A. D. Houghton, until j a day or so ago professor of pathology j in the Hahnemann Medical college, made : this assertion and demonstrated that with chemicals he is able to accomplish ! that which puzzles the microscopist. | What his chemicals were ho declined to : say.

The biologist says ! life consists of celU, and that .ells beget cells I and thus multiply. The geologist, who pro- j foundly antedates the biologist, says the latter is wrong and that originally there was no life on earth. I think the geologist right. When the earth was fcrmed mud was not the kind of mud we have to-day. It had other properties, and thoeo properties have been lost. There war* certain chemicals abounding then which were everywhere. Therefore they were con ducive to the springing up of life. For that reason we hear of spontaneous generation. "1 began with crystals. So began Professor Bulschli of Vienna. We are working along the same lines, and I think no one is nearer the truth than we are. 1 was working with crystals, as 1 said, and I found some curious thing*— crystals have life, and that by re versing my work 1 could see things more wonderful still.

A DOWIE DISCIPLE Mrs. Hetland of Hendrum, Minn., Married One. FELL UNDER SPELL WHILE SICK I pon Her Death Her Husband Aa nlgned Estate to Dowie— Snit Mill Follow. Special to The Journal. Hendrum, Minn., Dec. 21.—Mrs. Clara Hetland was well known here, having re sided in this community, and being a sis ter of A. H. and A. L. Gordon. About two years ago she went to Arizona for her health, being afflicted with consumption, but the bracing air of the southwest did not seem to make any improvement in her condition. About this time she fell in with some of Dowle's disciples, and in her despon- I dent condition was an easy prey to their j representations of speedy cure by the j Dowie method. The first step which the ; process of faith cure demanded was mar- ! riage, and she was accordingly united im mediately to Edgar Foster, one of Dowie's pupils. In a month she died. She had some property, including a good farm, and Foster claims it all by right of inheritance and will. A few weeks after Mrs. Hetland's death Foster appeared here, to settle the estate, and was met by A. H. Gordon, and treated well. He expressed a desire to see his wife's relatives, but one day suddenly dis appeared, and the next thing heard of was that he had assigned his claim to John Dowie, the infamous Chicagoan, who has engaged Attorney Calkins of Ada to prose cute his claim. The Gordons have engaged Peter Sharpe of Ada and F. H. Peterson of Moorhead, and the case will come up at the July term of court. They expect to prove that Mrs. Hetlaud was., in her weakened con dition, unduly influenced by the Dowie ites, and was not in a mental condition to make any contract —either marriage or will. MASONRr~AND"~MONEY BOGUS LODGES ARE ORGANIZED Charge That Expelled Masons Are Initiating' Men at So Much Per Head. 2?eu> Torb Sun Special Servie* New York, Dec 21. —The Press says [ that Charles W. Meade,' grand master of ; j the grand lodge of Free and Accepted Ma ! sons, will arrive here to-day. He is I coming to take hold with other high offi cers of a question important to Masonry. To-day the order which boasts of its an cient lineage from the time of King Solo mon has before its officers facts which | show that lodges are being formed by j expelled and clandestine Masons, and thac j the right of fellowship has become a com- I merclal quantity, and degrees being sold \ to candidates at so much a head. Men j have been initiated in the city of New i : fork, and have come forth believing I themselves true in the faith which has j ■ been taught for so many centuries. The grand lodge of Masons of the state j : of New fork is determined that this bold j I attempt to institute clandestine lodges in > I the city and state shall not be success- ! ! ful, if exposure and denunciation will pre- i i vent it. Grand Secretary Ellis has come \ out in a public statement, saying that i the grand lodge of Ohio of which Justin j Pinney is grand master te a bogus insti tution, composed of expelled and clandes- i tine Masons and without Masonic author ity of any kind. This, it is said, will be followed by an | even stronger edict from Grand Master | Meade. Everything that can be done to | i prevent the propagandists from mislead- | i ing the people of New York will be done, I ! and every lodge in the state will be put ! lon its guard against these clandestine i Masons who are to be made by the whole- j ] sale at $15 a head and turned loose upon ; the public. A most rigid investigation ! will be made. It is alleged that certain 1 men are giving this clandestine movement ' their countenance and support, and the ! j name of Dr. Wilson is mentioned openly as one of those upon whom the wrath of j the Masons of this state may fall. Charges against Dr. Wilson may be made. To a reporter who interviewed him on his relations with these clandes- I tine Masons, he made certain admissions; | which may lead to the preferment of \ i charges against him in the Masonic body. ' I He admitted that he knew Paget, the I j deputy of Justin Pinney in this city; that j I Paget visited his office and that he per ! rnitted him to leave his clandestine liter j ature there. He also admitted that he re ferred persons to Paget, who made in- i quiries concerning the clandestine lodges, ] I and that he had been present for four or i J five minutes at a meeting of these clan- ■ j destine Masons in their lodge rooms. He i I spoke in the kindliest terms of the men I who are affiliated in the movement, and attempted to justify their action, saying ! that many of them are his friends. WOULD SAVE HOOT Infernal Machine Man Gets His Case Into lowa Supreme Court. Special to The Journal. Dcs Moines, lowa, Dec. 21. —The ab stracts in the case of the State vs. Jerome \V. Hoot were filed in the supreme court last evening. This is a case of note from i Blaok Hawk county. Hoot was indicted Oct. 30, 1898, at Waterloo, for sending to j his wife, Nellie S.

