hopes all wiped away.

With a sad look on her face;
Il didn't understand you;

angry style:

Dowie's Financial Crash.

Judge Kohlsaat of the United States
district court at Chicago granted Tuesday
the application of creditors of John Alex
ander Dowie, the self-styled Elijah the
Restorer, for receivership OF all the
property controlled by Dowie. Two re-
ceivers have been appointed and have
taken possession of everything at Zion
City, Ill. The value of the accumulated
property is estimated at 500, 000, 900 and
the debts which Dowie must settle soon
are estimated at $3.50 900. 1t was shown
to Judge Kohlsaat's satisfaction that
Dowie is insolvent. and that he owes debts
that he cannot pay. His recent unfruit-
full and costly trip to New York city with
his Restoration Host seriously crippled
him financially. Since his return he has
urged and commanded his followers to
provide him with money, but they haven't
responded freely 1t is now said that Zion
City lace and candy works, which are the
leading industries of the place. have been
run at loss and that wages have not
been paid for some time. Dowie's claim
is that he only requires money i'm order to
expand, that he is thoroughly solvent,
and that this effort to cripple him Will
not end his career. Dowie's wife and son
started recently for Australia. 1t was re-
ported at the time that they carried a
large sum of money

advertisements about Doan's Kidney
Pills in the Brattleboro papers / came to
the conclusion that there might be some-
thing in them more than ordinary and
procured a box at Geo. e. Greene's drug
store The result obtained from the
treatment justified me in telling Mr.
Greene that he need not be afraid to
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills to any
one, and that had good personal reasons

in such misery that / often wished

Chester Whitman Tenant. writing
from Dawson to the Hartford Courant,

common ignorance in the States regarding
Alaska. He says they have as fine sum-
mers as ever were experienced In the

evenings (nights) are getting little dark

The Christmas Dinner.

In spite of the fact that the word dys-
pepsia means literally bad cook, it will
not be fair for many to lay the blame on
the cook If they begin the Christmas Din
ner with little appetite and end it with
distress or nausea. 1t may not be fair
for any to do that-let us hope so for the
sake of the cook, The disease dyspepsia
indicates bad stomach. that is a weak
stomach, rather than a bad cook. and
for a weak stomach there is nothing else
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t gives
the stomach vigor and tone, cures dys-
pepsia, creates appetite. and makes eat
ing the pleasure ii should be.
