STUDENTS IN SAD ACCIDENT AT SEATTLE. J. F. Goshorn and Glen Jacqueth of Kalispell, Mont., Two of the Victims—Storm Overtook Them While Boating on Lake Washington—Other Parties Had Narrow Escapes. Seattle, Wash., May 20.—Three young college students, two men and a girl, were drowned in a canoeing accident on Lake Washington Sunday. Another young man barely escaped with the assistance of friends who went to his rescue in a sailboat while a sailman was raging on the lake. The two men were J. F. Goshorn son of Robert Goshorn, editor of the Kallspell (Mont.) Interlake, and Glen Jacqueth, son of a Kallspell (Mont.) engineer and a sophomore student at the same institution. The girl is Edith Vogt, a junior in the University of Washington. These three, with Eugene White, another Washington university student, were on the lake in a small canoe when a sudden squall came up and struck them. The canoe filled with water and sank, leaving the occupants struggling in the choppy waves. White almost succeeded in getting the girl to the canoe, when both the other men threw their arms around him and the four sank. White alone coming up. Three students in a small sailboat made a sensational rescue, picking him up while the boat was going at a high speed. The Stanford students were on their way home, the university having closed for the year, and were visiting at the home of Miss Vogt, who is also from Kalispell. Miss Vogt is prominent in university affairs. In the same storm several other canoes barely escaped capsizing. SENSATION AT BOISE. Reporters Interviewed Orchard—Court Scores Them. Judge Fremont Wood, who is presiding at the Steunenberg murder trial at Boise, directed the prosecuting attorney of Ada county to make an investigation of the circumstances under which Harry Orchard was interviewed for publication and to take any legal steps that his inquiry showed to be warranted. Judge Wood drew attention to the publication of the interview when he ascended the bench this morning and his request of counsel for advice as to the manner in which the court should deal with the incident, brought from the defense the charge that Governor Gooding and certain newspapers, moved by the disclosure that there exists prejudice against Orchard, had sought to influence the jury by an attempt to bolster up the credence that may be given to Orchard's story, and the suggestion that Governor Gooding be cited for contempt. Attorney Makes Report. Prosecuting Attorney Koeisch has completed his investigation of the circumstances under which Harry Orchard, principal witness for the state in the Steuenenberg case, was interviewed and presented the district court with a report exonerating from the charge of improper motives all persons connected with the incident. He found that the only motive that the newspaper men had in interviewing Orchard was to obtain news of him. In announcing the report Judge Wood said that it called for no action, and directed that it be filed. PLOT TO FREE 1000 PRISONERS NitroGlycerine Was to Play Important Part in Chicago Jail. Chicago.—A plot to blow up the county jail and release about a thousand prisoners was frustrated when the guards found in the cell of Charles Hansen, sentenced to life imprisonment in Joliet penitentiary for the murder of Policeman Luke Fitzpatrick, a sealed can of nitro-glycerine. Hansen confessed to the intended use of the explosive, according to jail officials. Notes passed between Hansen and other prisoners in the west wing revealed the plot. A hole was found in the west wall, which is in the old part of the building. The new part of the building, being of steel construction, was not considered by the conspirators as being admissible of breach. Guards found that the prisoners to be released had bed slats, chairs and other weapons carefully disposed or immediate use should an effort be made to stop their rush through the aperture Hansen was to make. Hansen was taken in irons to Joliet when was taken in frons to Joliet begin his sentence. Corey Out, Says Wall Street NEW YORK—Persistent rumors were in circulation all Monday through the financial district that the resignation of W. E. Corey as president of the United States Steel corporation is in hands of the directors, having been asked for when Corey announced the state of his marriage to Mabelle Gilman. While officials of the steel trust maintain silence on the subject, the interests of Corey deny that he has resigned or even contemplated resigning. Francisco Jose, who was born in 1808, is still active and at work, and a good shot with the rifle, at Oporto, Portugal. He served in the Portuguese army which in 1810 opposed the invasion of the French under Napoleon I. When the streets are awfully sleety a man begins to realize bliss. SPORTING NOTES. Seattle, Wash.—Seattle shattered the points in the Washington Inter-scholastic Athletic association meet held Friday and Saturday on the state university campus, making 77 out of a possible 165. Tacoma surprised herself by getting second place in the meet. Spokane was fifth. New York.—The first play of the American challenging lawn tennis team upon grass courts was held last week at Ardsley-on-Hudson. Beals C. Wright and Karl H. Behr met H. H. Hackett and F. B. Alexander and were defeated 6-2, 8-10, 6-3, 6-2. Annapolis.—The midshipmen of the first eight won the two-mile boat race here with the Columbia varsity crew by a length and a half. Official time: Navy, 10:33 4:5; Columbia, 10:38 4:5; Princeton, N. Y.; Princeton defeated Columbia in a dual track meet here by the score of 63 to 34. St. Louis, Mo.—Frank Gotch won the first two falls in his match with Charles Olsen. It took Gotch 49 1-2 minutes to win the first fall and 35 minutes to win the second. New Haven, Conn.—Much glory came to Yale athletes Saturday afternoon to compensate for the loss to Harvard of the fifteenth annual dual games which were held on the Yale field, the final results in which were 55 1-2 points for the crimson to 48 1-2 for the blue. W. R. Dray of Yale broke the world's pole vault record made a year ago by Samse of the University of Indiana, by clearing the bar at 12 feet 5 1-2 inches, while Captain J. W. Marshall of the Yale team, broke the dual high jump record of 6 feet 5-8 inch, made 11 years ago, by clearing the bar at 6 feet 1 1-2 inches. Mahager Coffroth of San Francisco changed the date of the Burns-Squires fight from May 30 to July 4. Evidently the San Francisco manager wants the recent flasco in Los Angeles to blow over before he brings off his big event. Jim Jeffries has been agreed upon as the referee for the big fight. Wardner, Idaho.—John Bell and Dr. Fred Harris are reported to have bonded the Brooklyn group of claims on Pine Creek for $75,000. The present owners are Thomas Jones and Thomas Jenkins of Moscow. A 60-foot drift tunnel shows some high-grade galena, but in other respects comparatively little development work has been done Parke Wilson has been fired. The Vancouver management, tired of losing game after game, and urged on by a town full of very sore fans, decided that the only thing to do was to put a new man in charge, and Parke was handed the blue envelope. Charley McIntire was appointed to lead the team. San Francisco.—E. D. Lee, a colored horseman, and his horses, Signsworth and Grace Narle, have been ruled on the turf by the stewards of the New California Jockey club, who allege that they have positive evidence that he has been tampering with jockeys. Missoula, Mont.—Amid great cheering the fourth annual state interscholastic meet came to an end, being won by Flathead county, and Denny of the same county winning the individual cup. Missoula, with practically but one man, won second place to the great satisfaction of the majority of the other schools of the state. No less than 4000 persons attended the day's events, all the stores and public offices closing for the entire afternoon. Denny of Flathead was a wonder, as was Dinsmore for Missoula. Horn of Anaconda, who has held the individual cup for two years, showed up in very poor form, winning but two points. The final results were as follows: Flathead 76, Missoula 72, Great Falls 16, Fergus 14, Teton 13, Butte 11, Anaconda 9, Helena 8, Gallatin 5, Broadwater 7. Kelly equaled the world's record for the 220-yard dash on a curved track and McKinney raised the shotput record for the Pacific Coast from 45 feet 6 1-2 inches to 45 feet 11 1-2 inches.

