CALLS vOL|vA TRAITOR TO HER
She Declares that She is Not Seeking
to Recover Material Things in Life
but to Succeed Her Husband as
Spiritual Leader.

Leaving the quiet, peaceful atmos
phere of the beautiful country sur
rounding Ben MacDhui on White Lake
in the restful pines of Michigan; where
she grieved alone and in dire circum
stances since fate robbed her of hel
husband, Mrs. Jane Dowie, widow
of John Alexander Dowie, is start
ing life all over again in Chicago, t.
reclaim the kingdom that once was hers
81 did not came back for the materia
things Of life, / don't care whether
ever recover them, but [ did come back
to gather the scattered members that
my husband and [ used to gathe,
into a spiritual brotherhood, where we
can work together once more for each
others good.''
This woman, whom Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, overseer at Zion City, has at.
tackled in yelled speeches, forgives him
and all others, who, she says, helped
to reduce her almost to poverty and
want.
"Voliva is a traitor and it is impos.
sible to think Of him, he is so change
able," she said. 81 am relying on
God to direct me in matters pertaining
to Zion CITY. I have suffered so much
in the past FIVE years that I do not
know whether it would be good for me
to go to Zion City. It would recall too
many old cruelties of my life.
"Voliva doesn It think a woman has a
right to do anything but stay in the
home, according to his statements, but
[ wonder how he reconciles his state
ments to such women as Jane Adams.
Ii he means to insinuate that can It
keep house I respectfully refer him
to forty people whom I boarded and
housed one summer in order to make
la living. IA
II worked hard in my home and al
ways will, bnt have purpose in life.
| came to Chicago to fulfill that pur-
pose, as | honestly believed God intend
ed me to do. am not fully satisfied
yet as to what all the purpose was, but
l am here.'
Now IS years of age, Mrs. Dowie
has retained her health to a remark able
degree, despite the fact that she has
been victim of much illness. There
is not a gray hair in her head and her
figure is graceful. She has a kindly
welcome to extend to all and a soft,
pleasing voice, with just the hint of
Scotch accent, although she was born
in Australia.
II believe that I am Amounted and
can heal through prayer, because have
faith in prayer is her simple creed.
81 have started with small follow.
ing in Handel hall, but who knows but
that | may again have following as
large as my husband and I aad in the
old days.
II am satisfied with whatever God
sees fit to give me. | will teach people
to live clean lives, to give up smoking
and drinking and similar habits.
81 will get church if conditions
make it necessary, and I have the
funds, likewise / may start new CITY
but now | am not thinking of these
things

GooDIN IS GOOD SHOT.
Commander at Fort I,eavenworth Has
Score Above 80.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 26.-
Among the new arrivals noted at the
post is Lieutenant Colonel James A.
Goodin, Seventh infantry. Upon the
departure of the Thirteenth infantry
for the islands, next month, Colonel
Goodin will become the senior officer
of the line of duty at the post and its
commander, pending the arrival of
Colonel Daniel Cormann, the COM
mander of the incoming Seventh in
fantry-
Fort Leavenworth is not a strange
reservation to Colonel Goodin, who,
during the eighties, was a frequent
visitor here.
Colonel Goodin was somewhat of a
marksman in the days of his sub
alternship. His reputation was not
confined to his regiment, but included
the entire army. The Fort Leaven-
worth rife range is familiar ground to
the colonel. He knows all about wind
age on the range. If there are any
gold and silver medals issued by the
government for excellence in marks
manship Of which the colonel did not
receive a goodly share, his friends are
unaware of it.
The colonel became a sharpshoote
in 1885, standing fifth in the entire
army with a score above 90 per cent
at all ranges He continued in this
class until 1889. when he was trans
ferred to the distinguished marksmen
class.

Governor Investigates Lid Con-
ditions at LeaVenwoI sh.
Says He Has Bad Reports on
Liquor Situation.
CHG ONES" FAVOREI
Little Joints Raided by City and
County Officers.
Attorney General barely Left
Before Stubbs Arrived.

Leavenworth, Kan. Aug. 26.-'T un-
derstand that the liquor situation in
Leavenworth has been pretty bad dur
ing the last few weeks. I hear also
that the smaller joints and poor boot
leggers are being raided and that the
bigger places are unmolested. Do you
know anything about it?"
That is the way in which Governor
Stubbs came back at a newspaper
man who tried to interview him. The
governor came from Topeka to visit
Warden J. K Codding, to inspect the
state prison and discuss its manage
ment.
Attorney General Dawson finished an
investigation here Monday but the gov
ernor evidently seeks his own infor-
nation.
Just as soon as 1 find time 1 am
going to look into the situation" con-
tinued the Kansas executive, land see
if it can1-- be bettered. We have pretty
well cleaned up Cherokee and Crawford
counties and 1 really believe that Craw-
ford county is the driest in the state. !"
Governor Stubbs is exceedingly proud
of the management Of the state prison
and is well pleased with the work that
Warden Codding is doing there
Mr.. Stubbs is firm in his denial that
his controversy with Attorney General
John s. Dawson has been sham and
a farce.
ut has been reported in different pa
he said, but want to tell you that it
isn't. It will be settled at the next
session of the state supreme court
Didn't Mr.. Dawson make the state
ment that House was mist AIKEN as to
the kind of beverage he drank and that
it was really near-beer?" the governor
was asked.
"I believe he did. but House came
back and said that he knew what it
was that he drank and it was stronger
than near-beer." And Mr.. Stubbs laugh
ed heartily as if the affair was joke
The governor refused to discuss the
state political situation in any way.
He would not even venture an opinion
on the coming campaign Of 1912.

