The need of a residence for the
President and his family seperate
from the public offices in the
White House is again being dis
cussed. 1t grows more pressing
each year as the growth of public
business makes greater encroach-

the White House. Congress
could not do a more popular thing
than to provide for the building OF
a suitable residence for the Presi-
dent, something in keeping with
the wealth and grandeur of the
country.

of the time was spent on the charming
banks of the quiet lake. some casting
their lines in the tranquil waters for fish
to play with, while others rippled the
placid bosom with boats or fed wild
ducks with tiny shot. Mr. and Mrs
Campbell were considered the best fish
catchers and Mr. VanMetre captured the
craftsmanship. Others of the party ex-
celled in various amusements A most
tempting dinner was partaken of and the
odors which surrounded them advanced
the idea of bottling the sweet-scented
perfumes to bring home witt, thom on

their trip and were enthusiastic in their
praises of the beautiful lake and its sur

just past. Good progress has been made
In al the branches and the drawing class

alone and met man who lives in the
same neighborhood by the name OF

rection and he in the opposite. When
they met. Terrell jumped into Mrs.

her, breaking her collar bone and crushing
her breast. 1t is thought that she was
otherwise badly used She lay for some
time in the wagon in an unconscious
condition and 1t was indeed fortunate
that her horses were gentle. They walk
ed about ON the prairie until discovered
by some neighbors. when she was found
suffering from the injuries above men
toned. Terrell was arrested and as the
assault occurred in Rawlins county. he
was tried before a justice of the peace
there, but was discharged on the ground
of being insane and therefore could not
be held on the charge of assault and bat
tery. He will be tried in this county on
