WESLEYAN METHODIST

Last Sundays services were well
attended and an excellent sermon was
delivered. The pastor preached from
Exodus O.: 27. While the attendance
was very good, yet there was room for
more, both in the services and the
Sabbath school. We urge upon more
of the parents TO be present at Sab

make this the banner year in every

Bravely danouncing not only the

had he arrived than he was waited

him of the conspiracy and pots to

stand against the Sheffield outrage.
His friends acknowledged their pain
at the necessity imposed upon them
by the mob and it's lack Of regard for
Justice and right, but felt that they
would be poWerless to protect young

Oyster Bay, M. r., Jan. s. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, former president
of the United States and one Of the
most picturesque and forcefnl figures
ever known in American public life,
died at his world-famous country horaes
at Sycamore Hill, az 4: 10 o'clock this
naessss
A coan plieation Of diseasess born of
nn exploring expedition into the wilds
OF South America, il believed to have
been the indirect cause of death.
During the last eighteen months,
the former president had been treated
By foremost surgeons and medical men
of the country; but the lnalady baffled
the skill of the scientists.
1t is believed that the death OF his
youngest son, Quentin, who was Killed
in France q few months ago, during
q battle in the air with German pilots,
affected the former president deeply
and hastened his end.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Douglas
Robinson, sister of the former presl-
dent, are reported to be prostrated.
The death Of Colonel Roosevelt came
at time when he was said to be pre-
pairing d statement announcing that
he would not be candidate for the
presidency in 1920.
Pulmonary Enbolisn Caused Death
The end came when there was no
one in the room but his valet.
The following statement was made

the physician who last saw the Col
onel:

At 4:15 this morning, he simply

TO STATE FAIR


It having been found that the show

the coming fair will be far better than
expected it has been decided by the
business men of Circle that showing
ought to be made at the state fair next
week, and in that way do wonders
towards putting McCone County ION
the map.
A representation of business men
called on the board of commissioners
yesterday afternoon and asked for a
little aid in standing the expenses of
making the McCone County exhibit at
Helena. and the board decided to al
low $4,000 for this purpose.
They will also select some man to
go up there with the exhibit, if enough
exhibits can be rounded up" within
al day or SO to warrant sending.
1t is rather short notice as the fair
will start next week, but chances are
good that McCone county will be re-
presented at the big Fair.
