Will Hold One Convention.

The republican state central commit
tee at its meeting held in Huron on the
Goth, decided to hold one convention
and named Sioux Falls as the place and
May % as the time. An effort was
made to have two conventions, one to
name eight delegates to the national
convention and one for nominating can
didates for representatives in congress
and state officers. Several stirring
speeches were made, but the one pro-
position prevailed. The representation
is one delegate for each forty votes cast
for Phillips for governor and two dele
gates at large from each county, making
total of about l,l00.

CAPE NOME CROWDED.


A letter recently received at Dead
wood frsm William Poerpabel from
Cape Nome states that there is practic-
ally no more ground in the district un-
staked. All of the claims that have any
indication of bearing gold have been
taken either by men on the ground or
are held by power of attorneys. There
is not enough water in the district to
make sluicing of the gravel possible and
the rocker has to be used. The letter
advises all Black Hills people to stay
away. The country will be overdone
just as the Klondike was through the
transportation companies and other
companies. which are interested in get
ting crowd to enter the country irres-
pectiye of the result. Mr.. Poerpabel
states that he has been all over the ST..
befian coast. not far from Cape Nome,
and he believes that this district will be
fully as rich in gold az Nome, and as
soon as permission can be obtained from
the Russian government there will be q
rush to the new district.

ANOTHER CALAMITY TO
PEOPLE OF TEX As.
Unprecedented Floods In All the
Great Rivers, SubmerglDg
Vast Territory.


Sayers wired tonight to all points
south of here warning notices
that the most terrific flood in the
history of the Colorado river,
which flows by this city, is now
surging down through the noun
tain gorges to the northwest OF
here and is expected at this pla, 9
at midnight. The warning was
sent out by Gov. Sayers in re
sponse to the following telegraph
ic warning:
Goldthwaite, Sept. "a.
To GCv. Sayors:
Notify all towns on Colorado
river and have towns notify
country points that river is ten
feet higher than ever before
known and is still rapidly rising.
Very urgent.
Phil II. Clements,
State Representative.
The river has been rising very
fast at Austin since 4 o'clock
this afternoon and reports from
Goldthwaite at s O'Clock tonight
say that water is still rapid.
rising there. The rise at that
point was reported to be So feet
at dark. Along the Colorado wa
ter sheds very heavy rains have
fallen during the past four days
and the rise reported coming
down now is 20 feet higher than
the one that broke the Austin
dam and wrecked the city's light
and power plant last April. 1t is
expected that the advance of this
great rise will sweep by Austin
about midnight and all parties in
the lowlands to the south of the
city and all points reached by
either telegraph Cr telephone
were communicated with by the
governor with the warning to
escape before the flood arrives.
Great alarm is felt as to the re
suit of the rise.
Dallas, Tex, Sept. 24.-The
Trinity river is higher today than
it has been sence 1890, when il
broke all records. The water to.
night lacks only six feet Of
reaching the 1890 mark and is
still rising. Owing to heavy rains
last night and yesterday on the
Elm Fork, the West Fork and
the Clear Fork all of them emp.
tying into the Trinity river above
Dallas, the prospect is for the
stream going past the 1890 mark
sometime tonight. No lives have
been lost in the immediate vicin.
ity of Dallas, but cotton and live
stock, notably sheep and hogs,
have suffered heavily. The coun-
ty commissioners of Dallas county
met today. They estimated the
less on county bridges at $25, 900,
Independent of the numerous
small bridges and the street dam
ages in the county of Dallas
which will be nearly as much.
The item of damage to roads and
bridges alone in the dozen or
more counties affected in north
ern Texas will be $250,000.
A bulletin received here this
afternoon from Fowler, in Bosque
county, says "Brazos river out
of its banks, higher than in 70
years and going higher. Big rise
will reach Waco tonight"
Fowler is so miles north Of
