Ono of tlio saddest tiff mrs that has occurred
In this city for a lone tlmo took plnco yester
day afternoon in the eastern txirt of the city ,
Frank Klngsbury , the 0-year-old son of M.
A. Klngsbury , who lives near the corner of
First and 1'lorca streets , and Frnnk Cook , a
boy about ttio same ago , the son of William
Cook , who drives an oil wagon fet the firm of
Ii , O. Knotts & Co. , with another boy named
StQL'omun , were plavlng along the bank of
Indian crook , near Ocl e's browory. They
became somewhat careless and attempted to
cross the crock on the Ice , which was very
thin. It gave wav with thorn and the Kings-
bury and Cook bovs were both plunged Into
tbo water. Stagoman was a little behind
them anil as soon as ho sow the predicament
his comrades weru In , turned bac'f.
The water was about llvo feed deep at that
point , and as the two bovs sunk nnd rose
three times the HtOo fellow who stood on the
bank wntchod them , too frightened to know
Just what was happening or whut to do. Ilo
managed to call for help , however , and his
cries attracted the attention of o man who
was passing. Ho ciino to the cdgo of Iho
bank and looked down Into the water , but
Instead of plunging In after the bovs ho ran
off down the street calling lor help. J. M.
CoUtor at last appealed upon the scene
armed with a grapnllng hook , anil at last the
Cook boy was landed upon the bank. It was
fully ton minutes after the accident occurred
before ho was rescued , nnd llfo was oxtlnct.
Kov. .1. ( J. Lemon , who happened to bo pass
ing , picked up the llttlo form nnd carried It
to Iho homo of Clans Thompson , across the
street , wbilo Collier wont back after the
other boy. Ho too was soon found anil car
ried to the same place , whore several physi
cians were .summoned In great , haste.
For fully two hours the doctors worked
with tho'little fellows , using all possible
moans to resuscitate them , rolling and rub
bing them , and applying electric battoilea ,
but without avail. " It was evident that they
bad been under wutor until life was oxtlnct ,
and at last the physicians abamlonod their
efforts. Whtlo the attempts at resuscitation
were going on the relatives of Iho two boys
stood by looking on and their grief was
almost uncontrolablo. Mrs. Kiuirsbury
stayed at homo hoping against hope
until at last she was Informed
that the physicians could do nothing
more. She then gave way to her
feelings , and when at last the body of her
llttlo son was brought to the house her heartbroken -
broken nebs nnd moans ucro terrible to hoar.
It was feared last tilgbl that grlof would
drive her insane.
Both of iho bovs attended school nt the
Pierce sttcet building and were unusually
bright. Their families are well known all
over the city and their rolativfs have a host
of friends who will sympathize with thorn In
tholr terrible boreavuinent. Arrangements
Imvo not yet been completed for the funeral.

Ills .Mind.
Sheriff Ilazen returned yesterday from EU
doro , where ho went to take Fred Finch to
the reform school. While ho was uway ho
learned some news with reference to Julius
Fisher , who will bo romotnburod as the man
who delivered himself up to Ilazon about u
month ago , stating that ho had stolen a draft
for MO from a man in Cirundy Center three
rears ago and that it had preyed upon
his mind until ho had determined to
yield hlmielf up to trial and stand
the consequence ! in order to satisfy
bis outraeed conscience. Shot-ill Brown
of Urundy county was nolltioJ , and Fisher
was taken back to stand trial. Either pen !
tentiur.v llfo lost UK charms as It drew
nearer , or also Gruiuly countv Jail faro wus
not up to tbo standard of Pottawaltamlo
county , for he had only been confined there a
s lioi t tlmo when he cut a bole in the side of
the jail and bored bis way out. Ho has dis
appeared completely , not a traca ever having
been found of him after ho left the prison.
Sheriff Brown was considerably chagrined
at the fellow's change of heart , as ho thought
he was such an cxcoodluk'ly pious man that
ho gave him a good many liberties not ul-
lowud to tbe other prisoners ,

Cotisldornblo additional ovtdenca was no-
cured yesterday against Hurry Hamilton ,
the confidence man who played a rural Ne
braskan for a ? IO sucker Tuesday. An
Omaha barber named Hanson w.is In the
city yesterday morning and Identltled Ham
Iltun as the man who was In his place in the
afternoon In company with his victim.
Hamilton was arrcstod ho offered Deputy
\larsbal Fowler $ JO to go invav and report .U
headquarters that ho had boon unable to llnd
him. This offer was rejected , nnd ho made
nn offer of $ i3 , which was treated In the
same way. Yesterday u woman with
whom ho has been llvlnc , went to the
marshal's oftlco and offered to pay the victim
his flO which ho claimed to have lost If ha
would go back homo and lot the case against
Hamilton drop , She was told to go b.iclt
tiomo and mind her own affairs. Hamilton
s still in jnll. An Omaha detective was In
Lho city yesterday aftcrnoou ana loft a war
rant for his arrest on the chnrgo of forgery ,
lo bo used In case any habeas corpus pro
ceedings were commenced to got him out ,
Hamilton still refuses to go back to Omaha
without n requisition , as ho says there Is
always n chance for the authorities to fall of
their expectations.

