MRS. THURSToN BURIED
A Tremendous Concourse Gathered at
Omaha

OMAHA, March 20.-The body of the late
Mrs. John M. Thurston was followed to the
grave by tremendous concourse of peo-
pie this afternoon. All Omaha was out,
and many people from other points in Ne
braska and other states were in attend
ance. The body was brought from WASH
ington in a special car this morning. At
the house private services were held, after
which the casket was removed to All
Saints church. Rev. Thomas J. Mckay
preached over the rendition of the Protest
ant-Episcopal ritual for the burial Of the
dead. In his sermon the minister referred
feelingly to the mission of Mrs. Thurston
to Cuba which cost her her life. He paid
a high tribute to her character as woman
and to the intense patriotism and human
inspiration that led her to accompany her
husband on the trip from which he re-
turned to bury her.

Forests investment schemes is withheld
but he has supplied an extensive corre-
spondence which passed between himself
and DR.. Forest, or the latter's Indianapo-
lis agent.
In nutshell, the scheme of Dr. Forest
was to induce people to invest certain
amount Of money and allow him to direct
its investment. If profit was secured
the doctor got 20 per cent commission If
lost, he lost nothing except his commits
sion. The experience of the Indianapolis
man is probably similar to all the others.

only the comprehensive mind Of Vaux
could fully appreciate. Poor old Poker"
Davis could not comprehend it. The pro-
portions were too gigantic.
FORESTS AGENT
DIR. Forest had an agent, Thos. S. s. Kerr,
who had an office in Indianapolis. His
business appears to have been to explain
the splendid scheme and induce people of
Indiana to deposit their money, whether
great or small, in the hands of certain
brokers under the auspices of Dr. Forest.
Kerr seems to have been kept pretty busy,
and when the time lay idle on his hands
he made an entry every minute in his books
that fresh Sucker had been born and
mentally determined to go forth and find
the aforesaid good thing" The gentle
man who visited Chief Glass yesterday had
looked over the prospectus of the plan
pursued by W. E. Forest and invested
$3.50. In a pamphlet given out and written
by DR.. Forest the investor was informed
how, by pooling his money with others in
the syndicate and allowing DIR. Forest to
direct the investment, he could make 5
per cent a week. The Indianapolis man
read the prospectus, bit and grew wise.
On November 21, 1896, he entered into an
agreement with Forest by which he depos-
ited $3.50 with Van Tassell & Co. of so
Broadway, brokers, to be used as margin
IN the purchase and sale of various stocks,
w. Il. Forest being appointed by the party
OF the first part as agent to act and direct
the investment. In justice to DR.. Forest
1t must be said that in his advertisements
and prospectus he always stated positively
rhat he was neither banker nor broker

vestment agent. He did not state it In his

Extreme Cruelty.

A case of extreme cruelty to children
is reported by the Bennington Banner
of Reuben Davis and wife of South
Salisbury. These parties me from
Ticonderoga to North Bennington,
thence moved TO SALISBURY and in each
place the neighbors were indignant over
the cruelties. A society took the case
up and sent the children, boy and
girl, aged IA and 13 respectively, to a
good home in the west where they will
at last receive the comforts of a home.
The report of the representative IF the
society is appalling. The children
were not allowed to remain in the
house during the day time and upon
their return from school where com.
PEELED to go directly to the barn and
stay there until called. The stepmo.h
er, not only has no affection for the
children but seemed to take fisndish de
light in subjecting them to the severest
discipline. They were not allowed to
speak while in the house, nor were
they allowed to eat at the table with
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis. Sometimes they
were not fed in the barn, sometimes on
the steps Of the house, but never at the
table. On one occasion the boy was so
hungry that he ate quantity of meal
which was intended for the hog. Mr..
and Mrs. Davis have been very promi
neDt in church work and to stranger
they appear like two of the most ,devouI
individuals it would be possible to; find.
So completely have they disguised their
true characters under a specious and
studied devoutness Of manner that even
their neighbors were deceived for a
time. The work was pushed through
vigorously by the humane society.
The children have been sent to the
home of their grandmother aud an
aunt who was sister Of their own
dead mother.

Speaker Haskins and the organ Of
the Vermont dynasty, the Free Press,
are having tilt. 1t all comes about
naturally enough. The speaker has
been trying to get in under the dynas'
tic umbrella and the F. p, having
sundry rcolloctions in mind, is trying
to kick him out. Nevertheless, in the
present controversy the speaker is in
the right. The Vermont Waterman
hits the nail on the head and sends il
into the wood up to the eye, as follows:
Fresh honor has recently accrued to
Speaker Haskins. He has incurred
the displeasure Of the Free Press and
its Observation-Disclosures
of one of the most deserving of his acts
as a Representative. A paper that
tacitly condones attempted bribery and
open infdelity to public trust, and from
behind contemporaries back "throws
mud" at people or newspapers who
have had the courage to expose these
things, would be the natural assailant
of Speaker Haskins for employing his
great influence in an honorable attempt
to secure a safe, decent and orderly
completion Of the work of the Legisla.
ture, even if such rational consideration
of public business of great Importance
made it necessary to prolong the session
few days beyond the Thanksgiving
holiday. Because the Legislature-in
no greater or less degree than its pre-
decessors-had wasted time in the
earlier weeks Of the session, therefore
it should have run away from its unfn-
ished and chaotic work at the other
end of the session. This is the logic of
the astute contemporary down by the
lake, and it is consistent with its moral
code and habit of coming to conclu.
sions. 1t is noticeable in this conpec.
ton that, neither at the time nor since,
has the Free Press ventured any crit.
cism upon the legislative junket to Bur
lngton, one Of the very unreasonable
and foolish things of the: many foolish
and idioic acts of the General Assem-.
bly, as body. When the Legislature
was doing its duty the Free Press
roasted it; when things were done that
made honest citizens blush for their
State, the Free Press was silent, or in
devious and craven way consented.
