Why ROOSEVELT
!. IS POPULAR
His Frank and Unaffected Man.
"er's Tie so's Secret
Of Ms Success

,8l WASHINGTON. JAM %. - Many
folks have wondered just what 10 the
secret OF the personal following which
President Roosevelt has built up about
him. Many have tried without success
to describe It and exhausted their rea-
sons OF his ability to win men over to
him. who. before personal contact, were
hostile. &es M,@ atg
Perhaps It II true that the very
frankness OF the man, the very
STRAIGHTFORWARD way of meeting those
who come to the executive ofYices and
the lack OF affectation on his part. his
way OF setting every one at ease ana
coming directlyfto the matter in hand.
has done much to bring men to his
side. s
Just the other day. about o'clock In
the afternoon. when Newspaper men
know 1t IL easiest for them to see the
chief executive. half dozen OF them
his secretary. and were talking to Gen.
James H. Wilson. recently appointed
as chairman of the inaugural commit
tee. Each man In the group supposed
that the president was busy with ofsss
cial business and that In the course
Of half an hour he would have them
ushered in, one by one.
Suddenly one Of the long, low win
dows In the bay back of Mr.. Doeb's
desk was pushed up until It met the
sash OF the window above II. A man
thrust his head and shoulders through.
He was dressed In a gray flannel shirt
and. from under Its soft. rolling collar
carelessly knotted blue tie hung to be
stuck impatiently In the opening OF his
shirt. On the back of his head was a
soft brown hat that looked as though
1t might have been the property Of the
White house gardener. His elbows
rested on the sill and under them was
tennis racket. A broad smile swept
his face as he looked about the Office
and motioned Mr.. Loeb toward him.
1t was the president OF the United
States.
The men In the group smiled In rec
ognition. and he waved his arm at
tHcIn dliu gave HtocN ioWh dS uc
said. cheerily:
Look here. are all yop boys waiting
to see me?"
Then, after a moment Of thought:
WELL you will have to run away now
and come back about s o'clock. There
is time for craftsmanship and busi-
ness and time for play This Ia my
time to play. / have set aside this
hour for enjoyment with my progeny"
ne declared, as he glanced back over
his shoulder at his Oldest son. who
stood waiting on the tennis court for
the interrupted game to go on. III you
want to see me. come back at g."
He was about to close down the win
dow when he noticed the presence of
Gen. Wilson for the first time. and.
turning back he said in heartiest tone,
why, general! You are waiting. too?
Now. won't you do me the favor of
coming back in about an hour. or is
your business SO urgent that / should
give up my play and come in?'
An assurance from the general that
he could well walt and the president
OF the United States bounced the win
dow down, turned toward his son, and
a moment later was keeping the
younger man busy in fast game.

Strange Sort Of Crime.

from Wednesdays Spokesman Review
The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Howard at Oakesdale. was. dynamited at
2 o'clock Tuesday morning. the furniture
and piano being demolished, the roof
caved in and the windows in houses near
by shattered by the force of the explo-
sion. The escape of the Towards was
almost miraculous. as they were asleep in
an apartment on the second floor and the
roof over their heads lodged on the
high oak bedstead, which fortunately
was strong enough to Withstand the
weight.
There seems to be little doubt that
the explosion was the act of deadly
enemy. The town police officials say
they have good clew to the per-
petrator and are following It diligently.
They claim to know OF threats made
against the life of Mrs. Howard. In
the dwellings near that Of the How.
ards. nearly all the windows were
shattered. and in one case door was
blown off its hinges. Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard were alone in the house and
asleep. The jar awakened almost every
one in town.
The building was five room story
and half cottage. owned by B. J
Bailor, Mrs. Towards father. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bailor are now in Wallace, Idaho.
Appearances indicate that a heavy
charge Of giant powder or some similar
explosive was placed under the north
part of the house next the kitchen and
very nearly under the bedroom of the
sleepers. The fact Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard having their apartment up
stairs undoubtedly preserved their lives
and neither we're seriously injured.
though Mrs. Howard was painfully
bruised about the head. They are
young people who were married dur
ind the summer. The wood house was
a complete wreck and number Of trees
in the yard were stripped of leaves and
bark.
Mrs. Howard was formerly Miss
Georgia Bailor. who clerked for J. d.
Whites in the Fair Store here three
years ago. and was very popular in
social circles.

