THE OMAHA SHOW
Plans For State Buildings Are Coming
in Rapidly


in Rapidly
OMAHA, Neb., March 2O-Plans for
state buildings at the transmississippi ex-
position are coming in rapidly. The de-
partment of publicity has just received the
architects drawings of the Minnesota
building, the Montana building, the Arkan-
sas building, the Denver building and the
Missouri building. The plans for the pro-
posed Iowa building meet the hearty appro-
val of the exposition authorities. The Illi-
nois building is nearly completed. The
Wisconsin building is well under way. The
Nebraska building is practically COM
pleted. The plans for the Denver, or Colo
RADIO building, have been accepted and the
contract will be let in day or two. Plans
for the Georgia pine palace have been sub
mitted. 1t will be a handsome structure,
built wholly of pine donated by the people
of Georgia. The Minnesota building will
be constructed on similar lines of unhewn
logs. Plans for the Oregon building are
now being drawn and will be submitted
next week. Other states send assurances
that plans for their state buildings will be
forthcoming within a short time. 1t is
highly probable that the states of New
York and New Jersey will construct hand
some buildings.
Thirty-five states have decided to partici-
pate in the exposition. In thirty of these
commissions have been appointed and re-
ports from agents in the field are to the
effect that at least five more states will be
organized within the next few days. The
great government building, 500 feet long,
and the pinnacle Of whose dome is nearly
200 feet high, is nearly done. The manage
ment finds it necessary to build several an
nexes to accommodate the extraordinary
demand for exhibit space.

designs Of the Carlists which enables them
to state that the Carlist party has no inten-
tion of committing any act in which Don
Jaime could take part"
This appears to be confirmed by other
and well authorized reports.
The Globe, referring to the rumor that
Don Jaime, the restless" son of Don Car
los, would in short time come to Spain
to execute a deed which should accredit
him pretender. his father resigning in his
favor his rights to the crown says well
known Carlists deny the accuracy of the
report and say that they will take no part
in the electons-which means they will
live inside the law-in order to protest
against the policy pursued by the national
government during the last few days.
The Paris (Revolution) heads an article

Heraldo on its telegram, bidding 1t to re-
joice rather than to be sad since the Span
ish revenue must at least benefit by the
change for the stamp of the deed Of pre-

Spain to execute.
The Correo publishes a manifesto to the
Carlists urging them to do all in their
power at the approaching elections to re-
turn Carhst candidates, the only party
which has clean hands in the disgraceful
humiliations in Spain, and as being the
only party which can restore to Spain her
ancient honor and glory.

cially when he is refused the aid of

tire from the field for a rest, unless

have any claims against me, whatever
property I have. If l live l can easily

not legally or morally bound in any
way to make up losses, as have never

business. Until this is done I shall do
nothing further.
FINAL CRASH
But the crash of Whitney & Co. ended
the entire scheme and lost thousands of
dollars for the investors and threw Dr.
Forest out of a big sum to direct. His bus
mess having gone to smash he closed his
office at so Broadway,and 1t is significant
that both the brokerage firms were locat ed
at the same place. He came west.
Dr. Forest has become interested In some
mining ventures while here that are stu
pendous enough to have excited the mar
vel Of the old bonanza kings He also has
deal on hand with M. o. Godding of
Redlards to form stock company to build
gasoline horseless carriages.
DR.. Forest was interviewed last night in
the city Jail by Herald representative.
DIR. Forest said that he had discovered a
document which would show the charges
of McElwee, who has caused his arrest, to
be groundess. McElwee, the doctor sta.-
ed, had claimed that he had sold 5000 worth
Of stock in the syndicate and pocketed the
money. On tho other hand. DR.. Forest
claims that he merely had handed this
stock. the property Of McElwee, to another
gentleman as collateral security for a
deposit Of some money with ]. D. Whitney
C Co.. and taken receipt to this effect.
In fact the doctor said he had nothing to
do with the transaction but had merely
handed the stock to the man for Mr. Mes
bet of the Whitney company, as that per-
son was absent from the city. BY what
authority Nesbet had given the stock be-
longing to McElwee as collateral he did
mot know. DR.. Forest denied positively
that he had ever supplied the investors
with weekly reports. claiming that the
brokers had always done this. His state
ment In this respect is in direct refutation,
however. Of the printed documents left

