(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 21-(Speclal Tele gram.) At the meeting of the Polk county delegates to the state convention this sfter noon resolutions were adopted stating in substance that as there was understood to be talk of protesting the Polk county dele gates it wss the sense of the meeting that the chairman should appoint a committee of five to look after the rights of the Polk county delegation. The resolutions pledged the delegates to carry out the spirit of the Tolk county primary by voting for all candidates who received a majority of the primary vote. . The committee appointed to take steps to see that the Polk county delegation Is seated Is judge Carr, Senator Cheshire, Harvey Ingham, Judge Prouty and N. E. Coffin. Rrpnbllean Committee Called. Chairman R. H. Spence haa Issued a formal call for a meeting of the republican state central committee to be held In this city Monday, July 30, at 0 a. m. This will be two days before the state convention meets. A great deal of Important business Is on hand for the committee and the addi tional meeting before the state convention was therefore made necessary. This year there will be more than ordinary work on hand for the district caucuses and It is likely that, the central committee will de cide to call tha .district caucuses for the night before the convention. Heretofore It has been the custom for the delegates from congressional districts to meet la caucuses and each dlstrltt name one mem ber of the credentials , committee, one member of the resolutions, one of th permanent organization and a member of the state central committee for the ensuing year. These caucuses are held at V o'clock the morning of the convention and are held before the convention to economise time of the convention. The nomination of the caucuses are always accepted by the con vention, which meets at 10:30 o'clock. Be cause of the large number of contested counties it 1 proposed to call . these caucuses the night before, so they will have plenty of time to fight out their con tests and make their nominations. The committee will consider, this at Its meet ing. There are also other business matters lor the committee to attend to. It i ex pected this year that the delegates to the state convention will begin to arrive in this city as early as Saturday night, July 2S, and It is confidently expected that there will be many delegates here by Sunday.

Both the driver and myself were drowsy and nodded from the effects of the scorch lag sun. Suddenly the lead horses Jumped out of the road, which brought us to ouf senses. A large western redtall hawk that was circling over our heads had cast Its passing shadow on the sand directly befor the horses, causing tbem to shy. W commented on th rather singular coincident and watched the big bird as. In large circles, he gracefully floated through the air, with scarcely a movement of the wings. Suddenly a "Jackrabbit," started by the rattle of the stage. Jumped frqm It cover In the shade ot a yucca plant and shook Its legs over the sandy expanse and shook fully fifteen feet apart. It had not made ten Jumps when the hawk spied it, and half falling, half tumbling through the air he descended to within fifty feet of the earth and started in pursuit. The "Jack" had gained a good lead before It discovered that It was being chased, but on seeing the hawk It bent every muscle In Its sinewy legs In an effort to outstrip Its amatlant. Gradually the hawk drew near until he was almost over the "Jack," then, bowing his wings, he dropped through th lr like a falling meteor. With feet extended and talons outstretched he was about to snatch up his prey, when the "Jack" stopped short and squatted flat on the sand. The hawk overshot his mark a foot or more. but. In stead of turning back, he arose in the same graceful curve In which he descended, thus describing a large U. No sooner had he started upward than the "Jack" waa again coursing over . the desert like a shot from a gun. , It had gained fully fifty yards before the hawk overtook it and again attacked It. Once more the "jack" eluded the charge In the same manner. By this time the chase had become so exciting that the driver halted hla horses and we both stood up on the seat, clinging to each other and watching with bated breath the outcome of the struggle. "The 'Jack' can't keep that pace up much longer; it's pretty well tuckered out. now. The hawk'U catch It next time sure," exclaimed the driver as the combatants gradually drew near. But before the hawk had a chance again to swoop down the "Jack" . reached a bunch, of chaparral, where It took shelter. The hawk circled over the bushes and then dove headlong Into them, but the "Jack"' moved Its position as the bird was about to atrlke it and again escaped -death. The "Jack" evidently thought It safer to fight in the open than in the hushes, for a the hawk arose It started off again, thia time heading for a bunch of cattle that was feeding about 200 yards away.. The hawk made, his fourth unsuccessful attack while the'dlstance was being covered by the hare, but before he was ready for another swoop 'the ''Jack" had outstripped his pursuer, and dashing up to one of the ateers. darted between his front and hind legs and stopped. There It remained. The hawk seemed to be completely out witted. He circled about a ' few times, then, as If thoroughly disgusted, sailed off and was soort lost to view. The "Jack" was still under the steer when we drove on. It waa quite evident to ua that the "Jack" Intended to use the steer for a shield from the moment that it left the chaparral, but whether It did so because it thought that the hawk would be afraid of so large an animal a a steer, or because the creature afforded better protection from onslaughts from above. Is a question that the reader will have to solve for himself. St. Nicholas. TWO MINES JN A JACKPOT Englishman Piny the Limit, Wins and Finds I.eadvllle Claim a ' Gold Brick. , Risking a presumably valuable location among the diamond mines in Cape Town, South Africa, against a mining property In Leadvllle and winning both mines. Captain Oliver Jenkins of the English cavalry haa Just returned from Ieadvllle after a month'a careful examination only to find th Leadi vllle property worthiese. He left over th Burlington for the east and will proceed at once to hla home In Liverpool. Captain Jenkins, who waa located In Jo hannesburg during the Boer war, became possessed of a mining property In the Cape Town province. In the very center of the district that was at that time producing it good share of all the diamonds that were being exported. Hla time being fully occu pied by his military duties, however, the Englishman had never taken opportunity to Investigate Jiis property, although believ ing It to be very valuable. About three years ago .Captain Jenkins became acquainted with an American who gave his nam aa William Everltt and hi home aa Denver. Everltt was touting the world and spending several months In South Africa. On night during a poker gam th two mine were wagered agalnat each other, both finally going to the Englishman. After th war waa over he Inveatlated th South African property. Into which he sank much money, only to find It worthies Then, hearing great tale of the richness of the mines In the Rocky mountains, th Englishman decided to visit this country In the hopes of finding his American prop erty more valuable than the South African mine. After the journey of 6,000 mile to the Leadvllle mine, a month ot hard work showed his mine to be a bar spot on a bleak mountain om thirty miles from Leadvllle and possessing not the slightest value. "It proved to be about an even thing, though," he said. "If Everltt had won my diamond mine he wouldn't have gained any more than I did In aecurtng th Leadvllle mine." Denver Time.

