Kansas City, Mo., :
Roosevelt spent live
City, -Mo., today and 1
guest of Kansas l City,
across the state line, tor two houis,
leaving for the west at 4 o'clock in
the afternoon. in the two cities the
president was driven over a route
miles long, reviewed nearly 30,000
school children, made two speeches
one at Convention hall, before the
greatest crow J that the noted structure
ever held, and partook of a lunch soon
after at the Baltimore hotel as the
guest of the Commercial club of Kan
sas City, Mo. In the party there
was Elias Root, secretary of war, who
Joined the party at St. Louis at the
express wish of the president.
Accorded Enthusiastic Reception.
The reception given President Roose
velt was intensely enthusiastic, and
it is estimated that RKI.OdO poisons,
several thousand coming to town from
surrounding places, greeted him. The
schools were closed, business general
ly was suspended, the mayor having
proclaimed a holiday, and many resi
dences and business houses were dec
orated.
The presidential party arrived from
St. Louis at D: 10 in the morning and
were met by a reception eommltteo
at Fifteenth street and Askew avenue,
2 miles from the business center.
The reception at the train was brief
and informal. Five members of the
eommltteo, J. F. Richards and A. M.
Qlendenning, president an/1 secretary
respectively of tho Commercial club;
H. W. Evans, chairman of the recep
tion committee; Mayor J. A. Rex and
Colonel William H. Nelson, entering
tho private car.
There was a'crowd on hand and It
cheered from the moment the train
hove in sight until tho president’s
carriage moved away for a drive. A
detachment of mounted police togeth
er with the Third regiment. M. N. G.,
which had just returned from St.
Louis, acted as an escort. The routo
starting from the train took In 5 miles
of Kansas City’s boulevard system.
Greeted by 20,000 Children.
Passing first through the Paze, a
driveway a mile in length, the presi
dent was greeted by over 20,000 chil
dren, white and black, from private
and public schools, who stood seven
deep In the grass plot between two
drive ways and forming a line that
extended for three -blocks. When
^.President Roosevelt appeared, each of
tho children waved a tiny American
flag, cheering all tho while, and while
the president passed, thousands of
voices broke forth In singing “Ameri
ca.” In the bright sunll »ht tho thou,
sands of happy-faced children backed
by rows of residences, decorated and
covered with spectators, proved one
of the most pleasing features of the
day. After traversing Berton Glad
stone boulevard the party stopped and
viewed the landscape from Scarrltt’s
Point, which overlooks tho Missouri
river. 200 feet above that stream. Then
the party was driven through the bus
iness section to Convention hall,
where the principal exercises of the
day wete held. The great hall was
reached at a few minutes after 11.
There the two sections of the reception
committee were consolidated.
' Hall Profusely Decorated.
. The decorations of tho hall wore
profuse and every available foot of
apace in the hall, which has a seating
capacity of 18,000, was occupied. As
President Roosevelt emerged on to
the stage the band started ‘‘The Star
Spangled Banner.” and the current
was turned on In two electric flags
that formed part of the celling decor
ations. Instantly the crowd broke
Into tremendous cheers, while CO
Harvard graduates with vigor gave
their ccllege cry ending with the
word" Roosevelt!" Portions of the
hall were set apart for federal and
confederate soldiers, of whom there
were 500, a body of the Daughters of
the Revolution and the officers of the
Third regiment. On the platform,
besides the presidential party, were
the members of the reception com
mittee.
President Roosevelt was Introduced
by Mayor Reed. A grreat demonstra
tion took place as he arose to speak.
The president spoke for 15 minutes.
Shortly before noon the start was
made for the Baltimore hotel, where,
after a brief reception In the parlors,
a luncheon, perhaps the most elabor
ate ever given In Kansas City, was
served. The guests numbered 140.
The luncheon over, tho president
was delivered Into the bands of the
committee of Kansas City, Kans., and
became the guest of that city. Evan
H. Brown, president of the Mercan
tile club, presented President Roose
velt with a large silk sunflower and
he was escorted to a carriage decor
ated with sunflowers and silken Amer
ican flags. A company of the Fourth
United States cavalry and a squad ol
mounted police acted as escort to the
state of Kansas. When the party
started beneath the bluff overlooking
the union depot, a presidential salute
was fired from cannon placed high
above the procession.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out o( order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it Is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy,
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It is sold
by druggists, in fifty-
cent and one dollar
sizes. You may have a
sample bottle by mail
free, also pamphlet tell- noma or Swamp-Root,
ing all about ft, including many of the
thousands of testimonial tetters received
from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y., be sure and
mention this paper.
Don’t make any mistake, but remember
the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghamton,
N. Y., on every bottle.
