FOR ELECTION
or SENATOR
Special Session of Iowa Leg
iSlature Probable.
CUMMINS MAY WIN OUT

Assembly as Now Constituted Said to
Be Dominated by progressive" Re-
pubIicans-Gossip From Des Moines
Shows a Bitter FactionaI Feeling
That Threatens to Endanger the
Partys Success in Coming Election.
Des Moines, Aug. Iowa was de-
clared to be in state of mourning
for the late William b. Allison by
Governor A B. Cummins. The gov
ernor and other state officials will go
to Dubuque Saturday to attend the
funeral
1t is believed that the governor will
soon call special session of the leg
isIature and his chances of being
chosen successor to the late Senator
Allison will be bright, as the assem-
bly, is dominated by progressive" Re-
publicans. The session, if called, will
probably meet in October.
The radical Cummins men declare
that it depends on the attitude of the
standpatters whether the state shall
be the scene of a bitter contest, insist
ing that if they cease fighting Cum
minis and concede his election to the
senate there will be no trouble this
year. They say it is
Now the Governors Turn
and that the time has come for the
cessation of the fight against him
which has characterized the politics
of Iowa for the last seven or eight
years. They point out that nearly
half of the voters of the party en-
dorsed the governor for senator as
against Allison. They declare that
further opposition to him for the sen.
atorship will be disastrous to the
party al the fall election. Some OF
these radicals say it endangers the
legislative ticket and others insist
that the danger may include the whole
ticket.
On the other hand is the extremely
radical standpatter, who insists that
it is the duty of Governor Cummins
not to be candidate for the success
sion for the reason that it will en-
danger the success of the Republican
ticket from top to bottom. They say
that in some of the districts, even be-
fore the death of Senator Allison, rad
ical standpatters were demanding OF
legislative candidates that they pledge
themselves in writing never to vote
for Cummins for senator. With this
situation these extreme standpatters
insist that the state may so Demo
cratic unless CGmmins gives up the
idea of going to the senate.

But Three Residents of That City Sue
cumb to the Heat.

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Despite a decid-
ed change for the better in weather
conditions here, three more residents
died as the result of heat prostrations.
Early in the day the humidity was
high and the temperature increased
steadily until after 1 o'clock. Then
a shift in the wind sent the humidity
mark down to 80 per cent and also
halted the increase in the heat wave.
The i'll effects of the previous days
heat was still apparent in the tene--
ment districts, where the mortality
rate among infants has become alb
normally high. Because of the in
creased use of water on park and
private lawns the water supply in
some residence sections has dwindled.

British Columbia Fires Still
Raging in Timber.
DEATH LIST NOT SO LARGE
Loss of Life Now Placed at Thirty
eight and the Property Damage Be-
tween Five and Six MiIlions-Refu-
gees Are Returning to Fernie and
the Work of Rebuilding the Stricken
Town Has Begun.


Vancouver, B. c., Aug. THE de-
structive forest fires in the Elk River
valley have now burned past the re.
gion of the towns.
Michel, Hosmer and Cranbrook are
now out of the danger zone.
The flames are still devastating the
timber region of the valley beyond
the settlements. These bush fires
may last month, or until rain falls.
The total loss of life in the burned
area is now placed at thirty-eight and
the property damage is estimated al
between $5,0O0,O0O and $6,OOO,O 900.
The women and children who were
taken from Fernie and placed among
the adjacent towns of Frank, Blair.
more and Nelson are still in these
places of refuge, but the men are
back at Fernie and have begun the
work of rebuilding the town.
Tents and supplies of food and
clothing have been received at Fernie
from many places and the people are
working strenuously. Nurses and
physicians are having a busy time
looking after the injured and taking
precautions to prevent pestilence.
There are now two cases of small
pox in Fernie.
The Fernie disaster has struck a
hard blow to the mining and smelling
industry of British Columbia.
The big smelters of the boundary
district, employing 1000 men, receive
the bulk of their coke supplies from
the coke ovens and mines of the Elko
River valley and as all collieries in
that section are in such condition that
it will require months to put them
back in a position to supply coal in
any quantity the smelters will be
forced to curtail their operations and
in some cases to shut down. This
would throw several thousand men
out of employment in the mines of
the interior.

