ECHO OF SIOUX cITY's COON.
Daniel 7. Hedges, the Leading Spirit,

Passes Alvey.
Sioux CITY May 2.-Danicl T.
Hedges died In San Francisco yester-
day morning at his home, I'll Ellis
street. Ten years ago he was a multi
millionaire in Sioux City, leader of a
syndicate of boomers who built rail-
roads. terminals, street car systems,
stock yards and carried on a multi
Elicity OF immense enterprises.
April %, 1893, the Union Loan and
Trust company of this place, which
was the financial engine of the
Hedges syndicate, failed. In few
days it was found that 1t had liabilities
of seven millions and almost no as-
sets. The same day Hedges failed for
about two millions. Then others of
the syndicate failed. The Union Stock
Yards company. the Sioux City and
Northern railroad, the Sioux City
Terminal railroad, and Warehouse
company and many other allied con-
Germs.
The boom in Sioux City came to an
abrupt end. All the failures imme-
diately related to the Hedges syndi-
cate operations aggregated some
twenty millions.
Hedges left Sioux City and has since
been in California, endeavoring to de-
yelop mining enterprises. 1t is under
stood he was poor when he died. A
San Francisco telegram to his rela-
tives here say he died from inhaling
gas from gas heater. 1t is not known
whether ii was suicide.

he added. Thank you" Another out
burst of applause, which was long
continued after he had spoken about
fifteen minutes, caused him to laugh
and remark to President Francis:
Nov, they think I'm DONE" and when
the applause died away, he went on
with his speech.
The Presidents Address.
At the conclusion of President Fran
els address terrific cheers broke forth
to greet President Roosevelt, whose
dedication address was. In part, as
follows:
I'VE have met here to-day to com
memorate the hundredth anniversary
of the event which more than any
other, after the foundation of the gov
eminent and always excepting its
preservation, determined the char
acter of our national life-determined
that we should be a great expanding
nation instead of relatively small
and stationary one.
"Of course 1t was not with the
Louisiana purchase that our career OF
expansion began. In the middle of
the revolutionary war, the Illinois re.
gion. including the present state Of
Illinois and Indiana, was added to our
domain by force of arms. as sequel
to the adventurous expedition of
George Rogers Clarke and his frontier
rifiemen. Later the treaties of Jay
and Pinckney materially extended our
real boundaries to the West. But none
of these events was of SO striking a
character as to fix the popular imag-
ination.
Career Of Expansion.
when we acquired it we made evil
dent once for all that consciously and
OF set purpose we had embarked on
career of expansion, that we had
taken our place among those daring
and hardy nations who risk much
with the hope and desire of winning
high position among the great powers
of the earth.
This work Of expansion was by far
the greatest work of our people during
the years that interviewed between the
adoption of the constitution and the
outbreak of the civil war; Never be-
fore had the world seen the kind of
national expansion which gave our
people all that part Of the American
continent lying west OF the thirteen
original states; the greatest landmark
in which was the Louisiana pur-
chase.
Lack Appreciation.
Our triumph In this process of ex-
pansion was indissolubly vound up
with the success of our peculiar kind
Of Federal government; and this sue.
cess has been SO complete that, be-
cause Of its very completeness, we
now sometimes fail to appreciate not
only the all-importance, but the tire.
mendous difficulty Of the problem with
which our nation was originally
faced
when the fathers OF the republic
first formulated the constitution I'M
der which we live, they began the ex.
pertinent almost Immediately by ad-
ding new states to the original thir-
teen. Excellent people in the East
viewed this initial expansion of the
country with great alarm. Exactly

good people in the mother country
