pher Boyles returned home Wednes-

DROPPED BY DowlEl1ts
Woman Who Went Insane at Zion
City Cast Off by the Leaders
Without Her Money

About a month ago Miss Mary
BowlSer was brought to the home
OF her mother, Mrs. Sarah Wilson,
from Zion City, H.. in an insane
condition, accompanied by an at
tendant of the bowie faith. Miss
Bowler, who is ABOUT A years old,
has been associated with Dowie
some six or seven wears. taking up
with the faith before bowie started
Zion City. When she joined them
she had some money and she put the
entire amount into the hands of the
great tinancier, since when she mas
not seer her money. Miss Rowker
went out to Zion City to make her
home at the time that Dowie moved
his headquarters from Chicago and
was engaged in domestic work a good
deal of the time.
Some time in April it was noticed
that Miss Rowker was becoming de-
ranged and the Dowie people didn't
lose any time to get her off their
hands, when. having accepted her all,
they were certainly the ones to care
for her in that condition. The first
intimation that the relatives here
had of her condition was a telegram
received 10y the woman's half brother
L. Il. Wilson, which stated that
Miss Bowker was insane and that she
would be sent here for the relatives
to are for. Mr.. Willison wired i'm
mediately for the Dowie people to
keep her at Zion as they had no place
here where She could be cared for.
After sending the telegram Mr..
Wilson at once wrote of the condi-
tions, and again notified the Dowie-
ties not to send her. They received
both telegram and letter before start
ing with Miss Bowker, but answered
neither. An attendant Of the Dowie-
ties started for Mitchell with Miss
Bowker, and took her to the Wilson
home one night about nine O'Clock
arriving here on the Omaha road.
The attendnt was notified that she
would have to take Miss BOWker
back to Zion City, but she refused to
do so, and after remaining over a
week she went back to Zion
City with the understanding that
she would take up the case with the
authorities and see what could be
done. Since then not a line or a
word OF any description has been
heard from the Dowieites. They
were Successful liz getting rid OF the
poor demented woman and had no
further interest in her welfare. 1t
is understood that Miss Bowker has
some money in the Dowie bank, put
the authorities did not send that
along. and it is questionable if the
family can secure possession OF it
Her insanity takes a religious form
and it was brought OF doubtless by
the excitement in that religious life.
While here She has shown plenty of
evidence in that direction.
A week ago Miss Bowker was adj
judged insane by the board of this
county aud on Thursday she was TAX

making unlawful, any combination
of capital which has for its object
the restraint of trade, or the sup
preston of competition, and it has
fallen to the fearless Roosevelt to
invoke the aid of these laws to pro-
tect the interests of his citizens.
With fearlessness born of honest
conviction and prompted by his
love for his country and, his allie
glance to the trust which the people
have given him, he has assaulted
and broken up some of the greatest
and what might have been the
most dangerous menaces to our
much priced liberty. Perhaps the
most important instance of this was
what is known as the Northern
Securities case, which was move
ment for consolidation Of all the
systems of railroads running into the
northwest. By such "a combina-
ton, the systems would all have
been undergone management and,
without competition, the fixing OF
freight and passenger rates would
have been purely optional. But by
the timely interference Of President
Roosevelt the plan was thwarted
and the interests Of the west pro-
tected by man who knows Of our
conditions and our needs. \
In conclusion Mr.. French said !:
II want to thank you for my
election Of two years ago: 1t was
the proudest moment Of my life
when, at the convention at Moscow,
your delegates nominated me for
candidate for the second term. l
want to thank you for your good
will and to say that / shall always
try to prove myself worthy Of it.
Two years ago I told you that il
} elected I would do my duty, and
God helping me l have tried to dc
i that.
