CHICAGO, March 1S-Light on the
sensational will left by John Alexander
Dowie was given today by persons said
to be familiar with its provisions The
announcement a few days ago that il
would ''startle the church seems to be
borne out by the alleged provisions. The
most remarkable feature is the claim
that Dowie. who was supposed to be
poverty stricken, leaves an estate OF
$lO.OOO.O0O.
II is said that he made a number of
highly profitable side speculations and
investments and sequestered his fortune
against the day when he should again
resume control
OF this sum the interest on one-third
is to 90 to the support Of his wife. His
son, Gladstone Dowie. Is cut of without
a penny. The residue is to go to Zion.
with the absolute provision that Voliva
be ousted from any sort Of control. IN
less Voliva is eliminated, then the vast
fortune is bequeathed TO certain philan-
thropic and educational institutions.

". A. CR|ETz CHOSEN
TO FILL A VACANCY
Succeeds w. S. Wheeler on
Cambridge School Board.
OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

Cambridge City, Ind, July 31.-The
town trustees met Monday evening and
several matters of Importance were
acted upon. W. A. Crietz was appoint
ed to fill the vacancy on the school
board, occasioned by the resignation of
w. S. Wheeler, who has served on the
board for the past three years. City
Clerk Dirk was instructed to send bills
to the directors of the It. H. l. & z. r.
r., for replacing water pipes, along the
National road through town, which
were damaged by electrolysis. While
no definite action was taken in regard
to changing the position of the high
tension wires through East Cambridge,
it is generally understood that the trac-
ton company will elevate the wires
above the tree tops by means of long
err poles, thus removing the difficulty.
The work of replacing the poles owned
by the city on Main street, will be be-
gun today, and the work of making
other needed improvements started.

IT MEANS A GREAT DEAL.
SIMPLE ORDER ISSUED HAS MUCH
SIGNIFICANCE.
Full Stops at Interurbsn Crossings
Will Result in Much Saw
ing of Life.

Word is given out from Indianapolis
that the steam railroads of the state
have agreed TO bring their trains to
full stop at every interurban cross
ing, and that orders will be issued
accordingly.
That sounds like simple statement
of an agreement, but it means a pre-
vention of loss of life and property
in Indiana. The dispatches are full
of stories of collisions between steam
cars and traction cars, and hardly a
day passes without the manning or
killing of people. Trolley cars are
wrecked and locomotives partially
so.
In order to prevent these distress
ing occurrences in Indiana, the rail-
road commission took up the matter
with the steam railroads with the eff
feet noted.

geant Bard:

few things about life in the army and

FIT. Mead is situated in the midst
of a thriving farming community and
from present indications there will be
abundant crops. Wheat and corn are
in excellent condition and all kinds
of crops are making rapid progress.
Soldier life is certainly unknown to
most people, at least the average per-
son does not realize what the duties
of a soldier are; if they did there
would be a greater influx of young
men toward the army. which includes.
infantry, cavalry, hospital and signal
corps and coast artillery. Our duties
are not arduous. but most agreeable
and pleasant. Discipline is what
makes a man and when once a Young
man enlists in the service, he soon
learns what the word discipline
means. l want to say and say it with
en- 1hasis that I am more than pleased
with the service and would advise
all young men who can do so to join
the army. 1 am in Troop H.. Sixth

BIG SENSATION IN
THE POWERS CASE
Mrs. YoutSey Says Her Hus-
band Did Not Tell the
Truth on the Stand.
CONFESSION WAS FORCED.
TREATMENT IN PRISON WAS
SUCH THAT HE TOOK THIS
COURSE TO ESCAPE SOME OF
THE HARDSHIPS.

Lexington, KY, July 31.-Mrs. Hen
~ E. Youtsey, wife of Henry e. Yout-
sey, formerly stenographer of w. s.
Taylor, during the latter's brief reign
as governor in 1900, and who went on
the witness stand in the Caleb Powers
case at Georgetown in 1903 and swore
that Powers gave him a key to his Of
flee in the state house at Frankfort so
he (Youtsey) could enter and allow
James Howard to shoot Goebel from
there, Tuesday made a sensational af-
fidavit to attorneys for Powers de-
Tense, declaring that her husband was
forced to confess to Powers connec-
ton with the Goebel killing because
of his treatment in the penitentiary,
which Mrs Youtsey describes as little
short of hellish.
Tells Of Severe Treatment.
Youtsey was convicted of compli-
city in the Goebel murder and senten-
ced for life term in the penitentiary.
Mrs. Youtsey swears that she went to
the prison to see her husband, and
that he told her that he had been
fastened up for eight consecutive Sun
days and given only bread and water
to eat. The wife complained to Col.
Eph Liiliard. warden of the prison,
who told her If Youtsey would tell
what he knew of Goebels assassin
alton he would get out, or at least
fare a great deal better. She declares
her husband was given the hardest
sort of work to do and was in a SER
ious condition. She again complain
ed to Lilliard, and he told her Youtsey
had broken the prison rules. Finally
Youtsey broke down and said he
would tell anything to get better
treatment. He then went on the wit
ness stand and swore that Powers
had loaned his office to Jim Howard
for the purpose of killing Goebel
The affidavit created a big sensa-
ton. Little was done at Georgetown
in the trial Tuesday. Attorneys for
the defense presented their affidavit
preferring serious charges against sit
ting Judge Robbins. whom they asked
to be removed from the bench. The
prosecutions attorneys ridicule the
charges of prejudice on the part of the
defense. The arguments occupied
most of the day. Caleb Powers moth
er has sent word that she is coming
from her home in the mountains to
sit by her son during the trial. and
encourage him. Powers smiled when
told she was coming.

OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.

Hundreds of car tracers who have
been employed by the railroads in the
local district for the past year or so
have been thrown out of employment
or transferred to other departments.
1t is likely that still greater reduc-
tions will be made as the advanced
per diem charges and fines for the di-
version of cars have apparently
brought the desired results. Car ira
GERS who were sent to all parts of
the west some months age have been
called home and in many cases have
found employment in other depart

PLANNING A BOYCOTT.

Officers of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers are sending out circu-

planned against teaching telegraphy.
1t is estimated that upward of 1000

Persons to fill these additional posi-

young men telegraphy in offices along

FAIR GAINS MADE.

The Panhandle earnings for months
have varied too much this year to al
low one months figures to have such
significance as to the roads perform
ances, but, taken as a whole. there
have been fair gains in gross and net
earnings during the first six months
of the present year. The former has
been at the rate of IL per cent and
the net at 10 per cent. In previous
years a gain of that much in gross
earnings would certainly have been
accompanied by a gain of Ia to Is per
cent in the net But this year a rail-
road operating in this country which
has been able to increase its net earn
ings 10 per cent is regarded as for
tunate.
