RICHMOND GETS
NEXT CONVENTION
This City Chosen Place for the
Next Y. M. c. A.
Meeting.
DELEGATION WORKED HARD
CAPTURE OF NEXT CONVENTION
SECOND SUCCESS MET WITH
SINCE POLICY OF WORKING FOR
CONVENTIONS WAS ADOPTED.

A telegram received this afternoon
from George l.. Goodwin, secretary Of
the Richmond Y. NJ. c. A.. who is at
tending the state meeting of the Y. NJ.
C. A. at South Bend, states that Rich
mond was today selected as the place
for holding the state convention next
year.
The Richmond delegation to the
South Bend meeting went determined
to capture this plum for Richmond
and their efforts were crowned with
complete success. Undoubtedly, the
delegation was materially assisted by
the fact that this city would have been
selected as the meeting place this year,
instead of South Bend. had the Y. M.
c. A. building been completed
Capturing the state Y. M. c. A. meet
ing for 1909, is the second success met
with since the inauguration of the re-
Gently adopted policy on the part of
the business men of this city to
boom Richmond and to bring to
this city as many conventions and
meetings as possible, SO that out of
town people could see for themselves
what a splendid place the Quaker City
is. The first convention brought to
this city as a result of the new move
ment, was held here this week-the
meeting of the Indiana Federated Com
mercia1 clubs.
The Y. NJ. G. A. convention will
bring hundreds OF young men, the
cream of the states citizenship, to
Richmond next year They will come
from every section and will be the
guests of this city for several days.

as low as 25 cents, 80 cents, and rs
cents, with hundreds of 81 donations.
There are still other thousands rang
ing from s. to so and pages of so,
$15, and $50 contributions.
The great bulk of the republican
fund is made up not by the large dona-
tions of the extremely wealthy. but by
to do and prospering citizens of the
country. The great number of names
in both the eastern and western lists
indicates plainly that it was a popular
subscription.
Democrats Give to Taft.
The fund was notable for one thing,
and that was the great number of
democrats, who contributed to the re,
publican rather than the democratic
fund. In Chicago alone. scores OF
well known democrats gave money to
the republican campaign. This includes
well known men like William D. Ker-
foot, city controller under the Harri-
son administration, and F. H. Win
ston.
Many other democrats of more OF
less Importance can befound in -
list which Mr.. Upham has sent TO Ma
tional Treasurer Sheldon.
Another feature of interest in the
fund is the number of women who
were interested enough in the success
of the republican party to contribute
TO the campaign fund in sums ranging
from $50 to s.. Mrs. Marshall Field
was a subscriber and SO was her sis
ter. Mrs. Eddy.

After Mr.. Foulke's conference with
the president. he said he had no infor-
nation for the public. Mr. Foulke
was asked as to hisopinion about the
proposed bill of Representative Crum-
packer TO relieve appointees to the new
census force from civil service rules
Mr. Foulke expressed the opinion he
does not believe the bill will pass In
its present form. He declared the
civil service idea is growing in favor
with the people and members of con-
gress will hear from constituents on
any proposition dealing with probable
changes.

With all the leases doing steady
work, and the activity which the
erection of mill and the construction
of a water pipe line will soon cause,
Helena will be humming little min
ing town. On Sunday the sound of
the carpenters hammers echoed from
a dozen different points, and teams
were at work scraping off the streets
in the townsite, the streets straight
and wide, by the way.
The camp looks good, and the
work which is being done there show
all the evidence of good faith and
actual mining development which the
mining investor could ask for. How
ever, the investor is not being asked
for much in the Clifford district, as
the work, in the main, is being done
by the men on the ground and with
their own money and labor.

EARTHQUAKE ON
PACIFIC COAST
Three Distinct
Shocks Occur at
Eureka
CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE DONE
Plate Glass Windows Broken
Chimnies Knocked Down
and Walls Cracked.

Eureka, Calf, Aug. 1S.--Two sharp
earthquakes were felt here at
o'clock this morning and a third at
5.45. The first was the heaviest and
did some damage to the walls of the
old buildings, but no one was injured.
Crockery in many houses was broken
and the sleepers awakened. 1t is not
believed any serious damage was done
in town, although the walls of the
court house were slightly cracked.
The first and sharpest shock oc-
Cured at 2;5S a. m. 1t was almost
as severe as the one felt on April 18
1906. At 3:OS o'clock a siighter shock
was felt and third at $3.50. The first
shock caused practically all the dam
age. More than one hundred chin.
neys were prostrated and about forty
plate glass windows in the business
portion were cracked. The damage SO
far reported is estimated at between
two and three thousand dollars. A
sixteen foot statue of Minerva on the
court house dropped and the heavy
staff crashed through the roof.
Besides cracking the walls of the
court house, the walls of the Carnegie
library building were slightly crack
ed. Reports from the Stay ranch
near Freshwater, six miles north of
Eureka, state that the earthquake
caused big fissure in the earth there
for half mile. A number of chin
neys in that vicinity were thrown
down but otherwise little damage was
done
The shock extended as far north as
Blue Lakes, 25 miles from Eureka
where crockery was broken and hall
a dozen chimneys knocked down.

Pure Seed Investigations.-Since the
publication of bulletin No. SS Of the
Iowa experiment station on vitality,
Adulteration and Impurities of
Glover, Alfalfa and Timothy Seed"
a large amount of important work has
been done along these lines, especially
from the standpoint of purity and VI
tally. The high price of agricultural
seeds during the past year has made it
especially important that buyers be
sure of obtaining pure seed with a
high percentage of vitality. The pas
sage of the pure seed law has been a
long step in the right direction, but
there is still a large amount of seed
sold that is far below standard. The
results of the latest investigation in
this line have been published in bulle-
tin No. SO Of the Iowa experiment sta.
ton, which will be furnished free upon
application to the director, Prof. G. F.
Curtiss, at Ames, la.
