was exceedingly enjoyable and
will be remembered as a pleas

receivership, which by influence of
creditors was withdrawn, and the notes
and obligations extended for a year.
The widest spendthrift could not
match Dowie for schemes to rid him
self of money. It is estimated that
the invasion of New York by the
Zion army cost Dowie $350,O00, and
the trip was flat failure. Dowie
never gave any reasons for planning
the New York trip except to says
The devil is on Broadway and God
willed that should hunt him. The
results are in His hands,
Plans Mexican Colony.
While his people were idle and the
city under the shadow of a receiver
Dowie spent $150,0O0 in a Mexican ir-
rigation colonization scheme which
is now looked upon by his cabinet as
a nightmare. He paid for options
which he could not take up and then
made trip around the world. :: 4

Claim Advocacy Of Po]ygamy.
That John Alexander contemplated
polygamy and at one time threatened
to set the example in person is assert
ed by Voliva himself and by the
overseers. They regard the obsession
as evidence of his state of alteration
of mind. Polygamy, it is understood,
explains the antagonism of Mrs.
Dowie and Gladstone D0wie to the
first apostle
The verse of Scriptures on which
DIR. Dowie is said to have based his
advocacy of polyamy is the following:
And seven shall take hold of one
man, saying: We will eat our own
bread and wear our own apparel, only
let us be called by thy name to take
away our reproach. '-Isaiah All.
Early Troubles in Zion.
During the early days of Zion City
there was much prosperity and Dowie
paid his workers currency. He found
this tedious, and to evade it, evolved
a scheme Of paying by coupons or
script. redeemable "some~ day. by the
central financial government of Zion.
These coupons were issued in enor-
nous quantities and used as a substi-
tute for currency.
This wildcat" issue gradually
drove real money out of the city.
Judge V. V. Barnes, the general
counsel, and other leaders protested
to Dowie against the issue. Dowie an.
swered by keeping the printing presses
working overtime.
The coupons were in time dumped
on Dowie for everything purchasable
in the city: The income from the mer
chandise sold on the outside was the
only real money coming in, and that
was not sufficient. The climax was q

such thing. They never intended that
Dowie should appropriate money for
his own use."

Will Long Be Remembered as
Founder of Great Relig-
iOus Movement.
CHRONOLOGY MAKES INTERESTING READING
From the Time of His Landing in San Fran
cisco Almost Penniless He Has Re-
ceived and Squandered
Millions.

Ch1cago.-Whether John Alexander
Dowie shall in the future, as in the
past, be acknowledged the First Apos-
tie by the members of the church he
has instituted the credit of being the
founder of perhaps the most religious
movement Of modern times must be
accorded him.
Since his arrival in Chicago
in 1890 his rise to power and
wealth has been practically been un-
checked. Except for his unfortunate
trip to New York in 1903, in which
much money was expended and in a
measure the prestige of the church
lowered as consequence of the &C.
knowledge failure of the visit, he has
made few mistakes. The financial
storms which at times threatened the
stability OF Zion City have all been
weathered, if not with ease at least
without disaster.
The events of DR.. Dowie's life that
need recording may be summed up as
follows:
