GONE TO JOIN DowIe.
Wichitan Picks Up and Leaves for
Zion.

The neighborhood mp along the Little
arkansas river. about Twenty second
street has had much To talk of recently.
Dowie. the great Chicago Zionist has
figured largely IN this gossip. The object
and cause Of all the gossip is told By one
who was a neighbor to the man who has
gone TO make his abode with Dowie. This
man lived on the corner Of TWenty-sec-
ond street and Arkansas avenue in a
little house ali his own. With him lived
his wife and children one day not long
ago he got hold of some D0wie literature
teaching OF the wonderful religion pro-
NOTED by Dowie. He became infatuated
vy.tn the creed. IL is said by the neigh
5ors, and suddenly pulled UP the stakes
OF his abode and with his wife protest
ing went TO Chicago To- join DOwie. The
reason for thinking that he was infat-
uated IS that he left with garden full
grown and without renting his house or
having anything done with it.
The second chapter OF the story was
brought to notice YESTERDAY I'm a letter
received by real estate firm here IL
was from the manager of Dcwie and on
the letter head these were the words
Where God lives, We Prosper This
missive notified the firm THAI Dowie
owns certain property at the corner Of
4wenty-second street ana Arkansas ave
nue.. the meets and bounds being given
q in a warranty deed. IL was asked In
this letter 10 sell the said real estate for
$500 From the description OF the property
as given In the letter it is judged that
the Wichita man has turned his home
over to the Great Elijah.
II il IS true that Dowie, Of zion
fame has brought his big enterprises
into financial straits the whole fabric Of
LIS power may soon fall 10 pieces. Many

great religious movements have survived
long periods Of poverty persecution and
obloquy in their early stages, but Dowie
has made material things count so large

ing and founding a church that he may
fairly be said 10 have staked all on q
business venture. He has demanded
much in money and service from his adj
herents and has promised them great
prizes in comfort and prosperity. If he
fails TO fulfil those pledges of rewards
for their obedience and fidelity he will

WOULD ENHANCE VALUES.
Cry for Union Depot Becoming More
and More Urgent.

Since the article appeared in the Eagle
in regard to the great benefit that Wich-
ita would receive from the building Of a
union station, there has been much talk
the same and many are going after
the coUncilmon 10 try and have this mat
ter taken hold Of and brought to a sue
cessful end. one business man Of the
city declared yesterday that a union de-
pot can be established here: that union
depots have been established ia cities
more settled and established than Wich-
tia and that there is no reason why
Wichita should not have one. He said
that it would enhance the value of prop
erty in this city 20 per cent. OF the i'm
preston that II would make on home
seekers and other persons passing
through the city. he cited the impression
a city with a union depot always made
on his mind. lie says he can remember

County to be Known Early
BECAUSE OF CIRCLES
Which Will Make the Count
Easy and Rapid.

It IS believed by those who have been
studying the new ballot that it is going 10
obviate the old tNeIve-hour wait for cleo
ten returns in the future, matter which
las for years been an election night
heart breaker
Since the fusionists have been knocked
out OF their attempt to prove the new
ballot law unconstitutional the work OF
.ilstructing voters in the matter Of mark
ing tallos has begun.
For the first time at any general cleo
ton the SedgwicE county voter VII ina
an emblem and a circle at the head Of
his party column. The Republican emb-
lem is an Eagle and just beneath il IS
circle. A cross mark with a black pen
eli n this circle votes the Republican
ticket straight. Those who have informed
themselves OF the drift OF public senti-
Icent predict that an unusually large
number Of straight tickets will be voted.
Republican voters, in particular. are cerd-
TIED with this purpose. il is shown that
IL a big per cent of the Republican vote
ia the circle, this circumstance coupled
with the circle vote of Democrats and
Populists for their tickets viii make the
count election night extraordinarily easy
and unusually rapid
Hitherto this, IN common with other
Kansas counties. has been wofully slow

has been possible to know how New
ork, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois and
practically all the states in the Unicn
lave gone before midnight, while Ine
judges and clerks are tediously counting
stu II the Second or Third or Fourth
ward in Wichita. IN cases where the
election WAS close il was impossible to
get anything decisive until noon the day
after election. The new raight-tjcket
circles will facilitate The work greatly
and it is possible that long before mid
night election night definite news Of re-
suits in city, county and state VIII be AZ

While the new ballot presents an Oppor-
tunity for voting a straight ticket with
ease, Il offers many perpieXities 10 the
voter who is of scratching disposition.
