AS the result of several cases of 1T
tempted lot jumping at Nome city and
an attendant shooting scrape which &C.
CURED in the latter part of May the
Chamber Of Commerce of the northern
mining camp determined that stringent
measures were necessary. At meeting
OF the Nome commercial organization,
held May 81. the situation was thoroughly
discussed and it was finally decided that
for the protection of life and property
the government of the camp should be
placed in the hands OF one man and the
man unanimously chosen for the respon-
sible position was United States Commits
sioner Rawson.
Correspondence and newspapers from
Nome Indicate that the matter was
brought to issue by Mr.. Rawson himself
but IL is also shown that his attitude was
from the first supported by suhstanti II

and at last given unanimous indorse-

protect property rights. II had not the
strength, nor confidence, to enable il to
carry out the purposes for which II was
intended. IL was absolutely necessary,
he said. that some means be taken for
the protection of property and the preser-

two propositions. and SAID he was going

delay.

Mansfield, has wonderful following IL

country. The f'tithes" have been pour
ed out to him pro digiously. He is sleel

Here are a few samples of "Dowie-
ism," the leading questions propounded
by the General Overseer," (Dowie) and
the replies of his congregation. They
are culled from the pages of Leaves
of Healing"
General Overseer-In fact, the news
papers, both secular and religious, are
as false as the devil who inspires them.
The verdict was reversed by Zion the
moment it was delivered, was it not?
Voices-"Yes."
Surely Zion will not believe one word
which Zion's enemies shall say about
me while I am away?
Voices-"No."
General Overseer-Surely Zion will
take nothing against me on the testi-
mony of a newspaper?
Voices-"No."
General Overseer-If any one does,
would like his resignation. daughter }
But you are not Of that material. The
fact is, you are peculiar people, that
is, a people for Gods own possess
sion."
/ love you, but I want to say this to
you: You will have to beware. There
is no doubt that this vile, vindictive
Masonic press will lie about me while
am away as 1t is doing while / am
here, and little more SO. in the hope
that while l am gone they may do some
damage to Zion. But If there should
be any real danger Of damage to Zion,
as the little boys story book would
say: I would put on my seven-league
boots and would leap back across the
Atlantic. Naughter.)
When / come back again from my
journey, I will see what you have done
with the talents. If any Of you has not
increased his one talent, will let him
30 into outer darkness where the
Methodists are. daughter. Applause.)
General Overseer-I was looking at a
woman just now who said II will not
do it. I will not do it, If DR.. Dowie
does tell me. I would rather cut my
throat first" Gaughter.)
She did not cut her throat and she did
do 1t. Uaughter.)
There are many of you here who did
1t, bacause you knew / had power to
make you.
