ROOSEVELT AND THE CON.
FEDERATES.

President Roosevelt is still paying
his most aflectionate respects to the
Confederate soldiers as he journeys
through the South. He was most
chiValrous in his greetings of Mrs.
Stonewall jackson, and touched her
heart by paying a high compliment
to her grandson, Jackson Christian,
whom he appointed to a cadetship
at West Point, In his speech at
Charlotte, he referred to the Incl
dent, and declared that we of this
united country have a right to chal-
lenge as a part of the heritage of
honor and glory in each American,
the reunion Of one people, Ameri-
cans who fought in the Civil War,
whether they wore the blue or wheth-
er they wore the gray; the valor
shown alike by the men of the
North and the South as they bat
tied for right, is now what we, all of
us, keep with pride" In Richmond
he said that next to the men who
wore the blue he honored of all men
those who wore the gray, and he
was not satisfied until he had gone
out to the Soldiers home and greeted
the veterans of that institution face
to face.
Entertaining that view, holding
in the highest honor the soldiers Of
the Confederacy, looking upon them
as men who did their duty as they
we're given to see it, as patriots and
not as rebels and traitors, we cannot
but believe that MI. Roosevelt would
like to bestow substantial favors
upon such of them as are now dis
abled.
We know not what he has in mind.
we know not if he has anything of
the sort in mind, and we should be
the last to ask the Federal govern.
ment to beStow favors upon Confed-
crate soldiers. But we may 60 50
far as to express the opinion that
any such recognition on the part of
the President OF the United States
and the Federal Government of our
disabled Confederates would do
more than all else to wipe out the
last vestige of sectional feeling in
the South and make the Southern
people feel in very truth they are
part and parcel of the nation.--Rich-
mond Times-D Dispatch.

MISSISSIPPI IS HIGH

Hannibal, Mo-, June lathe flood
in the Mississippi river has spread oven
all the unprotected lowlands and is
from five to ten miles wide between
here and Keopkuck, Iowa. Near Alex
ander, Mo-, farmer was drowned and
seven other persons are reported miss
ing. Great numbers of carcases of
live stock are floating past Hannibal,
and from Alexandria, Canton, Mem
phis, West Quincy and Keokuk reports
have been received of the general loss
of live stock. The flood came so sud-
denly that the farmers in the low lands
had no time to do more than save their
families. The river continues to rise
here at the rate of three inches an
hour. An army of men is at work in
hte lower portion of Hannibal endeav-
oring to save property. The railroad
yards and factory districts are inundat
ed. All availabel boats are making
trips up and down the river rescuing
persons who fled to points above the
water line. Many of the small levees
have broken. The property loss al
ready suffered, it is estimated, will
run into the millions.

WAR STATUS LAST WEEK,
No Military or Naval Operations in
Far East.

There were no important military or
naval operations in the far east last
week, as all influences were making
for peace. No aggressiveness was
manifested in Manchuria, although
both armies have apparently been in
condition to wage heavy battle. Field
Marshal Oyama evidently decided to
postpone his contemplated forward
movement until the question of sea
supremacy was determined and by so
doing he has undoubtedly effected an
immense saving in blood and treasure
The week closed with an expression
of willingness by both belligerents to
accept the suggestion of President
Roosevelt for the appointment of plen-
ipOtentiaries who are to consider
peace terms. This does not necessari-
ly mean that the conditions proposed
by Japan will be acceptable or that a
permanent end of hostilities is assur-
ed by the calling of the conference.
But it signifies that Russia has in a
measure recognized the hopelessness
of her cause, and with the intimation
that peace would be agreeable to her,
the first essential step toward getting
it has been taken.
The striking figure in these impor-
tant preliminaries has been that Of
President Roosevelt. 1T is now admit
ted at all the great capitals that he
was in the best position to advise the
opening of negotiations that might
bring to a close the bloody conflict
now more than a year old. He has
done it with dignity and felicitous
terms and both powers interested
have not been slow to praise the ad-
mirable manner in which he has la
bored for peace.

son OF Year.
A Great Fails, Mont, man has pro-
duced potatoes without vines, and as
serts that he is now able to supply
new potatoes for the market at any
season of the year. The inventor will
not reveal the process in detail. lie
has conducted his experiments in a
box AXIS feet, in which mere is a steam
coil for heating.
He states that he has succeeded,
after much experimenting, in perfect
ing a compound resembling soil that
when heated is a fertile field for the
development of plant life. In a layer
of this compound he plants potato
eyes, then another layer of the COM
pound with more potato eyes, and so
on until the box is hlIed. He claims
that in this compound potatoes grow
without any portion of the vine or
sprout appearing above the surface;
that all growth is in tubers and that
it is not necessary for either light or
air to reach the potatoes at any stage
of their growth, elements in the COM
pound serving the purpose of oxygen.
At first the potatoes, when exposed
10 the air, rotted quickly, but now
this has been overcome, he says, and
his experiment is an unqualified sue
cess after many years. Those who
saw the box he exhibited showing po-
tatoes in varying stages of growth
were greatly impressed with the re-
suits. A Chicago man has offered him
100000 for his inventions, he says.

Miller Brothers, at Their 1ol Ranch,
Near Bliss, Okla, Entertain $4,000
People at a Buffalo Hunt and Indian
Celebration-Stage Robbery and
Parade of Indians.

Bliss, Okla, June 12.-Fffty thou
sand people were entertained by Mil
Ter Brothers, at the 101 ranch Sun
day, the visit Of the National Editorial
association to the ranch being made
the occasion for the buffalo hunt, a
buffalo dinner and an Indian celebra-
ton. The editors, many of whom were
accompanied by ladies, arrived on the
ranch at II o'clock over the Santa Fe
in a special train.
The general public had been invited
to the entertainment. The Santa Fe
railroad, which runs through the
ranch, carried 10000 people to 101, and
as many more drove in to attend the
show. An immense grandstand extend
ing around the arena was built for the
visitors, The arena itself was half a
mile long and a third of mile wide.
To handle the crowd required nearly
200 passenger coaches.
The Ponca and Otoe Indians, whose
lands are being allotted, had planned a
celebration to take place some time
during the spring, to which they eX-
pected to invite all the other Indians
in the territory to help them celebrate
the dissolution of their tribal territory
This was arranged to take place at
the same time of the editors visit.
The ranch bought 35 head of buffalo
in Montana and planned a buffalo
chase by the Indians. Each one of the
special guests, and there were not less
than 1000, was served with a piece of
buffalo meat in connection with the
dinner. Besides the buffalo the pro-
gram included wild west show with
roping and riding contests, Indian
dances, a stage robbery and a minia-
ture reproduction of the rush into the
Cherokee strip. The program also in
cluded a parade beginning with the
Indian, attired in paint and feathers,
followed by the OK team and prairie
schooner, and ending with an automo-
bile.
