The early reports in the in­ auguration week from the railroads throughout the country indicating an un­ usually large number of passengers en- route to the inauguration led Washing tonians to expect an unusually large crowd, but even then all expectations were surpassed. A notable feature of this vast throng was the unusually large attendance from the sunny south. This element, which a year or two ago regarded Mr. Roosevelt as an enemy, having at last succeeded in understand­ ing his thoughts, sentiments and feel­ ing towards them, now regard him as a most enthusiastic friend, and their eagerness to show their reciprocal feel­ ings was demonstrated in many ways, and no opportunity was lost to assure him of the enthusiastic welcome which he shall receive in his visit through the southf.immideiately after his infengura tion. President Roosevelt's usual good fort­ une followed him in having favorable weather, and altogether the great throngs that crowded the Capital City went back with the greatest satisfaction with their trip. The usual festivities incident to inaugurations were not only present, but on a more elaborate scale than ever, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Roosevelt is a plain, democratic sort of a man who believes in plain mannera and especially the "Simple Life," great er effort w#s put forth this time than ever before by the committee in charge of the ceremonies to exceed all former occasions of this sort and they succeed­ ed admirably. THE London Lancet is now attacking the beef trust on sanitary grounds It really does seem unhealthy to belong to a trust at the present time. A KALAMAZOO physician has discov- ered a man entirely without brains The only advise we can give is to chloro­ form him or irive him a federal position. THE California Senate has expelled those four members who accepted bribes of $350 each. They should have known better than to accept less than a thou­ sand. MR. ROOSEVELT will not get that $25,000 dollars raise in his salary as Congress was too busy looking after its "private affairs" to bother with the President. ( IT was very considerate of the weath­ er man to get his snow-storm and bad weather in during the first part of inau­ guration week and to leave the best for inauguration day. ALTHOUGH the Senate a^qfrttted •Fudge Swayne in the impeachment trial it is understood that they let him off easy with the understanding that he will not'ever do it again. • THERE is ample justification for the recent effort that was made to raise the President of America's salary, as he has been called upon to act as policeman for the whole western hemisphere. THE Souix Indians were much disap pointed because they were not allowed to march in the inaugural procession. They thought our Inauguration was go­ ing to be a circus or wild west show. Sioux CITY,' Iowa, has a wonderful prodigy in a young girl. She can read one's thmicrhts nnd foil +V«n nmnilnt nt uion^v in a purse without looking at it and make a great heavy table dance a jig.

SENATOR MCCUMBER of South Da­ kota wants wtftat and cotton statistics collected once a month. Why not once a day, so the "lambs" could have a dope sheet every morning before going to slaughter? THE Cincinnati Enquirer wants to know what the Wisconsin legislature meant tfy passing a bill prohibiting the sale of giant firecrackers and then send­ ing its "biggest explosive" to the Unit­ ed States Senate. SEVERAL over sensitive persons throughout the country have been get­ ting nervous for fear Santo Domingo would want to seek protection, under Uncle S^m's sheltering winja; and thus become a part of this nation, but Secre­ tary Hay has assured them that we would not have the island as a gift. We hope their hearts will be "easy now." Etfery Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the b 1 o od in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes. If this action be­ comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT'S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di­ gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan­ tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos­ sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even be­ fore, you expect it. We will tend you a •ample free.
