Charles Warren Fairbanks was sworn
in as Vice President of the United
States at high noon Saturday, in the
presence of throng that filed the Sen

more simple than that of Inaugural ting
the President.
The Vice President said:

the duties of the position to which l have
been called by my cOuntrymen with crate
full appreciation of the high honor and with
a deep sense of its responsibilities.

Grafton of many domestic questions of vast
Importance and with foreign problems of
unusual and far-reaching significance We
submit what we have done to the impartial
judgment of history.

which have been formed during my service

them always as among the most delightful
memories Of my life They warrant the be-
lief that / shall have in the discharge Of
the duties which devolye upon me under the
constitution the generous assistance and
kindly forbearance of both sides of the

pray that divine favor may attend II and
that peace and progress justice and honor
may abide with our country and our coun-

Garrett, Ind. was instantly killed and j.

injured. COgley's two legs were cut off
and one of Carr's was crushed off, so that

eight cars in one train and forty in another
and the impact was so terrific that there
was hardly solid car left in either train.

These ceremonies were very simple in

Inauguration of Roosevelt ard Fairbanks
Washington correspondence:


Theodore Roosevelt Saturday was
sworn in as the twenty-sixth Presi-
dent OF the United States of America
before a crowd variously estimated at
$4,000 to 100000 persons. Chosen by
the ballots of the people last Novem-
Der to succeed himself as President, he
took the solemn oath to execute the
laws and preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution.
The day broke cloudy and with a
very slight fall of rain, but the sun
soon emerged, the rain ceased and the
clouds partially dispersed. At 10
O'Clock, when the escort started for the
Capitol, the weather conditions were
fainrly propitious. The air was clear
and balmy, with a temperature of 30
degrees and only a slight breeze stir
ring.
President Roosevelt's face lacked the
sadness it showed when he took the
same oath almost four years ago, at
the death bed of William Mckinley.
Then he had ridden many lonely miles
over stOrm-swept mountain roads to
reach the tragic scene of his elevation;
Saturday he was escorted along the
nations grandest avenue from the
White House to the home Of Congress
between two densely packed lines of
his countrymen gathered from every
quarter TO cheer him and wish him
gOdspeed in the coming four years.
Then he had said, with choking voice:
1T shall be my aim to continue abso-
lutely the policies of President Nc
Kinley for the peace, prosperity and
honor Of our beloved country" Satur-
day he left it for his fellow citizens,
who had honored him with a greater
majority than ever before given, to
judge whether or not he had redeemed
that pledge.
When he entered the White House
the youngest President in his country's
history, besides the vast responsibii-
ties Of his office, he received as
heritage McKinley's dearest ambition
to become more and more with the
years the President of all the people.
Saturday there were represented in
the throngs that had journeyed hither
to greet President Roosevelt men
from the North, South, East and West,
and from distant islands of the seas:
from the Philippines, from Porto
Rico, from Hawaii-from every land
where floats the emblem of the re-
public.

Rough Riders from San Juan Hill, vol

An Inauguration is no cheap affair.
Money-barrels of it's required to pre-
pare for the comfort of the visitors. The
great fund that is necessary always is
guaranteed by Washington's citizens,
who in turn are repaid by the visitors
to the capital from the four corners of
the nation. The inaugural guarantee
fund, as it is called, was contributed this
year by 200 individuals, whose contribu-
tons ranged from So to $1,000

$4,000, and those for the Inauguration
