Meet Death Indian Creek. Two Children fuddenly in THROUGH THEY BROKE THE ICE Drowned v K Kingsbu 1o and Frank ¢ Their Horeified Cox Witnessed Thelr Desy Struggle for Life, by and ate One of the saddest affairs that has occurred in this city for & long time took place yester day afternoon 1n the castern part of the city, Frank Kingsbury, the 6-year-old son of M A. Kingsbury, who lives near the corner of First and Pierce streets, and Frank Cook, & boy about the same age, the son of William Cook, who drives au oil wagon for the firm of L. G. Knotts & Co., with another boy named Stageman, were playing along the bank of Indian creek, near Geise's browery. They became somewhat carcless and attempted to cross the creck on the ice, which was very thin, It gave wav with them and the Kings bury and Cook bovs were both plunged into the water. Stageman was a littie behind them and as soon as he saw the predicament his comrades were in, turned bac'c. The water was about five feed doep at that point, and as the two boys sank and rose three times the little fellow who stood on the bank watched them, too frightencd to know just what was happening or what to do. He managed to call for help, however, and his cries attracted the attention of » man who was passing. He cime to tho edge of the bank and looked down into the water, but instead of plunging in after the boys he ran off down the street calling tor heip. J. M. Collier at last appeared upon the scens armed with a grappling hook, and at last the Cook boy was landed upon the bank. It was fully ten minutes after the accident occurred before he was rescued, and life was extine Rev. J. G. Lemen, who hupponed to be pa ing, picked up the littio form and carried it to the home of Claus Thompson, across the street, while Collier went back after the other boy. He too was soon found and car- ricd to the same place, where soveral physi clans were surmoned in great haste. For fully two hours the doctors worked with the little fellows, using all possible means to resuscitate them, rolling and rub- bing them, and applying electric batteries, but without avail. ~ It was evident that thoy bad been under water untit life was extinct, and at last_the physicians abandoned their efforts. While the attewpts at resuscitation were going on the relatives of the two boys stood by looking on aud their grief was almost uncontrolable, Mrs. Kingsbury stayed at home hoping against hope until at last she was informed that the physicians could do nothing more. She then gavo way to har feolings, and when ut last the body of her little son was brought to the house her heart- broken sobs and moans were terrible to hear, It was feared last nighi that grief would drive her insane. Both of the boys attendea school at the Pierco street buildiog and were unusually bright. Their families are well known ail over the city and their relatives have a host of friends who will sympathize with them in their terrible bereavoment. Arrangements have not yet been completed for the funeral.

Sheriffl Brown of Girundy county was notified, and Fisher was takei back 1o stand trial. Either peni tentiary life lost its charms as it drew nearer, or else Grundy county jail fare was not upto the standard of Pottawattamie county, for he had ouly been confined there & short time when he cut & hole 1n the side of the juil and bored bis way out. He has dis appeared completely, not a trace ever having been found of him after he left the prison.

An Omana barber named Hansen was in the city yesterday morning and identified Ham ilton as the man who was in his place in the afternoon in company with his vietim. Hamilton was avrested he offered Deputy Marshal Fowler $20 to go nway and report at headquarters that he had been unable to tind him. This offer was rejected, and he mado an offer of $25, which was treated in the same way, Yesterday @ woman with whom he has been living, went to the marshal's office and offered to pay the victim his £10 which he claimed to have lost if ho would g0 back home and let the case against Hamilton drop, She was told togo back home and mind her own affairs, Hamiiton is atill 1n jail.

Even to this day, when somuch practical use 1s made of it, many of its possibilitics are only dreamed of. To most people electricity is still a large interrogation point. We know it drives muchinery—but how? Those who would like to witness the fact and study the how are invited to call at the progressive BEE job printing oftice of Pryor Bros. at 12 Pearl strect and seo the first electric motor for driving machinery that has been sotup in thecity. Tho presses and ma- chinery in this office are now all driven by an électric motor, the power being furnisked by the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge company. When, several years ago, Pryor’s BEE job office put in the first water motor in the city, considerable surprise was ex- pressed that sosmall a piece of mechan- ism should be able to develon so much power, but the electric motor causes still more astonishment. Those inter ested in seeing areally fine machine are invited to call at Pryors Bros.” BEE job office and see the little wonder. E. H. Sheafe has eastern money on hand for reai estate loans.

