own land as is Miss Alice Roosevelt
TO the people OF these United States.
And no princess of the blood royal
or any one country comes anywhere
near TO being an object Of snch
lively interest to the people of any
other country as is Miss Alice
Roosevelt to the peoples of Europe
and Asia and the islands of the
Pacific. No announcement from a
crowned head that a match had
been arranged between her royal
highness, his daughter, and his
royal highness, some other crowned
heads son. would have called forth
such food of congratulations from
high and low the world over as
President Roosevelt's announcement
that his daughter. Alice Roosevelt,
American girl, aged twenty-one,
had made her choice. For Alice
Roosevelt in the three years since
her debut has become a world per-
sonage.
From babyhood she has been
parsonage, the center of the tender
ness and interest of all her mothers
family. That mother died when her
little daughter was born, and ma
turally her family lavished on the
motherless little girl all the care
and all the affection possible, hop
ing TO make up for the loss or the
mother she had never known. To
this day the Presidents daughter
frequently goes up to her mothers
old home, just outside of Boston,
and has long, happy visits with
Grandfather and Grandmother Lee
at the old Chestnut Hill homestead.
Just at the entrance to that estate
is the little wooden church where her
moher was married, and where
doubtless the little girl dreamed
that some day when her prince came

But circumstances alter cases, and
Alice Rooseyelt's wedding on the
Eth of February next will be. no
matter how quiet, and no matter how
few may witness it, a state function.
Miss Roosevelt is now a daughter OF
the nation and the nations little
feelings would be hurt If she were
married anywhere but in the home
the nation has provided for the
family OF the President. So the mar
riage will take place in the Blue
Room at the White House.
No girl could have been more
fully equipped for stepping into the
glare OF national Importance than
Alice Roosevelt when at the age of
eighteen she made her debut The
affectionate kow towing of her
mothers family had given her a GER
tain composure, a jus. appreciation

very necessary 10 one who is called

Apart from that her father. and the
present Mrs. Roosevelt, whom her
father married when she was about
three years old. could be trusted to
bring up a child at once sensibly
and tenderly. Their high ideals OF
the duties OF fstherhood and mother
hood are well known.
Her education was a matter of the
most thoughtful eonsideration-not

THE MISSOURI SENATOR


 2 Unless the Missouri legislature elects senator very soon that stase will only have one representative in the senate of the United States
 The legislature of Missouri is republican for the first time in more than thirty years, but notwithstand- ing the republicans won a victory in Missouri last fall that party is so badly divided now that it is impotent so far as electing a senator is concerned. The legislature has ballotted from day to day for senator without avail and the republican factions are drifting far ther apart with each succeeding bal lot. Mir. Neidringhaus, who holds the republican caucus nomination for sena- tor. was bolted on the first ballot by six republicans who voted for his rival, R. c. Kerens. At the present time twenty -four republicans are refusing to vote for Neidringhsus.
 Neidringhsus is chairman of the re- publican central committee in the state. but with all the power of the machine be is unable to whip the recalcitrant republicans into line.
 The lifetime ot the legislature is fast passing sway and the republicsns of tine state are growing alarmed be- cause of their inability to end the dead look. Neidringhaus refuses to yield his caucus nomination and Kerens re- fnses to surrender, claiming that his many years of leadership and work for his pary entities him to the senator ship. A failure to elect a senator now would mean that the republicans were down and out so far as electing a sen. tor and this the leaders know very well. It IS recognized that with Fran cis Marion Cockrell as a candidate for senator two years hence the demorats would carry the state legislature and every state officer with it, hence some Of the wiser republicans are advisi ng that it would be far better politics for the republicans to elect Senator Cock rell back to his seat in the senate than to have the republican deadlock to continue to the end of the session. The recognized importance of having Senator Cockrell out Of the way in the next campaign may lead to his elec- tion by the republicans. It would be a most excellent thing to do for the good of the state.

Probably Local Man.

Thies Wilckens. a bTother-in ?law of
Fred Hass. called upon the police yes
terday afternoon and asked that the
disappearance of his kinsman be inves-
tigated. He fears the Oquawka fioater
is Fred Hass, who has been missing
from his boarding place at the Rooster
hotel on Scott street since the middle
of April. Mr.. Hass was a member of
Blackhawk Sick Relief society and had
been employed at Bettendorf in the car
shops. He drew his last pay on March
IA, and after having been i'll for sew
eral weeks he began to act queerly.
The similarity between the two names
Fred Hass' and "F. Hais," more so
because both are very similar when
written in German, together with the
word Blackhawk written on the
memorandum book. makes Mr. Wick
en- believe that his kinsman is none
but the body found at Oquawka. Fred
HaSs was also 40 years of age. the
same as the probable age of the body.
He had light hair, sparsely browning
his head, and heavy sandy mustache.

Hit by Engine.

Seymour Peterson, the Eleventh
street hagman, owes his life to one of
those miraculous escapes that occur
once in while. Strange to say, he
was struck by the Rock Island passen-
ger train No. 20, due here at CPS a.
m. but only sustained a painful bruise
of the hip and leg. Mr.. Peterson was
busily engaged in removing the weights
from the gates, when his attention was
attracted by westbOund freight train,
but he did not see the eastbound pas
senger train. Mr.. Peterson was stand
ing on the eastbOund track, but at this
point the tracks curve so that the en-
gineer could not see Peterson in time
TO save him from an accident Mr.. Pc
terson was struck squarely by the pilot
and hurled in the air. He was taken
to his home at 400 Eleventh street.
where it is thought he will soon re-
cover unless he has sustained internal
injlries, which is not very probable.

Outing at campbeIrs Island.

Members of the Retail Merchants as.
sociation have decided TO hold their
annual outing this year at CampbelTs
island. The date will be fixed for some
day late in July or early in August.
The proposition of a railroad excursion
and boat excursion were both up for
consideration The railroad ride was
out OF the question because of former
experience and lack of support. and
the boat ride was favored could a
steamer approach Moline. but the mem
bers were not disposed to take the
street car ride TO the landing in Rock
Island before and after the trip on the
water A good old-fashioned basket
picnic with games for the children and
dancing in the evening was decided
upon for Campbell's island. and the
committee viii go ahead
with the work of arrangement.
