Gasoline Launch Goes Wrong and He
il Carried over Dam.
ASHLAND, Neb., Jun S-(Special Tele-
gram.)-rhe first drowning in Salt creek
occurred at 3 o'clock this afternoon when
Charles Whistler sank beneath the flood
which is the highest for five years. The
gasoline launch in which he and three other
men were attempting to cross the stream
got beyond his control and was RAPIDLY
carried away. The men sought to turn the
craft into the shallOwer waters OF the
overflow, but becoming entangied in a
fringe OF willows we're dashed against a
bridge. The water was flowing even with
the latter and the shock overturned the
boat. His three companions gaind safety
by seizing the iron supports OF the struc-
ture, but Whistler failed. He passed be-
meath the bridge and over the dam Of the
Jewell Touring mill. a hundred yards be-
low. His body was seen once or twice in
the boiling torrent and then vanished. The
tragedy occurred in the sight OF many
spectators who had been drawn by the
unusual sight OF the flood and who were
unable 10 extend him aid.
Searching parties are s~ndeavoring to To-
cate the body, but owing to the speed of
the current and the great extent of water
little hope Is entertained that it will be
found.
Mr.. Whistler was 30 years old, a native
Of Ashland. a prominent member OF social
and business circles. a graduate OF the
University OF Iowa ard a prominent mem
Der OF the state dental society. His death
produced in the community a shock OF
horror.

fl to our country az good citizens to be respectful to our chosen officials, whether they are of our own political faith or not Unless there is unity within, thero can be no success either within or without And lt is only a step from citi2en-loyality to congress sional loyalty If It is quite necessary to have the citizens unjtodly with a president, it is equally necessary to have d congress in sympathy with him. TO be sure e congress too much in sympathy with chief executive makes him a near-monarrh, On tho other hand a congress too much out of sympathy with him makes itself the virtual head of q machtne-ruled land. A happy medium is what is reQlir- ed and must be had Those of us, therefore wng are looking forward to Taft administration cannot put too much emphasis upon the necessity of obtaining a congress with Taft ten dencies.

 TO the Editor of The Sunsir AS election day draws near Il becomes more and more evident that the repuh' lican state ticket in Connecticut is lost blame for not needing the wishes of the manufacturers of the state when theN 50 strongly protested against the nomination of Lilley at New Haven, Wherever one goes In the state the chief topic discussed IS the increasing popularity of tho democratic ticket Old time republicans in the small coun- try towns SAY openly that they cannot stand for Lilley after hls record in Washington last winter, and they de- clare that they are going to support either Taft and the democratic state ticket ol just Taft and in this way they hope to defeat the Waterbury politician

 i f. 4 vote for lllley means that you ! take sides with him against the re. which repudiated him in strong terms ! last spring and almost expelled him ! 2 As Lilley gave to the world the i impression tha members of congress we're nothing but gfafters Chis un- l founded submarine chargesl to support 1 him would mean a vote of confidence 1 In his views