When Benjamin Franklin caught cold

on Sunday , little did ho imagine the pos
sibilities to which would bo nut the sub
tle electric lluld ho succeeded in con-
looting to the oarlh. Even to tills day ,
when so much practical use is made of
.t , many of its possibilities are only
Iroatnetl of. To most people electricity
is still n largo interrogation point. Wo
itnow it drives machinery but how ?
Those who would llko to witness the

JUDGE THUBMAN AT HOME.
Tlie SimpleI.ifu Led by the Vencrublu Ohio
Statesman.
Now nearly eighty years of ago , with
u mind as vigorous as nt any former
period in life , whether on the bench erin
in the councils of the nation , Judge
Allen G. Thin-man is the same genial ,
warm-hoarted and companionable man
ho was before his body was wrenched
and his logs weakened by acute and por-
slbtont rheumatic pains , writes a Colum
bus correspondent of the Now York
Times Ilo lives quietly nnd spends
mobt of his time in the library , a largo
up-stairs room that ho calls his ' "don , "
and into which ho says ho allures the
unsuspecting caller and newspaper mon
with a view of keeping up with the
times in the current news of the day.
The time has gene by when any news
paper writer will tnko advantage of Mr.
Thurman. All fully recognize the fact
that his wishes should ho respected , and
unless the judge is very well acquainted
with his caller ho seldom expresses him
self upon political matters , as lie does
not wish to bo quoted.
Mr. Thurman seldom loaves Ills house
aim walk3 but little. Ho spends his
time wholly with callers and books ,
being a great reader. Ilo enjoys little
visits from his old friends and neigh
bors , and in referring to certain Inci
dents enjoys hearing and tolling a good
story. The calls from old political asso
ciates are keenly relished , and 1 o often
refers to them with evident pleasure.
The doatli of his llf J'B companion n ,
few months ago was a terrible blow to
Judge Thurman , and ho fools the loss
inorfl and more as the days glide by.
Ho misses her presence in a thousand
ways , She was always about and near
him , cheering him up and relieving him
of the aching pulnstliat at times seemed
to pull and wrench at every rnusclo and
nerve in his bo.ly. lie speaks of her in
the most loving and gentle manner ,
while the tours he cannot and would not
suppress 111 ! his eyes.
lie occupies his homo the same as when
Mrs. Thurman was alive , the hquso of
his BOM , Allen W. Tlnirman , and his own
being connected , The judge takes his
meals with his children and grundohil-
dron , and his comforts are looked after
by them , '
'
'OI late Mr. Thurman has suffered se
verely from neuralgia in the head , but
otherwise his general health is good ,
other than that ho is novoi- free from
rhouinatio pains In the legt > and knee
joints. It is with great dilllcultv that ho
walks at all. and lu < says that his legs
are of practically no account except to
ache continually. Ho is much stouter
than formerly , and , as a gcncrAl thing ,
his appetite is good , but ho oats spar
ingly. Mr. Thurman tajs that ho in
tends to break the bad habit of reading
all night and sleeping the' iuo4 of the
day , but he is alraid HIM ho lt . getting
lee old to make any radical change in
the custom of a lifetime.

