cAAFFe COUNTY OBJECTS.
Farmer. Do No Want Water Taken 10
Otero District,

Denver.-A Salida special 10 the Re-
publican says: Taxpayers OF Chaffee
county held an enthusiastic mass meet
Ing in Salida Saturday afternoon 10 dis
cuss the attempt of the Otero irrfsa-
tion district to transfer ninety cubic
feet of water from Chaffee and Lake
counties to Otero county. about zoo
miles down the river. There was a
good representation Of ditch owners
and business men and the subject was
discussed at length. A resolution was
adopted condemning the action OF the
Otero irrigation district and urging
the county commissioners TO fight the
attempt when the case is called at the
January term of court.
The commissioners have announced
their intention to fight the proposed
transfer and 1t was decided at the
meeting that each ditch owner should
file a protest, as well as the commits
sioners. 1t was the sense of the meet
ing that the cost of the suit be paid
by the county. II the court should
grant the request of the Otero irriga-
tiOn district 1t would mean the closing
of almost every headgate in Chaffee
county and thus make thousands OF
acres of land valueless.
The resolution also condemned the
decision of Judge Dixon in the Pueblo
District Court In refusing to recognize
representatives from interested parties
of Chaffee county In the recent petition
of the c. F.. & l. Company for trans
fer of water rights.

CATION of oficials accompanied him to

well. There was no public demonstra-

address of welcome, all in the mean
time standing bareheaded.
You have accomplished your diff

you. You have given the credit for
your success to Emperor Nicholas.
President Roosevelt, Emperor William

nations. You have done much.
For ourselves and for those who

words. have performed my duty we'll

ooWIE PARALYZED.
Founder of Zion City Says He Has
Chosen His Successor.

Chicago.-John Alexander Dowie,
founder and upbuilder and chief of per-
haps the greatest independent religious
movement in recent times, is stricken
with paralysis and last night he was
speeding through Texas on his way TO
the new Zion In Mexico.
So serious is his peril that he HIM
self SAYS he may never return TO Hi
nOis.
Cficials in Zion City Friday .aight.
while admitting the gravity of ,ha sttu-
alton. were hopeful that the tIip to the
South would serve to stay fatal ter
mination of the illness.
Though the stroke which nearly
ended the life of this remarkable man
came last Sunday. 1t was Kept jeal-
ously-guarded secret and il was not un-
til the official organ, Leaves OF Heal
ing, came from the press Saturday,
that the outside world learned of the
matter.
DR.. Dowie has made provision for
his death, In that he has chosen his
successor as leader Of the Zion hosts.
The name of this person. however, is
not revealed.
Upceasing devotion to the affairs OF
Zion. its church and its varied indus
tries is held to have been the cause OF
the collapse and that this is the belief
of the leader himself is hinted at in one
of his messages in Leaves of Healing.
DIR. Dowie had intended TO leave
for Mexico with large party Tuesday
of last week, but the stroke which he
suffered Sunday forced postpone
ment. The unwavering determination
of the man never was better evidenced
than when he gave orders to prepare
for leaving Thursday, despite his con
dition.
The leave taking was fearful or
deal for the hundreds who had gath
cred at the Northwestern railroad sta
tion in Zion City at 6 o'clock Thurs
day morning. and who listened 10 what
may prove to be the last words the!
will ever hear their leader utter.

At Yale and a graduate of the East
Denver High School, witnessed the to-
tai eclipse of the sun at Sigueza in
Spain on the Goth of last August. In
n letter to his mother in Denver, Dr.
Tinker says;
About half an hour before the pc
riod of totality. the sky and the land
scape began to grow wan, and 1t bs-
came perceptibly colder. There was
something uncanny about twilight
glow with no long shadows.
When we arrived in Siguenza. there
was nothing left of the sun but a sickle
shaped crescent. like a new moon,
though inestimably more luminous.
Fortunately. the clouds had retired 10
a safe distance from the sun. Sud
denly the black disc of the moon en-
tirely covered the sun, and in the
samem instant the glowing halo of sill
ver-white light burst out around It,.
All round the horizon glowed with
light; while there was brilliancy as
of sunrise in the north, and as of sun
set in the south, with clouds of bright
orange color. The basin or valley, in
which found myself, seemed to be in
credibly expanded Against the dark
