DEAL OH FOR CEDAR SPRIGS

DIFFICULTIES
NOT YET CLEARED UP BY THE MAIN STREET MERCHANT LIGHT LOOKED FOR TOMORROW.
PRO PUBLICO BONO
Kingly Profits Demand Pricely Ex
pensesMoney Talks Let Profits Answer.
In an article written for this pa
per yesterday it was stated that one of the most prominent firms doing business on Main street was up to the question of changing their loca
tion, or even of leaving the city.
This is due, as was said then, to an
inability of the OAvners of the build
ing and the gentleman occupying it
to agree upon the extensie repairs asked for and the conditions of the lease. ' It must be admitted after all our prejudice against ' the man who has buildings for rent and who comes around with such fatal regularity for his pay, that he, too, has rights Avhich, in fairness, must be considered. If he spends money like a prince in fitting up a propertAT, he must be expected to reap profits like a king. Of

PATHETKlETTER Written to President Roosevelt by Senator Hanna. Cleveland, Feb., 25. Senator Han-
na's last Avritten Avords .were in the form of a pathetic letter to President RooseA-elt, in which he acknowledged in a way quite characteristic, the President's thoughtfulness in calling at his hotel. The letter, Avhich was Avritten by the senator on the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 5, follows: My Dear Mr. President : You
It is due the public to say that the owners of the building in ques-
ion and the firm occupying it are j . -i , , ..... J " " eiety and gave to the latter the motto
umS nm eatiun, ox geuing ro-it bearg tod get her on the basis of high-minded i
liberality. Still it may yet be too soon to say that the lavish expenditure of money demanded has been altogether agreed to by the somewhat conservatiA-e property OAvners. But, if the present plans are carried out,
and it is now thought probable that they Avill be, this location, one of the
A-ery best in the city, will compare favorably in all its appointments with
the best equipped metropolitan business houses. By tomorrow it is hoped there Avill be no longer any reason for talking in parables about this matter. It Avill be arranged satisfactor
ily by that time or the deal Avill be
off, and, in either case, the names of the parties Avill be given.
Mvsterv is a commodity which I touched a tender spot, old man, Avhen
newspapers seldom deal in and it Avill called personally to inquire after
me tins a. m. I may be worse before I can 'be better, but all the same such "drops" of kindness are good for a fellow. Sincerely yours, M. A. Hanna. The next day a reply was received from the President, Avith a note stating that it Avas to to be shown to the senator Avhen Mrs. Hanna thought best. It read: Dear Senator : Indeed it is YOUR letter from your sick bed Avhich is touching not my visit. May you very soon be with us again, old fellow, as strong in body and as vigorous in your leadership and your friendship as ever. Faithfully yours, Theodore Roosevelt. Senator Hanna never saw the reply. FABMERSfflSTITD'E
