BELLAMY STORER
MAKES A REPLY
SIMPLY INSISTS UPON THE POSI-
TON HERETOFORE TAKEN
BY HIM
President Had Already Communicated
With Secretary Root on the Matter,
Before Letters Were Made Public
"Misstatement of the Facts"


Cincinnati, Dec. lO.--Bellamy storer
today replied briefly to President
RooseVelts letter to Secretary Root,
which was given to the press last
night insisting on the position he had
heretofore taken and reiterating the
statements made by him In his state
ment to the members Of the foreign
relations committees of congress made
public last week.
Presidents Letter.
President Roosevelt last night made
public a long letter addressed to Sc
cretary Root giving correspondence be-.
tween the President and former Am
bassadore Belamy Storer at Vienna
and Mrs. Storer, in which he says that
Mr.. Storer's refusal to answer his let
ters and the publication of various pri-
vate letters justified tie ambassadors
removal, that Mr.. Storer's publication
OF private correspondence was pecul-
1arly ungentlemanly and that he (the
Presldent) had stated with absolute
clearness his position as to why It
was out of the question for him as
President to try to get Archbishop
Ireland made cardinal, though express
ing his admiration for Archbishop Ire.
land as we'll as other leaders of other
denominations He says he thinks it
we'll that the members of the cabinet
should know certain facts, (which he
either supresses or misstates." He
says he did not resent the action of
the Storers until it became evident
they were likely to damage American
interests" He says Mrs Storer urged
him to give her husband cabinet
I'place and that she stated Mr.. Choate
at London, and General Porter at
Paris were not proper persons to be
ambassadors, suggesting her husband
for one of those places.
Cortelyou's Contradiction.
The President incorporates letter
from Postmaster General Cortelyou
contradicting the statement that Presi.
dent Mckinley had commissioned a
gentleman to ask the pope "as a per-
sonal favor to him and as an honor to
the country" to appoint Archbishop
Ireland as cardinal. Mr.. Cortelyou
says the late president never made
any such request.
The President declares that Mr.,
Storers statement tnat he authorized d
similar messages to be delivered to
Pope Pics is untrue. He says that he
never received a letter from Ambassa-
dor Storer giving an account of his
visit to the vatican, and Of the mes
sage he personally gave the pope on
behalf of Mr.. Roosevelt.

MISS ETHEL HOPKINS OF RATH-
BUN INSTANTLY KILLED AND
OTHERS INJURED
YOUNG MAN is A HERO
Saves Life of Two Young Women and
Has Probably Given His Own
Party From Rathbun Enroute Home
After Attending Darbyville Meeting.

Darbyvllle, Dec 10.-(SpeciaD.- Be
ing run down on trestle near here
by Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
train Saturday night, Miss Ethel Hop
6ins of Rathbun was instantly killed,
Miss Mabel Horn had her arm broken
in two places, and Fred Workman had
one arm and one leg broken, also re-
ceiving internal injuries from which
he may not recover. Mrs. Hopkins
was present and underwent the misery
of seeing her daughters fate.
A party of twenty-five or thirty from
Rathbun was returning home from
here after attending a revival meet
ing. While they were crossing the
Charlton river bridge coal train
came down upon them. Some of them
jumped, others crawled down onto pro-
jecting timbers and thus saved their
lives, while Miss Hopkins stood para
lyzed with fright until too late, the en-
gine striking the back of her head,
dashing out her brains, crushing one
shoulder to pulp and throwing her to
the ground below.
Workman is Hero.
Fred Workman, a young man 20
years of age, proved himself a hero on
this occasion. He was accompanying
Miss Mary McClary of Mystic and Miss
Mabel Horn. When he saw.the danger
he picked up Miss McClary anG carried
her to the edge of the bridge. Return
| ing, he seized Miss -Fsrn by the arms,
swung her clear of the bridge, and was
in the act of dropping her to the
Eground when the train struck him
with probably fatal results. Miss Horn
was evidently injured in falling, as she
was clear Of the track when Mr. Work
man was struck by the train. She
went home Immediately after the ac-
cident without assistance and without
| knowing her arm was broken. That
was discovered later Had it not been
for the presence of mind of Mr.. Work
man Miss McClary and Miss Horn
would have met the same fate that
Miss Hopkins did.
Miss Ethel Hopkins was the daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Allan Hopkins of
Rathbun. She was 19 years of age and
a favorite among the young people Of
Rathbun and in Darbyville, where she
/ grew to womanhood.
Funeral services will be held here at
the Adventist church this afternoon,
after which the remains will be in.
tered in the Sand Hill cemetery.
-
At the railroad Offices in Ottumwa
! it is learned that they have not re
ceived definite information as to the
manner in which the members of the
party were injured. They were found
lying below the bridge, which is about
Is feet high. The officials say that
there is straight stretch of track at
1 this point for three-fourths of mile
and that there is a "No Trespass" sign
at each end of the bridge. c. A. Mel
lerke was the engineer on train No

marty on the bridge

An Enemy Of The Fore SITS.

Some of the Maine newspapers are
unnecessarily alarmed because the
brown tail moth has reached Maine.
Forest Commissioner Ring, who has
been making study of the moth situa-
ton in Massachusetts,, does not con-
slider the brown tail particularly dam
gerous. But he says that if the gypsy
moth gets into our Maine forests he
does not know what can be done to pre-
vent their doing immense damage.
There would be danger that these pests
would ruin our forests entirely. The
gypsies are no respecters of anything
that grows. They will take every hard
and soft wood tree and everything that
the farmer and gardener raises. The
brown tail builds his nests at the ends
of the branches so he can be seen and
taken care of. The gypsy is not so par:
ticular. He will build in the crotch OF
a tree, in stone wall, on the ground, in
the corner of a box car or IN the under
gearing of an automobile.
There is, of course, danger that some
of the gypsies will be brought to Maine
by train or automobile ..Readers of The
journal are requested to report i'm
mediately to Z. f. Ring, Forest Com
missioner, Augusta Maine, if they
think they see any indication that the
gypsy moth is in this State.

NEGLECTED. Rheumatism
Causes Paralysis
A Uric.0 Treatment will in All Cases Re-
move the Cause.

Paralysis is a disease whose cause is shrouded
in mystery. If you were to investigate carefully
all cases of Paralysis you would find that at some
time previous to the attack. the patient suffered
from some form of rheumatism. Possibly like so
many others, he thought it was only slight mat
ter of temporary Inconvenience and paid no
further attention to it. rheumatism is not to be
neglected with impunity. The Uric and poison
GUS Rheumatic Acid must he neutralized and
driven from the system as soon they put in an
appearance. Do this with Urc-O.
1t is a harmless vegetable preparation and does
not contain a single drop of alcohol. 1t operates
by its action upon the blood, muscles and kidneys
and cures Rheumatism to stay cured. We might
give yOu testimonials from thousands of people
IN all parts of the country, but we would rather
havelyou talk with some one whom you know and
can believe. Next time you are down town. just
drop into the store of r. H. Moody, Relfast's
popular druggist, and ask him about Uric-O, I'VE
wont predict what he will say. but We have CEN
hdence enough in the remedy to leave it to him.
Uric-O is not cathartic, nor does it affect or
distress the stomach IN any way. urc-O is a
cure tor Rheumatism and for Rheumatism only.
That is why it is such a great success. 1t does
one thing and does that one thing perfectly. Most
druggists sell Uric-O at 75c ind S100 the bottle,
but you can have sample bottle free If you cut