Welcomed the Senators.

Senators Levi Ankeny and Samuel H.
Piles were rendered a reception at
Tinnel's hall Tuesday evening. on their
arrival on the evening east bound passen-
ger train. Quite a crowd greeted the
distinguished visitors. They were met
at the train by the committee and inn
mediately taken to the hall where the
crowd awaited them. Representative
]. d. Bassett officiated as master of
ceremonies, which he accomplished in
his usual happy manner. Hon. o. R
Holcomb and Hon. w. w. Gent made
preliminary speeches of welcome. The
chairman then introduced the senior
senator. Hon. Levi Ankeny. who ex-
planned the nature of their trip and why
they were making tour Of the state.
He stated that they we're seeking to get
acquainted with some of their constitu.
ents in every locality. That the ,mmi-
grafton question was one of the most per-
picking ones before the lawmakers.
That in behalf and assistance of the
solution OF this question they desired the
south half of the Colville reservation
thrown open to homestesders, that sew
eral irrigation propositions in this state
would get their assistance, and that the
open river proposition on the Columbia
would get some attention.
All of these questions would stimulate
and encourage the growth of the state
and would help to place some of the
many immigrants who were coming to
our shores. The transportation question
would also be of vital importance to the
people of Eastern Washington. The
senator closed with few trite remarks
concerning his happiness at meeting
with the good citizens of Ritzville.
The junior Senator. Hon. Samuel Fl.
Piles, was next introduced and made a
very entertaining and eloquen, address
about the importance of the state of
Washington, the interest he felt in his
100000 constituents and the intense
eagerness with which he desired to get
to work on the floor of the national leg
islature in support Of some of the import
ant measures for the states benefit.
Hon. w. T. Warren, Judge of our said
superior court. being present was called
upon and RECALLED the audience with
few witty remarks which closed the ex-
ercises for the evening.
The senators left Wednesday morning
for Spokane.

Spokane interstate Fair.

Ritzville is again furnishing a full
quota of visitors at the Spokane Fair.
Last year this city held the record for
admissions for any point outside of Spo-
kane. During Monday and Tuesday 1870
tickets were sold from here to Spokane.
The fair is reported to be quite sue.
cess this year. 3476 paid admissions
being reported on the opening day.
which is more people. than has been
present on an opening day for six years.
One reason for this is that the fair was
complete and ready on the opening day.
The Spokane Fair has always been
popular with the people of Adams
county. furnishing sort of harvest holt
day and sightseeing trip which comes
just after the strenuous season in the hot
and dusty fields. 1t is the diversion that
the people need and they usually take
advantage o! the opportunity.
This year it is the night show which
is the special attraction. though all de.
partments are stronger. The night
show drew more people the first even
ing than went to the grounds during
the morning and afternoon. This was
a surprise to Manager Cosgrove and
the others. who thought the night at
tendance would be good. but hardly ex.
pected the people would back up the
new feature by turning out better at
night than they did in the day time.
1t looks as though fireworks, high
class vaudeville program. jolly mid
way and the glimmer of electric lights,
are more attractive than races and day
programs and sports.
Every department of the Spokane
Interstate fair this year is better than
ever before. Stock is superior to what
it was last year when there was a good
stock department. the fruit display is far
better than it was last year. Superin.
tendent Alexander of the m ming depart
ment has greatly strengthened that end of
the exposition. the art department is
filled with high class exhibits which
have taken the place of much inferior
grade which was shown last year, and
the racing is much better than it ever
has been. The dog department did not
start till Wednesday. but at the last re-
port this was expected to be better than
ever. There is machinery department
this year for the first time, and it is a
machinery department that is something.
