Inauguration of Presi- <
I dent Roosevelt SatI
urday, 4th inst. i
It is almost impossible to de- 1
scrilxMl the inauguration ceremonies, <
yet they arc quite simple and rou- i
tine by the laws and customs which 1
have prevailed for generations. The !
ceremonies which are but the as- <
scmblidg of the president and vice- president
elect together with the i
officials, the supreme court judges. 1
The oath of office is administered '
to the president and vice-president
by the chief justice of the United i
States Supreme Court. Then the
president delivers his inaugural ad- |
dress which is the most important
and leading feature of the day.
Thousands of people gathered at
Washington to witness the inaugu
x mi ? '
ration. i nc civil and military pa- rade
through the streets of the eity 1
was perhaps the largest and most ;
imposing of any previous occasion. 1
The city was gaily decorated with 1
flags and national colors. The
weather was fine and nothing hap- 1
pencd to mar the pleasure or throw 1
a damper upon the jubilant spirits j
and enthusiasm of the immense
crowd of moving humanity. All I
was joy, peace, harmony, good feel- 5
ing and fellowship. One must lie *
I present on such occasions to fully I
realize and appreciate its glory and 1
grandeur. 1

The Crescent Steam Laundry.
(
For th<5 first time we visited a (
steam laundry, thoj- crescent steam j
laundry of this city recently put in j
operation by Mr. R. M. Estcs & Co.
To our amazement the entire machinery
is simple and easily operated
and the work it does is perfectly
astonishing. Tho machinery itfall
perfectly new tyid of the latest and 1
most improved, patent. This laun- :
dry is being very liberally patronized
by the city people and the
neighboring towns, and also by the
rural districts. The prices for work
done is very reasonable, and to have 1
it done so nicely and in a satisfactory
manner, insures peace and
pleasure in the family circle. Mr.
R. M. Estes, the general manager,
is very enthusiastic over this fine
enterprise and has every assurance
of success in the undertaking. <
Union has long -stood in need of
a good laundry, and now that it is
hero, we hope that the people will
show their appreciation by their I
liberal .patronage,
MUKDEN'S FALL
NOW IMMINENT.
JAPS ROUT AND SURROUND
KUROPATKIN'S
ARMY.
Russian Line Pierced?
righting Desperately to
Escape from Oyama's
Clutches?Losses ; are
Enormous.
With General Oku's forces in
front of Mukden, Sunday, March
3.?The Russian right has l>cen
completely shattered and the troops
jf the czar are in full retreat, leaving
behind them thousands of dead
md wounded, and large quantities
)f stores and munitions. The fighting
during the last three days has
jcen of a fierceness of character
that easily eclipsed any previous
performance of the war and once
again the troops of the Mikado have
carried well nigh impregnable positions
at the point of the bayonet
ifter having first made a breach by
the use of heavy siege guns and an
ibundance of well delivered schrapncl.
After dark on Saturday night the
jluards Division charged across a
section of level ground and stormed
die Russian rifle pits at the summit
of the hills which comprised
,he second line of defenses. In the
iicc of a withering and unusually
^ell-directed fire they plunged on
ip to the top and drpve the Rusrians
out at the point of the bayoict.
Early this (Sunday) morning the
>rdcr was given to renew the attack
md the entire column, in cschelon
formation, moved on and up against
;hc heights where the Russians were
nasscd. It was one of the most
lespcrate charges in the history of
nodcrn warfare but. the fro nth.
ushes of the intrepid Japanese
:ould not not l>e withstood and
vhen the columns were finally halted
to permit the men a breathing
spell the Japanese lines had been
noved forward a good two miles.
This advantage was quickly folowed
up and before the demoralized
Russians could recover their spirits
mother assault, and if anything a
nore persistently directed one, was
jogun. In the meantime a large
letachment of pieked men had been
x>ld off and they crossed the Hun
[liver and moved down, taking the
Russians on the flank, completing a
turning movement in magnificent
style.
The blow was well delivered and
within an hour the entire Russian
right was in confusion and their
tire demoralized. Hundreds of
Russians threw away their guns in
5rder to l>e able to more quickly
retreat and the entire rout was lined
with abandoned accoutrements.
Several Russian field pieces were
captured in this movement. The
Japanese left is still moving rapidly
forward and is encountering but
little opposision as the Russian
troops arc too badly frightened to
make more than a perfunctory resistance.
Romance of a Little Slipper.
Upon my soul! bah Jo! Miss
Teazle that was a graceful fall.
Lucky you are not hurt; but you
did not have far to fall you know,
you arc petite you know: Went
round that umbrella staff one time
too many for your equilibrium, allow
me to help you to rise. O!
thanks Dr. Fair, but where is my
dipper, That's queer isn't it, not
*o strange either, if we knew where
Mr. Huggins went. For shame,
you suppose he snatched my slipper
md left the room. He nor the
dipper are now in this room. Tret's
SO for hnn. Now Mr. Boulwarc I appeal
to you as one familiar with
the process of recovering stolen
property, to proceed at once*in the
most cxpcdicious and summary
manner possible to have my property
restored to my ]x>ssession immediately
if not sooner. No use, this is
a clear CindeTrilla case. Shis delightful
little episode transpired not many
miles away. The balance of this
romance; continued in our next.
Mrs. F. G. Trefzer spent several
