ALONE, DOWIE DIES

Last Moment-Public Appearance
Ceased Five Weeks Ago.

Chicago, March 9.-John Alexander
Dowle died at 7A0 this morning, at
Shiloh House, Yion City.
There were present with him when
he died only Judge ID. N. Barnes and
two other persons.
1t had been Dowie's custom, summer
and winter, to hold religious services
every Sunday afternoon in the parlor of
Shiloh House. About three hundred and
fifty of his origional followers remained
faithful and attended these services.
Dowie always ways wore his apostolic
robes and made a characteristic ad
dress.
rive weeks ago these meetings ceas-
ed bowie appeared no longer in pub
lie. The Sunday meetings, however.
were still held by his adherents.
Since that time Dowie has gradually
been failing. Friday afternoon. how
ever, there was no Indication of ap-
preaching death. He received a few
followers, and prayed for some people.
His condition seemed to be about the
same as for the last two or three weeks.
One OF the attendants remained with
him until midnight and was relieved by
the other attendant.
Shortly before o'clock this morning
Dowie became delirious. His talk was
the same as at religious meeting in
the days of his prime. He denounced
people with the old-time vigor, ordered
the guards to throw out disturbers. and
acted just as he had on so many pre-
vious occasions.
He gradually became weaker and
weaker. The attendant telephoned for
Judge Barnes, who reached Shiloh

A RANGE WAR IN
NORTH WYOMING
Cattle and Sheep Men Having Serious
Trouble in Owl Creek Country.
THOUSANDS OF SHEEP DISAPPEAR
Masked Men Attack the Hugh Dieksy Camp
and Drive off Herders With Threats Of
ShOOting-Apply Match TO Camp and Kill
Sheep-A Dead Line Has Been Fixed.

Sheridan, Wyo., March 6. 9.-Northern
Wyoming is again threatened with a
range war between the cattle and sheep
men. Closely following on the attack
on the Wisner camp last week, in which
400 head of sheep were killed and the
camp burned, comes the report of a
greater outrage in Owl Creek County.
The Hugh pickey sheep camp was
attacked by band of twelve masked
men, supposed to be in the employ of
the cattlemen. The raiders drove off
the sheep herders with threats of shoot
ing, fired the camp outfit and then be-
gan shooting sheep. Out of a total Of
5000 sheep in the band, 1000 have dis
appeared, supposed to have all been
killed.
The cattlemen have marked out a
"dead line" and the Dickey sheep were
one mile beyond the dead line.
The war will probably spread to
other camps and further trouble occur.

TO PROCEED AGAINST KENNEDY
Reported iniention Of Former Owner Of
latrohe Manuscript.

Richmond, Va, March l2. The pub
lie is awaiting with lively authorizations
the open sessions of the State Library
Board, at which evidence will be heard
regarding the conduct of State Libra
ran John P. Kennedy. The board has
not the power to compel the attendance
OF witnesses other than employees of
the library and it is believed that these
will be the only witnesses to be heard.
The board Is now perusing in executive
session the stenographic record taken
at the recent investigation.
1t was learned here this afternoon
that Librarian Kennedy is about to be
proceeded against legally by w. E.
Nichols, who, representing his aunt.
sold to the librarian the Latrobe manu-
scrlpt-papers on landscape gardening
IN Virginia by the celebrated writer
Latrobe,
Nichols claims that he sold the papers
to the State Library to be deposited and
Kept in the Library, for the sum of fif-
teen dollars. He further claims that
his receipt for the money was made out
to Kennedy, not as an Individual. but
as State Librarian. The papers are at
present in the possession of Joseph
Bryan, of this city, to whom Kennedy
sold them for seventy-fve dollars, pock-
eting profit of sixty dollars.
Nichols asserted today that he had
several times approached Kennedy, af-
ter learning of the disposition of the
papers, and demanded a proportionate
part of the seventy-fve dollars pro-
ceeds. Kennedy, he declares, has put
him off from time to time and had fail
ed to produce Nichols receipt, which
Nichols claims will show that the pa
pers were sold to the Library.
Nichols says that the question is now
one of veracity between himself and
the Librarian, and that he is forced to
take legal steps for his own protection.

