|DOWIE'S SENSATIONAL STORY
TOLD TO NEW YORK THOUSANDS

"One day later he gave me some pa
pers which explained everything
knew that ! had been robbed of my
birthright by that villain sitting in
front of me: ! knew hat | was not his
son; knew that he had married my
mother in March and that had been
born in May. And. with the knowledge
that had come so strangely to me,
saw also that my. good, noble mother
had been tricked into a Scotch mar
riage with British army officer OF
high standing. whose relatives had hpr-
ried him out Of the way, and that my
dear mother, to hide her shame, had
married that vile scoundrel who sat
there before me and had done that
which. had known Of it twenty years
before would have given me the Iighf
place in the world. For there is no
doubt that her marriage to the scoun-
drel John Murray Dowie was invalid
And the SctOch marriage could Dt
have been invalidated and ! was the
rightful son of my father. What that
place might have been is not for me to
say shall nevtr seek il, for If 1t car
ried with it the finest ducal cOrOnet in
the United Kingdom would not want
to change it for the office | hold and
the ministry | minister to God.
The last words, pronounced with
solemnity over the great, still garden,
fell on the audience ike an irrevocabIe
dictum. and in a few seconds great
burst of applause greeted the speaker,
My father who was man of high
standing led one Of the great charges
in the Crimean war and died like sol
der at the head of his troops.
Il want to say that | never wanted
this story to come out, but il is known
that | am not the son of the miserable
scoundrel who, in order to strike at me.
sold the letters in which ] reprOached
him, to the vile press of New York.
Dowie burst into invective of the
bitterest type against the press for
publishing the letters. He ragged Ike n
man crazed by the enormity of injury
done him, and then as if spent by the
exertion of his TRADE. broke down and
wept He said he was glad his wife
and son we're away, so that he could
bear the humiliation alone. He likened
himself to David and Solomon but
added that he did not consider lie was
| jllegitimate. At the close Of the ad-
dress Dowie pronounced this benedic-
ton:
God look down upon The irrespcn-
sible band of criminals who write the
papers and publish their lies, and have
mercy on them. Have mercy, God,
and grant grace TO the country and
may it muzzle and. if need be. destroy

Prooress of State Roads.

The Denver Republican of October
22nd says:
State Engineer Carpenter is planning
to have the first surveys on all of the
state roads authorized by the Legisla
ture completed before winter. One
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
is available for the construction Of
state roads and bridges, and the work
is being carried on as rapidly as the
force in the State Engineers Office can
do it.
There are now under construction
some twenty roads in the state. Some
of them will cost as high as $4,000 per
mile In the mountain districts where a
great deal of the work has to be done
in solid rock.
A contract was let yesterday for
$4,000 to the Conejos Oil Company for
the sinking OF an artesian well at Man
assa. Conejos county. Bids had been
advertised for and they were opened
yesterday. The well is to be sunk 500
feet. 1t is not expected that the water
will flow from the well but it can be
brought within few feet Of the sur
face. A meeting of the Las Animas
county board for the construction OF
an artesian well was held. but owing to
the fact that the representative from
the county was not present the bids
were not opened.
The board of construction of the Rio
Grande and Conejos county road met
and bids were asked for portion Of
the road above Jasper This road has
been repaired below Jasper, but bids
are to be asked for on the new road.
The board of construction of the Cos
tilla county bridge over the Rio Grande
river will ask for bids. The bridge Is
to be six miles east of Monte Vista and
is to be 2l0 feet long and viii be built
either in two or three spans.
The surveys of the La Plata county
road has been completed and the sur
vey on the Dolores county road has
been completed but not accepted, while
the Telluride road will be taken up
very soon. Other roads in the state are
being made rapidly and all of them
will be well under way next spring.
The surveys will be completed this
year SO that work can begin immedi-
ately after the SHOWS clear away in the
spring.

SOLDIERS SEIZE
ARMS AT VICTOR

Denver. Oct. 2S.-A Republican spe-
cial from Victor last night says; Zen
Winchester rifles and 600 rounds OF
ammunition were seized this afternoon
by the military authorities. The small
arsenal was discovered in the cottage
of j. L. Coogan. a member OF Free
Coinage Miners Union No. 10 of Alt
man. Coogan professed ignorance that
the arms were there and declares that
he does not know to whom they be-
long.
In shallow closet between two
rooms of the cottage was found a trap
door, carefully concealed by carpet
and a rug. The opening in the floor
was Just large enough to admit man S
body. Through this place a soldier
crawled into the little cellar where
the ten Winchesters were piled. care
fully wrapped in blankets so that the
dampness of the vault would not rust
them. Piled in a corner were boxes
containing the cartridges, which were
loaded with bullets of the dum-dum
variety. Nothing else was 10 De louhd
in the excavation.
Coogan's cottage is back of sa-
loon that is a recognized rendezvous of
the strikers, and the military authori-
ties say they have knowledge that the
strike leaders knew of the presence of
the arsenal. In fact they assert that
the ten Wnchesters were only part
of a consignment of 100 similar wea-
pons, with a propOrtionate quantity Of
ammunition, received in the district
five weeks ago by leaders of the strike
committee The individual to whom, it
is asserted, the munitions were con-
signed, was military prisoner and is
one of those who since has filed suit
against Governor Peabody and the mil
itary leaders for 100000 for alleged
false imprisonment.
The military leaders further assert
that these 100 rifles have distributed
among the strikers and that they have
knowledge of some who have them in
their possession. Search is being made
for them and if found the weapons VIII
be seized.

