Fort Worth, Texas, December D.
The farmers of Texas are being
unionized at rapid rate. There
are to-day 5000 unions in Texas,
with atotal membership of 10000, OF
more, and the organization is spread
ing like wildfire. it began at Emory,
Rains county, about ten months ago,
under the name of the aFarmers'
Educational and Cooperative Union
of America" and is now established
in nearly every populous county in
Texas. About the middle of Febru-
ary next meeting will be held for
completing State organization, and
it is believed the movement will
spread to other States as theY Farm
ers' Alliance which organized in
Texas did few years ago.
The purpose of the union is to buy
and sell in bulk, to educate along
agricultural lines, and to .eschew
politics, but to, nevertheless, discuss
political economy.

structive fire, originating from a
spark on the roof of the Babb Com

the stores of Nesbitt, Childers Co.

Furman's $4,000 Is Raised.

The Daily Mail last night received
the following telegram from Rev. j.
d. Chap man, d. D., who is in Green
vile:
"Greenville, December I've
have raised one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars for Furman
university. J. d. Chapman"
This will be gratifying news to
Anderson Baptists, and to the men,
bers of the denomination every
where. The efforts of the leaders
of the church to raise 100000 in
subscriptions of $3.50 each for an
endowment fund for Furman has
been familiar to the public.
In addition Rev. DR.. Judson, of
the Furman faculty, offered to give
100000 if the sum of $105,000 was
raised before the first of December.
This assures now that the Furman
endowment will be $125,00O.
1t is understood that other large
donations have been promised from
wealthy persons from outside the
State. 1t is expected that the en-
dowment fund will reach 100000 or
$250,000 before great while.-An-
derson Mail.

powlE's ZION. CRY cspslzes.
Federal Courts Have Taken Possession o. All
Property Controlled BY Elijah u.

=.
Chicago, December Financial
difficulties which began daring the
crusade of John Alexander Dowie,
the self-stylea "Elijah H." and his
restoration host to New York a
month ago and which have been
rapidly increasing since Dowie's re-
turn, eliminated tonight in the
Federal Courts taking possession of
all the property controlled by Dowie
in Zion City, Ills. This town, which
was founded two years ago by Dowie,
has population of over ten thous-
and, is the general headquarters for
Dowie's church and is said to repre-
sent an expenditure of $4,000, 900.
Frederick M. Blount, cashier of
the Chicago National banh, and AL
bert D. Currier, law partner OF
Congressman Boutell, were appointed
receivers of the property. Their
bonds were fixed at 100000 by
Judge Kohlsaat, of the United States
District Court, who made the ap-
pointment in the petition of several
creditors. The receivers left for
Zion City tonight to take possession
of the property.
DowIE ALLEGED TO BE INsoLvENT.
The bankruptcy proceedings
against Dowie were based on the allie
cation that he is insolvent, and that
while in this financial condition he
committed an act of bankruptcy by
making q preferential payment on
November 2 to the Streeter Lumber
Company for $3,770. Dowie has
been hard pressed by his creditors,
especially since it was announced
that his recent mission to New York
has proved unsuccessful financially.
Dowie il known to have accumu-
lated large sum as the head of the
Christian Catholic church, the assets
of the organization being estimated
at between S2O,OO0,000 and $50, ,OOO,-
600. There was large outlay OF
money, however, when Zion City
was started, and as both of these
ventures have never been a paving
investment, great deal of money
was tied up.
Last Wednesday Dowie's first con-
fession of weakness was made at a
rally in the tabernacle at Zion City
GA lot of you people have cash in
your pockets" Dowie said to his fol-
lowers. "Dig down and get it out
1t is Gods and we need it in his
work. You are towards if you dc
not give it up. Deposit it,"
Dowie talked in the same strain
for more than an hour, tears glisten.
ing on his cheeks as he told of the
financial straits in which the Zion in.
dustries found themselves.

Instead Of frightening many into
depositing, this appeal sent a long
line of people to the bank on Friday,
when they lined upsat the paying
teller's window, drawing out their
money.
Less than $4,000 was deposited in
the bark on Friday, while the amount
withdrawn was twice as much. Late
in the afternoon A. w. Graham, of
Waukegan, tried to withdraw his
account of $500, and was told he
would have to give thirty days no.
tioe before he could get his money.
FAILED TO GET FUNDS.
Yesterday another effort was made
by Dowie to get fnnds, but the de-
positors who appeared were few and
the deposits were chiefly in trivial
amounts. To-day Dowie asked the
members of Zion more urgently than
ever for money. He declared that
he must have 100000 without de-
lay. In the Efforts to remedy the
condition of affairs at Zion City
hundreds of letters were sent out
daily to Dowie's followers in other
parts of the country. In these let
ters all Dowieites are urged, almost
commanded, to sell their farms,
stores and everything else and come
at once to Zion City and take up the
work of the church.
1t is declared that the employees
of the manufacturing industries have
not been paid in from four to six
weeks. What little they have re-
ceived is said to have been paid en-
tirely in the Zion City coupon books.
Early in the week before last Dowie
made trip through the various
shops. He told his followers and
others that they must either wait for
their salaries or must endure sub
stantial cut in wages. This was
agreed to.

Blood Rains on Palermo.

Rome, December 2.-Tho phe-
nomenon known as the "rain of blood''
was noticed near Palermo during the
fearful weather of the past few days,
the rain drops being 80 red as to
leave stain resembling blood. This
phenomenon is said to come from
Sahara after severe sand storm, the
sand of the desert being carried by
the wind across the sea and mixing
with the rain as it falls. This form
of the phenomenon is somewhat rare,
although it reached as far az Rome
three years ago. Not understanding
the reason for it, the peasants of the
neighborhood were very much fright
ened.

No Toy Pistols this Year.

Few people realize that it is
against the law for shopkeepers or
other persons to give away or sell
toy cap. pistols or caps for the juve-
nile weapons. The General Assem-
bly, passed an act at its last session
prohibiting the sale of toy pistols
because of the fact that 80 many
deaths had occurred from their use,
but they are now offered in many
stores. The act states that cit shall
be unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation in this State to sell, put
up for sale or offer for sale or give
away any toy pistol in which caps
or cartridges are used or any caps
or cartridges for such toy pistols
The maximum penalty is 800 for
each conviction.

prison, where he has been for some
time under sentence of death for the
murder of William Marsh Rice, the
aged Texas millionaire, whose
property he is alleged to have

but one refused to vote. Being q
lawyer he prepared his own case for
the court of appeals, and has aided
the condemned men in their efforts
to secure new trials. All questions
Of Importance are referred to him,
and he passes upon them just as a
city magistrate would under other
circumstances. Patrick thanked
his fellows for the confidence they
had in him, and assured them he
would try to rule with firmness and
to their entire satisfaction.
Condemned prisoners are not per-
mitted to visit one another. Each
exercises in his own cell, and is
taken out but once 8 week. There
fore the powers of the mayor are
great. If two of the inmates want
to play checkers it is necessary for
all the others to be quiet. This and

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the eusta
chian tube. When this tube gets infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars fol
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarri
Cure. Send for circulars free.

In view of the fact that the colored
people avail themselves of every
opportunity to send their children to
school, it behooves the white parents
to make every possible sacrifice to

there are 10000 more colored than
