daughter and was accommodated by
Dowie, who first forced her to deny that
he had nsulted her or her daughter
Mrs. Ware is now writing book on
Movie that will deal with his alleged
secret teachings of polygamy.
"In this book Mrs. Ware will bring
out the Biblical references made b!
Dowie, in advocating polygamy. The
most important of these is the follow
ing:
"'And seven women shall take hold
of one man, saying we will eat our
own bread and wear O,T own apparel;
only let us be called by thy name to
take away our eproach.-'Isaiah w., ].
''AIrs. Ware was communicated from
the church by Dowie and his overseers
after an all night meeting Dec. 81. The
charge brought against her was that she
had slandered DIR. Dowie. Mrs. Wares
friends last night declared that it was
because she had exposed his polygamous
teaching.
Before the meetings of the Overseers
an effort was made to have Mrs. Ware
sign a statement, as follows:
81 hereby declare that John Alexan
der Dowie is pure in thought and deed
and all that | have said against him is
untrue
Mrs. Ware refused to sign such a
statement, but signed one as follows:
81 hereby deny that | have brought
any charges against John Alexander
Dowie'"
Although none of the allegations con
corning Miss Ware at all reflect upon
her, and those in this city who know her
would not doubt for moment that un
der any circumstances she carried her
self blamelessly, her friends here will
be relieved to know that they are not
true and that she was not compelled
to undergo any such experiences.

WANT LAW ENFORCED.
Rochester Saioonmen Send in Peti :
ton to City Council.

Rochester, April 9.-The unusual spec
tacle of the retail liquor dealers of a
community organizing law enforcement
league has been seen in Rochester.
At an adjourned meeting of the coun-
ell, called for the purpose of passing
upon liquor licenses, when the mayor and
all the aldermen except one were in their
seats, it was unanimously agreed to fix
the liquor license for the ensuing year
at $500. The surprising part of the
meeting came when a communication
from the liquor dealers to the follow
ing effect was read by the city clerk:
'sWe, and each of us, do hereby agree
and promise as honorable men, if Ii
cense be granted to each of us, for the
ensuing year, to keep our places of bus
mess closed from eleven o'clock at night
till five o'clock in the morning, and to
close at eleven o'clock on Saturday night
and to keep closed until five o'clock Mon
day morning. We also agree and prom
Use not to sell any liquors of any kind
whatsoever to any minors or posted hab-
itual drunkards, nor to allow any riotous
or boistrous gatherings IN our places. We
further agree to obey the laws of the
state of Minnesota, the ordinances of the
city of Rochester, and the orders of the
executive department of said city, relat-
ing to our places of business"
This was signed by twenty three in
dividuals or firms, Mayor Hebron clos
ing the incident for the time by max
ing the following remarks:
"a year ago we started out on move
ment of reform, trying to do the best
we could to keep these places within the
law. During the latter part of the fall
and the early part of the winter, | learn
ed that the liquor dealers had formed a
compact to obey the law. Now anyone
who disobeys the laws will be punished
among themselves, and besides this the
saloonkeepers will ask the council to re-
woke the license of such person.
Because the retail liquor dealers have
drafted this paper is no sign that the
city will shirk it's duty in the matter
They are now on record, and in case they
violate the law. we have their agreement
before us. These men understand the
consequences The circumstances are
such that this year there will be very lit
tie leniency in this line. 1t remains
with the council to say who will get
licenses"

child who shows the least sign of i'll
health Whenever any cOntagious-disease
is found in the school, the school can be

er to inspect the schools at all times as
to their cleanliness and sanitary cond

SUNDAY HAS EN- COMING.
Great Evane elist Is Doing Great Work
at Austin.

