DOWIE HAS
PASSED AWAY
Greatest Fakir of Modern
Times
DEATH CAME EARLY TODAY
SINCE fiE LOST CONTROL or ZION
CITY HE HAS GRADUALLY
GROWN WEAKER-Hls DEATH
WAS A SURPRISE TO ATTEND
ANTS AND FEW FOLLOWERS.

Chicago, March 9.--John Alexander
Dowie died at 7;4O this morning at
Shiloh house, Zion city. There were
present with him when he died only
Judge ID. N. Barnes and two personal
attendants.
II had been Dowie's custom all sum-
mer to hold religious services every
sunday afternoon in the parlor Of Shi-
lob house. About $50 Of his original
followers remained faithful and att
tended these services. Dowie always
wore his apostolic robes and made
characteristic addresses Five weeks
ago these meetings ceased and Dowie
appeared no longer in public. Sunday
meetings, however, were still held by
his adherents
Since that time Dowie had gradually
been falling. Friday afternoon. how
ever there was no indication of his
approaching death. He received few
followers and prayed for some people.
Ills condition seemed to be about the
same as for the last two or three
weeks
One of the attendants remained with
him until midnight and was relieved by
other attendants. Shortly before i
o'clock this morning Dowie became de-
lirious and his talk was the same as at
the religious meetings In the days of
his prime
He denounced the people with his
old time vigor ordered the guards to
throw out the disturbers and acted just
as he had on SO many previous aoccas-
ions.
He gradually became weaker and
weaker and the attendant telephoned
for Judge Barnes, who reached Shiloh
house at a. m. Forty minutes later
Dowie died.
John Alexander Dowie was born in
Edinburg, Scotland. May 20, lS47,
1t has been decided that the inter-
ment will be in Mount Olivet cemetery,
not far from Zion city. The date Of
the funeral has not been decided Mrs,
Dowie and her son are expected to arr
rive here tonight.

Officers Vent Their Hatred on Revo-
Iutionists by Beating Them With
Clubs to Get Them to confess--f1t
Policemen Have Been Killed.

St Petersburg, March 3. An official
Of the report published
In London early last month Of the tor
turing Of political prisoners at Riga,
Livonia, has confirmed the statements
in regard to the brutal treatment Of
prisoners, who were dubbed at the
time Of their arrest and during their
examination by the police, who were
said to have I'm this manner vented
their hatred on the revolutionists and
attempted 10 force confessions from
them. The bitterness of the police is
explained as being due to the ceaseless
warfare waged By the revolutionists
and others on the police during the
past two years, In which period Ill
policemen at Riga have been killed or
wounded, and pitched battles between
the police and the revolutionists are
still OF constant occurrence.
