CRAZY MAN IS
FOUND ON TRAIN

Early this morning Officer Her
mann arrester a man identified as
G. N.-Nelsop. Of Chicago, believed to
be temporarily deranged. The pc
culiar actions of the man frightened
people in the vicinity of the oxford
hotel in the early morning hours and
Officer Hermann who was on his reg
ular beat made the arrest his atten-
tion being called to the man as he
was leaving for the depot.
In each hand the strange acting
man carried a huge suit case and he
waved them around his head running
at break-neck speed down Fifth
street toward the Union depot. There
was no train leaving at that time and
Officer Hermann was easily conyino-
ed that the mans mental condition
was such as to bear investigation and
he took after the departing Cric-
agoan. Hermann's legs, however,
We're too short to enable him to gain
very much on the man and the depot
was reached before he could get hold
of him. He did not resist arrest but
talked incoherently and of visionary
subjects while on the way to the jail.
The man seemed to be under the
impression that he had but recently
won $1,000 on the Chicago Stock
Exchange and that somebody was
pursuing him to take it from him.
He seemed grateful to the officer for
putting him behind the bars stating
that now they could not get him.
He is man of apparent means and
had considerable money on his per-
son when arrested He registered at
the oxford hotel under the name of
C. NJ. Nelson.
He is being held at the county jail
and will be given time to become
rational before any action is taken,
and in case his arrangement is dis
covered to be of permanent nature
he will probably be sent back to Chi
cago.

Morning Session.

hoTiInS StssiOh.
County Chairman DIR. Thadd Park
er called the meeting to order a few
minutes after II O'Clock and Secre-
the convention.
AT this point Mrs. J. L. Weir was
given permission for few remarks.
She presented "A request on behalf of
the women vot, RS that only such men
be chosen for the legislature as
would give the state an opportunity
to vote on prohibition law.
Nominations being called for as
temporary chairman, the name of
George Smith, of Orchard Mesa was
placed before the convention by w.
G.. Struthers. Smith was chosen by
unanimous vote.
Upon reaching the platform he de-
livered an address explaining his po-
sition as well as his view of condi-
tions in county. state and nation.
George Smith Speaks.
He declared that he was progress
sive, that the republican party was
progressive. He advocated not only
the initiative and referendum the
direct primary law, the recall and
corrupt practices act, but urged the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people
Evidently he was aware of the
feeling in the convention and the
danger of split at the election, for
he declared that those who sought
nominations and were not selected
by the convention should go 70 the
polls and vote as progressive repub-
licans just as Loyalty as if they had
been chosen to places on the county
ticket.
He complimented the convention
on being composed SO largely of
young men. He was frequently ap-
plauded by the progressive element.
The position of Mr.. Smith, al
though quite at variance with former
stands taken by him was no particu-
lar surprise to the old timers of the
convention, for Smith is known to be
sort of political chameleon taking
on the colors and hues of the PROPOSE
ton most to his private interest or
suggested by those closest 20 him.
After Mr.. Smiths speech the mat
ter of temporary secretary was taken
up. J. A. Munson was selected by
the convention for the position.
Chairman Smith then announced
the following committees:
Credentials-A. ]. Deong. w. G.
Struthers, w. T. S. May, John Hynes.

Syracuse, n. Y. Sept. 17.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt returned to the de-
fense of his new nationalism today,
as was specifically indicated in the
title of his address at the State fair
here-"The New Nationalism and
the Old Morality
1.-THE -nationalism, he reiter-
ated, means nothing but an appli-
cation to new conditions of certain
old and fundamental moralities. 1t
means an invitation to meet new
problems.
He followed this with justifica-
tion of his attacks upon the supreme
court of the United States. He chose
two arguments: one, that his criti-
cism had merely echoed the minority y
opinions of the court itself; the 9TH
er, that he had illustrious precedent
the example of Abraham Lincoln.
who, he said, had been far more out
spoken than he himself had ever been,
and the example of President Taft,
from whose utterances 10 years ago
in favor of public criticism of the
courts he quoted.
The address closed with the only
words that could be construed as hav-
ing any bearing upon the immediate
political situation within the repub-
lican party in this state-a disserta-
tion on popular self-control and par
ty leaders, distinction between
bosses and leaders.
The Roosevelt special train stopped
at the local station a few minutes
while company of the national
guard, acting as an escort to Colonel
Roosevelt, embarked. The train then
proceeded to the fair grounds, where
a crowd estimated at $4,000 packed
the grand stands, paddock and track
to hear the former president.

N CANADIAN TRAIN
WRECK
MRS. JOE KELLEY, DAUGHTER
AND POSSIBLY HUSBAND, FOR
MERLY OF LEAvENWORTH,
KILLED. D

Leavenworth had two victims Of
the fearful catastrophe at Spanish
river, on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road last Friday, in the persons of
Mrs. Joe Kelley and ten year old
daughter The bodies of these two
were recovered Monday. 1t was re-
ported at Leavenworth yesterday that
Mr.. Kelley had also been killed, but
the papers made no mention of his
death.
The Kelleys had been residents of
Leavenworth for some years. He had
been employed by the Lamb-Davis
Lumber company but about four
months ago he and family moved to
British Columbia and they were on
their way home from the east on a
visit to her relatives when the acct
dent occurred. They were respected
citizens of Leavenworth and have a
great many friends there who are sor-
rowing over the tragedy.
Statements by the railroad officials
early in the day placed the list of
known dead at thirty-one, but their
figures were increased to thirty-seven.
Apparently no consideration is taken
of the immigrants who were travelling
in the wrecked colonist cars. The loss
of life in the colonist car can only be
estimated, as officials refuse to make
any statement. Ten is considered a
conservative estimate. Conductor
Reynolds had taken up seventy-nine
tickets on the trip. and seventy-two
holders of these, according to the
figures, were killed or injured.

