A ROYAL WELCOME.
CO.,. ROOSEVELT ENTHUsIAsTi. cALLY GREETED BY VAST
 THRoNG IN NEW YORK.
HE IS MET AT QUARANTINE.
Escorted to the Battery by a Great FIotilla-Speeches and Land Parade Affair Is Spontaneous and !dor' Partisan.

New York. TJune 1s.--He has come back
 Theodore Roosevelt returned to his native land today. and was given . welcome home such as was never he fore accorded to citizen of this re- public. The whole country joined in 1t, and 1t was so spontaneous and so utterly non-partisan that 1t could not but be most flattering to the former president.
 Since emerging from the African jungle the latter part of March. Mr. Roosevelt has been the guest of near ly every European ruler and almost unprecedented honors have been heaped on him. The reception by his fellow citizens was fitting climax to his triumphal tour and must have been the most satisfactory event connected with 1t.
 FiotlIia Meets Him at Quarantine.
 More than a month ago every avail able craft in New York harbor had been engaged for the day, and nu- merous big organizations. like the Re publican club of New York and the Hamilton club of Chicago, had chaS. tered regular coast line steamers, Early in the morning this immense fiotilla sailed far down the bay. and when, about nine o'clock. the scouting tugs and motor boats came flying in with the word that the Kaiserin Au- guste Victoria was approaching, all made ready for the first greeting.
 As the big liner came into sight, every whistle on every vessel was tied open and shrieked the welcome to the returning wanderer. Colonel Roose- welt, with Mrs. Roosevelt and Kermit by his side, stood on the deck, waving his hand and smiling the familiar smile, and the waiting thousands cheered him again and again.
 Reception Committee Takes Him.
 At Quarantine the necessary for malities were quickly over and the official reception committee took the colonel and his party aboard it's rev enue cutter That vessel at once started up the harbor and all the gaily decorated craft, filled with clubs and private parties, fell in behind and formed a most spectacular water pa rade. On almost every boat was a band, and all the way the musicians played at the top of their lungs. The shores were black with people who shouted their greetings to Teddy" as he passed and the factories and mills added the noise of their whistles to the general din.
 So it went all the way up to Twen- ty-third street, where the parade turned and made it's way back to the Battery. At that historic spot at the lower end of Manhattan island Col onel Roosevelt landed to receive the formal welcome home.
 Welcomed by Mayor Gaynor. In an enclosure in the center of Battery park were 200 distinguished guests, including senators, represent. atives, ambassadors and close per sonal friends of Mir. Roosevelt Sur rounding this enclosure was another reserved space which was occupied by about 2.5O0 prominent men and members of the big reception com. mittee. The rest of the park was open to the public. and evcIy inch of it was occupied from an early hour in the morning.
 The cheering and music were almost continuous as the colonel entered the

Officials of Road Had Organized Com. pany aud Sold Real Estate on
 Promises of Division.
VERY LIKE MENA'S CASE
If Judgment Is Not Reversed by Su' preme Court May Make Judge Rogers Opinion Very
 Valuable.

Under recent date the St. Paul Pioneer Press published the fol- lowing telegram from Fort Wayne, Ind:
 A jury returned a verdict today against the Wabash railroad giving George Crate of Ashley $448. The suit was brought because the road had removed the shops and division point of the new branch of Wabash road from Ashley to Montpelier, o :, after officials of the road had organ ized a real estate corporation and sold lots to Crate and others in the new town on the promise that the company would build and maintain the division point there.
 The company permitted, the evil dence showed, the billboards of the officials to be erected on the com pany's property and in other ways it appeared that the real estate specu- lation of the officials had the support of the company.
 When the shops had been built the town grew and many found them selves well-to-do, but when without warning the company removed it's shops the town languished and those who had invested were bankrupt. It was shown in evidence that this same sort of treatment had been given employees of the company in the towns of Tilden, Ill.,, Andrews, Ind. and Deray, Mich. Judge Hammond, for the company, attempted to have the court dismiss the case for want of jurisdiction, but the court re- quired the case to go to the jury. If the judgment is not reversed there will be hundreds of other suits filed against the company.
 The case has been bitterly fought. The case is so remarkably like that of the Kansas City Southern and Mena as to makefit of special interest at this time to all proper ty owners of the city.
 sIu Mena's case the Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf, represented by Fred A. Hornbeck, its land com. missioner, advertised far and wide the sale of us Mena prop erty, running excursions to bring prospective buyers to its central division town.
 The city grew and thrived. Then when doubt came tue off, cers of the recognized company the Kansas City Southern made fine promises, and again advance ment and prosperity followed in the footsteps of confidence in- spired by these promises.
 Then these same officials took steps looking toward doing the very thing all had been led to believe they would not do. For fear of suits for damages or suits to prevent the propc sd removal of the division, the road 
 asked the Federal court to restrain Mena and her citizens by injuuc. tior,.
 Judge Rogers in his recent de- cision, refused the plea of the railroad and, in declining to grant the request of the citiz.n for an injunction to restrain the road from removing tue M .na division, stated that Mena should, if seeking relief, look to tue state instead of Federal courts. which seems again to be in llue with the action in the Indiana case.

A pretty wedding of the early
autumn was that of Miss Bertha
Josephine Rykken and Hildus Est
ness, which took place at the Eagle
Lake church on Wednesday after
noon, September 18th, at two
