FIRE UNDER CONTROL.
Light Rain and Snow Put End to
Destruction.

Helena, Mont, Aug. 2t.-The forest fire
situation tonight is greatly clarified. for
which nature is chiefly responsible in
that light rain and snow falls have
dampened the timber. and thus permitted
the fighters 10 backhre successfully. The
winds have also moderated in a marked
degree. and 1t is now apparently certain
that the fires will be confined 10 the
areas already burned over.
In only one district does the situation
appear really threatening. and that is at
Thompson Falls and points west along
the Clark Fork Valley This is due 10
the close proximity Of the towns 60 the
great forests OF Western Montana. In
less severe winds should fan the embers
It is thought they viii escape further
damage
Snow fell two inches deep in the CAL
latin forest to-day and quenched the
fires then rapidly moving toward the
Yellowstone Park, while steady down
pour has saved the situation in the Flat
Head country.

and came here on business pertaining 10
the company. He stated that when he

SOCIETY COLLAPSES
In STRENUOUS LIFE
Newport Residents Faint,
Owing to Great Strain.

Newport, r. T., Aug. PA number Of
Newport's prominent residents have been
seized with illness recently, and II is
thought that some cases are due TO the
strenuosity of the present social sea-
son. Members of the colony have kept
on the 90 almost continually for the past
month with dinners, luncheons. parties.
and many other forms OF social gayety.
The result has been that number of the
women and some of the men have felt
the strain. Several have tainted during
social entertainments, and in one case a
man and his wife had TO hurry of to the
mountains for rest.
On Monday Mrs. French Vanderbilt
tainted while at the dinner-dance given
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick H. Prince.
Last week while at a dinner-dance given
by Mrs. James B. Higgins. Mrs William
f. Carter tainted, and she and Mr.. Car

OF Iowa. to-day declare TO an audience
of 1900 at the Aurora Chautauqua that
the next Congress would have men who

the speaker.

Nicholas Longworth, Representative in
Congress, but known to fame chiefly as
the son-in-law Of Theodore Roosevelt,
now belongs TO the ''in-bad" class in
politics.
His sudden and spectacular conversion
to the cause of anti-Cannonism, instead
OF giving him new political status and
standing. appears to have deprived him
Of political status and standing alto

Uncle Joe's" rule and recognized beyond
his claims by appointment on such i'm

and Ways and Means. his course toward

his colleagues among the regulars and
failed utterly to commend him to the
progressives in any quarter
The comments Of the press upon his
conversion have been uniformly critical
and sighting. Neither faction Of the
party was pleased with his statement.
and neither is to-day treating him seri-
ously as a political factor. Should he be
