The passenger coaches and sleepers left the track but did not turn over, and beyond a severe shaking none of the occupants were hurt. MILWAUKEE. Aug. 3L — Eastbound train No. 4 on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road arrived about twelve hours late, due to a washout at Tate City, Minn. The trainmen reported that the smaller streams which feed Lake Pepin are raging torrents.

L WRNY INCREASE FOR NORTHEST Department of the Co- lumbia Will Be Strengthened. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 8L—A number | of important ordess;relative to’the De- | partment of the Columbia have just been | ssued by the War Department. Under | the command of a colonel of the Eighth | Infantry now returning from the Philip- pines with his men the small quota of | men now on duty at Fort Lawton will be increased so that at least 400 men will | be regularly stationed there. With this | large assignment of men increasing the | rank of the post, a great deal of im- | provement work will be ordered, provid- ing for the transformation of the area | about the quarters into a beautiful mili- tary park. The orders in so far as they affect the inprovements of the Eighth Infantry mean considerable to this department, for it is readily apparent from them that the | War Department intends that hereafter this regiment will be a permanent branch of the Department of the Columbia. | Colonel Dougherty of the regiment will | be stationed at Fort Lawton. With his | men the fort will have five companies. Upon the arrival of the Eighth Infantry to pitch tents. and live under canvas at | Lawton for some time to come, as quar- | ters to accommodate only two companies | of men are now at the post. Captain Richardson has been relieved: from dutv as aide de camp on the staff ' of General Randall in command of this department and has been detailed as | construction quartermaster to take | charge of the building of a new post at Halnes. Captalin Richardson has been or- dered to proceed to BSeattle and here awalt further instructions from the quartermaster general. 'When the fort is in condition to accommodate the troops it will be given a full complement of four | companies. The One Hundred and Twen- ty-sixth Company of Coast Artillery, now | stationed at Skagway, will be relieved im- ! mediately and will return to the Puget Bound, where it will take station in Fort Flagler. Two companies of the Highth | Infantry in command of a major of that | regiment have been ordered to replace the coast artillery at Skagway. GRAIN FIELD FIRES ALARM INSURANCE MEN San Francisco Firms Uneasy About Premiums on the Product in Washington. TACOMA, Aug. 31..—Fires in the grain fields of Eastern Washington are causing such heavy losses that San Francisco in- gurance men are considering the advisa- bility of either withdrawing the grain in- | surance or greatly increasing the pre- miums. There were six fires in grain flelds around Colfax last week. Last year the season was very dry and the loss from fires amounted to many times more than the total sum secured in premiums. By special precautions requlreg by the poli- cies issued this year it was hoped to mini- nize the losses, but the results are not satisfactory. In several instances fires have started in grain separators, running through the machines to straw stacks. Sparks from traction engines have also started a number of fires. | WIND AND RAINSTORM DOES GREAT DAMAGE Many Houses Are Unroofed in the Southern Portion of Nebraska. 3 LINCOLN, Nebr. Aug. 3L.—Southeastern Nebraska last night suffered severely from a fierce wind and rain storm. At Acburn houses were unroofed. The roof of the largest department store in the town was blown away and the goods soak- | ed. Falling trees broke electric wires, and the town was in darkness. Near Nebraska City two inches of rain fell in an hour. The country was flooded, and several bridges were washed away.

