come at Medora, at One Time the
Home of the President.

Mandan, N D., April S.-President
Roosevelt has been travelling through
familiar country and received hearty
greetings wherever his train stopped.
At many places he recognized old
friends, and from his conversation II
is evident that it has been one OF
the most enjoyable days of his trip.
At Fargo, jamestown and Bismarck
he made stops of from half an hour to
an hour and discussed the conditions
in the Philippines, the tariff and the
general prosperity of the country.
Stops also were made at Cassellton,
Tower, Valley City, the home of Gov
ernor White; Dawson, Dickin and
Medora.
At Bismarck a number OF Indian
chiefs were introduced to the presi-
dent. Some Of them had fought
against Custer. The president had
traded with two of these Indians Is
or 20 years ago and he instantly rec
ognized them. The chiefs presented
an address and pipe of peace to the
president, who had few words of
greeting and thanks for each man.
The most interesting ceremony OF
the day occurred at Medora, where
the president at one time owned q
ranch and which was his postoffice
address is years ago, when he was
sheriff of Billings county. Medora "a
a small place, but the ranchmen from
the surrounding country had come
into town and they gave the president
a truly western reception. Joe Ferris,
the presidents old foreman, and his
brother, S. NJ. Ferris, met the presi.
dent at Bismarck and rode with him
to Medora.

CHICAGO GETS CONVENTION.
Republican National Gathering to BE
Held i'm the Windy City June 81.

Chicago the place, June 81 the time
that was the outcome Of an interesting
session Of the Republican national com
mittee in Washington Saturday morning.
The vote on location stood: Chicago, 43:
Pittsburg, Z, and St Louis, /.
Nobody Is quite sure who cast the vote
for ST. Louis, although it y admitted
that Col. Richard c. Kerens, national
committeeman from Missouri, may have
done so, notwithstanding that his real
choice was Chicago
Pittsburgs vote was due in part TO a
rafting good speech by Representative
Dalzell of Pennsylvania aud partly TO
Senator Penrose's declaration that Pitts
burg was prepared to present the ma
fiona! committee with 100000 in return
for the convention.
Eloquence and cash, however, were no
match for the attractions of Chicago as
set forth by Samuel B. Raymond, Ma
tional Committeeman Stewart, George
r. Peck and James j. Sheridan, presi-
dent Of the Hamilton Club.
The date for holding the convention,
June 81, was agreed upon after a brief
debate which related to the kind of
weather Chicago is likely to have In
June Some members OF the committee
were in favor OF June Z, believing that
il would be cooler then than later. Mr..
Stewart settled all doubt on this score,
however, by assuring tie committee that
the entire month of June in Chicago
abounded with the loveliest weather to
be found on the American continent.
The committee therefore voted for June
y.
The committee had set It's heart upon
Chicago, and therefore Chicago won. Mr..
Stewart pledged Chicago's credit to the
extent of $4,000 and guaranteed the
payment OF that amount upon his honor
az member Of the national committee
and responsibility as business man. He
was compelled to do this by the attitude
OF ST. Louis and Pittsburg. both Of
which cities through their spokesman and
national committeeman submitted attrac-
tive cash offers as compensation for be-
ing awarded the convention.
