CLOUDS AT ZION.
Many Questions Of Finance are Troub'
lima People in Sainted City.


Gladstone Dowie has reached Zion
City from New York, having left his
father at Jamaica, whittier he went
with him a few weeks ago.
Officers OF Zion City say his home
coming does not bear on Zion's com
plications at all. They even declare
they do not think Gladstone brought
any particular message from the gen
eral overscer.
AS to the son assuming the rule OF
Zion, member of the triumvirate
SCOTS at the idea.
AS matter of fact, the clouds Of
discomfort seem to be gathering thick
ly over the model settlement and the
murmurings have grown louder since
the arbitrary despotism, by cable, of
Overseer Speicher.
Members OF John Alexander Dowie's
church are discussing practical ques'
tions connected with the funds of the
city-a subject hitherto avoided.
Among the many questions troub'
ling the Zion settlers are:
Who handles the 81 900 a day paid
into the treasury in tithes?
Where are the fabulous donations
sent to Zion from all parts of the
world"
Who has the money raised a short
time ago for the purpose of sending
missionaries to various parts of the
world?
What about the profits from the lace
and candy factories?
Where are the donations sent in for
the schools?
Why has the temple building fund
dropped?
Where are the thousands of dollars
collected for the proposed temple
which, when erected, was to seat 16,
600 people?
What has become of the money gath
cred every year at the feast of taber
nacles, when 1000 persons march pas
a huge barrel and drop in their con
tributions of dollar and upward?

The Shorthorn has from time out Of

provement was laid in Shorthorn blood.
Special conditions have made room for
specialized breeds, some beef, some
dairy, and in obedience to the develop
ment of these conditions the Shorthorn
has either been modified to the distinct
beef fern or turned toward dairy spe-
cialiZation or in some cases abandoned
for the specialized dairy breeds. The

America have no quarrel with the spe-

certain individuals Of the breed that
have been specialized for years toward
dairy production are quite as profitable
