DOwIE LAUNCHED OUT IN OMAHl
Soon Found People Hostile to His Sort
of Dogma.


of Dogma.
II was in Omaha that Alexander Dowie
made his original claim to being Elijah II
and the faith cure prophet. In the base
ment of the old First Baptist church, Fiji
teenth and Davenport streets, where the
Omaha News company building now stands,
Dowie held forth. He came here from Los
Angeles, which point he struck upon his
landing from Australia. That was in 1889.
He tarried in Omaha three months and
might have staid longer had 1t not been
for the attitude of the newspapers of this
city, which at that time were The Bee,
the Republican. Herald and Dispatch. With
one voice they showed up his quack relig-
ious nostrums and he found 1t advisable
to go to pastures greener and WIDER, very
naturally selecting Chicago, where his
brand of religion fourshed and developed
into its present stage of vigor and health.
Dowie proclaimed himself Elijah II soon
after unpacking his gripsack in Omaha.
He made II up with Rev. A. w. Lamar,
the pastor of the First Baptist church. and
secured the basement of that church for
his meetings Then, as during the later
years Of his work, he regarded the news
papers and their reporters as venal YAM
pires and agents of the devil and excluded
them from his meetings, or thought he did.
incidentally there was a side stairway,
hid IN the dark, which led down to the
Dowie chamber Of secrecy. The foot Of the.
stairs was right close TO the feet of Dowie
when he was preaching to his faithful sub
jects-for subjects they certainly were II
they accepted his dictations-and these
agents Of the devil" in their industry,
discovered this stairway and got on the
inside OF everything. They discovered the
astonishing obligations this self-annointed
priest and self proclaimed prophet exacted
of his followers and the astounding claims
he made to divinity. These agents of
the devil proceeded to show up this sort
OF stun and Dowie soon left town.
When Dowie left he proclaimed that he
would leave behind him Rev, A. w. Lamar
as his agent, Dowie himself being the
agent of God. and all cases which Rev.
Mr. Lamar could not take care of would
be reported to the real faith healer at Chi
cago.
The following Dowie created in Omaha
was so inconsiderable that II disintegrated
very soon after he pulled up his stakes
and cast anchor In a more fertile field Of
operation. The millions he was worth were
not acquired In Omaha. So far as any Of
his friends were able to discover his ex-
ohequer when he left here for Chicago was
no more plethoric II as much so, as when
he arrived in Omaha from Los Angeles

Pneumonia weather.
NN"NWEs
From the New York Herald

tIOnl the ne" 1OTk Herald.
1.-The wide prevalence OF coughs, colds,
grip and pneumonia marks an experience
of severe and protracted winter weather
the like OF which we have not seen for
many a year. The stubborn persistence of
catarrhal troubles is also marked feature
of the depressing influences which follow a
long siege of rapidly changing low and raw
temperatures. The man is fortunate, in
deed, who has not been at some time since
Christmas confined to his bed with a cold
of some sort that he cannot succeed in cur
ing. This condition OF affairs has existed
for months and the end is not yet. In fact
it behooves all careful people to be on their
guard against all catarrhal troubles more
than ever.
March is typical pneumonia month and
gives high rate OF mortality for the dis
ease. one reason for this is that after our
long and hard winters the system loses it's
natural resistance TO cold. Only the hardy
ones are likely to Withstand the strain
and even these are by no means safe when
grip is increasing almost to epidemic man
Hesitation.
1.-THE ordinary cold the grip and pneu-
monia belong 10 the same family OF winter
diseases. Although they may be excited by
different infectious influences, their ultimate
effects are the same when the attacks are
sufficiently severe
An acute catarrh is always the result OF
undue exposure to low temperatures The

In December. 1909 Zion City was placed
under control OF a federal receivership,
which was dissolved week later on
Dowie's presentation to pay dollar for dol
lar OF all indebtedness. At that time Dowie

Eighteen months ago Dowie began the
promotion of second Zion City in Mexico.
While engaged In this undertaking. his
health failed and he went to jamaica
shortly before Christmas, 1906, for his
health. While there he suffered a stroke Of
paralysis, from which he never fully recov-
cred 1t was at this time that he appointed
Wilbur Glen Voliva, his first lieutenant
and general overseer of the church. A
month after Volva took charge in Zion
City he. BY power of attorney vested in him
by Dowie, had all the property belonging
to the church transferred from Dowie to
Overseer Granger. charging extravaganza
and gross acknowledgement by Dowie. At
the time the transfer was made Voliva
called all the Zionists to the tabernacle in
Zion City and denounced Dowie. with the
exception Of less than 200 OF Dowie's former
followers, all the inhabitants of Zion City
chose Volva as their future leader and
word was sent to Dowie in Mexico that he
had been deposed. He Immediately started
for Chicago and took the controversy to
the courts for settlement
Wilbur g. Voliva, head Of the faction OBJ
posing Dowie in Zion City, declined today
TO make any statement regarding the in

Of the church and to discuss his death in
any manner.

from Muskegon, Mich. fer Chicago. The
funeral will not be held sooner than Tues
day.
Statement by VOIiva.
Late In the day Mr. Voliva reconsidered
his determination to say nothing regarding
the death of Dowie, and declared that the
death Of the former leader will not affect
the future of the church m any adverse
manner.
Because of Mr. Dowie's sad mental and
physical condition" said Mr.. Voiya, che

Nothing will be heard but talk of his good

that his mind commenced to fail several
years ago. His death will not alter the
conduct OF the church."
