Unburdening Taft. They think the shoulders of President Taft three burdens whifh he has carried long have been removed. Some go so far as to say that in no other way could they have faced the coming fight with any chance of success. They do not say that Taft has been responsible for all these acts, but they point with pride to ih'? good effect they will have upon the country. It is understood, in Beverly at least, in Mr.

Ballinger, Speaker Cannon an 1 Senator Aldrich the insurgents have found more material for their battles with the regulars than' in anything the Taft administration has done or has failed to do It is said in some quarters that the in. Kansas and nger, tho or Cannon and Senator Aldrioh feol that the Republican toward the fal' Iowa are to bo attributed to the fact that tho insurgents harped much upon the connection between the ad ministration and these three men. Neither Secretary Ballinger, Senator Aldrich or Speaker Cannon found hi? crimination tasteful, it is said here The senator announced his retirement months ago. but for a time there was a feeling that he might run again just the same if pressed to do so. Sacrificed For Party's Sake.

Secretary Ballinger has always declared that he would not retire. But both he and Senator Aldrich were per suaded, so the story goes, to sacrifice themselves for the good of the party. Speaker Cannon, by his speeches in Kansas, some of those in touch with affairs declare, did much to help th insurgents gain a victory. That fact perhaps was the last straw that determined those who are attempting the rejuvenation of the party to tell Cannon, if be does not know It already, that he must not run for speaker again. It is said on behali of Uncle Joe that he has already tofil close friends that he was not to be considered in the contest for the I speakership if the next house goes Republican.

In tbe effort to bring about thte end the party leaders have flocked to Beverly of late. Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock, real head of the Republican national committee, has been to Beverly twice in the last few days. Hitchcock would not reveal to what extent tne national committee and the congressional campaign would collaborate this fall, hut it is known there will be collaboration and determined effort. In political moves that he will make in the future, as in some he has made in the past, the president will use Senator Crane and Mr.

Hitchcock as well as Representative McKInley and Secretary to the President C. D. Norton. BOimi METHODISTS' REUNION STOLE A ROLL OF BUTTER Preparing for a Great Celebration to Be Stranger Entered Gen. White's Spring Held Next February.

Tbe story Id reprinted from the Tacoma (Wagh.) Ledger, of August 7. Mrs. W. P. Thompson, of 236 Sooth street, was brought down from Paradise valley on Friday evening suffering rom a painful wound in ner foot, licted by the point of an' alpenstoCK.

On Thursday Mra. Thompson was one- of a party to start from Reese's for Cowlitz rocks. She is an excellent climber and tramped at the head of the party, close to the' guide, the way. After viewing the panorama of mountains, sky and clouds from Cow- iiz rocks, the party started gaily on tbe return trip. The tramp over the nile and a half of snow8elds which bound the rocks on one side, was and, as a steep'ridge of snow was approached, coasting was suggested, mmediately the idea was seized upon he more daring members of the party.

Mrs. Thotnpson'was one of the first leach the bottom of the incline and as she was standing shaking the wet now from her skirts and rubbing tbe linding drops from her eyes, an alpenstock, sent point foremost by ther coaster, came whizzing down the 00-yard slide. It struck'her foot Jnsfr iack of the ankle bone, leaving a gash neat and deep aa though inflicted a bayonet. Mrs. Thompson was immediately iroatrated, not knowing what had truck her.

£The guide and others ushed to her assistance, but aside ram removing the spear point of the tock, there was nothing to be done or the sufferer. With a courage out of all ratio to er petite proportions, Mrs. Thompson walked the three miles of snow and ocks to camp. Miss Ellen Moe, a rained nurse who was spending week at Reese'a, dressed the wound, 1 equisitioning all the disinfeslanta and andaging in camp. Later in the day Dr.

Hayes, of Seattle, returned from climb and administered opiates dnr- ng the night when the pain became nbearable. On Thursday morning Mrs. Thompson lode down to Narada falls on a pony, took the stage from that place to the Inn and reached Tacoma via the Tacoma Eastern at 6:10 Friday evening. While the wound ia most painful, jft is not considered dangerous by physician or the nurse. IMPROVING CRAMER TURNPIKE Road Be Oiled and a Pleasure Retort Opened.
