IIOSEBUHQ, OREGON. MONDAY EVENING, JUNE IS. J008. NO. ;. lUWm W 11 10111 n i ' Fire Demon Visits Boswell Springs at Midnight LAMP SAID TO HAVE UPSET Loss Estimated at $15,000, Without ltisaraucb Ydlaed Works of Art Consumed Special to tlie Eveuing Review. DKAJN, Or., June 15. About midnight last night, fire totally des troyed the hotel at Boswell Springs, two miles Bouth of here, together with all of its' contents. While the origin of the fire is not definitely known, it is reported that it was caused by the upsetting of a lamp. This famous health resort, which was owned and operated by the lute Capt. Ben D. Boswell, for about twenty years previous to and up to the time of bis death, which occurred a year ago last May, and since that time by his widow, was originally known as Snowdon Springs, a name derived from the first settler on the premises. Many people throughout the entire northwest have been greatly benefitted and many cures have been effected by the use "of the ' water at these springs aud the loss Is very unfortunate, coining as It has just at the opening of tbe season. The house, which was quite a large building, contained much val uable furniture and bric-a-brac and many splendid and valuable paint ings, la which latter art Mrs. Bos well was highly accomplished, und Was surrounded by a very choice col lection of roses aud other beautiful flowering plants. Many improve ments have been made within the past few years, both in the building nnd its surroundings and it is ex tVfidiugly unfortunate that it should be thus wiped out and especially so on account of there being not a cent y of insurance on the destroyed prop erty, so we are informed. It is quite unlikely that Mrs. Boswell will try to rebuild. The property loss, all things considered, is probably not jf less than 15,000. There was only one guest in the hotel when the fire occurred, a lady, and she lost her en tire wardrobe. Fred Wilcox, who has been em ployed here as a clerk in tbe S. P. freight depot, leaves next week on his return to Grants Pass. Lee Dillard, of the Marsters Drui; Co., and Simon Caro, the local cloth ier, are opposing candidates for school director at a school election being held In this city th it' after noon. The Lane school house Is tbe polling place, and up till 4 o'clock this afternoon 95 votes had bee:i registered. Balloting will close at 6 o'clock this evening. The annual report of Miss Clara Dillard, the dis trict clerk, shows that during the year just closed the bonded indebt edness of the local schools de creased almost $6,000. This 1b an excellent record for the board of di rectors, which consists, of M. F. Rice, B. W. Strong, J. C. Fullerton, J. A. Buchanan and Louis Barzee. The director to be retired by today's election is Mr. Rice, who ends four years' effliclent service. TO WHOM IT MAY COXCKR.V.

(iOKS FISHING; lOKS.VT RETURN i:::::::C01LD NOT AGREE Chas. Troub lti-lk-t uwuy or Drowned. Anxious relatives are searching for some trace of Charlfcs Troub, who has mysteriously disappeared from the Sheridan farm, one mile south of town, where he resided with bis wife's step father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Spriugsted. Troub, who Is a little past 21 years of age and the father of two children, who with their mother live witli the Sprlngsteils, left home yesterday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock, with a rod and line, stating that he was going fishing. That was the last seen of him. Naturally ularmed at his failure to return, .Mr. Springsted this morning began a search along the bank of the river that Hows past the premises and about one-half mile west of the house came upon Troub's rod and line, the line minus the hook. Springsted's first thought was that Troub had been drowned in some manner, lie had been in the habit of going in swimming, but there was no cluthing at the spot to support such a theory. Springsted then made a search up and down river for a considerable distance, but discovered no further trace ofothe missing man. Not snilsncd, how ever, he employed some men to senreh and drag the rver from a bout and this work is now being perform ed. At this time of the year the wa ter Is low and the bottom of the riv er can be seen in most places, ren dering the work of the searchers comparatively easy. There is a theory that Troub de liberately left the country, framing up the fishing expedition merely to hide his real Intention. So far as learned, however, his domestic life was perfectly happy, so he could have had no reason for leaving his home on account of family matters. Previous to coining west from Ohio about two months ago Troub indulg ed In a runaway escapade, and this affords ground for the belief that he has done the same thing again. Troub Is described as being of medium height, weighing about 1 til) pounds, being smooth shaven, having light, curly hair aud blue eyes. lie wore a brown cap, t brown coat, soft shirt, blue bibbed overalls and rubber-heeled shoes.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 14. It is all over at Denver but the shoutug. William J. Bryan Is absolutely as sured of the Democratic nomination. This Is the aunnuuecincnt of the Nebraska publicity bureau maintain ed by the friends of Bryun iu his own state. Conventions have been held In all of the states and territories but ten.

