ELOPERS HALTED
BY THE ARRIVAL
+. OF GIRLS PARENTS
Came Here From Pennsyl-
vania and Applied for
License.

After spending the night at the House
OF Detention, Miss Margaret Miller,
eighteen years old, who eloped to WASH
ington yesterday with Louis F. Baker,
a travelling sign painter, was taken in
charge this morning by her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. william M. Miller, of
Lewiston. Pa, who arrived in the city
on an early train.
Baker, who spent the night at the
First precinct police station. was dis
charged as soon as the girl had been
turned over to her parents.
The elopement was the elimination
of a romance of less than a week
Baker, who is employed by a big to-
bacco firm, arrived in Lewiston last
Thursday. He met Miss Miller the
same day, and 1t was case of love
at first sight. When he had completed
his work in Lewiston he persuaded the
girl to elope with him. Miller. who is
a Pennsylvania railroad engineer,
learned of his daughters elopement a
few hours after she had left Lewiston
with Baker. He had the district attor-
ney wire the police here, and when the
couple applied for a license at the City
Hall yesterday afternoon they were
taken in custody by Detective Grant.
Miss Miller was a very much disap-
pointed young woman when her parents
reached the city this morning and posi-
lively refused to let her marry Baker.
h She pleaded in vain with her mother
and father to let her marry the sigr
painter. asserting that she loved him
and would be happy with him.
Ny wife and ! don't even lnow this
man. Miller told Inspector Boardman
I'VE have never seen him until this
morning. My daughter had known hin
less than a week."
Baker, who gave his age as twenty
eight, said he did not see what right
any one had to interfere with the elope,
inent. He asserted Miss Miller was OF
legal age. He promised, however. thai
he would make no further efforts tc
marry the young woman.

A Home Endorsement

In our Meyer supplement will be
found an article from "a subscriber to
the Calmar Courier. The editor of the
Courier supplements his subscribers
article with the following:
Mr.. Meyer, the subject of this
sketch, has certain sense of modesty
and does not desire the editor of his
home paper to do any boosting in par
ticular for him, as he feels that his
record and standing in this community
should be his recommend, but of
course appreciates good word from
people in general. The above sketch
of Mr.. Meyer by an admirer however
is very good review of his character
and principles. In his public and pri-
vate life he has shown good judgment,
honesty of purpose, and has the moral
courage to be true to his convictions,
and usually does what he undertakes
to do. One can hardly help admiring
his undaunted spirit when battling for
principle or project. From our
intimate acquaintance with him we do
not think the Democratic party made
any mistake in nominating him,

they would be glad to consider the
matter.

ROOSEVELT HOME BUT TIRED
WOUND STILL OPEN AND POSI-.
eiLITY OF INFECTION.
Patient 10 Confident Of Soon Being
Back In the Cam.
paIsn.

Oyster Bay, N. T., Oct. 23.-The
quiet routine Of life at Sycamore Hill
was picked up again by Colonel Roose-
welt and his family as though it had
not been interrupted by the firing Of
shot meant to kill the master of the
house.
For the first time since he was
wounded while In Milwaukee eight
days ago, Colonel Roosevelt was unat-
tended by physician. There was no
one in the house except members Of
the family and servants, and the colo
mel spoke hopefully Of being able,
after one day more Of rest, gradually
to resume his work.
Four physicians we're with the col.
onel on his arrival at Oyster Bay from
Chicago and after they had dressed
his wound they told him the one es.
sential was complete rest. If their
directions are observed, it is expected
the former presidents complete re-
covery is probable, although it cannot
yet be said that he is entirely out of
danger.
DR.. Alexander Lambert and DR..
Scurry Terrell, who accompanied Col
onel Roosevelt from Chicago, were
Joined in New York by DR.. Joseph A.
Blake ad DR.. George E. Brewer. Al.
ter examining the patient. they said
the wound was still wide open, spoke
of the possibility of infection, and
added that they were unable to say
whether it would be possible for him
to take up the work Of the campaign
again.
The doctors all went to New York.
Although his physicians would make
no promises, Colonel Roosevelt was
confident that he would soon be back
in the campaign, at least to the ex.
tent of exercising general direction.

c. N. Hunt, Bull Loose. /"

The bull moose speech las, Tuesday
night called out an audience which fill
ed the court house hall, but over half
the audience were ladies and children.
BY actual count 2lO voters left the hall
at the close of the speech.
Mr.. Hunts speech was chiefly re-
markable in that he talked over two
hours and did not advance a single ar
gument for or against any man or any
issue. A good share of his speech was
devoted to eulogy of the Washington
fruit country.
He was very emphatic in stating that
the Progressive party was new party
mot republican party. He called
those who nominated Taft thieves"
and said that those who supported him
we're particeps criminis, accessories
after the fact This must have sound
ed rather harsh to republicans who feel
that they are standing by the regular
republican party in supporting Taft
and who consider Roosevelt as a dis
credited and discarded candidate be-
fore the republican convention. and
now running on boiling ticket. In
asmuch as Mr.. Hunt did not refer to
the regular republican state and coun-
ty ticket, the inference is plain that
the Bull Moose of the state and county
will not support any one who upholds
"the thieves" but will simply vote the
straight Progressive ticket, so far as
it goes and will not vote for the repub.
lican nominees on state ami county
ticket unless they have declared for
Roosevelt.
