Most Pleasant and Profitable
Day was Spent.

Nature was very kind TO the
North Fork in the matter OF
weather for the Fourth. A more
pleasant day could not have been
made for the occasion until about
FIVE O. clock, when a slight shower
came up but even this was apPre-

accident of any sort came to mar
the pleasure OF the occasion.
The real celebration com

from Somerset, bringing their
band which had been engaged
for the event Paonia's band
was also on hand and both did
much to add to the pleasure of
the day
The parade was good sized
one and the orders were out in
force. The Redmen and order
OF Pocahontas were in full regi-
mentals and made sight that
will not be forgotten in many
days. 1t looked as il the Indians
had actually taken charge OF the
town.
The w. O. w. had a very fine
float that attracted much atten-

After the parade the crowd
assembled at the beautifully dec
grated grand stand and listened
to a splendid Grafton from X.
Hester, pastor OF the Christian
Church, which we are permitted
to print in this issue.
The programme of sports was
then attacked and every moment
was filed with something pleasing
and exciting. The crowd pres
ent was in a genuine good humor
and everything passed oft most
pleasantly.
James Walker, as marshal of
the day had little trouble in keep
ing things in order, while the
regular city marshal had no
duties to perform.
The dance in the evening was
very literally attended and the
Redmcn treasury was consider
ably augmented by the receipts,
Here again the best of order pre-
vailed. All told it was one of the
very best big gatherings that the
town ever had. The stores and
other business houses were gener-

ANTI BRYAN JOE CANNON
Is Enthusiastically En-
dorsed by illinois
Republicans

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 2l--Before the
Republican state convention met here
today it was conceded that Speaker
Cannon would receive an emphatic en-
dorsement as the Republican presiden-
tial for 1908, and that Senator Cullom
would be endorsed for reelection.
State Senator c. f. Berry, tempo
rary chairman, in his speech said that
the doctrines advocated by the Bry-
ans, the Johnsons and the Hearsts,
show manifest drift to socialism,
and mean, if carried to a successful
as advocated, nothing less
than revolution"
The boom of Speaker Cannon for
the presidency was announced when a
plank in the platform asking the sis

Forces Seem to Control
Democratic Con-
vention

Peoria, III, Aug 2l-The Demo-
cratic state convention met here to-
day. The convention is more of a
fight for the control Of the state
machinery between the faction head
ed by National Committeeman Roger
G. Sullivan and the immediate friends
Of William ;. Bryan than a contest
for Offices.
Before the convention met Sullivan
claimed that he controlled l, 400 out of
1861 delegates. Judge Thompson
and Congressman Rainey, the B-yan
leaders, while giving no figures, assert
that they control the situation. The
indications are for long, hard fight.
Judge Boggs was made temporary
chairman by an overwhelming vote,
Rainey selected by the
anti-Sullivanites, asking his friends
to vote for Boggs. In his speech
Judge Boggs said he hoped the corr
vention would endorse Bryan, that
great commoner." Loud applause. J

Santiago, Aug. 2l.-All reports
from Valparaiso agree in saying that
the Alnedral and southern districts
Of the city suffered most severely from
the earthquake According to some
reports, Valparaiso may be said to
have been totally destroyed, it being
asserted that all houses still standing
must be razed.
The uncertainty as to whatsis occur
ring elsewhere in Chile, and the al
most complete isolation Of Santiago,
combined with the continuing shocks,
are terribly trying and render the
situation almost desperate.
A dispatch from Limache says that
a hundred bodies remain unburied
there. The villages Of San Francisco
and Limache we're totally destroyed,
including hospitals, churches and
public buildings One traveller from
Valparaiso today says that more than
300 persons we're killed in that part Of
Valparaiso known as the port and 500
injured in that district.