The Simple Life I Ohlo at Now nearly eighty years of age, with amind as vigorous asat any former period in life, whether on the bench or in the councils of the nation, Judge Allen G, Thurman is the same genial, warm-hearted and companionable man he was before his body was wrenched and his logs weukened by acute and per- sistent rheumatic pains, writes a Colum- bus correspondent of the New York Times. Ho lives quictly and spends most of his time in the library, a large up-stairs room that he calls his “den,” and 1nto which he says he allures the unsuspecting caller and newspaper men with a view of keeping up with the times in the current news of the day. The time has gone by when any news- paper writer will take navantage of Mr. Thurman, All fully recognize the fact that his wishes should be respected, and unless the judge is very well acquainted with his caller he seldom expresses him- self upon political matters, us he does not wish to be quoted. Mr, Thurman seldom leaves his house and walks but little. He spends his time wholly with callovs and books, boing a great reader. He enjoys little visits from his old friends and neigh- bors, and in referring to certain inci- dents enjoys hearing and telling a good story. The calls from old political asso- cintes arve keenly relished, and be often refers to them with evident pleasure, The death of his life’s companion a few months ago was a terrible blow to Judge Thurman, ana he fuels the loss mord and more as the days glide by, He misses hor presence in a thousand wiys, She was alwuys about and near him, cheering him up and relieving him of the aching puins that at times seemed to pull and wrench at every muscle and nerve in his body. He spenks of her in the most loving and gentle manner, while the tears he cannot and would not suppress fill his eyes. He oceupies his home the same as when Mrs. Thurman was alive, the house of his son, Allen W. Thurman, andhis own beirg connected. The judge takes his meals with his children and grandehil- dren, and his comforts are looked after by them. ' Of late Mr. Thurman has suffered se- verely from neuralgia in the head, but otherwise his general health s good, other than that he is never free from rheumatic pains in the legs and knee joints, It is with greatdifticuity that he wallks at all, and he says that his legs are of pra lly no account except to ache continually, He is much stouter than formerly, and, as a general thing, his appotite is good, but he eats spar- ingly. Mr. Thurman says that he in- tends to break the bad habit of reading all night and sleeping the most of the day, but he is atraid that he s gettivg 100 old to make uny radical change in the custom of a lifetime, by the Venerabl man, DAILY BEE THEY ARE JUGGLING INWHEAT Many Times Millionaires Ffifid the Specu- lative Markets Extremely Seductive. ROCKAFELLER, MACKEY AND NORTH Trio of Crasn Have torit s Who Taken to the rined 'to Surplus Cash for Quick Returns, ne o0 Invest Cricaco, 111, Feb. 17, Special Telegram to Tur Ber At irregular intervals during the last two or three years the wheat mare Kkets have been disturbed by secrot manipu- lation on a gigantic scale. In each instance the manipulation stopped as quickly and as mysteriously as it bogan, and in each instance a great “scalp' was taken from the speculative capital engaged in the grain trade. At least $10,000,000 in money has been taken out of the Chicago and New York wheat markets since 1888, and passed to the credit of the manipulative combination or person. Tho pool is again in the market. The tingor of suspicion has been pointedly directed towards I’. D. Armour of this city and his brother, H. O. Armour of New York, us the principals, But it does not follow that P. D. and H. O mour would not run @ deal for somebody else if therc was an assurance of 1,000,000 in commissions in 1t, with unlimited capital back of the enterprise. Jim Keene was also mentioned as one of the men in the deal, and it is not so cortain that John Mackey is bot one of the partners in tho clique. Employing Their Surplus. Through the friendly ofices of a mutual friend, John D. Rockafeller, the dictator of the Standard Oil millions, together with Colonel James T. North, “the #50,000,000 nitrato king,” and the brightest of the *big bonanza" millionaires, were several years ago brought to see how their surplus and otherwise idle funds might be employed to advantage. Tho manipulation of the grain markets of Now York and Chicago would be to them the merest child’s play. A groat wheat pool was formed and has been doing business for the last four or five