ACTIVE FIGHT AMONG DEMOCRATS FOR CHAIRMANSHIP OF CONVENTION George S. Patton of Los Angeles Enters the Field as a Rival of J. F. Coonan of Humboldt County---The Leading Candidates for Gubernatorial Nomination Are Lane, Geary and Toland | ACRAMENTO, Aug. 81.—Delegates to the Democratic State Conven- tion are arriving on every train. There was quite a large gathering at the Golden Eagle and Capital hotels to-night, and this would indicate a large attendance. Secretary Thomas E. Curran of the State Central Committee announced to-night that there would be 636 delegates in the convention, and that every one elected at the primaries will be on hand. The secretary and his assistant, Al Mc- Cabe have been busy all day arranging the seating of the convention and prepar- ing the roll call. There is but one con- test, and that is in Glenn, Butte County. There are two sets of delegates, one named by the county convention and the other elected at the primaries. The decoratifhs in the hall will be the same as in the Republican convention. The only changes will be made in the pic- tures on the platform. Washington's likeness will remain, but the photographs of the Republican standard bearers will give way to the men who have distin- guished themselves in the Democratic party. The convention will be opened at 1 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. J. C. Sims, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, will call the dele- gates to order. The band will play and then Mayor Clark of Sacramento will wel- come the delegates in behalf of the city. Nominations for temporary chairman will then be in order and the big fight of the convention will open. On it depends_the selection of the nominee to give Dr. Par- dee battle in the coming campaign. FIGHT FOR CHAIRMANSHIP. Gavin McNab, the Democratic boss of San Francisco, is out for J. F. Coonan of Eureka, Humboldt County. The latter has been working for the past year to se- cure the honor. The proaltlon to Mc- Nab is quietly working for George S. Pat- ten of Los Angeles. If the latter is selec! ed chairman it is understood that ex- Governor Budd will allow his name to go before the convention. McNab wants Franklin K. Lane, the City and County Attorney of San Francisco, nominated for Governor. J. C. Sims, of the State Central Committee, who was mentioned as a_candidate, has withdrawn, as has also Willlam H. Aiford of San Francisco T. O. Toland, a member of the Board of Equalization, is a candidate, as is also Thomas J. Geary of Santa Rosa. It was stated around the hotels to-night that Mayor Snyder of Los Angeles had also withdrawn from the contest. The contest for Assoclate Justice is sharply drawn. Judge Ellsworth Farns- worth of Visalia s In the field. Nicholas Bowden of San Jose, Judge William P. Lawlor and B. K. Trask of Los Angeles are also looking for a place on the ticket. Judge Lawlor will receive the support of the Mendocino delegation. Judge Lawlor is expected here to-morrow. The Sacramento delegation to the con- vention caucused this afternoon. Tempor- ary organization was effected, and the del- egates informally discussed their future action in the convention. It developed that the delegation has three candidates to put before the convention, and the rep- resentatives of this city are in a quan- dary. W. A. Gett is looking for the nom- inafion for Attorney General, E. I. Wood- man wants to be State Printer and Wil- liam J. Hassett hopes to be selected the nomines for Rallroad Commissioner from is district. hAlex Rosborough of Oakland is early on the scene. He Is meking a strong canvass for the nomination for Secretary of State. He has opened headquarters at the Golden Eagle. CANDIDATES’ HEADQUARTERS.

Ray, who wants to be State fenator; T. C. Coogan of San Fran- cigco, who will be a spectator, and Knox Maddox of San Jose. Franklin K. Lane will open headquarters at the Capital Hotel. Candidates for Congress are arriving on the scene. Thomas 8. Ford of Ne- vada County, who hopes to receive the nomineation from the First Congressional District, is here making an active fight. Samuel Butler, gresldenz of the Grass Valley Miners’ nion, is here helpin Ford. Butler is sanguine that Ford will win, as he has been promised the support of a number of mining counties in the district. At a late hour to-night it was learned that ex-Congressman Caminetti of Ama- der County has entered the contest. This news had a disturbing effect on Fora, who_ expected to have easy . sailing. L. F. Puters has also been mentioned as one of the candidates. In the Second Congressional District W. N TRIM FOR A FRAY, MISS DEMOCRACY IS HEADED FOR THE CAPITAL l RN RN F. Cowan of Santa Rosa and Joseph Cralg of Woodland are the candidates. No one has been chosen to be sacrificed in the Third Congressional District. This district is strongly Republican and the Democratic candidate, be he ever so strong, usually goes down to defeat. In the Fourth Congressional District R. P. Troy, at one time secretary to the late Senator Stephen M. White, is a candidate. E. J. Livernash also aspires to the nom- ination. Jackson Hatch of ‘San Jose and Victor A. Scheller of the same city want the nomination in the Fifth Congressional District. The Sixth Congressional Dis- trict will put forth James F, Peck of Merced and ex-Lieutenant Governor Wil- liam T. Jeter of Santa Cruz is mentioned as the other candidate. W. E. Smythe of Los Angeles wants the nomination in the Sixth.

Members of the order will be at- tired in full regalia and will march from the Golden Eagle Hotel to the conven- tlon hall. A mock initiation will be held ard fantastic ceremonies are planned. B e e e tNGINE HURLS CHIEF TO DEATH Noted California Indian the Victim of an Accident. REDDING, Aug. 3L—Old Alexander, chief of the Manton Indians and one of the best known aborigines in Northern California, met with a fatal accident last evening at Delta. The aged chief was standing on the raiiroad bridge and was struck by tho pllot of a locomotive and knocked off. He fell forty feet to the rocks below. The rallroad officlals summoned a physician from Dunsmuir and Indians by the score flocked to their dying leader. Great excitement prevailed, the Indians oppesing the white “medicine man” who was treating Alexander. Finally the In- dians took the chief to his own cabin, where they administered in their own style of treatment to the accompaniment of tribal incantations, but to no avail. Alexander passed to the “happy hunting grounds” soon after the accident. L e e ) NEW ALMADER HERMIT ILLE SAN JOSE, Aug. 3l—Edwin Bowker, a hermit living near New Almaden, was found in the ashes of his burned cabin this morning. The remains were taken to New Almaden and an inquest held. The jury returned a Verdict that the man was killed by a blow on the head and his cabin afterward set on fire. Sheriff Lang- ford is investigating the case, Shaving Mad. An old Scottish minister gave up his toddy for the sake of example. The doc- tor said this change was bad for him, and suggested his taking a dose surreptitious- ly whenever he sent far his shaving water. Some time after the doctor called again, and the old servant met him with tears in her eyes. she exclaimed, “the meenister's gane clean daft, clean daft! He's sending for his shaving wather frae mornin’ tae nicht!"”"—Golden Penny. ———————— Cheap Rates to Washington, D. C. Round trip via Barstow, returning via Ogden, or the reverse, $85.40.

