The reason Of its success?
The reason lies in the weakness of hu-

to miracles; in the necessity which some

thirst for persecution: in their longing

their religion.
It is a phase in the great religious re-

DOWIB AND HIS ZION
Pen Pictures of the Man Who Styles Himself Elijah and
Numbers His Followers by Thousands.

I heard John Alexander Dowie, head of
the sect of DowieItes, speak to the chos-
en- of his flock the other night in Chi
cage, his only appearance in public since
his declaration that in him Elijah, the
prophet, is reincarnated, says Miriam
Nicholson in the Philadelphia Press.
A thick-set, well-groomed, vigorous
man 50 or co years old is Dowie, with a
snow-white full beard, and very black
hair fringing his bald head, with one cum
ming eye and one kindly one, with a
good, strong, resonant, authoritative
voice and a disposition to boast that he
has been working twenty-siX hours at a
stretch, for superhuman strength S part
Of his pose as more than human crca-
ture.

stage is more in the center than the back
of the house, the seats sloping up from
it behind, well as on three sides-the
unofficial Dowieites sit. An army of the
unfit it is that Dowie has gathered about
him. This one is cripple, that one with
a withered hand; a woman here the pupil
of whose eye is dimmed by a cataract;
one beyond painting with the cold fever of
consumption.
And yet, with such material as this, the
genius of Dowie has in the thirteen years
since he began to preach a new religion
changed his position from that of a
penniless outcast in an Australian town
to all that he is today:
President Of bank
Owner of $5,0O0.6CO worth of property.

THE NEW FACTORY.

Letters have been received by Mr..
w. p. Hetherington saying that
Messrs. NJ. NJ. and A. N. Bedding ex-
pect to arrive in this city in few days
for the special purpose of settling up
on site for the new factory they pro-
pose to build, letting the contract for
the construction OF the same and get
ting it under full Roadway. There
are a few In BAlding to whom this will
be perhaps disappointment as accord
ing to their talk they had hopes at
least that it would not be built. But
the great majority OF our citizens we
are glad to say will be rejoiced thereat
and extend hearty greeting. 1t is
quite an open secret at this time that
this factory is to be weaving mill
and the part to be putep now will be
200 feet in length, being so planned
and arranged that al additional 200
feet may be added at some future date.
Bedding is going to experience boom
this summer.

LIFE is WHAT WE MAKE 1T.

"Our lives are what we make of them
ourselves, writes Edward Box. in the
April Ladies Home Journal. "If we
are weak and accept the artificial our
lives will be so. And just in proper
tion as we make our lives artificial we
make them protitless and unhappy. A
happy life cannot be lived in an atmos-
phere surcharged with artificialty.
That is impossible. No hope is defeat
ed unless we defeat that hope our
selves. No life is thwarted unless we
thwart its highest fulfllment and de-
velopment by our own actions. 1t is
with us, and with us only, whether we
allow the swift currents OF prevailing
customs to make our lives complex.
They do, unquestionably, and they are
dwarfing the inner lives of thousands
OF women, and killing thousands of
others. But it is cowardly and unjust
to lay the blame and the responsibility
upon those customs. 1t is optional
with us to accept or reject them. There
are certain social laws which seem to
make these customs right, but every
phase Of a higher law, the divine law,
proves them wrong. There must be
certain laws and customs for the pro.
lection OF the social body. These are
likewise for our own individual protec-
ti0n and are RIGHT and ordinary 49,.
mon sense teaches us what these are.

send him happy along the way, was

evening, given in honor of Gus Sun, a

previous. Before the jollity COM
menced banquet was served, at the
conclusion OF which, the party adj
journed to the lodge room and was en-
tertained by music, song and story
from the sons of minstrelsy and local

modest, charming manner, and did
much to add to the ease and enjoy
ment Of the guests.

THE STATE TICKET.

The Republicans of Michigan pre-
sent to the electors OF the state this
spring ticket that for genuine worth
and merit has never been surpassed In
the history of the state. Every candi-
date upon it has proved his capacity
for the work that will devolve upon
him by reason OF his election by the
people, and it is with the utmost conf
dence that the party bespeaks for the
ticket the enthusiastic support OF all
Republicans, and commends 1t to the
people OF the state generally as worthy
of their ballots.
Chlel Justice Robert M. Montgom-
cry, whose name adorns the head OF
the ticket, has amply proved that a
wise selection was made when he was
first nominated for justice of tho SUI
preme court ten years age. At that
time he enjoyed an enviable record as
careful practitioner and painstak
ing circuit Judge, and to this has now
been added a most satisfactory service
of decade upon the bench OF the high
est tribunal of the state.
The career of Justice Montgomery is
one of which both he, his party and
his state may well be proud. A self
made man in the best sense OF the
term, he has steadily advanced until
today be occupies an acknowledged po'
sition among the foremost jurists oil
the country.
Judge Montgomery is the youngest
OF the present judges OF the supreme
court of Michigan, having been born in
this state in 1S49. He is noted for his
energy industry and capacity for hard
work. He is now in the very prime of
life aud grounded in habits of study
which have already given him most
enviable reputation as a jurist With
this record behind him, there can be
no doubt that his reelection will in
sure for the Michigan tribunal con
tinuance of that name which has made
it famous In the judicial annals of the
world
Associated with Judge Montgomery
on the Republican state ticket are two
gentlemen whose fitness for the offices
they seek is unquestioned. Mr.. Frank
w. Fletcher, of Alpena, has given
much valuable time during the past
six years to the upbuilding OF the
Michigan university, and his large ex
perience in business has been of great
value to that institution. The other
nominee for regent, Mr.. Henry w.
Carey, of Manistee, has also had ex'
tended experience in large affairs o.
business and possesses qualifications
that are needed in the management o.

full (no insinuation meant) city and
ward tickets in the field for the city
election next Monday. They acknow-
ledge that they hardly expect TO elect
any of their candidates, but they pro-
pose to find out how many voters there
are In this city who are willing to
stand up and be counted as believers
in that principle. Their nominees are
as follows:

The caucuses have been held and the
tickets nominated, now MIR. Voter it
is up to you. The Repu blican ticket
is headed by Willard G. Spicer for
Mayor, man who needs no introduce
tion or commentator at our hands to
the voters of this city. In his earlier
years he was engaged in farming and
stock buying, residing on his farm a
few miles west of the city but for quite
a number of years he has been a resi-
dent of the city, owning pleasant
home on Washington st. He is in the
prime of life, is certainly qualified and
capable of making a good mayor for
the city. Alvah w. Pringle, the NOM
inee for clerk is young man who has
been employed in the BANNER Office
for seven years past with the exception
of part of one year. Faithful and
conscientious in the performance OF
his duties, he will make an excellent
clerk for the city, John r. Travis for
treasurer,is an employee OF the basket
factory and is true representative OF
that class which forms quite large
share of our population. A young
man of correct habits and well quail
flied for the place. Geo. W. Moulton
for justice, and K. K. Chapple for
school inspector, both we'll known and
well qualified. On the ward tickets
the three candidates for supervisors
w. M. Foote, J. 7. Angel and w. A.
Wilder have the experience and can
not be bettered. The candidates for
aldermen are E. E. Hudson, first ward
Geo. Putnam, second ward, John Coles,
third ward, all residents here for some
time and have the best interests OF the
oity at heart. Good men are also
named for the minor places, and TAX
ing it all in all it is ticket which
should be satisfactory and will be
elected.