The Ramblers, Roseburg 's second team, was defeated by the Wilbur "Reds" at Winchester yesterday. The cause of their defeat is laid to the inability of two of their best players to play.

Republican National Convention Opens Tomorrow TAFT ON FIRST BALLOT Fight (or Second Place Harrows Down lo Senator DolIIver and Sec retary Cortelyoa Special to the Eveninw Review. CHICAGO, June 16. Trumpeting wildly and with the scent of battlo in hia proboscis, a trillo lingered, perhaps, by tho prodding of ambi tious ones who are attempting to climb upou his buck, but still sound of wind und limb and eager for the fray, tho old war eloimnnt or the Grand Old Party was again led forth iu Chicago today. It is well that the aged Delist of burden Is In good con dition, for It the enthusiasm of the Tuft boomers today is any criterion, the G. O. P. ulnphaut will have a hefty candidate to carry la this years race. While the main show In the Coliseum will not open., until noon tomorrow, prnctlcolly. all tho performerB, scene shifters and aud ience are uo win tbe city and every tuvern In the big town 1b displaying a "btunding room only" sign. While many of the thirteen preced ing national conventions of the Re publican party have not been lack ing iu spectacular features, this year's performance" promises to be the liveliest in Ub history. While all the surl'uce indications point to the speedy nomination of Taft, probably on the II rut ballot, the specter of a "second elective term" and a stam pede to Roosevelt Ib still looming In the background. Not all of the allies have yet given up hope nnd the sup porters of Hughes, Fairbanks. Knox and Cannon are nt times unable (o make themselves heard above the deafening din of tho Taft men. The candidates for vice-president are also receiving much intention from the delegates and thousands of politicians and the supporters uf tbe various nien now in the field are urg ing the merits of their favorites with the greatest vehemence Thoro is general talk today that Fulrbanks may succeed hlnuelf, but this is strenuously denied by delegates from btates having favorite Bona of their own. From all Indications the fight for second place has narrowed down to Hecrttary Cortelyou and Senator liolll 'or, with tho chances favoring the lutter because he Is understood to he the choice of Tuft. .Manager Frank 11. Hitchcock,0 of the Tafl headquarters, Is claiming 7 JO votes for his candidate on the first ballot find declares that no oth er ctndttiote will be seriously core sldered. As only 491 votes are nec essary to nominate, a loss of 200 from this estlinute would still leave Taft the victor. Manager Humphrey of the Hughes headquarters alleges that the New York candidate will re ceive not lesB thu:: 125 votes on tho first ballot. Many prominent negro Republi cans are In Chicago today aud this morning commenced a confereuce at the ulnn chupel. Speeches announc ing opposition to Taft were made, but no spr.-iHc favoritism as to candl dutes was shewn. No portraits have been allowed among the embellishments of the Coliseum. The convention hail will he absolutely "iry" during the con vention. It having been decided that "no liquor shall be sold, served or brought to tho convention hall." It Is generally believed that the Taft platform will be adopted as u declaration of principles by the con vention. In regard to the tariff, the plank will rear): "In government, we stand for ft revision of the tariff by a special Menaiuii of the next Congress, Insur ing the nialnteniinco of the true prin ciples of protection by imposing such customs duties as will equal the dif ference between the cost of produc tion at home and abroad, together with a reasonable profit, to the end that, without excessive duties, Am erican manufacturers, farmers, pro ducers and wage-earners may have adequate protection." With a view of doing away with srtiTie of the evil effects of the cur rency law Jsut enacted there will be t pledge that the next congress shall take up the currency question nnd enact a permanent law that will es tablish safe and satisfactory mone tary conditions and relieve the busi ness of the nation from the feat of panic. It Is also understood thnt there will be a plank lavoring anii-injunc- Inul.lflllr.n .ml nlh.r If'trUlll t ll 111 favorable to labor, which Secretary Taft Is known to bhvocstp earnestly, and that something will be said r co- prcling the rights of the negroes and I the progress made by that ruce, in I tended to counteract the effect of Foraker's agltatlou of the BrowuE flle question. The Roosevelt policies respecting the regulation of railroads, the pro secution of trusts, nnd the conserva tion of natural resources are to be Indorsed and their continuance promised. According to the present understanding the whole document will be one that Taft can himself ac cept and that the country will ap prove. 1 he convention will be called lo order at noon tomorrow by Chairman Marry S.