Quite a number of delegates en route to the convention arrived in this city yes- terday and tarried to hear the gossip of | the gubernatorial camps. Among the | statesmen in town last night were Fames F. Farraher and H. Gillis, Siskiyou; | J. J Wells, Tehama: Dr. D. B. Fields, | Trinity; John McGonigle, Ventura; John | Flannagan, George McMullen and James Carothers, Mendocino; Colonel W. D. | Crichton, Judge Harris and W. D. Grady, esno; George S. Patten, Los Angeles: A. A. McCraney, Contra Costa; Thomas J. Geary, Sonoma; John Gaffey, Los An- geles; T. O. Toland Ventura, and J. F. Coonan, Humboldt. The statesmen of the | interior exchanged views with Gavin Mc- Nab, James H. Budd, Frankiin K. Lane, W. J. McGee, Samuel Braunhart, James O'Brien, Charles Gildea, W. D. English and Major P. J. Harney. Several of the unterrified from the rural districts were looking for Thomas Jeffer- son Clunie, Seth Mann, Frank Gould, R. M. Fitzgerald and W. H. Alford. BUDD STILL DECLINES. There was gossip last night that George S. Patten of Los Angeles would be sup- | ported for chairman of the convention by | ex-Governor Budd, English and | John Gaffey. The leading candidate for | chairman 18 J. F. Coonan of Humboldt, | Whose delegation is instructed to support | Thomas J. Geary for the gubernatorial nomination. There are rumors that D. M. Deimas or James H. Budd will be | n;]x‘t into the contest for the chairman- ship. It is the common talk among the dal?-" gates that at least three candidates for Governor will be voted for on the fiist ballot of the convention. These three are | Franklin K. Lane, Thomas J. Geary and | T. O. Toland. It seems reasonably sure that Lane will lead on the first ballot. In | fact, the signs point to his nomination on | the first or second ballot. Delegates from | the fnterior representing two-thirds of the Democratic votes of the State incline to Lane as their first choice, although | Geary will develop considerable strength | in the delegations from the north, and ' Toland will be supported earnestly by | delegates from the region of the State south of Tehachapi. So far all efforts to persuade ex-Gov- ernor Budd to enter the contest have | falled. He assures his friends that he is | not a candidate, yet many of his follow- ers assert that he would accept the re- | sponsibility of party leaders&p it the convention should place his name at.the head of the ticket. Word comes from the Thomas 8. Ford of Nevada Congress on the Democratic ticket in the First District against J. N. Glllette, the Republican nominee. Another breeze from the north wafts the rumor that Robert De Witt of Yreka, Treasurer of Siskiyvou County, is willing to run for Secretary of State on the Dem- ocratic ticket. Log-rolling in_the interest of George 8. Patton’s candidacy for the chairman- ship of the convention was under fair headway at the Palace and Grand hotels at a late hour last night. When asked if his candidacy was favorable to Mr. Toland's cause, Mr. Patton replied: *My candidacy is not In the interest of any particular candidate for Governor.’ B. D north that will run for Modern Methods Save Millions. One of the romances of the census, says the New York Commercial, is the stor‘y‘{)t the cotton seed and the millions of dollars it ylelds annually, where a few years ago the seed was a nulsance, outlawed by the States of the gso_’tton belt. In the Missis- sippi laws of 1857 was one imposing a fine of $20 for every day that cotton seed was left around a ginhou!e to menace public health. In 1870 a process for extracting oll from cotton seed had been discovered, and a product worth $14,000 was realized. What was deemed a nuisance in 1857 con- tinued to prove valuable through inven- tion until the census year of 1900 it gave a return to the mill operators of over $42,- 411,000, Cottonseed oil is used on the ta- ble, rivaling that of the olive and threat- ening to drive the latter from the mar- ket.