Number Of Cases Yester-
day in Court

Judge Gill yesterday disposed Of a

Commercial Club Committee
viii Probably Meet SEN
atOrs Here

K. M. Tarlton, who represented the
Vinita Commercial Club at the con-
yention of the Associated Commercial
clubs Of the territory in Muskogee
last week, successfully opposed a reso-
luton intended TO concentrate In Mus
kogee the commercial club interests
Of the territory on the visit OF the
senatorial investigating committee in
November.
The clubs intend to present their
views to tine senator's, and make con-
centrated, energetic movement to
secure the removal Of the restrictions
at the coming session Of congress.
Some one moved that representatives
OF all the clubs meet in Muskogee and
interview the committee there. Mr..
Tarlton pointed out the fact that the
committee would be in Muskogee no
longer than in Vinita, and that It
would be in the latter place first. He
urged that the committee should be
met by the CLUBS representatives inn
mediately after their entry into the
territory, at Vinita
The resolution providing for the
meeting in Muskogee was defeated,
and, while Vinita was not definitely
decided upon, il is the understanding
that the representatives Of the clubs

CANDIDATES FOR
DELEGATE MODEST
Only One AvOwed Candidate, and He a
Democrat Several Good Repub-
Iicans Are Suggested.

The constitutional delegate districts
having been established and the date
Of the election having been set, it is
now high time for the candidates to
be entering the field. So far, how
ever, there has not been the interest
manifested in Vinlua in this election
that the Importance Of the event
justifes Very few candidates have
presented themselves.
In the Democratic ranks there is
one afowed aspirant, William P.
Thompson, and one who Is perfectly
willing for the lightning to strike
him, w. II. Kornegay MI. Thomp-
son was one Of the original SeQuoyah
boomers. 1t Is generally believed
that he has behind him the support
Of the Hill-Bunington machine, and
his nomination is thought to have
been decided upon by that element
It is possible, however, that Mr..
Kornegay may be the nominee While
earnestly discaiming any intention Of
becoming candidate for the nomina-
tion, he says he will not decline it if
is offered His interest in all dis
cnssions Of the probable provisions Of
the constitution IS sufficient proof Of
his desire for the nomination. He
has made an exhaustive study of
the conditions confronting the new
state. But he has not as good a
standing with the local machine as
has Mr.. Thompson, and that may
initiate against him.
There has yet been no announced
candidate among the Republicans. 1t
looks as If draft would have it made,
Among those who have been mention
ed for the honor are e. M. Probasco,
r. II. Smith, G. N. Bebout, O. L.
Rider, w. II. Darrough, Judge L. r.
Parker, Jr., G. B. Rogers, Rev. j. u.
Pershng, all Of Vinita, and Dr. r. /.
Allen Of Centralia. Any one OF these
would make good delegate, and
all have their friends. Most of them,
however, would prefer not to have
the nomination.
Mr.. Darrough, Judge Parker and
Mr.. Rider could not 90 without re-
signing their present positions, and
this they will hardly be likely to do.
Mr.. Probasco, though he has been
strongly urged, says he could hardly
afford to make the sacrifice. Messrs
Smith and Bebout make practically
the same answer. DR.. Allen of Gem
tralia, it is understood, would not OBJ
ject to going, and the doctor has many
friends up in his neighborhood. lleisI
strong man.
G. b. Rogers is another good Repub-
lican, who has made a close st dy OF
constitutional questions, and who has
numerous friends who are urging him
to enter the race.
OF late there has been considerable
talk of Rev. j. E. Pershing, who is
away on his vacation at present. His
friends say that il he would consent
to the use of his name he would make
an ideal candidate.
The time for making the nomina-
tions is not far distant, however, and
the candidates will therefore soon be
before the people. The latter, it is
believed, have been studying condi- |
tions pretty carefully, and will be in
clined to vote for the best man, re-
gardless Of his politics. It therefore |
behooyes the Republicans to put up

nounced the appointment of former
Governor Montague as one Of the
two Southern delegates to the Pan
American Conference to be held in

nor Montague is personal selec-
tion Of the President, who regards

ference is to create closer trade
relations between the republics of
South America and the United

Panama canal will open up new
channels of tire de. and it is expected
that the commerce between the
Cuff and South Atlantic ports and
those of South America will be
materially increased.
