BABES IN THE WELL.
The Sad Case Of Dementia of Mrs.
HartWeiL
4 SISTER RESIDES IN TOPEKA.

Stated That Mrs. HartweIps Mind
Was Unsettled by Christian science
Teachings Eaere-Hs Appears, How
ever, That Mrs Hartwen Suffered
From the Effects of Exposure Years
Ago.
Mrs. G. n. Hartwell the Jamestown
woman who threw her two children into
the we'll few days ago, is a sister of Mr.
Il. L. Resing, Jr., the we'll known Topeka
coal dealer who is a brother in law of

man who live in the city.
In talking to a STATE JOURNAL re-
porter about Mrs. HartwelPs case Mr. H.
L. Resting, Jr. said: Mrs. Hartweu was
here about ten days ago on visit, but
we did not then think of such thing as
her mind being affected. While she was
here she visited my sister Mrs. Chapman,
who is believer in Christian science
and frequently talked about it but we
never thought of it turning her head
"One of my sisters is Mrs. W. II. Par
sons of Clifton, wife of the man who WAS
a brigadier general of the state of mill
tia under Governor Leweling. and Mr..
and Mrs. Parsons are both firm believers
in Christian Science.
sour best information is that Mr.. and
Mrs. Parsons are responsible for Mrs.
HartwelPs mind being turned by that
doctrine, as they are real cranks on that
subject.
"Hrs. Hartwell was very strong willed
when she was young girl, but when
she was about Is years of age she was
lost in snow storm up in Marshall
county and was almost frozen to death
Since then she has not been as strong
either mentally or physically as before.
''The well into which she threw the
children is about sixty feet deep, but the
children are getting along all right
Immediately on the receipt of the
news my sister, b rs ]. c. Kennady and
her husband, the Santa Fe yard man,
went to Jamestown and in her last letter
Mrs. Kennady says the little girl is able
to play out in the yard. The little boy
was injured the worst, but he is getting
along all right"
When asked if the children were be-
ing treated by Christian Scientists MIR
kesing said: "Not bit of it. We will
not stand such thing. Heretofore when
any of the children have been sick Mrs.
Hartwell has sent for her sister, Mrs.
Parsons, but that is ended new.
".Mr. Hartwell doesn't take any stock
in Christian Science and he will see to it
that his family is properly cared for
hereafter"
Mr.. Resting says his mother, who is
past 70 years of age. has talked some of
Christian Science, but she is too firm in
her Christian faith to be carried away

Greenhut' s administration of the trusts
affairs. It is long lane that has no
turning, and now the obscure whisky
salesman is president of the trust and
Greenhut has been depOsed as president
and expelled from the board of direct
ors. Samuel M. Rice is a resident of
New York city. Three years ago he be-
gan his fight against Greenhut and the
trust itself by distributing the product
of antitrust distilleries.
Greenhut' s famous rebate system, de-
signed to compel distributors to buy
their spirits exclusively from the trust,
was then in very successful operation,
but Rice succeeded in getting great
deal of business away from the trust
Greenhut scorned Rice as unworthy of
his notice, but Rice's success in fighting
the trust attracted the attention of the
eastern stockholders, who were already
wishing to GUST Greenhut, and when
the reorganization committee was form
ed Rice was asked to become its bust
ness adviser. He did so, and it is large
" due to his efforts that Greenhut has
been turned down and out.
Mr.. Rice belongs to family of fight
ers and refOrmers. His brother, Isaac NJ
Rice, a New York lawyer, led the fight
against the old management Of the
Reading railway, and another brother,
Joseph Rice, abandoned his profession
because he thought the public school
system of the country needed reforming
He devoted a great deal of time and
money to the study of the public school
systems of Europe, and well loaded and
primed with facts returned to America
and started on lecture tour, showing
up the alleged weaknesses Of our school
system. Whether he is right or not is
matter Of opinion, but that he believes
he is right is pretty well demonstrated
by the fact that ne devotes his time and
his income to the business of school re-
form without receiving a cent for his
