LAUGHED AT DOWIE

Bishop Whitaker Evidently Hasn't Much Faith in Him

The annual meeting and election of officers of the Lincoln Institution and Educational Home, 324 South Twelfth street, was held yesterday. Bishop Whitaker and other managers being re-elected. They have thirty-seven Indian girls and ten boys in the home. The treasurer of the Board of Council showed receipts of $9,542.98 and a balance of $449.46, and the treasurer of the Board of Managers showed receipts of $4201.54 and a balance of $101.54.

Miss Mary Cox, one of the managers, reported that an Indian girl had gone to Illinois and become a convert to Dowie's Zion, then fell sick and wrote that she had been partly cured at Zion by prayer, but relapsed and was in a Chicago hospital.

"I would have to be in dire straits before I would listen to Dowie," said Bishop Whitaker, at which the meeting laughed.
