crowds thronged the streets; bands of
music paraded at the head of military
and fraternal orders, and the entire
city has been a blaze of gorgeous col
ors. Flags and streamers floated from
every building. while the main streets
were hung with almost solid walls of
bunting. During the morning excur-
sion trains over all the roads entering
the city brought loads OF visitors to
attend the exercises in honor of the
soldier president. Each of the roads
had granted special rates for the occa-
sion and the perfect weather drew one
of the largest crowds that has ever
assembled since the celebrations were
made an annual affair eight years ago.
A special train over the Illinois Cen
trail arrived shortly before l o'clock
bearing the orator Of the day, Gov.
Theodore Roosevelt, and the Chicago

Prssident!al Nomination.

Prssident!al Nomination.
Atlanta. Ca. April 2S.-The action
of Populist conventions in several
northern states in indorsing Thomas
E. Watson Of Georgia, and naming
him for the first place on the ticket
has caused something of stir in po-
litical circles all over the south. The
association of Mr.. Watson's name with
his rumored re-entry into politics took
the form, in one instance, of report
that he had decided to accept the nomi-
nation, and that he was considering
who should present his name. Mr..
Watson has stated several times that
he was out OF politics, but In view Of
recent rumors connecting him promi-
nently with the Populist nomination
the distinguished Georgian was asked
for a final declaration. The following
was received from Mr.. Watson today:
Under no circumstances would l ac-
cept any nomination or Office. Please
number me among the politically dead,
and let me henceforth rest in peace"

"Poor Row Millionaire I"

The death of Marcus DAILY left a
vacancy on the Poor Boy Millionaire
Throne in these United States; but
a new king has been found in the
person of Henry H. Rogers, who
succeeds DAILY as manager of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company.
Marvellous as was Marcus DAILY S
rise from poverty to wealth, even
more marvellous has been the rise
of this man Hank Rogers, who
30 years ago was ragged street
gammin and newsboy in New bed
ford, Mass. Now he is the comfort
able possessor of a fortune rated
at sixty-fve millions of dollars! He
got job in a grocery store at So
weel-that was his start to riches.
When oil was struck in Pennsyl-
yania he drifted into that business,
and it was his head which produced
that awful curse to the people of
America-Canada as we'll as the =.
S.-the Standard Oil Company s
Trust. Every citizen now pays
daily and nightly tribute to King
Henry Rogers, who also controls
the Copper syndicate through the
Almagamated Copper company.
But like all poor men he must die
then he will be dust like them!
Millions are of no use to anyone
when death asserts it's powers

Mr.. and Mrs. Nels Sundouist, and
Mr. J. c. Olson and his daughters,
Mrs. Hanna Nevra and Miss Petra
Olson expect to leave in the course
of a week or so for California where
they will make their future home.
Mr.. Olson visited the west a year
ago, and purchased 20 acres of fine
land in California, on which he
expects to raise an orchard, and
eventually engage in the fruit grow
ing business. All the parties are
among Washburn S best people, and
there will be many regrets for their
departure, but they will carry with
them the best wishes of all for their
success and prosperity in their new
home to be. One of the reasons Mr..
| Sundquist is leaving this part of the
country is on account of poor health,
which he hopes to improve by a
permanent change of climate.

Robert Johnson, a Retired Merchant.
LOSS is ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
The Owner Escaped by Sliding
Down a Chain.
GRAWLED OVER HALF A MILE IN SNOW

New York, Feb. 26. - The handsome
residence of Robert johnson, q retired
dry goods merchant Of this city, which
stood on the bluff overlooking the Hud-
son River at Mount st. Vincent, N. Y,
was destroyed by fire today. The damage
done to the building and furniture
amounts to about 100000.
Mr.. johnson, who was asleep IN an
arm chair on the top floor at the time,
made his escape by means of sur
veyor's chain, which he tied to bed
stead. In jumping from the top Of a
storm door to the ground, he wrenched
his back. He crawled over half mile,
in the snow, to the house of gardener
and, after telling of the fire, fell un-
conscious.
There were many pieces of valuable
statuary, oriental tugs and paintings in
the building which was destroyed. Mr..
johnson, who is 45 years old, lived
alone. He is collector of rare and
costly rugs, statuary and paintings. On
his return from the city, last night,
he went upstairs and, sitting in an
easy chair, began to read, but fell
asleep. He was awakened by strong
smell Of burning wood and smoke. II
is not known how the fire originated,