New York. Oct. 2S.-ln a broken
voice. with tears streaming down tbs
face and his body shaking with emo
tion, John Alexander Dowie stood on
the pla, form in Madison Square Garden
Monday night, before an audience OF
10 900 persons, and announced that IN
truth he was not the son OF John Muir
ray Dowie of Essex, Iowa, from whom
he takes his patti onymic. but OF
British army officer OF high family by
Scotch marriage
The revelation was made at the end
of an hours TRADE against the press OF
this city, its treatment of his work and
himself being styled conspiracy OF
falsehood," the reporters denounced as
yellow dogs, poisonous reptiles, who
have wrecked thousands of homes and
broken thousands of hearts
He led up to the publication of ex-
tracts from letters passing between
himself and John Murray Dowie, in
dicating Dowie's denunciation of the
latter as parent, and which were re-
sponsible for the general overseer's
partial exposition of the great secret OF
his life.
Nov that this has come before the
world" he said. Il had better tell the
story. | had determined long ago that
if ever it must come out wherever
was, no matter what the assemblage,
should tell my story.

was greatly beloved by the privates and
officers of one of the foremost regi-
ments of the British army. Our home

Attorney General Returns.

Attorney General ~ g. Miller re-
turned October 18th from Washington,
where he went to file the amended an
swer of the state of Colorado in the
kansas-Colorado water suit. Mr.. Mil
Ter stated that the supreme court sat
on October u, and that on that day he
filed with the court the amended an
swer in the case He stated that other
lawyers from Denver and Colorado ap-
peared before the court at that time,
among them being Clyde Dawson, T.
c. Goodale and Joel f. Vaile.
The next step" said General Mil
Ter last night. lis the filing of replica
tions on the part of the state of Kan
sas. Kansas, too, probably will take
exception to a point raised in the
amended answer of Colorado. That
point is the one concerning the fact
that certain citizens of Kansas should
have been joined in the case on the
Kansas side. This exception will be
filed with the court some time probably
before the first of the year and the su-
preme court may then be in position
to announce at what time it will hear
arguments on the exception.
The last answer of the other de-
PENDANTS in the case may be filed up
to November II. Il believe" contin-
ued Mr. Miller. that we have an excel
lent case and that Kansas will find that
it has very little ground on which to
stand. That has been my opinion ever
since was connected with the case
and | am still firm in that belief | be-
lieve that the arguments set forth by
the state of K1nsa have been COM
pletely answered.

Greeley Potato Crop.

Denver, Oct, 2S.-A Republican spe
cial from Greeley says. Potato dig
ging in the Greeley district is nearly
completed. The unusually pleasant
and dry weather Of the past two weeks
has given the farmers opportunity
without any interruption, and they
have gotten their potatoes into their
cellars in the clcanest possible shape
The potato crop Of the Greeley dis
trict will be between 5000 and 10000
car loads. Not only is the crop fifty
per cent. larger than that of any pre-
vious year but the quality Is also
far above the average. J. A, Hicks
had the largest yield per acre, fifteen
acres growing 300 sacks per acre.
Many farmers have raised from 23O
to 2GO sacks per acre and the average
crop per acre easily reaches 100 sacks.
The potato harvest in this district
will bring to the farmers $4,000 600.
Fifteen hundred to 1000 car loads have
already been shipped to Iowa, Ne
braska, Missouri, Texas, Indian Ter
ritory, Oklahoma and scattering mar
kets. As the season advances the mar
ket broadens, especially in the South
and East.

Farmers Coming West.

The slump of the eastern stock mar
ket has caused rush of investors to
the West who are anxious to purchase
land. So says c. f. Wantland, land
agent for the Union Pacific railroad. IL
the past six weeks substantial people.
mostly from Iowa. Minnesota, Missouri
and Illinois. have purchased 100000
acres OF land in eastern Colorado and
SO, 900 acres were sold during the past

Mr.. Wantland thinks that other re-
ligious organizations should follow in
the wake of the Salvation Army and
found colonies in the West. While the
Canadian government spends thous-
ands of dollars in getting out litera-
ture in regard to its vacant lands, the
United States does not even print a
map showing where the unsettled por-
tions are, and for this reason thous-
ands of young Americans are going to
Canada and taking up land there, while
land every whit as good here is given
over to the wars of the cattlemen and
sheepmen instead of providing homes

ASSASSIN SHOOTS
AT PRESIDENT DIAZ

Guanajuata, Mexico, Oct. 2S.-Great
excitement was caused here yesterday
by desperate attempt on the life of
President Diaz, who was guest OF
tivities here.
The President. his staff and guests
were passing by the Oantador garden
in street car. when a man of the
lower class named Elias Toscano, aD
preached the car shouting and fired
five shots from revolver at the car
fortunately doing no harm.
Paklo Escanadon of the Presidents
staff rushed from the car and caught
the man, wrenching the revolver from
his grasp The police took Toscano to
prison.
Toscano is a man with a bad criminal
record, but recently released from
prison at Granditas. where he had
served term for homicide. The mat
ter will be Investigated.
One theory is that TosCano was
drunk and another that he deliber-
ately planned to shoot the chief magis
trate.
The President remained perfectly
cool and was acclaimed by the crowd
of citizens showing their Joy at his
escape.
ToscanO's evil record makes the
theory of deliberate attempt at as
sassination appear probable.
