Roosevelt Arrives Home After Exploration Trip—Flays Those .Who Doubt Discovery of the River. New York, May 19.—Theodore Roosevelt returned home today ifrom his visit of many months to South America. He arrived from Para at quarantine, shortly 'before 4 o'clock on 'board the Booth liner Aidan. He reaffirmed the verity of the “River of Doubt,” curtly denied having expressed himself as to presidential probabilities for 1916; declared he would not run for governor of New York, and made a few deprecatory remarks about his critics. Col. Roosevelt is noticeably thinner and he used a cane as he walked about the steamer’s deck. His face wore a healthy tan, and he had not apparently lost an ounce of his, vigor and energy. After staying three days in this country, Mr. Roosevelt will go to Spain, to the wedding of his son, Kermit.

It was learned the colonel still suffered from symptoms of fever. He had a chill earlier in the day. Mr. Roosevelt confessed he had lost 55 pounds, part of which he had regained. He also had been troubled by the bites of poisonous insects. The colonel declared he would make only one address before sailing tor Spain. “I will give this,” he said, “before the National Geographic society. At that time, I will answer any questions that any reputable person wishes to ask me about my trip. More than that I do not care to say now.”

(Miss iMary Early Holliday, of Indianapolis, will be present at the teachers’ meeting at the Presbyterian church at 7:30 this evening and will explain the work of mission study classes tor girls. All members and teachers of girls’ classes, and any others who are interested in the systematic teaching of missions are invited to hear her. Special Sale Saturday of this week on all Racine 50c work and dress shirts, 38c each or two tor 75e. C. EARL DUVALL.

DAD LETS ’EM ROLL

By E. E. JENNINGS.

The usual crowd had gathered in the C. & St. J. roundhouse at Craigville. I should say the usual "jolly” crowd, for pay day had come round once more, and one and all, from wiper t 8 passenger engineer, were killing time in various ways while waiting the arrival of the band wagon. Several yarns had been spun, and a few arguments had taken place, when Dad Allen, veteran engineer of the line, suddenly leaned forward in his chair and knocked the ashes out of on the heel of his boot. This was always a sure sign that Dad was about to open up, and invariably caused the same condition of silence and attention that are seen in court when the judge raps for order; for Dad was a rare entertainer. No engineer on the system had more close calls.

The old man reached in his pocket, produced his knife and tobacco, started to fill up his corn-cob again, and then began: "Listening to you boys kick because all freight cars ain’t equipped with air brakes yet, reminds me of a little mix-up I once had on the Kilmorna hill. "It was in the fall of 1887 that this happened, and it was in the spring of 1888 that I got my job back, after various officials had failed to discover the real reason why the ‘Chicago Bullet* ran away on the Kilmorna hill. “All the better class of engines carried Westinghouse those days, but we had a few little dinkies that did yard work and local business that the company did not think it worth while fitting up. When I came down to the roundhouse at Melton that morning, and found that my engine, the 446, had been taken to double-head the snow plow, I expressed my opinion of the locomotive foreman and other officials in no' uncertain language. "Some of the boys say there are blue streaks on the window glass yet down in the Melton roundhouse, where my breath frosted the pane, but that must have occurred when I found out that I had to take the 171 out on the ‘Bullet.’

“I knew the 171, and so did every man on the division, a little teapot that was pulled off the main line on account of poor steaming qualities, and I could see my finish trying to make time with a mill like that on the head-end of a beef train. “Well, we got the yard engine to glye us a shove out of the Melton yard, and managed to get away on the dot; and I was beginning to hope that we would get a clear run over the division when, as we were nearing Lyndon, I saw the order-board out against me. I whistled for brakes, pulled up and got orders to meet extra 42 at Sherwood, that little flagstation at the foot of Kilmorna hill. “I had figured on letting her go her own pace on that grade, but I knew that' I could never let her out with 22 cars of dressed beef behind her and stop at Sherwood; however, when we hit the top of the hill, I thought that I would let her go for half a mile and then give her the air, which would be safe enough, as I had done It dozens of times with 446; and right here Is where force of habit caused me to make the biggest bull I ever made on an engine. “When I thought It was about time to slow up I reached for the handle of the air-controller, only to discover that I had forgotten that there was no air on this engine. ThCre we were, splitting the wind at about fifty per. with nothing but hand-brakes behind us and two green brakemen in the caboose.

“I whistled brakes, threw her over, and gave her the sand, but It didn’t do much good. I looked back over the train, and could see one man crawling over the running-board of the car ahead of the dog-house on his hands and knees.

“Thinks I to myself, we’re in a deuce of a fix if Stewart isn’t in the clear at Sherwood, for by this time even air wouldn’t have held us up. When we rounded the curve near the west semaphore, I could see Stewart pulling in the siding at the east end switch, and I knew for certain that he wouldn’t get in the clear in time. “I whistled as long as I dared stay with her, and then I yelled to my fireman: ’Come on, son!* and we both lit out for thA deep snow, which, thanks be, was plentiful.

“The 171 side-swiped the fifth car ahead of Stewart’s caboose, but by good luck they had heard us whistling and had time to-hike out of the caboose and over the fence clear of the pile-up. “It took the auxiliary three days to clear up the mess; but it took the officials over three months trying to clear up the cause, which they didn't, or I wouldn’t be here with you fol* lows now."

Much to Explain.

The state of Indiana is again in need of money. Since the (business of the state has been conducted by democrats there has been a constant demand for money. In\ former years Indiana lived within her income and had something to apply each year on the state debt. But since the democrats have been running things it has been borrow, borrow, 'borrow. The present situation is indicated in the following dispatch from Indianapolis:

“Unless the counties of the state pay into the state treasury more than $1,100,000 by June 30, there is a strong probability that the democratic administration will again be compelled to go into the open market and borrow several hundred thousand dollars more money to meet the running expenses of the state. Already the administration has borrowed $600,000, , and there does not appear to be any limit to the amount that may yet have to be borrowed. “W. H. Vollmer, treasurer of state, says everything depends on whether the counties pay in the amount of money that it is estimated they should turn in by June 30. “In case it becomes necessary to borrow more money, or to obtain renewals, extensions or refunds of the present loans, Mr. Vollmer says ample notice will be given. He says, however, that no loans are under negotiation at this time. ‘The state will need about $1,100,000 in June. The present temporary loans of $600,000 will tall due in that month, and must either be paid or extended or refunded with new loans. It is now costing the state thfe enormous sum of $350,000 a month for running expenses. '“Of the $600,000 temporary loans now in existence, $400,000 is held by Indianapolis financial Institutions and $200,000 by a Chicago bank.” Democratic leaders said that the democratic party will go before the people in the coming campaign and ask endorsement on the strength of the financial showing that has been made. It would seem that the democrats have many things to explain.

Bull Moose Cemetery Gradually Enlarging.

Osgood, Ind., May 18.—Another bull moose paper has “given up the ghost,” the cause assigned being a lack of popular support. The Ripley Banner, published at Osgood, Ind., which aspired to be the bull moose organ of the Fourth district, was taken over last week by the Osgood Journal. In the public announcement of the suspension, approved by Editor Henry Ellwood, appears the following:

‘The reason which‘caused the sale is the present peculiar and uncertain political conditions and lack of financial support by progressives and soMJalled progressives Who live in Ripley county and this district. Mr. Ellwood and family have, since coming to Ripley county, put brains, money and hard Work into the progressive paper and also into other printed matter for the upbuilding of the progressive party, and received in return what is considered absolutely no support or encouragement”
