date will be concluded with a gen.
eral illumination Of the city and
fireworks on the Washington
monument grounds, followed by
the great inaugural ball in the
Pension building, at which Presl-
lent and Mrs. Roosevelt will be
the guests of honor.
The Inauguration cost about
$4,000, which it is believed has
been fully repaid in the sale OF
grand-stand seats and ball tick
cts.
Senator Charles Warren Fair
banks of Indiana, became Vice
President of the United States
shortly after the marble-faced
clocks Of the Senate chamber reg
istered noon today. He reached
the north side of the Capitol a
few minutes after IL o'clock and
went to the Vice President s
room, which he will occupy for
the coming your years as presld'
ing officer of the Senate. Presl-
dent Roosevelt arrived a little be-
fore and was in his own room
receiving the leaders of the Sen
ate and House.
Today's closing business was OF
insufficient Importance to serious
ly engage the attention Of the
spectators, the heavy business OF
this Congress already having
been concluded for better or worse
At Ills the galleries were op-
ened and there was a quick rush
IF those possessing the coveted
paste-boards for points of van,
tage from which to view the
forthcoming ceremonies in the
red carpeted and mahogany fur,
nished pit below. The galleries
filled quickly and overfowed in
to the corridors. The gay frocks
of the women relieved the dull
background of the walls, and
with their varied colors formed a
picturesque frame for the scene
below. Among the early arrivals
were Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs
Fairbanks, who took seats in the
Executive gallery.
At noon Senator Frye, presi-
dent pro tenn, hammered the mar
BILE desk, and announced in set
formula that the Senate of the
Fifty-Eighth Congress was adj
iourned sine die; then he immedi-
ately called the extraordinary
session of the Senate of the Fifty
Ninth Congress to order.
Mr.. Fairbanks was forthwith
ushered into the chamber, the
Senate members of the Inaugural
committee acting as his es-
cort. He proceeded to the ros-
trum, where Sen. Frye admin
istered the usual oath. The new
Vice Presidents first official act
was to call upon the Senate :
chaplain. the Rev. DR.. Edward
Everett Hale, to pray.
Mr.. Fairbanks then delivered
his inaugural address, and at its
conclusion, he instructed the sec
rotary to read the President s
proclamation converting the ex,
traordinary session of the Senate
President Roosevelt was then
escorted back to the Executive
chamber, adjoining the marble
room, preparatory to going tc
the east portico, himself to take
the oath of office. Those who
gathered in the Senate today
could not well help barking back
to previous ceremonials therein

at the right hand of William Nc
Kinley, about to be inaugurated
President a second time. On that
occasion both Mckinley and Han
ma saw Theodore Roosevelt take
the oath of office as Vice Presi-
dent. Today Roosevelt occupied
the same seat Mckinley held four
years ago.
With standards waving, gui-
dons whipping in the breeze, and
regimental colors Haunting, in
fantry, cavalry and artillery
tramped, pranced and rumbled
through historic Pennsylvania av
enue.
The sidewalks were jammed.
Every window on the avenue,
many rented for the day at prices
ranging from $40 to 500 apiece,
framed eager faces. Balconies
held perilously crowded parties,
and from end to end Of the route
of march the roofs competed with
the pavements in accommodating
men and women willing to risk d
fatal misstep to watch the pass
ing legions.
There are at least 10000 visi-
tors in Washington today. With
the resident population, the par
ade was seen by nearly half a
million people.
Experienced observers say that
the procession beats all its pred
ecessors, even that Of Mckinley s
second inauguration.
There were between $4,000 and
$4,000 men in line. For three
hours the mobilization progressed
along First street, Pennsylvania
avenue and other streets about
the Capitol.
Inaugural balls are the biggest
social functions that occur IN
America. This evenings reception
at the Pension building promises
to exceed in grandeur it's prede-
cessors in the great edifice, IA
nous as the largest brick building
in the world.
For weeks artists, painters, dec
orators, experts in electrical et-
fects, florists, diapers and a host
of all kinds of artisans have la
bored and experimental IN trans
forming the vast interior Of the
barn-like building into a fairy
land of beauty, wherein the beau
tiful women and brave men OF
Washington and the nation may
pay social homage to the Presl-
dent. This they will do at SIS pei
head, and thus will be largely de-
frayed the expenses of the inaug-
uration. There will be about 12,-
900 persons at the ball. Mrs.
Roosevelts ball gown is made OF a
special weave of a new shade Of
light blue silk with figures OF
doves in gold tinsel.
Mrs. Fairbanks will wear a
gown Of white satin duchesse.
embroidered with roses of gold in
the natural size of the flower.
Every man who has the right to
sport a uniform will do so. 1t is
, safe to assert that the American
army officers in their new and
variegated dress clothes will take
their hats off to none.
The doors of the Pension build
ing will be thrown open at 8
O 'cloclt, but the President and
his party will not arrive until 9
O'Clock. They will go immediate
ly to rooms especially prepared,
carpeted. and decorated for their
reception. and a half hour later
the grand march will commence,
President and Mrs. Roosevelt
leading. All festivities will have
to close sharply at midnight, be-
cause it is believed best to tres
pass no Sabbath principles. Thus

