SAYS HE is ELIJAH
Tells a Chicago Audience He Has
Come to Preach Theooracy.
Declares He VIII Never Rest Untti All
Other Forms of Government Have
Been Driven From the Earth,

C~hicago.-"I am Elijah, the prophet,
who appeared first as Elijah himself,
second as John the Baptist, and who
now IN in me, the restorer of all
things. Elijah was a prophet, John
was a preacher, but l combine in my
self the attributes of prophet, priest
and ruler over men. Gaze on me, then;
| say 1t fearlessly. Make the most of
1t, you wretches in ecclesiastical garb.
l am he that is the living physical and
spiritual embodiment of Elijah, and
my commission to earth a third time
has been prophesied by Malachi, by
God Himself, by His Son Jesus, by
Peter and 5000 years ago by Moses.
All who believe me to be in very truth
all Of this will stand up"
And V 5000 people rose to their
feet and greeted the declaration with
cheers and handclapping.
John Alexander Dowie, true TO his
promises, made this statement from
the platform of the Auditorium in the
presence of 5000 people. 1t was the
elimination of a frenzied speech, in
which he denounced everybody and
everything not In Zion. cursed the
Pope and the Roman Catholic Church,
spat literally at Masonry, the news
papers and the bankers of Chicago,
and ragged and tore up and down the
stage like u mad man.
Understand well what l mean" he
continued. Il will take no counsel in
my methods of government. L have
come to proclaim t%heocracy, pure and
simple, the government of God, by
God, and for God, and 1 will never rest
till all other forms of government have
been driven from the earth.
You talk about your Democracy.
Bah! l tell You Democracy has been
tried in the balance and has failed.
The government of the people, by the
people and for the people Is twaddle.
l stand loyal to the flag and counte-
nance no revolution, but l demand
here and now that the name of God
must be placed foremost in the Con
stitution of the United States and the
supreme authority of God over all
things must be recognized.
Listen to the first message of the
prophet" he demanded. You must
pay your tithes and offerings into the
%storehouse of God. Accused be We IL
sc would seek to rob His house of its
fullness by not obeying this, His will,
sent through Elijah"

If there is one Indian name among
the thousands in use in Maine which
has been misspelled more than another
it is that by which the village Of Wyto-
pitlock Is called. The name has been
cut In pieces, abridged, hacked down
and quartered, and although 1t is
spelled exactly as 1t is pronounced the
name has come to be a terror for pco-
pie not prof tent in Indian lore.
The postmaster there has been inter
estcd to notice the different ways of
spelling, and although the amount Of
mail received there is not great he has
already made q formidable collection.
Here are a few choice ones from the
lot:
Whitplock, Winter Pitlock, Widow
Pa flock, Witter Pollock, Witter Pc
log. Whytlock, Wytlock, Witter Plot
lock, Wylaplttock, Wyptlolock, Witeo-
pitelock, Wittlpelock, Paytolock, Pwy-

At Lafayette, Ind, lives n newspaper
man who is almost totally blind. He
reports Council meetings, lectures, ser
mons, debates in which half n dozen
men take part, local incidents that are
mentioned to him; interviews any
number of people, getting lanes and
dates and neve takes a note. When
he has gathered all his data, he goes
to the composing Don and sits down
by the linotype operator and dictates
just rs you would to a stenographer.
He wild keep that man busy from s in
the evening until 2 in the morning.
He has never been known to make n
mistake In name or date, nor credit
remarks to one Councilman which had
been uttered by another, no matter
how warm and confusing the debate
might have been.

A sea captain told a ghost story for
which, he said, Herman Merivale
stood sponsor.
"a ship" the captain began, was
crossing the Atlantic from Liverpool.
Half way over a sailor came to the
chief officer and said he had just seen
a strange man sitting in the cabin
writing. 1t seemed impossible for a
strange man to be aboard, and the of
see If he had not been mistaken. When
the sailor returned he had n slip of
paper In his hand. "The man Is not
there now, but this paper lay on the
table where he had been sitting" he
said. On the sheet were the words:
steer due south"
This thing was so mysterious that
the ships COURSE was actually changed
and she did steer due south for six or
sever hours. She came then on a
wreck and succeeded in rescuing the
men upon 1t. One of these men the
sailor of the resculng ship recognized
as the stranger whom he had seer be-
fore. This stranger, some hours earli-
er, had told his captain that he often
went into %cataleptic frances, and
that he had just come out of one in
which he had asked aid of n ship that
was sailing somewhere to the north.
1t seems al improbable story, this, but
1t Is very well authenticated, all the

An An,i-G ras shopper Fungus.

1t is not only beneficial insects, how
ever, which are b,ing imported, but
diseases of injurious insects, saws L.
O. Howard, in Eyerybody's Magazine.
In South Africa the colonists suffer
severely from warns of migratory
grasshoppers which fly from the north
and destroy their crops. They have
discovered out there n fungus disease
which under favorable conditions kills
off the grasshoppers in enormous num-
bers. At the archaeological Institute
in Grahamstown, Natal, they have cul-
tivated this fungus in culture tubes,
and have carried 1t successfully
| throughout the whole year; and they
have used it practically by distribut-
ing these culture tubes wherever
ewarms of ~grasshoppers settle and
lay their eggs. The disease, once
started in an army of young grasshop-
pcrs. soon reduces them to harmless
numbers. The United States Govern
ment last year secured culture tubes
of this disease, and experiments car
ried on in Colorado and in MississiDni
SNOW Ilil tHe Nidilty VI tHe fungus
had not been destroyed by its long
ocean voyage, and many g~rasshoppers
were killed by Its spread. During the
past winter other cultures were
brought over from Cape Colony, and
the fungus is being propagated in the
Department of Agriculture for distri-
button during the coming summer in
parts of the country where g~rasshop-
pers may prove to be destructiyely
abundant.

Our large dealers in raw furs do not

them a place on their price lists, yet
farmers continue to send them to mar

but a pelt fetches only about as much

RISE d THE PRICE OF BEEF.
Caused by Lack of Warm Wealth
err and Scarcity of Grass.

Chicago.-Beef on the hoof has been
advancing in price for the last two
weeks until the retail butchers Of Chi

heir prices. The unusual feature of
The advance is that it affects only the
cheaper grades, the price of what is

Beef carcasses have gone up al
most 81 per 100 pounds in the last
two weeks" said a representative of
Armour & Co, but this is nothing
unusual. Cattle always are higher at
this season of the year. The advance
will not continue long, and it has
reached the top mark already"
An explanation of the increase is
found in the late arrival of warm
weather and the consequent scarcity

"The Country Paper"

A Country paper Is defined by the
Clinton Herald as a paper published
in a town smaller than that in which
the paper using the term is published.
Whatever the exact definition may be,
the country paper, collectively con-
sidered, is a mighty power for good or
evil. There is not a great and greedy
interest wishing to use the govern
ment as an agency for the promotion
of its private end that does not take
special pains to enlist its influence

All successful business men agree
that good advertising pays. Good adj
vertising means interesting announce
ments placed in newspapers which
reach a large proportion of the people.
