evangelist Reports are that he was
fined 500 and served term of impris-
onment in that country for the results
OF divine healing methods.
In 1883 lie landed in San Francisco
with capital of 500 in his pocket. In
1890 he came to Chicago and preached
on the streets. His followers multiplied
rapidly. Two years later he opened a
larger mission.
Small donations grew to large gifts.
Those who fell entirely under his
power transferred real estate to him
so literally that within four years he
was rich. He established a bank and
started a divine healing newspaper
The Leaves OF Healing" In 1900 he
purchased the site of Zion City, G,600
front of Lake County. Ten thousand
enthusiasts who accepted Dowieism
joined his colony. The numbers have
since dwinded TO $500. Factories,
stores administration buildings and
residences sprang up.
He declared himself to be Elijah
III, or Elijah the Restorer. He sug-
gosted the idea of immaculate concep-
ton. but withdrew it when he found
his followers We're not prepared to ac-
cept it. During the past six years
Dowie had received millions in contri-
buttons, maintained a private yacht,
toured the world and used more money
than King Leopold. He obtained an
option on tract of 100000 acres Of
land in Mexico for a colonization
scheme.
Before he could carry out his plans
he was stricken with paralysis, In a
moment in which he was guided to his
undong by a credulity similar to that
OF his countless followers, Dowie
signed full power of attorney, au-
thorizing Wilbur Glenn Noliva, his
deputy general oyerseer, to make dis
posal OF his real and personal prop
erty. The act was to empower Voliva
to lease lots in Zion City to new con
verts during Dowie's absence In Mex
leo.
Voliva awaited himself of the oppor-
tunity to appropriate Dowie, and, he
claims, to place Zion properties where
the members of the church, to whom
they rightfully belong, may obtain
their rights.

known TO outsiders, Jane Dowie.

Dowie's son, J. Gladstone Dowie
The closing hours of Dowie's life
were marked by the bitterness of de-
feat and humiliation. His sole com

all his vagaries and eXtravagances.
Now that he is dead, it is not inprob-
able that the church will remember
those qualities of his which were ad-
mired by its membership and will for
get all the others.
John Alexander Dowie was a Scotch
man. He had been secretive about his
origin in an obvious effort to prepare
his followers for some announcement
of immaculate birth.

School Of Instruction.

Officials of the Missouri, Kansas
4 Texas are contemplating inaugural.
ing schools of instruction for men In
train service. in order that a clearer
understanding may be obtained on all
disputed points in the Interpretation
of rules and orders. The prevalence
of wrecks and collisions caused by
mistakes In judgment and violations
of rules has led some of the officials
to the conclusion that there Is too
wide latitude inexecuting orders.
The enormous volume of business
transacted during the last few months
has increased the danger from mis-
takes. On account of the number of
trains ON the road, conductors and en-
gineers are compelled to do expert
figuring In order to get over the road
and keep out Of the way of other
trains.
With a school of instruction, where
all matters in dispute could be brought
up for thorough discussion, it Is believ-
ed the results will prove beneficial.
Similar methods are also in con-
temptation on other lines. which have
been suffering from an unusual number