to accomplish what the malls fail to
do, to make connection.
A case occurred here last week in
which a man came near losing his
home through bad mail service. He
sent money from Long Creek to Can
yon City to pay delinquent taxes. 1t
took IL days for the letter to go that
distance. In the meantime a friend
was sent to the county seat to look
into the matter and save the property
from a sheriff's sale.
The Long Creek-Ukiah mail bag
has had two big holes In II for long
time and no lock or key is used with
this bag. A marriage license sent to
Dale was never received and the cou-
pie had five days OF annoyance and
a 2S-mile trip to make through some
body's blunder.
Letters and papers from Canyon
City frequently go around by Pendle-
ton and Heppner and are a week old
when they arrive here. We are told
that some postmasters do not deliver
papers sent to their offices. The ed
itor of this paper was visiting
friend not long ago where a package
of sugar came from the postoffice in
that community with a neighbor's
Ranger wrapped around 1t. Since
then that neighbor has requested that
his paper be discontinued.

that company will handle all express
business on the new line.
Express matter will be carried In
separate compartments In passenger
cars for a time and the service will
be as frequent as the business war
rants. 1t is likely that separate ex-

coming summer and that at least
three cars will be operated over the
line in each direction daily. For the
prompt handling of this business, the
Wells Fargo company will establish a

DANGER OF CATARRH.
Unless Properly Treated With Hyo-
mef, Becomes Serious.

Unless Properly Treated With Hyo-
mel, Becomes Serious.
Catarrhal troubles are far more
dangerous than they seem at first
thought.
II you have catarrh, there is an
irritated state Of the mucous men,
brane and weakened tissues which
afford an ideal lodgment and culture
medium for disease germs, especially
those Of consumption.
You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs
that you may breathe lodge on the
diseased tissue and work destruction
in the throat and lungs.
The easiest, simplest, quickest, sur
est and cheapest way to cure catarrh
is by the direct method, breathing
Hyomei. This wonderful medIcated
air treatment does not drug or de-
range the stomach, but is breathed
in, directly following and destroying
all disease germs that may have been
inhaled.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold by Tallman & Co. is the best
evidence of their confidence in the
treatment and should dispel all doubt
as to its curative properties. They
agree to refund the purchase price to
anyone whom Hyomei fails to benefit
and you do not risk a cent in testing
its healing virtues. A complete outfit
costs but 81 II II helps you, not a
cent II It does not do all that is claim
ed for II.

T. T. Geer, ex-governor Of oregon
and ex-editor of the Pendleton Tri-
bune, will enter the contest against
Representative W. r. Ellis OF this

resigned the editorship of that jour
nal in order that 1t might devote

In view of the fact that the ulti-
mate issues of politics are a little un-
certain until after a count Of the
ballots has been made, 1t is a little
difficult to tell Just who will be de-
clared the choice Of the people. Con-

AWFUL ECZEMA
Sight Of Eye Destroyedby Disease
Tried Five Doctors but Grew
Worse In Agony Eight Months
Parents Discouraged, Until
They Tried Cutlcura Remedies
IN ONE WEEK ALL
SORES DISAPPEARED

"0ur little girl, one year and half
old, was taken with eczema or that was
what the doctor said il was. We called
in the family doctor and he gave some
tablets and said she would be all right
in a few DAYS. The eczema grew worse
and we called in doctor No. 2. He
said she was teething, as soon as the
teeth were through she would be all
right. But she still grew worse. Doc
tor No. 3 said it was eczema. By this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
q week. One morning we discovered
o little yellow pimple on one Of her
eyes. OF course we 'phoned for doctor
No. 3. He came over and looked her
over and said that he could not do any
thing more for her, that we had better
take her to some eye specialist, since it
was an ulcer. So we went to Oswego
to doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could help it.
We thought we would try doctor No. 5.
Well, that proved the same, only he
charged $40 more than doctor No. 4.
We were nearly discouraged. / saw
one Of the Cuticura advertisements in
the paper and thought we would try
the Cuticura Treatment, so l went and
purchased a set Of Cuticura Remedies,
which cost me 81, and in three days
our daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment. and in one week all sores had dis
appeared. or course it could not re-
store the eyesight, but II we had used

it would have saved the eye. We think
