N. DAKOTAS

IT WILL BE THE ,.=
ROOSEVELT LOG CABIN
Roosevelt Dakota Home viii Be Sent
10 tine Lewis and Clark Exposition at
Portland for q State Building for the
EfickertalIs. n tr

Portland, Ore, March 3.-The cabin
used BY President Roosevelt in North
Dakota, during the time he was pur-
suing his career as a deputy sheriff and
stockman, will be brought to Port
land from St. Louis, where it was on
exhibition, for the Lewis and Clark
Exposition.
Considering that in short few years,
\ President Roosevelt, the then unas-
suning young stockmar, has changed
his abode from a crudely constructed
log cabin situated in. the heart of
North Dakota, to the pais Val White
House at Washington, this exhibit
should arouse unusual interest among
the visitors to the Lewis and Clark
Centennial.
The North Dakota appropriation
now amounts to over $4,000, and as
1 the exhibit is being steadily increased,
it bids fair to surpass any of the state
displays. Several excursions will be
run to Portland from North Dakota,
and the state commission is striving
to have the number Of visitors regis
tered from that state by the turnstiles
equal, if not exceed, all others. As
soon as. is practicable, the Roosevelt
cabin will be shipped here in parts
from ST. Louis, and erected at the Lew
is and Clark Exposition grounds.

AT WASHINGTON.
I Washington, d. c., March 3.-De-
tectives have been brought to Wash
ington from all the principal cities OF
the United States for the protection
of the tens of thousands Of Inaugural
ton visitors. Many of the visitors
here to see President Roosevelt take
the oath OF office are simpla-minded
people from the rural districts OF the
country--ti1ec very kind the crooks ant,
pickpockets of the large cities follow.
1t is we'll known that several of the
most dangerous confidence men OF the
country have been attracted to WASH
ington. Besides these there are the
usual assortment of hotel thieves,
.pickpockets and other varieties OF the
fraternity. The detectives
from the cities know these crooks on
sight, so several have been brought
from New York to look out for New
York crooks, Chicago detectives to
keep an eye on bad men from that
city, and. SO on. There are more than
100 of these sleuths. here. Whenever
a professional crook is recognized he
will be arrested. He will be PUT in
Jail at once and kept there Until the in-
auguration is over. 1t will not be nee
essary for him to commit crime be-
fore he lands behind the bars. If
there are any old charges on which
these professionals. many of them ex-

Morris IVES taken to the county Jail
from the Deacciless hospital yesterday
morning, hasing fully recovered from
the effects of the poison. When brought
before the board Of insanity he soon
convinced the members that his mind
was affected. When asked where he
was born and where his parents lived
he declared that he had never been
born at all. The first place of resi-

sin. He stated that he had been
kicked by horse when four years old
and mark on his forehead showed
that the kick had been a severe one.
Iii is believed that this may have some
thing to do with his insanity.
Morris continued 10 tell about all

and claims that he has been after two
