Mrs. Peter Felton, of Markle, has been taken to the Chicago hospital where Dr. V.- J. Barcus will perform an operation. She has been suffering from a peculiar ailment several weeks and the attending physicians have been more or 'less puzzled about the diagnosis. Medical attention seemed to give her little relief and she conjsented to go to the Chicago hospital where she might be under the care of expert surgeons. A specialist from Galesburg was among those to examine her but he could not give relief.

— 1 rj.-.— > (Special to Daily Democrat.) Washington l , D. C„ January I.— Neighbor Roosevelt, surrounded by bls family and a few Invited friends, kept open house today, and there wash’t one of the thousands who paid their respects and wished /the host a "Happy New Year,” who didn’t say it was the most successful "At Home” given by the Roosevelts since they moved into the White House with their belongings seven years come last September, Many distinguished folks including what is recognized as the “Four Hundred” in these parts—the diplomatic corps—were among the specially invited guests, as were also all those fortunate enough to move In the select social and official circles of the manly host and charming hostess. The townspeople were there in overwhelming numbers. All vied to make the occasion a memorable one, from the distinguished representatives of crowned heads, in vafi-colored uniform’s heavy ’with gold braid—and with courtly bow and a near touch, of the finger tips in greeting—to the quietly clad “plain * people,” with cheery well wishes and hand clasp like a vise. Those who didn’t go in carriages and automobiles held back until after the foreign notables had departed, and only a few of them saw Mistress Roosevelt and her intimates, who had been standing by her in the receiving line, or in the much sought after position of "behind the line.” This was because of the custom which has grown up of the good woman of the White House serving light refreshments to the ladles of the cabinet, before they leave for their respective - homes to receive New Years’ calls themselves. The genial host, enured to great physical strain, firmly l stood his ground throughout the trying ordeal 1 of over three hours, and generously 1 pump-handled each and every guest I without fear or favor, and regardless 1 of race, color, previous condition of servitude, or sect. The fixings added j much to the success of the event — L music by the Maine band, fioral decorations, and, palms p ftropical lux--1 uriance. On the stroke of 11 o’clock, > four buglers from the band stepped i from their scarlet-coated fellows stationed in the main entrance hall and ( sounded the ball “The President,” as they reached the foot of the staircase loading to the family apartments on the second floor. " ", ' In a moment Neighbor Roosevelt ■ and his wife started the’ descent of the staircase, to the strains of “The Star Spangled Banner,” and made tbeir way to the south side of the Blue ! Room, followed by the Vice-president and Mrs. Fairbanks and the members, nf the cabinet. The ladies took their position at the right and formed a part of the receiving line for more than an hour. The presentation of foreign ambassadors and ministers was real swell. They entered by the south entrance, exclusively reserved for them, and slowly made their way to the host and 'hostess with their wives and members of their suites. Each diplomat was attired in the court costume befitting his rank. The dean of th e corps, the Italian ambassador, Baron Edmondo Mayor des Planches, led the line as he has for several years, but there were many changes in the reprsentation of the other governments which followed. Baron von Sternburg, the president’s close friend, removed by death, was greatly msised. His place was taken by Count John Heinrich von Bernstorff, as the personal representative of the German emperor, and who was accompanied by the Countess, an American who has not seen the land of her nativity before fcr twenty-flve years. Having arrived but recently, the Count came at the foot of the line of ambassadors, just before the Haitian Minster, instead of ranking fourth, as did his predecessor, and following the riChly gowned ambassadorial party of Prince T ang Shao Yi and his distinguished suite. The full dress of the Prince’s p"rty was of a gfargeousness that bad never before been seen in this tcwn, and it , paled almost into insignificance the dress of Dr. Wu, the re appointed Chinese minister, who appeared for the first time in several years. Baron Kogoro Takahira, who was formerly a mere minister, came today for the first time to a New Year’s reception 'in his new role of an. bassador. ' \ 0. Gude, representing Norway; Doctor Louis Lazo, of Honduras; Count Moltke, of Denmark; C. C. Arosemena of Panama; Senpr Joubert, of the Dominican Republic and L. A. Coromllas, of Greece, ”11 new. ministerial members of the corps, were given an especially cordial greeting by the president and their colleagues. i Following the glittering diplomatic i procession came the chief justice and ' tie associate justices of the supreme i criurt, other members of the judiciary, ] former members of the cabinet and 1 U S. ambassadors and ministers. The < senators and representstives came < next, although the holiday season had t left but tew in the city. Another < pleasing splotch came immediately i "j. A , 5' V* ’ 1