tn Tm : flr.r.J At Irregular Intervals during
the last two or three years the wheat mar
kets have boon disturbed by secret manipu
lation on a gigantic scale. In uach Instance
iho manipulation stopped as quickly and as
mysteriously as it began , nnd In each
instance "scnln" taken from
a great was Iho
speculative capital engaged In thu grain trade.
At least $10,000,000 In money has boon taken
out of the Chicago and Now York wheat
markets since 18S8 , and passed to the credit
of the manipulative combination or person.
The pool Is again In the market.
The linger of suspicion has bean pointedly
directed towards P. U. Armour of this city
and his brother , H. O. Armour of Now York ,
u& the principals. Hut It does not follow that
P. U. nnd II. O. Armour would not
run a deal for somebody else If
there was an assurance of 71,000,000 , in
commissions In tt , with unlimited capital
back of the enterprise , .llm ICecno was also
mentioned ns ono of the men In iho deal , nnd
It Is not so certain that John Mackoy is uol
ono of the partners in the clln.no.
KinpliiyliiK Thi-lr Sutplm.
Through the friendly ofllces of a mutual
friend , John D. itocknfollcr , the dictator of
the Standard Ull millions , together with
Colonel James T. North , "tho WO.000,000
nltrnto king , " nnd the brightest of the "big
bonniua" millionaires , were several years
ago brought to see how their
surplus and otherwise idln funds
might be employed to advantage.
The manipulation of the grain markets of
Now York and Chicago would DO to them the
merest child's ' play.
A great wheat pool was formed and has
boon doing business for the last four or five
months. Up to the turn of the new year the
tltnnlo combine played for a decline , but
since then it seems to have bean shaping its
course tn the other direction.
Millions of Ituslu-ls of Wind.
The actual open speculative short interest
or "wind" sales in the Chicago market
is approximately 50,000,000 bushels , which
amount must bought In upon the open
mar-kot , because It cannot bo pe delivered
in substance. The speculative short inter
est , as described In the contradistinction to
the sales against possessed property deliver
able In emergency upon contract in Chicago.
is "wind" wheat. It hasi no existence ; It
will never have any existence.
In addition to the r > 0,009t > 00 bushels purely
speculative short interest m Chicago , tbcro
are similar open Interests for nosslbly an
equal amount in the comumod mancets of St.
Louis , Toledo , Now York and Liverpool.
Has the World In It *
With whom has this enormous rolumo of
speculative property , the big pool has the
wheat contract. It is agents have been buyIng -
Ing all the wheat the bears' hdvo dared to sell
for future cl oh very In all tbo great public
markets of tbo world.
Should tno crop prospects turn out poorly
and the farmers from thauoauso or because
of a belief that congress Is going to legislate
wheat to J1.B5 a bushel shut down on de
liveries , as they are already reported to DO
doing in Indiana , Ohio , Illinois and Missouri ,
or should the old world get ready for our
moderate reserves In sight. The chqno may
conclude to put on the screws nnd not 25
per cent of the wheat sold for May delivery
in the several speculative markets could bo
delivered.

Concessions Will Nut bo Grunted the T.onigl-
Hiiu Lottery Huclproclty Iniprolmlilc.
CITY OP Mexico , Feb. 17. A. H. Curtis ,
the World's fair commissioner , is visiting the
various government ofllcials and Is receiving
much encouragement. All the railroads have
offered to co-operate.
On Sunday next a monster demonstration
will be hold In favor of the re-election of
President Diaz. Foreigners , merchants ,
railroad mon and others will taUo part.
There is no truth in the report that the
Mexican government will grant a concession
to the Louisiana lottery.
Ono of the most prominent personages in
Mexico said recently that reciprocity with
the United States was improuablo. When
asked his reason for this belief , ho replied
that the negotiations had been suspended
since tbo end of December on account of
difllcultlos in regard to tbe questions of
cereals. It seems that the United States
matiu attempts to sccuro exception from
the duties or at least a consider
able reduction on American wheat ,
corn and flour. The McKinley law , however ,
offers Mexico no Important concession , an

ice ; coffe , which Is salable advantageously in
Europe , and hides , which nro able to support
a duty. It may safely bo bald that Mexico
will not increase tbo concession made to the
United States. The general public feeling is
opposed to special commercial treaties , and
there Is uow considerable opposition because

sentative , relative to the Uunno loiter :
"Tho clergy is opposed to the discussion by
laymen of temporal power , or education In an
ofltcial Catholic body , for tbo reason that
these utteroucoi would beituken as the ofll-
clnl voice nf the church. That should bo
confined to those high enough In the church
to speak nn matters of impolicy. Kveryono
in the Catholic church has , the freedom of In
dividual opinion , but nn.puo has u right to
say whether tbo pope spquld bo restored to
temporal power. That ( R fpr the pope to say ,
and when said It Is tboduty of the clergy to
work for It. L ,
"Members of the clenr.yiaro cautious aa a
rule on matters of churcU policy. Hut many
of the layman , free from , ; uiy embarrassing
responsibilities , such ns-Judgo Dunne unci
Leach Montgomery , who wns assistant attor
ney yonurul unacr ClovcJuud , for instance , do
insist that the state hti . jio more right to
establish schools ; that lhey come wholly
under the church , YoifVrlll remember that
Judge Dumio was removed ! from the terri
torial judgeshlp of Arizona by President
Cinint on account of thuso cxtrcmo views ,
"This letter has rroatod some sensation ,
but It Is of the cheap kind and It looks mnca
like the letter was sent to Homo to convoy to
tbo Vatican the impression that because tbo
discussion of temporal power and education
1s objected to by tbe archbishops ,
the hierarchy of .this country opposes
temporal power. It also affords a moans to
attack the liberal education views of Arch-
biihop Ireland , woo is now In Home. It
opens the way to rocitu the Instances where
ho turned tbo parochial school ut Farlbault
over to the state. "
