tional features. On New Years day in
1897 Dreyer was reported to have COM
mitted suicide. Again q few months
later the banker was placed on train
and started for Joliet. Before ihe had
come in sight or the prison walls the
courts had again acted and he was or
dered returned to the county Jail.

cicr. He became prominent III the pub
lie life of the city and held many posi-
tions of trust He was a member of
the library board when the new building
on Michigan avenue was erected and
aided in many other public enterprises.
After his conviction he was confined
in The jail in Chicago for thirty-two
months while his case was being fought
In the courts. He has been confined III

said Overseer Speicher. 1T will work
a radical change in the administration

John Alexander Dowie outlines his

ing, which appeared yesterday. Appre-
clating the gravity of his illness, the

control of the church and its various in
terests in the apostolic college" which

apostolic band chosen by Christ and is
to complete the organization of the
Christian Catholic Church of Zion.
Under the reorganization, the men will
be permitted to seek work in other cities
when there is little TO be performed III
