PLAIN FOOD IN WHITE HOUSE.
President Contradicts Story of Elab-
crate Menus.

Washington, D. c., June &c Pres
ident Roosevelt wants everybody in
the United States to understand
that the food eaten in the White
House is plain, but wholesome" "
and nothing more.
Mr.. Roosevelt read in a Washington
paper story about the elaborate
menus declared to be in order three
times a day in the White House.
Straightway he sent for a reporter
and made a strong denial that he and
his family had anything to eat so
much better than the average Ameri-
can family
why, for lunch declared Mr..
Roosevelt, Il sometimes have only a
bowl of milk and a hunk of bread,
and the children get cold roast beef"
The article contained sample
menus for a day in the White House.
For breakfast there were oranges
and cantaloupes. cereals, eggs, bacon
or lamb chops, hot cakes or waffles,
and coffee.
President Roosevelt said the elab-
crate breakfast menu described was
too good to be true. 1t was more often
reduced to boiled eggs and bacon.

GRAIN TRUST TO BE PROBED.
Senate Adopts Inquiry Similar to
Coal Investigation.

Washington D. c., June 27.-The
connection of railroads with the buy
Ing and forwarding of grain is to be
investigated by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The inquiry will
be similar to that now being prose-
cuted regarding the close connec-
tions existing between the railroads
and the mine operators. The eleva-
tor trust, the combination of grain
elevators for securing a monopoly of
grain buying, for fixing the prices,
and at the same time for co-operat-
ing with the railroads to control both
prices and rates also will be inves-
tigated.

reformer, won his first notable vic
tory in the Senate by securing the
adoption of a resolution offered by

propositions had been promptly re-

It has been shown. he said. that
graft and corruption extend in every
direction in the relations existing be
tween the railroads and the coal op-
orators. 1t will be demonstrated. he
said, that a similar situation pre-
walls in the handling of grain.
The great grain producing dis
tricts, said Mr.. La Toilette, have
been parcelled out to elevator COM
panies in alliance with the railroads.
the arrangement producing a monop-
oily for buying all the grain in a given
district. The elevators are identified
with the railroads, by giving every
indication of joint ownership to the
great detriment of the farmers who
should have the benefit of an open
market and the best prices for their
products, There is absolutely no
competition left the farmer for the
purchase of his grain.

IN the shape of an iron box that re-
fuses to be excavated. The Rev, G.
L. Scott, of No 1884 West Ken
lucky Street, had occasion to do
some work in his front garden.
When about half 4 foot under the
surface of the earth his shovel struck
an iron box nearly two feet across
the top.
His curiosity aroused the Rev. Mr..
Scott undertook to dig the box from
its resting place. Each time, how
ever. that he cleared away the dirt
from the sides and seemed about TO
reach his find the mysterious box
would sink a few inches lower.
The hole was enlarged on all sides,
but the same result followed. lie
has now reached depth of twenty
feet and is apparently no nearer the
box than when he started, The in
cident has created tremendous ex-
citement in the neighborhood and a
party will assemble prepared to gain
possession of the chest The box is
thought to contain treasure.
