ALT0ELDY REPLY TO FORMAN.

Gov. Altgeld's reply to the charges Of
W. =. Forinnn was u choice bit Of vi.
tuperatlOn, hut II was not an answer
nor u dlsprOOf OF the grave allegations
Of the cx.COngressman. Gov. Altgcld
cannot afford to go before the voters
OF the State OF Illinois with such
charges as those preferred by FOrman
hanging over his head. 1t viii not do
under the circumstances surrounding
this case to abuse the other fellow.
The charges are serious. and II they
be not distinctly. separately and cate.
gOrically repudlated before election day
they IRE bound to cost the head Of the
composite ticket thousands of votes.
Mr.. FOrman does not appear to b.
easily frightened, either. Altgeld's VI
tuperatiOn has had such slight effect
upon him that be returns to the charge
with the following allegation In IN open
letter given to the public Sept. 10:
II charge you with being u heavy Dor.
rover of State funds.
"That Hinrlchscn and Durfee assist

THAT between the times of the death

THAT YOU appointed Il. T.. Ramsay.

knew that his father was defaulter.
for the purpose OF covering up damag-
ing facts.
THAT You attempted to borrow the
funds of the Illinois Asylum for Feeble
Minded Children ut I.incO.n; that on the
refusal of your request You removed
the superintendent of that institution.
THAT you attempted to borrow funds
of the Anna Insane Hospital Mt Anna.
and when you were refused this loan
by the treasurer. that yOu asked for
his resignation and ordered the funds

THAT YOU have borrowed hundreds
of thousands of dollars ana paid inter.
est thereon at q and per cent, contrary
to law.
THAT You have permitted large sums
of money appropriated for the mainte-
nance of State institutions to he with
drawn from the treasury before 1t was
needed, to be deposited In Your pet

THAT your shallow pretense to hon

IN SOCIETY


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The following from Warrington
correspondent OF the The Courier will
be of intrest to the people Of Nebraska.
Every Nebraskan is undoubtedly in
terested in knowing the reception
accorded Senator and Mrs. Thurston
since coming to Washington in an
official capacity. AS one Of the above
it was my privilege TO hear Senator
Thurston's maiden speech and i am
free to confess that all of my ex-
pectations were fully realized. While
the senator spoke but for a couple OF
minutes, yet the attention showed him
by the senate and gallery testifies to the
belief that Nebraska's junior senator
will be a moving force in that body,
likewise a strong friend OF the old SOL
diers in all pension legislation. Sue
cessful as was Senator 1hurston's er-
trance into the political. Mrs. Thurs
tons arrival was just as much so. While
Mrs. Thurston has no desire to shirk
these necessary entertainments yet she
set the example Of Nebraska simplicity
at her first at home" last Thursday at
ternoon and received any amount Of fav-
orable comment from the many callers.
The indispensable punch bowl" which
usually graces the refreshment table in
Washington in accordance with Mrs.
Thurston's well known principle was no
where in evidence, but instead an alcove
corner off from the reception room Of
the Arlington where the reception wcs
held was fitted up for a tea table and
dainty cups OF tea with corn pone wal
ers were served to each caller. Despite
the Indictment weather many came to
pay their respects to Mrs. Thurston as
well as Mre. Villas who received with
Mrs. Thurston. assisted by bevy of
young ladies. The costumes of the re-
ceiving party were exceedingly hand
some Mrs. Senator Villas wore gown
OF dahlia colored cloth trimmed elab-
orately with furs and embroidery with
an elegant vest and neck garniture Of
exquisite white lace. Mrs. Senator
Thurston, rose red and silver bro
caded satin trimmed with green velve'
and point lace. Miss Stewart, of Wis
consin, daughter Of Congressman Stew
art, Paris dress of golden faun colored
silk crepon. ruby velvet and lace. Miss
Mary Stewart a girlish frock, white
Dresden lowered silk. Miss Hutchison,
the extremely popular daughter OF Con-
gresham Hutchinson, wore a most be-
coming Partisan gown. Miss Bowers,
the charming daughter of Congressman
Bowers, of California, who was to have
assisted in the receiving, was takel. sud-
denly i'll just before hand and was COM
PEELED to leave in carriage before the
reception began. The reception was
purely an afternoon "at home" The re-
ceiying party wore no gloves. However
the rooms were darkened and the cleo
trlc lights added brillancy to the red
decorations of flowers and palms.