WATER FALLING At
ODESSA
GREAT NORTHERN EXPECTS TO
HAVE CRAB CREEK BRIDGE
REPLACED THIS EVENING -
MUCH WATER AT ODESSA.

The high waters as result of Crab
creek going on a rampage are slow
1y receding. In the Odessa-Krupp
country the water has fallen II In
ches since yesterday at o'clock.
Monday and Tuesday the water was
two feet deep in the buildings along
the two principal streets, forcing
occupants to remove to the upper
floors or to higher grounds. The
Great Northern bridge at Crab creek
was carried away and the company is
having difficulty in driving piling for
a new structure. The bottom of the
river is of rock and there seems to
be a great deal of difficulty in getting
the bents to stick. Advices from
Odessa this morning are to the effect
that it is hoped to get the bridge in
shape SO that the night trains can
get through. At Krupp the water
yesterday spread over the meadow of
Urquhart Bros, covering an area of
half mile wide.
A cow feeding at a haystack in the
meadow attempted to cross the
stream and was drowned. The water
is within a couple of feet of the high
water mark of last year. The new
steel bridge being built across Crab
creek at the foot Of UrQuhart avenue
has stood the strain SO far, and the
old wooden bridge just below is al
most under water.
Citizens have been busy all day
building a dixie across draw in the
northeast part of town to keep the
water out OF the Easements OF Law

Lee Schultz company's general store.
Since Sunday the trains have been

POWER
DELIVERED
To CITY
BIG POWER PLANT ON ENTIAT
RIVER is RE A D Y--P o WEIR
TURNED ON THIS MORNING
BIG UNITS RUNNING PERFECT.

The long looked for Entiat power
is in the city and the company will
be ready to give service next Satur-
day. Some minor adjustments re-
main to be made, although the juice
is already in the wires and delivered
to the sub-station on Wenatchee ave-
nue. just south of the court house.
There are two big power units at
the station, each capable of develop
ing 1000 horsepower. The machinery
is so perfectly balanced that a child
can turn the big turbines with one
hand.
Lemon Did Good Work.
H. X. Lemon, better known as
Dad" formerly of the Wenatchee
Canning company. moved with his
family to Entiat about a month ago
to supervise the installation of the
hydraulic machinery. His results
have been SO satisfactory that the
company is enthusiastic in it's praise,
and with the general success of the
whole undertaking, was feeling quite
jubila1t this morning with the
thought of evesything working well
and the wer in the substation.
There are two separate plants, either
one of which is capable of delivering
the 1000-horsepower to Wenatchee.
G. A. Harris Built Canal.
c. A. Harris, superintendent of
construction work for the company,
hauled the machinery and set it up,
and also constructed the flume. The
canal from the headgate is one and a
quarter miles long. Mr. Harris main
tains a force of six men to look after
the canal and to do such other work
as comes within their scope.
Three shifts are run in the power
house, although the machinery goes
so perfectly that it requires very lit
tie attention.
E. A Wielanj is securing lot of
photographs of the plant from the
headgate throughout the whole line
down to the substation here in town,
and will soon have them ready for
exhibition.

COAL N
THE BIG
TUNNEL
FAMOUS PUMP STARTS TOMOR-
ROW-CITY WILL SOON HAVE
PLENTY OF WATER - COAL
FROM TUNNEL BURNED.

That there are enormous coal de-
posts all through this country has
long been a we'll known fact, but for
the benefit of those who have not
actually seen the coal, and for the
benefit of some who have not even
heard of it, it can be said that coal
in the vein can be seen any day not
far from Wenatchee avenue.
Down at the big pumping plant
where a tunnel is being run out un-
der the river the coal is being brought
up right along and sometimes it is
used to keep up the fires in the hoist.
The coal is a good grade of Ignite
but the vein is too small to excite
much commercial interest, although
il followed up there is no telling
what it might develop into. There are
other veins close in that are large
enough for commercial prospects
right at the surface.
]. H. Fuller, in charge of the tun
mel work, stated that he had done
some welding with the coal, although
the results were not thoroughly sat
isfactory for that purpose.
Big Pump Starts Tomorrow.
J. H. Fuller stated further in re-
gard to the pump that the pipes
would be ready for water tomorrow
and that the pump would be started
at once The concrete work for the
tunnel will begin next week as it has
no part in the water service at this
time of the year. The pipes extend
far out into the. river and in order
to have them always accessible the
city is building a tunnel from the
power house out to the ends of the
pipes. The tunnel will be six feet
in the clear and concrete lined
throughout. Hereafter there will be
no troubles about the intake.
Engineer Ward Versus Darius Green
Darius Green with his flying ma
chine" has easily been outclassed by
the ingenuity of ]. H. Fuller and
Charles Funderburg. When Engineer
Ward talked about installing a hoist
these men came to the front with a
proposition to convert the city's street
roller into one. The city has fine
Buffalo steam roller that was not in
much use in the winter time, until
these men conceived the idea of hitch
ing it onto the tunnel job. The rig
ging of the whole thing makes
queer looking contraption, but it
works perfectly and not only does the
hoisting. but it runs the cement mix
e1 ana the pulsometer pump as well.
