Another operation was performed
Sunday on the abcess on the left leg
of President Roosevelt. In the former
operation a simple needle was used
to relieve the trouble, but Sunday the
surgeons with knife made an Incl
sion into the small cavity, exposing
the bone, which was found to be
slightly effected. The presidents case
has been progressing satisfactorily,
but it is believed by the physicians
that the further operation made today
will hasten his complete recovery.
While none of the doctors is willing
to be quoted they give the most posi-
tive assurances that there is not the
least cause for alarm, and say that, on
the contrary, there is every indication
Of speedy recovery that the area of
bone effected is very slight and will
not result in any impairment of the
presidents limb, and that there is no
evidence whatever Of any matter that
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently expect that the president
will be on his feet within a reason
able time and with his robust condi-
tion to assist recovery, soon will be
himself again.

Advertising is to the merchant
what plowing and sowing is to the
farmer. Imagine farmer trying to
raise crop by sitting on the fence as
he looks over ten acre field wishing
that nice crop of wheat or corn
would spring up in it. Ridiculous,
isn't it. But not any more so than
the merchant who hides stock of
goods away in storeroom and then
sits ON the counter. hoping that peo-
pie will come and buy.

The speeches made by President
Roosevelt in his tour to the middle
west, which was unfortunately cut
short by his having to submit to a
minor surgical operation, were every.
where received with commendation.
It is not known what he would have
said had he been able to complete his
trip. but he has placed himself square.
ly on record in each speech, giving
his personal opinions upon national
questions with an open frankness
that appealed to his hearers as sound,
practical republican doctrine in each
instance. Two of his utterances are
new and of great Importance, i Q, the
declaration at Logansport, Ind. in
favor Of a bipartisan commission to
revise the tariff, thus taking the
tariff out of politics; and the Cincin-
natl declaration that the tariff does
not afford a shelter for monopoly, and
that the trusts cannot be controlled
through tariff revision. At Detroit
he also favored reciprocity with Cuba
and at Indianapolis spoke in favor OF
a large navy as a surety for peace
and for the safety of the Monroe doc
trine, points which he had previous
ly made prominent in his New Eng
land speeches. These four PROPOSE,
tions. no doubt, will be accepted AZ
the Roosevelt policy and outline the
principal matters to be discussed in
his forthcoming message to congress.

MOOSE HEAD FOR TEDDY.
Citizens of Valdez, Alaska, Give Presi-
 dent Birthday Present.

Washington, October 2S-A party of citizens of Alaska called by appointment upon President Roosevelt today and pre- sented a magnificent moose head one of the finest specimens of the kind ever mounted. The antlers measures fifty four inches from tip to tip, The mount ing bore this inscription:
 ITO Theodore Roosevelt, from the citi- zens of Valdez. Alaska, in token of their esteem and in recognition of his friend ship on his A4th birthday October 27. 1902"
 The members of the party were intro duced by Representative Wooten of Tex as. The party extended an invitation to the President to visit Alaska on hunt ing trip, assuring him that if he would make the trip he would be afforded an opportunity to shoot Polar bear. The party urged upon the Presidents atten- tion the conditions, resources and nec- essities of the territory. It was pointed out to him that while there are sixty-flve thousand American citizens in Alaska, they have no government no representa- ton in congress and are subject to regu- lations entirely inaplicable to their con- dition. The President was urged to com mend to congress the particular desira- bility of legislation to protect and pro- mote the interests of Alaska.

 The conference of regents always as- sembles many of Alabama-s most distin- guished women, those prominent in pat riotic movements and who represent an organization to which the country is in- debted for the preservation Of it's most valuable relics and historical data.
 It Is most representative assemblage that will gather today to discuss matters pertaining to the progress and work of the Alabama D. A. R., an organization prominently identified with the work of the national body. of which Mrs. Fair banks is president general.
 The occasion, aside from it's deeply pat riotic significance, is one Of great social brilliancy.
