Cincinnati, Dec. 11.-Ballamy Stor
er, former ambassador AZ Vienna, to-
day, gave to the Associated Press the
following statement In reply to the
letter Of President Roosevelt, made
public yesterday.
my letter to the president and
his cabinet was written for the cool,
deliberate Judgment OF men who
should be kept informed OF the true
facts in the conduct OF the admins
tTation. II was not written for the
public not hurriedly given to the
press to anticipate public opinion.
II stands, when taken In full, as my
statement, and should be taken as
an entirety, and as such ask It's calm
perusal. In itself, IL Is an answer 10
many things the president has seen
at to say, but as new matter has been
put forwared by MIR. Roosevelt, /
feel compelled TO speak.
There was no need OF violent and
insulting adiectives to show that the
president dislikes me and did not
wish me to remain in the service or
TO retire from 1t in any customary
way.
while the past has shown that
few men can differ with either the
wishes or the memory OF Mr.. Roose
welt without at once becoming a
scoundral and liar, ! must make
some comment on what he has given
out &C the White House.
THAT anything was ever written
to the president By my wife 70 the
effect that Mr.. Choate and General
Porter we're not proper persons TO be
ambassadors, is news TO both Of us.
For both those distinguished men we
have had nothing but respect and
good will, personally and officially,
II would have been an honor to any
one to take any post ever allied by
either of them after they ceased to oc
cupy 1t. And the only feeling posi-

Sudden Disappe arance.

The country about five miles north
of Nashua was thrown into great ex-
clement by the disappearance of Grace
Vanderhayden, girl about fourteen
years of age, who makes her home with
her grandmother and uncle Grace
seemed dissatisfied with her sur
roundings. so when she was sent out to
wash up the milk dishes Monday
evening she threw her shoes out of the
window and after doing her work
stole quietly away The family soon
missed her and begun the search and
the neighbors Joined them in searching
the vicinity. They searched all night
TO no avail, and all day Tuesday.
At about ten O'Clock Tuesday night
Mr.. Carey found her at the home of
a farmer north of Chickasaw about
four miles from her home, and here
she had spent the night before. She
was restored to her anxious relatives
and little realizes what anguish her
childish folly brought to those who
have her in charge. Nashua Post.

Farmers Meeting at Armstrong.

A farmers elevator meeting was held
in the opera house last Thursday.
The meeting was not very well adver-
tised. and it was also good day to
pillow corn and the attendance was not
as large as expected. However, there
was quite a sprinkling of farmers,
and those who came were interested
and enthusiastic.
W. M. Stickney and E. G.. Dunn,
of Chicago, delivered interesting and
instructive talks along cooperative
lines. A number of names were added
to the cooperative compny organized
last spring and those at the head of it
seem satisfied that the company will
be doing business in Armstrong by the
time this years crop is marketed.
One of the speakers paid compli-
ment to w. E. Flemming by saying
that Mr.. Flemming was the only
grain buyer in the state of Iowa who
haad not been bulldozed by the grain
dealers trust and had paid what the
market warranted. Such tribute
would swell the head of some people,
but Bill wears the same old hat. -
Armstrong Journal.
The W. Z. Flemming above referred
to is we'll known in DEBORAH having
formerly resided here. 1t requires a
great deal of nerve to fight the grain
dealers trust successfully, and it
seems that he has ''won out. -

Remarkable Record.

From the West Union Argo we cl ip
the following; which is considered a
remarkable record: Volga City, our
village neighbor on the southeast. car
ries the banner in the matter of school
attendance and gives to the world a
marvellous record along this line that
probably never has been duplicated
in Iowa. The one who bears the
honors is Edna NJ Adams, and the
records of the school show that from
the day of her entrance to the primary
room. to the day of iher graduation
twelve long years-she never was once
absent or tardy. Where could this
faithful girl have been when children s
diseases were handed out, down on
the Volga-measles, whooping cough,
scarlet fever, canker-rash, itch, and
all the rest, that suggest sulphur and
molasses internally, and red precipi-
tate and any old grease externally.

stove, to "heat it in" Miss Adams
evidently fought shy of all these, and
hence perches on the high pinnacle
that characterizes remarkable achieve
ments. She wins two years scholar

in September. If she pulls as true
there and otherwheres as under the
dome where her ABC's were absorbed,

the twentieth century, for it goes
without saying, there would be ample

Riot at Waverly Ra ces.

Trouble arose at the Waverly races
Thursday owing to crusade against
the Bookmakers at the race track.
A special from Waverly dated July
H. says
A mob attacked DIR. G.. K. Harker an d
Charles Nelson at the Waverly races
today and after bruising and battering
them, drove them ignominiously from
the grounds. On Tuesday three tran
silent pool sellers were arrested by a
local law enforcement league, and this
so intiamed the passi on of the local
betting fraternity that they were out
looking for trouble. DR.. Harker, who
is west side jewler, rode his wheel
down to the track Mr.. Nelson, W no
is farmer, rode his pony. 1t hap
pened that these men are members of
local churches and suspicion was at
once directed to them.
At preconcerted moment a general
attack was made on these two men,
Nelson's pony was viciously pounded
and hammered with clubs. Elarker
was struck and kicked and jammed,
and his bicycle was used as a club to
pound him .over the head. He i'm
mediately filed charges against Charles
Lowder and Harry N Dean, both of

Hog Kills Young Child,

While in the hog pen trying to catch
one of the little pigs, which she
wanted for pet, the little 4-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar Smith,
living four miles east of Macksburg,
was attacked by an old hog and re-
ceived injuries so severe that she died.
The child's mother was rocking the
baby to sleep when the little one
slipped out unnoticed and climbed in
to the pen to get one of the little pigs.
Their squeals brought the enraged
mother pig to the scene and she
knocked the child down and trampled
her under foot. The child was finally
rescued by her mother, but died soon
afterward. Cedar Rapids Gazette.