months. U to the turn of the new year the titanio combine played for a decline, but sinca then it scems to have been shaping its course in the other direction. Milllons of Bushels of Wind, Tho 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-ket, because it cannot be pe delivered in substance. The speculative short iuter- est, as described in the contradistiuction to the sales against possessed property deliver- able in emergency upon contract in Chicago, is *‘wina” wheat. It has no existence; it will never have any existence, In addition to the 50,000,000 bushels purely speculative short interest 1 Chicago, there are similer opon interests for possibly an equal amount in the combipod markets of Louis, Toledo, New York and Liverpool. Has the World in Its With whom has this enormous volume of speculative property, the big pool has tho wheat contract, It is agents have been buy- ing all the wheat the bears have dared to sell for future dolivery in all ‘the great public markets of the world. Should the crop prospects turn out poorly and the farmers—from thav cause or because of a beliof that congress is golng to legislate wheat to $1.25 a bushel—shut down on de liverics, as they are already reported to be doing in Indiana, Olio, Mlinois and Missouri, or should tho old world get ready for our moderate reserves in sight. The cligno may conclude to puton the scrows and not 2 per cent of the wheat sold for May delivery in tho several speculative markets could be delivered. MEXICAN NEWS. Concessions Will Not be Grar ana Lottery—Reciprocity City or Mexico, Feb. 17.—A. R. Curtis, the World’s fair commissioner, is visiting the various government officials and is recciving much encouragement. All the railroads have offered to co-operate. On Sunday next a monster demonstration will be beld in favor of the re-election of President Diaz. Foreigners, merchants, railroad men and others will take part. There is no truth in the report that the Mexican government will grant a concession to the Louisiana lottery One of the most proininent personages in Mexico said recently that reciprocity with the United States was improvable. - When asked his reason for this belief, ne replied thatthe negotiations had been suspended since the ena of December on account of difticultios in regard to the questions of cereals, It seems tbat the United States made attempts to secure exception from the duties or at Jeast a consider- able reduction on American wheut, corn and flour. The McKinloy law, however, offers Mexico no importaut concession, as only three articles enter the United States free—sugar, which is not exported from Mex- ico; coffe, which is salable advantageously in Europe, and hides, which are able to support aduty, It may safely be said that Mexico will aot increase the concession made to the United States, The general public feeling 15 opposed to special commercial treaties, and there is now considerable opposition because part of the American press has been attack- ing Mexico, 1t is claimed, unjustiy. JUDGE DU. Father Phelan of St, Louls G ion of the Document, Sr. Louis, Mo, Feb, i7.—Rev. D. S, Phelan, editor of the Watchman, a Catholic journal, said to an Associated Press repre- sentative, relative to the Dunne letter: “The clergy is nr[miud to the discussion by laymen of temporal power, or education in an official Catholic body, for the reason that these uttersuces would betaken as the offi- cial voice of the church. That should be coofived tothose high esgugh in the church to speak on matters of 1 policy. Everyone in the Catholic chuarch bas the freedom of in- dividual opinion, but no pne bLas & right to say whether the pope should be restored to temporal power. That is for the pope tosay, and when said it is the dyty of the clergy to work for it. “Members of the clergy, are cautious as & rule on matters of churay policy. But many of the layman, free from any embarrassing respousivilities, such as_Judee Dunne aud Leach Montgomery, whowas assistant attors ney goneral unaer Clevelpnd, for 1nstance, do iusist that the state has, no more right to establish schools; that they come wholly under the church, You Will remember that Judge Dunne was removed from the terri torial judgeship of Armzona by [President iraut ou account of these extreme views, 'his lotter has croated some sensation, but it is of the cheap kind anda it looks mucn like the lotter was sent to Rowe to convey to the vatican the impression that because the discussion of temporal power and education is objected to by the archbishop: the hierarchy of this country opposes temporal power.
