BUFFALO REPUBLICANS
RECEIVE ROOSEVELT.
(Wave-Democrat Special.)
Buffalo, N. Y., Aug. 25.—Roose-
velt arrived at 6:20 and was met
bv a delegation from the Ellcott
lub. He was taken to their club
rooms where three hundred sat
down to breakfast.
He held several conferences with
the leaders and addressed the clut)
briefly, advocating keeping the
water supply of the Great Lakes
unpolluted. He departed at 7:30
for Sheyenne.
J. Arenz, of Fairmont, was doing
business In the city today.
The curtain in police court rose
promptly at y o'clock this, morn-
ing and the "bawdyville" perfor-
mance was on. City Attorney
Charles lielsell had so far recovered
from his illness of yesterday thai
he was able to again appear in the
leading role, although his strenu-
ous work of the past week is tell-
ing on him to some extent.
Ethel Richardson "the female
sleuth" was seen again in her fa-
miliar role and again made good,
as just before the curtain went
down on the first act, Judge Wil-
king in part of "justice" tendered
the defendant a bouquet in the
form of a fine of $25.
The "victim" was a young girl
who claimed to be the victim or
circumstances, and posed as another
example of "Old Dog Tray" and
was only caught in bad company,
while Attorney McClalne, repre-
sented the defendant and appeared
in the role of the protector of
"Injured Innocence."
Just after dinner another case
of a similar nature was called and
is being trial this afternoon.
Yesterday afternoon two other
cases were tried and both defend-
ants were found guilty.
Specialties are being pulled at
each performance, and they are of
a class that get a "hand" from the
audience on every occurence, but
the one that was the recipient of
the most applause was the "sketch
team" stunt yesterday afternoon In
which Chief of Police Thrasher and
Attorney Hairy O. Glasser figured.
Glasser was representing the de-
fendant in a case, and is alleged to
have paid his respects in the ar-
gument to Chief Thrasher for the
activity he is showing in the prose-
cution of the rooming house cases,
and after the trial closed Thrasher
is said to have taken him to task
for his words, and in the argu-
ment that ensued several hot words
and epithets are said to have passed
between the men.
In the cases that have already
been tried on the charges made hy
the Richardson girl, all resulted
in a conviction, which Is evidence
that she has got the goods.
The trial of the rooming house
keepers will close in a few days
and then it is said that the "girl
sleuth' has a large amount of dope
on the sellers of booze in this city,
and they will probably be put the
griddle then.
Since her wtfrk in Enid she has
come into possession of "dope*
along several lines. This informa-
tion is in the hands of the officials
nd it is Up to them to go ahead
with the exposure, which they seem
inclined to do. And if these offi-
cials keep up the work they have
started some sensational develop-
ments are sure to occur, and the
dear public will soon hear some-
thing drop.
BAN PLACED ON
PINK LEMONADE
Barkers Hereafter Must Declare
Their Goods to Be
Imitation.
Kansas City, Aug. 2i .—Gone are
the days of pink lemonade in Kan-
sas. The marvelous combination of
tartaric acid, saccharine, water ana
a bit of lemon peel hfts Jeen placed
under the ban by the state board
of health.
Hereafter if the barker at the
county fair wants to dispose of his
imitation lemonade—the kind that
sells two schooners for a nickel,
with a ticket to the poisonous rep-
tile show thrown in—he must not
shout to the straggling thrpngs
that he is selling the real goods
at reduced rates. He must, both
vocally and on his signs, say that
his drink is only imitation lemon-
ade.
Furthermore, the board rules thai
imitation lemonade must be made
from pure citric acid and that tar-
taric acid and saccharine cannot
be used.
The board is taking the matter
up with the management of all fair
associations throughout the state.

RAILROAD SURVEYOR IS
TAKEN FOR LUNATIC.
(Wave-Democrat Special.)
San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 25.
J. H. Long, deputy sheriff of Bexar
county and expert in the handling
of lunatics, has discovered that
here are a number of things he
does not know, among them the
ways of surveyors. To a plaintive
message received at sheriff's head
quarters from a woman living on
the outskirts of the city, Deputy
Sheriff Long responded with much
alacrity. The woman had sent
word that a supposed lunatic was
acting queerly, keeping going from
one place to another in a jeery aim-
less manner and fastening bits of
paper to trees, fences and little
stakes he had with him.
When Deputy Sheriff Long told
the alleged lunatic that he was
wanted by his mother downtown
rather odd smile fled over the coun-
tenance of the latter. The man
of the law then decided to play
a more direct game and told him
that he was wanted by the law.
Why he should be was not clear
to the man and after a resulting
argument In which Deputy Sheriff
Long got the worst of it, both were
of the same turn of mind. The
surveyor explained to the officer
that the bits of paper were in-
tended to show the way to a grad-
ing crew, and the woman who ac-
cused him of lunacy—for such Is
the technical charge—has a dam-
age suit ahead of her.

THE JUDGE SCORES.
Several lawyers in a southern city
were discussing the merits and de-
merits of a well-known member of
the bar who had been gathered to
his fathers, when one of the party
related an incident of the time
when he had studied in the old
man's office.
It seems that the inefficiency of
the copying clerk there kept the
judge continually worked up to the
point of explosion. One day a wire
basket fell off the top of the clerk's
desk and scratched his cheek. Not
having any court-plaster, the young
man slapped on three postage-
stamps and went on with his work.
Later in the day he had occas-
ion to take certain papers to the
court, and, forgetting all about the
stamps, he put on his hat to go
out. At the door he met the judge,
who raised his head and fixed the
clerk with an astonished stare.
"Anything wrong, sir." stam-
mered the bewildered clerk.
'Yes, sir, there is!" thundered
