Prasident Roosevelt Has His first Hew
Year's Reception.
SHAKES HANDS WITH MANY PEOPLE
Cabinet Members and Foreign Repre
sentatives Greet Him—The Weather
Delightful and Vast Throngs Are In
Attendance*
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.—President
Roosevelt’s first public reception was
attended more largely than any New'
Year’s reception in a number of years.
In all 8,100 persons filed through the
White House and shook hands with
the president. Mr. Roosevelt on be
ing apprised that the crowd In line
outside the White House was unusu
ally large, gave orders that the gates
should not be closed until the last per
son desiring to do so had an opportu
nity to pay his respects.
The reception began promptly at 11
o’clock and It was 2:30 p. m. before
the last person in line had been pre
sented to the president, and a quarter
of an hour later before the reception
came to an end.
The weather was delightful, being
clear and crisp, so that no hardship
was suffered by the throng that wait
ed for hours before admission to the
White House. The reception was in
every way successful, the attendance
not only being large, but the decora
tions beautiful, the arrangements per
fect and the president in excellent
To each person the president ex
tended a cordial “Happy New Year,”
and Mrs. Roosevelt was equally pleas
ant to each of those who filed past
the line in the Blue parlor, where
the receiving party stood. Miss Alice
Roosevelt was conspicuous among
those assisting at the reception. A
party of her young girl friends, by
invitation, also participated in the
function.
Surrounded by the presidential and
cabinet circle, President Roosevelt
greeted officials in every branch of
public life, as well as a great con
course o! people from private life.
The scene within the historic mansion
was one of extraordinary beauty and
brilliancy, and there was an added
touch of interest in the occasion this
year from the fact that this was the
first official function of magnitude
with Mr. Roosevelt and his interest
ing family as the central figures.
The day was ideal for the observ
ance of the time-honored custom of
making New Year’s calls. The sun
shone from a cloudless sky, the air
was cool and bracing and fresh wind
made the White House flags stand
out proudly.
Early in the day an army of deco
rators and florists took possession of
the mansion and transformed the
stately corridors and parlors into
bowers of palms, potted plants and
sweet smelling flowers. The official
program for the day fixed 11 o’clock
as the time for opening the reception
with the calls of the members of the
cabinet and the foreign representa
tives, but some time before that hour
the approaches leading up to the mar
ble portico were filled with carriages,
while long lines of people took posi
tion at the outer gates in order to
have points of vantage when the pub
lic reception began.
Failures of the Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2.—Reports to
R. G. Dun & Co. show that the fail
ures for the year 1901 were 11,002 in

other fiduciary institutions there were
74 insolvencies, involving $108,008,
774, a total of 11,076 defaults and $131,
111,150 in liabilities.
Turbulence at Naplefi.
NAPLES, Jan. 2.—The arrival here
of the socialist member of the cham
ber of deputies, Signor Ferry, to ad
dress a meeting, resulted in turbulent
demonstrations, which the troops
were called out to suppress.

