GERMANS SEE PRESIDENT.
MT. Roosevelt Declares a Eulogy ol
 the Teutons.

Ln0 xSuCOnS.
 Washington. Nov. 19-President Roose- welt received to-day about 15O representa- tives of the German Societies of Wash ington to whom he delivered a brief ad- dress The delegates called on the Pres ident formally to announce to him the opening next Monday evening of their celebration of the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the founding of Germantown, Pa. and to ask him to participate in 1t. The President will press an electric button at the White House which will flash cleo tric lights, opening the celebration fin Convention Hall.
 President Roosevelt during his short address. spoke of the part the citizens of German birth and extraction have played in the upbuilding and preserva- tion of the nation dating from colonial and revolutionary times down to the pres ent day. His closing remarks on this theme was as follows:
 Tn the Civil War 1t would be difficult to paint in too strong colors what we might call the importance of the atti- tude of American citizens of German birth and extraction towards the cause of union and liberty, especially in what were then known as the border States It would have been out of the question to keep Missouri loyal had 1t not been for the German element therein. It was the German portion of the city of St Louis which formed the core of the union cause in Missouri. And but little less iu- portant was the part played by the Ger mans in Maryland and also in Louisville and other portions of Kentucky"

Birmingham.

The mans head was completely severed from his body, his left leg al- most cut off and he was horribly man. gled in other parts of the body. Cliber used a wheelbarrow to haul trash that he collected on the tracks under the shed. While. at work this morning about 7:3O o'clock a lever car came along on one track and the engine on the other. Cliber got out of the way of the lever car and got in the way of the engine and was run over. The old man is sur vived by wife, three sons and two daughters. One of the gate tenders saw Cliber standing on the track on which the engine was moving and cried to him to get out of the way, but the noise was evidently too great. The body pre- sented fearful sight after the engine had passed over it.

AFTER THE STUMPS
Gentlemen Are Looking Over Country
Around WaShburn.
THEY MUST HAVE OLD STUMPS
Probability That They Will Put in a Plant
to Extract Turpentipe and Tar
From Norway and White Pine
Stumps.
THEY MUST HAVE OLD sTUMPs

A couple of gentlemen from Min
neapoIis have been in the city this week
looking over the situation with view
of starting an establishment here for
the manufacturing of turpine and tar
out of pine stumps. The gentlemen
were taken in charge by Mr. +. K.
Preston, who took them out through
Che country to view the extent
of stumps. There is a de-
mand for norway and white pine
stumps more that eight years old from
which this product can be secured,
and as there is an abundance of old
stumps all through this part OF the
country it is very reasonable to pre-
sumo that these gentlemen or some
others in the same line of business
will open up an establishment. An
institution of this kind will employ
considerable labor, and the location
of such a plant here will be a very
desirable addition to the enterprises of
this city.

Charles FLYNN Sells the Institution
and His Real Estate.
SCHLITZ BREWING COMPANY
The Above Concern are the Buyers of the
Property and the Purchase Gives
Them Control Of the Saloon Bust
ness of this City.

The Washburn Brewery has
been sold to the Schlitz Brewing
Company, the deal having been
closed Tuesday. 1t is under
stood that the consideration was
between eight and nine thousand
dollars. The deal does not in
clude the building, which belongs
to A. w. Sanborn, of Ashland.
Mr.. Flynn has been expert
encing a good deal of trouble
owing to the defects in the titles
of the property which he pur-
chased of the old brewing as
ISOLATION, the result being that
possession of the buildings was
held only by expensive litigation
and trouble. He finally discour
aged of trying to keep oft the
fight, and sold out to the Schlitz
people. The sale includes the
real estate of Mr.. Flynn, includ-
ing what is known as the Hull
bert House, Bundle Bee saloon
and several other buildings.
The sale places the saloon bust
ness of Washburn pretty clearly
in the hands of the Schlitz peo--
pile. It is not looked upon as
very probable that they will
continue to run the brewery, al
though the chances are that it
will be re-opened under new
management.
