 NEW YORK, May 1S.-Theodore Roosevelt's return trip from the jun gles of Brazil will terminate -tomor- TOW when he arrives at Oyster Bay. The former president is nearly q well man after a siege of serious illness due to the privations and hardships he encountered It was an emaciated man who limped up the gangplank of the steamer leaving Brazil, according to the captain of the steamer Dun stan, on which Roosevelt was q pas scnger the first part of the home ward voyage.
 The morning Colonel Roosevelt boarded the Dunstan, he had under gOn an operation for an injury sus- tained to his leg while trying to save canoe in the river rapids during the tour of exploration. He had to be brought on a stretcher in an automo- bile to the Dunstan's dock. He re- fused to be carried on to the boat, but leaned on the arms of two com panions.
 The colOnerS appearance on the fourth day showed him q changed man, according to Captain Alexander. He asked to be introduced to the of ! ficers. said he was hungry, guessed he would go below for bread and jam and generally made himself popular with the crew.
 Kermit Roosevelt and Leo C. Miller and George K. Cherry. naturalists. members of the expedition. accom- panied the colonel to Para. Kermit left the party there to go to Spain. where he is to be married. Miller and Cherry are with the colonel on board the Aidan.
 Several monkeys, a bear and some of the inanimate fruits of the Roose- welt exploration trip arrived tonight on the Dunstan.
 Colonel Roosevelt was a passenger on the Dunstan for four days before being transferred to the Aidan. on which boat he arrives here tomorrow. Captain Alexander said the fever from which the colonel was suffering has disappeared and the wounded leg. due to an operation performed at Ma naos for an abscess is fast mending. 1 He has gained in weight, his appe- tite has returned and he is in the best spirits. According to friends of the Roosevelt family the impression that the colonel is returning a sick I man probably arose over their efforts to have him reach home without be- ing generally hailed by the public on shore

to see Mr.. Piersturff (Uncle Bill as
every one calls him. carrying1s milk
pals Che does his share of milking
of the cows. After milking time
he discards his overalls and attends
to the duties of the bank and his
other matters.
During the fall of 1896 he was
nominated as the democratic candidate
for State Treasurer, but went down
to defeat with the balance of the
ticket which was unsuccessful. Ever
since 1892 Mr.. Pierstorff has been
a member of the Dane County Board
of Supervisors with the exception of
three 81 years when he was elected
as the supervisor of assessments.
For six terms he has been the chair
man of the County Board, he having
performed the duties of this office
with efficiency and skill, being fair
to all concerned and thereby saving
the county vast sums of money; econ
omy has been his watchword. He
is faithful to common good whether
it interests the city or the rural COM
munities. Ever since the incorpora-
tion of the Village of Middleton he
has been its president. Mr.. Piers
torff is a thorough agriculturist and
is daily striving to advance its inter-
ests. He is president of the Dane
County Agricultural society and has
aided in making it one of the most
recognized institutions in the State of
Wisconsin. In closing wish to add
that l truthfully can commend Mr..
Pierstorff to the voters of the Bird
congressional district, for his record
shows that if he can make success of
any business which he undertakes he
equally can represent the various in
terests in this district in congress.
He has and will always work for the
best interest of the tax payers and
his people; he is versed in public
affairs and will make a strong sup
porter of President Wilson.