Th average village store In a small set- tlement on th coast, especially If It be a fishing hamlet In Maine, Is a unique place, tor there every evening, stormy or pleas ant, gather th veteran fishermen and re tired skippers for a "pipe-smoke" and evening chat with their neighbors, and usually some Interesting and exciting yarns are related by the oldest In the group. The aged seamen are not particular as to seats, and the snap boxes, nail kegs and dilapidated chair that have been whittled for years past by every owner of a Jack knife that takes a seat, are al ways In demand, for It Is th company present that holds the steady loafers until the hour for closing arrives, and, while the tobacco smoke rolls up to the low celling In thick clouds and the big "barrel" siove is kept at rever heat, the best story teller Is th center or attraction. Th proprietor of the country store, who is a man of Importance In the small set tlement, usually keeps everything that might be called for during the aeason, and Is usually the regular postmaster of the village and an authority on all subjects that come up for discussion. He is always respected by tha villagers who pa-" the time around his stove every night during the winter and spring. The usual crowd was present on the evening in question, the tobacco smoke was thick from a doaen pipes going steadily, while the smokers blew out the dense smoke from their rhouths, and among tho collection were seated several retired fish ermen who had followed the coast fishing for half a century In all kinds of weather, then had been obliged to quit for the younger growth. Provocation for Gray Hairs. Among the group was Captain Jeremiah MacDonagal, who had Just made his ap pearance and taken a acat, after nodding at hla neighbors; his hair was as white as th newly fallen snow, and he had retired a few year ago from active life on the water, yet always was on hand to Join In the conversation, and, aside from his lameness from rheumatism, was able to' get about with his stout cane. "Jeremiah," spoke up one of the men In the circle, "I'm a respecter ot gray and white hairs, but I've noticed that for the past twenty-five years your hair his been white, and thought there might be somo reason for it, for, as I remember you In my younger days, you had regular black hair, and it seemed to change kinder sud denly, as I noticed It when I got' back from a long sea voyage.

"You all know me for a regular fisher man nothing else always on tha spot when, there waa anything to catch, always on th move for 'em during my younger days, an' nvr so much to home as when on the deck ot a fishing schooner trying to yank 'em In on th hooks.

"Well, all of a sudden, In the distance, I spied some fishermen In their boata, throw ing out their lines as unconcerned as If nothing wss going on, but the fish holding me up seemed to b heading for them boats all right, so I held my peace and waited to see how It would turn out.
