MEANS END OF ZION CHURCH
God Almighty Alone Can Choose Lead

Zion City, July 27.--Deacon John A.

If the decree stands, the Christian
Catholic apostolic church of Zion is
uprooted. The church is founded on
The theory of a theocracy and how can
an election held under the laws of

the leader of the hosts?
i maintain that God Almighty
alone can designate who shall be first
apostle. l firmly believe the Lord has
designed John Alexander Dowie to
lead the hosts to the paths of light.
therefore, when a special election is
called the whole fabric of the church
oestroyed. If God designates the
'eaaer, how can man choose him?
As far as his property rights are
eoAcerned they matter little to us. The
great question is that of spiritual con-

ARMY QUA|LS
BEFORE EMPEROR

St Petersburg. July 27.-The reports
of support to be expected from the
army are disappointing and a certain
faint heartedness is noticeable among
the army leaders, produced by fear of
failure in the face of the opposing ar
ray of the governments military
forces.
A section of the constitutional dem
ocrats has withdrawn from participa-
ton in the conspiracy. not being ready
to sanction the opening of civil war.
Half dozen government spies were
found dead in the industrial section
of st. Petersburg this morning. Po-
litical assassinations are increasing in
Poland. Small strikes have been in
augurated in many places. but the
present movement judging from re-
ports, is not gathering headway.
Covering, ugly tempered sailors are
at Cronstadt, and additional soldiers
have been dispatched to that point.

REPUBLICANS HAVE PL ACE0
ABLE men ON TICKET

The aftermath comment on the con-
Vehtion is to the effect that good
strong ticket was put in the field one
not only strong in it's personnel, but
we'll distributed throughout the
county and well calculated to bring
out the full strength of the party and
be carried to sweeping victory.
Nez Perce county since the acces
sion of the new territory from Sho-
shone is by long odds the strongest
county in the state, the normal re-
publican strength being something like
1900 votes.
Attention is called to the fact that
many of the principal places on the
ticket We're filled by acclamation. and
that the nominees are well known and
well equipped for the position to which
they aspire. Mr. Clifford, the nominee
Tor auditor, is we'll known to every
voter in the county who has had oc.-
casion to visit the court house in re-
cent years Mr. Monroe for sheriff has
the same wide acquaintance. and the
nomination of both men is due to their
efficient work before the people.
Mr.. Hanlon as probate judge, Miss
Mccoy as school superintendent Mr..
Crow as county attorney, and Mr..
Briggs and Mr.. Vassar for the posi-
tions they occupy are all renomina :
tions and highly acceptable to the
voters of the county.
