DOwlE DOWN AND OUT.

John Alexander Dowie, head of the
Christian Catholic Church in Zion. -
was Monday deposed as religious
leader, suspended from membership in
the church he founded, shorn of his tenn
poral possessions as far as they are
located in Zion City, the home of his
church, and warned to accept the stu
alton quietly lest worse things befall
him.
Following the sensational action of
Sunday, deeds of transfer were filed at
Waukegan, ILL.,, legally anticipating any
move that DR.. Dowie might make. The
documents turned over to deacon Alex.
ander Granger, as trustee for the people
ofZion, all of the property and interests
of the city of Zion, aggregating mil
lions. Overseer, Voliva filed the deeds.
Dowies wife and son (the latter boasts
of never having been kissed by woman)
sided against Dowie. They say the pro-
phet is insane.

The terrible suffering from star
walton that is being experienced by
the people of Japan aud northern
Russia in Asia is sending thrill
over the civilized world. Societies
were organized to help the famine
stricken people, but the overweebiug
pride that pervades all classes of
Japanese did not permit the true
condition of affairs on the Island
kingdom to come 70 light st fret
They tried to keep their troubles to
themselves, and accounts now show
that the situation is fearful in the
extreme. Iu fact, no tales of famine,
not excepting even India, can COM
pare with the state Of affairs among
these Orientals. Societies can do
little to ameliorate conditions, but
every little helps, aud our people, W no
are among the most blessed and
favored on Gods green earth, shorld
open their hearts-and loose their
purse strings at the same time.

LETTER TO MRssICx 4 GUNBY,

irVington, va,
Dear Sirs:-Do you want to sell Devoe
lead-and-zinc for your town and county?
The whole doctrine of it turns on these
three points:
81 1t is all paint and true paint;
~ 1t is the strongest paint;
90 1t is full measure.
Because it is all paint, true paint, pro-
portioned for strength and full measure.
~ 1t takes least for job;
~ Looks best all the time;
90 Lasts longest;
"a Gathers the trade and holds Gus
toners.
There is no such argument for any
other paint, there is no other such paint;
there is nothing but talk for any other
paint Devoe is the paint, if you want
the facts on your side.
The country is full of experiences; we
bring these experiences to bear on your
trade, if you sell Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co., New York.

tacitly understood that the COM

forward with the amendment, thinking
to gather to the Republican party what

changing the law. 1t should be stated.

says that the split-log drag as road
worker was successfully tried in that
community recently.
The road on which 1t was used was
badly cut up and very rough. A piece
of Sx8 oak timber eight feet long was
fitted up as a drag, and with two mules,
three-quarters of mile of road was put
IN first class order in about hour. The
road was made as smooth as marble
yard.
This is certainly very cheap contri-
vance, and within the reach of every
