committees on rules nor credentials.
The only original business of a
national convention, under the plan
which Colonel Roosevelt will advance
before the present meeting, will be
tho drawing of the platform, and that
will have TO be drawn by the men
who will have to carry out the plat
form if they are elected.
Running Mate Not Picked.
OF course the present convention
will be much along the lines of the
conventions of the regular republic
cans and democrats, nominations for
president and vice president being
made in the old way. There is no
doubt that Colonel Roosevelt will be
the nominee of the convention which
began today and so much attention
has been given to his presence and
the views expressed by the eX-presi-
dent that comparatively little has
been said about a running-mate.
Several men I mentioned, perhaps
the most prominent of whom +
Governor johnson of California, w.
A. Prendersast, of New York and
Oscar S. Strauss, of New York.
Massachusetts is represented by
three women delegates at the con-
vention, and there are women from
one or two Western states also.
Although Colonel Roosevelt has
taken particular precautions TO pre-
vent his speech from becoming
known in advance of its delivery, it
is said on the best of authority that
he will make a reference to the steel
probe. He will also discuss the initia-
tive, referendum and recall and, per-
haps, woman suffrage.
Among some of the prominent fig
ares at the convention are, Timothy
l.. Woodruff, of New York, who bolt
ed the Taft ticket. United States Sen
ltor Miles PoindcXter, of Washing
ton; Representative George Currey,
of New Mexico; Governor Joseph II.
Carey, of Wyoming; William d.
Flinn, of Pennsylvania; Clifford Pin
chot, eX-chief of the bureau of for
estry; Herbert Knox Smith, who re
signed as United States commissioner
of corporations to cast his lot with
the third party movement; Dean Will
liam Draper Lewis of the law faculty
of the university of Pennsylvania;
Judge Ben Lindsay of Denver, a dem
ocrat; Julian Harris, of Atlanta, son
of Joel Chandler Harris, and Col. w.
r.. Nelson, owner of the Kansas City
Star.

CAN NOT
CHANGE BOUNDARIES
ATTORNEY GENERAL HOLDS
THIS CAN BE DONE ONLY
by AN ACT OF THE
LEGISLATURE.

Pierre, S. D.-The effort to cut the
counties of Dewey. and ziebach, with
the unorganized territory known as
Armstrong county, into three coun-
ties of different m%oundaries will fail
at present. On inquiry as to their
powers the states attorney of Dewey
county, Attorney General johnson
holds that the present petition as
shown by the records filed by him
do not indicate the same boundaries
in the petitions being circulated in
the two different counties; that the
petitions are not properly verified;
and that the law does not give Dewey
and Ziebach county voters power to
attempt to change the boundaries of
the county of Armstrong, such act
ion only being in the province of the
legislature. With these findings he
houds that they cannot legally pro-
coed on their plan of division. This
will be a blow to ambitious county
seat towns, but it is up to them, to
get action in the next legislative SEES
sion, and they will no doubt have rep
~resentatives on the ground.
The attorney general also holds
that the state engineer cannot draw
compensation as water commissioner
even though the law allows him to
carry u such duties, as the appro-
priation for the water commissioner
is not appropriated to any other of.
ficer except such commissioner.
He also holds on inquiry from the
auditor of Dawson county that state
lands sold are not taxable for the
year of the sale unless the trensfe1
has been completed and the contract
sent to the purchaser prior to the
date of annual assessment.

The committee met last night in
the office OF w. A. Wheeler and there
held an enthusiastic meeting. The
matter of concessions was taken up
and discussed. N. H. Jensen, who
has the matter of selling the space
on the streets in charge declared
that there will be a bigger lot of
extra attractions here this year than
ever and that indications already
point to the fact that all available
space will be taken.
There is some talk of having a
candidates or political day. 1t is
said that to have one day set aside
for each political party and to have
prominent speakers of that party
present on that day, will prove to be
a big drawing card. This matter will
be decided later when it becomes

MILWAUKEE IS MAKING
MANY IMPROVEMENTS
GRAVEL TRAINS ARE PASSING
THROUGH HERE AT RATE OF
ONE EVERY HOUR. LINE ei
GRAVELED TO MT. VERNON.

