Mansion for the President.
Pierre. S. d., Dec. 12.-Governor Lee
left Sunday for Washington, u. O.,
to attend Il meeting of the governors
of h several states on December IL,
to take action on a memorial iii COM
memoration of the establishment of the
seat of government at Washington.
The president was authorized TO APP
point a committee to inaugurate the
celebration and he selected the gov
ernors of the states. A meeting of gov
ernors was held In Washington for that
purpose last February. but nothing
definite was done. II was first thought
that q mammoth bridge across the Po-
tomac river to cost several million doll
lars would be the most fitting way to
memorabilia the establishment of the
national capital at Washington. but
the pian%Was finally given UP and 1t Is
probable that instead the committee
will suggest the erection of a separate
executive mansion for the president to-
cost more If anything than the bridge,
would have cost.
The president has long needed better,
quarters, more secluded from his Of
hce.' said Governor Lee in discussing
the matter, land there seems to be
no more fitting way of making a mes
mortal edifice than in erecting a presi-
dents house"

illeeitimate son of Mott Watson and
laid claim to the latter's vast fortune.

home and soon after his arrival in Ma

young lady of that place. A few days
after his marriage he deserted his
bride, since which time nothing has
been heard from him. But the climax
in his life has just come to light. and
IL all reports are true young Watson is
a bisamist. A few days ago there APP
peared in Maquoketa two elegantly
dressed ladies. One was tall, stately
dashing. The other was disnif1ed
and portly. Both We're dressed in the
height of fashion and they attracted
no little attention In the quiet little
town. They fhrst visited the office of
the late bride of Watson and in.
troduced themselves a the Wife

soldier. There Was IL scene when the
strangers made known their identity,
but what passed between the women
may never he known. Thei: next visit
was to the office of the Ellisonian in

Philippines. To some he said he bought
the silks; to others he told they be-
longed to a wealthy young woman
whom he had married in Manila. AT
first no attention was paid to The
stories Id told of his marriage. but
since the arrival of the two~ strangers in
Maquoketa, there is ground for the be-
lief that Watson, at times, tells the
truth. Some of the goods he sold. 9TH

he pa@ned in order to secure money to
buy a license and pay the expenses OF
