it was a glory Of color, movement and

million mark. The absentees from the
banking lines of the parade were most
ly the policemen, who were given or
ders to protect the temporarily yacat-
ed residences OF the capital.
Woodrow Wilson asked that "Jeffer-
sonian simplicity" be observed in all
things which had to do with his in
auguration. The command for Jeffer-
sonian simplicity seems to be suscep-
tible to elastic construction. There
was nothing savoring of courts or roy
atty, but there was evidence in plenty
that the American people love uni
forms and all kinds OF display which
can find place within the limits OF
democratic definition. 1t was a good
parade and great occasion generally

The inhibition of the inaugural ball
and of the planned public reception at

Washington, March 4.-Woodrow

the United States and Thomas Riley
Marshall of Indiana is president.
The instant that the oath-taking cere-
monies at noon today in front of the
capitol were completed, the Democrat
ic party Of this country came into it's

teen years from the precincts of ex-

A throng of many thousands of
people witnessed the newly elected

In the capacity of their chief execu-

At the conclusion of the speech the
bands played once more, and William
Howard Taft, now ex-president of the
United States, entered a carriage with
the new president and, reversing the
order Of an hour before, sat on the
left hand side of the carriage. while

tenth cheered with them, as becoming
good American citizens watching a
governmental change ordered in &C
cordance with the law and the Con-
stitution
The Bible which during each sue
cessive four years Is kept as one of
the treasures of the Supreme court,
was the immediate instrument of the
oath taking of Woodrow Wilson. Ed
ward Douglass White, chief justice of
the United States, held the Book for
Mr. Wilson to rest his hands upon
while he made solemn covenant to
support the Constitution and the laws
Of the United States, and to fulfill the
duties Of his office as we'll and as
faithfully as 1t lay within his power
to do.
Thomas Riley Marshall swore feal-
ty to the Constitution and to the
people in the senate chamber, where
for four years it will be his duty to
preside over the deliberations of the
members of the upper house of con-
gress.
Ceremonies Simple and Impressive.
Both Of the ceremonies proper were
conducted in a severely simple but
most impressive manner. The sur
roundings of the scene OF the presi-
dents induction into Office, however,
were not so simple, for 1t was an out
of-door event and the great gathering
Of military, naval and uniformed civil
organizations gave much more than a
touch of splendor to the scene.
In the senate chamber, where the
the oath was taken by the man now
vtce-president Of the United States,
there were gathered about 1000
people, all that the upper house will
contain without the risk of danger
because of the rush and press Of the
multitudes. 1t is probable that no
where else in the United States at
any time are there gathered an equal
number of men and women whose
names are SO widely known. The
gathering In the senate chamber and
later on the east portico of the CAPT
toll was composed largely of those
prominent for their services in Amer
lea, and in part Of foreigners who
have secured places for their names
In the current history of the worlds
doings.
Arranged by Congress.
The arrangements of the ceremonies
for the Inauguration of Woodrow Will
son and Thomas Riley Marshall were
made by the joint committee on ar.
rangements of congress. The senate
section Of this committee was ruled
by a majority Of Republicans, but
there is Democratic testimony to the
fact that the Republican senators
were willing to Guido their Democratic
brethren in the work of making or
derby and impressive the Inaugural
ceremonies in honor of two chieftains
of the opposition.
President Taft and President-eleci
Wilson rode together from the White
House to the capitol, accompanied by
two members of the congressional
committee of arrangements. The vice
president-elect also rode from the
White House to the capitol and in the
carriage with him were the senate's
president pro tempore, Senator Bacor
Of Georgia, and three members of the
congressional committee of arrange
ments.

Regulars In First Division.
The regulars OF the country's two
armed service naturally had the right
of way. Maj. Gen. w. w. Wother-
spoon, United States army. was In

which marched the soldiers and sailors
and marines from the posts and the
navy yards within a days ride OF
Washington. The West Point cadets
and the midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis, competent be-
yond other corps in manual and in
evolution, the future generals and ad-
mirals of the army. had place in the
first division.
All branches OF the army service
were represented in the body OF regu-
lars-engineers, artillery, cavalry. In
fantry and signal corps. The sailors
and marines from half a dozen battle
ships rolled along smartly In the wake
OF their landsmen brethren.
The National Guard division follow
ed the division Of regulars. 1t was
commanded by Brig Gen. Albert L.
Mills, United States army. who wore
the medal OF honor given him for con-
spicuous personal gallantry at the bat
tie of San Juan hill. General Mills is
the chief OF the militia division OF the
United States war department.
The entire National Guard OF New
Jersey was in line. and Pennsylvania.
Georgia, Maine and North Carolina
we're represented by bodies OF civilian
soldiers. Cadets from many OF the
private and state military schools OF
the country had place in the militia
division.
Veterans and Civilians.
The third division of the parade was
composed of Grand Army OF the Re-
public veterans, members OF the Union
Veteran league and OF the Spanish
war organizations. Gen. James f.
Stuart OF Chicago. a veteran OF both
the Civil and the Spanish wars. was
In command.
Robert n. Harper. chief marshal OF

According To c. +. Kennedy, local

Gillian county has had for several
years. Since September LIST S.4s
inches Of moisture have fallen in this
county. In the same season In 1912
the precipitation was 2.7O inches and
In 1911 IL was 3.s7 inches. While the
precipitation in 1911 was greater than
this year Il did not come at as good a
time. October Is the best month for
rainfall here because In September the
evaporation Is very heavy and in Nov
ember Il usually falls on frozen soil.
In October 1911 the rainfall was only
81 Of an inch while this year In oc.
tober Il was 2.26 inches. The temper
ature this year has also been especially
favorable.

A. B. Stanley of Lone Rock

the charge of having in his
possession some venison upon
which there was no tag. Mr..
Stanley pleaded guilty TO the
charge but said he had bought
the venison from an Indian,
Billy George. A watch is now
being kept for the Indian. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Stanley had
no thought of violating the law
but the fact that he had the
venison without the tag was a
technical violation.
