Mayor Dahlman said Thursday morning
that the recount that has been made In a
few counties on the request of Governor
Phallcnberger has so signally failed to
change the results that the whole matter
will probably be dropped a far aa his slm
' Her request Is concerned and he Is sitting
back In his chair, literally speaking, wait
ing for the governor to admit his defeat.
A complete oount of mlnety counties
shows that the mayor leads by only 108
votes and this narrow margin. Is not de
cisive enough to Insure a very prompt ad
mission of defeat from Shallenberger.
The recounts In the thirteen counties
which Shallenbwger expected to turn the
tables for him are progressing. Hall county
reduced Dahlman's vote by four and added
two to the governor's, making Dahlman's
majority on the recount 241 Instead of 247.
In the other counties one or two votes bava
changed hands.
v Arcsted of Sharp Tactics.
Ay No more messages have been exchanged
Tetween the two candidates. Tom Flynn,
manager for the mayor, accuses the gov.
ernor's supporters of rather sharp tactics
In their recount requests.
"They waited," says Flynn. "until Just
before the time limit had expired and then
fired In their affidavits for the thirteen
counties where they think they could get
mote votes. Our affidavits to all the
counties were sent out aa quickly as pos
sible after this, bit In some of the coun
ties where the returns had been In for
three days we were too late. Of course,
we are not cut out of our chance In most
cf the outlying places, but we were beaten
out of a part of them and we wanted every
vote In the atate rtcounted. The next move
Is up to Shallenberger If he persists we
i ill have to keep up our work, otherwise
we will quit since the nomination is ours."
Muyur Jim received word through Tom
Flynn Thursday from Msyor "Pet" Clay
tun of St. Joseph that Clayton would gladly
Hump the state for a week In "Jim's" be
lialf. Clayton sent his hearty congratula
tions over the report of the nomination
from a fishing resort la Wisconsin.
Shallenherarer's l.aat Resort.
Should Governor Sliallenberger fail in his
remunt of the votes of several oounties to
etcurtt a sufficient number to nominate him
in (he democratic primary, he may play an
other card. He may. If he so desires In
stitute quo warranto proceedings to oust
Dahlman from the head of the ticket,
should he be given the certificate of nomi

fraud made In Itouglas county, regardless
of the fact that no provision for this sp

who has been directing the governor In his
demands for the recount. Insist that when

Conductor Hotchklrs of the North
Twenty-fourth street line stole a march on
evil circumstances Thursday rooming, so
he thought, but he soon found It was a
mistake and that he bad made a bad
break. Hotchklsa bss learned that his Job
is one to be filled by a stole, that comfort
loving dispositions don't go and that an
overcoat in August Is a piece of serious
Impropriety.
When the conductor peeped out of bis
dour at four bells In the inorniag and got
his nose Trost bitten, he straightway resur
rected from the closet and the moth balls,
a very .serviceable uniform overcoat, and
thus received the conviction he had check
mated an evil condition. It was not so,
however, as Hotchkias soon learned.
He mingled with the other front and rear
men at .the ear barns with an air of
haughty superiority for a few minutes
waiting for his ear to be mustered out.
Hub complacency grew from tha fact that

Wallace, Idaho.
quai'ters of the St. Joe river are heard
from and fifty-five men under Ranger
Kootkey, believed to be on Clare creek,
the actual number of dead firefighters
will not be known.
It Is variously estimated from tele
graphic reports to tha locsl government
headquarters at Wallace at from 8 to
lOli. That eighty-six are dead is posi
tively established.
A dispatch to Supervisor Welgle from
Ranger Debbitt gives assurances of the
saftey of seventy-two of Ranger Koot

ports one dead under Ranger Rock and
22 of debbltt's men dead on Setser creek.

WALLACE, Ida., Aug. at. The offi
cial estimate of the destruction of timber
say that ten per cent of the Coeur d'A-
lene forest reserve is destroyed. This
Is considered conservative and with the
other timber burned, the loss from this
source can not be less than $20,000,000.
. For the first time In several days the sun
shone through the pall of smoke that has
hung over Missoula, and hopeful reports
came In from all directions. Men reported
as missing are being found. The intensity
of the flames Is greatly reduced by the
snow and rain of last night and all towns
In the fire districts are now out of dan

Is being re-established, and the railroads
are forwarding relief and repair supplies