ad, but all he asked was 20 per cent Of the net
profits which might accrue from the IN
vestment. This system was what was
known as the syndicate investment" plan,
by which number of petty investors
pooled their capital and allowed one man,
DR.. Forest. to direct 1t for them. The
agreement between the Indianapolis man
and Forest was signed by Kerr, the agent,
for the latter.
POOR CONDITIONS
On November 2s the weekly report came
signed. w. E. Forest. This report is
nothing but a typewriter circular, and
the name Of Forest is signed by the ma
chine type. This report dealt with the
poor condition of the market, due to va
rious causes. but added that some profits
were picked up on the short side of
grangers and Redding. The capital of the
Syndicate" for that week was given as
$39,S96. the total profits on closed transac-
tions, $992 and the commission of DR.. For
est s195 for the week. Consequently on his
investment Of $3.50 the Indianapolis man
was told that he had made profit of 49,
This was not much but it was better than
losing, SO the Indianapolis man allowed
both his capital and dividend to stay an
other week. On the following week came
another report in which the profits were
announced as per cent, which had netted
him about 5000 more, DR.. Forest in the
meanwhile receiving his commission. Any
one of the reports Is characteristic of the
entire bunch. Always a tale of dividends
varying from to per cent for the week.
the Doctors commission being Included.
"AMUSING" REPORTS
The reports were very amusing for a
number of things in them.
They were nothing but weekly series
Of ''jollying," telling Of the good times that
were coming, and referring to how some
break or change In the market had been
foretold by the doctor in previous month
The star of the syndicate" continued,
under the management of DIR. Forest, in
the ascendent. No matter what he
1t turned to profit. DR.. Forest,
If the letters bearing his name can be
taken for any criterion, must have estab-
lished some sort Of mental understanding
with the stock market, for he knew what
was due, and acted accordingly. In other
words, he did the right thing at the right
time, and the members of the syndicate"

profited and waxed fat in their purses each

profited and waxed fat in their purses each

Van Tassell & Co. went out of busi-
ness in December 1896, disposing of their
place to J. D. Whitney & Co. A circular
letter signed W. E. Forest was sent out to
the members of the Syndicate" an
nouncing the change. and inclosing a no.
tice requesting the investors to transfer
their money from Van Tassell to the new
firm. This was no doubt done in all cases
for who can resist having money made for
them at the rate Of three per cent a week?
With the new firm the profits continued
the same, and everybody in the "syndi-
cate" blessed the name of DR.. Forest the
kind man who was helping them to get
rich.
CLOUDS GATHERING
But there is an end to all good things, and
so dark cloud gathered over the heads of
the syndicate some time in April, but it
was not before new scheme had been
suggested by the doctor. This consisted
Of a wheat syndicate" by which the in
vestors bought wheat instead of stocks.
A big profit was assured in this. In the
printed letters sent out. the statement was
made that gentleman from New York
had been so pleased with the scheme that
he had invested $4,000. The Forest In
vestment company was also being pushed.
and people were told what an excellent
thing it was. The cloud broke on April
20, however, when a letter was received
signed w. E. Forest, stating that owing to
the former syndicate" system having
been in violation of the postal laws It
would be necessary to discontinue it, pend
ing decision from the postmaster general.
They proposed to Immediately form the
Forest Investment company, and the in
vestor could secure stock in that company
by ordering the broker to transfer to the
investment company all the interests in
the syndicate. Somehow, the clients did
not appear to take as kindly to the new
company as Dr. Forest had expected. for

ONE MORE COMET
Is Hung at the Belt Of Observer
porrio,

SAN JOSE, March 20.-The second comet
of the year 1898 was discovered at the Lick
observatory this morning about 4:3O o'clock
by C. D. Perrine. 1t is situated in the west
ern portion of the constellation Pegasus
south of the star Iota. Its position at
s h. m. 56 s., Greenwich mean time. was:
Right ascension, q h. Is m. 36S9 s., with
declination north, 16 d. 43 m. 23.3 s.
1t is moving north one degree per day
and east nearly m. of time. The comet is
as bright as a star of the seventh magni-
tude, and can be seen with a very small
telescope. The head is round and about
two minutes of arc in diameter, with a
bright central condensation ten seconds
in diameter This nucleus Is not stellar,
but has granuated appearance. A tail
about one degree long extends away from
the sun.
AS soon as two more observations can be
secured Its orbit will be calculated at the
Lick observatory. Until this is done, little
can be said Of its future movements
The last six comets have been consecu-
lively discovered at the Lick observatory
by Assistant Astronomer c. D. Perrine.
