EXTRA SESSION ON AUGUST 81.
Called by Gov. Cummins to Amend
Primary Law.

Primary Law.
Des Moines.-A programme cover
Ing the determination OF the Allison
senatorial succession at primary
election was formulated by the re-
publican leaders Of Iowa in confer
ence in Des Moines on the 25th.
Governor Cummins called an extra
session of the legislature to convene
Monday, Aug. 81, to amend the prl-
mary law so as to permit the repub'
licans to nominate senator in pri'
mary to be held at the general cleo
ton of Nov. 3.
In his statement Of his decision to
call the session for this purpose, the
governor declared that he would sup.
port the most rigorous provision for
the exclusion of democrats from the
republican senatorial primary.
Senator Dolliver proposed that the
amendment include a provision that
the names of the candidates for SEN
ator be put on the official ballot and
only the ballots of those who vote for
the straight republican ticket be
counted as to senator.
The proposition was submitted to
the congressman, to the congressional
candidates, to conference OF the
standpatters and to friends of Gov
ernor Cummins.
All agreed with the idea. and the
state committee unanimously indors-
ed the programme in resolution
adopted without dissenting vote, after
the conference of the afternoon, as
follows:
The state committee of Iowa, in
meeting assembled, congratulate the
republicans of the state over the har-
monious result of the conference and
express the belief that the special
session in putting the question up to
the people is the wisest and most rea-
sonable method Of bringing about har-
mony in Iowa; and with this question
settled the committee can now put
their united efforts toward electing
the republican ticket of the state.
Whether the short term succession
will be taken up remains to be seen
next week when the legislature meets.
The understanding was that the
legislature would meet Monday and
perhaps pass the proposed law in
few days and adjourn without doing
other business. However, provision
may be offered replacing the circle on
the ballot.

After the entombed miners had
gone down in the cage a fire broke
out, occasioned by the ignition OF a
barrel of oil which a miner was try
ing to divide. The flames spread at
once to the hosting shaft and the air
shaft, and all communication with the
top was cut off. Hundreds of miners
rushed to the scene and tried to get
into the air shaft, but this was impos-
sible, as flames and smoke We're COM

them back. Then an effort was made
to operate the cages running up and
down the hosting shaft, but it was
found that the cages, the cables and
the guides had been burned. There
was absolutely no help for the impris-
Oned miners.

Darino Work of Lone Bandit,

Lake Hotel, Yellowstone Park.
Wyo.-The most daring stage hold
up in the west in many years occurred
Monday within the boundaries of the
Yellowstone park. The work was done
by a lone highwayman, who held up
II coaches, and the passengers were
absolutely helpless in his hands, as
no guns are permitted in the park.
From the statements of passengers it
is estimated that approximately $4,000
in cash was obtained, drafts WORTH
$4,000 and other paper and transpor-
tation, besides a rich haul of watches
and jewelry. In all 81 coaches left
the upper geyser basin in the morning.
The highwayman was encountered
about five miles further on at lonely
point along the banks of Spring

Reason Why Des Moines Recruiting

Des Moines.-"The recruiting sta.
ton at Des Moines doesn't pay; Iowa
is too prosperous"
This is the way Major General
Ainsworth adjutant general of the
army, summed up the reasons why
the recruiting station at Des Moines
has been ordered closed. General
Ainsworth explained that few recruits
were being enlisted at Des Moines.
The Davenport station was closed re-
Gently for the same reasons. Aban-
donment of the Des Moines station
means that such subsidiary stations
as have been established in the state
are also to be closed In the east,
where there are more men out of
work, many have enlisted. So far
as Iowa is concerned, this being
probably as prosperous as any state
in the union, recruits have not in
creased despite all efforts. So it
was decided to abandon the stations.
Such men as want to enlist can en-

him that army men are deeply in
sympathy with his sons, and eager to
aid in getting them out Of their
predicament. The fund, which was
started last week, already, according

more than 100000. 1t is doubtful If
anything approaching the 100000
will be required for the defense, but
the army men have set that sum to
be raised.
