Pansrle Will Probated. The will of the late Dr. G. W. Pangle was admitted to probate yesterday by Judge Thornell, no one appearing to con test. After the will was filed for probate objections were filed on behalf of a minor son of Harry I Par.gle, deceased, who was a son of the testator by his f'rst. wlfo. It was alleged that Dr. Pangle was not of sound mind when the will was drawn. The matter was set for hearing yesterday, but no other witnesses than those to the signature of the testator of the will wen called and upon this the court admitted the will and codicil to probate. The court at the same time entered an order to the effect that It found that the testator was cf sour.d mind when ha made the will. In the will Harry L.

Wheeler today sent to Clerk Davis hia decision in the mandamus case argued before him last week. The question waa "whether or not the candidates re ceiving the largest number of votes at the primary election should have their names placed on the official ballot, or whether the action of the board of supervisors In redis ricting the county made It necessary to nominate new candidates by petition. The "gist" of the decision is as follows: "If the candidate chosen at the primary meets with favor at the hands of the board, the sit uation remains unchangrd, but If he does not nieet with favor, the board can chanse the situation and defeat him. The legis lature never Intended for such a condition to exist. Under the prlmanry law the candidate receiving- the largest number of votes Is Invested with an official char acter. The legislature may abolish an office, but that power has not been dele gated to the board of supervisors." The candidates approved at the primary will have their names placed upon tha official ballot by this ruling. Sole agents Radiant Home base burners, Petersen & Schoenlng Co. N. T. Plumbing Co.

Senator Bever Idge waa Introduced by Senator Burkett and within a few minutes after he began hla address he mentioned the name ot Mr. Bryan. This was the signal for the packed gallery to let loose and It did. Many on the floor took up the cheering and fur a tlmu it looked aa though the Bryanllcs were In the majority. , Patiently the Indiana man waited until the cheering aubslded, then he asked the people to listen to him as one American talking to another. Personally he said, he had great respect for Mr. Bryan, but he asked the opporunlty to discuss the things he stands for and compare these theories with the deeds of the republican party and candidate. Question for Bryan. Senator Beverldge began by showing that there were republican senators who op posed the Taft policies. He then asked Mr. Bryan five questions which he had asked on previous occasions and which had not been answered.

He asked If Mr. Bryan would repeat any of the progressive legislation enacted during the last seven years. He asked If the people were not entitled to know where the democratic senators stood on the Bryan policies. The questions were posers for the Bryanilt sympathisers and after he had reeled off the names of Parker, Sullivan, Guffey, Taggart and a few others who have Joined with Tillman in suport of Bryan and inquired the why thereof, there waa no more disturbance. Then when the senator explained that a tariff for revenue only meant a tariff which would raise the most money, the democrats sat up. When he explained that coffee w'th a tariff upon It would bring in the greatest revenue because used by practically all the people, they took notice and cheered for the tariff revision premised by the republicans. The discussion of the Injunction plank In the democratic plat form, which was brought forth by a ques tion from the audience, was greeted with wild applause. If carried out as Mr. Bryan advocated It the Injunction would be rend ered worthless, he explained. Then he ahowed that where ono Injunction ran against a laber union 200 were against organized capital. Should.
