IL. Sites Senator kittredge also
greeted him. The president was es-
corted to the Cataract House by de-
tachments of the two militia compa-
nies here. and enjoyed day of conf
parative rest, the first he has had since
his trip began. He attended church
both in the morning and evening and
in the afternoon went for a horseback
ride, accompanied by Seth PullOck, SUI
perintendent of the Black Hills forest
reserves.
Why He Went to Church Twice.
The fact that President Roosevelt
attended divine services twice was due
to mistake on the part of the local
committee The committee had the
impression that the president was a
member of the German Lutheran
church, and accordingly arranged to
have him attend that church in the
morning. Later, when it was learned
that the president worshjped at the
Dutch Reformed church, arrangements
We're made 10 have services held in
the evening ut the Livingstone Reform
church here. While it is not the Gus
tom of the president to attend serv-
ices on Sunday evening he consented
to make an exception to his rule when
the facts were presented to him.
Service Wholly in German.
The services in the morning were
conducted by Rev. Herman Sell, presi-
dent of the German English college at
Welton, Ia. who came here for that
purpose. The German language was
used throughout. Owing to the fact
that both in Milwaukee and Minneapo-
lis the length of the programme did
not permit the president to reach his
car until after midnight he has been
obliged to announce that hereafter he
will, in the evening, not begin speak
ing later than $50 O'Clock, and al
ways will be back in his car by 10
o'clock. He will adhere strictly to
this rule

TIES UP THE LAKE TRADE
Part of Chicago Practically Closed by
Sympathetic Strike.

Chicago, April 6. = The strike OF
steamboat firemen which has delayed
grain-laden vessels from leaving port
for several days, has taken on new
aspect. The engineers of several steam
ers have refused to take their boats
out with non-union firemen provided
by the owners for the trip to Buffalo.
This action may result in drawing the
engineers union into sympathetc
strike, although all demands of its
members have been met by vessel
owners. and contracts have been signed
for the Seasons work.
Owners of steamboats, whose engin-
eers refuse to live up to their con-
tracts threaten to bring the men be-
fore the steamboat inspectors in order
TO force them to serve or have their
government licenses taken away.
The Lake Carriers association has
refused to have anything to do with
the firemen's union unless the strike
shall be called off and has arranged
to start shipping Offices at all ports
for the employment of non-union men.

ture being erected for the Ohio River
Bridge and Ferry company, where the
plaintiff is under bond and contract for
an early completion of the work.

plaintiff have been assaulted by the
strikers and but one of the assailants
has been arrested. and his fine was
