Body of One of Eleven Drowned
Sailors Found.

The body Of Coxswain Robert III.
Dodson. of the battleship Minnesota 5
i'll fated launch, which, with its elev-
en- occupants, six midshipmen and
five seamen, went to the bottom OF
Hampton roads in the darkness of
Tuesday night, was found floating in
the roads Thursday
An orderly from one of the ships
of the Atlantic fleet stated at Old
Point Comfort that the bodies OF the
other ten drowned men had been
taken to the Norfolk navy yard. Ad-
miral Thomas, however, sent a wire
less message to Shore denying that
the bodies had been found.
1t now seems tc be accepted in
naval circles that the little launch
was run down by coal barge short
ly after the frail boat carrying the
eleven men left Discovery landing
1t was learned a Norfolk Thurs
day that Commodore William IL.
Evans yacht, the Chilhowee, with a
party of Baltimoreans, was anchored
off the exposition grounds short
distance from where the accident is
thought to have happened, and, ac-
cording to members of the party,
cries of the drowning midshipmen
and sailors were heard coming over
the water, though the party at that
time believed the noises were made
by jubilant parties returning from
the army and navy ball.

There has been an impression that
the public lands convention" which
lis TO be held in Denver June IS, 10
and 20, will be rather sensational
event. limitations have been receiv-
ed at Washington that the political
opponents the present administra-
ltion and the western senator's, repre-
Isentatives and others who are dissat-
listed with President Rocsevelt's pol
icy concerning the public lands, the
coal fields, the pastures and irriga-
Ition enterprises in the West would
undertake to cllastise him and Sc
cure radical resolutions in favor OF
Ia change. 1t is thought, however
THAT any efforts on the part OF Sen
ator Teller, who seems to be the
leader of the opposition, and other
prominent men to annoy the Presi
dent will be met with vigor and de-
Termination While adverse criticism
|cannot be prevented, no formal cen
sure of the administration policy
concerning the public domain will be
adopted without very lively scrap
There has been a good deal of pol
|itics in the movement from the be-
ginning, and the program committee
lis composed OF persons uafriendly to
the laws as they stand, to the policy
|of the administration in enforcing
them and to the President personally
The cattle rien, the timber thieves
the coal land grabbers and various
other gentlemen whose plans have
been interfered with by the Interior
Department and the courts for the
protection of the public domain have
also been anticipating an opporun-
lily to get even, but it is said that
there is recently a spirit of modera-
ton prevailing among those in
charge of the convention and il may
not be as sensational as some people
have expected

The summer fool who rocks the
boat has already caused a score of
deaths this year despite the compar-
atively few opportunities the season
has offered. In Chicago, however,
some specimens of the kind have met
with prompt punishment. "A park
policeman who saw them attempting
their idiocy went after them and cap
tured them before they could do any
harm. But here will be others.
Such fools are, however, low in
grade compared with their incompar-
able specimens of their class who
tried to see who could stay on the
railroad track longest when a fast
train was approaching A girls dare
and two young mems folly at Low
ett Ind, cost two lives Saturday,
and probably it would be very hard
to convince the survivors how much
they are to blame for even consider
ing such foolhardy adventure.
The summer fool finds many ways
to put his safety and others peoples
safety in peril The coming Fourth
will give him some of his best op-
portunities He will hold cannon
crackers in his hand, point the "pis-
tol that isn't loaded" at his friend.
and make himself free and easy with
the fireworks in the evening.
1t is useless to talk TO mel, of this
description, whether they are young
or whether they are old. They have
been brought up to think it smart
to take "dares" and foolish risks, and
only painful experience will cure
them. The spirit is one that ought
to die out in such a civilization as
we now live in. Rashness is no long
er an advantage either in war or in
peace. Caution is just as consistent
with courage, and it should be the
preferable ideal
Workmen are still without ade-
quate protection in the great major
ity OF factories, but manufacturers
complain with reason in some cases.
that workmen will not avail them
selves of such safeguards as are pro-
vided. When the Eiffel Tower was
to be reprinted in Paris a contract
was made with painters who set
down as one of the conditions that
they should not be asked 10 wear life
belts and this despite the fact that
experience had shown shat an UNI
pleasantly large percentage of them
would lose their lives before the
work was done.
Foolhardiness is not the fault of
one country or of one class. But it
ought to be got rid of When it ap-
pears in the summer fool, and the
summer fool is still minor, the do
mestIc paddle, or something akin to
it, would seem the proper remedy;
that is, if the fool is so fortunate as
to survive to be punished Record

MORTUARY.
Edward Lavender.

Edward Lavender was born April
|2O, 1922. in Champlain township
Clinton county, New York and died
June 10, 1907, aged IS years, l month
and 21 days. He resided in New
York with his parents, until early
manhood when the father died, and
Edward with his mother and sisters
removed to Fairfield county, Ohio
At the age of 25 he was united in
marriage to Miss Magdalena Al
bright. To this union was born one
son, William. In 1850 he removed
with his family to Cass. county Iindi-
ana, where his wife died the same
year
In 1851 he was united in
marriage to Miss Hannah Elizabeth
Wickizer, and removed to Marshall
county, Ind, where he resided until
his death To this. union was born
six children, three sons and three
daughters, of which two, with his
wife, preceded him to the spirit
world. One son, Thomas J., died in
infancy, one daughter, Mrs. Effie B.
Gurthet, died March 20. 1897 His
wife died May 8, O3,since that time
he has resided with hrs son Jacob.
Those surviving him are William.
of Letters Ford, Mrs. Katherine
Slayter, of Plymouth, Mrs Anna M.
Truck, of near Plymouth, John c. of
Hobart, Ind, Jacob S. of Rutland,
and one sister, Mrs Maria Pence. of
Jewell City, Kansas. He had fifteen
grandchildren, eleven of which sur
vive him, also two great grandchild-
rem, both of which died in infancy.
Father Lavender was a good hus-
band and father, always realizing
that his first duty was to God, and
then to his family. He had that
larger conception which should char
acterize every man, viz: the teaching
of the Gospel by precept and life so
as to lead his children to Christ
which duty he faithfully performed.
He was a good neighbor and in this
sphere of life literally fulfilled the
Apostles injunction, Be kindly affec-
toned one toward another, with
brotherly love in honor preferring
one another. Not slothful in bust
ness, fervent in spirit, serving the
Lord. Rejoicing in hope, patient in
tribulation, continuing constant in
prayer, distributing to the necessity
of saints, given TO hospitality And
thus he possessed that happy faculty
of scattering sunshine wherever he
went, always mindful of others, new.
er complaining of his own lot but al
ways cheerful and happy, believing
that all things work together for
good to those that serve the Lord.
Thus he came down to the night OF
his earthly existence trusting in God
and leaving as a las message to
earth the words of Divine writ: BE
we also ready"

Action of Car Disapproved.

The dissolution of the duma and
the PRONUNCIATION of a new election
system in Russia have created a pro
found impression among the dele
gates at the peace conference. The
fact that the dissolution of the duna
occurred simultaneously with the
opening of the conference was gener-
ally deplored. There is general dis
approval as to the wisdom of the
dissolution.
The Russian delegates deny that
there is any connection between the
governments decision and M. Nell
doff's utterances Saturday Extra
precautions have been taken by the
Dutch police to insure the personal
safety of M. Nelidoff. Ever since
his arrival here special detectives
have been detailed to guard him, as
the secret service was warned several
days ago that an attempt to assas-
sinate him would be made as he
drove to the hall OF knights Satur-
day.
