Explosion Awakens Mrs. Hines.

Explosion Awakens Mrs. Hines.
1t is said that Mrs. Hines, wife of
Mayor Richard Hines, who lives al
most directly across the street from
the Lauterbach store, was the first to
fear that something was wrong.
The blowing of the safe awakened
her. and she called her husband. He
hastily dressed, and went out upon
the streets to see what was the mat
ter. There he met others who had
been awakened by. the noise.
An investigation showed that the
noise came from the Lauterbach store.
The entire glass portion of the store
had been blown out by. the force Of
the concussion.
Had Soaped Other Safes.
"A further investigation showed that
the yeggmen had planned other rob-
berries, but had not executed them be-
cause they had become frightened and
had fed.
The cash drawer of the store Of
Fred Beckwith was RObbed of its con-
tents, and the cash register of the
Monogram saloon was also tapped.
The safes in both places were soap
ed, the nitro -glycerine laid and every
thing in readiness for the fuse.
The robbers had laid big plans, but
got away with but little botty. In
the Lauterbach safe they got but a
few dollars overlooking entirely the
sack Of gold and silver coin that was
tSrust carelessly among the papers
below the vault.
6loodhounds Are Sent For.
At Beckwith's only a few dollars In
silver was in the cash drawer. ana
the cash register at the Monogram
had less than IS in ii.
There is every Indication that the
burglars were amateurs and IL 10
probable that they are the same par
ties that made the attempt at Lewis-
ton a few nights ago.
The merchants have determined to
apprehend the robbers II possible ana
with that end In view have sent ba
Spokane for the Draper hounds and
expect them to arrive on the after-
non train.
They win take up the scent ara ex-
pect to run the burglars to cover In
short time. as thee has been no
chance for them to get away.

PREPARING FOR
HOMESEEKERS
Cheap Western Rates Have
Gone Into Effect and
Travel Begins

Local real estate men are begin
ming to look for home seekers. The
cheap westward immigration rates ON
all the trunk lines went into effect on
March 4.
Telegraphic advises are to the ef-
feet that hundred of men and women
are buying tickets in the east prepar-
ator to coming west in quest of homes.
The indications are that westward
travel will be greater this spring and
summer than they were last year when
records were broken.
Inasmuch as Lewiston is being ex-
tensively advertised in the east Just
at this time, the local real estate men
are confident that many of the home
seekers will come into the Inland EN-
pire and the lewiston Charleston val
ley in quest of future home.

, steamer Graf Waldesee.
In London he lived in royal state at
the Hotel Cecil. ~,
Then came the, execution of an
other of the mans great projects-the
purchase of 5000 acres of land at
Wankegan, Ill, as site for Zion City,
and the next day a call upon his peo-
pie for another $1,000 600.
Following quickly on these decisive
steps, Dowie began a campaign for
the regeneration of London He was
jeered and hooted and mobbed. He
went across the channel and met a
like reception. He returned to Lon
don, only to have the treatment re-
peated, and then he abandoned the
worlds metropolis.
..2 Regeneration Of New York.
One of his most spectacular efforts
was that for the regeneration of Great
er New York. October IA. 1903, eight
special trains. bearing something like
1000 of the faithful, headed by the
prophet. left Chicago for the eastern
metropolis. The crusade was to cost
not less than 100000.
Dowie hired Madison Square Gar
dent, but the people would not go to
his meetings He gave up the crusade
and went back to Zion City. there to
be sued by his creditors, another in
dication of the approaching end.
Zion City became restless and Dowie
decided upon trip around the world.
He went to Australia, when he cabled
of great successes in his work. Two
days after his cable message was sent
he was mobbed In Sydney.
Serious Financial Troubles.
He returned home by way Of Eu-
rope. His trip had cost nearly a mill
lion dollars ana had proven an utter
failure.
Arriving at Zion city once more he
found himself IN MnAncial troabie:
+Stili the man kept on. He managed to
rafss s4os.ooo. and had all bankruptcy
proceedings canceled.
last OCTOBER he was stricken with
paralysis while on his way to Mexico,
where he contemplated the founding
of another Zion City. ~
His condition improved somewhat
and he returned to the United States.
but it was only for q short time. He
soon found himself Obliged again to
seek warmer climate.
Before departing for Mexico q sec
ond time he appointed one OF his fol-
lowers, voIiva. who had been his
principal agent In Australia, as gem
eral overseer.
Crisis Fast Approaching.
But the crisis was fast approach
ing. A considerable element OF
Dowie's followers had begun to lose
faith in the so-caled prophet. Scandal
became rife.
The man who had declared he could
do no wrong was said to have urged
polygamy on his followers and his
name was coupled unhappily with
those of certain women OF his colony.

John Alexander Dowie was born in
Edinburg 60 years ago. He spent
several years attending a theological
seminary in his native city and then
went to Sydney, New South Wales.
He was studying the doctrines of the
Congregational church when, reading
his Bible, he began his contentious
that Christ meant to cure the body as
well as the soul. He held that prayer,
accompanied by the laying on OF
hands, would effect the cure required.
He began the propagation of his be-
lief, but became SO boisterous that he
was several times lodged in jail. It
finally became too warm for him and
he went to Melbourne, where In 1878
he set up the Free Christian Taber-
nacle." H u,.
Fever was raging in the country,
ana he began his practice of laying
on Of hands," There was more op-
position and he left Australia.
Goes to Chicago in 1892.
In 1888 he landed in San Francisco.
he had his wife and two children and
little money. Dowie's money getting
ability was soon demonstrated.
He gathered sufficient funds to go to
Chicago in 1892. Then began the re-
markable career which soon attracted
worldwide attention.
It was the year OF the Chicago
worlds fair and D6wie set UP a tab
ernacle just outside the exposition
grounds. The doctrines he expounded
were the seedlings OF those he de-
~eloped later.
They were not new. They held that
o'sease was a very real thing. but was