TTIRr " ' ' . after—officers of the army and navy and other military organizations all wearing the regulation special full dress. At 12:15 the procession ot .well-wishers took on a mere sombre color. It was made up of the civilian officers and organizations appearing in the following order: Regents and secretary of ‘the Smithsonian institution; civil service commission; interstate commerce commission; isthmian canal commission; commissioners of the-District of Columbia; asaslstant secretaries of departments; solicitor general; assistant attorneys general; assistant postmasters geperal; treasurer of the United States; librarian <of public printer, heads of bureaus; president of the Columbia Institution for Deaf - and Dumb; Society of the. Cincinnati; Aztec Club of 1847; associated veterans, war of 1846-47; Military Order Loyal Legion; Grand Army; Medal of Hon- ■ or Legion; Veteran Legion; Union Veteran’s Union; Society Army of Santiago; Spanish War -Veterans; Army and Navy Union; Minute Men; Sons of the American Revolution, and tho Oldest Inhabitants Association. Then came the simple life. The Jong serpentine line of "plain people” that, had been pulsating with impa- : tience out of doors for two hours, from the head resting on - the front pcrtlco in sight and hearing of the 1 gaiety, tt> the rear many squares 1 away, moved forward at 1 p. m., when • the big door was thrown open. The • gay uniforms and fine gowns were • absent but the flowers and plants and > music were there and—more impori tpn than all —Neighbor Roosevelt. The great band which had been dis- • coursing classical airs burst forth in i a blare of “See The Conquering Hero I Comes’’ as the column fairly leaped ’ inside. Slowly at first but faster - moved the throng, and more joyous 1 became the band, skipping from one t lively air to another. At one time I it was “Listen to My Tale of Woe” • and at another “There Will Be a Hot ■ Time in the Old Town Tonight.” “Step lively there, step lively there, > and see the elephant pack his trunk,” l came the melody, but not the words, ■ as the band broke into the familiar I “MayX>r of Tokio.” Even Neighbor 1 Roosevelt could not repress a smile, > for all the good people of every rank 1 and from almst every clime had been wishing him a successful hunt on the ■ African trip which is to follow his fef tirement from public life. *■ > More rapidly moved the column. ! Now a quick step from the band. Then ’ a double quick from the callers. The : neatly uniformed help, placed at dtf--1 ferent parts of the room to keep the ‘ course clear, took a hand and by an 1 insinuating gesture here or a tap there, 1 livened up the faltering ones. Other gentlemanly attendants observed that there wer e no packages carried in ■ the ranks and say to it that the rule ■ against a caller greeting the host with one hand behind his back or concealed in his overcoat pocket, was not violated. It was a cosmopolitan gathering, from first to last, and not less so after the disappearance of the royal trappings, the frock coats and the handsome gowns, for' in the “people’s column” were old age and youth, “Willie boys” and simpering maids, maiden ladies an washer women, the genteel laborer as well as the fellow who looked as if he had not known profitable toil for years; the white and the black, the freshly scoured as well as some who had neglected their toilet. They hurried along, the embodiment of Shakespeare’s Seven Ages, with, all intermediate grades that he could have conceived of and others not dreamed of in his philosophy. Through it stood Neighbor «Rosevelt, with no cider or apples to but having a cheery salutation for all, a p?t on the shoulder for an acquaintance here and there in the line and with nobody missing a hearty grasp of that white gloved hand, showing evidences of Soil, but no indication of a tremor of weakness in the energy behind it. Thus came to a close the last New Years’ reception of a seven years’ administration. —o A PARTY GOING TO TEXAS . They Will Look at the Country and the Land. A party of ten Adams county farmers and business men have left for Texas, the object of the 'trip being to look at the country and incidentally at the land. It is probable that sever'd sales will result as several in the party is not adverse to taking a shot at an investment, providing that it looks all right, Those who are going are Henry Siting, Barney Myers, Edward and Thomas Colchln, William Lichtle, Casper Miller, Louis Koeneman, Julius Haugk °nd William Hartings of this county, and J. Moorman, of Cincinaatl. They will be gone ten days or two weeks. They will spend some time in Uwelda county, which is located seventy-five miles beyond San Antonio.

