DOWlE WAS MANIAC SON SAID
FOR NINE YEARS BEFORE DEATH
WAS INSANE.
When He Began to Claim That He
Was Reincarnation of Prophet
Elijah Was First.

Battle Creek, Michigan.-That John
Alexander Dowie died a maniac
that he was, in fact, insane for the
last nine years of his life-is the
belief of his son, A. j. Gladstone
Dowie, who has just brought his
mother to the sanitarium. Mrs. Dowie
is suffering from a nervours break
down.
The statement from young Dowie
was drawn out by an interview re-
garding the troubles now on at Zion
City, over the terrible issue of oysters
candy and tobacco Dowie has no
sympathy with the colony and says
his father was mentally weak when
he planned it.
when father began to claim that
he was the reincarnation of the
prophet Elijah, in 1900" said Dowie,
I'VE began to see that his mind was
failing him. When he began his work
on Twelfth streets, Chicago, father
worked night and day, preaching,
praying, healing and editing his news
paper. He worked so hard that he
wore out two or three private secre-
taries and finally broke down, mental
ly and physically"

RUSSIAN ARMY TO FIGHT PLAGUE
The Vast Body of Men May be Sta
toned Along Frontier to Protect
Nation From Disease.

st. Petersburg, Russia.-The vast
army of Russia will be modified If
necessary to protect her frontiers
from the invasion of the bubonic
plague from Manchuria and China.
Conferences of Premier Stolypin and
the minister of war were held to dis
cuss the subject of moving soldiers to
the westward and southern frontiers,
following advices relating the further
and spread Of the scourge
Fresh alarm over the spread of the
plague in the East was caused here
by the receipt of dispatches from
Pekin stating that it had broken out
in the inner center and that Budd-
hist priest had died of the disease.
Although the first dispatches de-
clared that only one person had per-
ished later advices stated that the
situation was more serious and that
at least six persons were inocculated
with the plague germs. The Chinese
government has established a censor
ship over plague news following the
fresh and most dangerous outbreak.

HEREDlTY
Can Be Overcome In Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, OF
course, be successfully disputed, but
It can be minimized or entirely over
come in some cases by correct food
and drink. A Conn. lady says:
For years while l was a coffee
drinker l suffered from bilious at
tacks of great severity, from which
used to emerge as white as a ghost
and very weak. Our family physi-
clan gave me various prescriptions for
improving the digestion and stimulat-
ing the liver, which 1 tried faithfully
but without perceptible result.
HE was acquainted with my fam
fly history for several generations
back, and once when l visited him he
said: If you have inherited one of
those torpid livers you may always
suffer more or less from it's inaction.
We can't dodge our Inheritance, you
know
81 was not so strong a believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, conclud-
ed to stop drinking coffee, and see
what effect that would have. feared
it would be a severe trial to give it
up. but when l took Postum and had
It well made, it completely filled my
need for a hot beverage and 1 grew
very fond of it.
81 have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that
time have had absolutely none of
the bilious attacks that used to suf-
fer from, and 1 have been entirely
free from the pain and facilitating eff
fects that used to result from them.
1.-THE change is surely very great,
and / am compelled to give Postum
the exclusive credit for it." Name

TAX ROADS AT OWN FIGURES
Arkansas Legislators May Require
Assessment on Valuations Given
in Rate Hearings.

Little Rock, Arkansas.-A unique
turn has been taken in the fight by
the state upon trunk line railroads
against old railroad commission
freight tariff. Senator Logan has in
troduced a bill directing the state
tax commission to place the property
of railroads on the tax books for taxa
ton purposes at the same figures sub
mitted by them in the federal court
as basis upon which they should be
allowed to calculate freight and pas
senger rates. This would increase
the railroad assessment from $65,OO0,-
600 to approximately S125,OOO,oOO.

WEATHER HELPS PANAMA WORK
January Was a Good Month and g.
772,170 Cubic Yards Was
Removed.

Washington, D. C.-The total ex-
cavation for the Panama canal in Jan
uary was 2,772,170 cubic yards, against

better weather in January, as the to-
tai rainfall for that month was "a

concrete work showed a falling off,
1890 cubic yards being laid in Jan
uary against 150,176 yards in Decem-
Der. In the dams and locks, 544,61O

What fond mother has not, at some

find out when you get older-all you
wish to know will be explained" And
how many of us are still waiting for
the reason, for some one to explain
are we still too young? Perhaps we
are, and again, perhaps we are not
perhaps it never shall be explained to
us; there are things wrapped in voice
less mystery.

CULLOM IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
The Illinois Senator Said No Money
Was Corruptly Used in His
Election.

Washington, D. C.-In a brief
statement in the senate Mr.. Cullom
of Illinois said that never had dollar
been corruptly used in any of his
elections. He declared the people of
Illinois to be as moral as those of any
other state and said they could take
care of their own good name.
Mr.. Cullom's statement was the re-
suit of the statement made last Sat
urday by Senator Bailey of Texas that
if Senator Lorimer had been illegally
elected the same might be said of
Senator Cullom.

Chicago, Ill. - Summer vacations

An advance in summer tourist rates,
both east and west, is being consid-
cred by the railroads and probably
will be adopted. Heretofore the sum-
mer rate has been a fare and third,
plus $3.50. The new rate for the round
trip probably will be fare and half.

TO BUILD MISSOURI CAPITOL
a TWo-CENT RATE WOULD CON.
STRUCT 100000 BUILDING.
It Would Pay the Interest and Estab
fish Sinking Fund of 100000
Yearly.

JEFFERSON City, Missouri.-Missou
can have $5,000,0OO capitol by means
OF a levy of only two cents on the
WHO assessed valuation, it is now fig
ured. Such a revenue plan would
raise money though to- pay interest on
bonds and create sinking fund.
The present assessed valuation of
$1,639,4SS,S5S would yield $927,S97,
the first year on the basis of 1910
assessment. Future assessments
doubtless will be higher and the reve-
nues from the two cents will grow.
1t is believed that the state will have
no trouble to sell bonds at 91a per
cent and $4,000 a year will take
care of the interest on the bonds so
that $152,S97 would go to the sinking
fund the first year if all the bonds
were sold at once. AS that won't hap
pen the chances are that from the
start the two-cent levy will permit
the state to carry 100000 yearly to
the sinking fund and that will mean
payment of the bonds before the state
realizes it.
With the low valuation Of farm
properties the owners of the best 100
acre farms not actually in sight of
the large cities will pay less than
dollar year for the capitol. Having
worked out this much, the leaders of
the house and senate majority, Dem
ocrats, propose to show Gov. Hadley
that he is not the only booster for
large capitol on the job. He said
$3,000,000 was enough.
