American jockey, won the Derby

today Distance about one mile and a
half.
Wool Winder, ridden by Madden.
the English jockey, was second and
Sieve Gallon, an Irish horse ridden by
Higgs, an English jockey, was third.
Orby was bred in Ireland out of an
American dam, and thus the Derby
has been won by an American owner,
whose horse was ridden by an Ameri-
can jockey, and whose mount was out
of an American mare.
Nine horses started. King Edward
elected to travel by train. The royal
party included the Prince and Princess
of Wales the Duke and Duchess of
Connaught and the Grand Duke
Michael of Russia.
The rain cleared off before noon and
by the time the racing commenced, the
downs presented a cheerful and pic
turesque appearance. Trains from all
directions took enormous crows to the
course, but the throng was hardly up
to the average
The betting was 100 to against Orby
and Woolwinder and 13 to s on Sieve
Gallon.

FORCED TO HALT.
Forests Veterans Held in Check by a
Lone Policeman.

Washington, June 5.-One police
man prevented the entire squadron of
Forests Confederate cavalry from
taking the capitol and stacking their
arms in the rotunda of the great
building. The Confederate veterans,
fresh from Richmond, where they at
tended the unveiling of the monument
of Jefferson Davis, came here, march
ed up Pennsylvania avenue and even
invaded the portals of the White
House. where they were greeted by
President Roosevelt. They carried
carbines and sabers and were attired
in faded gray, end vs<ssse determined to
see all the sights of the capitol.
Under the leadership of Represent
ative John Wesley Gaines, of Tennes-
see. they marched to the capitol and it
was the programme to stack arms in
the great rotunda. just to see how it
would seem to experience what they
in vain tried to accomplish in the days
long ago.
Even the congressman was unable
to aid in carrying out the plan. A
CAPITOL policeman halted them at the
er:rance to the grounds, and informed
them nc marching company with arms
and banners was permitted to enter
the grounds or building.

LAMB IS SCARCE.
Chops in New York Sell for % to 80
Cents Pound

New York, June 5.-Retail butchers
about town are complaining of great
scarcity of lamb and mutton and de-
clare that if the prices keep rising they
will not handle any lamb whatever.
Within the last three weeks the whole
sale price of lamb went from 13 to 16
cents per pound. The price of poultry
also advanced while the market price
of choice beef was a cent higher than
had been the case a week ago.
In some sections of New York yester-
day lamb chops were % and 80 cents
a pound at retail
Many of the small retail butchers said
that if the prices went up any higher
it would drive them out of business. At
the lamb market, which is in Jersey
City, it was said that the prices of lamb
would go still higher within the next
few days. The scarcity of lamb, the
wholesalers explained, was due to the
fact that there had been practically no
spring weather

Marion county says:
The State Journal recently publish
ed Governor Hoch's statement to the
effect that his action favorable to the
building of the new court house in
Marion cost him 500 votes.
THE facts seem to disprove this. 1t
can not be presumed that those who
would vote against him because he
helped them to get what they wanted.

the five townships adjoining Center
township were most enthusiastic in
their efforts for the court house Ma

GASOLINE CAR BLEW UP
Three Men Who Were Standing Near
Were Killed Instantly.

Reddick, Ill.,, June 5.-Three persons
were killed here last night by an explo-
sion of a car loaded with gasoline. One of
the men killed was Fred Hating, bar
ber of Reddick- The names of the other
two men are unknown they were
strangers, having come to Reddick on a
freight train earlier in the afternoon. The
three men, with several other persons,
were watching three freight cars burn
that had become lgnited from a hot box
on one of the trucks.
AS the train neared the junction of the
Chicago, Indiana and Southern railroad
and the Wabash railroad the car with the
hot box derailed. Two other cars
loaded with oil were also dragged into the
ditch and all caught fire. Right next to
these cars was another car loaded with
gasoline which caught fire from the
sparks from the burning cars. A fearful
explosion followed which broke all the
windows in the village and demolished
chimneys of houses for miles around The
three men killed. who were standing close
to the gasoline car at the time were
blown to pieces and the fragments of
their bodies scattered for hundred yards
around. No one else was injured as the
trainmen, who knew the contents of the
gasoline car, had fled to safe distance.
Several other freight cars, composing
the train, were burned before they could
be removed after the explosion

