The most spectacular and strenu-
Gus President this country has ever
known retires from the White House
today after service of seven years.
From the White House he plunges
into the wilds of Africa to hunt and
forget it all, and doesn't care a
tinker's blank whether anybody
likes his methods or not. Hated by
some leaders, loved by the masses,
upsetting all precedents in politics,
Theodore Roosevelt retires to pri-
vate life with unique place in his
country's history. Whatever his
friends or enemies may say of him,
all must admit that he was in the
game from the moment play" was
called till he finished today.
Washington, D. c. March 4.-His-
tory again will repeat itself TODAY
when William Howard Taft bows
his head over the holy bible and
takes the solumn obligation which
shall make him for a stated period,
the chief magistrate of the United
States.
The ceremony of the induction of
a president into office is distinctively
American. Conceived in the minds
and hearts of the nations fathers,
while they yet were in the throes of
a great revolution, it is grand in its
motive-sublime in its simplicity.
Through the lapse of years since the
establishment of the American gov
ernment, substantially no change has
been made in the ceremonial form,
although elaborate and beautiful ac-
compartments, in recent years have
become notable features of this most
important of American functions.
In the time of Taft, t,as in the time of
Washington, the spectacle bears the
same simple lmpresslveness.
1t was Washington who, to large
extent, devised the plan of a presi-
dents inaugural. In this respect,
as in others. his work has stood the
test of time. 1t will endure, too,
for so long as the nation may live. in
its original form of beautiful and
impressive simplicity.

AS Others See Us

The city of Miller has passed a
genera. license ordinance by which
caravans, box balls, bowling alleys,
and moving picture shows pay twen-
ty-five dollars a year, merry go
rounds ten dollars a day, skating
rinks five dollars a month, and shoot
ing galleries two dollars. The or
dinance is silent as to baby shows,
merry widow hat exhibitions, the
playing of slippery Ann. organ
grinding or shooting craps. The
Miller city council should get to-
gether and supply these important
omissions. .-Highmore Herald.

NOFOLK & SOUTHERN SALE

Certain, 1t Is Said, That the Appeal
OF Fergus Reid Will Be
Made.

With the publication of the officia

closure December 7 of the Norfolk &
southern Railway, which has been in
the hands of receivers sine eJuly
1903, there was reiteration of firm in.
tent1on on the part of Fergus Reid
minority bondho1der, fighting for a de-
ferred sale of the road, to appeal from
the decision of Judge Waddill denying
MS amended and supplemental bill
the ming Of which would have meant
an Indefinite tie-up Of the Norfolk &
Southern sale.
The papers for the Reid appeal are
said to have been all prepared and a
mandamus may come at any time
holding up the proposed sale Decem
Der Z until such time as the Reid case
may be determined in the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals. Tho
denial OF Judge Waddill of an unlim-
tied scope of investigation by a spe-
c1al master under the original peti
ton Of Fergus Reid is declared TO
nave spurred on an appeal by Mr.. Reid
IN the matter of the denial of his sup
Elementary petition.
1t looks now as If the entire effort
Will be concentrated on the supple-
mentary petition, which would be more
effective and far-reaching for the pur
poses of Mr.. Reid than would be
simple continuation of a narrow in
vest1gation under the original petition,
and a simultaneous sale of the prop
erty.
The sale is to be advertised once

GREAT BUILDING SLIPPING.
Engineers in New York Are Facing Sc,
riOus Problem,

New York, Nov. A Gordon of M.
1cemen, $50 in all, stood guard TODAY
around New York's 100000 criminal
courts building, which the building
inspectors have suddenly found threat
ened with collapse. No one was all
lowed in the structure except a few
"orkmen and an occasional eyicted
court official in search of important
papers. All traffic on the surrounding
streets has been stopped. Meanwhile
SUI workmen are snoring up the
cracking walls and constructing a
shield of twelve-inch beams across
the surface of Lafayette street to pro-
tect the subway beneath in case the
building suddenly falls into the street
The city's engineers expressed a
fear today that the historic Tombs
which occupies a full city
block just south of the criminal courts
building, nisat also be affected by the
slipping Of the treacherous earth ON
which tt e foundations of both are
built. Tie construction of the city's
5ubWays, which run beneath the
streets both in front and rear OF the
.Wo buildings, is blamed by engineers
for the slipping of the earth.

JOHN r. WALSH.
Convicted Chicago Banker Asks for =
Rehearing.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. A petition fol
rehearing in the case of John R. Walsh
the convicted Chicago banker, was
nled today by attorneys for plaintiff in
error error in the United States Cir.
cult Court of Appeals The petition
on behalf of Mr.. Walsh. filed by John
s. Miller, Merritt Starr and E. O.
R1tscher, of counsel for the former
president of the Chicago National
Bank, sets forth at the outset that the
opinion of the court in it's decision
upholding the verdict of guilty from
the court below was based upon a
m1sconception of the case and the
rules of law applicable"
The petition submits that in the
case at bar the plaintiff was placed on
trial before single jury upon an in
d1ctment containing one hundred and
nifty counts, each upon it's face pur-
porting to charge a distinct offense
In addition the trial court admitted in
evidence hundreds of other transac-
lions counted upon, but admitted upon
the question of intent or other theory
lt is submitted that both the trial
court IN its rulings and conduct of
the case, and this court in passing up
on the same, have overlooked the
principle, heretofore declared to he
fundamental by the Supreme Court,
that the court must not permit the
defendant to be embarrassed in his
defense by multiplicity of charges
embraced in one Indictment and to be
tried by one jury

RUMOR ROOSEVELT KILLED.
Douglas Robinson Takes No Stock in
the Story.

New York, Nov. 5.-Another of those
apparently absurd rumors that bob
up almost every time a prominent mar
gets out of direct touch with the world
went skipping over the country today
concerning former President Roose-
velt. This will-o'-the-wisp had it that
Mr.. Roosevelt had been killed in Afri-
ca and because of the dangers of AZ
rican hunting freshly imprinted on
the public men by Mr.. Roosevelt's
magazine articles, there was some un.
easiness until Douglas Robinson, Mr.
Roosevelt's brother-in-law, said en-
phatica1ly that he took no stock in
such reports.
Mr.. Robinson branded the first
vague reports of the day as false, and
when informed tonight that later ru-
mors had it that he (Mr Robinson)
had been advised by cable Of Mr..
Roosevelt's death, he authorized an
other vigorous denial. If anything
had happened to his illustrious broth
er-in-law. Mr.. Robinson was. sure he
would hear of 1T Immediately and ac-
cordingly he placed no credit in the
reports. Magazine editors and other
associates of Mr.. Roosevelt in New
York took this same view.
1t was pointed out also that the
colonial Office in London would be
promptly advised of any mishap to Mr..
Roosevelt, and as nothing had beer
heard there, this was taken as an ad.
ditiona1 Indication that the rumor was
merely news sprite from the field of
the sixth sense.
According to latest cable dispatches
Mr.. Roosevelt is hunting on the Guas
Ingishu plateau and will return to
Londiana in about five weeks.
