SAYS HE is ELIJAH.
Dowie Proclaims Himself Reiucarna-
ton of the Prophet.

1t is now "Elijah Ill" and no longer
Or" Dowie, the banker and real estate
promoter. Sunday in Chicago, surround
ed by thousands of his followers and GU
riosity seekers, he publicly proclaimed
himself to be the reincarnation of Elijah.
II am Elijah, the prophet, who appeared
first as Elijah himself, second as John
the Baptist, and who now comes in me,
the restorer of all things" he declared
to an audinece in the big Auditorium.
Elijah was a prophet and John was
preacher but l combine in myself the
attributes of prophet, priest and ruler
| over men. Gaze on me, then; l say 1t
without fear. Make the most Of it, you
wretches in ecclesiastical garb, and YOU
agents and vipers of the press. / am he
that is the living physical and spiritual
embodiment of Elijah, and my coming
on earth a third time has been prophesied
by Malachi, by God, by His Son, Jesus,
by Peter and, 5000 years ago, by Moses.
You who believe me in the very truth of
this and accept me for what | say | am,
stand up"
Then two-thirds of the audience which
had crowded into the auditorium and had
sat still for almost three hours waiting
for this climax to the volley of vitupera-
ton and rantings of the "healer" stood
up. All who stood did not sit down
again, however. Hundreds when they
got on to their feet and over their amaze
ment walked out into the air.
Everybody and everything that Dowie
is against, from the Pope of the Roman
Catholic Church and his American dig
nitaries TO the deyoteeS of medical sci
ence, the Masonic order, the bankers, the
laws and the press, came in for the de-
nunciation, or spanking" as the heal
err chooses to call his remarks.
Next he gave an imitation of goat
supposed to be the one the Masons ride.
He bleated and butted around the stage
and kicked up his heels. He proclaimed
theOcracy and said the governments of
the world were failures and rotten to the
core.
Before l forget it," he shouted, 1--WE
must take up a collection for God"
Il am the only man on earth who is
preaching the true covenant" he contin-
ued while the contribution boxes were
circulating. Where else do you hear it
preachedY' Nowhere" came the an
swering cmhorus of his followers.
Then take me as Elijah" he proclaim
ed "Those who scoff at me scoh at God.
All! you miserable hounds Of the press
thought / would say l was Christ. but
am not. ! am Elijah, the restorer of all
things"
Many persons left the audience, accord
ing to a Chicago paper, saying that
Dowie was insane.

Mrs. C.. ]. West, aged "a, wife of G. j.
West of the Duluth Iron and Metal Com
pany, while in Chicago u few weeks ago
visited a palmist with a party of friends
and was startled to be informed that she
had but thirty days to live. She laughed
the matter off and made light of the pre-
dictiOn, but evidently it made cOnsidera-
bic impression upon her. After a visit
of two weeks in Chicago Mrs West went
with her friends to a small town across
the Indiana border, where a party was
given in her honor. One of the women
with whom Mrs. West had been playing
cards proposed TO tell her fortune. Again
the fateful prediction was made that Mrs.
West had but two more weeks of life.
Two days later Mrs. West complained of
feeling i'll and returned to her home in
Duluth. Eminent physicians were gath
cred in consultation, but despite their
best efforts she died upon the last day of
the fatal two weeks. DR.. Graham, who
was in attendance upon Mrs. West, says
that the fortune-telling undoubtedly ex-
erted an influence to produce the wom-
ans death.

Conductor Throws Himself Before a
Street Car to Prevent Collision.
A deliberate sacrifice of his life for
the sake of those who were nothing TO
him was made~by Irwin Montgomery,
street car conductor at McKeesport, Pa.
Despite his heroism, he and a 3-months-
old child of James Monetville were IA
tally injured and four others were seri-
Ously hurt. As MontgOmery's car, with
thirty passengers, neared the grade cross
ing of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie Rail
way, running down a steep grade, on
which the street car tracks are sharply
curved, Il train was seen approaching.
Motorman McQuaid applied the brakes,
but they did not hold. Montgomery, who
had gone ahead, ran to an emergency
switch, intending to derail the car, but
the switch was broken. Montgomery
then, without hesitation, threw himself
in front of the car, offering his body as an
obstacle The car struck him and the
shock lessened it's speed. The next mo-
ment the flying engine struck the front
of the car and carried away the plat
form. But for Montgomery's action the
engine would have struck the car fairly

taught. He early started out to earn his
own living. He was a clerk in a grocery
store when an actor of the day, joe
Webb, supported by a small company and
two st. Bernard dogs, came TO West
Troy to play The Dog OF Montargis."
The actor who should have played the
part of Macaire failed to appear. Herne
learned of the need OF the manager for
an actor and volunteered. He not only
did not break down, but went through
the small role so creditably that he was
engaged to continue in it. That was his
beginning.
Herne was in San Francisco in the late
'70's and wanted a play for himself, but
could not get one. David Belasco sug-
gested that he write it himself. With

upon the marriage question, which are
"abhorrent to enlightened Christian SEN

Next to the verdict. the most interesting
feature of the trial was a lengthy com
munication from Heron accepting in ad-
vance the decision Of the council. In this
letter he sought to justify on theoretical
grounds the ,rectitude of his conduct. lie
announced that henceforth his efforts
would be devoted to the Socialistic

the conventionalities which trammel

the writer's life was one of truth and
honesty as against the slavish supersti-
tions which guided the course of his ac
cusers.
1t was proved to the satisfaction of
the council that Mrs. Heron did not in
itiate the divorce proceedings. Tortured
by years of fragrant and studied neglect,
herself and her children daily insulted by
the patronage and presence of the woman
who had led Heron away from his fam
lily, the patient wife, yet hoping that her
supreme devotion and unfaltering loyalty
would win him back. refused to resort to
the divorce courts. Woman teachers at
Grinnell College who were classmates of
Mary Eberhart in the old days at Ripon,
Wis, when George Heron, then a stu
dent, wooed and won her, told the council
that the divorce proceedings, while tech
nically coming from the wife, were
prompted, urged and even forced by Prof.
Heron.
Heron was not in the city. He had
been granted the option of naming a fair
proportion of the members of the council,

the opportunity. In fact, he signitied his
