of money, however, when Zion City

money was tied up.
Last Wednesday low ie's first con
fession of weakness was made at a
rally in the lalx-rnai le at Zion City.
"A lot of you pivple have cash in
your pockets," Ikiwie said, to his fol
lowers. "Oig dow n and get it out.
It is tiod's and we need it in his
work. You an' cowards if you do

ti Iked in the same strain for more
than an hour, tears glistening on his
chocks as he told of the financial
straits iu which the Zion industries
found themselves.
Instead of frightening many into
depositing, this appeal sent a long
line of people to the bank on Friday,
where they lined up at the paying
teller's w indow, drawing out their
money. than $3,iAH) was de
posited in the lank on Friday, while
the amount w ithdrawn was twice as
much. Late in the afternoon A. W.
liraham of Waukegan tried to with
draw his account of $300 and was
told he would have to give 30 days'
notice before lie could get his money.
Yesterday another effort was made
by Ifctvviu to get funds but the de
positors who appeared were few and
the deposits were chielly in trivial
amounts. Today Iowie asked the
lueiiiUrrs of Zion more urgently than
ever for moiiev. He declared that he
must have .5()0,IOO without dulay.
In the efforts to remedy the condi

of letters were sent out daily to
Howie's followers in other parts of

work of the church, it is declared
that the employees of the manufac
turing industries have not been paid
in f n 'in four to six weeks. What
little they have received is said to
have lieen paid entirely in the Zion
City coupon Uks. Karly in the
week before last I low ie made a trip
through the various shops, lie told
his followers and others that they
must either wait for their salaries or
must endure a substantial cut in
wages. This was agreed U).
The receivers, with their attorneys
and Custodian Ucdicske, with six
deputy marshals, went out to Zion
City tonight to serve iiHn Howie
the notice of the iwctvership. He
dieske and his deputies went to the

ceis were, alsuit to demand admis

rear door, t Mie of the deputies over
took him, and a second man came
running from the bank, shouting:'
"let me have those papers ; t will
get away with them. ' Redieske
threatened to plan them under ar
rest unless they returned at once to
the bank, which they did. He then
placed the bank, and the three men
in it, under a guard. While this was
taking place at the bank, the receiv
ers and the attorneys called upon
Howie and read to him the petition
and order which placed Zion in the
hands of a receiver.
Appeals to His Followers to Raise
Funds.
Chicago Dtiati'h, aril.
A great gathering of the Howieites
was held at the taWnacle in Zion
City last night. It was called by
Howie for the purpose of starting a
fund of $1,0110,000 with which to
pay off all the indebtedness- that
hangs over Zion Cilv and himself.
The outpouring of his followers was
not one to bring chirr to the heart, of
the general overseer of Zion. Thfl
Uitx macle seats 6,000 people and
usually all these seats are taken at
special niwetings called by IViwio.
1 ast night the hall was not over half
lilled and tire gathering was not as
enthusiastic as might be desired by
a man who was in immediate need of
funds. Howie gave to his followers
a statement of the financial situation
of Zion City, told them that the as
sets were ample, the only trouble
being that he was not able to realize
upon them at once.
"The fiesh pots are the cause of
our coming here tonight," he said.
"They are a joke to me. For an
hour the dogs have thought they led
me. Hut, beloved, we are going to
kick them out now. We will kick
them out for all eternity.
"Those devilish parasites, the re
porters, came to me today. They
wanted to know what I would say to
you tonight. Did they learn from
me?" t
Cries of "Ko, no." "
"I tell you we will run them out
of Zion. I knew they were coming
before they attempted to pollutp
Zion. 1 knew it by the stench that
came ahead of them "
It is declared by the receivers for
Zion City that the affairs of Dowie
are in a worse condition than at first
appeared. Itcceiver Curric said to
night : "I believe that Dr. Dowie will
be able to pay off his obligations in
time. Just bow long this time will

At Xewbern, X. C, Tuesday, Chris
Dixon was hanged privately. The
case reads like a romance with a
tragic ending.
(lodfrey Webber, a substantial far
mer, was shot from ambush near his

only a few hours, and while dving
expressed tlie belief that Dixon was
the assassin. Dixon was tried and
convicted of the crime, the. strongest
evidence against him U-ing that two
pages of a magazine were used in
the gun wadding and a copv of tin

house had these two pages missing.
After being sentenced Dixon bnke

Most Trying Feature of the War.
(Xir Hunr.
"How would you like to bundle up
and start to the war as we did forty
years ago?" said Mr. Jas. A. Marsh
to an old Confederate comrade the
other day. "When I left my wife
and two-year-old boy," he continued,
"to start on the journey there was a
peculiar feeling of sadness that no
one can comprehend who has not ex
perienced it. Men may draw upon
their imagination and think they
know how it would be, but in in
stances of this kind the imagination
fails, and a man doesn't know how it
is until he tries it." This parting
with dependent loved ones at home
to go into a deadly conllict, the un
easy feeling about the comfort of
wife and children, the uncertainty of
ever seeing their faces again, made
such parting scenes the saddest and
most trying feature of the war, and
it is natural that in their rcllcctioiis
these scenes come more vividly to
the minds of the old soldiers than
anything else.

but statistics of such cotton will he
included in the final report for this
season.
This reHrt will lie followed by
two others showing Ihe quantity of
cotton ginned from Ihe growth of
this year. and to January 10, 1'.Nll
Xo estimates are given of the
amount of cotton remaining un
ginned. The census agents were
asked to submit these estimates, but
the census bureau has not even com
puted them as returned, turning
them over to the bureau of statistics
of the Department of Agriculture to
aid that office in the annual estimate
of the cotton crop to he issued to
morrow. The reason for this as an
nounced by the census bureau, is
that when the final reor!s were re
ceived a year ago "it apeared that
the estimates of the agents made in
(t,.iber were six and four-tenths
ht cent, short of the actual crop
grow n." A margin of error so large
as that is equal to the difference le-
tween a short crop and a normal
crop and under Ihe pivuliar condi
tions existing in two cotton markets
today, the census bureau does not
feel warranted in publishing any fig
ures in winch so large an element of
error may exist again. 1 he policy
of oHieration Mwcen the census
and the Agricultural Ikpartment is
adopted on the recommendation of
Secretary Cortclyoti of the Heparl
niftit of Commerce and Lilior, lo
avoid conllicting reports as far as
possible.
Ihe census bureau announces that
it ought to be possible in thclanu-
srv lit report to cover luacticallv
the entire cotton crop of l!K)3 l'.MM,
and this will U two months earlier
than we were able to do a vear ago.
It is to be regretted, in view of the
cotton situation, that no canvass cor-
resimniling to the one now reported
was made by the census office a year
ago."
As to the call for estimates of cot
ton iinginued in the several counties,
although it was not intended to use
them in this reMirt,thu bureau says:
Wo desire to ascertain hy a practi
cal test, whether it is ossible for the
special agents to make such esti
mates, at different periods during
the progress of Ihe liarvest, which
can be Mind upon as sufficiently ac
curate to be of value to the public,
It is possible that with their llicreas
iug exerience these agents can come
nearer to the fact than in 11102. We
can definitely ascertain the fact when
the full returns of this season are re
ceived and the results compared with
their estimate.
