 Reasons for Change.
 His remarks have a larger applica- tion than he made of them that day, and if A party in state will get in a posi- tion where change Is necessary, or even desirable, I want to say to you that when you apply it to national party the reason
 for change is still greater, for the farther many office-holders get away from
 home the more apt they are to forget
 the people, and these republicans in na- tionas office have been serving far away from home and they have forgotten the struggling masses at home.

An offended people must "mow down thorns that would annoy our feet"
 The Strikes Collapse.
 But really now 1t does appear that the coal miners strike has collapsed. No matter wh ether the president of the union does or does not formally call off the useless struggle every evidence Is before us that the strike Is gasping its last breath. The fact Is cheering to those who love peace and law and or der; and now

 Campaign Publicity.
 Mr Bryan then discussed the publicity of the campaign contribution plank con- tained in the democratic platform, saying that the contributions from the great favor seeking corporations had been used to put into power people who when in power were obligated and mortgaged to the men who helped to elect them.
 ''There are men in this audience today" he said, "who have learned within five years that the money they were paying to insurance companies was in part given to the republican campaign fund to help carry elections"
 Mr. Bryan also said that the present rules of the House of Representatives destroy the opportunity of the people con trolling their own government and charged that they had converted that pop ular branch of the government into a despotsm He also discussed the tariff and trust questions, outlining his reme- dies in the Des Moines and Indianapolis speeches.

SOUTH CAROLINA LOSES
 ENORMOUSLY BY FLOODS

AS hours prior to a. m. today. At Columbia the Congaree river registered 31 feet at midnight, the high est record ed since the flood of 1S42. The sta tions north of Columbia reporting to the Columbia weather bureau report ed at 8 a. m. from to inches of rain fall for the preceding 24 hours. Rain continued today. A dispatch from An derson says that the flood damage will amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars and no train service expected for lhe next 70 days
 Capt J. D. Griffith, superintendent of the state penitentiary, estimates the damage on the state farm at $40,000
 dispatch from Ca,nden says:
 "Ihe crops along the rivers and creeks in that section are total loss and untold damage has been done to tue corn and cotton crops on the uplands. It Is now practically certain that five rersons were drowned yesterday after noon wh en the toll bridge across the Wateree river went down, MT. George Rabon and his son and three negro wo. men. Several teams were also lost at the same time. Two more negroes were rescued near Camden today from rerilous positions after remaining in the midst of the flood in trees all night. MT. William Depass, who succeeded yesterday in getting AS of his horses to a place of apparent safety, received in . formation late this afternoon that all but nine of the animals had been drowned.

Columbia, $. C., August 26.-Reports re- ceived from all sections of the state in- dicate that the present flood is the most damaging ever recorded in South Caro- lima The flooded area covers practically the entire state, and at many points the rivers are from two to six feet higher than ever known, not excepting the great floods of 1S42, 1886 and 1903 The railroads are operating very few trains and no effort is made to maintain schedules on any line in the state. The telegraph and telephone service is badly crippled and many places in the state are isolated.
 More than a dozen toll and public bridges crossing the larger rivers in the state have been swept away and at least two steel railroad bridges have gone down. Many of the dams along the rivers, erected for the protection of the fertile bottom lands, have been swept away and the large corn crops along the different streams are a total loss.
 The total loss of life thus far reported is five.
 It is impossible to estimate the dam age to the farming interests through out the state but it will run into the mil lions. It Is estimated that the damage to the cotton crop alone is ten times greater than the total loss of property resulting from the great flood of 1903 in this state. The rainfall during the past two days is the highest ever re- corded in this section, IS inches of rain having fallen at Greenville within the

The following by the Associated Press was received at 1 :45 this morning:
 Indianapolis, August 26.-President Lewis, upon arriving here tonight, re- ceived word that Alabama newspapers have been quoting him as saying he had said the strike in that district would be declared off in a few days. This state ment, MT Lewis says, is untrue. He said d:
 ''The report published in Alabama news papers is not correct, for the reason that l have made no statement, publicly or otherwise, with reference to the miners strike in the state of Alabama After a conference with Vice President White telegraphed to the president of the Ala bama Operators association asking if he would agree to a conference, and to this telegram we received an unsatisfactory reply. The Mine Workers representa- tives, after a request of citizens of the Birmingham district, offered to arbtrate the question in dispute in Alabama, and the operators positively refused to con- slider arbitration in any form.''

