THE RECEPTION.
Promptly at IL o'clock the trumpeters of
the Marine Band sounded a fanfare an
nouncing the approach of the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt and the immediate receiv-
ing party. President Roosevelt, with Mrs.
Roosevelt on his arm. descended the main
staircase and, passing across the main cor
ridor and through the green room, entered
the blue room, where the guests were re-
ceived. Following them came the MEM
bers Of the Cabinet and their accompanying
ladies' The receiving party was arranged
in the arc of circle in the bow window of
the blue room. Facing them were the ladies
invited to assist at the reception. Between
the two sections of the receiving party a
lane was formed by cordons of old gold
velvet. Through this lane the callers
passed from the red room, proceeding
through the green room into the east room
and thence down the staircase into the
east terrace and passing into the street
Shortly after the receiving party as
sembied in the blue room the reception
proper began. The introductions were
made by Col. Theodore A. Bingham, the
Presidents Military aid, assisted by Maj.
Charles McCawley. Capt. John r. Proctor,
Jr., and Lieut. Frank Mccoy. The officers
were In full-dress uniform.
The members cf the diplomatic corps

Herr Won HollebeD, the German ambassa-
dor. occupied the post of honor at the head
of the line.
All of the ambassadors and ministers

tnelr uniforms weighted with wealth of
gold lace and rich ornamentation and dec

met members and ex-.Dinisters of the
United States.
AT 1l:3O O'Clock the reception of senator's,

turned to Washington from their holiday
vacation.

Ladies and Children Invited

All ladies and children who can
not stand the shocking strain Of
laxative syrups, cathartics, etc, are
invited to try the famous Little
Early Risers. They are different
from all other pills. They do not
purge the system. Even a double
dose will not grippe, weaken or
sicken; many people call them the
the Easy Pill. W. H. Howell,
Houston, Tex, says nothing better
can be used for constipation, sick
headache, etc. Bob Moore, La
tayette, Ind, says all others grippe
and sicken, while DeWitt's Little
Early Risers do their work well
and easy. Sold by
Opera House Drug Store.

ported that this victim of foul play was

formed that the case has been preseu,es to

II no, be wise for our County Court TO give
this matter their attention and allow small

small Pi,ianee each year for this purpose.
There would be less crimes committed and
the people would feel more secure with this
