aoosEvEL1.s WESTERN TRIP.

VIII Go From Chicago TO Oklsho.s Aaa
Eschew Politics ON His JoarAsy.
Chicago, June 28.-The Nmes-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 Fee road, in
whose car he will make the journey TO
Oklahoma.
A year ago, when Governor Roose-
welt attended the Rough Rider reunion
Mt Las Vegas, N. NJ, Mr.. Morton placed
his private car at his 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 ts,
therefore, in keeping with his promise
given in June, 1900. Mr.. Morton said
yesterday:
II have a telegram from Governor
Roosevelt In which he says that he Is
certainly going to Oklahoma City, but
desires 1t thoroughly understood that
he is not making political trip and
that any speechmaking demanded Of
him will be responded to only in the
character Of private citizen"

London, June 70, 3:35 A. m.-The
British cruiser Terrible has arrived at
Che Foo from Tnku with the latest
news, which is as follows:
Eight hundred Sikhs and 200 Welsh
fusiliers have effected n junction with
the American. German and Russian
forces, which had been cut of by the
Chinese about nine miles from T1en
Tsin. 1t was proposed to deliver an
assault upon the Chinese forces at
Tien Tsin last Sunday night.
at is not clear what forces united.
1t would seem that one relieving force,
cut of. had been relieved by another.
At any rate. it is apparently certain
that the allies arrived in sufficient
force at Tien TsinL Sunday to attack the
besleging Chinese"
Foreign official opinion here" said
a dispatch from Shanghai to the Daily
Express, dated yesterday, ''incline to
the belief that the worst has happened
to the legations at Pekin and to Adj
miral Seymour. Even If the Legations
were safe on June 10, there is no guar
antee that they are safe now. The
situation, in fact, grows more and
more gloomy. The entire absence of
reliable news from the capital seems to
Justify the worst construction which
can be put upon it"

at Shan Hal Kwan. Consisting Of
1000 men, left a week ago for Pekin,
and General Sung Ching's troops, num-
bering $500. left for the same place
June Is.
"a careful estimate Of the number
and armament Of the Chinese troops
around Pekin puts the total at 800, 600
and 1t is calculated that these troops
possess 22T large Creusot guns, 10
krupps and $50 Maxims.
Their supply of ammunition Is prac-
tically inexhaustible. 1t has been
mainly supplied by German firm at
Carlowitz. Fully three-fourths of the
Chinese forces are badly drilled, Who'll
ly undisciplined and quite unfamiliar
with modern weapons"

REMEv ORDERED TO 1Axv.

Foreigners and Foreigner TrO0pe IN Great
Washington, June 1.-THE war
branch of the government is preparing
Tor any eventuality that may arise out
Of the Chinese situation. It was stat
cd by one of the highest officers Of the
army that the scale OF preparations 10
Of magnitude that would both inter.
est and surprise the public.
But he added, the information would
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 good account of
themselves.
The Navy Department this afternoon
gave out this bulletin:
This telegram from Admiral
kempff, dated Che Foo, June 24th,
says:
"'In the ambuscade near Ten-Tsin
June 2fst, four Of Walters command
were killed and seven wounded. The
names will be furnished as soon a. re-
ceived. A force Of 1900 started to re-
lieve Tfen-Tsin today"
The secretary Of the navy has order
ed Admiral Remey wit the Brooklyn,
to Go to Taku and assist the army
with what troops the Brooklyn can
carry.
London, June 25.-The position Of the
International forces in the section Of
Northern China, where 1000 men are
striving to keep footing and to succor
the legations ct Pekin, appears to In
crease in peril with every fresh dis
patch. Pekin has not been heard from
direct for fourteen days. The last dis
patch was one fmploring aid. Admir-
al seymour's column of 1900 was last
heard from twelve days ago. At the
time 1t was surrounded midway be-
tween Pekin and Tien-Tsin. Possibly
now 1t has reached Pekin.
The 5000 internationals at Tfen-T Sin
were hard pressed and fighting for
their lives Thursday, and q relieving
force Of less than a thousand had been
beaten back to Taku Friday. Observ-
ers on the spot think that 10000 men
would not be too many to grasp China
firmly.
London, June GA Che Foo dis
patch to the Daily Mail, dated yester-
day, says:
1.-The attack on the Tien-Tsin relief
force was made by 10000 Chinese, us
Ing machine guns and modern field
pieces. The allies were wise in re-
treating. Forwarding detachments in
this manner is suicidal, and the defeats
Of the foreigners. even though in small
force, greatly aids the movement Of
the Boxers, which Is gaining enormous
~ through the inability of the foreign
ers to make head against it.
Practically the whole of northern
China Is ablaze. HOstilities are now
conducted on an extended scale, due to
direct orders from Pekin. General
Yang-Shi-Kai, governor of Shan Tung,
commands IL 900 foreign drilled troops
organized to high pitch Of excellence
and equipped with Mausers. 1t was in
the plans that these troops should 70
to TaKu. but the seizure of the forts
was effected before they could get
there"
The guns of the Chinese around
1ien-Tsin are superior to anything the
defending European force has or n
likely to have for some time.

We must rise to an appreciation OF
the educational advantages offered our
boys and girls, for ignorance IS recos-
niZed as curse-a menace to clylllZa-

1t is the duty of evel.J parent and
every one else interested in a commu-
nifty to be jealous of the advantages Of
fered for the education of the children
of that community to the extent of de-
string to see them bettered. The op-
portunity is yours to send Your chill
dren to school. Will you lose the priv
ilege:: 1t is important that every child
be given the advantages offered for an
education. You have a corps of faith
full and efficient teachers in the persons
of Mr.. J. S. Boyd, Miss Maggie De-
Laine and Mrs. S. H. Boston.
Pupils have advantages OF training
in grades as far as the High School as
they prepare for them.
Trustees and teachers are deSlrous OF
enkindling spirit of enthusiasm among
the patrons that they may all consider
the Importance OF the effort OF estab-
fishing a graded school in your midst.
The school must not be lost sight of, if
YOU would have it do the important
work. There is something for each
one to do in this important effort.
Very respectfully yours,

The Methodist church was crowded
to overflowing last Thursday evening
to witness the marriage of Mr.. Joseph
Legrand Wells and Miss Roberta New
ton Wells. For an hour before the an
nounced time, in order to be certain OF
seats, a large crowd gathered and
waited on the outside for the doors to
open. when at last they were opened,
the ushers were kept busy for a consid-
erabie time seating the large conccurse
of friends and relatives. The pulpit
and chancel were beautifully decorated
with white and green. At the appoint
ed hour the wedding march played by
Mrs. J. L. Wilson, was the signal for
the approach of the wedding party.
The attendants entered, the ladies up
the right aisle, holding in their hands
beautiful bouquets of carnations,
and the gentlemen up the left: the
bride came in on the arm of her sister
Miss Mayme Wells, and the groom en-
tered upon the arm of Mr.. Joseph
Sprott. Jr. The attendants took their
positions behind the chancel facing
the audience. The bride and groom
were proceeded by little girls, Lottie
Hall. Helen Thames, May Wells and
Marion Wells, each bearing baskets Of
flowers. AS the bridal couple met at
the chancel, they joined arms and faced
Rev. P. B. Wells the officiating minis
ter. who performed the ceremony. At
ter which the couples returned to the
parsonage in the following order:
Mr.. J. w. Rigby and Miss Eva
Sires.

carried with them the good wishes OF
this entire community.