fulton SCORES
FRANCES HENEY

PORTLAND, Ore, April 16.-Sen-
ator Fulton, following the same argu-
ments as those of Heney's detractors
in California, replied vigorously to
Heney's attacks upon him before a
large audience in the Armory to-
night.
When l saw Heney's interview,
said Senator Fulton, lin the papers
attacking me, addressed an open
letter to him in which said that his
statements were absolutely false;
that he had no evidence on which to
base them and that l demanded that
he place. before the people of Oregon
the facts upon which he based the
statements or stand branded before
the people of this State by me as a
willful, malicious and deliberate liar.
These detractors of mine have
gone down into the sewers to de-
fame me. l had a right to expect
that the contest for the nomination
should be along clean lines,
but no, my character has been as
saulted by a little political cabal to
carry out it's own ends for bringing
about my political humiliation
"A little band of conspirators, OF
which Heney is the head, have scour-
ed the State searching for things to
discredit me"
Fulton charged Heney with double
motives in attacking him and init
mated that Heney's hurried depart
ure from Portland tonight was in
order to escape meeting him and an
swering him in public.

TIERS LOOKS OVER GOLDEN
ARROW DISTRICT.

Captain Cotter, who has Just re-
turned from the Golden Arrow dis
trict. reports that while there he met
an engineer representing the smelt-
ing interests of the Ely district. Cap
tain Cotter accompanied the engineer
while the latter sampled the proper
ties of the Cotter Mines Company
and the other mining interests in the
district. in regard to the possible ton
mage of the camp. The engineer ex-
pressed himself as being highly
pleased with the possibilities of the
camp. In addition to Golden Arrow
he had visited Silver Bow and Cliff,
ford, Horseshoe and Bellehelen.
where he made the same thorough
examination, taking samples and
data and making chemical analyses
in order to determine the values as a
fiuxing commodity He also visited
the ReveilIe mill, and tomorrow will
visit Reveille to examine that camp.
1t is assumed that the object of the
engineers visit is to gain an idea of
the mineral tonnage of the various
camps for the proposed new railroad

GOOD PROPERTIES
IN REESE RIVER
Especial to the Bonanza.)
WIDELY UNPARALLELED ZONE
FROM WHICH GOOD RE-
SUITS ARE OBTAINED.


BOWLERS RANCH, Reese River,
April 10.-With the opening Of
spring. matters from a mining stand
point are livening up. The mineral
belt of this district, as far as has
been prospected, is about ~ miles
long by approximately one mile wide.
There are some remarkably good
prospects, on which has been opened
good ore. This camp was discovered
in 1906 by G. j. Sieloff, who subse-
quently sold group of six claims
to Messrs. Riggs & Gordon of Man
haitian and Goldfield, respectively.
They developed their property by a
shaft and two drifts, all in good
milling ore. with about ten tons Of
very high grade ore, which they
sacked, but have yet on the ground
to be disposed of. They have had
assays of $1,000 from this ore. G..
A. Richardson has a ledge on the
south extension of the above named
property that is about three feet wide
| in the face of tunnel, that gives an
average assay of SOS, values in gold
predominating. James Fahy has two
claims on the same ledge with similar
assays. There are number of other
claims adjoining, or in the vicinity,
and on the same hill, all of which
have good lodges of gold bearing
quartz, and pan we'll, but are I'M
| developed.
| This is all at Bonita. The hills are
covered with nut pine for fuel, and
kthere are living streams of water in
a number of canyons that would be
ample for milling purposes. and will
be used as such when the attention
of capitalists and mining men is
drawn to this camp.
At Ulaine, which is one and hall
miles north of Bonita. there are some
very fine showings. On the Arthur
w. claim there are nine leasers al
work taking out ore that runs from
| 5000 to $3.50, with rich streak thai
carries values from $122S to $270O
The Extennate, adjoining the Arthur
j W.. has even better surface show
ing than the Arthur w. Across Bar
rett canyon on the south of thes,
claims is the Bonita Queen group, Oh
very large ledge, from Is to q
feet in width, which gives assays o
from $40 mp, and considerably NOR,
nj places.
Going north from Ulaine three
quarters of a mile, is Becker canyon
which camp has nine men working
in two tunnels. Tom Maher made
strike on claim In that canyon las
Monday that gives hundred dollars
The ledge where he got these assay
is little over FIVE feet in width, bu
seems to widen out to ten or twelv,
!, feet. judging from the groupings a
] 1t goes up the hill. Maher and hi
partners also have claim just acros
the canyon from this one, that i
opened by a tunnel that discloses !
, ledge "a feet wide that goes $40 I,
$24 to the ton. 1t is big milling
proposition.
This camp has never been boone
. or exploited. but it certainly has tn
! merit. and is simply awaiting tn
opportunity for development.
