ZION CITY IS DOOMED

As the Seat of Dowieism It Is Practically One of tho Has Beens. JUDGE LANDIS DOES THE TRICK Will Have the People Elect an 'Over-seer"--Comments of Deacon Lewis--Will the RestorAppeal? Chicago, July 28.--The decision of Judge Landis in the Zion City (Dowie) case is a distinct victory for Voliva and the "insurgents." It destroys, so far as it can, the theocratical constiof the church, and makes Dowie simply a leader, and not the whole thing, practically, which is not a very great exaggeration of his claims. John C. Hately as receiver will rule the industries of the town. In a scene of tremendous, tense excitement Judge Landis denounced many of the followof John Alexander Dowie in the Christian Catholic church as traitors to their country. There ensued a disand the cries of women in the court room. Judge Landis sternly ordered quiet and threatened to clear the room. Ruin to the Church Predicted. Prediction that Judge Landis' action will bring ruin to the church founded by Dowie followed the court finale of the bitter fight between the Voliva and Dowie factions. Judge Landis ordered an election of a general overseer of the church to be held in Zion City on TuesSept. 18. This election is almost sure to go in favor of Voliva and he is elated to the seventh heaven. Dowie declines to comment on the decision, but the belief is general that he will appeal. Faith Before Everything. The denunciation of Dowieites as traitors was caused by a clause in a pledge required in joining the "RestorHost," which pledge declares that "all family ties and obligations and all relations to all human governments shall be held subordinate to this vow." The vow is a profession of faith in Dowie as general overseer, the prophet and Elijah the restorer. Voliva came in for denunciation, too, but he can stand it, as he has a cinch on tho vote to be taken. What the Judge Decided. According to Judge Landis: Dowie is not the owner of Zion City. He has been acting as trustee for the members of his church. Dowie has recognized existence of this trust relation. Voliva and Alexander Granger well knew that they were violating the trust Dowie had reposed in them when they used his power of attorney to dispossess him. The Volivans had no right to exDowie or any of his followers. DEACON DIFFERS WITH JUDGE Says That the Landis Decision Is the Uprooting of the Sect. Zion City, Ill., July 28.--Deacon John A. Lewis, recognized spokesman of Dr. Dowie and who was chosen by him to manage the Paradise plantation of Mexico, the rock over which it is althe Dowie and Voliva partisans split, had the following to say of the decision: "If the decree of judge Lanstands the Chrislian Catholic Aposchurch of Zion is uprooted. The church is founded on the theory of a theocracy, and how then can an elecunder the laws of Cook county, Illiproclaim who shall be leader of the hosts? "I maintain that God Almighty alone can designate who shall be the First Apostle. I firmly believe that the Lord has designated John Alexander Dowie to lead the hosts to the paths of light. Therefore when a special election is called the whole fabric of the church is destroyed. If God designates the leader how can man choose him? As far as property rights are concerned they matter little to us; the great quesis that of spiritual control; upon that the very foundation of the church depends. I am sure Dr. Dowie will never be satisfied with the decision as rendered." Dowie himself said that inasmuch as he had not had an opportunity to read the whole decision he would not at this time express an opinion, or say what he should do. It was too serious a matfor the church to reach a concluwithout deliberation, and he would not be hasty. He refused to answer a question as to whether he would take an appeal, saying that he desired first to consult his counsel. "We want peace," he said, "but not with dishonor. I prefer that all statements should come from my counsel." These Poor Thugs Got Nothing. St. Paul, July 28.--The general store of J. M. Hickey at St. Paul park, in which is located the village postoffice, was entered by robbers, who in their attempt to blow the safe blew out the front of the building and had to leave without any loot. Eaten Up by the Locusts. London, July 28.--The correspondent at Vienna of The Daily Express states that locusts are devastating the neighof Debreczia, where crops on 60,000 acres already have been conTwo Lynched for Murder. Tampa, Fla., July 28.--John Black and Will Reagin, negroes, were lynched by a mob of 200 men near Fort GardPolk county. They had murdered a white man.