Solomon Will Buy WaterwOrks
With Police Fines.
Bonds for Light Proposition
Beaten at Election.
EVERYONE MUST PAY
FarmerWhO Cussed Melon Steal
ers Hailed Into Court.
Former Wide Open Town Now
Afflicted With Goodness.

Solomon, Kan. Aug. 26-It hasn't
been so many years ago that the wild
and untamed COW man abounded near
this little city. The time when the
town was occasionally shot up by u
left over from the band of bad men
who moved west and south is still less
olstant- And even in the last few years
OF goodness when the rest of the srs re
was dressed up in its best clothes and
behaving itself painfully we'll Solomon
was of the wide open order.
But now all is changed And the
reason is that Solomon wants an cleo
trio light plant. 1t also wants a water
works plant And the city is going to
get them without issuing bonds to pay
for the pair of public utilities.
Law Enforcement Comes.
The law enforcement wave is the di-
rect outgrowth of a fight between the
TWO FACTIONS into which the town di-
V1ded as a result over the proposition
to issue bonds for the purpose of erect
Ing WaterwOrks plant and an electric
lght plant. Long and earnestly the
residents of the one time wide open
town fought over the proposition. The
bonds were beaten.
But the fight did not stop there.
Each faction watched every act of eacn
member of the opposing faction.
whenever the law was violated in any
way an arrest resulted. Officers try
ing the cases grew weary of the con-
I'm 1Inued litigation and no end in sight.
Ihen came the man with an idea
Laws and ordinances are not prop
erlY enforced in Solomon" he said
why not enforce every law and use
lines exclusively as a punishment fer
every infraction? In a short time we
can build the waterworks and electric
light plant and pay for them"
Fine Him Is Slogan.
The suggestion was adopted by the
city officials. The enthusiasm of the
people of the city runs so high that
the man who is arrested and fine is
looked upon as a public benefactor and
the stranger within the gates who OBJ
1ects to paying a large fine is declared
unreasonable. And the dream of thus
getting money enough to build the wa
terworks and electric light bids fair to
succeed.
The story Of one arrest is that of d
man driving without light on mis- auto
was arrested. He was charged with
this offense and explained that he had
exhausted his supply of carbide; that
he was on his way home after more
and less than a block from home when
arrested. The only answer of the judge
was to fix the fine which was the
maximum allowed for this offense
Then two "drunks'' were arrested for
stealing watermelons from a farmer
They pleaded guilty and were fined
what money they had. Then the farm
er, who had made remarks about
"heluva state of affairs" was hailed
into court. He was fined for his re-
marks.
These cases are but instances. Fines
are growing larger and the city treas
ury is threatened with a surplus. And
the faction opposing the issuance CT
bonds rubs its hands with glee Us eaa5h
new victim is brought into court.

STEALS 1s HEAD OF CATTLE.
Walter Thovve Used Another Name in
Selling and Is Caught

Alma, Kan, Aug. 2e.-Walter
Thowe, aged "a, is lodged in the Alma
jail to answer the charge of stealing
13 head of cattle from the pasture of
George Casey, seven miles southwest
of Alma, last April.
In counting his cattle, Mr.. Casey
missed 16 head. Three of them were
found in pastures off to the south of
his place later on, but no trace of the
others was found. A commission com
pany at Kansas City finally put Mr.
Casey on track of them by telling of
the purchase of 13 head of cattle Of
that brand from young man who
gave the name of George Clay. When
the company bought the cattle the
seller instructed that the draft be sent
to the bank at Dunlap. In Lyon coun-
ty- Thowe was known at the bank,
and when he attempted to draw the
money, giving the excuse that he had
advanced it to George Clay the
bank communicated with the commits
sion company and it was thus that

HEAT DRIVES GERMAN INSANE.
Victim Forgets Name. Address and
Relatives in Wichita Hospital.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 26=William
Schmidt, the aged German. who was
taken to the Wichita hospital. after he
had been found prostrated on the
street by heat, is reported today to be
in state of semi-dem entia, Schmidt
Will live, but the sunstroke cost him
his mind, just as a sunstroke in the
Sahara affects the desert travellers.
Nurses learned this when Schmidt
leaped from his bed and, clad only
in a gown, sped down the stairs and
out into the street The nurses gave
chase. The old man was too feeble
to run far and he was capt ured with
out difficulty. The attendants had a
job on their hands, however, to per-
suade him to return to his bed. He
returned only when his strength gave
out and he could offer no more resis-
tance.
superintendent Woods says that the
old German has lost all recollection of
his name, whereabouts and all power
of recognition. He clings to only one
thing of his former seif-his nation
ality. He tabbers constantly in Ger
man. There is danger of a violent
turn to his insanity and the Sedgwick
home authorities are making every
effort to secure care for Schmidt in
the state asylum.

MANY MARRIAGES ILLEGAL.
Judges Believe That Pro Tenn OhiciaIs
Have Exceeded Their Rights.

ottawa, Kan, Aug. 26.-Has Dan
Cupid been outwftted? ? In plain Eng
lish. are the seventeen couples who
have had the marriage ceremony said
over them by probate judges pro tenn
legally married?
Probate Judge W. W. Parker of
Emporia, graduate of the K. U. law
school in the class of 1906, thinks the
weddings not legal and is starting over
the eastern part of the state investi-
eating the situation and trying to un-
tangle the snarl. If snarI there be.
And Judge Parker is not alone in
his suspicion that the probate judge
pro tenn isn't duly empowered by law
to perform the marriage ceremony.
District Judge G. A. Smart also is Of
the opinion that the law doesn't give
him the right and there a number Of
other good lawyers that think the
same way.
The law authorizing the appoint
ment of probate judges pro tenn was
passed In 1907.
