What keeps ''Dowieism" alive? What enables
that queer Observation-Disclosures of Chicago. named
John Alexander Dowie to seize and retain the
blind faith of masses of men, to build city
belonging to himself, to draw from his followers
great fortune. to keep almost royal state
among them? There is in the current number OF
'Ainslee's Magazine" an article on the career
of this man, which is a extraordinary as a
fairy story. Out of bushels of chaff, says
the writer ''Dowie has winnowed some grains
of wheat and therein is the sustenance that
keeps Dowieism alive" The less intelligent Of
his people have been benefited:
Dowie has taken the dirty and made them
clean; he has made sober men out Of drunkaTdS;
he has made industrious out of idlers and
tramps; he has made producers out Of men VINO
had never before earned living; he has made
honest men out of dishonest ones; he has taken
shiftIess and thriftless and compelled them
TO paw their debts-no man can remain IN Zion
and fail to pay his debts promptly; he has taken
the respondent and given them cheerful ideas;
and. generally speaking, he has taken a class
of people who have had hard struggle to exist,
helped them to living and something
more and charged them commission Of 10
per cent of their earnings
The author of this paper has no reasonable
explanation of the hold which Dowie has upon
his educated and well-to-do adherents.

The September Outing is full Of valuable
and entertaining papers appealing not only to
sportsmen. but to all who love out of door life
Mr. Edwin c. Kents article on the woodcock
is pat to the time for the fall migration is at
hand when the agile bird tests most fully the
hunters abilities. Among the peculiarities Of
the woodcock as Mr.. Kent knows him, is his
fearful, his prodigious appetite. One of has
friends he tells US. kept pair of woodcocks
for some weeks:
He fitted up one end of his greenhouse for the
accommodation of the birds and provided TWO OF
three large shallow wooden trays; these were
filled. two or three inches deep, with loose,
moistened garden loan, in which was placed
the supply Of angle worms which the BIRDS
were fed He told me that it required more OF
the gardeners time than could well be spared
TO provide sufficient worms for the BIRDS as
the trays were always cleaned out during the
night and he eventually let the birds go pc
cause it cost much to keep them suppiled
with food. They were most interesting TO Walch.
They did not hunt by boring blindly into tne
earth haphazard; but the bird would Walk
slowly over the tray, holding its head on one
side in very much the attitude assumed by our
friend the robin when hunting worms on the
lawn. Presently it would stop seem TO nsteE
intently for a moment then plunge us ON iiito
the ground almost always dragging OUT
worm. The method of the birds convinced me
that they depend upon their sense OF nearing
to discover the position of the worm

The most effective short story of the month
Is Mr. w w. Jacobs. The Monkeys Paw,
nrinted in 'Harper's Magazine" Here the
author again leaves his merry mood in abey-
ance and touches the note Of tragedy and mys-
terry He does it with UNEXPECTED power The
result of the horror inspiring situation he re-
yeals is startling and original. "Oh, yes, says
the reader as he approaches the end of the
tale Just the same old story-the people wake
ND and find it's been nothing but dream" But
it has been nothing of the kind-and the last
sentence leaves us still under the spell of awe
SO cleverly imposed by the author. 1t is a very
good piece of work.
Well we'll we'll, Fashions undoubtedly
expected to change, but in spite of that fact we
are surprised TO find in Book News" a letter
stating that Civil War stories have ceased to
interest readers" and complaining that such
novels continue to be thrust the long suffer

large velocity of air should be forced
to sweep the working places for, say,
two hours. care being taken when fir
ing commences to slow down the fan
SO that the air is stilled. A barom-
eter should be kept in the Office at
every mine, so that atmospheric pres
sure may be observed
A poor system in vogue in many
of the mines of Iowa is the rule of fir
ing at noon and at quitting time also.
This exposes the miners to the danger
of an explosion twice during the day;
the danger being very great at quit
ting time as the gases accumulated
from the shots that have been fired at
noon still remain to a greater or lesser
extent in the working places when fir
ing takes place the second time. Here
is one. of the principal reasons why so
many explosions take place in a new
mine. In some mines | have known
the men when they fired at noon hav-
ing had to stay out of their working
places two hours before they could
venture to go to work again, and when
they did they felt the poisoning effects.
/ have already referred to proving
that earbonic oxide is still there.
There is another thing in connection
with this practice; the men have not
time to mine off their shots some
times and they cross-fre them, thus
using great deal more powder also.
The reason that firing twice a day
is in vogue in some mines is because
the men are restricted in their work,
by not having enough space to work
in, the vein being too low to admit
of two men making enough coal in
the space of twenty-five feet and max
ing fair salary for both.
In all the mines of Iowa coal un.
der six feet should be worked at
twenty-five feet of space to the man.
so that he could get enough coal to
make, wages for himself. In connec
ton with this / wish to state that
where men fire once day, and when
crowded for space, they will often drill
one shot behind another to try to
make. enough coal for the next day
which is bad and dangerous prac.
tice.

Councilman Valentines ordin- ance, introduced at the last meet ing uf the council, which provided that sixty per cent of all license moneys received by the city should be set aside as a fire fund, 10 meet outstanding indebtedness, incurred for the purchase of fire apparatus and supplies, should have passed.

As the matter now stands, q block of warrants 10 the amount of some 5000 must bt paid before warrants which are issued hereafter to local people. In other words, they must wait while sufficient money accumulates tu liqudate the fire warrants.

OUR NEW MAIL ROUTE.

According to dispatch from Rampant to the NUGGET, published in today's issue, partial planaton is afforded to the notorious delay of the mail in reaching Nome new mail service has been lnaugurated by way of liamna bay and our lvng- ove-due mail seems to have been !" stalled " on the new route. The NUGGET has advocated the estab lishment of the mail route, because 1t is believed to be the shortest and most practicable besides being al-Anerican. It still believes But it would seem that the contractors have made interpretations to the postoffice department. and that the latter has acted most i'll advisedly in sending the greater DOT tion of mail matter intended for Nome and this tion a comparatively untred route. with inexperienced contractors, who in all probability, not at all equipped or prepared to carry out the undertaking into which they entered. It is simply another illustration of departmental neglect, m efficiency and stupidity, and of contractors cupditv and greed. The pity of it lies in the fact that the people Of Northwestern Alaska are the real sufferers. The contractors will no doubt escape the penalty; the department will excuse itself it cares to take the trouble, and continue in the same houndering course that it has pursued for many years.
 In justice to the Yukon river contractors it must he said that they to be alert and pushing mail through with degree Of promptness hitherto unknown on this route. Letters received in the last mail only ffty-two days from Skagway, and Dawson mail in few days shorter time. But there was little of it. In the meantime we may comfort ourselves with the apparent fact that somewhere on the road to Iamna bay there is abundance of mail containing both letters and newspapers. We may not receive it for some time to come but that will not alter the fact that legitimate beg inning to have been made to open up new mail route, and we suffering, temporarily, by the experiment.
