Starkey was the Democratic candi-

canvass and now that the sentiment
among the voters is that the Demo

Mr.. Starkey Being a taxpayer and
a man of sterling honesty and at all
times willing to stand for the prin-

IN A RIOT
Much III Feeling Shown
at Zion City When
DoWie Calls VoIiva
and Followers Rob-
berS.

Chicago, May 13.-About 1000 fol-
lowers of John Alexander Dowie and
Wilbur Glenn Voliva engaged in a
riot in Shiloh tabernacle at Zion City
during the meeting called by Dowie
this afternoon. While there was not
much blood drawn it shows that the
feeling existing IT, Zion City for and
against the first apostle is being work
ed up to such a degree that there is
a probability OF more serious trouble
in the future.
The trouble began when Dowie, in
the course of his harangue, accused
Voliva and his followers of being
thieves and robbers. John Gould, a
follower of Voiiva took exception to
this accusation and standing up in
the audience demanded that Dowie re-
tract his accusation. This the deposed
apostle refused to do and ordered
Gould to sit down. Gould instantly
refused and retaliated by hurting the
same accusations at John Alexander
as the latter had flung at the desert
eTs of his cause. Gould told Dowie
that he had not been paying debts
and accused him of robbery, in that he
had induced him to purchase mort
gagged property that was represented
as being free from debt
b. F. Morris, one of Dowie's faithful
followers took up Dowie's side of the
personal colloquy and assaulted Gould.
This brought on a general melee in
which there were at least one hundred
involved.
Gladstone Dowie jumped in to the
rescue OF Merris, saying he would
not see follower OF his father get
the worst of il. Some ont hit him

knocking him unconscious, in which
condition he was taken to Shiloh
house, where 1t was some time before
he was revived.
When the first blows were struck
in the tabernacle Dowie sat upon the
platform. He was weak, go weak that
he could not stand.
The paleness Of death was upon his
face. His eyes were lucterloss and his
voice could rot ! ~ > eeycnd the

THE OIL TRUST AND SOME OF
ITS METHODS.

tIS NE ] ftODS.
An amazing story of Standard Oil
corruption and bribery, of the system
attic training of employees to commit
deceitful practices, If not accual
crime, wholesale debauching of hu-
man character-a story that disclosed
business record so black as scarce
ly to be credible in the twentieth Lem-
tury-such tale was told upon
the witness stand in Chicago on Sat
urday before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The story was a
climax of a three days investiga-
ton, during which former employees
turned informers on Standard Oil. 1t
was the day of the independent deal
ers and if the record goes for any.
thing, it serves to even up a long
score in which the debit side was
largely in favor of the Standard OH
company. A former employe testified
that free oil was furnished to any
minister of the gospel who would ac-
cept it and in great many cases the
returns were very profitable, while
another testified about the methods
employed for throttling competition
The witness said: 1T is very easy
thing to make poor oil show up bet
ter than good oil in making these
tests before dealers who were using
other oils. We always selected
lamp with a shallow bowl so the oil
would not have to be drawn up so
far. The cheaper grades of oil are
drawn up to the end of the wick as
easily as the better grades. We al
ways used new lamp for the COM
petitor and an old one for ourselves.
The first thing we do is to dry out
both wicks and then moisten the wick
Of the lamp representing our competi-
WI hS ISoulI VI IulS JIICh Is lldI
when the wick burns down to the wet
point the light diminishes while ours
remains bright. In order to make our
flame show up white, we cut the com
petitor's wick off squarely, making a
thick flame, while we trim ours with
a thin surface, making lighter flame
Both lamps are always placed against
a white background which makes the
whittier flame look whittier and the dull
flame look duller." Another witness
told how he used to arrange matters
in tests so that the competitors
lamp would draw out magnesia from
the oil and blacken the chimney,
thereby heightening the contrast be-
tween Standard and other oils. An
other told about the bribing of rail
road employees to secure cancellation
Of contracts made with other compa-
nies. About twenty witnesses were
examined in the three days and about
all dishOnOrable means that could be
thought of were used by the agents
of the oil trust to throttle competl-
ton and secure monopoly of the bust
ness. And all this was done with the
full knowledge, of the officials of the
company who have been looked upon
until few years ago as being among
Americas leading citizens, but verify
the way of the transgressor is hard.

