ISS- ath. DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREdON. MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1005. REVIEWED ERRETT'S ROAST Continues His Fierce Denuncia tions of Christian Scientists A And Deny That jgThey Did Any Wrong In Connection With the Public Land Fraud Administration iniiimntjji mil wn , mxt MITCHELL AND HER MANN REPLY Repeats the Coarse Attacks Made Some Time Ago by a Boston Lawyer by the Name of Peabody Uov. Errott (if the First Christian church delivered a sermon last night, tnking "Some Plain Furls About CliriHtinn Scloneo and Its Founder" as his subject. Ho opened his Bcrmou with tlm stnto ini'iit that two lectures had already been delivered on CliriHtinn Science, nml tliat next Sundny ho will nnswer tlm article printed in the Journal in reply to his first lecture. " havo not requested that these articles bo printed, and T do not euro whothor they arc published or not. I am to deal this evening with the un pleasant side, of Christian Science. This is not by my own desire, but is caused by necessity. J love, respect and honor many Christian Scientists, believing that thoy nro sincere in their belief. Tlio first question I would ask is 'Who is Mrsi Eddy? "Who knows anything about this old woinnn who is porlmps the richest wo man hi America today!' " Jlov. Krrctt then took up his notes, which wero nuiilo up from an nddress delivered by Attornoy 1'eabody to an audienco of 5000 pcoplo in Boston, Mass., on tlio subject of Christian Sci ence, and an attack on Mrs. Eddy. Ho read: "Mr. Peabody says that Mrs. Eddy is a woman 85 years of ago, but this address was delivered flvo years ago, making hor about 90 years old now and in fceblo health. Tn prlvnto lifo she would bo freo from consuro, but she is not in private- life, and ns sho has thousands of fanatical follow ers, I do not hesitato to oxposo her. The wholo truth cannot be told in po lito socioty. Hor influenco is harmful. It is promoting a now form of witch craft, and keeps ninny of her follow crs in a constant state of terror, mid I causes sickness mid death right hero in Boston. Ho snys that sho began her eareor as a spiritualistic medium. Her first husband is buried in tho potter's fiold at AVilmington, X. C. Mrs. Eddy does not believe in mar ringo "for others." Mr. Errott hero remarked that if mil is mind and no matter, marriage would bo impossible. Ho thon read ngaln from Mr. Peabody 's account, and told of her threo marriages, and thon told of pcoplo who boliovo that sho is now tho wifo of Mr. Fryo, her man sorvnnt. This Mr. Fryo owns all of her proporty, her jewels, horses and carringes. Perhaps thoy aro not wifo and husband, ho said, but these things lead pcoplo to believe they aro. Mrs. Eddy has raised horsolf from insigniflcanco to tho leadership of tho most fanatical religious movoniont in tho world, 'nil by a monumental lie." Mm. Eddy is not a fool. Sho is a shrowd, kcon, commercial womiui. Mrs. Eddy appealed to tho liumnn body, mid to do this sho had to appeal to tho human mind. Mrs. Eddy's so-cnllod revelation from God is not true. llov. Errott horo quoted from Mrs. Eddy and said sho has no uso for bath tubs. Sho docs not boliovo in kcoping clenn. Ho said sho says that through your mind you can obtnlti either male i ..- 1r "Pliltr or roniniO gonuur or iiuuiui. . '"v has probably obtained tho latter, honco hor messngo in regard to mnr rineo. Mrs. Eddy's original book is very much difforont from tho book in uso now. Many chapters huvo been dropped and others picked up. Mr. "Wlggin, a Unitarian minister, wroto ono of Mrs. Eddy's sermons for hor, which sho preached ns hor own and publlshod with slight variations in tho thirty-sixth odition of her book under tho lioad of "Waysido Hints," as tho mossago of God. Sho speaks of Josus ns tho mnsculino interpretation of tho spiritual idoa. Mr. Errott horo roquostod tho usher to raiso tho windows, as tho noxt stato mont of Mr. Peabody is a trlflo warm. Mrs. Eddy, in speaking of a woman whom sho dislikod said: "T would liko to tear hor heart out and trmnplo it under my foot." Mr. Errott said: "Itomombor, this is not from tho state mont of n preacher, but from tho ad dress of a lawyer in Boston to 5000 people. " Sho claimed to bo the suc cessor of Jesus Christ only to gain money and power. Her wholo career for .'10 years past has been the crime of "obtaining money under fnlso pre tenses." Sho Is n book agent of the first class and 1 advise all of you who nro in tlio business to tulto lessons from her. Hor students nro ninilo to sell her books, and if they do not do so they nro liable to lose their mem bership in the church. This contract is signed by Mrs. Kddy herself. Mrs. Eddy got over $100,000 for $5000 in tlio building of a church. Mr. Farlow, ouo of her followers, made the statement that Mrs. Eddy has given away more money than was netted her from tlio salo of all her boohs. Mr. Peabody says this is frtisc, and only ono of tlio many falsehoods told by Christian Scientists. Mr. Errott said in clesing: "I nm trying to hold up tonight tlio mon strous things that aro said under the linrno of Christian Science. Salem Broom Factory, Emil Hanset, Proprietor. This now industry has lately sprung up in Salem, being situated at the old North Salem mill ofllce. Mr. Hanset was formerly superior trndent of tlio State Itcfomintnry Hroom Factory at fireen Pay, Wis., and has had 22 years of experience in tho mmiufncturo of brooms of all kinds and knows every detail of tho busi ness. Ho experiences great difficulty in procuring broom straw here to mnko up into brooms, and has been obliged to ship it in from Oklahoma, whoro tho best straw is grown. Tlio froight on manufactured brooms from the enst is vcrv high, thus tho rnw material shipped hero can bomiado up and sold try. Mr. Ilansot thinks broom straw was grown hero in Oregon, it would easily bo a very remunerative indus tr5'. Mr. Houset thinks broom straw can bo successfully grown here, and has a quantity of seed which farmers can get nt his factory for tho ask ing. Mr. Hanset will do all in his power to encourage tho planting of broom straw, and Is satisfied that it can bo successfully grown here. Ho is now paying ns high as Qj cents per pound for straw in bale Tho broom industry in Salem can easily bo oxtendod to quito a largo business. Mr. Hansctt has two sales men on tho road, who aro keeping him quito busy. Two cnrloads of broom straw aro now on tho way from Ok lahoma to this factory. Tho brooms being turned out nro of a superior quality and will soil in nny market. Tho morchants of Salem can well nf- ford to buy brooms of tho homo fac tory. O. W. Hobson. Mr. Hobson, who is popularly known in Salem ns "Tho Ton Cont Man," was born at Salem, Mo. "When about 18 years old ho entered into a part nership with his father and brother, known ns tho Hobson Milling com pany. For flvo years thoy ran n grist mill, saw mill and a gonernl store. At tho end of that time ho, with his brothers, organized tho firm of Hob son Bros. & Peck, dealers in hard waro, implements, otc. Ho retained his intorosts in tho firm for five years, but travoled for two years for tho Milwnukco Harvester company. It was during this tlmo that Mr. Hob son bocamo so well mid favorably known throughout tho northern states mid Canada that tho McCormick Har vester company mado a very substan tial bid for his sorvicos. For tho McCormick pcoplo ho worked threo years, and thon decided to look for an oponing on tho coast. Ho sold his intorost in tho hardwaro firm of Hobson Bros. & Peck, settled up with tho McCormick company and camo west with a littlo money, a strong constitution, a wido rango of business oxporienco, nud n reputation for busi ness integrity and honesty of which nny man may well fool proud. His success since coining to Salem Gold Medal Awarded to E. Hofcr by Article about Oregon, in tho Ton Cent Storo is but another illustration of his keen judgment in business matters. It is a safe venture thnt a larger number and greater variety of people visit G. W. Hobson 's Ten Cent Storo than any othor ono storo in town. During tho Christmas trade there wero times when you could hardly get in side tho-doors. Mr. Hobson likes Salem and tho cli mato of tho Willninetto vnlley, and ho says ns long as "the people treat mo as well as they havo sinco I came, you cannot drivo mo away." Daniels' Barber Shop. "Hip Van Winkle was a lucky mail," but if Rip had been nrouscd from his slumbers about this time ho would have found a first-class barber to reconstruct his frazzled physiogno my. Tho first place thnt his friends would have escorted him would havo been to tho tiiiiHoi'inl parlors of A. J. Daniels, No. 221 Commercial street. Ho would havo found a splendid chair, clean tow els, sharp razors and a good barber. Tho hitter knows just how to givo tho proper touch, and tho word "ouch" is nover heard around tho place Ho can trim up tho most fastidious dudo ns well as tho frowsiest old-timer.

