HOW OUR WESTERN TOWNS GROW
AS SHOWN BY THE POSTOFFICE

Washington, Oct. S.-The annual re-
port of the auditor of the postoffice de
partment for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1901, will show a marked increase
in the gross receipts and net earnings
of the several presidential postoffices
in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mex
leo. In a sense. the postal receipts re-
fleet the general conditions of COM
munity, and healthy advance in pos
tai showings is an irrefutable evidence
of generally prosperous conditions
The following table shows the gross
receipts and net revenue of the offices
named for the year just closed, as
contrasted with the corresponding fig
ures for the year previous:

heart talk regarding the changes
which five years have wrought in their
careers. Five years ago President
Roosevelt was out of business, both
as civil service commissioner and as a
member OF the police board of New
York.
Leonard Wood was then only an as
sistant surgeon in the regular army
with the rank of captain. The ad-
vent of the Mckinley administration
worked wonders for both men. DR..
Wood was selected as the presidents
physician, and this gave him a promi-
nence he might not have secured after
years Of faithful service in an obscure
position. Theodore Roosevelt, after
considerable Of a campaign, was ap-
pointed assistant secretary of the
navy. When the war broke out Roose-
welt himself conceived the idea OF or
ganizing Rough Rider regiment. but
chose Wood as the colonel instead of
taking the place himself.
Today Wood is a brigadier general
in the regular army and governor gen.
eral of Cuba. He is SO young that in
the ordinary course he is destined to
become lieutenant general in command
of the army OF the United States. His
former lieutenant colonel is now presi-
dent Of the United States, and it was
perfectly natural that the two men
should put in little time in
solemn contemplation of the swift
ness with which Providence works at
times.

Presenf Ruler of China.

Kwang-Su, formerly known as Tsai-
Tien. is the ninth Emperor of China
of the Manchu dynasty of Using, which
overthrew the native dynasty of Ming
in 1914. He was born in 1871, and at
that time nobody supposed that there
was the slightest chance of his sue
ceeding to the throne. His predeces-
sor. Tung-Che, died in 1875, and the
empress dowager and the Manchurian
Princess held a meeting and selected
Tsai-Tien. son of Prince Chung, as
successor to the throne. Prince Chung
was the seventh brother of the EN-
peror Hien Fung. There is no doubt
that Tsai-1'ien was made Emperor be-
cause of his extreme youth, and the
consequent fact that there would be
long minority during which the dow
ager empress would be nominal as well
as actual ruler. However, he was
chosen, and the name Kwang-Su, or
Glorious Successor" was given to
him. His education was conducted by
the supposedly wisest man Of the en-
pire and when he was fifteen years old
he was married to bride chosen by
the dowager empress. Immediately
after his marriage Kwang-Su formally
assembled the throne with much cere-
mony. but he has been cipher in the
affairs of the nation ever since, and on
only very rare occasions has ever been
allowed to receive the foreign minis
ters. The dowager empress is the real
ruler.-Indianapolis News.

forms the lobby, to the left of which
are the telegraph room and a larger
apartment where the routine work is
carried on. The small room in the
southeast corner is used by the Presi-
dents private secretary, while the
large room adjoining is the Office of
the President. Adjoining the Presi-
dents office is the room where cabi-
net meetings are held, handsomely
frescoed and furnished. and contain
iEg number Of private portraits.
The private apartments. which are
shut off from The official wing by a
screen door at the ,ight of the public
stairway, are reached by long corri-
dor. The first one is the library. a
beautiful oval room, which serves as
the family sitting room. and. with its
books and pictures, is the cheeriest
and most home-like OF all the apart
ments. Next is the Presidents room.
which still retains its old-fashioned
grandeur of canopied bed and crimson
satin hangings. The bedrooms on the
north are usually set apart for guests,
although the northwest room was oc-
cupied by President and Mrs. Cleve-
land during their first residence.
1t has long been seen that the pres
ent White House is entirely inadequate
to the social. domestic and business
necessities which are enjoined on the
President, and 1t is not improbable
that some changes will be effected
during President Roosevelt's admins
tration.

Washington, June 1S.-Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition continues to improve,
and there was ne consultation of
physicians at the White House during
the day. Surgeon General Sternberg,
one of the consulting physicians, has
left for the Philippines and Dr.. Rixey
did not consider it necessary to cali
DR.. Johnston, the other: consulting
physician. If the present improve
ment goes on it is expected Mrs. Nc
Kinley will be able to travel soon
after July /. The president will then
accompany her to Canton, where the
Mckinley home has been made ready
to receive her. How long the presi-
dent and Mrs. Mckinley will remain
in Canton will depend upon the bene-
fit Mrs. Mckinley receives from her
stay at her old home. After she has
been there for some time, if the wealth
er is oppressive1y warm and her physi-
clan recommends a change, the presi.
dent probably will take her to some
quiet place in the mountains or at the
.seashore. In any event when the
president departs for Canton with
Mrs. Mckinley early in July it will be
to remain away from Washington for
the remainder Of the heated term. He
may return for day or two, once OF
twice during the summer, but he will
mot again take up. his abode at the
White House until fall.

passed through the extreme south

from this city. The first house de-.
stroyed was that of a Mr.. McC Cormack.
The family consists of Mr.. McCoE-
mack and wife and three children, all
of whom We're seriously injured: The
storm was preceded by a heavy down
pour Of rain and dense darkness. A
scho oolhouse a mile and a half from,

stroyed, scarcely a board two y feet
long can be found. The residence OF
Mr.. Gardner, five miles from McCor-

Gardner was somewhat injured but
his wife was severely hurt. The third
house struck was that on the Palmer
farm, where one person was severely
hurt and much property destroyed.
The Gi1lispiei home was partly de-

injured. Other farmers suffered losses
and many cattle and / horses were
