by the sweetest music imaginable,
were some of the manifestations
which the Divine Being visited upon
Alexander Dowie, according to his
statement on the witness stand before
Judge Landis In the trial of the Zion
City controversy.
Attorney Newman led Dowie into a
long and detailed explanation OF how
he witnessed these displays, heard
the music and once saved ship from
wreck with prayer. His object was to
show that Dowie never was mentally
right; that as a result of his mental
condition he saw these visions and
that. he is not a proper person to head
an institution of the character OF Zion
City and the Christian Catholic Apos-
tolic Church OF Zion
Dowie declared that John Murray
Dowie. who had always claimed to
be his father, is not his real father,
but married Dowie's mother six
months after Dowie's birth. Dowie
declares that his real father was killed
while serving as a soldier in the Brit
ish army.

darOff, who was at the head of the

st. Petersburg. June 16.--The press
hs unanimous in its profound pessi-
mism over Thursdays events in the
lower house Of parliament The situa-
tion Is strained to the breaking point
The attempt of the military procu-
rator, General Pavloff, In behalf of
War Minister Rudiger, to shift the re-
sponsibility for the military execu-
tions to the minister OF the interior
II palpable evasion OF the issue
raised by the house and has echoed
throughout the country. The result
Is that storm OF Indignation has been
aroused and Is being augmented by
the cool attempt OF the government
to invade the inviolability Of the mem
bers Of parliament by Its demand for
the expulsion of M. Ulianoff.
Whether the government dares fol-
low up legally the refusal of the house
to expel M. Ulianoff and its Haunting
Of Procurator Pavloff is now the ques-
tion. Unless the government Is def
fnitely resolved to give battle the Co
remykin ministry must fall into the
chasm between 1t and parliament,
which is now unbridgeable. M. Al
ladin, leader of the peasant workmen
group. openly boasted from the ros-
trum that the death of the ministers
would be the country's rejoinder to
the governments refusal to abolish

LETTER 70 COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN
SEES LITTLE HOPE Of ROOFING
OUT EVILS If THE AMEND
MENT is ADOPTED.

Washington, June 16.-Secretary
Loeb has given out the following sum-
mary of the letter President Roose-
welt wrote Chairman Wadsworth of
the house committee on agriculture
Disappearing Of that committees sub
stitute for the Beveridge amendment
to the agricultural bill regarding the
inspection of meat products.
In the letter to Mr.. Wadsworth
the president stated that almost every
change in the proposed house amend
ment was change for the worse as
compared with the senate amendment
and that, no matter how unintention-
ally, it was, in the presidents judg-
ment, SO framed as to minimize the
chance of roofing out the evils in the
packing business; that the president
felt it would doubtless suit those
packers who objected to thorough
going inspection, but that he also felt
1t would in the long run be heavy
blow to the honest stock raiser and
the honest packer; that the proposed
amendment would greatly hamper the
secretary of agriculture In doing the
work appointed him to do and would
simply defer the day when we could
restore the foreign and Interstate
trade on dressed meat to a satisfactory
position. The president has explained
verbally that he is far less concerned
with the question as to whether the
packers or the government shall pay
for the inspection than with certain
other features In the bill.
COMMITTEES Will Stand Pat.
Chairman Wadsworth of the house
committee on agriculture says he shall
make no statement whatever regard
ing the presidents criticism of the
meat inspection amendment.
Other members OF the committee,
who attended an informal conference,
say the committee will "stand pal" on
the substitute After the conference
with members of his committee who
voted for the substitute Mr.. Wads-
worth discussed the matter with
Speaker Cannon.
1t Is pointed out by Representatives
Adams wis.,, Brooks tColo.) and
Lorimer md, members of the COM
mittee, that the lack Of night inspec-
ton to which the president calls atten-
tion as being fault of the substitute
is provided for in two paragraphs of
the substitute BILL In one place the
language Is:
.Said inspectors shall have access
at all times to every part OF said es-
tablishment.
In another, referring to the inspec-
tfon to be made. the language Is:
During the night time as well as
during the day time. when the slaugh-
tering Of said cattle, sheep, swine and
goats or the preparation of said food
products is conducted during the
night time"
After the conference between
Speaker Cannon, Chairman Wads'

Cannon was asked regarding the sit
uation and had this to say:

