~ When Theodore Roosevelt and
4 his guides left Tahawaus Club
early yesterday morning on a
hunting expedition, the Vice-President
fully believed that President Mckinley
was entirely out of danger and on the
rapid road to recovery. The hunting
party moved in the direction of Mount
Marcy, the highest peak in the Adiron-
dacks region.
They had not been gone over three
hours when a mounted courier rode rap
idly into Tahawaus Club with messages
to the vice president. stating that Piesi-
dent Mckinley was In critical condi-
ton. The message had been telegraphed
to North Creek and from there telephon-
ed to point ten miles south Of Taha-
waus. Extra guides and runners were at
once deployed from the club in the d.
rection Of Mount Marcy. with instruc-
tions to sound a general alarm In order
to find the vice president as soon as pos

searching mountaineers as they climbed

as the afternoon merged with the shad-

mountain, the responsive echoes Of dis
tant signals were heard and answered.

be elaborate, embracing all the varied

other respects, the coming Exposition
will surpass the Columbian and Paris

A Story By Pierce.

The late ex-senator Pierce used
to tell this story, in which Colonel
Plummer was the leading figure:
One day, while Plummer was
travelling from Grand Forks to
Fargo, a gentleman somewhat
active in Indiana politics ap-
preached him with an invitation
to contribute something toward
building a monument to Thomas
A.. Hendricks. The colonel
thought it an odd request. but re-
piled very politely:
Nothing would give me greater
pleasure" said he, ethan to con-
tribute to a monument to a dead
Democrat, but I really haven,t got
the money"
"Don't you think it a worthy
object?"
Certainly" responded Plum
mer. "When a Democratic poll
tican has the decency to die,
everybody ought to chip in cheer
fully. The whole party would
have died long ago if it had any
shame"
Il think you are pretty hard,'
said the solicitor. :'The Demo-
cratic party has outlived every
other party, and it will live when
you are dead, and when the Re-
publican party is dead"
II don't doubt it," returned
Plummer, in his quiet, deliberate
manner. MANY good things have
passed away. The glory Of Jeru-
salem has departed. The law OF
Moses is no longer in force.
Washington and Lincoln are dead;
but hell is still alive and the devil
is kicking, and until they have
been destroyed, we may expect tc
find the Democratic party gallop.

THE BRADY MINORS
Effort to Remove Them From the
 Custody of Their Mother.

A case possessing some of the ele- ments of q. romance was tried in pro- bate court yesterday afternoon. It was the hearing of a petition for the revo- cation of the letters of guardianship of Mrs. Henry Harrop of the heirs of the late Thomas l.. W.NBrady. Mrs Har- rop is the mother of the heirs and the petition was filed by Charles Wing. a relative. The petition contains several allegations. the most important of which is that by reason of the presence of their step-father. Harrop. they are in immoral surroundings. from which they ought to be removed, especially the female children. before they be- cone old enough to become contami- mated.
 The petition was nled about a week ago. after the Harrops had announced their intention to remove to Mexico. They lived near Lchi- They were over taken with a summons before they had got very far.
 An attempt was made to show at the hearing that Harrop was of polyga- nous tendencies and that at the time of his marriage to Mrs. Brady he had two wifes living in the same vicinity, one n Mexican woman and the other an Indian. This testimony was not ad-
 
 confined to a showing of Harrop's pres ent immortality, or his immortality since his marriage to the mother of the chill dren. If that could be done there was an animation that his past record might be gone into. The Harrop fam fly has been the subject of a great deal of scandal within the last year or two and II was thought that a part of it might be brought out at the hearing. but so far none Of an extremely sensa- tional chara acter has been developed.
 The Brady heirs present were two boys and two girls. They are all bright and the eldest daughter, who is about A. is almost handsome. Harrop is D years of age and not especially pre- possessing.
 An interesting incident of the case was the alignment of two bishops of the Mormon church. Bishop Jones was on the side of the petitioner while Bishop Sorenson lent his support to the other side. The case will probably be concluded today

HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES
A Big Cowboy Tournament for De-
 cember 25th. and 26.

Until yesterday nothing was an- nounced as a special attraction to liven things up in Phoenix during the hoIi- days. But there was something doing in quiet way all the time. A number of prominent citizens had requested Jack Gibson to get up some sort of a tournament that would entertain peo- pie and he went 10 work to see what could be done, with the result that he has now made all the preliminary ar rangement for big steer-tying and broncho busting tournament on Christ mas day and the day following.
 The purses. he says. are not as large as they would have been if he we're a millionaire pr if he were backed by a state fair. but they are large enough to be an object for those who know how to ride horses and throw a rope and think they can pick up easy money whenever they see 1t lying around
 But the money will look easier than it really will be. for the events are to be really scientific exhibitions of skill and no one will be allowed to enter except those who are already prize winners. It is not to be kindergar- ten school for pale faced kids who want to learn to ride horeback. but an oc- cssion where knights of the rope will bump against opponent who have all ready won their spurs. MT. Gibson is backing the enterprise alone and as he has to furnish the steers he will see to it that no pet stock is turned loose in the rin-.
 Phoenix park has been secured for the tournament and the exhibitions on both days will take place in the after noon.
 For the steer tying three prizes will he offered-S5o. s3o and s20 The con testants win each be required to tie one steer each day and the first prize will go to the man tying his steers in the least time. An entrance fee of 8 will be charged for this event, and no one will be allowed to enter who has not previously secured some sort of a prize for similar work in the territory.
 On the second day the three prize winners will be given d chance at a supplementary event that means Si0 for someone Four steers and the three prize-winners will be liberated at the same time. The man who ties his steer first and gets his rope on the odd one gets the money
 On each day there will be a broncho riding contest free for all and no en- trance fee. There will be two purses -NzD anu si0.

Among them are the following: Ed Horrell of Globe, who wen the territorial championship at the Carnival: oscar Roberts. an in vinciblc from the Verde country. and Joe Bassett of Buckeye. who already has q reputation to maintain Charles Davis of Phoenix. another carnival winner. and Robert Harper. who took

VICTORIA TRYING TO SERVANTS

Even in the royal household the post of housemaid is apparently no sinecure. and I remember long ago hearing a story of a lady who. while engaging a new servant. naturally made the in : quiry as to why she had left her last place." IL came out then that she had been last employed at Buckingham palace, and that she had left because ''realy her majesty (the late cueen) was that particular that after you had done dusting everything, quite as much as necessary, she would pass her lace handkerchief across a table or a chair and notice even the tiniest ck." |" Even Buo kingham palace is not good enough for servants nowadays, it seems, was told of the late quee-s that she as So difficile as to the mak- ing of her bed that it took the cham bermaids two hours daily 10 make it. as the undersheet had to be most carefully ana smoothly stitched 70 the lower mattress so that there never was the slightest wrinkle, which story recalls the fairy tale of the princess and the Crumpled rose zeaf.-Onlooker.

There is but single medicine which is radical specific for catarrh. It is Peruna, which has stood a half century test. It has cured thousands of cases of catarrh. Ninety times in hundred, those who have been cured of catarrh by Peruna thought they had some other disease"
 The remedy to cure catarrh must be able to reach the mucous membranes, and this is exactly what Peruna does. Peruna operates at the fountain head. Peruna produces normal, clean and wig orous mucous membranes. Catarrh can not remain in the system if Peruna is used according to directions.
