15.000 VISITORS GATHER
CONFEDERATE REUNION
Ideal Weather Marks Opening of An
nual Assembly of Southern Veterans.
Memorial Association’s Session and
Meeting of Sons Feature First Day.
CHATTANOOGA. TBNN, May 26.
Ideal weather cheered the thousands
of etrly Confederate reunion visitors
and -laboring committee men to-day.
The suri was warm and but few light
clouds flecked the sky. The Indica
tions from the present appearance of
the streets and the books of the as
signment committee are that the at
tendance will be 25 per cent greater
than was expected. General Bennett
H. Young, commander-ln-chief, said
this morning that he was confident
that the crowds, however large, could
be comfortably handled. Fully 15,000
visitors are already in the city, in
cluding at least 2.500 veterans, ac
cording to estimates by reunion offi
cials.
Special Train* Arrive.
Special trains arriving every hour
continue to pour their thousands into
Chattanooga this afternoon. No con
fusion or congestion has resulted,
however.
Information booths, which have
been established at convenient places,
and special telephones have resulted
in general order, which is surprising
in handling the crowds. The last
finishing touches are being put on
this afternoon, and -Chattanooga now
awaits the crest of the human flood.
Sudden clouds flecked the sky at in
tervals shortly before noon, but the
return of a warm sun this afternoon
and n weather forecast of generally
fair to-dav and to-morrow allayed
any fear of bad weather.
Hospital Aid Stations.
Hospital aid stations are manned
in every part of the city, arrows be
ing placed along all streets pointing
to jlu- nearest. In addition, markers
have been posted dividing the city
into units for the benefit of strangers.
The general camps and commissaries
are prepared for the care of the vet
erans who will be quartered in them.
The police, aided by a corps of spe
cial men. have the situation well in
hand. All suspicious characters were
picked up last week in a stringent
campaign against loiterers.
The streets have a gala appear
ance, with banners, streamers, flags
and festoons of Confederate and na
tional. colors.
Sons Meet To-night.
The first session of tAie reunion of
Sons of Confederate Veterans will be
held to-night at 8 o’clock at the City

MAKES YOUR BACKACHE VANISH,
DRIVES RHEUMATIC PAINS AWAY {
Eases Stiff, Sore, Swollen Joints and Muscles, Relieving Back
ache and Bladder Disorders After Few Doses are Taken.
This Is what Croxone. the new
scientific discovery, does for suf
ferers of such troubles. It prompt
ly relieves these diseases because
it reaches the cause. It soaks right
Into the walls and linings of the
kidneys and cleans out the stopped-
up, inactive organs like water does
a sponge—neutralizes, and dissolves
every particle of uric acid and
makes the kidneys sift from the
blood all the waste matter and poi
sons that lodge in the joints and
muscles to scratch and irritate and
cause rheumatism. It soothes and
heals the delicate linings of the
bladder and leaves the kidneys in a
clean, strong, healthy condition, so
they can filter the blood and keep
you well.
If you suffer With backache—
have pains in the neck or sides—
nervous or dizzy spells—a few
doses of Croxone will relieve the
congestion and you will be surprised
how quickly all kidney, bladder and
rheumatic troubles will disappear.
Croxone is different from all
other remedies. It is so prepared
that it is practically Impossible to
take it into the human system
without results. An original pack
age of Croxone costs but a trifle,
and all druggists are authorized to
return the purchase price if Crox
one should fail in a single case.

MARQUETTE, MICH., May 26.—
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who ar
rived to-day for the trial of his $10,000
libel suit against George Newett, edi
tor of The Ishpeming Iron Ore, was in
a happy mood before the case was
called at 2 o’clock this afternoon. He
spent the morning after hip arrival
chatting with friends and visiting
with George P. Shiras, the naturalist,
whose guest he wll] be while in Mar
quette
“I light a fresh cigar every time 1
take a drink of whisky,” he said, as
he declined a cigar proffered to him
by Shiras. ’ And you know that T
never smoked a cigar in ipv life.
"1 am afraid that 1 am here strictly
on business. 1 have been invited to
speak to the high school ami before
several organizations, but I shall not
be able to do so. I have also been In
vited to attend the performance of
the ‘Prince of Pilsen,’ Thursday even
ing. out of compliment, no doubt, to
my old Dutch ancestry.
Name Sounds Suspicious.
“But it sounds too much like Pil-
sener and the association just at thie*
time is distasteful. So I shall not go.”
Homer Cook, editor of The Hough
ton (Mich.) Gazette, stepped up to the
Colonel during the morning and re
minded him that he had met him iu
Cuba.
“Just a minute." said Roosevelt.
"Oh, yes. I remember you. You were
one of the sentries that stopped me at
the bridge as I was riding into San
tiago after the surrender."
“Yes,” said Cook, with a laugh, “and
we made you dig your pass out of
your boot and show it to us. We were
stationed there to keep the soldiers
from getting into the city and getting
drunk.” Roosevelt laughed.
“If you could say that I looked as
though I were riding into Santiago
after a drink you would probably
prove a most valuable witness in this
case.” he remarked.
Will Go on Stand.
Colonel Roosevelt to-day Kild that
he would remain in Marquette until
the trial is over, no matter how long
It may require. His next engagement
is in Buffalo, June 10, at which time
he will deliver an address.
Colonel Roosevelt will take the
stand himself. This was made known
definitely to-day by Attorney Pound.
The Colonel will probably be the first
witness for the complainant.
Judge Richard C. Flannigan, who
wil] preside at the trial, spent the
morning on the bench hearing the
reading of the calendar for the May
term. When the Roosevelt case was
reached it was set for trial at 2 o’clock
in the afternoon.
The Colonel’s party made the trip
from Chicago to-day on the special
car “Clearwater."
The Colonel smiled when his atten
tion was called to the fact.
"It is the water-wagon special, all
right,” he said.

County Tax Collector Advises:
“Never Loaf, Be Courteous,
and Attend to Business.”
“Smile your way to success. It can
be done. Smiling won more friends
for me than anything else. I paid
strict attention to duty and handled
the county’s business as if it were
my business.”
In these words Andy Stewart. Tax
Collector for 24 years and one of the
most popular men in Atlanta, told
how he rose from a tinner's appren

trustworthy county officials.

blackened stoves in the basement of
the tin shop.
He is large in stature, with a big,
round jovial face. He says that he
never allows anything to get him ex

success and the winning of many
friends. He smiles when everything
else is blue. He even smiled when
The Georgian reporter detained him
from dinner.
“I attribute my success,” he said,
“to a few simple truths. By my suc
cess I mean possession of friends. 1
always did what I could to be hon
est and frank with everyone.”
