Peabody, an attorney from Boston, who was engaged in the litigation against Mrs. Eddy, head of the Christian Selence church, lectured Saturday to an audience which filled the auditorium of the First Baptist church. He announced his subject as “Christian Science Exposed™ and the lecture all through was a bitter attack on Mrs. Bddy, her followers and the Christian Sclence church In general. Mr. Peabody said he had traveled from Boston to San Diego, up the coast to Spokane, and Is now traveling back across the continent giving lectures against Chris- tlan Sclence in every eity In which he stops. From here he will go to St. Joseph and from there to Kansas City, speaking in both cities, 4 There has been considerable oriticism over the action of the Ministrial assocla- tion Inviting Mr. Peabody to come here and lecture against a church which includos among Its smembership In Council Bluffs many of the most prominent citizens, both men and women. The board of the First Baptist church has also been criticised for offering the use of its bullding to hold the lecture In. “What would the people of this city have sald If we had Imported a lecturer to attack In the same bitter language that Mr. Peabody used last night any one of the other church denominations?’ asked a leading member of the Firet Chureh of Christ, Sclentist, of this city, last night while discussing the propriety of the Ministerial assoclation in inviting Mr. Pea- body to Counctl Blutfs. MAYOR MALONEY WILL ACT He Intends to Push Indian Creek P Four new petitions requesting the ecity council to take the preliminary steps in the proposition to divert Indian creek at the northern limits of the city were placed In circulation Saturday by members of the Fifth Ward Improvement club. The new petitions were readily signed and Mayor Maloney stated last evening that the required number of signatures would be obtained In time to present the new potitions at the meeting of the oity coun- cll mext Monday evening. “I Intend to go right ahead with this matter,” declared the mayor with con- siderable vigor of speech last evening. “I am not the In the least discouraged by the action of the special committee last Monday ae I was confident It would do 1ts level best to shelve the proposition. You can say from me, however, that this mat- ter will not be shelved and I intend to push it as far as the law will permit. I am fully convinced that diversion of the creek at the city Hmits is the only feasible so- lution of ‘the ficod problem." Taylor's The case of J. M. Taylor against the North American Accident Insurance com- pany and others has been continued by agreement to the January term. Tt had been assigned for trial on next Wodnesday) and was expected to be one of the big cases of the term. The continuance is due 1o the lliness of Clark Varnum of Chicago, associated with Flickinger Bros. of this city as attorneys for the plaintiff. The suit was brought to set aside & consolida- tion of the National Masonic Accident In- surance company of Des Molnes with the North American Accident Insurance com- pany of Chicago. Taylor sued on behalf of himself and othor members of the Des Moines company. He alleges that the sale of the assets of the Des Moines company was consummated by the officials of the company, and that it eould have been legally done only by the members them- selves.

SUE3 FOR DECREE Asks Ownership of Cigar Store in Council Bluffs. Mrs. Ida May Hansen filed in the dis- triét court Saturday afternoon, suit for di- voree from Myers Hansen, charging him with misconduct for over a year past with Addie Sage, alias Addle Ross, & young woman of this city. The young woman in the case obtained some notorlety In the early part of this vear by an alleged at- tempt to commit sulelde. In addition to the divorce Mrs. Hansen asks that her ownership of a olgar and tobacco business at 3 Pearl street be de- creed. Mrs, Hansen recites in her petition that she s sole owner of this business and that it wge purchased with her money. The business s the one formerly conducted by Mayor Thomas Maloney at the number named on Pearl street. The petition states further that Mrs, Hansen has discharged her husband as manager of the clgar business, and Judge Green lssued a temporary injunction re- straining the defendant from in any way Interfering with Mrs. Hansen's possession of the business and the homestead prop- erty at 32 Sherman avenue. The restrain- ing order is, however, subject to applica- tion by the defendant for an Indemnifying bond. Although the title to thelr home on Sher- man avenue is in her husband's name, Mrs, Hansen asks the court to decree it to her, as she alleges that her husband has wasted far more of her money In his alloged un- lawful liaron with the young woman named in the suit than the value of the property. Mr. and Mrs. Hansen werd married In Harlan, Ia., in September, 190, and prior to engaging in the cigar business the de- fendant was & well known traveling sales- man for one of the large agricultural im- plement houses of thils city. Mrs. Hansen a few years ago, on the death of her parents, fell heir to a considerable estate. Hansen has been seriously i1l for the last two weeks in the Edmundson hospital, but was removed to his home Thursday.

Gllbert against the First National bank of Council Bluffs,/In which Gllbert asks judg- ment for $7,000 by reason of transactions connected with the ice business which he formerly conducted. Glibert claims to have been required to pay usurious interest to the bank on money borrowed. The suit is one of two brought by Gilbert at the time, the other being against Ernest B. Hart for alleged siander, charged in connection with the same transactions. Both actions were noticed for trial at this term, but only the sult against the bank has been so fer assigned.

Before an audienco composed mostly of women, which taxed the capacity of the hall, Mre. Pankhurst, following an address of two hours on “Why Women Want to Vote” submitted to a rapid-fire of fnter- | ruptions by n.en and women on various | phases of the suffrage “caus | “Do you think that an American woman | will ever be president?’ asked a woman in | the audlence. “That is the most extraordinary question | I have ever had put to me, replled Mrs, Pankhurst, who paused for some time be- | tore answering. “That 1s a question,” said | “which you American women will have | to declde for yourselves.' | As a prelude to her remarks, Mrs, Pank- | hurst stated.that she came here to bring a | message of encouragement from English | women, whom she sald are trying to win | thelr political emancipation. Mrs. Pank- | hurst traced the history of the suffrage movement in her owh couniry, declaring | that American women would have to admit whatever they thought of the campaign of their sisters In England, that they had suc- | ceeded in pressing this question to the very forefront of British politics, “We who are responsible, eaid Mrs. | Pankhurst, “are just as much in earnest about our political freedom as were your forefathers when you fought your revolu- tion. It is & civil war that we are carry- ing on_with feminine weapons. We cannot fight with guns, but we can by intolerable notse.” Mrs., Pankhurst made reference to some of the demonstrations of the suffragettes on the house of commons. She told her sudience that they, too, would have to adopt similar measures to win their fight. Forbes Will Succeed Smith Vice Governor General of Philippines Becomes Governor General Wext Week.
