Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron. but because
each package contains Is Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in y pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a
12-oz. package it is. because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose OF before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs" Demand
Defiance and save much time ana
money and the annoyance of the iron

Earliest Christians Celebrated Easter
With PRAYER and Sacrifice.
lis ORIGIN AND pATE


The Semitic always took his re-
ligion much harder than the Aryan,
and the spring celebration of the lat
tsS took the form of feasting, dancing
land having fun, while the former had
prayer, sacrifice and an ever-growing
ritual to be observed From these
earlier Semitic ancestors the Jews de-
rived their feast of unleavened bread,
the sacrifice of the Paschal lamb and
other observances of that season, the
origin of the custom being forgotten
in the legend of the Passover.
The earliest Christians, being them
selves originally Jews, continued this
celebration with new significance,
the death of Christ being to them the
sacrifice of the Pascha1 lamb. When
the celebration was taken up by the
non-J ewish Christians, they made it a
point to get as far away as possible
from everything Jewish, and made it
purely a celebration of the Resurrec-
ton, without reference to the coinci-
dent Passover. They determined,
furthermore, that the festival should
fall on the Sunday following the ter
mination of the Paschal feast, but it
was several centuries before the au-
thorities at Rome decided upon the
basis OF caaculations for the deter
mination of the full moon. upon which
Baster depended.

there was touch of it in his voice

Slowly, without word the Child
turned away from the big organ. AS

sound OF a smothered sob.

The Child came back, the hot blood
surging over his face, and stood with

his fingers over the keys.

A FEUD IN INDIANA
The Continuation of It Left Three
 Dead and One Fatally Wounded.

Bryantsville. Ind, June 14.-Three are dead and two wounded, one fatally, as the result of a duel fought on the streets of this village today. The fight was the continuation of a feud between the Rout and Tow families. whis has eX- isted for several years. The Routs re- side at Bedford, eight miles east of Bryantville and the Tow boys are f2rm- CTS near here. The latter are relative s of the New family, which participated in the notorious Tow-Bass feud, which made a bloody record in southern Indi- ana. A free gravel road election was being held here today and the little village of 300 was crowded. Farmers from the surrounding country gathered and there had been considerable drink ing. The fight took place in front of the election booth.
 There is doubt as to who fired the first shot. Each of the five men drew revolvers and each side advanced, fir ing. The men were not fifteen feet apart when the firing ceased and on the ground three lay dead, one dying, with a bullet through his neck and one still stood, with a bullet through his arm and one in his side.
 None of the bystanders was struck. although over twenty-five shots were fred. The excitement was intense.

Santa Fe, Y. NJ, June 4.-Govern0r OterO has sent the following message to an eastern newspaper in reply to a request for his opinion on the proposed deporta tions of citizens of Colorado to New Mexico, My view is that no diff ference should be shown between eap- tai and labor in their respective pcs.- tions so far as the law is concerned. New Mexico has no objection to any citizens who respect cur laws and We are able to uphold them under any and all conditions. If depCrted citizens of Colorado conduct themselves in a law
 abiding manner. they will be welcome; if not, they are coming to a poor place.
 as the laws of this territory will be upheld without regard to consequences, so long as I am governor. We will not
 however, tolerate dictation from any source, and those wishing to work will receive full protection under cur laws"

RESTORATION OF ORDER
Military Rule at Cripple Creek Will be Ended Within a Week The Civil Authorities Will be Strengthened for the Handling of the Situation.

Cripple Creek. Colo. June 14.-Thirty six men. nearly all of whom are union men CT union symDathizers. were de- ported from tLis district this afternoon. The deportation order. which was made public tonight. plainly states that the men are to be taken to the southern boundary of Colorado. via AlamOsa. on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, and deposited upon territory within the boundary of the state of Colorado"
 Preparations are under way here looking to the eventual abrogation of martial law. which it is expected will occur within one week A list of men who will act in the capacity of deputy sheriffs and patrol the district under Sheriff Bells direction. is already be- ing prepared. Aside from the depOrta- tions, there were no important develop ments in the military situation today.
 It was given out in the sheriff's of fee that valuable clues have been un- ea:thcd in connection with the Inde- pendcnce crime. when fourteen miners were hurled into eternity by the eX- plOsiOn Of a mine. It is now believed by the authorities that the assassin was picked up ct Clyde by two men, said to be desperate characters. who were seen to drive from the scene of the explosion. An accurate description of the men is in the hands of the au- thCrties and although they have had the advantage of a weeks start, it is believed that they will be apprehende and the clue run down.
 An alarm system has been inaugural cd in the district by Sheriff Bell and should necessity arise, the shIill blast of a whistle giving the signal, will communicate a message from mine to mine. It is estimated that within five minutes 1000 men can ba assembled and ready to act according to the sheriff $ instructions.
 Col. Verdeckberg, tonight gave to the Associated Press the following official order:
 Headquarters Teller county military district. national guard of Colorado, Victor, June A. 19O4: Special order No. 19. No organization will be all lowed. while this county is under rili- tary control to furnish aid in any form to the members of any organization or their families in this county unless the same is done through military channels. Major Thomas E. McClelland. is provost marshal of this military district, and he stands ready to receive from any per- son or organization any money or other supplies which are for distribution, to any person, rendered needy by reason of the military occupation of this coun- ty for the suppression of insurrection, and all money and other supplies so furnished will be applied to the relief of the persons above referred to-"

 who believe in honesty in politics ami are opposed to the burglarious methods
 which are now being employed to foist upon the party a speechless candidate and a meaningless platform.
 The argument made in favor oe Judge Parker is not that he is in any
 way fitted for the position, because his fitness cannot possibly be ascertained
 without kboNledse of his views on
 public questions. The argument ma,!-
 by his friends Is tAat he can win and they base their belief on the fact that
 he has never gaid SnythiEg in conne.- ton with pending questions and he has
 no record that can be used against hifn. His virtues arc purely negative, and his friends think it sufficient that the demo- crats send him forth as a candidat..
 with the endorsement we know nothing
 against him.
 Tt is the first dime in recent years at least, that man has been urged for

 his opinions are unknown. Surely the democratic party Is !H desperate straits

On the other hand, the Japanese have accomplished little. despite that they took the offensive at the start. Their obvious plan to rout General KUropat- kin before he becomes too strong, has been delayed by the necessity of as surfing the mastery of the sea. which is imperiled as long as the Port Arthur squadron remains in being. This fact. and none other, in the opinion of the paper, is responsible for the siege of Port Arthur. Had the squadron not been there the Japanese would never have stopped to r-duce the fortress, but would have combined their land forces to crush General Kuropatkln.
