, woman aoroplanlst , was seriously In

from a holghth of fifty feet.

The Baroness De La Rocho had
flown around the field once at a height
'of fifty feet when suddenly while la
front of an applauding tribunal she
appeared to become frightened and
confused at the approach of two other
aeroplanes.
She started to descend but while
still fifty meters from the ground lost
control of the machine.
Body Mangled , Skull Fractured.
The machine turned over and fell
like a log. The baroness' legs and
arms were broken. Her mangled
body was removed from the wreckage
and moved to a hospital where she is
dying. At the hospital it was found
that her skull was fractured. This
is the second fatal accident at the
meeting , Wachter having been killed
last Friday.
Injured Once Before.
The performances of Baroness De
La Roche on a Volson machine have
been much talked of in Paris. This
accident was not her first. On Jan
uary 4 last , she was seriously injured
at the Chalons field.
The baroness was one of the pion
eers of aviation. She had also driven
motor boats in races and automobiles
at exhibitions and as soon as flying
became practicable , she turned to
that. There are several other women
aviators In Paris.
While momentarily conscious the
baroness explained that the rush of
air from a motor passing over her
head frightened her , whereupon she
lost control of the machine.
May Live , After All.
The doctor later , after a careful ex
aminatlon , declared the baroness'
skull was not fractured and that she
might live.

A REAL GAOSE
OF HIGH PRICES
THE PURE FOOD LAW HAS HAD
WIDESPREAD EFFECT.
BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU BUY
Formerly Prices Were Reduced by Re

branding But That Can't be Done
Any More The Real Article Costs.

sional committee on the cost of liv
ing recently detailed fifteen reasons
for high cost of living and yet one of
the most important reasons for the
high prices was left out of their report -
port , " remarked Solicitor Mathews of
the department of agriculture today.
"The execution of the pure food law
has had an important effect on prices.
Formerly resort was had to adultera
tion and mlsbrandlng to reduce the
price of alleged articles. Now people
buy raspberry jam for Instance and
pay more for It but they get what
they pay for. So It is with many
other articles , in common use. "

T , R , TO MAKE SPEECH
He Will Speak in Indiana in Bever-
idge's Campaign for Election.
Oyster Bay , July 8. Albert J. Bev-
eridge , United States senator from In
diana and one of the most prominent
and most consistent of progressive
republicans , came down from Saga
more Hill yesterday afternoon with a
promise from Theodore Roosevelt to
deliver a campaign speech in his fight
for re-election to the senate. Mr. Bev-
erldge departed content and smiling ,
but he left it for the colonel to make
the announcement of the proposed
speech in the senator's behalf.
And this Is what Mr. Roosevelt
said :
"Mr. Foulke and Mr. Swift came to
Sagamore Hill last night and spent
the night here. They came to request
me to go to Indiana and speak in be
half of Senator Beverldge. I promised
them that I would. "
He added that ho had agreed to
make only one speech for the senator
and as far as is now known , he will
make only one. The time and place
for this speech has not been announc
ed. Those who have followed the con
ferences at Oyster Bay since Colonel
Roosevelt returned share the belief
that he has been feeling his way cau-
tiously in his attitude toward the ad
ministration and the Insurgents , but
yesterday's incidents are considered
the most Important developments.
Senator Beverldgo Is making his fight
for re-election as an insurgent. He Is
opponed by John W. Kern , who ran
with Bryan In the last campaign.
In his fight the senator is placing
himself squarely against President
Taft , Insofar as the tariff figures. The
law which the president had defended
as the tariff measure ever Is denounc
ed by the senator and the same re
publican convention which endorsed
Boverldgo for another term virtually
repudiated the law.
In the senate Beverldge fought the
bill to the last and then voted against
it.
It is pointed out , however , that with
this exception President Taft and the
senator from Indiana have come to
gether as far as administration poll
clos are concerned. There has been
no break between them. The presi
dent entrusted to the senator the con-
duct of two administration measures
at last session of congress the state-
hood bill nnd the Alaska government
bill. And although the senator work-
ed faithfully with the insurgent band
in the senate , and had a hand in the
alteration of President Taft's railroad
abill ho supported the administration
rogiilarly In the last session when

