MR. WAND AND THE FORUM.

In the Forum last Saturday, under the heading "Mr. G. H. Wand Brands the Lie in Valley News,'" appeared certain statements over Mir. Wand's sig nature which that gentleman says he did not understand the purport of at the time he signed them. This state- ment is merely made in justice to Mir. Wand, who realizes that he did himself a wrong when he signed the paper
Yukon Valley news., 1906-05-09

there is a cowardly and willful lie rest ing between you and the editor of the Forum. Being the accredited represent ative of great majority of the people of the camp does not privilege you to either concoct falsehoods like that or stand sponsor for them when promulgated by your friend. Sincerely,
 SAM J. CALLAHAN.

AN OPEN LETTER TO MIR. LEDGER
George w. Ledger,
 Rampant, Alaska.

Rampant, Alaska.
 Dear Sir: As president of the Ram part Miners Association and delegate to represent that body in prospective territorial convention, you are at pres- ent before the public more prominently than any other individual in this imme- diate section of Alaska. Miners com pose the great bulk of the population and the organization you represent is believed to include great majority of the miners. Therefore you may truth fully be said to be the accredited repre- sentative of the people of this section. Such being the case, your attention is called to the following words which ap- peared in the Alaska Forum of May 5:
 When taken to task by an oflcer of the Miners' Association for tho above [alluding to certain words that appeared In the Yukon Valley News In Novembsrl. and asked for his authority for printing it, Manager" Calla- han pleaded personal inability to dictate what should or should not appear In the colums of the Yukon Valley News. and stated to our informant that is was handed to him and he had Co put it In.
 Now, Mir. Ledger, you are tho only officer of the miners association that l talked with about an article that exccp- tions had been taken to. You are the informant alluded to by the Forum. You are the avowed friend of that pa- per's editor. You know full well that never said anything to you that could possibly be construed to mean wha, the ro<um alleges; but that l told you in unmi.takable language that alone was responsible ior the conduct ot the yu- koa Valley News.
 These ,hing- being facts, Mir. Ledger.

The Cotton Market.

Mr.. w. B. Harris on yesterday
reported an advance of ten points
in the cotton markell The ad
vance for several weeks past has
been steady. though Slow and
the market is very firm. The
reason given IL the lnttrrs sent
out from New York and New Or
leans for this advance in prices
is that spinners both in America
and England are eager to buy,
while there are com paratively
few offerings. 1t is limited by
cotton men, however. that the ad-
vance is the result Of a manipu-
lated market, and that Theodore
Price is heading the bullish clique
that is forcing prices upward.
At the close of business yester-
day afternoon New York spots
were quoted at 11.S0. May fu-
lures in New York at II. 30, New
Orleans spots at II I and May flu
lures in New Orleans at II. 80.
In the local market good middling

RECEIVER REQUESTED
Creditors of Columbus I'm
derwear Company Ask
For Receiver.

Various creditors Of the Co
lum BUS Underwear Company
have through their attorney, Hon.
T. 2. Landrum. filed a petition in
the Federal Court at Aberdeen
asking that the affairs of the COM
pany be placed IN the hands of a
receiver. The creditors repre-
sented by Mr.. Landrum are the
Marlboro Cotton Mills. of Nc
Call. S. c., the Statesville Cotton
Mills, Of Statesville. y. c., Paul
son, Linkum & Co., Of New York
City, and the Refuge Cotton Oil
Co.. the legal domicile of which
is at Vicksburg. The affairs of
the Colum bus Underwear Com
pany have been IN a pretty Dad
shape for some time past, and for
The last three weeks the mill has
been closed down. Bonds of the
concern amounting TO fifty thous-
and dollars are held by the three
local banks, the Merchants and
Farmers Bank, the First State
Bank and the Columbus Insur-
ance and Banking Company, and
and in the application for a re
ceiver the two last named banks
are named as co-defendants with
.ne Columbus Underwear Com
pany.
The aggregate amount due the
creditors represented by Mr..
Landrum is about $4,000 and If
The receiver is appointed as
prayed for it is the purpose of
MS clients TO issue receivers
certificates of stock, which will
have priority over all other in
;lebtedness. including the out
standing bonds, and TO have the
receiver operate the mill. The
concern is one Of the largest of
It's kind in the South, and it is
believed that with ample capital
on which to operate it could be
made to pay a handsome divi-
dend. There was a large mum
Ger of operatives at work in the
mill, and if the concern remains
closed down for any considerable
period they will naturally leave
the city.
The petition for a receiver is
scheduled to come up for a hear
ing before Judge Niles, the pre-
siding Judge of the Federal Court.
next Friday, and while it is not
known what action he may take
it is to be sincerely hoped that
ne will dispose of the matter in
some way that will result IN the
resuming Of operations at the
mill, as it is one of our largest
manufacturing industries. and
we cannot afford 10 allow it to
remain idle.

DOWIE DETHRONED
Spicy Charges are Made
Against Founder of the
Church of Zion.

In the dethronement of John
Alexander Dowie. the First
Apostle OF the Church of Zion,
facts have been brought to light
which show Dowie not only to be
dishonest in monetary transac-
tions but which prove that from
a moral standpoint his conduct
has been disgracefnl. In the
affidavit made by the Zion officials
against the dethroned leader it
is averred that he secretly taught
polygamy. and proposed mar
riage to Miss Ruth Hofer. when
he had a living wife. Miss Hofer
is the Swiss heiress whom Dowie
brought to this country and who
is said to be worth So. 1000, ,O0C.
She spent good part of her time
at Dowie's home, and it is claimed
that the apostle was infatuated
by her beauty, or perhaps by her
money. and proposed marriage.
1t is alleged that on one occasion
Mrs Dowie caught her husband
and the Swiss heiress in darken-
ed room together and that Dowie
was so enraged at the intrusion
that he caught up a figure of an
angel in Italian marble which had
cost him $3.50, and started to
throw it at his wife.
It is charged that while in Lon
don DOwie was very intimate with
an actress named Agnes Monroe,
that he paid a bill Of $3.50 to Re-
fern for her. redeemed $1,000
worth of sables and gave her
S., 700 to bring about his intro.
duction to the King of England.
Other equally grave charges are
made against the dethroned
apostle which if true, and the
men who make them say they
can all be bstantiated, show
him to be one of the vilest men of
modern times.
In connection with Dowie's de-
thrOnement recent special from
Jackson says:
Mississippians generally are
very much interested in the de-
posal of Prophet Dowie, and the
controversy raging at Zion City,
on account of the fact that Dowie' s
right-hand man in his Mexican
work is John A. Lewis, formerly
one Of the leading business men
men of this State, for several
years vice president of the Mis-
sissippi Cotton Oil Company, and
who resigned a position of S12,-
800 a year with that corporation
to become one of Dowie's S deacons
in Mexico.
Although it was generally
known among the personal
friends of Mr.. Lewis that he was
a Dowie convert. profound sur
prise was caused when he de
serted business pursuits to fol.
low the Chicago prophet, and his
friends engaged in some very
general prophesying on their
own account, venturing the pre-
diction that he would soon come
to grief IN his new career, and
that within a short time Dowie
would have all of the Lewis coin,
and the aforementioned gentle
man would have nothing left but
experience.
Whether or not this rather
cherries forecast made for Mr..
Lewis by his friends has been
verified is not positively known,
but as Dowie seems to be very
much up against 1T the inference |
follows that Mr.. Lewis is in the |
same boat. so far as the Zion City |
work is concerned. =