Tins statement was mado by Sonator John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, who passed through Spokane on his way to Washington tonight. "J never saw Putcr In my life," said Senator Mitchell, "until ho called on mo in Washington with n letter of in troduction from F. P. Mays, a friend of mine in Poitlnnd. In helping him be fore tho land office, I did whnt I havo dono for a thousand other citizens of Oregon. Ho told nic that ho had been employed by Mrs. Watson, as I recall it now, to look into her matters for her. XoVer in tho slightest dogreo was tlio matter of compensation mentioned between Putcr and myself." Senator Mitchell then gave out the following interview to tho Oregoninn to theso land entries. They passed tho correspondent : ' approval of tho local land ofllce. Thoy "I am as innocent ns a babo unborn md been under tho careful scrutiny of of nny complicity in nny land frauds in tho assistant commissioner, wlmso tes Oregon or elsewhere, nnd if it is true timnny in tho late trials in this city thnt an indictment has been returned was to tho effect that he had found tho against me, I assert in tho most posi- ovidonco satisfactory.

On my arriv al in Portland I mndo a similar request of tho foreman of tho grnnd jury. :' I was told by Mr. Honey that I could go beforo tho grand jury. On my nppearanco there I wns told by Honey ,petrated upon mo as commissioner as that no evidence had boon submitted to upon others in tho office, the jury against me. 1 then said tlmtl "In view of these conditions, I :m if there was no charge against me to ninnzod at tho action of the grand jury answer, 1 was still ready and willing to 'and realize my disadvantage in not subniit to an examination.

"Having boon assured thnt no such ovidonco, up to that date, had been submitted, f then remained in Portland for four days after that, and, receiving no word, either from Honey or tho grand jury, tho latter being in session all tho time, I left Portland hist oven lug for my post of duty in Washing ton.