Austin, April l0,-Sunday last chroni-
cled the greatest day ever seen in the
annals of the religious history of Aus
tin.
William A. Sunday, the baseball evan
gelist, has been hurting his red hot in
vectives and burning pleadings into the
1t has been an uphill fight from the
start and Mr.. Sunday has had to spend
more than half of his time endeavoring
to raise the church of the city to a
higher plane, to, as he expressed it, ''get
right with God or get out of the church"
For several days past he has told them
that on Sunday he would raise the mon
ey to pay off every dollar of the in
debtedness and enough besides for the
current expenses for the two weeks yet
remaining. The most sanguine doubted
that it could be done, but Mr. Sunday
has not only made good, but he has gone
IHtlH one DeIlcT.
He asked for 81 900; they gave him
$l,l46.75. He reached the pocketbooks of
the men who had never been known to
give dollar for the betterment of man
kind
1t was a rainy day. 1t rained from
early dawn to midnight, but it had no
perceptible effect on the Sunday meet
ings. Every service was well attended,
and in the evening scores were unable to
gain admission.
In three weeks Rev. Sunday lifted the
people to a higher, nobler plane of Gv.
ing. He has raised nearly $1,000 for cur
rent expenses. He has won SIC men and
women to publicly confess Christ and
promise to live for Him.
At the close of the evening service
Sunday he said: 81 love Austin" Aus
tin has proven that she loves Sunday.

the bereaved husband and parents.

Chief Donahue Forbids Gambling for
Money!

Chief Donahue yesterday afternoon
and last evening visited the proprie
tors of the slot machines that are used
for gambling for money and notified
them that this practice would have to
cease. The machines can still be used to
gamble for cigars and the like, but not
for money.
Chief Donahue was surprised at the
number of the machines in operation in
the city, and had to make the finish on
his swing around the circle today, not
having been able to cover all of the
ground last evening.

MR.. THOMAS ASKS
ABOUT R. R. TAXES.
Campbell Senator Discusses Sub
ject of Inquiry to Cor
poration Commission.
HEARINGS SET
Talk of Mr.. Brenaman Succeed
ing Colonel Button as
Senate Clerk.

Senator A. F. Thomas. of Campbell
when asked last night about the Joint
resolution passed by the Senate re-
questing the Corporation Commission to
inform that body why the apparent diff
ference of one hundred and forty eight
millions Of dollars in Its valuation of
the railroads and the valuation placed
upon them by the Federal census, was
not taxed, said:
Tho OBJECT is to get at the facts.
This difference is too great to allow to
pass unnoticed. II such difference really
exists it means about half million dol
lars in revenue annually to the State
and about million dollars annually to
the cities and counties OF the State.
THE Corporation Commission is a
great institution, capable of doing most
valuable public service. In fact no one
will deny that 1t has done a great deal
of valuable work already and all know
that such radical innovations in govern
ment dealing with such important and
far-reaching questions must proceed with
care, but this is no reason against ap-
propriate discussion OF such work as 1t
may not have been able to do properly.
IT am informed that the roadbeds OF
the railroads are assessed at the same
price now as that at which they We're
assessed many years ago by the Board
OF Public Works. namely fifteen thousand
dollars per mile. The business OF the
railroads has increased enormously, and
the value OF Its roadbed has accordingly
Increased in value. aqd 1t seems to me
ought to be assessed at higher figure"
When asked. If the franchise tax on
gross earnings did not make up for this
apparent failure to tax for full value.
Senator Thomas said:
"There seems to DO misapprehens!on
on the part OF many on this point. There
appears to be nothing in the Constitu-
ton or laws Of the State to allow any
deduction from the ad valorem tax on
account OF the franchise tax.
"a great many seem to think that
the large returns from the franchise
tax are duo to the action OF the Corpo-
ration Commission.
This Is In no sense true. The Con-
stituuon Of the State imposed the fran
chi,e tax, and the commission Is only
tho channel through which 1t finds its
way into the treasury. Besides, II we
admit that the franchise tax should be
considered q part OF the property tax,
we should also remember that the State
gets all OF 1t and no such Offset could
in Justice be made against the right Of
the cities and counties to tax the rail-
