DENIAL FOR THE PRESIDENT
REPORT OF DlscoURTEsY At
FAIR DIscREDITED.
Dispatch from Governor of Georgia
Made Public-John Temple
Graves First Caller.

Oyster Bay, L. l., June 17.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt Saturday received
from Gov. Terrell of Georgia a tele-
graphic disclaimer of any criticism Of
the president to the celebration Of
Georgia day at the jamestown ex-
position. The dispatch is as follows:
ITO President Roosevelt, Oyster
Bay, N. Y: The publication to the ef-
feet that Mr.. Mitchell or myself feels
aggrieved toward you or that you are
responsible for the shortening Of the
Georgia day exercises at. the James
town exposition is absolutely unwar-
ranted. In explaining the hurried
n in which the programme was
carried out, I stated to a number of
prominent Georgians and several
newspaper reporters that the review
consumed more time than was esti-
mated. Hence it was necessary to
cut out or cut off some of the after
noon engagements.
Personally and as governor I wish
to thank you for lending your pres
ence to Georgia day and assure you
that every true Georgian feels likewise.
The sentiment of the official badges
for that day expresses the sentiment
of every such Georgian, whether at
Jamestown or at home, Our coun-
try's president and Georgia's grand
son. 1 consider Georgia day at the
Jamestown exposition a great success
md fhof VOL, rno1o II ca -t
u. M. TERRELL"
John Temple Graves, Georgia edi-
tor and orator, has the distinction of
being the first visitor to Sycamore
Hill since the president took up his
summer residence there. MI. Graves,
by appointment, reached Oyster Bay
Saturday and went at once to Saga
more Hill, where he was in confer
ence with the president for nearly
two hours. While the visit was desig-
mated as a purely personal one, it is
understood that many things political
in Georgia were touched upon.
II am a Democrat" said Mr.. Graves
at the station, "but I am also an
ardent admirer Of President Roose-
welt and as 1 was in this neck of the
woods attending the Orange centen-
NAL the president has done me the
honor to invite me to call on him."
when Mr.. Graves returned from
Sycamore Hill he said he had thanked
the president for his part in making
Georgia day a success at jamestown
and especially for his speech on that
occasion which set forth the indus
tries and advantages of the south.

Cars Plunge Into Niagara Rapids.

Niagara Falls, N. y, June 17.-Three
freight cars broke from a Grand Trunk
train Of II cars in the middle of the
lower steel arch bridge and plunged
into the Niagara rapids, $50 feet be-
low. In leaving the track they dam
aged both the upper and lower decks
of the bridge. When the cars struck
the water they were not badly dam
aged, but the current of the rapids a
ried them to the whirlpool, where
they were broken into pieces. A brake
man had a narrow escape from going
into the rapids with the bridge.

RAISE LAUNCH; FIND ONE BODY.
Secretary MetcaIf Gets Message from
Admiral at Norfolk.

Washington, June 17.-Secretary
Metcalf received a long-distance tele-
phone message from Admiral Berry,
commander of the Norfolk navy yard,
saying that the Minnesota's launch
was raised to the surface Saturday
and the body of one fireman found.
The search for other bodies was con-
tinued.
Norfolk, Va, June ia report
from Old Point Comfort says:
"Only the body of George w. West
phal, first class fireman, who was
found at his post of duty, was in the
Minnesota launch when she was
raised to the surface. There was
no trace of the six midshipmen or
of the other four seamen who were
said to have been on board the launch.
Furthermore, no caps or other articles
of wearing apparel belonging to the
midshipmen were to be found, and
there was nothing in the launch to
indicate that the midshipmen were
aboard when the boat went down.
"The launch looks to be badly
wrecked, her hull and part of the
framework which holds the canopy be.
ing stove in. The canvas canopy is
torn so badly that it is impossible to
tell whether the flaps were fastened
down at the time of the collision.
There is no longer any doubt that
the launch al run into and sunk by
some other vessel, the condition OF
the boat completely silencing all
those who said that the launch foun,
dered during the storm"

MEANT TO SUCCEED
RISE OF TWO MEN FROM SMALL
BEGINNINGS.
Natural HustIers and Workers Were
Marshall o. Roberts and Leland
+ Stanford-Smart Trick Work
ed by the Former.

