have enjoyed two terms.
Besides the prescribed state levees
and banquet, President Roosevelt has
given private dinners galore and last
winter he was the host at numerous
musicales at which three hundred
guests were invited at time Indeed
White house hospitality grew to be so
lavish toward the end of the season
that Mrs. Roosevelt's private secretary
was accused of compiling alphabetical
lists OF thousands of more or less dis
tinguished Washingtonians and tran
sients of the capital and of supplying
these names en- bloc to the official ad-
dresser and filler-in of invitations.
And from all indications the present
winter will eclipse the two just passed
in extravaganza of executive hospital
ity.

HERD OF deer
GIVEN TO STATE
Provision Made that Animals
Must Be Let Alone for
Several Years

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller
TEKAMAH, Neb., Dec. IA letter
has been sent from here to State Game
Warden Carter from j. p. Latta, presi-
| dent of the First National bank of Te-
kamah. offering to present to the state
a magnificent herd of deer, to be re-
leased by him in suitable parts of the
state, provided the sportsmen and
hunters of the state will agree not to
Kill or interfere with the animals for a
period of years; that the deer be per-
mitted to multiply and once more stock
the shooting preserves with large
game.
Mr.. Latta is the owner of a large
ranch in the northern part of the state
and has devoted much time and ex-
pense to the raising of deer. The herd
was started from a nucleus consisting
OF half dozen fawns, several bucks
and few does. 1t is now the largest
domesticated herd of it's kind In the
world, and Is increasing in a graft
fying manner. The animals run at
large upon the big range belonging to
~N' ~~0NS~'s Uio WIFI the
and horses. They are wild, but not
more so than some cattle They will
run at the approach OF a man, but do
not pay much attention to a cowboy
or other person on horseback. For some
time Mr.. Latta has contemplated the
wisdom of releasing twenty or thirty of
them along the banks of western Ne
braska streams, but has refrained from
doing so through fear of hunters A
single deer released four years ago was
killed before it was ten miles awav
from the ranch. In his letter, Mr.. Latta
states that the deer killed at Homer.
Neb., by George Johns was not from
his herd and was undoubtedly a wild
one. He is anxious and willing to re-
stock Nebraska with deer but first
wants the assurance of the hunters that
The animals will be given an opportun-
ty to establish themselves before the |

CELEBRATING THE centennial
OF THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE
New Orleans Will Honor the Occasion With
Three Days Civic, Military and
Religious Ceremonies

| Especial Telegram to Evening Teller J
NEW ORLEANS, La, Dec. 1.-THE
presence of the warships of three ma
tons and the attendance of scores OF
prominent visitors from various parts
of the country give promise that the
celebration of the Louisiana Purchase
centennial, which begins tomorrow and
continues three days, will surpass in
scope and brilliance the most sanguine
expectations>o it's promoters. Visitors
are already arriving in large numbers
and the crowded streets and public
resemble the Mardi Gras throngs.
New Orleans is particularly pleased
over the presence of the Spanish man
of-war Rio de la Plata, which is the
first Spanish war vessel TO visit this
country since the Spanish American
war. The new French man-of-war
Graviere is also here, while the United
states navy is represented by the
cruiser Minneapolis and several smaller
vessels.
During the three days of the celebra-
ton there will be civic military and
religious ceremonies, a co.onial ball. a
colonial exhibit and a naval parade
Though there will be several parades
and other spectacular features, the
program in its entirety has been so ar
ranged as to appeal more to the stu
dent of history than to the ordinary
sightseer Conditions are favorable to
this arrangement, as all the old build
ings connected with the transfer are
still standing in very much the same
as they were a century ago.

place in the Cabildo. the government
