ACCUSED w 11 -S#» gT, H. M. FERGUSON iUcomingtnn, 111.—Returning from Cedar Rapids, 11.. a committee of three pastors of the Carlock and Dan vers Mennonite churches and District Superintendent W. S. Shelly, the Rev. .1. H. King, and the Rev. William Weaver drew up a report giving the result of their investigations concerning H. M. Ferguson. 3745 Ward street. Chicago. Ferguson says he is an etangelist. and is now preaching at Emden. Previously lie had been crusading in western McLean county since early in October, conducting a mission patterned after the House of David. “Ferguson.” their report says, ‘‘had been the self-styled Moses of a little flock of some 200 simple minded peo pie whom he had induced to accept his stern discipline and religious supervision that stripped them ol every bit of property and indepen dence they ever enjoyed. “The girls were domiciled in dormitories in charge of a matron, and the boys were segregated. Ferguson confessed to improper relations with each of those matrons, as well as with some of the girls. A number were sent to distant homes before the birth of their babies, while one died apparently from abortion chargeable to her betrayer. “Ferguson skipped out until after the funeral, and the mission was at a loss to understand his action, and only his skillful use of religion and hypnotic powers kept these victims from placing him in the penitent! try.” SAGE TEA KEEPF YOUR HAIG DARK When Mixed With Sulphur II Brings Back Its Beautiful Lustre at Once Cray'hair, however handsome denotes advancing age.
