Chicago, Dec Q. John Alexander
Dowie win be put on the witness stand
before Referee sydney c. Eastman and
under oath be required to answer all
questions regarding the financial
affairs Of Zion City. While the date
for the inquiry has not yet been set.
Judge Kohlsaat this afternoon entered
an order which requires the oyerseer
Of the Christian Catholic church to
submit to the examination.
1t Is not likely that any Of the indus
tries Of Zion City win be closed. ais In
such event thousands Of people would
be deprived Of the means Of livelihood.
This is said to be one Of the main rea-
sons why Dowie viii be retained as
manager Of the business under the di-
rectlon OF the receivers. The receivers
realize Dowie's strong hold on his fol-
lowers and wish to present any turn Of
events which might turn Zion City into
a deserted village. That Zion City's
two chief industries the lace works and

An opossum is born in much more

Spanlard. A man of steady nerve, clear head,

Approached by friend recently, his opin-

national catarrh remedy. Without the slight
est hesitation he gave this remedy his en-
dorsement 1t appeared on later conversa-
ton that Peruna has been used in his family,
where it is a favor;te remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the
minds of the American people 1t is out of
the question that so great and famous a man
as Admiral Schley could have any other
reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy
is all that he says it is.
The fact is that Peruna has overcome all