LEWISTON. Idaho, Jan. 2.—James
W. Reid, ex-congressman from North

several months. He was one of the

LOOKS LOR GREAT IPHEAVAL
Mla«looary Say« China It Preparing for a
Ureat War.
NEW YORK. Jan. 1.—Charles F.
Gammon, superintendent of colpor
teurs for the American Bible society
in northern China, writes to the soci
ety concerning the present situation in
the Chinese empire as follows:
"While at Shanghai I observed that
the Chinese government was openly
violating the provisions of the proto
col. The great empire would shake
off European domination. Thousands
of boat loads of small arms and am
munition were passing weekly up the
Yang Tse Kiang and the arsenals
were being enlarged and worked day
and night. Cargoes of explosives were
being received and the dowager em
press had issued instructions to all
officials to recruit the army and alBO
to inform her as to the fighting
strength of each division and the time
required to concentrate the forces at
a given point. There were and are
many unpromising features which
weighed heavily upon the minds of
those interested. I must believe that
the end is not yet and that within ten
yean, and possibly within five, a war
will ensue the like of which the world
has never known. For centuries Chi
na has been making repeated attempts
to expel the foreigner, each time prof
iting by past experience, each time bet
ter equipped and better planned. It
is now preparing as never before, buy
ing vast quantities of superior weap
ons and reorganizing its armies on
a correct basis. Therefore, the next
attempt will be in force and terrible
in execution. It will result in a uni
versal upheaval and the final dismem
berment of this empire—at a terrible
cost."
Creeks Ask New Agreement.
WASHRINGTON, D. C.,Jan. 1.—The
Creek Indian nation of Indian Ter
ritory has submitted to the interior
department a request for authority
for a uc.,.gation of Creeks to come
here with a new agreement which the
Creeks have drafted, looking for al
lotments of lands and other matters.
The agreement Is designed to take the
place of the one executed with 'he
Dawes commission, but which after
being altered here, is still pending.
The Creeks want to negotiate the new
agreement directly instead of througH
the Dawes commission. The depart
ment probably will refuse to sanction
the proposition.
Gets Four Years.
BE MARS, la., Jan. 1.—Will Bea
ver pleaded guilty to the charge of
manslaughter in the district court and
was sentenced to four years in the
penitentiary at Anamosa and fined $1
and costs of the action. Beaver was
implicated in the killing of John Jen
sen, who was shot on the Steffin farm
by Henry Steffin last April during a
quarrel. Steffin, who fired the fatal
shot, is serving an eight-year sen
tence for the crime. Beaver started
the shooting, discharging the con
tents of a gun at Jensen, but missing
him. Beaver's father and uncle are
wealthy land owners in this county.
Poor Outlook for Wheat.
SABINA, Kan., Jan. 1.—The out
look for winter wheat is becoming
decidedly unfavorable on account of
the dry weather. In eastern and
southern Kansas, while the weather
has been very cold, practically no
snow or rain has fallen this winter.
Unless moisture of some kind comeB
at once the prospect is that the wheat
crop will not amount to much.
Farmers generally reject the theory
that the excessive cold damaged the

Penny Postage Impossible.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.—Congress
man Loud, chairman of the house
committee on postoffiees and postal
roads, had 'a talk with the president
about postal legislation. Mr. Loud
says that 1-cent postage is out of the
question. "Under present conditions,”
says he, “penny postage would result
in a deficit of $35,000,000 annually.”

Deny Report of Compromise.
LONDON, Jan. 1.—Messrs. Boxall
and Befell, counsel for the Duke of
Manchester, declares there is no truth
in the report published In the United
States that the duke, with the assist
ance of his father-in-law had offered
Miss Poftia Knight, the actress, $20,

damages resulting from alleged breach
of promise of marriage. The lawyers
sayn o negotiations have occurred up
to the present time.
I A New Hotel Luxury.
Hotels become more palatial day by
day both in outward appearance and
interior equipment. A Chicago hotel
now proposes to exceed the height
of luxury heertofore reached by any
of its neighbors. Not content with
ordinary bath rooms, the management,
is about to add a new feature in the
shape of an atrima. corresponding to
the inner courts of the old Roman
palaces, with a pool of water in the
center, lounging rooms adjoining, and
every facility for luxurious idleness
which the Chicagoan of the future may
find time for.
Uncovered foul It Costly.
If a load of coal is left out of doors,
exposed to the weather, say, for a
month, it loses one-third of its heat
ing qualities. If a ton of the coal is
placed on the ground and left there
and another ton is placed under a
shed, the latter loses about 25 per cent
of its heating force, the former about
47 per cent. Hence it is a great sav
ing of coal to have it in a dry place,
covered over on all sides. The softer
the coal, the more heating power it
loses, because the volatile and valuable
constituents undergo a slow combus
tion.
A Grateful Man.
Cox, Wis., Jan. 6.—With Kidney dis
ease so bad that he could hardly walk
across the room for pain, Frank M.
Russell of this place was a man greatly
to be pitied.
He tired out with the slightest exer
tion and in spite of all the doctors’
could do for him he was growing grad
ually worse. He had tried many medi
cines and treatments without benefit,
but recently he read in a newspaper
about Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and these
helped him from the very first dose.
He took several boxes before he was
completely cured, but now he is well
and strong as ever he was, and feels
very grateful to Dodd's Kidney Pilla
for his restoration to good health.
It takes a great man to escape un
deserved glory.

wife is a part of the property he owns.

Ij The Distinctive Value
| of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
j as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
'C production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
0 for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
■ effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
^ naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup
| of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not
^ weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
^ dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
I excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
p laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,
| or the robust man.
* Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
| juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
| - manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front
of every package.
