Insurgents viii Control the
Party Council.
Have Large Majority OF Com.
mitteemen and Nominees.
LEGISLATURE ALSO.
Standpatters Will Be Scarce
According to Estimate.
Believed Effort at Cancellation
will Be Made.

There has been a lot of talk the past
two weeks about some of the stand
patters in the different counties max
ing q successful attempt to organize
the county committees and send hostile
chairmen to Topeka as delegates to the
party council August 80. There is moth
ing to it. Sixty-three counties have been
organized and of these As county chair
men are progressive and II standpat-
ters, according to reliable advices from
over the state. In regard to the legis-
lative candidates the complexion is the
same. only more so. OF "a counties
beard from ~ candidates are progress
sives and % standpatters.4
The following counties are among
those that have named Stubbs chair
men for the Topeka council: Allen But
ler Chase, ChautauQua, Clay. Ockln-
SON Geary- Graham Harvey, Jewell,
Linn, Lyon, Marion, Mcpherson, Miami,
Montgomery, Morris, Ottawa, Saline,
Scott, Sedgwick, Smith and Wyan-
dotte.
The first returns from county COM
loittee meetings showed the majority
of the counties in the control OF the
standpatters, but as the bulk OF the re
turns began to arrive the complexion
changed to a rosy hue Tor the insur-
gents. There is now little possibility
of row of any proportions in the
party council over platform or resolu-
tions. 1t is understood that the in
surgent leaders of standing will urge
conciliatory course and make moderate
demands in the platform and resolu-
tions. There is no question of an en-
dorsement of President Taft, but only
a matter of what constitutes dis
Greet" resolution as Bob Stone calls IT.
The Lord is on the side of the heaviest
pattalions and Stubbs has 10000 more
infantry than any one. 1t looks like

is too good politician to run the band

Iv be more inclined to invite them to
climb aboard and still not sacrifice any
principle he stands for.
Governor S.ubbs returned at noon to-
day from a three weeks outing in the
mountains of Colorado. he is looking
f,ne and says he feels the best ever.
He talked a good deal but said moth
ing about party council. He will de-
liver a speech in Johnson county Thurs
day and in Doniphan county Saturday.
He will spend Sunday in Lawrence and
come to Topeka Monday to stay over
to the party council. He will leave
Topeka Tuesday night to attend the
Osawa+omie celebration where he is to
introduce Colonel Roosevelt the after
noon of August 81.

STORM HITS CHICAGO.
Wind Estimated to Have Been Blowing
so Miles an Hour.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-One of the heav-
lest transforms of the year accompani-
ed by a wind of almost hurricane We
locity, prevailed in Chicago and vicin-
ity early this morning.
At 2:30 it is estimated the wind blew
at a rate of more than sixty miles per
hour, tearing down signs, uprooting
shade trees and demolishing a number
of small wooden structures in outlying
districts.
Much damage was done by the
heavy rain, sewers being choked and
many easements flooded.
There was a drop of IL degrees in
temperature in less than an hour
At 1 a. m, the thermometer regis
tered 80 degrees and at a. m. the
mercury had dropped to 6S.
The storm was central over north
ern Wisconsin and from GAINESVILLE re-
ports came of heavy damage by wind
and rain.
Although no reports of marine disas-
ters have come to life saving stations
along Lake Michigan, it is feared that
the suddenness of the storm on the
lake may have caused distress to ship
ping.
Many telegraph and telephone wires
were blown down or crossed and COM
munication by that means was badly
demoralized for several hours along
Lake Michigan.
Monday was one of the most un-
comfortable days experienced by Chi
cago in years owing to the excessive
humidity in the air.
1t was announced at the weather bu-
reau that the humidity was from 6 to
10 per cent higher in the day than the
average relative humidity in August
temperature for the day was 90 de-

is not regarded as in danger.
Wardner Is Threatened.
Wardner, Idaho, Aug. 23.-Four
fires are raging within a mile and a
half of Wardner and the town is in
danger. Six hundred men from the
Federal, Caledonia and Bunker mines

Digging in the Ruins.
Spokane, Wash, Aug. 23.-Super-
visor Weigle sent Ranger A. E. Hol-
comb today to open up the old Mullan
road leading to the Bullion mine,
where eight bodies are buried.
A crew was sent out to the Big
Fork of the Coeur d'Alene, where IL
bodies are buried under the ruins.
This will necessitate the clearing of
80 miles of road to Wallace.
Besides the IL dead at Big Fork,
three men suffered broken legs and
three others were totally blinded. DR..
Max T. Smith of Wallace is heading
relief expedition. A dispatch from
Mullan says that immediate danger
to that camp has passed. Heavy
clouds are hanging over the district
and rain is expected
Conditions Are Improved.
Missoula, Mont, Aug. 25.-At St.
Regis, Mont, where the situation was
serious all day yesterday, conditions
today are more encouraging; in fact,
many of the refugees are preparing
to return to their homes. The Black
foot Lumber company saved its prop
erty.
From Wallace, Idaho, an urgent call
has been received from the railroad
company for nurses and Sisters of
Charity to aid in the rescue work there.
The town is practically free from dan
ger and the work of clearing the de-
bris Is being pushed. There are some
fires around Mullan and Burke, but
these are not of alarming nature.
No report has been received from
Saltes but Superintendent Fowler OF
the Northern Pacific and his forces left
early today for the isolated station and
will proceed at once with the rebuild
ing of the damaged sections of the
track. No positive report has been re-
ported of the situation at Henderson,
but it is believed that little loss was
experienced at that place. The Mann
Lumber company saved all or It's prop

WILL BE NO COMPROMISE.
Roosevelt Is Ready to Carry His Fight
to the state Convention.

New York, Aug. 23.-"I am very
much pleased with Mr.. Taft's state
ment 1t makes the situation perfectly
clear. If Nassau county wishes me to
90 to the state convention 1 shall go.
/ regard the issue as clear cut and as
far as 1 am concerned there will be
absolutely no compromise"
This declaration was made today by
Theodore Roosevelt. a few minutes
before his departure on his western
speaking tour and followed a short
conference with County Chairman
Lloyd c. Griscom.
Colonel Roosevelt was in a happy
mood this morning as he edged his
way through the crowd at the station
and smilingly remarked to one of his
business associates that it seemed like
old campaign days. Mrs. Roosevelt.
Congressman and Mrs. Longworth and
Quentin came to the station. The
colonel was disinclined at first to dis
cuss politics in any of it's phases and
when told it had been reported that
he was expected to make a detailed
statement this morning regarding Mr..
Taft's letter to Mr.. Griscom, he laughed
and said:
ST am afraid you are of an over
trustful nature. No, I'm not going to
say anything; not a word
The colonel and his family were
escorted by the railroad officers to the
private car Republic" and there the
County Chairman Griscom and Col
lector of the Port Loeb. Later the
colonel emerged from the rear of his
private car and made the statement
that he would go to the state conven-
tion ifsNassau county selected him as
a delegate and that there would be no
compromise as the issues were clear
cut.
The declaration was taken to mean
by politicians that he now proposes to
go to the convention at Saratoga and
make his fight against the "old guard
for the platform and candidates that
he thinks most desirable. On his way
to the station this morning the colonel
branded as false a story printed re-
Gently that he had sent Chairman
Griscom to Beverly with an ultimatum
to President Taft.
There was a rousing cheer from rail
way employees and others as the car
attached to a regular train moved out
of the station and the former president
waved goodby with his big black felt
hat. The first stop is at Utica, where
he is due at 1888 o'clock this after
noon.
After the colonels train pulled out
Chairman Griscom said: "I regard