Washington, June 16.-The steamer
Empire incident is closed as far as
the United States navy is concerned
and although the United States cruis-
er Marblehead and the Empire are
both still at Colinto, Nicaragua, the
Empire may sail without interference

Commander Mulligan was unable to
get north from Panama soon enough
to prevent the Empire from landing
men and arms and ammunition at San
Jose, Guatemala. Consequently when
he found the Empire back at Corinto,
Nicaragua, without arms and ammu-
milton he vas instructed not to take
any action, because the statute under
which he was acting does not provide
for the punishment of any offense
against neutrality laws, but only for
the prevention of violations Of neu-

Oldest Body Of Human Being.

The oldest body of any human be-
ing reposes in the Egyptian gallery Of
the British museum. 1t is the body Of
a man who was buried in a shallow
grave followed out of the sandstone on
the west bank of the Nile in upper
Egypt. This man must have hunted
along the banks Of the Nile before the
time of the earliest mummied king
which the museum possesses, before
the time of Menes, who was supposed
to have ruled Egypt at least 5000
B. G. There were previous to that
time two prehistoric races. one the
conquerors and the other the con
quered, from which sprang the Egyp-
tian race OF the earliest dynasties. It
Is with these remote stocks that this
man had to do. Considering the condi-
ton in which he was found, it is evil
dent that he was associated with a
late period Of the new stone age Of

teristic neolithic grave, with his neo-
lithic pots and instruments of flint

Meeting his name with that of a rich
and prominent widow on Chestnut
street.
Mr.. De Isle was duly introduced to
| the Widow Bidwell She had no sooner
set eyes on him than her heart began
to palpitate. The poet had come He
looked and dressed the part He also
acted it. Nothing was said of her
dressmaking on the one hand nor of
his oat business on the other They
talked of sonnets and poems and idyls,
and the widow was not in the hotel
dining room to note the quantity of
corned beef and cabbage he got away
with at dinner
There was a fourth notice in the
Clarion. The spurned editor hadn't
much to do with auction bills just
then, and he had time to keep track
of affairs on Chestnut street He had
been told that Mr.. Harold De Isle
was only a travelling agent for a gang
Of eastern swindlers, but he wasn't
going to say So On the contrary, what
he said was:
THE wealthy and distinguished Mr..
De Isle is still with us, and if he has
not won the heart of a Reed City lady
then rumor has gone far astray. The
wedding will probably be quiet af-
fair, and bride and groom may make a
honeymoon trip to Europe
The Bohemian oats man who looked
like /; poet and the widow dressmaker
who really wrote rhymes We're not ex-
actly frank with each other. He never
asked the name of her brother or what
disease he died of. He never asked if
that fortune had come or when it might
be expected.
On her part, she didn't ask in what
part of the keystone State his oil we'll
was situated or what national bank he
honored with his deposits. They read
the Clarion and trusted in each other.
There were more farmers waiting to
buy Bohemian oats and find a crop of
weeds. but still Harold De LisIe lin
gered There We're dresses that Gus
toners We're waiting for, but still the
Widows sewing machine was silent.
The ianguidness and lethargy of look
ing like q poet and being a poet beat
sliding down hill all hollow. The fifth
puff in the Clarion was a send-off.
1.-THE event of the season occurred at
the Methodist church two days since
it read las we have all along pre-
dicted. we have lost our fairest flower.
In other words, Mr.. Harold De Isle
prevailed upon the charming Widow
Bidwell to give him her hand and heart,
and the Rev Mr.. Peters made them
man and wife in a very impressive Ger
emony. The happy couple left for Chi
cago Immediately after, but may re-
turn next week to prepare for the jaunt
abroad"
Ten days later the bride returned and
at once notified all old customers that
business was to be resumed at the old
stand.
Ten days later in a distant state the
bridegroom was talking up Bohemian
oats. They had come to an understand
ing about money matters. They had
understood that each had played the
confidence game on the other and that
they hadn't $500 between them.
Editor Flint of the Clarion and Fer
gus County Advertiser sat down and
and told him what the price for 200
copies would be, and as he found him
self setting it up he found himself say
ing to himself:
''Oh, / don't know. l don't seem to
have so much ache under my vest as
did. l shouldn't wonder if l recovered
from the blow in time"
