borg or the Tuileries in the palmieat days of
the Bourbon queens while the chaste purity Of
scene auggested glance into fairyland.
A hundred Marcheil Neil roses lent their
delicate perfume to the air, and the room was
lighted by acores of tall wax tapers in candle
sticks OF antique mould, and mellowed by
yellow shades Of rose design. The long dining

Leaves Track at Poor Farm
Curve"

Number 8, the Chicago & North
western fast mail train due in this
city at $50 a m, had all kinds of
trouble last night and early this
morning.
The FIRST accident occurred on
the Eastern Iowa division, when
the train had an encounter with
the unfastened door of a refriger-
ator car. The heavy door broke
in the door OF the mail car, de-
molished all the window frames
on the north side of the car and
otherwise dis6gured the cars Of
the train. The windows and doors
of the mail car were nailed up
with boards and the train contin-
ued on it's journey.
With Engineer johnny jackson
in charge, the train started on the
trip from Boone to Council Bluffs
several minutes behind time.
When the train struck, what is
known among railroad men, as
the sPoor Farm Curve" between
Woodbine and Logan, the engine
was travelling SO fast that il was
impossible to round the curve and
stay on track, The trucks under
the engine left the rails and
bumped along on the ties for
distance Of about half mule be-
fore the tram could be brought to
a standstill. With the appliances
carried for just such ali emergency
the engine was put back on the
rails and the trip to Council
Bluffs resumed at speed thnt
would cause one to suppose that
such thing as wreck never hap
pened.

Crawl Through Transom.
Hans Larson, proprietor of the
900" restaurant, was robbed of
$50 in cash and other valuable
papers last night by burglars who
either are Missouri Valley pro-
ducts or have excellent advices as
to the lay of the land hereabouts.
For several weeks past Mr. Lar
son has kept quite sum of money
aud valuable papers in his private
room over the restaurant but day
before yesterday he banked al
most all the money and made
other disposition of the papers.
Yesterday evening between Z and
7:3O o'clock, burglars went up
stairs over the restaurant and
after picking out Mr. Larson's
private room, forced the transom
over the door and after gaining
an entrance to the room proceed
ed to ransack every nook and
corner. The burglars evidently
took their time in doing the work
as nothing was unmolested. A
roll of bills amounting to $50 was
found in a bureau drawer, while
Mr. Larson's check book and
papers were taken from their re-
posito,ies. The police are work
ing on the case and it is possible
some arrests will soon result.

REVIEWED SCHOOL CHILDREN
Fifty Thousand San Francisco Youths
ShOwered the President with Bouquets
Mrs. Mckinley Rapidly Calming.

San Francisco, May 22.-Fhe con-
valescence of Mrs. Mckinley is very
rapid and she is fast regaining her
normal strength. She was able to sit
up Tuesday and read the papers. So
marked is her improvement that it
is very probable the presidential
party will start for Washington next
Saturday. If no untoward develop
ments should occur it is thought that
Mrs. Mckinley will be able to endure
the journey by that time.
President Mckinley Tuesday re-
viewed nearly $4,000 school children
of this city. Both sides of Van Ness
avenue from Jackson to Market
streets were lined with cheering and
enthusiastic children as the presi-
dent and members of his party and
local officials in carriages were driven
from Jackson to Market and back the
avenue to Jackson. The president
was the recipient of continuous
ovation. Almost every child had been
provided with a good sized American
flag and their voices and flags were
worked in unison. Each little girl
wore white, and most of them had red
sashes. Thousands of the youngsters
had gathered large bouquets, which
they threw at the president as he
passed along.

PHILL1PsBURG KANSAS FRIDAY,-MAY a. 1901.
FORMALLY DEDICATED.
The Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo
Launched with Brilliant Ceremony
Roosevelt a Guest of Honor.

Buffalo, N. Y, May 21.-In the
presence of a vast concourse of peo-
pie, with ceremonial both conven-
tional and novel, the Pan-American
exposition was dedicated formally
yesterday. The day was fair and last
night the Industrious, energetic men
who planned this great enterprise, re-
joiced in fattering success. The day
began with a parade in which there
were men from nearly every country
in the world and ended with an
aerial bombardment from flying
bombs and a brilliant electrical illu-
mination. Between the two were the
formal exercises of the dedication,
with oratory that took it's theme
from the lesson of the time, prayer
for right, music, song and poetry.
The procession that formed at the
city hall and marched by way of the
main thoroughfares to the exposition
grounds was an interesting spectacle,
and thousands of people lined the
route. Vice President Roosevelt was
the guest of honor and when he
reached the hall the parade was
started with volley of aerial bombs.
From the shores of the Pacific Pres
ident Mckinley sent a congratulatory
dispatch. kilograms or letters of con-
graduation were also read from the
governor general of Canada, the pres
idents of Hayti, Colombia, Peru, Ecua-
dor, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Paraguay,
Argentina and Santo Domingo and the
governors of Jamaica and Martinique,
The first of the ceremonies on the
grounds was the fight of 10000 hom-
ing pigeons. The pigeons, suddenly re-
leased from their captivity, rose in a
great mass, circling round and round
through the towers of the buildings,
rising higher and higher, until grad
uaily as they got their bearings they
darted away, first in pairs, then by
the score, until all had disappeared to
the four points of the compass, bear
ing their messages announcing the
dedication of the exposition.

FITz JOHN PORTER DEAD.
He Was CashIered from the Union Army
During the Civil War, But Was
Afterward ExOnerated.

New York. May 22.-Gen. Fitz John
Porter died at his home here Tuesday,
after a long illness. Maj. Gen. Fitz
John Porter was born in New Hamp-
shire in 1922, was graduated at the
military academy in 1S45, served hon
orably in the Mexican war. He was
made a brigadier general of volun-
teers in 1862. A warm friend of Gen.
Mcclellan, he served with him as COM
mander of the Fifth army corps in the
early battles of the army of the Poto-
mac. His trouble began with the sec
ond battle of Bull Run, upon charges
of inaction on the first day of the
battle. He was cashiered after pro-
longed court-martial in 1868, and dis
qualified from holding any office of
trust or profit under the government.
Gen. Porter fought to have this YER
dict set aside and finally an advisory
board reviewed the case and wiped
the sentence out. Gen. Porter was re
stored to the army and retired on the
rank of colonel. Even Gen. Grant be
came convinced of his innocence.