Decided Bullish Tendency Is Noticeable on Berlin Boerse. —_— LONDON, Aug. 3L.—The demand for cash, resulting chiefly from the neces- sities of the Stock Exchange and the con-| sols settlements, caused an unusual hard- | ening in the money rates last week and | forced the market to borrow in consider- able amounts. This, combined with the uncertainty of the outlook, resulted in decided increases in the discount rates. | The autumn flow of gold to New York is expected to accentuate the situation.

A Brakeman Suffers Fatal Wound While Assist- ing Comrade. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31L—Charles B. Underwood, a Southern Pacific brakeman, was murdered by an unknown Mexican laborer on North Los Angeles street, half way between Commercial and Aliso streets, at an early hour to-day. The Mexican made his escape. The body of Underwood was sent to the emergency hospital, where an inspection showed that the carotid artery had been severed. The murdered man, with George H. Sal- loway, a Southern Pacific conductor, and ‘W. B. Higgins, a brakeman, were walking along Los Angeles street when Higgins became engaged in an altercation with the Mexican. The Mexican ran away a little distance and then came back at the three. Hig- gins saw him coming and stepped in a doorway. As the Mexican came up Hig- Bins emerged from his place of conceal- ment and demanded to know what he wanted. The only answer he received was a blow in the left breast, probably made with a knife. The weapon struck a heavy nAlv‘er watch in the upper pocket of his vest. Higgins exclaimed that he had been e yeoa by Brussian rallway au. |hurt and Underwood then went after the thorities for rails and steel ties, etc.; the | increased earnings of German railroads | in the month of July; the prospects for increased freight business by raliroad and | steamship companies and better sales of coke.

Turkish rentes were in good de- mand upon the organization of an_ as- sociation of German holders of Turkish securities by the banks of Berlin and Frankfort. The shares of the Hamburg-American and North German Lloyd line scored mod- erate increases during the week upon the news that large shipments of American grain had been engaged. Nevertheless Hamburg sold navigation shares. @ il e BALOON STARTS ON LONG VOYAGE Will Attempt to Reach 1, 1, New York From i Denver. DENVER, Aug. 3L—"Big Glory,” the largest balloon ever constructed, was suc- cessfully started from this city this aft- ernoon on a trip the purpose of which is to break the world's long distance record, as well as all previous records for fast balloon sailing. It is_also intended to ultimately reach New York if possible. The balloon contains 140,000 cubic feet of | hydrogen gas and was built especially for | this trip.

R — Cuban Convicts to Be Freed. NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—Both branches of the Cuban Congress have passed resolu- tions calling for the release of all convicts now confined on the island of Cuba who fought in the Cuban army, says a Havana dispatch to the Tribune. The resolution proposes to be general and irrespective of | the crime of which the ex-soldier was guilty. The proposition met the opposi- tion of some of the most conservative members of the Congress, but the revolu- tionary members succeeded in ggttlng it through. The two branches of Congress have appointed a_committee which is t6 walt on President Palma to-day asking him to take the action desired. The reso- lution proposes that all of the convicts be released on October 10. e FRAGRANCE OF A FLOWER SAID TO BE ITS SOUL TUnder Certain Conditions the Essencs of the Blossom Seems to Be Immortal. the principal manufacturers of pe??:n?efr(es 1‘; the world has declared that he is quite certain that flowers actu- ally possess souls. The fragrance of a flower is really its soul, and it exists when the flower itself has perished. This, he maintains, is not a_poetical fancy, but an established fact. Certainly the fragrance of a flower is not a dead thing. This seems to be a curious statement to make, but it is a fact that when certain condi- tions are fulfilled a part of the life of a flower never seems to die. Although the fragrance of flowers dead years ago may have undergone all sorts of manufactur- ing processes to extract it and to fix it, et it never dies. When the flowers of the ind it was extracted from bloom it ex- hibits a marvelous sympathy. Take, as an example, the case of jon- quils. At the end of the year the smell of the perfume is constant, but in the Spring A change appears. In May, when the jonquils are in full flower, the color- less Tiquid has its scent exalted to a sur- prisingly high degree. When the flowers are in bloom, the bottled essence is very perceptibly stronger in odor. As the flowers droop, so does the perfume lose its potency in strict agreement. This mys- terious sympathy between flower and es- sence never dies, but ever responds to the proper seasons. There is room for reflec- tion in the thought that every scent bot- tle holds the souls of hundreds upon hun- dreds of flowers. An eighty-ounce vase will hold the souls of seven tons of roses. —Toledo Times. ———————————— INCREASE LAST YEAR IN BUFFALO HERDS tears have been shed over the uss;;lgig.?l’ the buffalo that it is something of a surprise to find that these great beasts have actually increased in numbers during the past year by fully 20 gar cent. Tast vear there were living in the Unit- ed States less than 800: this year fuller returns collected by the Department of the Interior report 143.
