End of the Most Spectacular Career
of Recent Years.
When John Alexander Dowie passed
away death ended the most spectacu-
lar and remarkable career that modern
times have known. Gigantic successes
and tragic failures punctuated his life.
Here are some of the remarkable
works and reversals that marked
Dowie's career:
He built a creed; he was excommu-
nicated.
He built city; he was exiled from
II.
He amassed fortune of millions; he
was reduced to virtual poverty.
He elevated Voliva to great power !;
voliva deposed him.
He drew about him thousands who
worshiped him; he died deserted by all
save handful of the faithful.
Chicago witnessed In the course Of
a few years the founding Of cult, Its
extraordinary growth and the sue
ceeding dissenslons which divided its
followers, then the death of Its founder
and first apostle. The work OF John
Alexander D0wie in Chicago began tif-
teen years ago on a foundation of So
called divine healing. He was hooted
and pelted with missiles by mobs and
arrested by the police. Dowie, perse-
cuted and militant. won the enthusi-
astic devotion of many. DOwie, trium-
phant. established like a prince or a
patriarch in city Of his own building
lost the confidence of the great major
ity Of his followers. He died with only

onment In that country for the results
OF "divlne healing" methods.
In 1888 he landed In San Francisco
with n 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 Il
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 bank and
started divine healing" newspaper,
"The Leaves OF Healing" In 1900 he
purchased the site of Zion City, G,GDO
acres of the finest land on the lake
front of Lake County. Ten thousand
enthusiasts who accepted DOwlelsm
joined his colony. The numbers have
since dwindled to $500. Factories,
stores, administration buildings and
residences sprang up.
He declared himself to be Elijah
ILL.,, or Elijah the Restorer, lie sug-
gested the idea Of immaculate cOncep.
ton, but withdrew 1t when he found
his followers were not prepared to ac-
cept it. During the past six years
Dowie had received millions In contrl-
buttons, maintained a private yacht,
toured the world and used more money
than King Leopold. He obtained an
option on a 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
undoing by credulity similar to that
Of his countless followers, Dowie
signed a full power Of attorney, au-
thorizlng Wilbur Glenn Voliva, his
deputy general overseer, 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 Dowle's absence In Mex
leo.
Voliva avalled himself Of the oppor-
tunlty 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.
Mrs. Jeannia DoWie, or, as she is
known to outsiders, Jane Dowie,
Joined Voliva, who Is also aided by
Dowie's son, J. Gladstone DOwie.
The closing hours of DOwles life
were marked by the bitterness Of de-
feat and humiliation. His sole com
fort in his sick room was the negro
guard he brought with him from the
tropics. Stunned by his former al
most idolatrous followers, the old man
chung weakly to the friendship of his
small band Of believers.
The name of DOwie will remain in

The most significant thing In the whole
episode Is Its illustration OF the cray
