Zion City Kept
Its Promise to Paw

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Zion City has
paid the final instalmlnt on the big
debt which year ago involved it in
sensational bankruptcy proceedings
and threatened to wreck the gigantic
enterprise established by John Alexan-
der Doiwe. Checks were sent out to-
day by Deacon G. H. Barnard, in pay
ment of the financial department of
Zion, proximately $140, 900, of the or
ignal Indebtedness of more than $780,
900.
The payment brings to a conclusion
one of the most remarkable cases of ap-
plication for bankruptcy in the annals
of the country. One year ago a num-
Der of Chicago creditors of Zion City
petitioned Judge Kohlsaat for the APP
pointument of receivers for the Zion
institution
Judge Kohlsaat appointed receivers
and they took chrage of Zion. Dowie
protested that he could pay the debt in
year if the receivers were removed.
A committee of the creditors heard
of the argument of Dowie and came to
the conclusion that he was better fitted
to conduct the affairs of Zion than any
other person. 1t was arranged that he
was TO pay 10 per cent in three months
% per cent in six months, and 25 per
cent in nine months, and the balance
of 40 per cent in year. Dowie has
kept his agreement to the letter and
paid 100 cents on the dollar of every
claim involved.

New York, Dec. Io.-Colonel W. G.
Greene, president of the Greene Con-
solidated Copper Mining company, did
not call on Thomas W. Lawson of Bos-
ton to "hold him personallyresponsible
as liar, faker and charlatan," as he
advertised in the paper he would do.
Instead eh explained that he would
see Lawson sat his own convenience.
Wall street was disappointed, for it
was fully expected Greene would pack
his gun and start for Boston. Lawson
waited all day for Greene, then sent a
telegram calling him liar and invit-
ing him to come and bring a revolver
with the notches on it.
Thomas w. Lawson's attacks on
the stock market have cauesed me the
loss of 81 500, 900 in the last two days
trying to protect the stockholders of
my Greene Consolidated Copper mine, "
said Greene tonight. 1T was this loss
that enraged me and made me publish
an open letter denouncing LBwson as a
liar, faker and charlatan.

buildings, two of which are Quilted.
Because of the dense smoke it was
almost impossible to get access to the
burning buildings, and the heat being

In front of the burning building of
Boutelle Brothers there stands street

wires were burned. Only one man is
reported killed by these wires, though
several were stunned.
The confagration is the most disas-

throughout the night. In this condi-
ton he was found on the floor by jan
itor Burge. $500 was stolen.
The wounded man did not regain
consciousness until late Tuesday, when
he was able to make disconnected

Train Robbers
Shoot a Hunter

Portland, Ore, Dec. 13. - Four
masked and heavily armed men wait
ing tonight to hold up the Spokane
flyer on the Oregon Railroad & Navi-
cation company's line at Monavilla
switch, just east of the city limits of
Portland, were met by young man
named Peter Yetter, who was return.
ing from hunting trip. Yetter was
carrying Winchester rifle, and when
seen by the bandits was commanded to
throw up his hands. The young fellow
refused to do so and the robbers opened
fire on him, which Yetter returned,
Yetter was hit in the side and slightly
wounded, and from the fact that he
heard one of the men cry out, "Oh,
God, I'm shot. Joe," Yetter thinks
that one of the bullets took effect. The
night as pitch dark, and Yetter was
unable to see what became of the men,
who abandoned their attempt to hold
up the train.
Yetter states that he was walk ing
along the track and when nearing the
Montavilla switch he suddenly saw the
white switchlights change from white
to green. He continued on along the
track, and when near the light was
surprised to see four men, who, in the
dim light, he could see were masked
and heavily armed, waiting for him.
AS soon as they discovered him the
bandits levelled their weapons on him
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. Instead of complying he swung
the Winchester into position, but be.
fore he could discharge the gun he felt
a singing sensation in his side.
He was slightly stunned by the force
of the bullet, but recovered himself
just as one of the men turned and fred
at him again. Yetter says that he fired
in the direction of the flash and heard
the robber cry out in pain.
The robbers had already started to
run when they fired the last shot, but
as Yetter was considerably weakened
by loss of blood he was unable to pur-
sue them and they escaped.

London, Dec. Ia. The Shanghai

claims to have information to the eff
ect that japanese squadron will soon
start in search of the Russian Baltic
fleet, with intention of giving battle at
point far removed from Port Arthur
This move, the correspondence infor-

recent addions to the japanese fleet,
which increases it to an exceptional
grade of efficiency. A dispatch to the

An officer has returned from the
army before Port Arthur says the delay
observed in Russian preparations for
the gathering the dead during the arm

CONCERNING MILK AS FOOD
Will Suffice for Infants and In
valids, But Not for
Healthy Adults.

Milk has been said to be perfect
food. 1t may be for infants, but 1t can
not be considered a perfect food for
adults Milk contains a large proportion
of water and the person who attempts
to live on milk alone would need to con-
sumo large quantities of 1t, from four
to flvc quarts day. In order to obtain
sufIicient nourishment, says Medical
Talk.
Then the digestive functions. as 10
well known, require food that has a
great deal more bulk than what milk
would furnish. Cattle, for instance,
can hardly be maintained in health on
q ration of grain; they seem to require
certain distention OF the stomach. such
as 10 produced by the eating of grass
or hay. In the same manner man re-
quires the kind Of food that will pro-
duce distention in order to promote per-
iBtalic action OF the intestinee.
In case of sickness or chronic stomach
disease milk diet Is an excellent thing.
But for healthy man or woman to try
to subslst entirely on milk is doubt
full experiment. Vegetables. fruit and
good bread and butter will make a
wholesome addition to the milk diet
and will give to the stomach that bulk
Of food and digestion which seem to be
necessary to perfect digestion.
