Persons who think that when Mr..
Roosevelt returns from Africa he
will raise a rumpus" because his
friend, Clifford Pinchot, was dis
missed as Chief Forester seem to
forget that the former President
was probably the most strict disci-
plinarian who ever sat in the White
House. Mr.. Roosevelt never per-
mitted any of his subordinates to
talk back. The big stick was not
brought into play solely in the case
of "malefactors of great wealth, !"
but was used by the African hunter
pro tenn on any person whom he
thought was taking advantage of
him. He and Mr.. Pinchot were
great friends it is true, but great
as this friendship was the exforest-
er never would have dared send a
letter to Congress containing yelled
charges against Mr.. Roosevelt
His punishment would have been
quick and certain. There is a story
about an inventor who offered a
magazine editor an appliance which
was warranted to throw an
obstreperous caller out of the office.
The editor said he didn't want it,
adding that he could do the job
himself without the aid of an appli-
ance. "But this thing" said che
inventor, will bring him back and
throw him out again" Thereup-
on the sale was consummated. That
is the kind of an appliance that was
popular in the Roosevelt admins
tration. Mr.. Pinchot may thank
his lucky star that he wrote the
Dolliver letter after March 4 1900

Beautiful Floating Theatre Has Arr'v

Tonight.

The magnificent floating theatre OF
Cooley & Thorn arrived at the local
wharf early this morning and viii ex-
hibit to the usually large crowd TO-
night. An inspection Of the fine fioat-
ing palace is convincing that they are
we'll prepared to accommodate their pa
irons in elegant style, and the char
acter of their entertainments are OF q
higher class than is usually presented
by the average floating show. The
equipments would compare favorably
with those of some Of the theatres
IN many of the first class cities OF the
country and the fact that the general
admission may be had for the popular
price of twenty-five cents never fails
to give them a full house where there
are enough people living to furnish
the number. Their exhibitions have
been spoken of by the newspapers
where they have been with the most
extravagant terms of commentator.

After more than three months of

long residence here.
Death was due to complication
of ailments, stomach and heart trou-

brought about her demise. Since the
middle of last April, Mrs. Kilroy had
been confined to her bed and it was
through several months of brave
struggle that she passed, death COM

resembling Proctor had boarded the
train at Keokuk and left it at Bush

automobile late tonight.
Those who saw and recognized the
man after his sudden fight from
Peoria unite in saying there is moth

indicate he was mentally unbalanced.
No unusual expressions were mani
tested when he returned the saluta-

hours before his disappearance. 1t
was not known that he was wanted
until the case was placed in the
hands of the police departments and
the manner in which he conducted
himself would have led no one to le-

officers.
The police department at Keokuk
was asked early this morning to make

The fact that Proctor was seen
alive and in a normal frame Of mind
has caused breath of easiness in
the Proctor family, overcome with
grief since tie disappearance last
Thursday morning. The reports OF

Erwin Holzapfel, manager of the

up to press time today, that he met,
shook hands and chatted for short
time with Joseph A. Proctor, the
missing president of the Proctor
Lumber Company of Peoria, H., who
disappeared fro-l his home there last
Thursday.
Holzapfel is the former school
mate and friend of Proctor, who met
the Peorian on one of the streets OF
Keokuk yesterday morning. The
local business man Immediately went
to the police station after reading the
story in the Chicago papers about the
disappearance of Proctor and told
Chief Scheyers Of seeing and talking
to the citizen of Illinois.
The police have searched diligently
since being informed of Proctor's be-
ing here but nothing has been seen
OF the man and only Holzapfel's word
stands, that the Peoria man was ever
here. Surely it is strange that Proc

PORT LOBOS RAILROAD.
Nogales Business Men Sell Valuable
 ConceS SSionS.

The Star learns from reliable au- thority that the Development Com pany of America is pushing it's proJect. the building of a railroad from Tucson or Sasco to Port Lobos, on the guilt | coast of Sonora, to a successful com
 pletion. The Development Company of Anne rica is the owner of the great Tombstone mines, the Imperial Copper | company, at Silver Bell, the reduction
 works at Sasco and many other large | and important interests in Arizona. The route to the gulf has been thor oughly worked over and careful esti- mates made of the proposed road. Two
 weeks ago the transfer of the Mexican concession, held by NJ sssrs' H Henderson and Sandoval, was made to the pres ent company. This concession was originally made to the Peters Cart ridge Company of Cincinnati through the Sandoval brothers ot Nogales, and
 Mir. Henderson of Los Angeles. and by them transferred to the present company. The concession includes the wharfage privilege of both Port Lobos and Port Isabel and for which S25,- 900 was paid to the Mexican govern ment.
 The northern terminus of the road will be either Tucson or Sasco, but which has yet to be determined, but in either event the losing place will be reached by branch line, diverging from the main one, somewhere to the south. The former place has the ad vantage as to distance, but 1t is more than probable that Tucson will more than make the difference good when the proper time for giving it attention comes.
 The construction of the road will, it is said, be commenced early in the coming year.-Star.