BIG FARM FOR EXPERIMENTS When the Right Plant Is Found It Will Be Propagated in Western StuteM. Special to The Journal. Omaha, "Neb., Dec. 21.—The railroads of the west have a plan in view which contemplates the reseeding of the worn out cattle ranges of the entire west. The preliminary part of the scheme, a work of great magnitude itself, involves a large experimental farm in order that a seed suited to the country may be discovered. It is the intention to establish such fari&l at some central range point in the early spring. R. c. Judson, industrial agent of the Oregon Railway & Navigation com pany, will mall probability be at the head of this experiment station. Mr. Judson has charge of the experimental farm of his road, situated at Walla Walla, Wash., and has given much thought and study to the proposition outlined. The western ranges have been im measurably impoverished and injured by overcrowding. The sheep especially have caused a great deal of trouble, since what they do not dig up with their sharp teeth, they punch in with their equally keen hoofs, and if bunched beyond a reasonable limit, soon destroy every growth except sage brush. As a result of this deteriora tion of the ranges, it now requires double as many acres to maintain a given number of cattle or sheep as formerly. The rail roads hope to increase the grass to such an extent that the ranges will maintain a larger number than originally. The proposition is one of great sig nificance and many ramifications. Should it be carried to a successful issue, the ranges of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana and Idaho will be vastly affected. If the proper grass plant can be found, the railroads most interested in these states will go to any reasonable extent in furthering the plant. The entire plan has so fully matured that its first step will be taken in the early spring. This is the fencing of 3.000 or 4,000 acres of land in a central range country, dividing it off Into thirty smaller plots and plant as many different grasse3 as plots. The central idea is to find some plant which will be luxuriant, hardy and is nutritious enough for stock purposes. After this is found the government will be asked to make an extensive appropria tion to purchase and sow this sed through out the entire range country. Each state will also be asked* to support the plan wherever possible. This is a gigantic proposition, but each year makes its beginning more imperative.

The names and addresses to these let ters have been withheld from respect to the Sisters but will be furnished upon re quest. In every country of the civilized world the Sisters of Charity are known. Not only do they minister to the spiritual and intellectual needs of those with whom they come in contact, but they also minister to their bodily needs. They are as skilled as trained nurses in their treatment of disease, and are .looked upon as messengers of good cheer by countless patient sufferers. One-half of the diseases which afflict mankind are due to some catarrhal de rangement of the mucous membrane lining some organ or passage of the body. A remedy that, would act imme diately upon the congested mucous mem brane, restoring it to its normal state, would consequently cure all these dis eases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever lo cated, whether it be in the head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs.
