DR.. Butler was probably chosen tenn
porary chairman because in this state
among the Republican leaders the BELIEF
is very strong that the party should not
depart in any way from the fundamental
principles which have characterized it
since it was organized DR.. Butler is
protectionist, but he regards the whole
tariff question purely an economic one,
and he was in cordial accord with the
view expressed by President Mckinley at
Buffalo shortly before the latter's death
in which Mckinley declared that gradual
reduction of duties was imperative
1t has been inferred that the choice or
DIR. Butler as temporary chairman-an
office which is important simply because
it furnishes the opportunity for making
the chief address to a convention-con-
veys the intimation that the party would
be glad to nominate him for governor
next fall The inference may be we'll
founded, but DIR. Butler will not be nom1-
mated for governor. He will not permit
his name to be mentioned that OF 4

to do at Columbia university. a work
which probably will require a continuous
life service to the university. III ne &C

to make a speech which Republicans
everywhere will read and which may, in

higher.
Individual estimates vary greatly and
run as high as s5,o00.o00. Practically
the entire wholesale and warehouse
districts were flooded.
AS telegraph communication from
points up the creek was renewed many
reports of thrilling rescues and great
suffering were received.
The smaller dwellings along the creeA
collapsed like paper sacks under th@
first onslaught OF the wall Of water
that swept down the creek. Mayor
Arnold was early on the scene with
most Of the fire and police depart
ments, and volunteering citizens. Ev-

Hundreds of spectators cut Off from
retreat by the flood before they realized
their danger were next rescued by vol

carried them ashore. Wagon after wag-

dren in their drenched night dresses.
Those who insisted on saving effects
were dragged from their homes.

and baby, were the first rescued. His
mother, 60 years old stumbling back
into the current had to be rescued
again.
Fred Olsen. 6 years old, stood alone

baby sister. He had saved himself by
swimming.
Wen get them.' said Mayor Arnold.
A wagon plunged through the flood
to the Olsen home where three res
cuers entered and returned with the
mother and baby. A squad Of patrol
men rescued a score from house tops
on Market street and hurried them in a
haywagon to the auditorium.
Practically the entire resident dis

Broadway to the Platte river between
