ria Advantageously.
GET FARM WORTH 100000
Por the Lease en- the Property After
Eight Years Manage
ment.

Messrs. ]. Z. Montrose and Charles
McHugh Saturday night completed ne
gotiations that have been pending for
some time for the sale of the National
hotel at Peoria TO Dick Townsend of
Desatur, lad, FOR a consideration
amounting to practically 100000. The
deal has been all bat closed for ooU-
pie OF weeks, the terms having been
mutually agreed upon, and so when
the final formalities were concluded II
was with the understanding that the
new proprietor was to have possession
this morning.
Operated for Eight Years.
The National has been operated by
Messrs Montrose and .McHugh for
eight years. and they receive for it. III
addition to the handsome profit they
have made each year. 527 acres of the
best improved farm land in the state
of Illinois. 1t is situated a few miles
from Mattoon. and is appraised at
$780, 900. 1t was inspected by the new
owners a month ago. and is all under
cultivation and equipped with modern
farm buildings. Il is known through
out central Illinois as the James VIII
son farm.
OfTer Too Tempting.
Mr.. Townsend. the new proprietor of
the National. is a hotel man OF wide
experience. He was formerly mana
ger of the Grand hotel at Indianapolis.
and was at one time in the hotel bust
ness at Fort Wayne. HIS fondness for
the business and his desire to secure
a property such as Nessrs. Montrose
and NcHugh had made out of the Ma
tional. led him to make such al advan-
tageous offer as could not be refused.
The National is owned BY wealthy Pc
oria people, and the transfer involves
the unexpired lease of the recent pro
prietorS, together with the option OF
the extension.
Plans of Mr.. MOntrOse.
Mr.. MOntrosS, who has had the man
agement of the property, will go soon
TO his summer cottage at Old Mission
and in the fall will probably locate in
Cedar Rapids, where the hotel which
bears his narse is soon to be opened,
although negotiations that he and Mr..
McHugh have on foot for another
hotel may alter his plans.

HER WEDDING GIFTS
MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT'S TO BE
OF The GREATEST.
Estimates Place the Number at 1000
Asgresatins $1,000, 900 in Value
Will Come From All Over the World
MANY Disappointed by Not Receiv-
ing Wedding Cards.

A Washington special says: Miss
Alice Roosevelt will probably receive
a greater number and more varied Sc
lection of wedding presents than any
other bride in the history of this coun-
try If not of the world. Estimates
place the number of presents at 1000,
aggregating $1,0OO,OOO IN value.
Many Of the gifts are those to be by
various cities of this country and gifts
OF foreign countries are already
known, but there is no one who will
venture a guess as to the number of
barrels of potatoes, turnips, pumpkins
and other eatables that will ultimate.
ly be contributed to the brides lar.
der. Even at this early date a clerk
is being kept busy receipting for con.
signments of vegetables and fruit
Many packages come from as far west
as California and as far south as Flor
ida. Innumerable cases of choice wine
have been received from vineyards
from the north and from California
and these merely give an inkling of
what are to come.
The articles are being piled up in a
room set aside for the purpose. The
room is already nearly filed and what
disposition is to be made of substan.
tial gifts that are expected is not
known.
Heartaches In Washington.
Washington.-The number of heart
aches and disappointments because of
the nonarrival of the coveted envelope
from the White House bearing an in.
vitation to the greatest wedding ever
known within its walls will probably
never be known. An exodus to Flor
ida will begin next week for Wash
ington hostesses who can not bear the
chagrin Of owning they are overlook
ed in such matters, have a fashion of
suddenly departing either for Bermuda
or Florida. They have been even
known to go all the way to Europe on
account of some ones illness just in
order to avoid being found out.
The original number of invitations
to be struck off for the wedding of
Miss Roosevelt and Congressman
Longworth was 1900. The number has
grown in small additions to 400, this
number including, of course, invita-
lions which have gone around the
world. Only about 1000 of these invi.
tations were sent to persons in Wash.
ington.
A movement has been started in
Boston by national officers of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union to
obtain Miss Alice Roosevelt's cooper.
alton towards barring wine from her
wedding breakfast.

passenger train was waiting at Cross
ing when the freight came laundering

COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE.
Conference at an End and No Agree
ment Reached.


Indianapolis.-One Of the most dra.
matte scenes ever witnessed in ma
tioual convention of the United Mine
workers of America was the final adj
journment of that body last week al.
ter the dissolution of the joint con
ference of operators and miners of the
central and southwestern districts and
"A Ter the na,ional convention had ad
ministered a singing rebuke to Pat
rick Dolan of Pennsylvania for trans
crossing one of the fundamental laws
of unionism, in voting contrary to his
instructions to stand for an increase
of wages.
Secretary-Treasurer w. B. Wilson is
especially determined that the funds
shall be at least $2,500,00O and the
other national officers and majority
of the board members are of the opin
ion that this sum will not be found
too large.
According to figures at the head
quarters of the workers, a general
strike April would bring out of the
mines 100000 men If the nonunion
miners of West Virginia, numbering
100000. could be induced to strike with
the union men of the other districts