"State of Nebraska , Executive Of
fice , July 5 , 1910. Dear Mr. Smith : I
have your letter of recent date relative
to the condition of the Insane in the
county hospital of Douglas county. In
reply I will say that our state insti
tutions for the insane are very much
over-crowded at present. There has
been one building completed at Nor
folk , which has somewhat relieved the
situation there , and another Is being
completed , I understand , at Hastings.
"Every one of our Institutions are
crowded beyond measure , and It seems
as though the state Is confronted with
the fact that these unfortunate people
are constantly Increasing In numbers
that must be cared for by the state.
"I will endeavor at once to relieve
the situation as much as I ran favor
you. I provided for a place for Miss
Peterson at Norfolk , as you state In
your letter , after earnest solicitation
that the superintendent find a place
for her , In some way. I have also se
cured an opening here for n man from
your county. The two that you men
tion I will endeavor to have taken
charge of In some of the Institutions.
"Thanking you for calling this matter -

to remain , yours very respectfully ,

A VISIT TO THE WILSON FARM.
James Klnnlburgh , Who Bought His
Uncle's Home , Does Not Worry.
Tecumseh. Neb. , July 8. Six miles-
north and three miles west of the lit
tle town of Tecumseh Is the house
where Judge John Wilson lived and
waited for his banished son to return.
Young . Wilson disappeared thlrty-fiva
years ago. On his return a short while
ago he found that he will be required
to answer ten questions before he can
clafrii his * father's estate of 430,000.
July 10 he will be required to answer
tjhese questions by James Livingston ,
the county judge.
The road to the old Wilson home
stead Is rough ; sharp , jagged rocka
are frequent and the hills are steep.
There are no stretches of prairie with
level roads on which John Wilson
could speed his 2-year-old roadster.
Perhaps this did not satisfy the sportIng -
Ing blood of the then young John.
Only narrow valleys , cut by gullies , in
terrupt the continuous recurrence at
the hills. A motor car which made the
trip to the Wilson farm yesterday waa
unable to climb the hills on the high
speed.
When engineers measured Johnson ,
county Into sections , divided by high
ways , the old home of the Wilsons
was left standing in the center of a
section. ' The last lap to the house la
through a cornfield which has been
furrowed and planted with a lister.
The house , built thirty-five yeara
ago , a year after "Johnny" Wilson
disappeared , is above the old dugout :
which was the first home of tha
judge and his wife when they emi
grated to the west from Scotland. The
same dugout from which the elder
Wilson kicked his son and wished him
In hell , now Is a celler , the refrigera
tor of his nephew , James Klnnlburgh ,
who live in the old home.
It Is a one-story structure , consplo
uously plain , divided Into two rooms ,
both small. A coat of white paint , re
cently applied , conceals the age of tha
building. The worn , rotten boards on.
the little east porch , however , appear
to have been In place many yeara.
The walls on the Inside , Instead of be
ing plastered with hair and cement ;
are covered with thin boards conceal
ed by figured wall paper which haa
faded In placoh. Round spots , appar
ently stained by rain leaking through
the old roof , appear at Intervals on
the ceiling.
A brick chimney , built ten years ago
carries the smoke from the stoves of
both rooms. A rag carpet hides the
floors.
James Klnnlburgh , his wife and sir
children , live In the house. 'Jim , "
the neighbors call him , is a farmer
and will receive $10,000 If the mys
terious questions cannot be answered
by John Wilson. Duncan Klnnlburgh
and Donald Black , also nephews of.
Judge Wilson , were the only other
claimants to the $30.000 estate before
the return of the "lost heir. " They do
not live near Teciimseh , so James Kln-
nlburgh represents the opposition to
the wandering son. Yet he has not
come to town since Wilson's return ,
but has prepared to plow the corn on
his farm and left the settling of the
estate to Judge James Livingston , who
will ask Wilson the mysterious ques
tions.