Indians Gather
For Convention
Over Two Thousand Will Attend An-
"! 'nual - Religions ' Gathering of v
Episcopal Church. - '
MITCHELL, S. D., Aug. 23. (Special).
Over 2,000 Indians from the reservations
at Slsseton. Standing Rock, Cheyenne.
Crow creek. Lower Brule, Pine Ridge and
Santee will meet at Greenwood, near the
Yankton agency, for the anual religious
gathering of the Episcopal church, over
which Bishop Johnson will preside. One
of the sad features will be the absence
of Bishop Hare, who has been meeting
with the Indians in their annual convo
cations for the past thirty years, and It
is probable that a ceremony will be held
in memory of the deceased bishop, who
wits loved and esteemed very highly by
the Indians. The session begins Friday
morning and will last until Monday.
The Indians place much Importace on
their attendance at the Convocation and
will make all kinds of sacrifices to get
there. Many of them . who live so
far from the meeting place that
they are unable to pay railroad
fare drive, the long distance by
team, most of thene coming from the
Standing Rock and Slsseton agencies.
Over 100 teams passed Crow Creek
agency on their way to the convocation.
The Indians are so eager to attend the re
ligious gathering that they think but lit
tle of the discomfort In making such
a long Journey.
Reports will be made, of the increase
In membership of the Indian missions, of
the money that has been raised for ex
penses and what has been paid out dur
ing the year. The Indians are liberal giv
ers to the religious work among them
selves, and are strong supporters of the
work of the church. Thomas Tuttle,
one of the speakers at tha convocation,
stated that the past year has been one
of Increase In practically all departments
of the church work., and that the Indi
ans are becoming more closely Identi
fied with the religious work that Is being
placed before them by the Indian mis
sionaries. GROUND. TO DEATH BY TRAIN

their places, a process of gradually but per.
manently raising the morale of political
and business life, and he said he thought
it his duty to hunt out crooks, and espe
cially crooks In his own party.
"I believe lu party government," he said
"but the moment a question of honesty IS
Involved I recognise no party distinctions,
or, If I do make make any, it ts a little
more my business to put the grafter and
crook out of publlo life If he belongs to
my party than If to another. This attitude
demands that one's attention be fixed not
on financial or social status, but on con
duct." Nearly 400 members of the. Klllcott club
and other cltlsens, representing leading
professional end business Interests and a
wide variety of political af illations, awaited
Mr. Roosevelt's' coming from tha New
York Central station, where he had arrived
from Utlca at :20 In bis private car Re

Crookedness aad Grafting.
As the ex-presldent entered he was
cheered and "America" was sung, with ths
backing of a regimental bene ; Breakfast
was expeditiously served, as there wai
less than an hour before the time for Mr,
Roosevelt's departure for Chicago- Among
those who got an especallly hearty greet

the table and said some pleasant things, in
which, the words "Bully, glad to see you,"
recurred.
Mr. Roosevelt made good use of the fif
teen minutes' available for his remarks.
The men who heard him,, who noted his
earnestness In dealing with the subject of
crookedness and grafting, and who fre
quently brone in wnn snarp applause,
had In mind his expressions within the
last few days that "They will have all the
fight they want." Mr. Roosevelt first
dwelt on e subject of party local interest
the necessity of preserving unpolluted "the
wonderful fresh water supply of the Great
Lakes."
"We claim to be a civilised people," he
said. "As such we ought to be able to dis
pose of our sewerage without putting
it In drinking water. State end na
tion must combine In preventing further
contamination and In making the purity
of lake water as absolute as possible. So
also In the field of morals, public and do
mestic," he continued, "there must be no
pollution of the sources."
This led naturally to his grimly earnest
expression of Intention to seek out and
bring to accounting grafters, big and little.
Against All Crooka.
"Dlstruct; however," he sold, "financiers
who can only see crookedness In grafting
small politicians end grafting leaders, dis
trust also those who can sea it only in the
financiers. Yeti must attack a man be
cause he Is crooked. If poor and crooked,
attack biro. If rich, and crooked, attach
him. In fact, attack the rich crook a trifle
stronger. Tea. I will put It-attack him
very strongly."
The gathering at the station had been
considerably augmented during the hour.
Standing on the rear platform of his car,
Kr. Roosevelt waved his hat as the train
ulled out westward shortly after 7:30.
When Colonel Roosevelt appeared on tha
rear-end platform at Dunkirk, N. T., hs
was met by a large gathering of railroad
men.
"I have always admired the railroad men
because they have certain qualities I Ilka
to think of aa typical of Americana. They
know how to act, each for himself, and
also In combinations. They know how to
work. They know how to obey orders and
how to act, each on his Individuality. Tha
average American in our political, Indus
trial and social life must show Just thess
traits."
The train moved off as some of the men
shouted, "Do them up In the convention,
Teddy." Colonel Roosevelt smiled broadly,
but made no reply.
Great Crowd at Krle.
