Although Alice Roosevelt Longworth
attends the convention each day she
would not be recognized by many
women because the style of hair
dressing she has adopted almost COM
pletely hides her face and individuality.
She is wearing a great fiat pompa-
dour pulled down over her ears and
eyes. Speaking OF hair, there is
noted great change in Mrs. Chauncey
NJ. Depew. When she was here at the
last convention four years ago. her
hair was jet black with Just a few
touches of gray, but now it is snowy
white. which in contrast to her blac'
eyes, adds greatly to her appearance.
The interest of the women folk in
Chicago over the struggle twixt the
Taft and Roosevelt forces is CROWN
as intense as that of the contenders
themselves. And women are playing
big part in the political war. There
are many workers among the con-
vention throngs-some for Taft and
others for Roosevelt.
Some wise people believe that the
presence Of the two women delegates
on the convention floor is all that
averted a riot and bloodshed long
ago. The Roosevelt fighters probably
don't mind discriminating the Taft
forces. but they do not care to start
anything while the two delegates
from California are present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
were among the earliest arrivals this
morning. Mrs. Longworth was attired
in cool linen, and Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt, who IS accompanied by her daugh-
ter, Ethel. and son, Quenten, was in
black.

be discarded before it had been placed
in fair working order. According to
this plan the Roosevelt delegates were
not to vote on motions connected with
the work and organization of the con-

Roosevelt's name in nomination.
Also. if a candidate is nominated

With the approach of the time for
nomination, United States Senator w.
S. Kenyon and Congressman s. E.
Prouty of Iowa were particularly &C
tive in behalf of the candidacy of Sem
ator Cummins. Both said they ex-
pected important developments today
that might decide the chances Of the
Iowa senator's success.
\ There were strong indications n the
Taft camp also that the leaders had
gotten together on their programme
and that the session Of the convention
today might bring forth a clean cut
outline of what finally these leaders
intended to do. Final plans were dis
cussed at number of breakfast coun-
ellis, during which communications
were received from nearly all state
leaders as to late developments last

CAPTURED the TEAM
BUT man GETS AWAY

A special officer of the depart
ment of justice passed through
Roman on Sunday last enroute to
Jocko with a team and buggy he
captured near Camas last week.
The officer was on the trail of a
bootlegger who was supplying
that portion of the reservation
with the ardent spirits and was
apprehended in the act of dis
tributing the liquor to Indians.
The officer was so far successful
as to capture the team, buggy
and stock of liquor, but the boot
logger was able to effect an es-
cape.
The team and buggy will be
libeled and sold and the stock of
liquor destroyed.

ROOSEVELT BELIEVES he IS
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

A call has been issued by the
Roosevelt following for a conven-
ton to be held in Chicago on
August 5, to nominate a candi-
date for president and vice pres
ident on what it is expected will
be called the National Progress
sive ticket.
The call is signed by about 40
Roosevelt followers, and contains
the name of Senator Jos. M.
Dixon for Montana.
The call states that the con-
vention will be composed of only
one half the number of delegates
of the Chicago convention, which
Roosevelt bolted, on account of
the fact that this new convention
is expected to be composed of
men of double the mental capac-
ity of the first Chicago conven-
ton and therefore would require
only half as many men to do the
same amount of business.
There should be a guarantee
attached to the call that Col.
Roosevelt will not bolt this con-
vention should he not be nomi-
mated, otherwise it may be nec-
essary to call still another before
the colonel is nominated.
1t is thought that Chicago will
be able to care for the crowd
which will attend.

Coyotes are Numerous

Anyone having a pack of swift
running hounds might have some
sport by taking them out on the
big fiat about a mile southwest
from Jack Dillon's ranch. From
there on southwest as far as
Moiese valley the coyotes have
oeen seen quite often. If a hun
ter goes out with one common
dog | would advise him to take a
long handled club, as it is safe to
bet the coyotes will make the
dog hard to catch and will bring
him up in short range. On two
different occasions when | drove
across the prairie the coyotes
have followed the wagon, only a
short distance away. Once our
dog was with me and two coyotes
came up within forty feet of the
buggy and fought with the dog.
When | stopped and got out of
the buggy they ran and when |
started on they came and chased
the dog within fifty yards of the
rig. Our loss from coyotes has
averaged close to one dollar per
day for the last month. Their
heaviest and boldest raid was the
killing of ten geese in the middle
IF the afternoon of June 29th.

