WILL MAKE POSITION CLEAR.
President Will Convince People He
Wants Third Term.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2S.-There is
very strong impression in Washing
ton though not officially confirmed
that the president in at least one of his
western speeches will allude to the
third term movement. 1t is as gen
orally believed that his remarks on this
subject will remove all possible doubt
as to his sincerity when he declared
on the night of his election that he
will not accept another nOmina ion
Any such declaration will probably pur
stop to third term talk and will SIM
ultaneously boost Taft stock
Color is given this rumor by the rs-
marks of Senator McCumber, who saw
the president today. Mr.. McCumber
has heretofore been demanding Mr..
ROOsevelt's denomination. When he left
the White House, he said that North
Dakota wants Mr.. Roosevelt to retract
his former declaration but, if he would
support the candidate most intimately
identified with Mr.. RoOsevelts policies.
Heretofore Mr. McCumber has had no
second choice.

ASK FOR DIVORCE FROM! MAY
TRIED TO TAKE WIFE OUT OF SA-
LOON BUT GOT BROKEN
HEAD.

May Fiefield. the notorious female
character whose escapades in Walla
Walla on several occasions were the
cause of many lively scenes in the po-
lice office has again been Unexpectedly
thrown in the lime light.
The years of debauchery through
which May thrived and prospered, and
the many little incidents which oc-
CURED during her residence in Wal
la Walla, have not been forgotten by
the police officials, and yesterday
when c. A. Rogers filed suit for divorce
against his wife, May D. Rogers, the
boys in blue looked wise and held
long, yet silent conversations with
themselves.
The divorce suit in question, is one
of exceedingly peculiar nature, yet
the statements made by the plaintiff
are not surprising in view Of the fact
that Mays career was doubly peculiar.
In his complaint, Rogers makes the
following statement, which he con-
tends is sufficient ground for cause of
action:
Il was married to my wife near
Prescott in Walla Walla county dur
ing the month of December, 1902. In
August, the following year, she de-
serted me and from that time on We
have continued to live separately.
"She treated me most cruelty on
many occasions. and has been in the
county Jail three times to my own
personal knowledge. She was put in
once when the police found her in
company with the negro soldiers. AZ
her fathers request, l attempted to
get her out of the Headquarters sa-
loon, but 1 got a broken head instead.
and had to be carried out of the place"

MethOdistS Dismiss Former
Rainier Pastor

PORTLAND, Sept 2S.-Amid pray
ars aid eXhortations, Rev. H. G. Kemp
formerly pastor of the Methodist Epis-
copal church at Rainier, Oregon, was
cried out of the Methodist church to-
charge of unministerial conduct pre-
ferrad by the committee having the
subject in charge.
Rev Kemp's record as a minister
was investigated by the conference
and The charges against him sustained
by the committee.
The feature of the day was the
address of Bishop David Moore who
gave an eloquent talk to the ministers
in regard to their attitude towards
the present theatrical methods en-
ployed by some preachers. He declared
that he hopes the day may never come
when Methodist ministers act and ad-
vertise as if they were head liners in
a dramatic troupe A minister should
secure congregations by the earnest
hess and able handling of his flock.
He also announced he would stay in
Oregon during the month of October
and help raise funds for the Salem
theological college. Eighty thou
sand dollars were raised last night
and they expect to make it 100000.
The conference allowed the Swedish
American Methodist churches a voice
in the conference hereafter The next
conference will be held in Salem. Coos
Bay and Marshfield also invited the
confer ance but hey failed to land the
attraction.

WHAT OCTOBER HAS FOR US

With the past q years as a stand

The mean temperature for the month

which it set in 1901. The coldest Oct
'ooer in q years was in 1905, with an
average temperature of 4S. The
Warmest October day on record was
on the first day of that month in 1904,
when the mercury went up to 81, and
the coolest was in 1905, the 10th, and
October "a 1887, when the thermometer
dropped to "a