. Asa Blount, whose wife and babe of tender years ar e thrown promiscuously upon the mercies of Decatur people, and who Is wanted at Portland upon the charge of criminal assault upon Miss Fay Laman, a lass of fourteen years, residing near Pennville, will soon be brought to justice, according to a dispatch from Portland; Blount who wHI be remembered by his participancy in a melee at the home of James Harmon, at Rivarre, was two Years ago declared idsane and for two months was a lunatic confined in the Jay county Jail. The criminal negligence he has displayed relative to his family is indcatlve of the fact that he was released too soon and his incarceration ■ for, an indefinite length of time that he may either regain mental faculties or self respect at least, seems to be a very fitting climax to the evil life fie ■ has led during the past four weeks. ■ The Portland Sun has the following to say in the regard to the man: The affidavit with’ which Blount is charged is on file in the court of Justice of the Peace A. G. Lewis, although it is generally believed that I the grand jury at its last session, also returned an indictment against him for the same crime. A verification of the action taken by the grand ■ jury, of course, cannot be obtained > urtil the arrest is made. It is charged t that Vm November 7th, Blount committed his dastardly act upon Miss Layman,, .who is but fourteen years i of age. She was visiting in this city 5 at the time, being a guest of her sisi ter, who married Isaac Bolunt, a 1 brother of the accused man. The grl ■ kept her association with Blount a profound secret until her return home -about one week later, when she ini formed her parents. She was then > accompanied to this city by her mothl er and appeared before Prosecuting r Attorney James R. Fleming and an > afiidavit was prepared against Blount J and filed in the justice’s court. Po--5 llceman John D. Neeley attempted to ’ arrest Blount but the latter succeeded t in escaping his and has since not been seen in this locality. , o ’ Petersburg, Ind., January 1. —Pike , county went “dry” by a majority of r 892 votes. Complete returns from the twenty-six precincts of the county are i in. The result was a surprise to the r temperance forces, as it had been prei dieted yesterday that the county s would vote “dry” by about 200 ma- - jorlty. The saloon men carried the city of Petersburg by fourteen votes, . but lost Winslow, Otwell, Delpen, i Union and Augusta. The majority in j each township was as follows: Jeffer- - son, 165; Washington, 77; Marion, s 101; Patoka, 190; Monroe, 133; Logan, i 31; Lockhart, 33; Clay, 103, and Mad- , Ison,. 15. The fight was of a nonr partisan character, and leading Ret publicans and Democrats of the couni ty worked together. The four newst papers of the county were back of i the “dry” element. The only saloon in Pike county will quit business July i 1, 1909. The citizens of Petersburg aie jubilant over the victory. The , “drys” carried every township in the county,and lost but six precincts, three of these being* in the Q|ty of Petersburg. The people of Pike county were almost as a unit opposed to a repeal of the county local option law. Only 60 per cent of the vote was : pc lied, but of this per cent the saloon : i men polled a full vote. < ] ISLAND EXISTS ONE MONTH j •'O. Addition to New Hebrides Appears and Vanishes by Magic. Honolulu, Dec. 31.—Fro m the New Hebrides it is reported that a new island suddenly appeared above the surface of the ocean in a night oft the coast of the Island of Santo. After a time the natives became venturesome and visited the new island and subsequently began the planting of cocoanuts, congratulating themselves on the acquisition of new territory. But about a month afterward it disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared, and there is now an extensive submerged reef where the island was. It is believed to have appeared and disappeared through submarine volcanic action. The exact date of the emergence and subsidence are not.given, but It is supposed to have disappeared in the latter part of October. The news of the phenomena was brought by the island steamer Malalta. — o —— . J * Fred Koldeway, John Coffee and Louis Koldeway made a visit to the county infirmary Monday and besides enjoying a good visit they were shown through every department. They found everything in tip-top shape and have many words pt praise for Manager Graber and wife. They believe that every taxpayer in the county should visit the fhrm for they say they are confident that if they do so they “will feel like they do, that the farm is well taken care of. The stock is In excellent condition, and everything looks thrifty and welt carde for. The unfortunate people who are housed there are also comfortable and as happy as can be.
