VOLIVA, ZION LEADER, LANGUISHES IN JAIL.

Bowie’s Successor Falls To Pay Libel Judgment and Is Sentenced For Six Months. I Wilbur Glenn Voliva, whose brother was at ‘one time a Baptist pastor in this city, and who succeeded to the leadership of Zion City shortly before the death of Alexander Dowie, is nowconfined in the McHenry county, 111., jail, at Woodstock, where he will have to remain for six months unless a judgment for SIO,OOO in favor of Philip Motherill is paid. Motherill was formerly a resident of Zion City, but opposed Voliva, who slandered Motherill in a public address made to the Zion City congregation. Suit was brought by Motherill for damages and he was given a judgment for $14,000, and Voliva was granted a new trial and a change of venue from Lake to McHenry county. Here a judgment of $20,000 was given, but the court subsequently reduced the judgment to SIO,OOO. Voliva claims that he is a martyr to his religion and says that he will serve the entire six months in jail. After the judgment was rendered Voliva listed his personal property as consisting of “one writing desk, wearing apparel, one set of religious books and 83 cents in cash.” Motherill will "have to pay Voliva’s board while he is in jail and he will have first-class meals. He will occupy the same cell that Eugene V. Debs occupied for violation of the injunction during the big A. R. U. strike in Chicago in 1894. An alleged horse thief and an alleged keeper of a dive will be his jail companions. Voliva has been embroiled in many difficulties in Zion City since his leadership and the city founded by Dowie is crumbling away, and the great industries started are practically all wrecked. Voliva seems to have been a good man himself, but unable to pacify the many factional and fanatical people with whom he had to deal, while the discovery of Dowie’s wicked life disgusted many of the former faithful Toirbwers; 7“

“Follow the Wise Few Bather Than the Foolish Many.”

A very small percentage of humanity know the need to care for real' teeth until some friend or other source suggests advice that is accepted and" acted upon. It only requires a little effort to be one of these few, and you will have a possession that many would give a fortune to own. The first step to follow these few T is a careful examination of your teeth. What should be done and what should not be done, is a matter of importance that a dentist with long experience can best decide. What my patients tell their neighbors. brings people to my office to ask for an examination. You will be glad to know what I will tell you about your teeth. J. W. HORTON, Opposite Court House.

Flood at Monterey, Mexico, Results In Many Deaths.

The overflow of the Santa Catalina river, at Monterey, Mexico, has caused something like 1,500 deaths, made some 15,000 homeless, and caused the destruction of $30,000,000 worth of property. Over 800 bodies have been picked up and buried along the river banks, the water is subsiding and much assistance is being rushed to the scene of the terrible disaster, American aid being especially liberal. Clifford Crowell and wife, formerly of Lafayette, he being a 1898 Purdue graduate, are residents of Mohterey, and failing to hear from them after the flood, Miss Lou Smith, a sister of Mrs. Crowell, of Lafayette, left Monday for Monterey, fearing the Crowells had lost their lives.

Hundred Thousand Orphans Wanting Homes In United States.

Recently there was held at Washington a conference for the purpose of considering the dependent children of the United States. It was found, upon the roll-call of the states of the nation, that there were 100,000 orphan children in the various orphanages of this country waiting to be adopted into good homes, One hundred thousand dependent orphans. Greater in number than the hosts of Sherman on bis historical march from Atlanta to the sea. The Washington conference was re- 1 markable. Its membership included men and women, black and white, Catholic, Protestant and Jew, the most experienced workers and the most thoughtful students. All these came together upon a common ground and agreed-upon a set of conclusions and a standard of action. There could not be more convincing evidence that the appeal of the helpless, homeless, neglected child is universal. In this conference Indiana had a creditable part. In commenting upon it and upon the great work that is being done in the state to save children, Governor Marshall said: “As a member and president of the Board of State Charities, it is a pleasure to say that the program outlined in this conference is largely in actual operation in this state. The work of many of our children’s organizations and institutions is useful and well done. “That of the Board of State Charities in supervising these organizations and in finding homes in families for children who are dependent upon the public, is of great value, both to the children and to the taxpayer. I have had brought to my attention the cause of many unfortunate children needing care and have gone over many reports of our agents who have visited children placed in families, The need is great and the service rendered is valuable. Las D-year our orphans’ homes cared for a total of 2,729 children, 1,582 of whom were in the institutions at the beginning of the year and 1,147 received afterwards. Homes in families were found for 659 of these children. The Board’s agents placed 200 last year. At the Board meeting this week, reports of visits to about 400 children in family homes, placed by various agencies, showed 360, or 90 per cent., to be doing well or fairly well. “We believe there is a child for every proper childless home. We believe there is a good home for every normal child. We believe there are many vacant homes. To such we say, let us help you to find a child and at the same time help a little child to find a home. The Board will be pleased to have the co-operation of all our people in its efforts to provide homes for these children. A letter addressed to the Board of State Charities, Indianapolis, will receive immediate attention.”
