Elijah III SAYS HE IS BEING PERSECUTED AS CHRIST WAS FEELS SORRY FOR WIFE AND SON GLADSTONE. Publishers' Press! Chcago, III., April 29. Clad In his costly robes, Dowie held two meetings In Zlon City at Shiloh tabernacle today one at G:C0 in tho morning nd one this afternoon. At the morning meeting there were about two hundred of his loyalists present. At the afternoon services there were nearly a thousand present, mostly of whom, however, were curiosity seekers. Followers of Vollva who were present, put personal questions to Dowie, but many of them were sorry that they did so, for their former leader singled them out and answered their interrogations. One man, braver than some of the rest, asked Dowie to give him back his property. To this Howie qulck'y replied, "Como and see me tomorrow morning. I will give you back your mortgage for the same price that I sold it to you, you dog. We don't want dogs like you in Zion City." Calls Voliva Judas. He took the betrayal and crucifixion as his subject, picturing himself as Jesus Christ and Volivia as his betrayer. He said: "I have suffered much to get the victory. I will have to suffer more. My wife and son have been used against me and then cast aside. I thought my heart would break down in Mexico when I had to defend myself against my wife and son. I know that my boy Gladstone has been ' guilty of some grave charges, but he has asked me for forgiveness. There Is Borrow in his heart. There is good in both of them. God bless them." At -the afternoon meeting Mrs. Dowie was present, sitting in the front row. She was not at the morning service. At the morning meeting, Gladstone opened the door of his father's carriage and at the afternoon ser-

Publishers' Press Washington, April 29. The leading patent attorneys of the county will ask President Roosevelt to improve the methods of the patent office so their clients may be adequately protected. There are now 20,846 cases on hand and the office is falling behind at the rate of 3,000 cases a year. This is attributed to defective business methods, red tape and old time usages. In 1901 there were 8,510 cases that did not receive attention. In 1902 the number had Increased to 10,591, in 1903 to 11,000; in 1904 to 12,141; in 1903 to 16,026 and now the number is 20,846.

MIGRATION DOES HOT PAYIndiana Representative in Congress Says the Americans Move Too Much. TELLS OF FARMER FRIEND MAN LIVES IN WEST VIRGINIA AND DOES'NT DO ANYTHING BUT RAISE APPLES OTHER WASHINGTON NEWS. (By A. W. Tracy.) Washington, D. C. April 29 Representative Charles B. Landis says that the American people are given too much to migration from one end of the country to the other seeking some way to make money rapidly and often overlook the good things at home. He says that good money can be made at home if the people 'will but settle down to one thing and pursue that everlastingly. He says that we don't study the things we' have around us enough and holds that the specialist is the , fellow who gets there. He holds to the theory that people should study and cultivate at home any one line that they may choose. To clinch his point he cites the case of a farmer friend of his in West Virginia. The man has 28 acres of land and probably could not make a living on it any other way than the way he has chosen. He has an apple farm and he doesn't pretend to do anything else but raise apples. The man studies the business thoroughly He cultivates the crop by spraying his trees and taking the very best of care of them. Then he tends to his crop at the proper time. Mr. Landis asserts it as a positive fact that last year that apple farm of 38 acres yielded the owner $16,000. He raised 7,000 barrels of apples ana sold them for $2.40 a barrel. The barrels were furnished by the buyers who came to the farm and helped to pack them. The owner was to deliver them to the railroad station and he succeeded in getting that done at the rate of six cents a barrel. Mr. Landis asserts that on another year the owner realized $14,000 from his apples. Where else or how in the world can that record be beaten for 28 acres of land. Mr. Landis says that he doesn't believe It can be equalled In Colorado or California. Representative Newton W. Gilbert has had some peculiar experiences with bis postoffice appointments up in the twelfth district. The latest thing to happen was the death of a man whom he had recommended for the office at Lagrange. The fellow died before getting the office. This seems strange following so closely the unfortunate circumstances at Kendalville. where the first appointee failed rapidly in health after receiving the appointment and had to be taken away to a sanitarium. An inspector was sent there and on his order the unfortunate postmaster was removed by the department on account of physical incompetency. Vice President Fairbanks is in receipts of an invitation to attend the comjng state encampment of the Indiana G. A. R .at Lafayette on May 22-24. Mr. Fairbanks thinks the Senate will remain in session, that long and has felt compelled to decline the invitation.

