Theodore Roosevelt is DARN

Theodore Roosevelt is daring
and reckless, impulsive and am
bilious, and has heretofore dis
played a warlike spirit. Let US
hope as president he will tame
down. AS the chief executive of
the greatest nation of the globe
he should display more discretion
than he has formerly shown in
more numble walks.

says:
"The radical Clarke organs are
making friends and votes for
Senator Jones every day. Mis-

make votes for the other fellow.
The fact is, though, the friends

tearing their clothes or giving
themselves much uneasiness
about the final result OF the sena-
torial race"

tragedy was upon Union last evening.
The murder was the only topic of con-
versation. People gathered In pairs and
groups and talked of the new horror

stood about with terror on their child
tish faces and spoke to each other in low
tones of the one prevailing topic. Moth

this. Country people came in to view
the scene of the occurrence and CLEAN
the details of the terrible deed enacted
there. The village was quiet but be-
meath its quietude was the sonlber I'M

There was but one sentiment expressed;
detestation for the murderer and sor-

Special to Times Republican
Cedar Falls, June 19.-Marshal Kelly
was called upon by a miserable looking
tramp last evening who asked for a
nights lodging in the city prison. He
was dirty. ragged and generally delapi-
dated. He had applied to the hotels for
aid, but owing to his condition and his
desire to be accommodated without re-
enumeration he was turned down. He
slept in the prison over night and this
morning hunted up Assessor Knapp to
pay taxes on four lots III the eastern
part of the city. To the assessor he
gave the name of Nj. Tannan and the
name was familiar, as the official has for
the last thirty-three years assessed these
lots to such person, but never dreamed
that he was common tramp. He
wanted to sell the property and found a
buyer. but flaw in the title barred the
Gale. There stands on the records an in
cemnity bond for 800, given in 1862,
which has not been satisfied. He said
he could pay and proved the assertion
by opening his clothing, which showed
his body to be literally clothed in paper
money. He had bills sewed to his shirt
and bills in his shoes. Wads of money
tied in dirty bits of taper and hid in
various ways about his person. He
would not divulge the name of his resi-
dence and no one knows him here, as
this is the first time he has appeared in
person. altho the taxes on the property
lave been paid promptly each year. He
claimed to some to be the owner of a
business block In st. Louis, but this part
Of his story could not be verified.

and other farm produce to make the
amount reach s9.272. Out of this amount
