O'Neill, Neb., June GA fishing
party had sad and tragic ending at
Wunder's lake, eight miles southeast
of Page, the first station east OF o.
Neill on the Great Northern railway
Wednesday Four persons were
drowned by boat capsizing. A party
of about 80 people living in the vicin'
ity of Page went to the lake in the
forenoon to spend the day fishing. The
accident occurred about noon, when
boatload of six persons started out
on the lake and went down only
about 20 feet from the bank. Two OF
the party, Mrs. Samson. wife OF the
man drowned, and H. w. Tracy, hus'
band of one of the women, were got
ten out by the aid Of fish poles. The

CROKER WINS THE DERBY
The Erstwhile Boss Of Tammany
Hall Captures English Race.
Honors Carried Away From Titled
Sports Displeased the Public
Royalty There In Force.

London, June 6.-The "Tammany"
or Boss Croker's" derby, as the 1907
race will hencefbrth be known, proved
in many ways to be a disappoint-
ment to the enormous crowd that
gathered at EPSON Downs to witness
the sporting event of the year.
Mr.. Croker by winning this historic
event with his Chestnut colt Orby in
fine style gained little Of the good
will of the British racing public,
but he has the satisfaction Of having
attained the goal set for himself
when the jockey club excluded
his horses from Newmarket without
assigning any reason, of one day win
ming the Derby. On the other hand,
the British public who had wagered
a lot of money on the beaten favorite
Sieve Gallon, and who like to see
the blue ribbon carried off by titled
or aristocratic sportsman, were keenly
disappointed.
The day began badly with torrents
Of rain, which occasioned the first
disappointment to the crowd. In spite
of the absence of Queen Alexandra
however, big circle Of royalty headed
by King Edward and the Prince ant
Princess of Wales was present. AS the
morning wore on the weather cleared
and the race was run in glorious sun
shine and without that discomfort
from dust that is usually present
at the EPSON course.
The crowd was perhaps smaller
than In previous years, but 1t had al
its we'll known gaiety and picturesque
ness, and included large gathering
of Americans and Irish, who showed
unbounded pleasure at the victor!

Wanta the Rod Restored.

The Shanghai Times editor says:
The jail has been well administered,
but is fuller than 1t should be, due, |
fear, to the abolition Of the cangue
and bamboo. The ordinary criminal
has no great objection to repeated
short visits to the jail, but shrinks
from a repetition Of corporal punish
ment. Punishment with the bamboo
is in vogue throughout China, and
here only has 1t by special edict been
abolished. We deprecate the Chinese
authorities making this settlement q
field for. experiment, and will press
for the reintroduction Of this salu-
tary method Of punishment.

Poor Kansas Wheat Crop.

Topeka, June 9.-The dry weather
and low temperature of May played
havoc with the wheat crop OF Kan
sas. The report of Secretary Coburn
of the state board of agriculture,
made public Saturday morning,
shows that 81 per cent Of the area,
or 1,41O,OOO acres, has been plowed
I'D or is worthless, and that the con-
ditions on the remaining 5,SO5,OOO
acres. which now seem likely to be
harvested, is 56.7 per cent, or N.3
points lower than six weeks ago, and
1873 per cent less than year ago.

Made for Fat Men.

One of the narrow arches In the
gallery of the chapel at Columbia uni
versity is not exactly symmetrical, al.
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer, says the New
York Globe. The reason for the Wild
ening Of the arch after its original con-
struction had rise in a somewhat
humorous occurrence. One of the
early visitors was remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with diff
Guilty. The builders, recognizing the
possibility of other fat people being
numbered among the future visitors,
decided to widen the arch, sacrificing
symmetry and harmony to practical
need, as the pier was SO constructed
rs to bear no loss of width on one OF.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory II the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength than other makes.

The extraordinary popularity Of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice Of Starch a matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all Injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as a stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