Death of Former President of France

Paris, March II. M. Casimer Perier.
ex-president of France, is dead.
Jean Paul Pierre. Casimer Per;er
was son and grandson of statesmen.
His father was minister of the inter-
ior and his grandfather was a leader of
the opposition when Louis Philippe as
cended the throne and afterwards was
premier. The ex-president was born
November, 1S47. He was elected Presi-
dent IN 1894, but resigned after six and
half months. During the Zola trial it
developed that the real reason for Cisi-
mir Perier's resignation was the fact
that his cabinet concealed the material
facts of its policy from him so he nearly
found himself in serious quarrel with
Germany owing to his ignorance of the
Dreyfus scandal. 1t was even said that
the private documents in the Drevfus
affair from the German ambassador in
Paris to his emperor had been abstract
ed and photographed while on their wav
10 beriln and 1t was added that in order
to disassociate himself from such acts
and to prevent the possibility of war
Casimer Perier retired from the presi-
dency.

FULL MAGAZINES ARB EXPLODED.
Rear-Admiral Severely Injured, and Many
Officers and Blue Jackets Torn to Pieces
-Wss-0ne Of the Finest French Battle
Ships.

Toulon, March IA terrible disas-
ter occurred here this evening. The
powder magazines on board the French
battleship lena blew up at thirty-five
minutes past one, and as a result Cap
tain Adigard, the commander of the
battleship, Captrin Vertiez, chief of
staff of the MEDITERRANEAN Squadron,
and from seventy to eighty blue Jackets
are dead, while Rear Admiral Manceron
and hundreds of other men are suffering
from injuries, some of them horrible in
their extent, Naval circles are aghast,
and the public is stunned by the appall-
ing catastrophe coming so soon after
the loss of the French submarine boat
Lutin, in which sixteen men met death.
The entire after part of the lena was
blown to pieces. The bodies of the vic
Tins were hurled through the air by a
succession Of explosions, and the panic
stricken workmen at the arsenal fed
from the vicinity of the dry-dock for
their lives. Some of the men who were
on the lena jumped either overheard, or

injuries.
The primary cause of the accident
was the explosion of a torpedo. What
caused the explosion is not known, but
the powder magazines of the lena were
set on fire, and their contents in explo-
ding practically destroyed what was
considered one Of the finest vessels in
the French navy.
The lena had just undergone final
inspection of her hull and machinery,
the latter having been completely over
hauled, preparatory to joining the
squadron tomorrow. The crew was in
its full strength, being composed of the
Rear Admiral, tweHty-four other Off
GERS and $50 men. The magazines had
been replenished recently, and contain
ed many tons of both smokeless and
black powder, as well as a number of
charges for torpedoes. The crew of the
lena had finished their midday meal on
ly short time before the explosion,
and had dispersed to various parts of

A RENoYATING HINT.

The business of refining a coat,
which is so often necessary at this
time of the year, can be very simply
achieved in the following manner:
First remove half the old lining TO
use as pattern by which to cut out
the new one, leaving the other half
stitched to the coat to act as guide.
The next process is to unpick the
piece of lining which has been de-
tached. Lay it fat on the new ma
terial and cut round the pattern,
leaving enough for turnings. Sew
up the seams, leaving the arm seam
open. Lay the new lining over one
side of the coat, and haste it into po-
sition, unpicking the remaining half
by degrees, and basting the new in its
place, says Woman's Life.
The bottom, front and neck must
now be neatly hemmed. and the arm
holes and under-arm seams sewed up.
Any material which is over should
be gathered or neatly pleated into
these two seams. Lastly, the Innings
Of the sleeves must be sewn up and
stitched in.

that is adapted to all seasonable ma

elbow or full length sleeves. In the
illustration chiffon wolfe, in one of
the new shades that is known as rose

of taffeta in matching color and with
fancy buttons and is combined with a
yoke of cream colored lace over
chiffon. The whole effect is an ex-
ceedingly charming one and the
blouse is simple at the same time that
it is novel. The effect of the lace
over chiffon is always dressy and
charming, but there is ample oppor-
tunity for the exercise of individual
discretion in the selection of mate

any pretty inserted lingerie material
or from tucked or embroidered silk,
