President-elect Sherman drove to the
capitol together and went directly to
the room of the vice-president. In
turn they were escorted to the senate
chamber as the two chief figures of
the occasion had been escorted before
them. Mr.. Fairbanks went at once to
his place as presiding officer of the
senate and Mr.. Sherman took a seat
at the left of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Taft, just across the center aisle of
the chamber.
Edward Everett Hale, the veteran
chaplain of the senate and one of the
most picturesque figures in the Uni.

and kissed the Bible held in the hand
OF his country's chief jurist Imme-
diately following the taking of the
oath, President Taft delivered his in
augural address.
The presidents speech frequently
was INTERRUPTED by applause and at
its close the greatassembly broke into
cheers. The president was congratu-
lated by those who were close to him,
including the retiring president and
the other chief officials. President
Taft then entered a carriage which
was at once surrounded by the men,
bers of the Black Horse troop of
Cleveland, o., which formed the spe-
cial guard of honor. The presidents
carriage was driven north and then
down the hill by the senate wing Of
the capitol until Pennsylvania avenue
was reached. From that point the
president drove slowly to the White
House along the thoroughfare filed,
save for its center, with crowds of his
cheering fellow citizens.

WESTERN CANADA'S SPLENDID
CROP YIELD FOR 1908.
AMERICANS PRoFlTED LARGELY
AND SEND BACK SATIsFAc-
TORY REPORTS.

The census branch of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture. Ottawa, Canada,
has completed its returns of the show
ing of Western Canada's grain yield
for 1905, and the reports make very
interesting reading. In the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, which comprise what may be
known as Central Canada, there was
total wheat yield of about 107 900, 00Q
bushels, worth to the farmer about
$S5,000,000; in addition to this the oat
barley and fax crops were worth an
other $35,o00D00. Letters have been
received from many of the settlers
from the United States. From these
that OF Rev. Oscar l.. King has been
selected He lives in the vicinity OF
Edmonton Alberta, and what he says
will be of interest to those who cor
template moving to Central Canada
Every line of the letter is interesting
Those who wish for the particulars as
to how to secure homesteads and pre-
emptions should write any Canadian
Government agent. Mr.. King says:
"Mr. NJ. V. McInnnes, Detroit, Mich

opportunities for anyone to make a
good home for himself and family

grains, stock raising and dairying. We
have found the climate generally
healthful, more healthful than Mich
igan, and although the thermometer
sometimes drops to 40 degrees below
zero In winter, yet we do not seem to
feel that temperature any more than
we did or 10 degrees below zero in
Michigan. We like the winters.
"The Government takes great inter.
est in the education Of the people and

ing schools where they are called for
The schools, though graded differently
than those in the States, are efficient
and advancing. Our great drawback
has been the limited and inadequate
railway facilities, but new roads are
being rapidly built and many more
are projected through various parts
of the province. The new policy Of
the Alberta government to construct
great many branch lines throughout
the province will greatly help all parts
of the country. II those new settlers
who have to 60 back a considerable

WAS FULL OF DOPE
JOHN JuNkEN, CONFESSED MUIR
DERER IN JAIL.
REFUSES TO TALK OF CRIME
celImate Writes Sheriff Negro An
nounced Intention of Robbing
Woman When Released.

Des Moines,-The crime committed
by John Junken, the confessed slayer
of Clara Rosen at Ottumwa, was pre-
mediated and the result of months Of
planning. Long before the negro was
released from the penitentlary, where
he was serving time for robbing and
beating up woman, he made the de-
release he would do the trick
again" And just few days before
his discharge from prison he again
stated that 1t was his purpose and In.
tention to rob and assault some wo-
man.
Evidence to this effect IS in the
hands of Sheriff Griffin, who brought
the negro Junken to the Polk county
Jail for safe keeping. The informa-
ton In a letter from Albert Evans,
Missouri negro who was cellmate
with Junllen at FortMadlson.
"Junken is guilty of that crime,
writes the negro Evans. while we
were still in the pen together no
frequently told me that when re.
leased he would do the trick again,
meaning that he would hold up and
assault another woman, for which
crime he was then serving time. He
planned 1t while still In the pen and
when he left I know that 1t was his
intention to pull off the stunt rs soon
as he had an opportunity"
Only Out A Few Days.
Evans statement Is given more
weight on account of the fact that
Junken killed Miss Rosen just a few
days after he had been liberated from
Fort Madison prison. He was re-
leased on Jan. 10 and on Feb. the
crime was committed.
The story theory upon which the
officials In Ottumwa are working, &C
cording to Sheriff Griffin, Is that
Junken was broke and went up on
the HILL" as the vicinity of the crime
Is referred to in Ottumwa, with the
sole purpose Of picking an easy
victim. He met Miss Rosen, they be
lieve, attacked her and when she re-
sisted or started to make an cutlery
beat her over the head with the stone
which he had picked up. He secured
$3.50 In cash from her In addition
to the jewelry.
Junken at present plans to stand
trial and has made request that
Attorney s. Joe Brown, one OF the
best known negro lawyers In the
state, be sent to him for consultation.
In an interview at the county jail he
intimated what his defense would be
when placed on trial for his crime.
II was full Of dope, / tell you,
chuck full Of It," he moaned as he
tossed about on his narrow bunk in
the st. Louis cage. "That Is all |
have got to say about II, was just
full Of dope"
To Sheriff Ben Ness he stated that
he had been chewing cocaine, but to
Sheriff Griffin of Abba on the way ia
Des Molnes he said he had been eat
ing opium. And at another time II
Is said he made the declaration that
he was drunk at the time OF the
| commission of the crime.

