fort or outlay. That is a bait to
which the gudgeons always rise in
shoals.
We may guess, also, that a con-
siderable number followed Dowie
for no better reason than that he
had already got crowd to follow
him. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess. 1t is easy to argue that the
thing must have merit or else such
a multitude would not indorse it,
and thus to add yourself to the
multitude.
Such are some Of the foundations
on which was reared this monu-
mental fraud. Such were some of

1t seems pitiful and incredible

A good share of the Dowieites,
dare say, were drawn from this
class. Dowie's monstrous asser.
tions of miraculous power easily
made them his prey.
Many others were made captive

GUS egotism. One who asserts him.
self vehemently enough can have a
considerable portion of his fellow
men at his feet. The more auda-
cious and preposterous his demands
the more prompt and abject is their
submission. They are made to be
dominated, and are never quite
happy until they are the thralls of
some masterful will. We call this
hypotism, but the new word repre-
sents fact as old as history; it is
the subjugations of weak Wills by
strong ones.
Not a few, no doubt, were cap
tured by Dowie's impossible eco
Monies. He had a gold brick to
sell, and the market is always full
of buyers. He was going to give
you something for nothing, or next
to nothing: to guarantee you all

They will not answer. Probably
most of them could not. They now

BY Or. Washington GLADDEN.,

The marvel is not that John
Alexander Dowie has come down,
but that he kept on his pedestal so
long.
His followers now with one voice
repudiate and denounce him; even
his wife joins in the cry. They tell
him that he is hypocrite and vari-
Gus other kinds of unlovely things,
and strongly intimate that he
knows it himself. They wash their
hands of him forever.

who does his own thinking, has
ever had any doubt about him. He
is an intellectual and moral mon

FEEHAN, SUCCESSOR
OF D0LAN, A Conner

PITTSBURG, April 12.-Franl
Feehan, the newly elected presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers
of Western Pennsylvania, who sue
ceeds Patrick Dolan, is looked upon
as one of the coming labor leaders
of the country. Thirtytwo years
of age, with practically no previous
experience in dealing with big la.
Dor questions, upon his shoulders
will fall the brunt of the battle of
100000 coal miners Of this district.
Twice he was delegate to con-
ventions at Indianapolis, and there
laid the foundation of his popular
ity by his advocacy of principles
high in the esteem of the miners,
Feehan's career has been mould
ed closely after that of John Nit
chell. He was born in Wishaw,
Landarkshire, Scotland, Aug. "a,
1874 He came to this country with
his parents when Z years old. AT
ter a few months at school young
Feehan was put to work digging
coal. He has held every position
in a coal mine except mine boss.
When old enough, he Joined the
United Mine Workers.
Several years ago Feehan almost
wrecked his career by becoming a
disciple of Emma Goldman, whom
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1906-04-12

he heard speak at Fayette City.
Saturated with socialistic ideas, he
attempted to break up several To-
Gals Of the mine workers in the vi
entity of Fayette City. But then
his better judgment saved him
from the socialistic pitfalls.
Feehan's chief recreation Is
found in athletic sports, and he is
a firstclass ball player.

Little Ice Gathered.

Melting under the touch of the spring
like weather of the last Jews days the ics
which has covered the river at Burling
ton during the past month has now entire
ly disappeared and all hopes of the ICE
men of harvesting crop this year have
been blasted.
Compare with the season of the past ten
or twenty years, the winter has been most
remarkable for its mildness. Silent proofs
of this are the scores of empty ice houses
along both shores of the Delaware between
Camden and Trenton. Last winter the
river was frozen over for nearly two
months and many of these houses were
filled with high quality of ice before
Christmas. and in some places hundreds
of tons of ice were cut and piled along the
shore and later carted away to I'LL ice
houses 10 the inland towns.
Practically no ice at all has been taken
from the river this season. and what little
has been gathered in this vicinity has
been cut from small ponds In the country
districts. The supply thus secured has
been small. however, and the indications
are that the larger cities in'this section of
the state will have an ice famine this
summer unless supplied with the product
from outsids sources.
With the disappearance of the ice foes
the river boats, which temporarily sus
pended their schedule for a short time as
matter of precaution. rather than
necessity, have now resumed their trips
between Philadelphia and Bristol. The
general thaw accompanied by the heavy
rains throughout the State in the early
part of last week has turned the Delaware
into turbid stream, filthy with mud and
decayed vegetable matter.
As a matter of precaution against sick
ness hundreds of the residents of Burling-
ton are boiling the chocolate colored fluid
which is being served to them as drinking
water, and the movement for the establish.
ment of filtering plant at the local water
works is again being agitated.

which may have some bearing on the case

along the road near Small's home, saw q
bag in wooden trunk or drain. Knowing
the interest taken in the case by John Du-
gan, Preston at once notified the latter and
the two went to the place and pulled the

spots will be made.
When johnson made his statement i'm

to get something to eat and came back
with a lot of sausages. johnson said
Small went to the house of farmer near
by with intention of buying the meat, but
as nobody was at home and the sausages
were lying on table, Small gathered
them up and went home with them.
Small denied this and said he found the
sausages in his chicken house. He told a
neighbor of the find and asked what he
should do with them and was advised to
bury them. He said he did SO. This
part of his story was corroborated yester-
day when Detective Parker found IA links
