Death of q so-CalIed Prophet.

John Alexander Dowie, founder Of
the peculiar sect known as Zionists.
died at Zion City. ILL.,, March 9Th. aged
about rs years. His remarkable or
ganizatiOn. known as the christian
Catholic Church of Zion, has created
a great deal of attention. Ia that 1t
has been built up and defied decent
public sentiment somewhat after the
order of the MOrmons. He pretend
ed TO heal the sick and work miracles.
and laid claims to being u prophet.
For long time he had a great many
followers, building Zion City few
miles north of Chicago. and establish
Ing there a large Industrial colony.
But dissentions grew up among his
adherents. they broke into factions,
and of late years his powers have
greatly waned. His wife and child
rem and those who knew him best
believe that I'm his declining days he
was insane and not responsible for
his actions.

Discussing 2-cent Railroad Fare

According to the opinion of Secre-
tary Barrow. of the La. Railroad
Commission, the commission has the
power to reduce railroad fare in this
State to two cents per mile. Hesays
the power of the commission is con-
tained in Article 2S4 Of the State con-
stitution, under which the commits
sion has heretofore required the rail
roads to abolish their rule Of collect
Ing Accent fares where passengers
failed to purchase tickets from agents.
The commission by the same right
can fix the fare at 2 cents a mile, and
the railroads have no recourse to
avoid 1t. except by appealing to the
courts, and showing the rate to he
unjust and onerous.

Opening Of Western League.

Des Moines. Ia, April 1.-THE ives,
tern League opens its season today
with six teams, Denver playing here
Pueblo at Lincoln and Sioux City at
Omaha Owing to the refusal of the
national baseball authorities to re-
lease Topeka from the Western asso-
citation. St. Joseph which was to have
been the eighth town in the circuit,
will be deprived OF professional base
ball this season. Whether the season
will be a successful one depends to
considerable extent upon the atti-
tude of the Denver fans. George Te-
owns the Denver franchise and
it has been alleged tnat he supplied
the team with CASTOR players from
his Louisville M Kansas City Clubs.
a result the fans OF the Colorado
have practically boycotted
the game and this policy viii be like
ly to be continued unless the Grizzlies
put up a good article of ball. There
is little hope for this. as the aggre-
was repeatedly defeated by low
er class clubs on it's exhibition tour.

Toledo and Kansas City at Louisville,
The season will consist of 154 games,

ayers have effected a considerable re
duction in the salary lists. Columbus

considerably weakened by n loss of
pitchers Berger and Flaherty. The
local nine has been greatly strength
