voliva Named in Dowie's VIII.

Zion City, April 11.-Voliva says in
answer to Dowie's attack on his
brother that his brother Arthur once
forced his fathers name to a note,
served his time and is now living a
Cody life. He says:
81 am named in Dowie's will as his
successor; therefore it is to my inter-
ests personally to await Dowie's
death, which is certain to occur with
in few months at the latest. But
our people are suffering, their finan-
ces being wrecked by DOwie."
''I'll shoot Dowie when he set foot
here" shouted Zionist at the sta
ton at noon. my wife and children
have been starving three months.
He's got $500 of my money. When
tried to get some of it he gave me 81"
It's the bitter feeling of the sufferers
that makes Dowie fear assassination.
Had Dowie come today the frosty re-
ception would have pleased his worst
enemy. Not half dozen people were
at the station in addition to the re-
porters and police. -

ADMITS STEALING THE PURSE.
Purloiner Is Now Incarcerated in the
County Jail.

Walter Arnold son of the late ].
F. Arnold, was arrested this morning
by Marshal Gurdane for having stolen
a pocketbook from a stranger in the
Brewery saloon last night. He admits
his guilt, and is now a prisoner in the
county Jail.
Information concerning the rob-
berry was given to the police this
morning by the night bartender at
the above saloon. Soon after the
marshal located young Arnold in the
Central barber shop where he was
asleep. He was placed under arrest
and acknowledged taking the money.
He had left the purse, which contain
ed about s25, with one of the BARRIERS
in the shop. 1t was delivered over
to the police.
Young Arnold was then taken be-
fore District Attorney Phelps, and the
charge of larceny from the person
was made against him. He was then
taken to the county jail
Implicated Others.
When he was examined Arnold
implicated two other men, claiming
tHeS "ele his pii tiieIs III the EOu-
berry. However, as neither of them
were with him at the time, but were
located at other places in town, it is
doubtful If cases can be made against
them. The name of the man robbed
has not been learned
Young Arnold is but 20 years OF
age, and because of his youthfulness
may be paroled after he has served
long enough in the county Jail to
teach him a lesson.

Natural Wells In Yucatan.

Since Yucatan, where the Mayas
built their strange cities, is a coral
limestone formation, it would, says a
writer in Records of the Past, have
been a barren desert but for it's sub
terranean rivers and the cenotes, or
water caverns, which give access to
them. The Mayas noted the courses
of the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give indications of the meth
DDS employed by the Mayas to reach
their cool waters. In Uxmal a cenote
about forty feet deep is inhabited by
peculiar species of fish. At Bolan-
chen there is a cenote having five open
ings in the rocks at the bottom Of the
cavern. Ladders made by tying tree
trunks together lead down a total dis
lance of 1,4O0 feet, but the perpendic-
ular depth from the surface to the wa
ter Is not over 500 feet.

Cooper Popular
In Nashville

The remarkable work of L. T.
Cooper, who is fast achieving a ma
tional reputation and is now in the
south, has reached it's climax in the
city of Nashville, Tenn. The news
papers of that city and of others in
the vicinity have printed columns
devoted to description of the work
OF his medicines in the cure of va
rious diseases. The people of Cen
trail and Eastern tennessee are
greatly wrought up over the results
accomplished by this young man
through the medium of his New Dis
covery Medicine and each day it is
said his headquarters are damned
by crowds of excited people who
are eager to speak with him.
Many stories, almost marvellous
IN their import, have been told of
the manner in which he has relieved
!ong-standlng cases of stomach and
kidney trouble, rheumatism, deaf
ness, catarrh and other diseases.
The introduction of medicine with
the property of relieving these
troubles has made Cooper the most
popular man in Nashville today. if
reports from that city are to be be-
lieved. The fact that he is a believer
in charitable work and is constantly
on the lookout for some one needing
assistance has but added to his pop
ularity with all classes and made
him almost the idol of the masses,
In the tales told of Cooper's work
and in the articles which have an
peared in the dailies of the citv the
names of many people of respecta-
bility and prominence have been
mentioned.
Mr.. W. F. Anderson, 124 Third
Avenue, North, perhaps the. most
prominent automobile dealer in the
city and we'll known in business
circles, was among those who, it
was said, had been benefited by the
use of Cooper's preparations. Up

LIGHTHOUSE REPAIR SHOP.
Little Building Where Delicate Ma
chinery II Made.

chinery II Made.
In the reservation of the lighthouse
department at st. George, Staten
Island, there is an ugly three story
building Of brick that is the depart
ment store'' of the lighthouse service
in this country and its foreign posses
sions. Practically everything in the ma
ture of a mechanical device used in the
service, from the biggest lantern to the
smallest order Of light, and including
the apparatus for blowing fog signals
and making the lights flash on gas
buoys, is turned out in this place, and
not only sent to all the stations in this
district, which includes Porto Rico, but
also as far away as Alaska, and even
to the Philippines.
The mechanics employed are all men
Of the highest grade, for the objects
they are at work on are too delicate,
as a rule, to allow Of much machine
labor, and in addition to this the gov
eminent has never seen fit to spend
sufficient money on the plant to fit it
out with such machinery. In a stroll
through the workrooms one can see
men turning out the delicate brasswork
that keeps the flashlights on a gas
buoy going for three months at a time,
the curious brass cylinders that make
the wailing cry of a fog siren, tiny
floating stops that serve to keep the
oil from overfowing in the lamps after
the manner Of a student lamp, and the
clockwork that keeps revolving lights
turning around hour after hour through
the long nights.
The only thing they don't make in
this department store are the lenses,
which are imported from Paris or Lon
don. These are "assembled'' in these
shops, however, and one can see Ian
terms Of all sizes in the course of prep
aration, from the smallest size used in
the service to ones Of the power suffi-
Gent to so in lighthouses Of the first Or
der. Of course the department has to be
ready for emergencies in the way of
breakdowns Of lights, as we'll as of
lghtships, and SO they not only keep
two light vessels at the wharf always
ready for instant service, but they also
have in this storehouse an emergency
light that can be put up anywhere and
fitted to take the place of any light of
any description, whether it be fixed or
revolving, red and white or all red