Mystery of the Death of L. III.
Perkins Soon to Be Cleared.
An Examination of Business
Affairs to Begin Friday.
PAPERS IN BANK.
Lawrence Friends of the Dead
Man Make a Statement.
Say His Home Has Always Been
Center of Hospitality.

Lawrence, Kan, June st is i'm
probable that the mystery concerning
the death of Lucius H. Perkins, who
died from the result of a fall from the
roof of his mouse last Saturday. will he
cleared dntil his business affairs have
been looked into and the will read.
This examination into Mr.. Perkins
business affairs will begin Friday. The
funeral will be held Thursday after
noon at O'Clock. The next day mem
bers of the family will go to the Law
renee National bank where Mr.. Per
klns kept papers and records in box.
1t is probab BILE the will also will be
found in the box.
Friends of Mr.. Perkins in Lawrence
continue to assert that notwithstand-
ing the peculiar coincidence of an un-
usual death and more than $650.090 life
insurance with the other peculiar cir
cumstanceS conr ected with it, 1t will
be found that Mr.. Perkins business af-
fairs are in excellent condition and
that the suicide theory is only the re-
suit of remarkable circumstances.
These circumstances are, of course,
Mr. Perkins method of paying for hin
first premiums by notes which will fall
due shortly; his study of poisons, an
expressed premonition of a violent
death, the fact that the insurance
agents who wrote the policies, with one
two exceptions, were not satisfied
as to the risk, one agent who had $780,
900 even reinsuring two-thirdS of it in
another company, and the general con-
ditiOn of his business affairs, with his
chief holdings in far away Alberta.
A statement has been issued by a
number Of prominent citizens regard
ing the standing of the late l.. H.
Perkins as a member of the COM
munity. Among other things, the
statement says of Mr.. Perkins,:
His benevolence and kind spirited
generosity were so we'll known and
established that they stand today
greater monuments to the real man
than the great house. in the building
and maintaining of which he took
such great pride. His family relation
ship was marked for its beauty and
consistency, as was also his high ideal
of parental responsibility towards his
three young sons. s5
"a correspondent states that the
Perkins family recently took on them
selves social ambitions. On the con-
trary their social position in this COM
mrnity was esta blished so long ago
that to question it displayed ignorance
on the part of the questioner. Their
position was won and held, not by the
size of their house. but by their
breeding and by their qualities of
mind and character The cottage in
which they lived till their growing
family demanded larger quarters has
been for twenty-five years a center of
hospitality, both for the university and /
the town people, and there are few |
PEOPLE in Lawrence but have happy |
memories of it and of the man who |
was their host"

More Indians Working.

Deadwood Cor. St. Paul Dispatch.
 Spring on the Pine Ridge Indian reser- vation this year means great activity among its Indian residents, numbering now about I000 in all. Much of the sea- sons work is well under way, and crops of corn, oats and potatoes. in addition to the garden truck, will be raised While the land is essentially stock-raising land not being well adapated to farming on ac- count of the dryness. yet more interest Is being taken yearly in the matter of farming. and this year will see probably one-third more land under actual culti- vation.
 The Indians also are giving intelligent attention to the question of stock rais- ing. So far their stock consists chiefly of cattle and horses, but 1t is noticeable that the latter are improving much in quality. Instead of the tough little In- dian ponies, inferior in all other respects the Indians are now buying good class of horses.
 Many of the Indians are engaged in the business of freighting from the railroad at Gordon to the reservation, and often as many as thirty or forty teams may be passed on the road with supplies for ] the agency, and driven by Indian owners. For this class of work excellent horses are employed.
