aoosevELr.s WESTERN TRIP.

VIII Go From Chicago to Oklahoma and
Eschew Politics on His Journey.
Chicago, June 26.-The Times-Herald
says:
Governor Theodore Roosevelt will
leave New York next Friday for Chi
cago, arriving in this city Saturday,
and leaving the same night for Okla
homa City, where he will attend the
reunion Of his old regiment, the Rough
Riders. He will not come west as the
republican vice presidential candidate,
/ but as a private citizen, glad to meet
his soldier comrades again and be well
coined by them. In Chicago he will be
the guest of Paul Morton, second vice
president of the Santa Fe road, in
whose car he will make the journey to
Oklahoma.
A year ago, when Governor Roose-
welt attended the Rough Rider reunion
at Las Vegas, N. NJ, Mr.. Morton placed
his private car at bis services, and the
same was accepted. On the homeward
journey from Las Vegas Mr.. Morton
proffered the car for use again this
year, and the governor accepted the
tender. His presence in Chicago is,
therefore, in keeping with his promise
given in June, 1899. Mr.. Morton said
yesterday:
81 have q telegram from Governor
Roosevelt in which he says that he is
certainly going to Oklahoma City, but
desires it thoroughly understood that
he is not making a political trip and
that any speechmaking demanded OF
him will be responded to only in the
character Of a private citizen"

LEADvlLLE's HOME COMPANY.
Present Daily Output From the Down
Town Bonanza Is 400 Tons.

Present Daily Output From the Down
Town Bonanza Is 400 Tons.
Shipments from this old standby are
maintained around the 40O-ton a day
mark with but little effort, and it is
understood the values are increasing.
The stock stands at $3.50 to $40, with
very little changing hands, says the
Leadville Miner. A dividend of 80
cents per share every month is a pret-
ty good profit on an investment ut this
price. 1t would be much better for the
small holders as well as the general
prosperity of the camp If this stock
We're divided into Il larger number of
shares, so that the man with n nun
dred or two to invest could purchase n
hundred or two shares instead of ten
or twenty. The present price per share
could easily be doubled, especially If
the company would set aside IL certain
amount for Il sinking fund TO purchase
fifty or sixty acres of ground in some
desirable locality upon which small
amount of the surplus could he eN-
pended in development. BY doing this
a standing would be given the stock
that could not otherwise be obtained.
When property is in bonanza form as
is this one. then is the proper time to
use portion of the funds judiciously
for developing and extending the hold
ings of the company. No one will make
kick as long as the dividends come
up regularly, but if the securing of ad-
ditional territory and development
work is delayed until dividends must
be reduced or passed entirely to ell
able the company to do this, then kick
ing will be heard on all sides. Another
reason why this should be attended to
ut once is that the price of mining
property is bound to advance rapidly
in next six months and a purchase
now will save many thousands of dol
lars to the company. Let the stock
holders agitate the subject at once.

Three Cars Plunge Into n Swollen Stream
Ruins Burn Up, Completing the Ter
rihlo Work.

Atlanta, Ca, June PA passenger
train on the Macon branch of the
Southern railway ran into q washout
one and one-half miles north of Nc
Donough, Ca, last night and was COM
pletely wrecked. e.
The wreck caught fire and the entire
train, with the exception of the sleep
er, was destroyed.
Every person on the train except the
occupants of the Pullman car perished
Not member Of the train crew escap-
ed.
Thirty-five people in all We're killed
A cloudburst broke over that section
of the country about o'clock last
night, and presumably washed out n
section of the track nearly 100 feet in
length.
Into this the swiftly moving train
plunged. The storm was still raging,
and all the car windows were closed.
Ihe passengers, secure, as they
thought and sheltered comfortably
from the inclement weather, went to
death without an instant's warning.
The train, consisting of n baggage,
car, second class coach, first class
coach and Pullman sleeper was
knocked into kindling wood by the
fall.
The wreck caught fire in few min
utes after the fall and all the coaches
were burned except the Pullman car.
Every person on the train except the
occupants of the Pullman car perished
in the disaster. There was no escape
as the heavy Pullman weighted down
the others and the few alive in the
sleeper We're unable to render assist
ance to their fellow-passengers.
For brief time there was silence.
Then the occupants of the Pullman car
recovered from their bewilderment and
after hard work managed to get out
of their car, and found themselves on
the track in the pouring rain. The
extent of the catastrophe was quickly
apparent.
Flames were already seen coming
from that part of the wreck not COW
cred by water. AS the wreck began
to go to pieces under the destructive
work of both flames and flood, human
bodies foated out from the mass and
were carried down stream by the swift
current. The storm did not abate in
fury. Flashes of lightning added to
the steady glow of the burning train
and lit up the scene with fearful dis
tinctness.
Flagman Quinlan, who was one of
the first to get out, at once started for
the nearest telegraph station. Making
his way as rapidly as possible in the
face of the binding storm, he STUN
bled into the office at McDOnough and
after telling the night operator of the
wreck, fell fainting to the floor Word
was quickly sent to both Atlanta and
Macon but no assistance was to be
had except in the latter city, as the in
terrupted track prevented the arrival
Of any train from Macon.

Breeding Lambs In Larimer County.

The large increase and establishment
upon permanent basis of tile lamb
feeding business i'm Colorado is having
marked effect upon the range busi-
ness In Larimer county. Both large and
small owners are changing their poll
cy and shaping ii more with reference
to the feeding industry. Hitherto feed
ers have been obliged to depend almost
exclusively upon the ranges OF south
ern Colorado and New Mexico for their
lamb supply. Tliis has compelled them
to resort to long and tedious trips and
heavy expense of transportation to the
feeding pens. If they can buy more
of their lambs from the nearby ranges
1t will save much of this trouble and
expense. The northern Colorado range
men will not only increase their flocks
TO supply this demand, but will en-
deavOr to breed lamb that will be
especially adapted to the making Of the
best mutton.

Foreigners and Foreigner Troops in Great
Danger In China.
Washington, June 24.-The war
branch of the government is preparing
for any eventuality that may arise out
of the Chinese situation. 1t was stat
ed by one of the highest officers Of the
army that the scale of preparations is
of magnitude that would both inter-
est and surprise the public.
But, he added, the information would
p be of even greater interest and service
to any foreign foe which the United
States may be called upon to face with
in the next few weeks or months, and
for that reason there is no purpose to
make public the full preparations max
ing to meet whatever issue arises.
All that the officials say is that both
the army and the navy, If occasion
arises, will give u good account of
themselves.
The Navy Department this afternoon
gave out this bulletin:
''This telegram from Admiral
Kempff, dated Che Foo, June Oath,
says:
"'In the ambuscade near Ten-Tsin,
June 21st, four of Walters command
were killed and seven wounded. The
names will be furnished as soon as re-
ceived. A force of 1000 started to re-
lieve Tien-Tsin to-day"

The 5000 internationals at Tien-Tsin
were hard pressed and fighting for