COUNCIL WILL ENFORCE
STOCK AND DOG ORDINANCE

At a meeting of the town
council Monday night it was de-
cided to enforce the stock ordin-
ance as soon as the thirty days
have expired for the posting Of
the ordinance, which will be on
the 25th Of this month. After
that time all stock found running
at large within the town limits
will be impounded and the costs
taxed up to the owner.
The dog license ordinance is
now in effect and all owners will
be required to pay the required
license fee and secure the reg
ulation tag. All dogs found rum
ming at large after August 1st
without the tag will be taken up,
and after notice has been served
to the effect that the canine has
been taken in charge, will be
disposed Of. The dog license is
payable either to the town treas
urer or town marshal.
Plans and specifications for the
town building were presented
and approved and bids for the
construction of the same will be
asked for at once. The plans
call for a building that will be
credit to the town, and if it can
be built for an amount within
the limit the council feels justi-
fled in expending, work will soon
be started.
At the Monday night meeting
the mayor appointed A. M.
Thornburgh clerk and Geo. E.
Broughton town treasurer, both
being unanimously
confirmed by the council. Both
gentlemen are exceptionally we'll
qualified for the work ahead of
them and the selection of these
gentlemen for their respective
positions was made entirely from
this point of view. Their SER
vices will be of much value to the
town..

SCHOOL BOARD RE0RCAN|zED

At a special meeting of the
school board held at St. Ignatius
on Monday last, Chairman Sabin
and Clerk Shead both resigned.
Sabin as a member of the board
of trustees and Shead as clerk of
the board. This action was
taken for the reason that Mr..
Shead has removed from the dis
trict and Mr.. Sabin as a member
of the board, so he could accept
the position of clerk of the board
which pays a salary of $40 per
month.
DR.. A. K. Resner was elected
chairman and w. H. Sabin clerk.
This action necessitates the ap-
pointment of a trustee to sue
ceed Mr.. Sabin, and will prob
ably remove the main cause of
all the dissension which has pre-
vailed among the trustees.
DR.. Resner is expected to make
an excellent chairman, being
familiar with school matters from
long experience on the board in
Iowa, and with desire to treat
all sections of the district with
strict fairness, the change will
be beneficial.

lNSURCENT REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS DISSOLVE

The working agreement be-
tween the insurgent republicans
and the democrats is at an end.
1t has been abrogated as the re-
suit of conferences ever since
the metal bill was passed in the
senate by the democrats in the
absence of regular republicans
and without the aid of the in
surgents.
The probable result will be
that the house sugar and wool
and excise bills will be presented
to the senate and voted down by
a strict party vote. All the re-
publicans are expected to vote
against them and it is probable
some Of the democrats will join
them in opposition to the house
sugar bill, which would admit
sugar free of duty.
After the passage of the metal
bill, the democrats appointed a
committee to confer with the in
surgent republicans regarding
future cooperation. Finally the
democrats of the committee were
notified they could expect no
further cooperation because of
the impossibility of getting con-
sideration of the insurgent
measures. This condition was
produced by the decision of the
regular republicans to disappear
from the chamber in sufficient
numbers to allow the democrats
to get their bills through without
the aid of the insurgents. This
programme rendered it impos-
sible for the insurgents to get
even a vote on their measures
and they decided not to "play"
any longer.

ARCHIBALD Be |MPEACHED

The house committee which
has had the charges filed against
Judge Archibald Of the COM
merce court, under investigation
for the past two months, filed it's
report Monday last and recon-
mend that the senate proceed as
a court of impeachment against
him.
The report says: "The con-
duct of this judge has been ex-
ceedingly reprehensible and is in
marked contrast to the high
sense Of judicial ethics and prob
ity that usually characterizes the
federal judge" The report was
unanimous.

atives Floyd of Arkansas, Davis
of West Virginia, and Webb of
North Carolina, democrats, and
Representatives Norris of Ne
braska; Sterling, Illinois; and
Mowland, Ohio, republicans, are
named as managers to prosecute
the Archibald trial before the

This will be the ninth i'm
peachment trial and will furnish
an example of what impeach-
ment will do. The advocates of
the recall of the judiciary will

Late Fashion Notes

If it requires more than one
width of yard wide goods to make
the skirt, you should take anti
fat.
Rather than make the skirt
more than four inches above the
shoe tops, use form pads.
More than one underskirt is
very bad form, unless the wearer
has an exception figure.
The latest hats cover the face
entirely. Peek holes are allowed
for near-sighted people.
