Colonel Wall dropped in to thank the
governor for his appointment
Don't thank ne, colonel. was the

Brigadier General John @. Cannon
came in. Well he cried when he
caught sight of the governor, you

amt you?"
20. no. was the reply. Il saw nv
duty and did it; that was ALL" Then
the brigadier said something to the
man behind the counter that made
everybody smile.
Invited TO Meet Roosevelt.
Afterward General Cannon said that
Governor Roosevelt had refused to ride
In the parade today but he would take
a private horseback ride while in the
city and he invited Governor Nebeker
to be one of the party, and he said that
there would be no politics in it either
The governor said very graveIy that he
would take the matter under consider

Colonel Bruback Explains.
Colonel Theodore Rrubacl< was tho
busiest man in town trying TO explain
to his friends how it happened and how
1t felt to have his head taken off with
out due notice. It was stated, too, that
the colonel was very much worried
fearing that he would not be reinstated
In time to take part in the Roosevelt
parade Some went even farther and
said that he had concealed his uniform
TO prevent his successor from getting
it to use in the parade. These reports
do the colonel a great injustice, as he
himself says that he did not intend to

that technically am out but / am in

Visit to Mccormick.
One of the most pleasing incidents of
the day was the visit that Governor
Nebeker paid to W s. Mccormick at his
bank
Mr., Mccormick" he said. 4 wish
you would resign as president of the
board of regents of the State Agricul-
tural college"
''why?'' was the somewhat anxious
inquiry
well. 1 have come to the conclusion
that there should be practical farmer
and moi a banker at the head Of that
institution. Now, you may have been
good farmer forty or fifty years ago.
but you are not an uD-to-date farmer
now, and I think that we should have
modern farmer at the head of our
agricultural school"
The laugh was on Mr.. Mccormick, but
he did not resign, and the new COVER
nor ran up against that law again that
Few die and none resign
In the general shaking up of the
morning it was said that Warden Dow
of the state penitentiary had been
thrown out of his position and that

State Auditor Richards was one of
those who sSw the serious side of Gov

the office while he held down the guber-
Material chair the auditor made a COM
putatiOn, with the result that he found
$5.47 would be the sum due Governor
Nebeker. Then the thought struck the
auditor that the law would not permit
drawing a warrant for. such a claim
and sure enough he discovered a pro-
vision that whoever temporarily fills
the office of governor is not entitled
to receive any enloluments over what
he is entitled 10 in his inferior position
