With That Trusty Double-Barrel.

Manassas, Va, Nov. I'm the ftful
glare of locomotive lanterns President
Roosevelt at 4 80 this morning, started
briskly from the private car in the railroad
yard here and greeted cordially the little
group of newspaper men, special officers
and railroad men who had gathered to see
him start on his hunt for wild turkeys.
He was attired in khaki suit with leg
gings, a long heavy overcoat and black
slouch hat.
A servant handed to him fine double
barreed shot gun which he threw familiarly
into the crook of his left arm. The presi-
dent and Secretary Root we're joined at
once by Surgeon General Rixey, Secretary
Cortelyou and ]. T. Leachman, sheriff of
Prince William county.
In the Cold, Gray Dawn.
Sheriff Leachman was to act as guide
of the party OH the turkey hunt. Preceded
by railroad men bearing lanterns, the presi-
dent and his party trudged for a quarter
of mile along the maze of tracks to the
carriages in waiting to convey them to the
shooting grounds. They were followed by
servants carrying a big hamper of mineral
water and luncheon. AS he walked briskly
along, the president remarked to Secretary
Root: II have tramped like this before
in my time"
Yes" responded the secretary with a
suggestion of irony in the tone of his voice,

active exercise so restful to the weary
mind as the tramping of railroad ties

and preceded by Sheriff Leachman and a
secret service officer in buggy started
for the hunting grounds, about four miles

taining servants and messengers with the
luncheon.
This morning the party hunted over a
fine preserve of 900 acres, known locally
as the Ben Lomond place and occupied by
Representative John r. Rixey, brother
of Surgeon General Rixey. While the
president hoped to add wild turkey or
two to his hunting trophies, he said ne was
here particularly for the needed recreation
the outing would afford him and for the
purpose Of going over the historic Bull Run
battle fields, which he never had visited.
After the mornings hunt, the party as
semblcd about noon at the Henry House
which is in the very center OF the opera
tions of the first battle of Bull Run. There

HIGH OLD TIMES
AMONG THE BOYS
YOUTH OF BUTTE DID THINGS TO
EVERYBODY LAST EVENING
ALL OVER TOWN.

"Youse fellersll come to order and
screw up your listeners for hearing de re-
port OF de exec'tive kermittee."
Willie McAllister, president of the
Minors union, mounted on drygoods
box and presenting not the slightest sug-
geston that he had taken his morning
bath, squeaked out the above commands
in strident tones to the members OF
young America who gathered in one OF
the alleys on East Park street this morn
ing to discuss the methods of torture
which they had inflicted on Butte cti-
zens for the Halloween of 1909.
After he puckered up his mouth two or
three times for the purpose of getting
strangle hold OH a few words, said to be
listed in Wcbster's unabridged, he
launched into gymnastic foresenics which
will hereafter stamp Willie as the Butte
Marc Antony Of the alleys. In compli-
mentng the youthful brethren ON the un-
casness they caused the old maids of
Butte, the nerve-racking which they made
bald-headed fossils withstand, the door
bells they nearly tore from every door in
Butte and the signs they changed, his ora
tory was such as to promise to the COM
munity another Heinze.
They Were the Limit.
An now fellers," he concluded, "get de
cotton out'n yer ears and get next ter
how it WIZ all done in de report datll
be read to yer by Connie Doyle, de loyal
and fruitful chairman of de exec'tiv kerr

Chief OF Police Donahue has received for
ty-hve applications for the position Of police
matron Of the city Jail, made vacant by
the resignation of Mrs. NJ. e. Little, and
incidentally is almost on the verge Of nerv-
Gus prostration because Of 1t. Yester-
day a woman past so years Of age who
walked with the assistance Of a cane, Of
fered to sacrifice herself for the good OF
the town and for the $50 per. The chief
suggested that the applicant was too old
and that she was not strong enough to at
tend to the duties devolving upon the po-
lice matron. without a word the woman
who was in her prime when the civil war
was fought, hobbled to the door Of the
once, and then turned and after making
q profuse bow, said to the chief: Sir, l
did not come here to be insulted. / wouldn't
take that job II it was the last one
on earth. Good morning; l hope your wife
will teach you some manners"
A majority Of the applicants are young
women and one, after learning that the
chief would not consider a person who
contemplated matrimony inside Of two
years, came with a signed agreement,
promising to refrain from keeping COM
pany with any man or policeman for the
space Of three years, providing the agree
ment did not bar me from writing letters
to q male acquaintance" Others refused
90 consider the position at all when the
marriage proposition was mentioned to
them. And in the meantime no one has
been chosen, and the reception room is

NEW PAVEMENT IS NEEDED
Mayor Again Calls Attention to Con-
dition of North Sixteenth
Street Surface.

Mayor Moores has written a letttr to the
city council, calling attention to the de-
plorable condition Of many of the asphalt
streets, with special reference to Sixteenth
street.
you will remember" he writes, that
last year l made a fight against the repair
ing OF Sixteenth street, claiming 1t should
be repaved with a new concrete base. This
year the street is, If anything, in a worse
condition than ever. The council should
devise some means OF repaving this street,
as it is a waste of money to repair it every
year.
THE terrible condition of some of our
asphalt paved streets is a menace to life
and property. Our fire department is con-
stantly having repairs made on account of
breakage, as no matter how careful a driver
is he annot avoid all of the holes and
ruts."
At the last meeting of the city council a
communication was received from City En-
gineer Rosewater, saying that only $4,000
was available for use in the repair of as
phalt streets.

Life of Her child.

Because Fred Gates has chosen the gaso-
line stove for his favorite plaything his
wife Mary wants a divorce. In her petition.
filed in district court, Mrs. Gates intimates
that Fred is in the habit Of coming home
full OF enthusiasm and red liquor and cele-
brating his requirement Of the jag by fancy
Nominations on the gasoline stove. The
woman AYERS that her husband performs
some remarkable feats with the blue
flames, remarkable because they are given
without blowing up the whole neighborhood.
She is afraid that Fred's luck in playing
with fire will fail him some day and then
the house and all that is in It will go up In
the flames. Incidentally, Mrs. Gates charges
that her husband has failed to provide
properly for her support. They were mar
ried in Omaha September 4, 1891.
Mary E.. Wagner is another woman with
a story which she thinks ought to bring her
a decree of divorce. She was married to
Conrad Wagner in this city in November,
1894, and now she complains that Conrad
is a cruel husband and an inhuman father,
In her petition she relates that Wagner
took their 2-weeks-o old child by the heels
and swung it about in much the same man.

FAST TRAIN is FORCED OFF
Northwestern Drops Sleeping Car for
Chicago from Its Eastbound
Fast Mall.

AS announced in The Bee last Tuesday,
the e~leven-hour passenger service on the
Chicago G. Northwestern railway between
Omaha and Chicago will be discontinued on
next Sunda". orders to this effect reached
Northwestern officials here from the Chi
cago headquarters yesterday afternoon.
1t was learned that the discontinuance OF
this service was due entirely to pressure
exerted by the other four trunk lines maxi
ing the same run. The quartet pooled and
compelled the Northwestern to abandon its
unprecedented passenger run for the jour
ney.
The only change on the part OF the
Northwestern will be to remove the sleep
ing car from No. 10, the fast mail. The
train itself will still continue as 1t did be-
fore the sleeper was put on it. This leaves
the fastest time between Omaha and Chi
cage eleven hours and forty-1ve minutes,
made by the new Northwestern Union Pa
cihc Colorado special trains to be inaugu-
rated Sunday.
