BOISE. Idaho, July ls-The Republican
state convention adjourned late this af-
ternoon after a most harmonious two
days session. There were no contests on
the floor excepting over attorney general
and mining inspector.
The following is the full text OF the
Republican platform:
The Republican party Of Idaho. in con-
vention assembled. renews it's allegiance
to the principles Of Republicanism. and
declares It's unqualified approval of the
national platform adopted at Philadelphia,
its adherence to the principles represent
cd by the official acts of William Nc
Kinley, and pledges itself to the support
Of the same.
A new and momentous situation having
arisen IN China since the meeting of the
national Republican convention. we ex-
press our utmost confidence in the ability
and purpose OF the Republican party to
settle this question. on that high plane
of craftsmanship which has character
ized every act OF the present national ad-
mlnistrafion.
We are In favor of amending the con-
stitution of the Ui,tted States so a. TO
regulate and suppress trusts. and we
denounce the action OF the Democratic
party in the present congress. who by
their votes defeated tho proposition to
submit such an amendment to the peop,~
OF the United States for their ratification.

ty and its record IN this state IL sum

maintained therein that life and property
will be protected and obedience to law en-

further resulted In them losing to the

Special Dispatch 10 the Post-1nteliigencer.
POMEROY, July 1s.-The greatest and
most disastrous are that ever occurred
in Pomeroy broke out at about o'clock
this afternoon. The fire originated from
a gasoline cigar lamp in the saloon OF e.
]. Rice Before the fire department could
reach the scene the entire front of the
structure was a solid mass OF fire, and
dense clouds Of smoke and flames oelched
forth. reaching nearly half way across
Main street.
Despite the heroic efforts OF the flrernen
who. under the able guidance of Fire Chief
Thompson. had three streams playing. on
the angry flames. the spread was rapid
and the dry wooden buildings on either
side were licked up like so many shaw
ings. c. II. Seely sustained several bruises
about the head and hips. and barely es-
capped alive by jumping from the second
floor OF his building occupied by the Pom

Stevenson were overcome by the heat.
and were carried away by friends. Mr..
Rauch was unconscious for half an hour.
and for a time his recovery seemed doubt
ful. James A. Hawley and Mr. Zinn were
considerably burned about the face and
hands.
Messrs. Hoffman 4 Benboy say they
owe their good fortune of saving their
shops to the heroic efforts of T. c. Cook,
a stranger. who stood before the building
and fought like a demon.

SPOKE TO
THE GERMANS.
Splendid Speech Of Hon. f. H.
Bohm, at Turner Hall.
\ REPUBLICAN FOR YEARS.
The Speaker Has Voted For Every Republi'
can Candidate for President Since
1885 Until Now SCORES
McKinleyism.

The address of Hon. z. H. Bohm, of
Cleveland, delivered at the Turner hall
in this city, Thursday night, was atten-
lively listened to by several hundred
citizens, who comfortably filled the
hall. There were no bands engaged.
ror was there, in fact, any demonstra-
ton preceding the meeting, as this was
not desired on the part Of the speaker,
who came here simply for the purpose
OF telling the German citizens the truth
concerning Imperialism and other po-
litical questions Of the hour.
Mr.. Bohm Is prominent citizen and
a most influential German editor, and
his address will have much weight upon
the German American citizens. Every
question of any political Importance
whatever, was discussed by the speaker.
The war policy of the administration
came in for a share of the general de-
nunciation, and the speaker related his
political experience. During his life
time he had been an ardent Republi-
can, supporting Mckinley in 1896; but
HE HAS CHANGED
his political views and will support Will
liam Jennings Bryan this year.
In eloquent language he spoke Of the
failure of the Republican 'administra-
ton to live UP to its promises made
in 1896, and declared that the war pol
ing imperialistic. He scored the pres
ident for the stand taken by him in
the Porto Rican question as well as
his action toward the Cubans and Fill
pinos.
He said the Republican party had de.
parted from Its policy and fundamen-
tai principles. He could not consci-
entiously join issue with the party, he
ssid. He explained the manner in
which his political views had been
changed, and stated his reasons there
fer. The Egan-Miles controversy came
IN for some discussion.
Mr.. Bohm was q veteran in the rebel
lion, from 81 to '65. He emerged from
the service as lieutenant. In 1856
HE CAST HIS VOTE
for Freeman, a Republican, and since
then he has voted SUCCESSFULLY for each
president, including Nc
Kinley in 1896. Prior to his change, he
was one of the leading and influential
Republicans Of cuyahoga county. and
for several years served as justice
Of the peace. His zeal had always been
eaerted in behalf Of his party, but he !,
now declares that the unwarranted de- |
parture Of his party from its principles |
was more than he could bear, and he |
changed his vows.
Mr.. Bohm founded several German
in the city Of Cleveland. |
he is man Of business as well as an |
editor and his influence among the |
Germans in that city will have serious
effect among the Republicans there
his year.
Christ volzer acted as chairman of
he meeting. and Messrs. Louis N. Ley
md William Widder served as secre-
aries.

MAD DOG SCARE.
Village of COlumbiana Was
Stirred Up Over a Canine
With the Rabies.

The village Of Columbiana was
plunged into the throes of a genuine
mad dog scare the other night. Three
men passing along the street in the
outskirts of town observed the animal,
and Its peculiar actions of Ill humor
by swapping and snarling at nothing In
particular convinced them that 1t was
mad. Several shots were fired at the
animal, but none took effect, and 1t fol-
lowed the two into town, where numer-
Gus hunting parties, armed with guns,
revolvers and clubs, were soon on the
lookout for the mad dog. Every un-
fortunate canine that could be found
was pursued and shot at, and one was
killed and several wounded. But the
mad dog was not again locatel until
the following morning, when resident
spied the animal near the spot where IL
was first seen and shot 1t dead, and the
village marshal earned good days
wages by burying the victims Of the dog
hunt.
The dog afflicted with rabies Is not
known to have bitten any living thing.
