and the officers were unable to find any
trace of him until his body was discovered
this morning. Evidently he had killed him
self with the same weapon with which he
had shot his wife yesterday afternoon, as
the gun was found lying beside him
According to the reports, the shooting Of
the wife occurred at the house instead OF
in a field, as the first reports of the af-
fair indicated. It is now claimed that the
woman had threatened Starkey, and that
he shot her in self defense. Mrs. Starkey
is still living, and there are chances that
she may survive. although over thirty bird
shot have been extracted from various parts
Of her body. Several Of the shot pierced
her lungs and vital organs. Mr..
and Mrs. Starkey were divorced last sum-
mer, the wife filing the petition in the dis
trict court OF Howard county. There were
two children, the oldest being 6 years of
age, and the court gave each parent the
custody Of one of the children It appeared
that the wife desired both be given into
her care and had called on her husband
several times to Induce him to give up the
one who was in his care. Yesterday a vio-
lent scene was enacted at Starkey's home
when the divorced wife again called to
make her demand for the child and the
shooting resulted.
Before her marriage Mrs. Starkey was
Miss Scott, her father. James Scott, being
an old resident in the vicinity OF Palmer.
Recently Mr.. Scott removed to Grand Is
land and Mrs. Starkey has been makins
her home with him there, since her divorce
Starkey and his wife were middle aged
people.

From a staff correspondent.l

LINCOLN, Neb.. July 2i.-Cspecial Tele-
gram.)-The action Of the state Board of
Assessment in distributing the value Of
the rolling stock and franchise Of the vari-
Gus railroads Of the state, according 70
lines instead Of under the unit system. has
brought forth a protest from York county.
Charles McCloud, George w. Post and c.
c. Boslaw appeared before the board this
afternoon to insist on the unit system plan
OF distribution
Under this system, Mr.. Post explained,
York county would gain some 5000 in rail
road property for taxation purposes. The
board showed the York people that under
its plan Bradshaw would gain 5000, while
under the plan Of the York people, Brad
shaw would lose 5000. Under the plan OF
the board every town in York county gains
some railroad property. but had the unit
system been adopted a few Of the towns
wouldrhave gained more.
Mr.. Post sad It was the intention Of the
protesters to file an application for q
mandamus to compel the board to adopl

CROP REPORTS ARE FAVORABLE

NEW YORK, July PAR. C. Dun & Co. s
weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say
Industrial plants gradually enlarge the

contracts for steel products are being
placed with more freedom and Collleries re-
sumo that were closed by the drouth. Out
side representatives of JobDing houses are
numerous in the primary market for cot
ton goods, but operations are restricted as
is customary at this season.
SpinneTs can see no profit in operations
on the present basis and hence make no
effort to get the small business that offers.
In fact most propositions are rejected and
the absence OF concessions prevents any
change in nomina quotations., although
scarcely any transactions are made on the
Export trade also is stagnant, although
there is little domestic trade in lines usual
ly confined TO foreign markets. The best
inquiry is from South America. Thus far
the better grades of woolens and worsteds
have not been opened, but enough goods are
offered to meet the requirements of buyers.
Demand is restricted to fancy woolens of
pronounced pattern and coloring, with lit
tie interest in staples. A large quantity
of wool has been withdrawn from the Lon

except where the increased cost of raw

advance figures and little business is done
on this basis because buyers insist that

Leather is steady except that tanners adj

Dog Days-The dog days are here; at
least, everyone seems to think so, though
there are some who think that August Is
really the prescribed time. When we were
boys, we used to think 1t had something to
do with the old saw, Every dog has his
day. and the extreme heat which drove
dogs mad" Also, that no one must go in
swimming in August, for some reason
which is now forgotten, The boys Of our
gang used to go down by the big logs,
near the present site Of me water works,
until July 81, but after that no inducement
was great enough for them to go in; they
might during September, but not in August.
