WANT A NEW ROAD.
Business Men Of Grundy Center Are
at Odds with the Rock
Island Company.

Having long complained of what they
assert is poor service by the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, the business
men Of Grundy Center have appointed
q steering committee to induce other
railroads to build into the city. An In.
dignation meeting was held recently
and the committee urged to try to In
duce the Northwestern to build a
branch from Waterloo to Grundy Gem
ter. Merchants are threatening to boy
colt the Rock Island, even II they have
to haul their goods across country.
The most recent grievance is the al,
legged refusal OF the company to build a
sldetrack to new brick and tile
works.

Groton, Mass, May 25.-President
Roosevelt, who made the trip from
Washington to be present at the Gro
ton school and participate in the an
nual prize day exercises, reached Gro
ton at five minutes past nine Tuesday
forenoon. He was met at the station
by Rev. DR.. Endicott Peabody, prin-
cipal Of the institution at which two
Of the presidents sons, Theodore, Jr.,
and Kermit, are preparing for college,
and was driven to the school. The
presidents trip from Washington was
accomplished without special incident,
save that at number of stations which
were passed after daybreak the citi-
zens, and, In some cases, the school
children, assembled to greet the chief
executive. The presidents party in
cludes Miss Carew, sister-in-law of the
president, and Secretary Loeb.
The presidential train made no stops
and the president did not make his
appearance at any point along the
route. The most notable demonstra-
tons made were at Clinton and at
Lancaster, Mass. At Clinton hundreds
Of school children were banked upon
the platform. each provided with an
American flag. AS the train passed,
the children cheered and waved their
flags. The demonstration at Lancas-
ter was similar.
On the way from Groton station to
the school the president stopped few
moments at the residence of John Law
renee, a friend who entertained Mr..
and Mrs. Roosevelt at the time of their
visit here two years ago, when thei-
eldest son, Theodore, was Ill.
The students, anticipating the arrival
OF the nations chief executive, were
gathered at the main hall. AS the
carriage appeared In the grounds, the
school yell. given with all the ell
thusiasm which the occasion prompt
ed. greeted the president. The car.
riage stopped at the residence of DR..
Peabody. and the president quickly
walked over to the hall where the stu
dents had assembled to return their
greeting. He said that he was ex-
ceedingly glad to meet and greet them.
and provoked laugh by saying:
II deeply sympathize with the two
unfortunates among you who have a
presidential father"
The president then returned to the
Peabody residence. where he remained
until 1880, when the exercises of prize
day were scheduled to begin in the
main hall.
There was some delay in beginning
the exercises, due chiefly to the desire
to await the arrival of parents and
friends of the students. DR.. Peabody
made brief address, in introducing
the president, in which he said:
1--WE like him as parent, we admire
him as president and we love him
as q man."
The audience rose to receive Presi-
dent Roosevelt. In addressing the stu
dents the president gave what he
called "homely heart-to-heart talk
with the boys"