The Milwaukee railroad is making
many marked improvements in lis
line between Canton and Chamber
lain this year, noteworthy among
which is the %graveling of the road
bed which is now being completed.
1t Is the intention of the company.
to keep on graveling west until the
demand for the engines for the haul
ing of the new grain crop compels
the work to cease. 1t is thought this
will occur in about two weeks.
The gravel is being brought from
the pits at Hudson, just this side
of Canton and it is being taken
through here at the rate of one
twenty-car train about every forty
five minutes. A novel method is
used for unloading the cacs. They
have convertible sides which can be
easily raised from the bottom. All
the cars are connected with sheet
iron plates between them. A large
pillow is placed on the last car. 1t Is
hauled forward throughout the
length of the train by a huge cable
which winds round a drum fixed on
the forward ar, Thus all the cars
are emptied in q very short time and
only half a dozen men are required
to manipulate q train. af8

DIES WHILE Wife
is " WATCHING PARADE
ALFRED A. WEBERT, TRAVELLING
SALESMAN FOUND DEAD IN
BED-HEART TROUBLE
SAID TO BE CAUSE.

Alfred A. Nebert, rs years of age,
a travelling salesman was found dead
in bed at his home, 312 West Fifth
street, by his wife upon her return
from the circus parade, this noon.
The wife upon finding the dead body
of her husband ran screaming into
the street where she was found by
the neigh bors. She vas in a precar-
ious condition and declared she wish
ed to die too. A physician was call
ed who quoted the hysterical wo-
a
Mr.. Webert who has been troubled
fused to attend the parade this nor
ming, affirming that he did not feel
cry we'll. Mrs. Webert therefore
went to witness the parade, leaving
her husband alone, but apparently in
10 dangerous condition. Upon her re-
turn she failed to find him in the liv-
ing rooms and came upon his dead
body only after searching the rest OF
the house.
1t is supposed that Mr.. Webert felt
badly and went to lie down until his
wife should return. Death came
quietly but was very unexpected.
The deceased came to this city
about a year ago from Elk Mound
Wisconsin. He is a travelling salesman
for the Jenne-Semple-Hill company
of Minneapolis. Excepting his wife he
leaves no family here. No funeral ar
rangements have as yet been com
pleted.

SENATOR BENERIDGE SCORES
OLD ORDER IN SPEECH

Chicago.-In his speech as temper
airy chairman of the convention of
the icy third party, ex-senator Bev-
eridge of Indiana, discussed the evils
confronting the American people and
the refusal of those in control of the
two old parties to attempt to solve
them. His speech was in particular an
attack upon the boss system and fur
Their brought a bill of particulars
against the present administration.
Following are the more striking
passages in his speech:
ITO carry out Il principles We
have a plain program OF constructive
reform. We mean to tear down only
that which is wrong and u of date:
| and where we tea down we mean to
build what is right and fitted to the
times. We harken to the call of the
present. We mean to make laws fit
coalitions as they are and meet the
needs Of the people who are on earth
today. That we may do this we found
a party through which all who believe
with us can work for us, or. rather,
we declare our allegiance to the party
which the people themselves have
founded.
For this party from the
grass roots. 1t has grown from the
soil of the peoples hard necessities.
1t has the vitality of the people
strong convictions. The people have
work to be done and our party is here
to do that work. Abuse will only
strengthen it, ridicule only haster
it's growth, falsehood only speed its
victory.
For years this party has beer

SIZE OF CONVENTION.

Chicago.-Just six weeks ago to-
night at a great mass meeting in
Orchestra Hall, Chicago, Theodore
Roosevelt was asked to lead the
Progressive movement in the United
States, while in the Coliseum the
remnant of the Republican conven-
ton went through the form of re-

the promise of the Orchestra Hall
meeting is on the V of fulfillment.

But the Washington correspond

would be called to order Monday
with more delegates in attendance
than attended either the Republican
or Democratic national conventions.
