It's funny how circumstance change one's life. There's Colonel Jim Derlaht. He should have been a farmer. He began farm life back east when he was a lad. It was the ambition of his youth that he might some day own that farm. And he did. As a boy doing chore on It he Imagined that it would be mighty nice to ride around over It a (he landlord, and to be relieved of Its manual labor and to reap rich harvests and pocket the money. When he drifted into the safe business In later years, he didn't lose sight of that farm. He told the boys to let him know what became of It. He wanted it If he ever got the money. When ha had earned and saved somewhere In the neighborhood of $30,000 he got a message that the land lord had died and that the property was to be sold. "Bid It In for me," he wrote them. Twelve thousand dollars was the highest bid and it was Derlght's. So he got It. He began to Improve it right away, and after two years, maybe, when it was In tha best possible shape, both he and his wife found that they were so attached to Omaha that no sort of reasonin could in duce them to leave. After awhile the farm was sold to make the safe business lu Omaha bigger so there you are.

Hamilton, who made the great race from Philadelphia to New York, on June 13, Was seriously and possibly fatally In jured at the state fair grounds here about 7 o'clock this evening when his new 115 horsepower biplane "Hamlltonlan" crashed to the ground after a spectacular flight Hamilton met. with, two accidents to day. In the first his machine was dam aged when the machine, fell, but he waa unhurt. Early in the eve::tng Hamilton made an other ascent Ho circled the mile track three times at great speed, racing an automobile which was unable to keep up with him. After the third round, he at tempted to alight, but the huge machine swpoped down to the earth at an acute angle, dashing to the ground In full view of 30,000 spectators, among whom was his wife; . . The aviator was found unconscious 'arid covered with blood under the angina of the biplane. He was extcicated and sent to his hotel. An examination failed to re veal any broken limbs, but tha surgeons fear the pelvlo bone is fractured and that he sustained Internal injuries. Hamilton's face waa badly lacerated, one eye being entirely closed. It was neces sary to put him under the influence of opiates and the full extent of hla injuries' ha not yet been ascertained. A consulta tion of surgeons was held late tonight Story or the Transmississipi Exposition History Compiled by James B. Haynes of the First Undertaking is lust Off the Press. A publication that will be of much In terest Is the "History of the Trans-Mississippi and Intet national Exposition of 1MW," which la Jvst otr the press. The stoiy of this great undertaking, which meant so much to Omaha, has beert compiled by James B. Haynes, and Is published under the direction of the committee of history authorised by the board of directors at Its meeting In June, 1A0J. The committee on history consists of General Charles F. San derson, chairman; I:aac W. Carpenter, Charles W. Lyman. Carroll S. Montgomery and George F. Bidwell. Mr. Bldwell was placed on the committee to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Edward Rosewater. The actual determination to publish a his tory of the exposition was not reached until the fall of 1907. The story of the exposition from the time of Its genesis In the meeting of the Trans-Mississippi congress in Omaha until its directors had finally wound up Its af fairs and had turned over to the stock holders a dividend amounting to their sub scription Is told In a concise and Interest ing way. The book is prolusely illustrated with portraits of the men and women who were prominent in its affairs, with views of the buildings and grounds, with day scenes and night scenes and groups that tell within themselves the Incidents and episodes that attended the progress of the most successful exposition that was ever held. The work Is modestly done and with out effort to exceed simplicity In its narra tion, and because of this fact it will be even more highly valued by those who possess it than if It had been devoted to the flamboyant exploitation of the lighter side of the great exposition. It is not pub lished with a view to profit, but merely ta provide for those who care to have It. a simple and succinct record of what still remains the most Important epoch In Omaha's business and social history.
