PRESIDENT AT THE FAIR.
Spends Delightful Day at the Lou
siana Purchase Exposition.

st. Louis, Nov. 27.-Never have
more perfect conditions prevailed
since the opening OF the worlds fair
than those that marked yesterday,
which was devoted to a tour through
the expositions by President Roose-
welt, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt.
Miss Alice Roosevelt and members
Of the presidents party. 1t was
strictly a day of pleasure, and not
the slightest incident arose to mar
the perfect enjoyment of the occa-
sion. The heralded announcement
that the nations chief executive
would visit the exposition drew ire
mendous throngs, and to guard I'm
from possible danger that might men
ace him, secret service men, soldiers
and police guards abounded, and it
was considered remarkable that they
had so comparatively little to do in
preserving order. The sentiment
seemed to be unanimous in the minds
Of the thousands of spectators that
President Roosevelt was the guest o.
each one, and each did his best to
preserve order. The consequence
was that those in authority had only
to designate their wishes and instant
ly crowds parted, passageways were
cleared and hindrances quickly re-
moved that every moment of the pres
idents limited time might be occu-
pied in viewing the exposition.
This is marvellous" he said. ut
is beyond description and exceeds my
fondest expectations. / have had the
best time l ever had in my life, and
l. have seen more than l ever expect
ed to see in one days time"
From 10 o'clock in the morning I'M
til in the evening the distinguished
visitors, following an arranged sched-
ule, hurried from one building to the
next. from one part of the grounds 10
another and overlooked nothing of
interest. From the start until the
end of the tour Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Alice accompanied the president,
and fatigue was forgotten in the en-
joyment of the day.

PICKS UP RUG TO
EXI|NGU|sH BOMB
Elmer {. Thomas of Omaha
Has Narrow Escape From
Awful Death.
PROSECUTED TOM DENNlSON
Was Attorney For Civic Federation
Which Was Prosecuting the Chief
Of Police, on Charges Of Shielding
Criminals.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 23.-The home
OF Elmer e. Thomas, attorney for the
Civic Federation and prosecutor of
Tom" Dennison, who has been indict-
ed In Iowa In connection with the Pol
iock-Shercliffe diamond robbery at
1896 Douglas street. was wrecked by
. dynamite bomb at 2:16 o'clock yes
terday morning.
All Omaha Is reused over the act.
A mass meeting of the citizens and
the bar association has been called
to take action regarding the crime.
Never in the history has the excite
ment been SO intense. The Civic Fed
Grafton. of which Thomas. was the
head. has called q business meeting
and the determination Is apparent
the consequences Of the act whether 1t
is guilty or not.
Mrs. Thomas heard a slight noise
and awakened her husband, who went
to the door, thinking the place was
on fire. and just as he got to the door
the bomb exploded. The vestibule or
the house was entirely wrecked and
Mr.. Thomas was thrown to the ground.
He was covered with dirt and debris
from the porch, while the front of the
house was entirely wrecked. Mr..
Thomas describes the bomb as being
as large as a mans arm and as hav-
ing fuse attached to it. II was charg-
ed with blasting powder or dynamite,
as was proved by the fact that not
only the joists under the porch and al
so the steps leading up to the porch
were shattered and broken, but the
doors were broken from the hinges
and all the windows demolished. Tie
most dangerous feature of the whole
matter is the condition of Mrs. Thorn
as. She is in a. delicate condition,
soon to become a mother, and it is
feared that. the shock may produce
very serious results.
Chief of Police Donahue and Chief
Of Detectives Dunn visited the Thorn
as home yesterday morning but gain
ed little, II any, ciew with which to
work on the case. Chief Dunn picked
up a few pieces of pasteboari that
looked like that used in bombs. Mrs.
Thomas has recovered from her ner-
vousness.
Omaha, Neb.. Nov. 23--What may
have caused the immediate cause of
yesterdays dynamite outrage is to be
found in the fact that John J. Dona-
hue, chief of the Omaha police de-
partment, in the presence of many of
the leading citizens of Omaha, was
Monday night put on trial before the
fire and police board for failure, neg
Rect and refusal to enforce the law
relative to the closing of saloons be-
tween the hours of midnight and a.
m, and the order of the board to
eradicate prostitution outside the pro-
scribed district.
On next Monday night Chief Dona-
hue will be put on trial on the charge
Of completely with thieves and other
criminals and the charge of protect
ing them from the law. In each ms
stance his accnser is the Civic Fed
Grafton of Omaha. through it's attor-
ney, Elmer Il. Thomas. and in each the
board is asked to remove him from
the office he now holds.

respondent of the Lokal Anzeiger
sends the following:
Reports of the death of General
Kuroki persist, in spite of denials. and
are received by Chinese coming from
the Japanese camps.
"First Lieutenant Schupkoff, who
has just arrived from Port Arthur, re-
ports that the Russians have laid out
three lines of defenses, which the JAP
anese must capture before they can
reach the city. after which the Rus
SLAMS can retire to the coast forts,
which are the strongest of all. The
garrison. which comprises more than
1000 men, is in good spirits. Lieuten-

Governor Asks Court to Nuiiify Votes
In Denver.

Denver, Nov. 23.--The first gun in a
battle by Governor Peabody to retain
his seat as chief executive of Colorado
has been fired in the Supreme Court.
Attorneys H. J. Hersey and J. NJ. Wal
dron. acting for the republican party,
made motion that the election COM
missioners be enjoined from certify
ing any returns whatsoever from pre-
cinct s, ward Z, City and County of
Denver. The court set the hearing of
the motion for Wednesday, Nov. 80.
1t is the general belief among poll
ticians that If the motion is granted
similar motions will be made to throw
out every precinct in Denver, and al
so many in other parts of the state.
This, If granted, would nullify abou.
5000 votes, elect Peabody and defeat
Adams.