turning the hall over to the popu-
lace will have to be abandoned,
Supper will be served between II
o clock and midnight.
Twelve hundred uniformed po-
lice, 70 plain-clothes men, detec-
tives from every large city Of the
country, who are walking ency-
clopaedias on criminals, their
habits and their haunts, insured
the success of the inauguration
from the standpoint of safety.
Precautions against possible harm
to the President were most elab-
crate. From the time he left the
White House until he returned
he was guarded by 30 experience
ed men. On either side of the car
riage there trudged a dozen detec-
tives, while keeping pace with the
Presidential party along the curb
marched another line of plain
clothes men. A squad of secret
service men followed on bicycles.
The police were determined that
one one, crazed or otherwise,
should have the opportunity from
a point Of vantage to take a shot
at the President. All cranks and
over-zealous folks who manifest
ed anxiety to get closer to the
Presidential party than the steel
cables allowed were taken IN
charge and held until the parade
had passed.
Five hundred policemen had
complete control of the grounds
surrounding the White House, the
broad expanse of Pennsylvania
avenue and the grounds of the
Capitol. Five miles of steel cable
were used as an adjunct to the
police force, stretched on both
sides of the avenue and around
the plaza on the hill.
The police were kept busy dur
ing the day arresting people who
had brought with them boxes
and chairs upon which to stand
and view the parade. A strict Or
der had been issued that boxes
and chairs would not be allowed
on the sidewalks, and all offend
ers were warned.
The strenuous efforts put forth
to keep light-fngered gentry
away from Washington were very
successful. Detectives rode into
the city on every excursion train,
and pointed out all suspicious
persons to plain-clothes men at
the railroad stations.
Washington was gala city to-
day in the fullest sense of the
term. The centre Of attraction
was the White House, where the
parade took place. In Lafayette
square the largest stand in the
city was erected. 1t accOmmo-
dated 5000 reserved seat holders,
who had paid from So to So each
for admission.
The committee on decoration OF
Pennsylvania avenue during the
week which the merchants devot-
ed to getting their buildings
dressed for today, exercised a
general supervision, and were eIe-
CANT.
Historic buildings and lOcali-
ties throughout the city were
marked with large signs so that
the thousands of visitors touring
the city might be appraised of the
significance of the places they
were seeing.
Critics as well as admirers will
always regard Theodore Roose-
welt as the most striking figure in
American history at the begin
ming of this the Goth century.
From whatever standpoint he
may be regarded he is leader.
In many respects the man who
was inaugurated today as the
President of the United States is
the most remarkable product ever
generated from the heterogeneous
elements Of the population of this

ming of this the Goth century.
From whatever standpoint he
may be regarded he is leader.
In many respects the man who
was inaugurated today as the
President Of the United States is
the most remarkable product ever
generated from the heterogeneous
elements Of the population of this
country. Eagerly Jealous in any
cause in which he is interested he
is in frequent conflict with other
minds. 1t is his nature to seek
struggle, intellectual or physical,
and in whatever capacity he has
served the people his stand for
what he believed to be right has
always made him a storm centre.
Yet there is no more democratic
aristoerat in public life today.
As a subordinate he was fire.
quently insubordinate. As Presi-
dent he has shocked the old fog
les of the body polite. In each
instance, however, his cutting
loose from precedents has been
with an object in view which was
obscured by red tape or tradi-
ton.
Presidest Roosevelt was born in
New York City. October 81, 1858,
so that he is now hardly AZ years
old, and his whole life has been
emphasized by a desire to be al
ways busy.
Taken all in all today was the
most brilliant Of any in the his
tory of the United States. and one
that those who witnessed the ex>
ercises will look back upon with
fond recollections.

A. W. Stillwell. travelling freight
agent, of the Santa Fe railroad, was
in Beaver this week looking over the
resources of the county preparatory
to making a report to the company.
Mr.. Stillwell informed us that it was
not at all unlikely that the Santa Fe
would extend from Englewood and
that in all probability it would strike
Beaver. The fact that he was here
to look over the county is evidence
that there is something doing IN that
line and we may expect to hear more
of the move at an early date. Rail-
roads build in their own mysterious
manner and just what they expect to
do is not disclosed. The fact that
other roads are looking. over the
country with a view of extending
their lines here has aroused the old
er lines who have had their eyes on
this field for long time.-Beaver
