TRIP TO ST. LOUIS.
President Roosevelt Will Visit the
Worlds Fair November as.
Committee from the Missouri City
Persuaded the Chief Executive
to Contribute His Presence
During the Last Week.

Washington, Nov. 1L-President
Roosevelt has decided to pay q visit
to the st. Louis exposition and will
leave here in time to be in st. Louis,
November 26. He made this promise
last night to a committee from St
Louis headed by Mayor Wells, who
came to Washington especially for the
purpose Of inviting him to visit the
fair. The probability is that the presi-
dent may remain in st. Louis until the
night of Sunday, November q.
1t is expected that the president and
those who will accompany him will
leave here on Thanksgiving night and
will reach st. Louis early Saturday
morning. The invitation to Mr..
Roosevelt, 1t is understood, is compre-
hensive enough to include any other
persons whom he may wish to have
with him and some of the members Of
the cabinet are likely to accompany
him. The members Of the committee
are highly elated with the promptness
with which Mr. Roosevelt decided to
visit the fair. They feel that his at
tendance will have an excellent effect.
They say that arrangements will be
made for a fitting programme for that
day.

SENATOR STONE IS BITTER.
Declares Missouri Democratic Cara
paign Was Conducted by hncom-
Observation-Disclosures 10 Bryan.

Jefferson City, No.. Nov. lin an
interview here on the election, United
States Senator Stone said: "As to
the state. perhaps the least said about
that will be best. What could we ex-
pect to come out of such a campaign
as We have had in Missouri? II de-
liberately We commit the blunder Of
putting the party In the hands of in
competent and inexperienced men Of
mediocre abilities, who denounce the
democratic administration Of the state
and the democratic organization. and
who strive to discredit half the demo-
Gratis who have always followed the
party flag without faltering and done
most for democratic success in the
state while, at the same time, with
unexampled esotism they paraded
their own virtues and performances,
what occasion is there for surprise
that we are met with defeat?
II agree with Mr. Bryan that the
real democrats of the country should
now reorganize the party on demo-
cratic lines and put the organization
in the hands Of men whose party fidel-
ity cannot be impeached. If those
who ran the national organization this
year could not, with our help, make
Us good showing as we made under
Bryan's leadership, when they were
fighting us, they ought now to be will
ing at least to meet us half way and
give some heed to our view when we
come to the work of reorganization"

The waves OF the rushing food Tapped
the shore In a soft pounding that was
as insidious and as sure as an epidemic.
The fireman shook himself and began
shoveling coal into the furnace mouth.
Moore touched a cock here and there; a
squirt of boiling water from one, sizz
OF steam from another, and he looked
satisfied with the signs.
Shake her up, Dick" he urged. 1--WE
have got steam enough to 60 on. but
we've got to have enough to go like

The conductor returned in a short

Maybe you can't do 1t, and we'll have

fully for answer, but with q firmness
showing he had the best courage OF
