Mistakes Known Too Late.

Some men marry women whom they

take 1t is all right to think that there
is only one girl in the world for you,
but you should be careful in selecting
this one person. When a man selects a
sickly girl or one in whose family there
is some hereditary disease, he is either
a fool or has no regard for his pros
perity.

appearance plays in a mans life, DR..
Reinhart exhorted mis- hearers to APP

OFFICERS DESPAIR OF SUCCESS
Belief Grows That Train Robbers Have
Made Good Their Escape,

VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept. 20.-The
police announce that they believe the
robbers who held up the Canadian Pa
cific transcontinental train last Sat
urday have made good their escape.
Provincial officer Monroe returned
this morning after working with Pro-
vincial Officer Colin Campbell since
the robbery in an attempt to trace the
highWaymen. He says that he be-
lieves the chances of capture are now
slim. and that if the men are arrested
it will be merely an accident
The only hope now is that the size
of the reward will tempt some one in
the gang to disclose the whereabouts
Of his fellow criminals. 1t is announced
today by The Province that a procla-
nation will be issued at once by tn
Dominion government offering a re-
ward of $4,000 for the capture of the
robbers. This will bring the total up to
$4,000.

DOWIE is TO HEAR CONFESSIONS
Creates An Apostolic Order, Of Which
He Is the First.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20.-John AleXan-
der Dowie and the eleven other men
to be proclaimed apostles of Jesus
Christ" are to hear confessions of sin.
This version of the new rank to be
bestowed on the overseer and his as
sistants was learned in Zion City today
from a resident in touch with the Sc
cretS of the DOWie church.
Public announcement of DoWie's eff
fort to constitute himself d forgiven of
sins IS expected When at a great meet
ing in Shiloh Tabernacle he will make
announcement of his new authority.
This was kept secret until after the
meeting Wednesday at Which the apOs-

Not Well Received.
Dowie's assertion that he now felt
himself divinely called to assume the
new role was not well received by many
OF hts followers at first consideration.
the more that the power to forgive sins
together with the rumOred establish
ment of a confessional was said to be
one of the Accomplishments of the new
dignity.
Dowie, however, was not to be balk-
deaconesses, so secret that the second
guard was called out to keep the COM
mon herd from approaching within
100 feet of the Shiloah tabernacle were
held in the fore part of the week.
After the restoring hosts had been
kept waiting from 7:30 until 9:15 o.
clock Wednesday evening, Dowie ac-
companied by his followers appeared.
Questions were submitted as to
whether or not the time had come to
e-establish the apostolic office and
whether they would recognize Dowie,
not as the prophet of the restoration,
but as the "divinely commissioned
apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ
Queer Unanimity.
Despite the fact that considerable
number voted negatively. the an
nouncement was made that the vote
was unanimously affirmative. Then,
and not till then, relates a follower Of
Dowe who has been displeased by his
latest claims did the prophet ex-
plain to his people what the apostle
ship meant.
The twelve apostles to be at the
head of the church, among whom he
was to be the first, would have power
to forgive sins and to hold the keys Of
heaven, he said. He went on to explain
that as an apostle he was also high
priest and that he would ordain eleven
other apostles to form a perpetual
priesthood to serve in the tabernacle.
In addition to forgiving sins, this
new priesthood would be final author
ity in all matters, spiritual, education
al and political.

INSANE WOMAN AND HYPNO-
TIED COMPANION FIGURE
IN TALE OF HORROR.
Mother Realizes That Her Daughter
Is Dead and Tries to Stransle
Herself.

PARIS, Sept. 2O.-A great sensation
| has been created in Vancouver and
| thesurrounding country by a story of
| horror worthy of Edgar Allen Poe,
| and in which the central figure is a
certain Nine. Christmann, we'll known
in the locality as professional hyp-
notist and masseuse.
| She had for some months past ex-
ercsed great personal influence over
wealthy widow named Fleury, who
| is stated to have paid her a consider
able sum of money. in return for which
she promised to cure her of an illness.
| Nine. Fleury paid her daily visits
for a month, and subsequently was
prevailed upon to convey her daugh-
ter, who was suffering from an incu-
, IA BILE disease. to the place for treat
ment by magnetic hypnotism.
Praying Over the Body.
AS the two women failed to return
home. the police entered the house of
the masseuse. In room which was
| draped in purple velvet and or
| namented witt; golden stars and moons
with grotesque masks grinning from
| every corner, they found Nine Fleury
saying her prayers.
Near her, extended on a couch cCV-
cred with roses and other flowers, by
the side of which burned two i'm
mense wax candles in silver candle
sticks, lay the body, almost emaciated
to skeleton, of her daughter.
The masseuse declared that the girl
was not dead, but was in a state of
transition while undergoing the pro-
cess of renovation of which she her
self had the secret.
Nine Fleury who showed symptoms
of having been hypnotiZed, repeated
the maSSeuSe's story, and declared her
firm determination to remain watch
ing until her daughters body should
be completely restored.
Dead Twenty Days.
When the doctors were summoned
they declared that the young woman
had been dead for more tnan twenty
days, but that decomposition had been
delayed owing to the body having been
treated with strong chemical solu-
ton.
Mre. F'leury was with difficulty per-
suaded to believe that her daughter
was dead. When at length she did
realize it, she made a sudden violent
movement, and quickly taking a silk
handkerchief from her pocket at
tempted to strangle herself.
She was prevented from doing so by
the doctors and conveyed home.
Both Nine. Christmann and Nine.
Fleury were examined by a specialist
in mental diseases, who has come to
the conclusion that the former is in
sane. Nine. Fleury is, ne stated, a wo
man of weak intellect, who has been
greatly impressed by the others sup
posed wonderful powers.
Both women appeared to have real
ly thought that by lamentations and
the like that the young woman would
have been brought back to life. Both
have been ordered to hold themselves
at the disposal of the police.

Teller County Mine Taxes.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Nov. 19.-The
commissioners of Teller county, sitting
as a board OF equalization, compro-
missed on the valuations on non-pro-
ducing mining properties. The reduc-
tions are substantial. For the year
1901 they are 40 per cent, and for 1902
they are 20 per cent. .
If these reductions are accepted
without further resistance by the min
ing companies. fortunes in taxes are
likely to be paid into the county treas
ury before the end of the year, as there
are perhaps 200 companies owning
property in the Cripple Creek district
and in sections close thereto that have
paid no taxes for years, and that have
been awaiting the outcome of suits
pending, or some such compromise as,
proposed to-day by the county commiS
sioners.
During the last four years, or part
thereof, the matter has been in litiga-
ton. the companies supporting few
of their number in test suits that have
been fought in several courts. One is
now pending in the district court at
Colorado Springs. In few instances
taxes were paid under protest.
