Burton, a prominent business man Of
Wheaton, Mimi, was tile victim of a
distressing accident here, when he was
accidentally shot by his brother-in-law
j w Berg, with whom he was visiting

that several Of the shot had gone
through the framework Of the chair or

gone through a bank book which he car
ried in his pocket. n. n. s

Enthusiastic Demonstration Ac-
companied the Brilliant Page
ant at National Capital.
The Acceptance Speech Was by
President RooseveIt-Many
Dlgnitaries Present.

Washington D. c., Nov. Io.-Amid
the enthusiastic demonstrations OF a
great concourse of people, the bronze
statue of Frederick the Great, a gift
of Emperor William to the people oil
the United States, was unveiled today.
Seldom has an event presented so many
brilliant features of military pageantry
and at the same time given occasion
for the manifestation Of the strong
bonds of friendship between the Ger
man Empire and the United States.
The ceremony OF unveiling occurred
on the esplanade of the Army War
College in the Washington Barracks
reservation. Surrounding the statue
were great stands to accommodate the
many officials and guests invited to
take part in the exercises. On every
hand the colorS of the United States
and Germany were blended. Within
the ampfitheatre formed by the stands
were gathered the representatives OF
every branch of the government, in
cluding the president of the United
States and members of the cabiner, the
chief justice and associate justices OF
the United States supreme court, the
chief of staff of the army, the admiral
of the navy, senator's and representa-
tiyes Of Germany designated by En-
peror William. The special commits
sioners representing his imperial maj
esty- were Lieutenant General Won
Loewenfeld and Major Won Schmettan,
both of whom are descended from of
fcers of Frederick the Great. With
them were the German ambassador,
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, and the
entire staff of the Germany embassy,
all in brilliant diplomatic uniform,
while the diplomatic corps was repre-
sented by the British, Russian, Italian
and Mexican ambassadors and the
ministers from many foreign coun-
tries.
A troop of cavalry escorted Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the. members OIL
the cabinet from the white house to
the scene of the ceremonies. Wher
the president arrived at the stand the
entire assemblage rose and greeted
him with cheers. After an impressive
Invocation by Bthop Satterlee, Presi.
dent Roosevelt delivered the address

voice and with great earnestness
pausing frequently at the outbursts o.
applause. As the president concIud-
ed his address the Baroness Speck yor
Sternburg caught up the cords to the
flags enveloping the statue, and the
massive bronze figure emerged through
| the folds of red, white and black. Al
the same instant the boom of an artil-
iery salute CAME, from battery oI
heavy guns near by, and the strains ol
the German national anthem came
from the Marine Band.
1t was an inspiring moment, and, led
by President Roosevelt, the entire as
semblage, joined in cheering. An
other demonstration occurred at the
close of Baron Speck Won Sternburg's
speech when he spoke of the strong
| ties Of blood and sympathy binding
together the people Of America and
the Fatilerland. Another speaker who
received an ovation was Assistant
Secretary OF War Oliver, who spoke
on behalf of the war department, in
the absence of Secretary Taft.

The announcement of their engagement
caused sensation in social circles, as
Miss Stokes had been sued for by
many a rich young man whose life is
spent with horses or in his automo-
biles. But she chose the sincere and
earnest young man who came from
Chicago little more than three years
ago. I
Minetta Lane has long held a record
for crime. Formerly it was the CEN
ter of dangerous and vicious dis
trict. The red lights have been dim
med and out in most instances, but in
the low, hovel-like buildings crime
abounds and filth reeks. 1t is the
purpose of Hunter and his wife to cir
culate among these people and show
them how to improve their living.

IRON his book about European cities:
"Colors shrek and flame; the Mus
coyitc eye sees only by emphasis and
by contrast; red is completed either
by another red or by bright blue
There arc no shades, no reticences,
no mOdulatiOns. The restaurants are
filled with the din of vast mechanical
organs, with drums and cymbals; a
great bell clashes against chain on
all the trans, to clear the road; the
music which one hears is a ferocity of
brass. The masons who build the
houses build in tOp-boots, red shirts
and pink trousers; the houses are
painted red or green or blue; the
churches are like the temples of saw
age idols, tortured into every unnatur-
al shape and colored every glazing
color"

His Shavinu Muu in Tree,

The Webb City correspondent sends
this debated but interesting item
regarding a storm which took place
near Neck City a few days ago: 81.
N. Scott was not at home on the
night of the storm last week, hay
ing gone to a neighbours, some little
distance away, and being prevailed
upon to stay all night on account of
the threatening weather. When he
arrived at what should have been
his home next morning he found that
his new two-rOom house had disap-
peared, not a trace of it was visible
anywhere in the vicinity.
His shaving mug and brush, which
were in the house at the time of the
storm, have been fOuni in a tree two
miles away. This leads Mr.. Scott to
believe that if he had been in the
house at the time he would have had
a long and perilOus trip. kansas
