Chicago, Sept. 19.-Wilbur Glen Vo-
Iva was chosen Tuesday by the people
Of Zion City as their leader by the
Overwhelming vote of 1911 to 6 for
his opponent, A. E. Bills. The cleo
tion was held under the orders of
Judge Lands of the United States dis
trict court, who was asked some time
ago to settle the controversy between
John Alexander Dowie, founder of the
church. and VOliva, as to who should
have control of Zion City. Believing
that the best way to settle the diff
Guilty was to let the people of Zion
City choose their. own leader, Judge
Lands ordered the election and Tues
days vote is the result. The action
OF the ZiOnites practically makes John
Alexander Dowie an outcast from the
religious organization which he es-
tablished several years ago and
which has now grown to large proper

INSURGENTS ARE ovERAWEp.
Landing of sIuejackets Prevents De-
struction of Property.

~~>'~' " 'SfS'Ny
Washington, Sept. 19.-Acting Sec
rotary of State Adee has received a
dispatch from Mr.. Sleeper, the Ameri-
can charge at Havana, concerning the
situation on the island, bat in view of
the prospective arrival In Havana OF
Secretaries Taft and Bacon the con-
tents of the dispatch were not dis.
closed.
1t is believed to have dealt with
the attitude of the Cuban government
and the insurgents toward the Ameri-
can officials and the consideration to
be given their mission.
1t is not known here what course
Secretary Taft and Mr.. Bacon will
pursue on their arrival in Havana.
Commander Fullam of the gunboat
Marietta cabled the navy department
Tuesday that the landing force seems
to have overawed the insurgents and
that there is at present no anticipa-
ton of further destruction of prop
srty. Commander Fullam has 120
oluejackets on the Marietta, $50 on
the Dixie and 900 marines. The first
landing force consisted of bluejackets
from the Marietta and it is supposed
that his telegram relates to this force,
as no mention is made of any troops
from the Dixie.
Information was received at the
state department late Tuesday from
M. r. Spellman of the Colonial Cuban
company, at New York, that he had
been advised of the destruction Tues
day morning of the Esperanto estate
near Cienfuegos, Cuba. The estate
was burned by Colonel Collada and q
band of insurgents. 1t is not known
whether Colonel Collada was I'M
aware of the suspension of hostilitieS
or merely was acting as an outlaw.
All the ships of the navy destined
for Cuba at present are on the sea
and it is expected they will constitute
a sufficient force unless peace plans
fail and intervention becomes neces-
sary.
Commander Colwell Of the cruiser
Denver cabled the navy department
Tuesday from Havana. saying that
things were quieting generally and
the leaders were discussing peace
terms.
General Frederick Funston, who Is
now on his way to Washington under
orders from the war department, will
probably be assigned to command the
army in Cuba if Intervention should
be found necessary.

Brain Activity and longevity.

It takes great deal of brain work
to kill a man; in fact, other things be-
ing equal, the man who keeps his brain
constantly occupied is much more likely
to live long in the land than the man
who leads a mentally stagnant life The
brain not only needs exercise. but de-
mauds il if its owner is to keep well
and medical authorities so so far as to
say that it should never be allowed TO
rest except during sleep. 1t is a noto-
rious fact that statesmen, lawyers. writ
ers. and others who do much mental
work not only live longer bur are far
less liable to insanity than agricultural
laborers, whose lives nre spent under
what seem tc be much more healthy con
ditions.