SERMONS ON THE DISASTER

CONSTERNATION WAS CREATED WHEN IT WAS LEARNED GOVERNMENT COULD NOT PAY $2,5C0,00O. Publishers Press San Francisco, April 29. Golden Gate park was turned into a mammoth church today and all the congregations of the city, both Protestant and Catholic praised God, many of the ministers laying particular stress on the goodness of the Divine Ruler in that the death list was so low. All the sermons dwelt on the disaster. There were several union meetings but in general the churches held their own services. All were held in the open air, the beauty of the day filling the people with hope for the future of Greater San Francisco. Consternation and dismay prevailed in the meeting of the committee of fifty who are advising Mayor Schmitz Saturday when it was announced that of the $2,500,000 so generously appropriated by the national government for the relief of San Francisco only $300,000 was available. James D. Phelan, chairman of the finance committee of the citizens' relief and Red Cross funds, made the announcement, and he created a profound sensation. Mr. Phelan said that he had been given to understand by Victor H. Metcalf, the representative of President Roosevelt, that $300,000 represented the extent of financial assistance that might be expected of the "government. The members of the committee were unable to understand how this prop, on which all confidently leaned, shoud so suddenly be taken from them, and the speaker was deluged with questions. Mr. Phelan continued by saying that Secretary of War Taft had transmitted to his order $300,000. This, he said, was the first recognition the Secretary had given to the relief work. The astounding statement was then made by the speaker that he had learned from Mr. "Metcalf that the Secretary of War had expended the remainder of the funds for, supplies in the East. A perfect silence held the room when Mr. Metcalf arose and corroborated this statement. Only Half Million Available. Mr. Phelan then tersely said that but $518,000 was available to his order in the mint and that the strictest economy would be necessary. "We need money," Mr. Phelan concluded, "and the country should not be led to believe that millions are on hand to relieve our destitute people." Both Mr. Metcalf and Mr. Devine concurred with Mr. Phelan and both offered to apprise Washington of the condition. No member of the committee had the slightest idea that any of the appropriation had been spent elsewhere and all plans made here had included the entire sum appropriated by Congress. "Why anybody in the East should spend the money on supplies or anything else when it is so badly needed here is something I cannot understand," said a member of the committee after the meeting. "That $2,200,000 which congress intended to go to relieve the sufferers of these homeless people should have been spent by people 2,000 miles from here, who do not know the conditions or needs, and without even notifying us that the money was not coming here, is astounding. This Is the severest shock this committee has had since its organization." TRACTIONS' BANNER DAY People Took Advantage of the Fine Weather Yesterday and Rode to All Points. Yesterday was banner day for the electric lines, both interurban and city, and thousands of fares were collected. Extra cars were run and every one was well filled. The parks, ball game, cemetery. Country . Club, as well as many small towns and cities along the line of the interurban railroads all drew many persons and for this early in the year, the business was excellent. At the Glen, hundreds of people viewed the new foliage with which spring has deceked the trees and drank once more from the famous Glen Miller springs. Hundreds more went to Earlham cemmetery, which has been carefully gone over since the close of winter and was looking at its best. WEATHER INDICATIONS.

TO SET A Leaders in Congress Mapping Out Program for Reasonable Adjournment. CANNON TALKS OF JULY 1 LOWER HOUSE IS IN FAIR WAY TO ADJOURN SOON, BUT SENATE IS DRAGGING ALONG V&RY SLOWLY. Publishers' Press Washington .April 29. The leaders in congress are attempting to map out a program that will promise a reasonable adjournment of the' session. Speaker Cannon talks of July first Mr. Allison ,in the senate, expressad the hope that he may be able to lay aside the official duties by August. Thse informal predictions are recognized as being exaggerated with the object of pushing th3 ' consideration of business. The House of Representatives could, under pressure, and without any unlooked-for contingency of delay, conclude its business in a month, if the Senate had its books clear. But affairs in the upper branch are far from promising. Two only of the twelve great supply bills have been passed. The naval ,anny, postoffice and agricutlural bills w ill cause great debate. Then, there are the Smoot case and the railroad rate fight There is no telling when a vote will be taken upon the latter. ,

Rational Itqautmariet'e Vint Pqtarjinrif, asljinojott Some predict May 15. They believe the coming week may see an agreement reached. Naturally, as the session lengthens the chance of a vote becomes more promising, but these same leaders admit that they believe an agreement was to have been reached a week ago. Mr. Tillman, in charge of 'the railway rate bill, has announced his determination to press its consideration to the exclusion of all other bills, beginning tomorrow. This "s the second declaration of similar import. This may prove more successful, however. The most encouraging sign is the advent of warm weather. Senators are chafing. If Old Sol continues as he has begun, congress may get away by the middle of June. The House will consider appropriations bills the coming week. CAT THAT LIVES WITH CHICKENS. Arthur Bennett, living on North Seventeenth streat ,has a cat with an unusual fondness for chickens. In fact the liking, which this particular "nine-lifer" has for the feathered fowls is so pronounced that it lives' with them constantly, or at least has done so for the past year. Mr. Bennett also has four hens and they are never without the cat's company, except when it goes foraging for something to eat refusing to take that -which is given to the chickens. The cat sleeps in the hen roost Mr. Bennett has never taken the particular pains to see whether it rocsts as its companions do, but he has frequently seen it leaving the hen house with the chickens in the morning and entering with them in the evening.
