President Happy As a School Boy Over
Prospects ot his Visit to
Dixie l and.
Washington, October 18.—No
school boy ever seemed happier
at the prospect of a day’s picnic
excursion than President Roose
velt this morning as he was pre
paring for his departure to Dixie.
The trip began at 8:30 o’clock.
By the peep of day there was a
bustle of activity around the
White House, and many signs
that the head of the house was
preparing for a long journey.
Quentin and the other children
were up to eat the farewell
breakfast with their father and
mother, and it was but a few
minutes after 8 when the presi
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt got in
the carriage and were driven
down the avenue at a sharp trot.
They reached the Pennsylva
nia station about a quarter of an
hour before starting time.
There was the usual crowd at
the station to see them off.
Hastily alighting the president
and Mrs. Roosevelt walked hur
riedly into the train shed where
their special was standing. The
crowd had only time for a glimpse
of them, but the women did not
fail to notice that Mrs. Roosevelt
wore “a black dress with blue
and white trimmings, and she
looked just liker her picture.”

SEARCY IN A TURMOIL.
Roberts’ Enemies Bitter in Their Denun
ciation and Tax Payers De
mand Prosecution Stop.
Searcy, Oct. 18.—A telegram
announcing the acquittal of John
V. Roberts at Marianna, on trial

The friends of Roberts rejoice,
while his enemies are bitter in
their denunciation of him. The
case has cost White county
more then $6,000 to date, and
the country people are free to
threaten dire results to Prose

refuses to drop the matter now.
FATAL SHOT OF HUNTER

Aimed for Black Bird.

Miss Bessie Bradley.

Sane to Insane.
! Hot Springs, Oct. 18, —Merch
Jaimison, who shot and killed
; his father, Dr. J. W. Alexander,
! the night of October 9, has ap
| parently lost his reason. At
least he simulates the actions of
a crazy man so cleverly that all
/jAnfortf- txrifVi V)im ho.
| 1/AJkVOV vv*»vmwv -- -- — ”
I lieve him demented.
The fact that the change from
sanity to insanity was rather
sudden gives reason for $ belief
which prevails that Jaimison will
l just as suddenly change his plea
from self-defense' to insanity,
| and that recent developments in
! the case have had something to
; do with his strange change in
j demeanor.
Rogers on tine Stump.

: Rogers has returned from Craig
j head county, where he spoke in
I the interest of his candidacy for
| governor at Lake City Monday
| night to a large audience.

titioned by residents of severa

penalty of $855,000, or a total of

Heretofore these suits have
been for fractional millions, but
the state is becoming more am
bitious in its announced purpose
to “bust the trusts.”