BAKING POWDER AGAIN.


The Retailers Journal, Chicago,
says that the claims of the 25-cent
alum baking powders :are an i'm
position, both ON the consumer and
the retailer The difference between
the cost of manufacture of a 10-cent
alum baking powder and 25-cent one
is not distinguishable; in fact, it was
stated recently by an officer of the
Alum Baking Powder Association
that they both come out of the same
barrel.
The cost to make an alum baking
powder is about two cents pound.
When this powder is sold at % cents q
pound it would not appear to the
average consumer as high grade
baking powder sold at moderate
price, but rather very low grade
baking powder sold at high price.
The twenty-three cents profit on two
cent food article is not, however, sc
important as the fact that the chief
ingredient of the 25-cent powder is
alum, mineral acid, well known to
be injurious when taken into the
stomach.

Grinnell Herald Though Governor
Cummins won out in Polk county by
vote of about two to one, the result
shows that the Cummins machine re-
ceided very severe jolt. To begin
with, Mr.. Perkins received much
larger vote than his sanguine friends
had hoped for. Aside from Cummins
and Garst, hardly man on the Cum
Minis slate scored victory, and even
Garst has but few votes to the good. :"

CHORAL UNION SCORES GREAT SUCCESS
Superb Rendition Of Haydn's 0ratorio THE
Creation, Under the Direction Of
Prof. Carlo A. Sperati, Capt..
Yates Magnificent
Audience.

Surprised and delighted far beyond
all expectations was the magnificent
audience which packed the Grand
opera house from pit to dome on
Thursday evening. to hear the rendi-
tion of Haydn's great oratorio "The
Creation" by the DEBORAH Choral
Union under the direction of Prof.
Carlo A. Sperati musical director at
Luther College. Every seat in the
house was filled and some were given
chairs in the aisles. People drove in
and came in by train from different
parts of the county, and it was in
deed gala occasion.
The accomplishment of Prof. Sperati
with this chorus of LOG mainly un-
trained voices was simply wonderful,
and everyone expressed great surprise
that such a degree of excellence could
be attained in so short time. With
one accord-th large chorus followed
explicitly and precisely the movements
of his baton, and with clear articula-
tion and perfect rythm, assisted the
splendid soloists, in telling the story
in beautiful and enhancing song of
the creation of the world. The chorus
was unusually we'll balanced. and
throughout the entire evening, did not
fail to more than come up to the ex-
pectations of the audience which
evidenced its approval and delight
with repeated and extended applause.
The accompaniment of the orchestra
was in keeping with the chorus work.
A full orchestra of twenty seven
pieces, with Miss Rosetta Olson at the
piano and Mrs. Jessie Erwin Marsh at
the organ, furnished everything that
could be desired in the way of ac-
compartment, and their rendition of
the beautiful music OF the oratorio
added much to the success of the event.
The soloists were especially good,
Miss Clara Williams of Minneapolis.
soprano, has one of the sweetest and
most sympathetic voices ever heard in
DEBORAH, and the clearness of
articulation and quality of her tones
elected repeated applause.
Mr. Jacob Lauritz Hort, tenor, OF
Minneapolis, gained new laurels
for himself through his charm
ing Interpretation of the character of
Uriel. His pure, sweet voice of rare
quality was never heard to better at
vantage.
Mr.. David Ferguson Colville of ST.
Paul, as Raphael had excellent oppor-
tunity to display the richness and
careful training of his magnificent
bass voice, and did it admirably.
To Prof. Carlo A. Sperati, the
musical director, must be given much
of the credit for the great success of
the enterprise, which is not small
one for a city the size of DEBORAH.
That he is besides an accomplished
musician, a skilled director and sue
cessful organizer, man of energy,
power and ability is proven beyond a
doubt. To him the thanks of the
citizens of DEBORAH are due for the
privilege of hearing such delightful
entertainment and for the high place
attained in musical circles by the
musical depart ment of Luther College.
Following is list of the members
of the DEBORAH Choral Union, and
also of the orchestra.