1t was Marshal o. Roberts who
originated the idea of giving his store
an air of prosperity by filling his coun-
tiers with the appearance of goods,
says a writer in Spare Moments, when
he could not afford thes actual stock.
In 1885 young Roberts, had managed
to scrape together a few hundred dol
lars, the result of many years close
saving, though he was only 81 at the
time. He had decided to try his hand
at the hardware and shipping supply
business.
The first thing was to find a suitable
building in a suitable location. But
the two requirements could not be
found together, so he was finally COM
PEELED to take a large building, in
which his small stock seemed COM
pletely lost.
After arranging his shelves in every
possible way to make them appear to
good advantage, he gave up in disgust.
They look like so many SAMPLES"
he complained, and, it is said, immedi-
ately went out and ordered a load of
bricks sent to the store.
These he took one by one and neatly
wrapped, tying a sample of a nail or a
screw or a rivet to the end thatcwould
be visible. The bricks were about the
size of many Of his boxes, and when
the shelves were filled with them his
store appeared to be exceedingly well
stocked. Naturally customers were
drawn to the firm that kept the
largest stock.
According to the same authority
Leland Stanford's first earnings we're
the result of digging horseradish,
washing it, and carrying it to the near
est town. He received, as his share
of the enterprise, Is cents. He was
then six years old. In his eighth year
he worked hard gathering chestnuts,
which he sold for $25.
During the successive years he toll
ed on the farm in the summer and at
tended school in the winter, all the
time dreaming of a college education
end later Of becoming a lawyer. When
he was IL there was no~money in sight
for the carrying out of his cherished
plans and the outlook, to say the least,
was not encouraging. Consequently
he hailed with delight his fathers Of
fer to allow him the profits from clear
ing a tract of woodland recently pur-
chased. He was to have all he could
make selling cordwood.
He went at it with zest, hiring other
w%oodchoppers to help him, and before
a year of the hardest kind Of toll had
ended he had chopped and shipped
more than 1000 cords of wood and
had in the bank $4,000. He did. not
lose sight of his purpose, but used the
money to finish his common school
education and then at a law school.

adapted for reservoirs. and the crea-
tion Of adequate forest reserves.
Wisconsin should secure nearly ideal
conditions of stream flow, which will
mean that the water powers will be
even, hence of great value, and the
state will forge to the front as one OF
the most important manufacturing
centers of this country.
1.-THE beauty and healthfulness OF
the magnificent lake region in Oneida
and Villas counties is very real asset
to the whole state, as thousands Of
people go there yearly for hunting,
fishing and outdoor life, and in time
it should become, if protected, one of
the popular Fairgrounds for all of the
people of the Mississippi valley. The
state board of forestry fully appreciate
this fact, but there is no reason why
the reservoirs cannot be SO managed
as to do little if any damage to the
beauty of the region, as well as add
enormously to the manufacturing
possibilities of the Wisconsin river -.

DROWNED AT BIRON
Emil Lietzke Looses His Life
At The BirOn Dam,

Emil Lietzke, who resides either at
Sigel or Vesper, and who has been in
the employ of the Grand Rapids
Foundry Co. for some time past, was
drowned at Biron Sunday.
1t seems that Mr.. Lietzke in COM
pany with three or four friends we're
spending the day fishing below the
Biron dam, and that in some manner
he dropped his pole into the river,
and in order to recover it he went
out with boat.
While looking for the pole it is pre-
sumed he failed to notice how near
the dam the boat was drifting, when
suddenly the bow of the boat run
into the falls and was capsized by the
weight of the water. Mr.. Lietzke
saw the danger and in his attempt to
save his life he jumped, but the
undercurrent at this place was SO
strong that he was drawn beneath
the water and the last that was seen
of him by his companions, he was in
the water with his head down, and
his feet up.
At the present writing his body has
not been found, but every thing
possible is being done to recover the
same.
