Physicians Shroud Illness of Cleve-
land in Mystery.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland
went for a short drive Saturday after
noon at Princeton, N. J. He was oc-
companied by a trained nurse, who
has been in attendance on him for
some time.
DR. George Carnochan, the local
physician who is in attendance ON the
: ex-president. refused to discuss the
illness of Mr. Cleveland in any way
DIR. Carnochan is merely acting under
orders from DR. Bryant of New York,
who has been Mr.. Cleveland's physi-
clan for many years.
Mrs. Cleveland has gone to the
summer home of the ex-president in
New Hampshire to bring the children
back to Princeton. They are expected
to return in day or so.
A friend of the former president
said that Mr. Cleveland was suffering
from a bad case of stomach trouble
and that the physicians had strictly
forbidden him to eat certain things.
According to this friend, Mr.. Cleve-
land had acted stubbornly in disobey-
ing the orders of his doctors.
Little has been seen of Mr.. Cleve-
land in public way for about a year.
Following an established custom, a
large number of students marched to
his home on the last class day and
were received by him briefly and in
formally. This is the last that the
students have seen of Mr. Cleveland.

Purdue Tank Scrap.

Friday, September 20, has been
fixed as the date for the big Purdue
tank scrap. The fight will come off
earlier than usual this year owing to
the desire on the part of the faculty

mores at the earliest day possible. In
former years the scra' was not
fought until the eve of the first foot
ball game.
Thursday night a preliminary scrap

versity, 300 first year men being en-
gagged. The struggle lasted forty-five
minutes. at the end of which time
rs freshmen had been strung on a
chain and led through the streets of
West Lafayette Early in the even
ing the freshmen organized and wait
ed for the sophomores to come out to
fight. The freshmen were $50 strong
and were led by members of the Jun
TOR class, a rivalry between the Jun
iors and Sophomores beins response

freshmen. The first year men march

Voliva Overseer for Life.

Wilbur Glenn Voliva was formally
elected Sunday to the position of
General Overseer OF the Christian
Catholic Apostolic church in Zion for
life This act was by general eccles-
iastical conference, held in tent at
Zion City, and the vote of 1,262 was
pronounced unanimous.
The formal motion of Theodore
Forby, sub-editor of the Zion Herald
and Voliva lieutenant, had been pre-
pared before the conference met. AS
soon as Voliva took his place as pre-
siding officer of the meeting he rec
ognized Forby and it took the latter
half an hour to read his motion In
it he outlined the history of the
church from its foundation by Dr.
John Alexander Dowie. dwelling at
length on the theoeratic form of gov
eminent. Finally he said:
BE is resolved that we reaffirm the
principles of theocracy and recognize
Wilbur Glenn Voliva as duly appoint
ed overseer and God-given leader for
life, and that we pledge him our sup
port"
In almost the same breath Mr. For
by added: 81 move the adoption of
the resolution"
Voliva put the motion and called
for remarks There were several who
responded and each ended with pray
ing for the Irvine blessing of Voliva.
The full vote was cast for Voliva.
In his speech of acceptance Voliva
that massmeeting would
be held Monday, at which he would
announce his plans regarding the pill
grimage to the New Mexican ranch
where the new Zion City is to be es-
tablished He further said that he
would have to have $4,000 in the
next ten days and called on all his
faithful followers to contribute.
Receiver John c. Hately and Judge
K Nj. Lands did not escape tongue
lashing from the overseer. AS TO
Hately, Voliva declared he knew no
more about business tnan 16 year
old boy. and said his business career
in Zion City, consisted in selling a
few old horses, discharging a few en-
ployes, and giving the Zion lace fac
tories to Marshall Field & Co."
The faction in Zion City affairs
headed by John A. Lewis. named by
Dowie in his will as his lawful sue
cessor, will have a general conference
next week. Numerically it is not so
strong in Zion City as is the one
headed by Voliva, but it has a greater
support from the affiliated churches
throughout the world
