Candidates For Vice President.

Chicago.-The opening of headquar-
ters for John Hays Hammond of
Massachusetts, Tuesday brought the
vice presidential situation to the front.
He was the first to show his candidacy
in a definite form, but coincident with
his action came the movement in be-
half of Gov. Curtis Guild of Massachu-
sets, who will be strongly urged when
the full force of the delegation from
his state arrives late in the week.
The New York candidates, tenta-
tive and otherwise, are numerous.
They are George B. Cortelyou, secre-
tary of the treasury, and Representa-
tives James S. Sherman and J. Sloat
Fassett The East also has brought
forward another possibility in the per-
son of Franklin Murphy, former gov
ernor of New Jersey and national COM
mitteeman of that state.
From the West j. p. Dolliver of
Iowa, United States senator from that
state, was the most prominently men
toned. Senator j. G.. Burrows Of
Michigan, who is to be temporary
chairman of the convention, and Lieut..
Gov. Sherman of Illinois, also found
supporters among the politicians.

Denver Man Dies in. Honduras.

Denver.-Just as the Honduras ba-
mana plantation he had toiled over
for three years was about to COM
mence producing, DR.. A. A. Clough.
formerly health commissioner of Den
yer, was overtaken by death, accord
ing to a cablegram received in Denver
Saturday by DIR. X. w. Arndt. The
message contained no details beyond
the fact that the doctor died May 30th,
but from letter written from Hon
duras May 23rd, in which it was
stated that DR.. Clough was about to
start on trip to the interior, it is
thought that he must have met with
an accident. Mrs. Clough and Dr..
Clough's father were with him in Hon

him on his trip.

tested cases will be put before the Re
publican national committee by the al

be seated by the committee, the mana

Mistake Profits Western States.

hington.-Through inadvertence
the Western states containing forest
reserves will receive twenty-five per
cent. Of the receipts for the sale of
timber, rental of forest grazing lands,
concessions and leases for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1908, instead of
the ten per cent which they were ex-
pected to receive under the agricultur-
al appropriation act passed at the
second session of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress. This increase to the states for
the year 1908 was one outcome of the
fight made against the forest service
policy by certain Western Senators
notably Hepburn of Idaho, Teller of
Colorado, Carter of Montana, and
Clark of Wyoming.
During the controversy in the Sen
ate on the subject, an amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill was
proposed, providing that twenty-five
per cent. of the money received from
each forest reserve should be expend-
ed as the state or territory in which
such forest reserve was located might
prescribe. In drafting the amendment,
the language of the prior act was used,
which read, Including the year end
ing June 30, 1905" and the amend
ment as thus framed was adopted.
AS the receipts for the current fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1908, will
be about $4,000 900, the western states
will receive 100000 for the use of
schools, improvement of roads.
bridges, etc, instead of 100000, as
was expected.

Accident to Midland Engineer.

Colorado Springs.-Eldridge Wal
dron of Colorado City, a Colorado Mid
land engineer, was found unconscious
and apparently lifeless. hanging half
way out of the window of his cab. by
Fireman Baker at 6 o'clock Saturday
morning, just as the eastbound train
started into tunnel No. Z, a few miles
west of Manitou. Surgeons here oper-
ated on Waldron, finding a piece of
rock pushing the bone of the skull
against the brain. The crushed bone
and stone were extracted and hopes
are entertained for his recovery. 1t
is thought that Waldron stuck his head
out Of the cab while passing through
a tunnel and was struck by project
ing rock.

Peruna Is NOT a nervine nor a

Peruna frees the stomach of ca
tarrhal congestions and normal diges-

bottom of the whole difficulty, when
the disagreeable symptoms disappear.

PEOPLE DRIVEN FROM THEIR
HOMES AND BUILDINGS
CARRIED AWAY.
COVERS MAIN STREET
RAILWAY TRACKS UNDER WATER
AND TRAINS STOP
RUNNING.

Topeka.-North Topeka is practical
ly deserted tonight (Monday). Boat
patrols were busy all afternoon taking
those people from their homes who
had delayed. Much of the contents
of the houses has been moved and
warning has been given to everybody.
The water is deeper in the streets
than at any time since the big flood
of 1908. From the Union Pacific
tracks to Soldier creek, Kansas ave-
nue., the main street, is all under wa
ter.
The current is beginning to sweep
away outbuildings and thousands of
ties from the Union Pacific tie plant
are pounding their way through the
town.
The crest of the rise in the Kansas
river is expected to reach here some
time tonight. The government weather
bureau says the water will reach
maximum height of about twenty Eight
feet. At o'clock tonight it registered
26.9 feet.
If the raise exceeds two feet above
the present level the city water works
will be in danger.
Train service is practically at
standstill. No trains are being run by
The Rock Island or Union Pacific out of
| here. The Santa Fe track between
here and Lawrence and the approach
to the bridge at Silver Lake is out.
Just west of Topeka the Union Pa
cific tracks are under water.
The further rise predicted will put
the water well up into nearly all of the
North Topeka houses.

Grants Application Refused.

st. Louisa document has been I'M
covered in the office of City Register
Regan which shows that Gen. U. s.
Grant in 1859 applied to the city of st.
Louis for a position as county engi-
neer, and was refused the place. That
General Grant did not get the position
which he asked for is shown by the
failure Of his name to appear in the
county roster of that date. At that
time the position of county engineer
was poor pay and its principal duties
dealt with the construction Of county
bridges and similar work.

No Freight Rate Increase.

Washington.-No general increase in
freight rates is likely to be made by
the railroads of the country in the near
future If it is to be made at ALL Ger
tainly nothing will be done before au-
tumn, and it is not likely that any
thing approaching a general Increase
will be attempted then. At a recent
meeting of presidents and operating Of
ficials Of important railroads, held in
New York, 1t was the consensus of
opinion that 1t would be undesirable, II
not absolutely impracticable to put
into effect at this time an increase Of
freight rates.
