THE PASSING OF D0WIE.

Those who remember Dowie
the healer, the Dowie with
absolute sway over thousands
of followers and other tens of
thousands who trusted him
implicitly only a few years
ago, can hardly realize the
radical change wrought in so
short time.
The personal estate of John
Alexander Dowie. Prophet
Elijah IL, who builded cities,
who established big industries,
who dealt in millions and who
held the financial destinies of
his thousands of followers in
the hollow of his hand-for a
while-now proves to be re-
duced to $1,000 of which Mrs.
Jane Dowie has been awarded
$500 as her widow dowry. The
splendid robes of Office have
faded, the jewels have dis
appeared. the hand 9 0 m e
furnishings of his home have
been taken by receivership,
the erstwhile glories of the
founders of Zion are memories
only. Mrs. Dowie's memory
of them has, however, prompt
ed her to demand of the pre-
sent receiver of Zion many
items Of personal property in
Shiloh House, which she
Claims as her own. She has
asked for the furnishings of
her bedroom, for household
articles including a pillow case
containing eleven infant robes,
garments of cherished matern.
al associations. She asked al
so for a mahogany bedroom
set, inherited from Esther
Dowie, her daughter, who was
burned to death. The value
of the real estate no one seems
TO know and it may prove to be
more valuable than is expect
ed. Mrs. Dowie has a claim
on it. She and the son, Glad
stone, are now in the chicken
business on the Michigan es-
tate, Ben Mac Dhui, near Mus
kegon. And so has passed the
story of Dowie."

ing back up the river about
four miles.
AS to the supply of water it
IS almost inexhautible, as the
Otter Tail river is fed by such
lakes as Otter Tail. Battle, East
Battle, Stewart. Clitherall and
many other smaller lakes
which are fed by thousands of
springs. and then a few miles
above the dam the Pelican riv-
er empires her volume Of water
into the Otter Tail which adds
40 per cent more water supply
than the dams at Fergus Falls
have. With all these advanta-
ges as to water and location, the
dam will be among the greatest
power producers in the north
west and the way it is being
constructed it would take an
earthquake to destroy its use
tullness, as the whole structure
is being built Of nothing but
crushed rock, cement and iron
which is almost imperishable.
As to the cost of furnishing
light aud power to the citizens
of Wahpeton we print the fol.
lowing rates according to the
franchise ask for:
Commercial Lighting
A flat rate of three-quarters
cent (Ac) per month, per can

Booze Smashed.

The booze taken at Plains was
smashed last Monday. Nobody ap-
peared to claim the liquor and of
course there was nothing else to do
with itand Judge Seamper ordered
it beok.. County Attorney Sullivan
and H. LlcweEyn Jones had charge
of the case Il appears that this
liquor and some bottled drugs were
shipped 10 Plains to Dr. Nicholson
and that he claims that the booze
was not for him and that the whole
sale house made mistake and
shipped them all TO him when in re-
ality the liquor was for some fellow
named Canada at Meade and that
the Wholesale house had ordered
Nicholson TO take out his drugs and
reship the liquor 60 Meade to the
above named fellow but the officer
got it before he had chance to re-
ship it. The drugs and 4K can
of grain alcohol were not DESTROYED

How to Est

Slow eating will solve ons-half the
problem Of i'll health. Those who suffer
within indigestion and weak stomach can
with care and the'use ofMi-o-na stomach
tablets restore the digestion to healthy
condition. so that they can eat what they
want at any time without fear Of distress
or suffering.
After a few days Of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets. the headaches. dizzy feeling
drowsiness. bad taste in the mouth, coated
tongue. fatulenee. sleeplessness. distress
after eating-all these symptoms OF a
weak stomaeh-will disappear. and per-
feet digestion and good health will be
restored.
Award g. Braden have so much con-
fidence in the power Of Mi-o-na to cure
indigestion that they offer to refund the
money should it fail to give satisfaction.

Something Should be Done

Catarrhal troubles are increasing not
only in Rocky Ford but all over the coun-
try.
Catarrh is germ disease and, to cure
it, germ life in the nose. throat and lungs
must be destroyed. and this can be done
only by breathing Hyomei.
There is no dangerous stomach drug =
ing when Hyomei is used; no tablet or
liquid mixtures whereby the digestion is
often destroyed and intestinal troubles
added to the horrors Of catarrh.
Breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit, its
healing balsams penetrate the most re-
mote air cells, destroying the catarrhal
germs so that quick recovery follows.
The complete outfit costs but Sl.oo. and
Award & Braden agrees to refund the
money should Hyomei fail to do all that
is claimed for it.