A. meet held under the auspices of the Seattle Athletic club in the latter part of June. Eugene, Ore.—Three records were broken in the meet between the othletes of the University of Oregon and the huskies from the Washington State college at Pullman, Wash. George Hug of Oregon broke Tom McDonald's hammer throw record, by making a cast of 146 feet 4 1-3 inches. The greatest athlete developed in the last 10 years is undoubtedly Lee J. Talbot, the young Mercersburg, Pa., academy weight thrower, who, though only 19 years of age, has already shattered the world's 12-pound hammer record with a toss of 205 feet 10 3-4 inches, set new world's scholastic figures for the 12-pound shot at 53 feet 3 3-4 inches, and defeated the best college men of the east and west in throwing the 16-pound hammer, the standard for college and amateur competition. His record in this event is 153 feet 5 1-2 inches. Talbot, lacking several years of legal age, stands 6 feet 3 1-2 inches in height and weighs 210 pounds. Mercersburg will send a team to Chicago to compete in Coach Stagg's meet June 8, and Talbot will meet the best in the west. Wisconsin's New Senator.

FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

The funeral of Dudley Peyton was held from St. James Church Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in charge of R. J. Fletcher Lodge, No. 101, A. F. and A. M., Mr. Peyton being a member of that fraternity, though hailing from another lodge at Washington, D. C. The sermon was ably preached by Rev W. T. Osborne, and in it a valuable lesson to our young men was set forth. Mr. Peyton was a newcomer to Montana; but by his steady habits and upright livin he had made a host of friends, who mourn his demise. He was a nephew to our well-known citizen, Wm. Mason, as well as a cousin of J. L. Ellis', who have the sympathy of all in their bereavement. A lamentable feature was that Mr. Peyton was to have been married to one of our estimable young ladies the 26th of this month; but cruel fate had decreed otherwise and at whose command we all bow in humble acquiescence.

Church Sunday Evening The local Lodge of Odd Fellows made a great showing on the occasion of their annual sermon, which was preached by Rev. W. T. Osborne at St. James Sunday evening. The Lodge was out in full regalia, and presented an imposing appearance. The Household of Ruth also were in attendance, and took part in the exercises of the evening, which were very interesting as well as instructive. Rev.] sborne preached one of the best sermons ever delivered in this city on a like occasion. An address on behalf of the Order by N. Ford was spendid as well as Mrs. Ed. Johnson's address on behalf of the Household of Ruth. The responsive reading by the Order was conducted by W. R. Dorsey. Mrs. Clarinda Howard ably served in the capacity of Chorister. Mrs. W. Alexander, who has been stopping at the Boston Block, left Wednesday for Wallace, Idaho. Mrs. Dinah Brooks having closed her dining room will leave Sunday for Lewistown, her lodging house bein eft in charge of her sister, Mrs. Robinson. The Luzon Bees will again cross bats with the Hub Nine at Central Park Sunday. Do not fail to at end the Grand Benefit Concert at Electric Hall Thursday evening. Another Answers the Call John Andrews, formerly a member of the 24th and 25th Infantries, U. S. A., died at St. John's hospital last Tuesday of pneumonia, having contracted a severe cold at the ball grounds a week ago Sunday. He was a gentlemanly young man, and has a host of friends who will be pained to learn of his death. His funeral was held Friday, the services being conducted from Flaherty's-Chapel Rev. W. T. Osborne officiating. Mrs. B. Moore of Anaconda is visiting in the city, a guest of the Walton House. We wonder why a certain young lady asked us if THE PLAINDEALER was going to say anything about her this week. A. P. CURTIN, Vice President C. B. PFEIFFER, Asst. Cashier R. O.