NEW IDEA
Helped Wis. Couple.

II doesn't pay to stick too closely to
old notions Of things. New ideas often
lead to better health, success and hap
piness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea new
to them and stepped up several rounds
on the health ladder. The husband
writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless.
nervous, sallow, weak and irritable.
My wife and both loved coffee and
thought 1t was a bracer." (delusion.)
FINALLY, after years of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the harmfulness
Of coffee, and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
when we made 1t right we liked II
and were relieved of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the change
--fresher skin, steadier nerves, better
temper, etc.
"These changes were not sudden.
but relief increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make 1t right. But when they boiled
Postum according to directions on
pkg, until it was dark and rich. they
liked it better than coffee and were
benefited by the change" There's

6Y EDWARD 8. CLARK.


Washington, Mar. 4.-Standing ON
the east portico of the capitol, just
after noon, William Howard Taft took
the oath of Office as president of the
Uaited States, an immense throng of
his fellow citizens witnessing the i'm
pressive ceremony. James School
craft Sherman already had been sworn
In as vice-president, in the senate
chambec. and the people acclaimed
the new chief executives of the ma
ton. .....
Notwithstanding the fact that Mr..
Taft has been in civil pursuits all his
life the military display which accom-
panied his induction into Office was
greater than that which marked the
Inauguration of the militant rough
rider president, Theodore Roosevelt,
four years ago. Washington was
filled with civilians and soldiers and
sailors. From the earliest daylight
hour the streets were crowded with
people. Pennsylvania avenue, the cen
ter of all things in Washington, was
packed with the crowds, every man
and woman in which sought, by an
early arrival, to obtain place of van
tage from which the great procession,
which for hours passed through the
broad thoroughfare, could be seen

Early IN the day the president-elect

governors of several states, prominent
federal officials, personal friends Of
the president and the members of the
presidential family to a remote degree
of relationship. A light luncheon was
served in the great state dining-room,
and as soon as it was over the presi-

White House to the presidential re-
viewing stand built on the south side
of the avenue directly in front Of the

1t took the procession three hours to
pass the reviewing stand. 1t was a
great sight full of interest and color.
Under the direction of the trained mil
itary chieftains who had given their
time to the perfection OF details. the
parade passed quickly and in perfect
form. When in front of the review.
ing stand some of the civil marching
clubs showed their proficiency in drill
by performing evolutions. The regu-
lars and National Guardsmen. how
ever, swept by in perfect military pre-
cision. The parade was worthy OF the
occasion that called 1t into being.
inaugural Ball in Evening.
When the last of the parading bod
les had passed the president returned
to the White House for a short rest
before preparing to go to the great
inaugural ball, which was given in the
Pension building. The ball was the
brilliant affair that 1t always is. 1t
was attended by tremendous throng.
In the center of the great hall which
occupies the lower floor Of the struc-
ture a space was roped off. The Wis
itors stood outside the open place walt
ing the arrival of President and
Mrs. Taft and Vice-President and
Mrs. Sherman. They came finally and
stayed on the main floor for some
time, and then retired to the presi-
dents box in the gallery above, where
they watched the proceedings below.
On the great mall on the Potomac
side of the White House In the even.
ing there was brilliant display of
fireworks, a display that was CO.

monies, was one that was worthy of
the event which made 1t time of
