For many months church goers OF

the following prayer:
20, Lord Jesus Christ, we implore
Thee, o. Eternal God, to have mercy
on all mankind, keep us from sin by
Thy precious blood, and take us to

With the prayer the person in re-

monition not to fail to send it to nine
other persons with instructions for
each of those nine to send letter with
the prayer TO nine others. Each letter

This PRAYER was written by Bishop

One person who did not pay attention
to it met with a dreadful accident.

he who writes this will be delivered

The letter was signed: "A Friend"

the method is a clear violation of The

the senders were placed in his hands
he would enter suits. Hundreds of
persons throughout this section have
received the letters.

Washington, Aug. /. - Sixty-four
freight traffic officials of western,
southern and southeastern railroads
conferred with Chairman Knapp and
Messrs. Clements and COckrell of the
interstate commerce commission re-
garding the application of the new rate
law. The principal speakers on behalf
of the railway men were J. c. Stubbs
of the Southern Pacific, w. b. Biddle of
the Rock Island, j.. NJ. Culp of the
Southern railway, and Darius Miller of
the Burlington. They made three gen
eral requests of the commission, which
are summarized as follows:
= l. That a reasonable extension of
time be given them to prepare and pub
lish and file with the commission their
new tariff schedules under the law, and
that the book containing the rates
might be left with each station agent,
instead of being posted at the station.
2. That the requirement of a notice
of so days in change of a rate or rates
be eliminated, particularly as to import
and export traffic. 1t was pointed out
that often tn Sc rates had to be chang
ed within a few hours to meet the ext
gencies of ocean transportation.
3. That the railroads be relieved
from the publication of terminal rates
at points of destination and allowed to
publish them only at the point where
the charges originate.

OF DOWIElTES
IS FOR VOLIVA
Name CT Present Overseer of Zion Will
Be Submitted to Judge
Lands.

Chicago, Aug. Wilbur Glenn Vo-
liva was endorsed for the position OF
general overseer of the Christian Cath
olic church at Zion City last night by
vote that was almost unanimous.
Judge Landis of the federal court will
at once be notified of the wishes of the
former followers of Dowie. and it is
thought that he will appoint Voliva
general overseer without delay.
Judge Landis last Friday directed
that the names of all candidates be
submitted within 10 days and that the
election be held on the third Tuesday
in September. Judge Barnes explain
ed that the purpose of Judge Landis in
ordering the election was merely to
ascertain the sentiment of Zion, and
that if but one name were submitted he
would be satisfied as to that sentiment
and probably appoint the candidate de-
sired by the church.
He then offered a resolution propos-
ing that Voliva be nominated for gen
eral overseer. The resolution received
1,519 votes; one vote was cast against
it, and 5S persons did not vote.
John G. Speicher, overseer of the
church. was ordered by Judge Cutting
of the probate court yesterday to turn
over to Jules F. Brauer, $1S,626.22,
which he held as administrator of the
estate of Frederick Sutton, wealthy
Australian, who died in 1902 and left
