Necessary for nomination..... Chicago, June 14.— Colonel Roose- velt won his first substantial victory ‘Thursday afternoon before the Re- publican national committee, when he was credited with eight delegates from Missouri, four at large and four from the districts in dispute. By a compromise reached beiween the fac- tions President Taft was given six and Roosevelt four of the contested delegates from the First, Third, Fifth, Seventh and Fourteenth districts. Roosevelt won the delegates from the TFirst and Fifth districts and Mr. Taft wasg given the rest. The decision on the delegates at large was unanimous in favor of the -colonel, and later unanimous approv- al was given the compromise ar- Tangement as to the districts. This result put heart into the Roosevelt camp and the remaining contests will be conducted with at least some hope of a departure from {lie monotonous decision in favor of the president. Mr. Taft was given the delegates from six contested Mississippi dis- tricts at the morning session. Minnesota Meeting Monday. F. B. Kellogg, national committee- ‘man, has issued a call for the meet- ing of the Minnesota delegation to special.” The jobbers’ special will get to Be- midji after supper and members of the Commercial club will meet the train to escort the visitors to the club rooms. There they will meet their Bemidji merchant friends and will probably attend the University week entertainment in the Armory later in the evening. As the train carries its own diners, no effort will be made to arrange for a dinner in honor of the jobbers. Reunion of Harvard Clubs.

The epi- demic, which started several weeks ago with two or three slight cases, has gradually swept the town until now there is said to be hardly a fam- ily which has not one or two nf its members on the sick list. Travelers who have been to North- ome during the past week are author- ity for the above statements. They say that the disease has already caused death and that other lives are despaired of. Mrs. Martin Engle- king is reported as being low and was not expected to live through last night. In order to escape the ravages of the disease, many families have sent their children out into the country and at one farm there are eleven children being cared for, the oldest being nine years of age. It is said that the cause of the epidemic cannot be found and that the sick have been taken with the hardest form of the disease. BIRTHDAY OF “OLD GLORY.” Washington, D. C., June 14.— Flag Day, the anniversary of the adoption of the red, white and blue, as the national embiem, was more generally observed in the national capital today than ever before. From public bujldings, business houses and ‘thousands of private residences, Old Glory waved triumphantly. Penn- sylvania avenue, always the main artery of the capital. was today es- pecially the current where the stream of national pride showed itself. ITun- dreds of flags were ficating on both sides of the thoroughfare.. Special exercises in observauce of the day were held at several of the govern- ment department offices and in all of the public schools. The American flag was ddopted by Congress one hundred and thirty-five years ago today. There has long been a dispute as to who originated the design of the flag. George Wash- ington and Benjamin Franklin ap- proved the design, and Betsey Ross, wife of John Ross, sn upholsterer, living in Arch stfect, Philadelphia, made the one which the congress of the original thirteen states adopted, and it is the same flag today except that a star has been added as often 88 & new state has boen admitted in- to the Union.

To stimulate all the interests and activities of the communities where such a “week” is held. To promote a better understanding between the body of citizens and the men and women who are trying to serve them.
