DOWIE SETTLEMENT
NEAR DENVER
"Ideal Spot for Colony, Free From
Graft and vice"-Prophet
Ignored.

Denver, Colo, May 30.-Prominent
men have become interested In found
ing second Zion near Denver, and
plans are being formulated for start
ing a colony close to this city which
will be made up of Dowieites who have
become disgusted with conditions in
the Illinois town.
Although the idea originated but a
few weeks ago, when 300 young wo-
men held meeting at Twenty-eighth
Street and Emmons Avenue, in Zion
City, and decided to leave Dowie's
citadel and seek new homes and EN-
ployment in the West A scheme is
on foot to found another city on SIM
liar lines near Denver, and several
men of national note have signified
their desire to join this community.
The famous fight in the church in
volving Volivia and Elijah Ill.,, which
developed such a scandal that the wife
and son Of the second Moses deserted
him, is held responsible for causing
this wide break and determination Oh
the part of the insurrectos to start out
on their own account. Zion was sue
cess from financial standpoint, and
the cooperative theory received it's
greatest impulse since the failure OF
the Ruskin experiment, years ago.
Melvin j. Sowle, proprietor of the
Windsor Hotel, has received letter
from Charles w. Smiley, who is in
communication with the leaders of the
movement. Mr.. Smiley is well known
in scientific, educational and govern
ment circles at Washington, as an
editor, statistician and economist, and
was at the head of the United States
fish commission several years ago.
Mr.: Smiley appears to believe that
there are thousands of men and wo-
men in the country, educated and re.
fined, who are dissatisfied with mod.
ern commercial and industrial condi
tons in the large cities. and who will
join eagerly in the proposed colony.

NATIONAL CEMETERY

Beautiful Condition---First American
Governor New Mexico Buried There.

citizens of this city that the War De
partment ordered the establishment oil
National Cemetery here. Senator
Elkins has always been good friend
of the Capital and as soon as the mat
ter was brought to his attention he
heartily approved 1T and made the
necessary orders. The tract OF land
required for the purpose was purchas.
ed by patriotic citizens and donated
to the United States.
This was in 1891. Two years later
the cemetery was fact; the walls
had been constructed, the walks laid
out the superintendent lodge com.
pleted and bodies of many who were
f., entitled to final resting place in the
National Cemetery had been moved
and reinterred within its limits. From
that time to the present day, improve
ment has been the order, and now the
National Cemetery here is one of the
best kept and most beautiful in the
United States. The fact shat Santa
Fe was the center of a county where.
in many Indian fights and massacres
occurred, and that for long time 1t
was a military post and headquarters
of department and district, rendered
the selection appropriate, and in 1892
the work of construction began under
w. H. Owen as engineer.
On February 2, 1893, Theodore
Joseph was appointed as the first
superintendent and under his admin
istration many Improvements were
made about the cemetery. He was sue
ceeded March 9, 1899, by G. B. Crit.
tenden, who had charge of it's affairs
until March II, 1905, when L. B. May
received the appointment to the super.
intendency. The latter had charge
until November 18th of the same year
when A. j. Chapman, the present sup.
erintendent, was transferred from Fort
Gibson, Indian Territory.
First Interment Made.
The first interments made in the
cemetery comprised nineteen soldiers
from Fort Marcy, killed during Indian
engagements from 1862 to 1866. Later
forty-five unknown soldiers, killed at
| Koslosky's Ranch during an Indian
| fight in 1875, were inferred In another
section of the burial grounds. Not
long after, about 200 veterans of the
Civil War and Indian fights in Central
N. NJ, were transferred from Fort
Craig. A number were moved from
the old Masonic Cemetery in this city
among those being w. F. N. Arney, a

from Fort Stanton. On March 8th of
this year the bodies of twenty-five
officers and soldiers, killed In Indian
| fights in the Pecos River section, were
transferred here from the abandoned
post cemetery at Fort Sumner and
were buried under the supervision of
Superintendent Chapman.
