FOREST CITY.
The condition of Martin Westcott,
the young man who Is supposed to be
suffering from the effects of hypnotic
influence, Is the subject of conversa
tion among the people In this vicin
ity. The case has been mentioned in
newspapers all over the country and
has given grounds for press comment,
In which several Ideas as to the genu
ine cause of his condition have been
freely expressed. Since Thursday,
Dec. 10, he has wandered around town
in a dazed condition, and has not spok
en to any of his friends or 'acquaint
ances. His father follows him where
ever he goes fearing something serious
might happen him. It is not safe for
him to go out alone, as he Is not re
sponsible for his actions and his par
ents are afraid that he might In some
manner succeed in committing suicide.
Several rumors are afloat as to the real
cause of all this trouble. Many be
lieve it Is the evils of excessive cigar
ette smoking and other abuses, wnila
others are of the opinion that it Is due
to the effects of hypnotism. The case
Is a mysterious one and Is the cause of
serious trouble to the parents ot the
young man. who are almost heart
broken. J. G. Westcott, father of the
boy, called on The Tribune reporter
yesterday and made the request mat
his views be published in The Tribune
columns. Mr. .Westcott says that In
September last Professor A. S. Lowe
found In his son a genuine case In
which he could most successfully dis
play his abilities In the hypnotic pro
fession. He had such an Influence over
him at that time that he was unable
to rest easily and could not eat. with
the same appetite as usual. He fol
lowed his occupation until the 'effects
of hypnotism grew upon him so that
ke was unable to do anything. His

condition somewhat alarmed Mr. West
cott at that time and ever since he has
been the source of constant worry.
At the present time he does not know
any one, not even his parents, and Mr.
Westcott says his health is gradual
ly ratling. Mr. Westcott wishes to say
that what Professor Sage said in Car
bondale concerning the boy's condi
tion Is not true. He is positive that
the trouble which Is heaped upon him
Is the direct cause of Professor Lowe's
Influence over his son. He has also
watched his actions since that time
and have noticed an unnatural change
In the boy's conduct. The boy Is still
residing with his parents, and Mr.
Westcott invites anyone who does not
believe his statements to call and see
for themselves.

has been well developed by a careful
study of music and elocution, 'under
some of the finest teachers In this coun
try. Her opportunities for study and
travel have given her a well-trained
mind, quenchless enthusiasm, and that
rarest of all qualities Indomitable
pluck. - Audiences will be charmed by
her graceful and cultured manners, fine
voice and distinct enunciation. Her
selections are always new and pleasing,
her humor never coarse. That she Is
phenomenally successful as a teacher
of elocution and oratory Is evidenced
by the wonderful success of her pupils.
Several of them usually accompany her
to aid in rendition ot dialogues, posing,
pantomine and other Delsartean work.
They never fail to please the most
fastidious audience."
