TO FOLLOW Dow1E,s PLANS.
Voliva, However, Will Add Agriculture
to Zion City Pursuits.

Chicago, July ALPHABETICALLY reinvested
with absolute control of Zion City, Will
bur Glenn Voliva, successor to John Alex
ander bowie as overseer of the religious
commonwealth on the north shore, will
continue the policies of Zion City's
founder and seek to extend the faith he
established.
This was Voliva's answer to the sur
misses following Judge Lands decision IN
the United States circuit court whether
he would divide the property and sell it
or continue the movement started by his
predecessor. Under the ruling of Judge
Lands the Dowie estate is to be sold to
a real estate firm by Receiver Thomas for
100000. and under a contract with the
firm Voliva is to repurchase it for 5000, 00O
payable in eight years, thus regaining
which he was deprived of when receiver
ship proceedings were instituted soon
after the death of Dowie nearly four
years ago.
With only one exception the plans of
Dowie are to be followed in their en-
tirety Voiva declares. The exception is
that to the manufactures and commerce
of Zion City are to be added agricultural
pursuits, which Voliva maintains are
necessary to the prosperity of any COM
munity.
At the time of Dowie,s death the. prop
erty of the community was appraised at
approximately $50, O00, 600.

EVENING CHAT
How happy could I be with either
Were t'other dear charner aWaY.''
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

How happy could 1 be with either,
Were t'other dear charmer away"
Don't you remember that quotation
beneath the old time picture of a
bashful swain in an ecstasy of indie
cision between two pretty girls?
I harked back to it in mind the
other dav when 1 found a letter in my
mail from girl in a similar quandary.
Il am in great perplexity and wish
you'd give me some good advice" it
ran. There are two men in love with
me and 1 care equally for both of
them. They both have many good
points that like, and 1 simply can not
seem to decide between them, and yet
must. What shall 1 do?''
OF course 1 can't attempt to answer
a letter like that in a specific way
without knowing the men and the con-
ditions.
Nor. even if I did know them, for
that matter. I'm not quite that in
sane.
But for the sake both of this young
person and of any other young persons
who may happen to be in a similar
quandary, I want to tell a little story
along that line that came to me the
other day and quote a little poem of
which 1 am very fond.
This is the story. My neighbor told
it to me. She said:
when / was a young girl L had a
girl friend who was being courted a
good deal by two young men that she
seemed to like about equally. First it
would be one and then the other till
the whole neighborhood was on edge
about it. Finally one day she came to
me and said. Able. I honestly love
both of these men the same and it's
come to a point where 1 must decide.
Now you've got pretty good sense. You
say which of them for me to marry
and I'll up and marry him.
"And did you,'' I gasped in my
eagerness.
SI certainly did not" retorted my
neighbor. 81 just said, Now you look
here If you love both those men the
same you don't love either of them
When you really love anybody you
know it and you feel absolutely differ
ent about him than you do about any
one else in the world
She paused a moment as if her own
words had stirred many memories
NY neighbor is a widow.
What happened?" I suggested.
She came back to her story with q
start, ''Why just what naturally would
happen. The right man came along
and the girl knew him without asking

POISON IS FOUND
Pretty Bertha Benignus Died of
Chloroform.
Chemist Finds the Drug in Her
Stomach.
is STILL A MYSTERY.
Evidence Secured by Coroner
Does Not Help.
Former Witnesses Are Recalled
This Afternoon.

Abilene, Kan, Aug. 27.-That
Bertha Benignus must have swallowed
chloroform before her death is the
conclusion to be drawn from the first
report made by Prof. w. F. Bushong
Of the Kansas State university, the
chemist to whom the stomach of the
dead girl was sent to be analyzed for
poison.
This startling intelligence was made
public at the coroner's inquest, which
was resumed this morning. The pres
ence of the chloroform was detected
by Professor Bushong In the air in the
sealed jar in which the stomach was
sent to the university laboratory. No
test has yet been made of the vis-
cera, itself, but the presence of the
volatile poison in the enclosed air in
the jar was determined not only by
its noticeable odor when opened but
by tests with litmus paper, potassium
1odide and starch paper. The chemist
Is awaiting orders from the coroner
to proceed with the actual analysis of
the stomach.
Professor Bushong's report is the
first positive assurance that Bertha
Benignus, found dead in her bed at
her nome IN Abilene on Sunday morn
ing. August IA. might have taken her
own life. All the other researches
AiAtO lHt lily SlcTy OI the QedIn nave
failed to establish the guilt of any
other person. The session of the coro-
ner's jury held this morning when sew
eral more witnesses were examined
brought out no new testimony. At the
afternoon session Earl Livingstone the
fiance of Bertha Benignus, and Anne
liza Beutell are among those who will
be recalled for further examination.
Livingstone has spent most of his time,

Reuben Fair, the clerk who said he
saw a man lurking about the Benignus
premises on the night of Bertha's
death. and Mrs. Tom Brown, a neigh
Dor woman who testified previously
that she had observed wet footprints
on the porch and window sill of
Bertha's room were recalled and re-

drew any, to themselves. They kept
their own counsel and did not make
public their identity.
Coroner Entz has made no state
rnent relative to the result of the
chemists first report. While nothing
has been said about it, there is no
doubt that further analyses will be or
dered. 1t is felt here, however, that
the discovery of the chloroform by
Prof. Bushong is certain proof that the
girl swallowed chloroform, although
there is no evidence to determine
whether she took it voluntarily or

he was afraid that if the colonel should

new HIGH MARK.
Cotton Sells for $16.9O per Hundred;
Rise of 81 in "a Hours.

New York. Aug. PIT new high
record was established for the sea-
son in the cotton market today when
August contracts sold at 1890 or &c
points above the closing figures of last
night and over s4 per bale above the
low price of yesterday morning.
This sensational gain was due to COW
ering by belated shorts following the
issuance of notices yesterday which
appeared to represent all the cotton
available here for delivery to the bull
leaders, and which left the remaining
short interest without protection.
The advance in August carried the
price above the high figures recorded
in May and July, and the movement
was regarded as a continuation of the
bull deal which began last February.
