Leaving Natrobi in October, the party will proceed by the Uganda railway to Port Florence, on the a short stop will be made; then a steamer will be taken to Entebbe, 150 {miles away. There a caravan will be formed and the journey across Uganda to the Nile will be begun. It be reached about the first of the year 1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be touched at Kibira. In a general way the course of the Nile will be followed to Gendokoro, and thence to Khartoum. At this city Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit will be joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will continue down the Nile slowly to Cairo, visiting many points of interest on the way. To Speak In European Capitals. Plans for the remainder of the ex: president's two years’ tour have mot been decided upon definitely, but the time will be spent in Europe, and sev- eral matters of importance have been announced. He will visit Berlin at the invitation of Hmperor William and while there will deliver an address upon the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Berlin. From Germany he wil! go to France and deliver an address at the Sor- bonne. It has not been learned how long Mr. Roosevelt intends to stay in Berlin and Paris. After his visit in France, Mr. Rooseveit will go to Eng- land, where a reception of great warmth undoubtedly will be accorded to him, He has aecepted an invigation to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ox- ford university and in all probability the honorary degree of D. C. L., which velt. The versatility of Mr. Roosevelt will be shown by the fact that he will speak Cerman in his address before the students of the University of Ber. lin, French in his lecture at the Sor. bonne, and English in delivering the Romanes lecture at Oxford Pays His Own Expenses. Mr. Roosevelt will defray the ex penses of himself and his son on the African trip, but those of the scien- tists and the cost of preparing the specimens and shipping them to Amer- fea will be paid out of a fund secured for the purpose by the Smithsonian institution. 1 One of the objects of Mr. Roosevelt in taking this trip is for the purpose of collecting material for writing sev- eral books regarding his experiences. During last summer he contracted with Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York, giving that firm ali the rights for the serial and book-form publication of whatever he might write on his visit to Africa. It is said that the contract price agreed upon is $1 per word, but this never has been verified. Ne Slaughter of Animais. Even if the British colonial govern: ment should offer to throw open to Mr. Roosevelt and his companions the Af- rican game preserves under its con- trol, the ex-president will refuse te take advantage of this opportunity. Like other true sportsmen, he believes that the utmost protection should be given to wild animals on reservations and that permission to kill them should not be given or accepted under any circumstances unless, possibly, when predatory animals are becoming too numerous. Moreover, the killing of animals for sport is not the main object of his trip. Mr. Roosevelt hopes to send back to the Smithsonian institution two adult specimens, one of each sex, and a specimen of their young, of animals he meets with on the Dark Continent.

New York, Mar, 23,— Theodore |. Roosevelt, ex-president of the United | States, sailed out of New York harbor | Puesday on the steamer Hamburg on |:he way to his much-heralded hunting | srip in British East Africa. On the dock was a large assemblage ;of Mr. Roosevelt's friends, who had jgathered to bid him God-speed, and who cheered him as he stood at the rail of the steamer waving his hand ‘and smiling with delight. Beside him {stood the three men selected from ; hundreds of applicants to accompany ;him and assist him in collecting the ; Specimens of African fauna which he hopes to send back for the enrichment of the Smithsonian institution. These fortunate individuals were Maj. Ed- gar A. Mearns, J. Loring Alden and | Edmund Heller. They comprise the | Smithsenian’s expedition The fifth | member of the little party, and not to | be considered of least importance, was | che ex-president’s second son, Kermit, | ;who will be the official photographer of the expedition and, next to his | father, the chief hunter.

On MacMillan’s Ranch. William Northrup MacMillan, for. formerly of St. Louis, owns a large estate near Nairobi and his big, lux- urious farmhouse will be headquarters for about six months while the hunt. ers and scientists make trips of vary: ing length im all directions. It is in this section that Mr. Roosevelt hopes to obtain most of his specimens, for {t abounds with animals of all kinds. The smaller mammals will be trapped. The supplies of the party are packed im tin-limed boxes. These boxes whea they have been emptied will be used as packing cases for the various speci- mens. Many valuable natural history specimens have been spoiled by ants and other 11 from experience on other expeditions, and it is to guard against this that the tin-lined boxes are being taken along. : Caring for Specimens. When the specimens have been pre pared they will be carefully packed in the boxes and shipped to Nairobi, where they will be forwarded to the United States. One of the taxider- mists will always be with Mr. Roose velit, and as soon as any big game is shot by him it will be skinned and prepared on the spot. Mr. Roosevelt will be greatly dis- appointed if he fails to kill several specimeas of the white rhinoceros.

Killed By Falling Limb. On Wednesday word was received in Butler thas Mrs. McLaughlin, daughter of Liss Lefever, of Butlor, wae accidentally killed at their home at Windsor, Missouri, by being caught and crushed under a falling limb from a tree. Her husband was trimming the trees in the yard and tiled a rope toa heavy Iimb, which Mrs. McLaughlin was pulling. The limb fell before she was expecting It. She was buried !n Windsor. The news was received here too late for any of the family to attend. Two neighbors in a Miasourt vil- lage were arrested for fighting and brought to court. The judge asked the aeeatlant to tell bis story: “Jedge,” he sald, “we war a-playin of seven-up, seven pints to the game, two bits on the corner. I had bin losin’ all day, Jedge, au’ I had up my last two bits. I dole the kyards. He war two and I war six. He begged mouthed-rhinoceros and is the nearest an’ Igin him one. He fling hie queen, ¢ an’I played the tray fur low. He flang his king an’ 1 played my ten. | He flang his ace an’ I played my |jack, and then, Jedge, shen he flang his deuce, an’ I hit him.” Charley Dixon recetved @ telegram on Monday that his brother, Gip |Dixon, had died at Ely, Nevada. | Charley made arrangements to have | the body shipped back to Butler for jburfal. The telegram announcing the death did not give any particu- lars and the family is wholly in the dark as to the cause of his death. Gip Dixon was born at the family home south of Butler. He is about 45 years of age. He left Butler for the west several years ago. Real Estate Transfers, WARRANTY DEEDS.
