MANY LABORERs LEAVE

Dowie Followers Ask Too Much From the,
Unbelievers and They Leave Zion
Experienced mechanics are leaving
Zion City in great haste today. They
were presented with the alternative of
holding their places and joining the
Christian Catholic church or of leav-
ing. They declined to recognize John
Alexander Dowie as the reincarnated
Elijah and quietly prepared for an
exodus. Dowie, it is understood, will
supplant them with members of his
own flock who have been serving for
over year as apprentices.
AS condition precedent to further
employment each mechanic would
have been required to sign an extra
ordinary vow or pledge. Such an act
would have placed the new recruit alb
solutely at the mercy of Dowie. He
would not be able to draw further pay
unless the General Overseer'' so di-
rected. He would be placed on pre-
c1sely the same plane as the members,
who for six weeks, have been denied
any compensation for their toll and
trouble.
The financial pinch is causing Dowie
great pain. While he denied the reg
ular compensation to his followers for
the third time in succession Tuesday,
he promptly met the claims of his en-
ployes who do not entertain his own
religious views. In the six weeks of
trial and tribu1ation Dowie has invar-
iably satisfied these demands, while
the faithful were told to practice the
virtue of patience.
With the distribution of salaries to
the 'Genti1es" Dowie's elders began
an active campaign for converts. "We
want you to stay with us and help
build up the place." was the usual ex-
PLANTATION, "but DR.. Dowie wants all
his workingmen to be with him. He
feels that everybody should be imbued
by the same spirit aud resolution"
The mechanic OF whom Dowie's men
had set their eyes was usually pre-
scented with blank form of applica-
ton. AT the bottom of this was printed
vow which would place the signer
7efolutely at the mercy of the self.
styled Restorer.
Dowie's financial affairs are said to
be rapidly approaching a crisis. 1t
DEVELOPS that only one strip of land
in the vast domain over which he ex-
ercises rule is free of debt. All the
rest is weighted down with mortgages,
the aggregate value of which reaches
S3O0,0O0. The papers securing this big
loan were only recently filed with the
county authorities at Waukegan,
The plight of the householder in
Zion City may be best appreciated
when it is understood that no follower
has title to the land. He is simply the
custodian of ninety-nine year lease
which is nil should a foreclosure re-
suit. Contracts with Dowie would be
of no value should he find himself nm
able to meet an interest note. Muir,
1nurings of discomfort are becoming
general at Zion. Some families are
reported to be in want of the neces-
saries of life. Once the winter with
its chill wind sets in, suffering is likely
to be general. Dowie in the meantime
processes the most unbounded con-
fdence in himself. He says that his
trusty followers will reap well the
fruits of patience and obedience.

HOLD UP MEN AT WORK.
Louis Ferry Is Held Up on Prairie Avenue at
an Early Hour This Morning

The hold-up man who has been
scarce in Kenosha for the past two or
three months, got real busy If Keno
sha this morning, and. as result of
his awakening daring crime is re-
ported to the police. The victim of
the robber was Louis Ferry. The
crime was'committed about two O'Clock
this morning and the place selected
for the operation vas Fashionable
Prairie avenue.
The hold-up men were pretty badly
worsted IN the deal as young Ferry
managed to make noise enough to
scare them away before they had Sc
cures his pocketbook and they were
forced to be satisfied with a small
amount of change taken from the
victims trousers pocket.
Ferry had been attending a dance at
Simmons hall and had started home
just before two O'Clock. Thinking
little of hold-up men he walked boldly
up the avenue, but just as he was
passing the corner of Fremont avenue
two men, who were hidden in the
shadow of the trees, leaped from their
hiding places and one seized the young
man on either side. With grip Of
iron they backed Ferry up to tree,
and while one of them did the holding
the other one, who seemed to be an
expert in locating pockets, proceeded
TO go through Ferry's pockets and
took what he could find.
In the meantime the young man
took itsupon himself to get busy and
he shouted for help. His shouts be-
came SO insistent that the men fear
ing discovery released him and ran
away. The men ran down Fremont
avenue to South street and we're lost
in the darkness. Young Ferry made
an effort to follow them but finding it
impossible to catch them he went
on home.
It was so dark at the scene of the
hold-up that the victim was not able
to recognize the men, but he feels con-
fdent that they were experts in the
matter. The case was not reported to
the police until late this morning and
it is proba BILE that the men have been
able to cover their tracks by this time,
and will not emerge until night favors
them with another opportunity to make
more trials at the hold-up game.
People should report such crimes to
the police at once and give the officers
a chance to capture the guilty parties.
With an hours start almost any Grim
ina1 is able to, make his escape and
this start should not be given them.
Get Gs.elephone at the nearest house
and call the police and report all
crimes

A SOLEMN QUESTION.

me of the Franks Artemus Ward
Played Upon His Brother.
In the days when Cyrus Browne and
better known as "Artemus Ward"
lived in Waterford, the little Maine
village that nestled among the hills
and never did anything else but
nestle" Charles delighted to play prac-
teal jokes ON Cyrus Charles came
home one freezing night, says the mar
rator of the following prank in the
Boston Herald, at an hour that would
be thought early In a metropolis but
was not so considered in Waterford.
The family were sleeping soundly in
the warm comfort of their beds when
the future Snowman halted under the
window of Cyrus, and raised an alarm.
ICY! Oh, Cy! Come out here, Cyv'
After a time Cyrus appeared at the
window. ''What do you wantY' he
demanded through the crack he had
opened.
II want you to come DOWN. with
great earnestness. 81 want to ask you
a question, Cy."
ooh, go ,wayI' said Cyrus, his teeth
chattering In the awful cold. "Its
only one of your jokes"
Really, Cy, it's very important
question: persisted Charles with in
creased earnestness. TITS a solemn
thing, and I want you to come down,
Cy: want you bad"
Finally, after grumbling and expos
tulating. Cyrus slipped on some clothes
and came reluctantly downstairs and
out into the arctic cold Nov what
in the world is it that you want?" he
asked.
Charles came up close, laid his hands
on his brothers shivering shoulders,
and in that voice of plaintive solemnity
which in after years moved so many
people to mirth said:
