President Holds Almost Continuous
Reception on Day Before
Inauguration.

Washington, March president
Roosevelt's final day before his inaugu.
ration to the presidency was almost a
continuous reception. So great was the
pressure from visitors upon the presi.
dents time that the regular semi-week.
ly cabinet meeting was abandoned and
Mr.. Roosevelt gave up as much Of his
time as he could possibly spare from OK.
ecutive business to greeting and shak-
ing hands with callers He said to his
friends that this day of all others his
time belonged to the people and It A.
forded him genuine pleasure to meet
them and exchange with them even q
transient greeting.
No formal engagements were made
that might trench upon the presidents
time. The callers were received prac-
tically as they appeared at the execu-
tive Offices, all officials OF the white
house cooperating with the president IN
the effort to avoid any unnecessary con.
session n the ofRcas.

Simple Ceremony in Senate Chamber
Marks Event.
Second only in Importance to the In
auguration of the president, on the cal
endar of events for the day, was tho
induction of Senator Fairbanks, Of
Indiana. into the Office of the vice
president of the United States in the
senate chamber The ceremony was
brief and simple to the extent Of be-
ing severe. Immediately following the
address and oath of Vice President Fair
banks came the final adjournment of the
of the special session.
Shortly before IL the special guests
began to arrive. The president was
seated in a big red leather chair i'm
mediately in front of the desk of the
presiding officer and was an interesting
spectator of the ceremony in which he
himself had participated four years ago.
The induction ceremony did not con-
sumo more than two minutes OF time and
was administered by Mr. Frye, presid-
ing officer Of the senate.
With the last positive thump Of the
gavel upon the desk Senator Frye re-
linquished his position as president pro
TEN. by announcing the end of that
body. Taking seat to one side Mr..
Fairbanks took his place and began his
inaugural address. This was followed
by the prayer of DR.. Edward
Everett Hale. Then the organiza-
ton of the senate was complete
ed, the oath in each case being ad.
ministered by Mr.. Fairbanks. Immedi.
ately upon the adjournment the guests
began to file out of the gallery and prep.
arations were begun for the inaugura-
ton of the president.

MANY. FIRES IN TOWN.
Did Little Damage and Were Really
aGood Thing for Many People.

Did Little Damage and Were Really
Good Thing for Many People.
There were quite number of small
fires yesterday which were actually of
q good deal OF benefit to many people.
In the first place they helped the
trade of P. A. Clemmer, our popular
Druggist, as he sold the Wadsworth
Bros. "Chicosn which were burned.
Then they benefited the smokers, for
it certainly is benefit to any man to
find cigar for &c. that will give him
more satisfaction than l0c. cigars
have before.
We might say tru thfully that these
cigars were good thing for many
others, as nothing makes man more
good natured than a satisfactory
smoke, such as he alyays gets when
he lights "Chico. I"
p. A. Clemmer has secured the local
agency for Wadsworth Bros 'Chicos,
and wants all smokers to try them
and see that at last it is possible to
get real Havana cigar, we'll made,
good size, free smoker, delicious fla
yor, for Sc. Bitter trya "Chico" on
his recommendation. mar 7-17.2s

ured during his career, administered
the oath to the president. This was the
fourth and last instance in which the
chief justice is to be the second figure
OF Importance. Hardly had the presi-
dent finished his inaugural address and
disappeared within the capitol building
than the hush which had fallen upon
the spectators when he raised his hand
preparatory to taking the oath was
broken by the deafening roar of 81 guns
In official salute to the executive, just
entering upon his second term as presi-
dent.
The rendezvousing of the troops, COM
mittees and civic societies entertained
the crowd throughout the long wait in
ctdent to the schedule. The various or
CARNATIONS arriving by different routes
passed into the narrow deflles which the
police kept open, the brilliant uniforms
Of the troops, the bright sashes of the
committees and the rich caparisoning
Of the horses lending themselves to a
kaleidoscope, panoramic effect. Cheers
upon cheers greeted the constantly
shifting picture.
AS rapidly as the troops arrived they
took the positions assigned them. The
military escort stretched far to
the left and consisted Of all
branches Of the service-horse,
foot and artillery. To the right
were grouped division after division OF
state troops and in different places Of
honor the other organizations took their
stand to await the signal to move.

troops and organizations were not all

WHY IT SUCCEEDS
Because Its for One Thing onlv
and cresco is Learning This.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing will brings success.
Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing only
They are for sick kidneys.
They cure backache every Kidney
ills.
Here is Cresco evidence to prove it.
Mrs. P. Ferrie, wife of r. Ferrie,
teamster, says:
clam in doubt as to the date when I
first noticed symptoms of kidney COM
plant but two years ago the aching
across my back was SO pronounced that
no doubt existed, in my mind, but that
my kidneys required attention. l
grew worse in PLACE of better and
finally a spasm of pain occurred 30
quickly and unexpectedly that ! drop
ped helpless and had to be carried to
bed. When in this condition the
slightest touch from friends assisting
me actually made me exclaim. For
days was 80 sore and tender that it
was necessary to move me in bed with
the sheet. I improved slowly only to
have a recurrence and as these spells
continued was confined to my bed
the greater part Of dthe time. Now
when one has been under the best OF
treatment given by skilltul physicians
and when medicine OF all kinds fail to
do Its promised work you eventually
become discouraged, so that when l
went to tho Shuttleworth Drug Co. s
store for Doan's Kidney Pills expect
ed very little. If any result. Much TO
my surprise, and certainly great
deal more to my satisfaction, the
treatment proved very efacacious. A
continuation of it has so lessened the
pain in my back and improved me
general condition that am able to
attend to the or binary household du-
ties without inconvenience. For the
undoubted benefit received from
Doan's Kidney Pills am more than
pleased to recommend them.

cheering itself hoarse. President
Roosevelt raised his right hand and took
the oath which binds him in support
ing the laws and constitution Of tho
United States. with great reverence and
amid deep silence. So great was the
awe of the assembled multitude that
not the semblance of a demonstration
followed. Then the president began his
inaugural address, and as soon as he had
finished and disappeared within the
capitol the signal was flashed to the
navy yard and the salute Of 81 guns
told the end of the ceremonies and the
initial step of the presidents entrance
into his second term of office.

Shortly after noon, just following the

Fairbanks, the monster stand, decorat-

ing, began to fill with the people who
lad just finished witnessing the cere-
monies in the senate chamber, and
scarcely half hour passed before this
cotgn Of vantage was filled to over
Sowing. Added to the color afforded by
lhe plants and bunting were the brill
liant costumes of the women, and these
put on a touch of variety which rivaled
the occasion of four years ago. Every
ledge about the capitol and the win
dows were filled to the point of overflow
ing with their human burdens, and long
before the official party appeared the
streets were damned as far as the eve
could reach.
Several minutes before one o'clock an
aztra loud burst of cheers from the
multitude just in front of the main
capitol door called the attention from
the brilliant parade of uniforms in the
street to the official party, which had
just come through the main door. "The
president, there he is" and similar
cries came from the assembled popu-
lace, but the nations chief was not to
come for some moments.
A hush was noticeable in the crowd.
