SCHLAFTER in ILLINOIS
The Divine Healer Turns Up in
Springfield.
He Claims to Have Been buried
Forty Days i'm New Mexican Des-
Twentieth Century Predictions.
Downfall of England Prophesied.

SPRINGFIELD, H.. March 2l.-Schlat-
ter, the alleged divine healer, who disap-
peared from Denver, and whose bones
L was claimed were afterward found in
a New Mexican desert is in Springfield
with all sorts of predictions TO hand out
about the twentieth century.
He does not go into details about ms
whereabouts and career since his disap-
pearance from Denver, but claims he was
buried forty days in New Mexican des-
ert. He will not tell where he was inter-
red, his reason being that the spot would
become a shrine whittier people would
resort to worship.
During his burial he says he had
glimpses of heaven and hell. The former,
he says. is of a spiritual nature. where
souls fit from place to place with the
quickness of thought and communicate
with each other by heavenly telepathy.
He'll. according to his vision, Is simply a
place of darkness and stagnation, no
birthstone or fire, and no suffering except
mental anguish.
He predicts that the Boer war, however
ii may result for the present beiligerents,
will bring about the downfall Of England
ana the development OF the Nofld INTO
two great powers. These powers will be
Russia and the United States, and all the
rest of the world will be under their do
minion.
"All signs are ripe for the second COM
ing of Christ, said the alleged healer.
The gospel has been preached in every
corner of the world except Tibet, and the
missionaries are about TO start for that
country. Wars and rumors OF war prevail
and will prevail for the next few years.
Il do not claim to be able TO say just
when Christ will come. but his appear
ance will be within the first decade of the
twentieth century, between the years 1901
and 1910. After the second coming peace
and harmony will reign on earth for
period Of a thousand years"

IN COURT
after 5
YEARS.
The Browns, Refused Divorce
in 1892, Once More Seek
Severance Of Ties.

Frederick T.. Brown and Emily w.
Brown who were both refused divorces
about eight years ago by the appellate d.
vision OF the supreme court. were again
before the same court today
Mr. Brown was the petitioner, and he
wanted divorce on the ground of deser-
tion.
When. i'm 1892 Mr.. and Mrs. Brown went
before the court, they charged each other
with extreme cruelty. The court decided
that neither party proved a case.
Just after the court decided matters,
Mr.. Brown, whose home is in East ProYi-
dence, and Mrs. Brown, whose parents
reside i'm Connecticut met at the CITY
Hall i'm this city TO arrange for the fu-
ture.
Mr. Brown at the hearing before Judge
Tillinghast today. said he told MS wite
at this conference that she had better go
TO her fathers and get her own ana
childs clothing, and tnen write when she
would rejoin him and live as II nothing
had happened
Mr. Brown claimed he always had a
home ready for his wife and child, but ms
wife refused his offer.
On cross examination Brown admitted
he did not see his wife from lsS2 10 1886.
This was due TO her refusal 10 take ad-
vantage OF his offer 10 return TO him just
after the court had refused the divorces
The only money he had given his wife
for her own support or that OF ner child
since 1892 was $500, and that was paid In
order 10 get Mrs. Brown TO release dover
In some land sold.
Explaining his neglect I'm the matter of
support, Mr. Brown said he did not want
to acknowledge her right TO desert him.
Once his wife came with his child to his
door and he refused them admittance.
This was because he had been informed
Mrs. Brown was coming on visit for the
sole object OF making trouble
Mrs. Brown said she never deserted her
husband and was always willing TO live
with him.
She cited as an instance OF lovers
perjuries that her husband promised when
he proposed 90 her TO quit tobacco chew
ing If she married him. She said she no.
ticed he chewed tobacco very hercely af-
ter marriage.
IT waS denied by Mrs. Brown on cross
eXamina tion that she made IL prerequi-
site TO return TO her husband after le-
gal adjudication on their troubles in 1892.
that her husband should sign an agree
ment never TO chew tobacco again.
She was equally sure she did not want
her husband to agree I'm writing to have
his relatives recognize her.

was willing 10 pay $40 month TO the
support OF his child until it reached Il
