pany, as a result of reducing it's pas

STARTLES HEARERS
CHICAGO MINISTER DECLARES
DOWIE DID PERFORM
MIRACLES.
Makes Statement In Defending tn
''PrOpliet" Against Volivia
and Others.

Chicago, April I'll believ,
that John Alexander Dowie actuall,
did Miracles" said the Rev. William
II. Head, pastor of the Asbury Meth
odist Episcopal church, in his Sun
day sermon, the keynote of which
was a scathing arraignment Of Over
seer Volivia and the cabinet of Zion
for what he termed their "despicable
underhand acts to their grand old
leader"
When asked, after the close of his
sermon, IL he actually believed that
Dowie was able to perform miracles
acts beyond human power, the Rev
mir HEAD replied:
eyes, / believe John Alexander
Dowie not only did miracles in heal
ing the sick, but in other ways. I'm
I'll he became an ultra commercial,
man God vested in him great power
With the advent of commercialism
in his heart he ceased to have contro,
of such powers. If he devotes his
entire effort to religious work
have no doubt he will regain his
wonderful ability. Volivia is a Jul
das-a veritable Benedict Arnold"
Mingled surprise and Interrogation

by members OF the congregation.
when their pastor, Methodist min
lister, Internationally declared him
self a believer in a more than earth
ly power in the founder OF Zion.
There is something attractive in
the Homecoming of the old man.
said Mr.. Head in his sermon. There
was a time when in God he perform
ed wonderful miracles. recognize
his wonders. There is a note OF
pathos which whispers victory for
him. He can expose all the intrigues
planned by his former proteges. The
desplcable underhand manner in
which they have planned to dethrone
their new leader is shameful. Under
his power of attorney this person
volivia--his confidential man, be
trays his trust, and with innuendo
and insinuation stirs up discomfort
and trouble and places himself in
the stead Of Elijah.
"This man Volivia has used his
power of attorney without saying a
word to sick, aged man. and now
the alleged new leaders try to turn
everything into their own clutches.
DR.. Dowie is coming back and there
will be hot time when the old.
white haired man arrives. When
his flock hear the strong, command
ing voice which used to make them
tremblc. they will all go back to him
and open their hearts to him again"

The above brief dispatch from

and is good, but expected news to
Mr.. Speight's friends throughout the
district. Mr.. Speight, who lives at
Mayfeld, was the republican nomi-
nee for congress at the last election.
and by virtue of such has the dis
bursement of good deal of the pat
ronage for this district. He has
been fought hard and viciously by
some of his opponents in the party
ON some of his endorsements and
charges were filed at Washington
accusing him of traffiicing in post
Office appointments.
The department immediately dis
patched an inspector to investigate
the charges, and he was in Paducah
and all through the district, few
weeks ago on that mission, and the
announcement in the above dispatch
is the result of his report.
Mr.. Speight is one of the most
prominent and highly esteemed men
in the party in Kentucky and the
charges were never for moment
given any consideration except as a
source Of great ANNOYANCE. and his
friends will be gratified by the an
nouncemcat today.
With Postmaster F. M. Fisher, MI
Speight has been fighting for the APP
pointment OF A. Downs as postmaster
at Murray, George Bury at Clinton,
and Asa Bodkin, at Bardwell, and
the news today is deemed but fore
runner Of the appointment of tho
gentlemen. They have been fought
hard on the appointments, which
have been held up pending the in
vestigation OF the charges against
Speight.