RED REVOLUTION OFF

Russian Deputies Cannot Agree on a Programme Against the Czar. "GROUP OF TOIL" IS READY Socialists Also Hanker for a Fight to the Death. Constitutional Democrats Inclined to Wait Developments--Result of a Secret Meeting. St. Petersburg, July 28.--The efforts of the revolutionary parties, except the rightists, in the late lower house of parliament which at the proper mowere to proclaim a provisional government have come to naught owto the opposition of the ConstituDemocrats, who apparently are afraid of compromising themselves, while one wing, headed by M. Naboushowed that it already had been won over to the side of the ministry against the programme of open revoluDeputies Meet in Seeret. In spite of the activity of the porepresentatives of four parties in the late house--the Constitutional Democrats, the Democratic Reformers, the Socialists and the Group of Toil, about fifty in number--succeeded in assembling in a private house where they deliberated on the proposal of the Socialists and Group of Toil to form a joint committee with power "when the situation Justified" an outbreak or a general strike or armed revolt, either to convoke the old parliament and asthe reins of government or proa constituent assembly. They Had a Hot Time. The Constitutional Democrats obto the plan and proposed inthe appointment of four commitwhich would work in co-operation but without formal union. Editor Hesfavored more radical steps, but M. Naboukoff defended Premier Stolypin and denied that the administration had as yet proven itself reactionary, urging that it should be given a chance to justify itself. M. Ramischwill, a Sodeputy from the Caucasus, in a rage denounced M. Naboukoff and his friends as traitors, who had sold the cause of liberty for office. He demandthe immediate severance of all relawith the Constitutional Demoparty. Others interposed and prevented an open rupture, but the meeting broke up without a decision. Further co-operation between the two factions is improbable. REVOLUTIONISTS TO CONFER Jewish Bund Is on the List--Work of the Police. Representatives of the two Polish socialistic organizations, the Lettish Socialists and the Jewish bund--or Zionistic Soocialists--have arrived here to participate in the revolutionary conferences. Manifestos to the nation, the army and navy and the Cossacks will be signed by these representatives, as well as by the regular Russian orThe printing establishment of the suppressed journal, The Echo, where thousands of copies of the Vimanifesto were being surreptiprinted, has been closed by the police. The Socialists, who were preto issue a revolutionary paper from the establishment, are now planto print it by force in one of the regular printing plants. The police searched the house of Professor Borodin, of the University of St. Petersburg, where meetings of the parliamentary Group of Toil were being held, and seized all the paof the committee. Finance Minister Kokovsoff has acthe figures of the revenues for the first live months of the year, $418,850,000, compared with $391,600,the corresponding time last year, with a statement declaring that Russian finances are more than satisfactory, and that the assertions of the revoluthat Russia is on the verge of bankruptcy are inventions, adding that "an organization which has been buildfor centuries is too strong for perof even the maddest energy to overturn." On account of the indignation which has been caused by the announcement of services of thanksgiving for the dissolution of parliament in various cities, the holy synod has issued an encyclical directing that the reading of the emperor's manifesto in the churches on Sunday shall not be acby such services. The bishof Poltava, however, celebrated a Te Deum over the dissolution. Forced to Print the Address. Yaroslav, July 28.--Twelve armed men entered a printing office here aftmidnight and compelled the comto set up and the printers to print 50,000 copies of the parliamentary address to the country, as well as a number of proclamations issued by the Socialists.

An Animal Story For Little Folks

The Three Wishes of The Little Fish Princess There was once upon a time a little fish princess, and her father, the king of the fishes, made a birthday party for her and invited three fish witches. When the feast was over the first of the three witches rose up and said. "The princess shall have scales like silver," and it was so. From that time on you could tell the little fish princess by her shining silver scales. Then the nest witch rose up and said, "The princess shall move swifter through water than a dart of light." And it was so. From that time the little princess beat everybody in the fish races. Now the third witch was just rising up to give her gift when the king of SHE TRAILED SOMETHING WHITE IN THE WATER." the fishes said: "Hold! Let the little princess choose what she will have." And the little fish princess said: "Oh, my dear father, and my dear friends all, I have seen the most beautiful litcreature in the world going over the top of the water in a boat, and she was called a little girl. When the litgirl went above me she trailed something white in the water, and it was called a hand. Oh, my dear father and kind friends, what I want is a pair of hands!" The poor old fish witch had been standing on her tail all this time with her mouth wide open. Now she sat down kerflop, for fishes at that time had not so much as a fin, and she deof ever making hands for the little fish princess. But after awhile, when the little princess seemed so much in earnest about it, she tried very hard. But she never could make the princess anything but fins, such aa all fishes now have.--Worcester Post. WAS A RECORD SIX MONTHS First Half of 1906 the Most ProsperPeriod of the Nation's History.
