KENTUCKY CONVENTION.

Goebel.

Adjournment of the Morning Session
Followed a Snail Sized Riot, but
No One Was Hurt.

Louisville, June 21.--The race for the
democratic nomination for governor OF
Kentucky lies between Captain w. j. Stone
and William Goebel. A combination OF the
followers of these two candidates tonight
secured the organization OF the conven-
ton in the election, after a close contest
lasting all day, of Judge David b. Red
wine OF Breathitt county, to be temporary
chairman. This morning they received all
but four of the eleven districts. This
will give them good working majority.
But there Is doubt as to Just what the
Stone Goebel combination will develop.
One assurance is that tho plan is to nom
mate Stone for Governor and give Goe-
bells friends the remaining places on the
State ticket Geohel. however, may show
sufficient strength in the convention 10 Sc
cure his nomination at the head OF the
ticket This would cause realignment OF
forces. The result OF today's work was
the elimination temporarily, at least, OF
Hardin as an important factor in the con-
yontion.

HE'S GLAD TO GET BACK
1t Was Intolerably Hot in the
East.
CAMPBELL Is BlEACHED
Trip Was the Opportunity 1t Pre-
sented to Witness All of
the Ball Games.

MissouIa, July 4.-Hugh Campbell and
family have returned from their Eastern
trip. They went to Pittsburg to consult
an oculist regarding the eyes of one of
the children, and there was never re-
turning family that was any more de-
lighted to get home than this. As far as
the boys eyes are concerned, the trip
was not of much benefit, as the oculist
decided that 1t would be best to wait for
several years before an operation is per-
formed
The heat was intolerable and Mr..
Campbell himself shows the effects of the
change in climate, as well as the chill
dren, who were seriously i'll for a large
portion of the time. Hugh himself has
beached from that peculiarly dark com
plcxion that used to disconcert the third
basemen on the opposing teams when he
was making home runs and is now
white as if he had always been blonde.
II" says that the next time he goes East
he will remain at home. There was but
one satisfaction that he found in all his
trip, and that was the baseball he wit
messed while he was in the East. He saw
all the ball there was to see, and had a
good visit with pitcher Jimmy Hughes.
who spent part of his early baseball life in
Missoula He is still telling stories of the
diamond and will have a fund of yarns
that will last him till the snow flies.

ELECTRIC STORMS.
Four of Them Swept Through the Valley
and Cleared the Air.

Missoula, July 4.-Missoula witnessed
last night succession of electric storms
that were magnificent in their grandeur
The first one swept across the lower val
ley shortly after o'clock and was fol-
lowed by three others, the last one occur
ring between and 3 o'clock this morning.
The city received but little of the water
except from the last one, but that was
the hardest rain that has been seen here
for many years. For half an hour the
rain approached cloudburst in its in
tensity and a large amount of water fell.
The lightning was brilliant and one bolt
descended to the ground just west of the
Bitter Root track, beyond the Knowles
residence. Three telephone poles were
shattered and the ground was torn up
little, but no serious damage was done.
The storms cleared the air and made the
day pleasant and comfortable.
Walter Graham made successful pho
tograph OF two discharges of lightning.
One was taken at II 80 o'clock, and 1t is
the finest photograph Of this kind ever
seen here. The forked lightning is shown
clearly and distinctly and the rift in the
clouds through which it came Is well de-
fined The picture has been much admired
to-day by the camera cranks.
