snya that a flood raging In Cheim for
luvoral day had rendered homoler
700 to 1 ,000 people. The Howl waa
caused by a wind and rain atorm that
hitil recently swept tho Tanana valley.
Koyea' raw mill had leen swept

being lodged In front of Noyua' mill.
A largo log boom broke from ita moor
inga at tho Tanana Development com
pany's mill aud was carried down
stream, entailing a Ions of peroral
thousand dollars. Collars wore flooded
and In a fow Instances stock drowned.

of their homes In tho early hours aftor
midnight. Homes wero temporarily
provided for the ople and thoy woro
not allowed to go back to their wet
cabins for several days after the flood
bad subsided.

British Feeling Against Qormany.
Ilerlln, Aug. 8. If tho kalwr meets
King Kdwnrd next week at Frankfort,
hu will, according to authority there,
tell his undo that, while Germany does
not want war with Kngland neverthe
less tho present atmosphere of mutual
hatred, Jealousy and suspicion must bo
destroyed or Hiiro will remain in
danger of an explosion. King Kdward
will lm given to understand that Ger
many buhls England responsible for tho
creation of this situation.
The correspondent is informed that
tho consequence to which tho present
situation may lead aro now causing
Gcrmany'a rca-onalb!o state. men the
deepest anxiety. Tlieso possible conse
quences filled a large place In the
kaisers' recent interviews with King
Oscar, of Sweden, with King Chris
tian, of Denmark, and with the cxar.
There Iiavo been official attempts to
render lei apparent and to ohscuro tho
seriousness of tho situation, but Vil

concerned over England's constantly
Increasing hatred of Germany. It is
thought that this hatred is now more
virulent than over before.

much (peculation was rife throughout

nine months of constant hardship and

In 1800-7 ho was engaged In a geo
graphical exploration to tht western
part of the Louisiana territory, In the
course of which he discovered that
mountain In tht Rockies that is namod
after him, "Pike's Teak." His work
carried him to the Rio Grands Elver,
and having been found In Spanish -territory,
he waa captured and Impris

member of the British Uoust of Com
mons for County Cork, Ireland, recalls
the drcumstanco
that ht was onco
sentenced by tho
British courts to
be banged, drawn
and quartered.
James Stephen
bad started that
v a s t conspiracy
known as Fenian
lim, one of the
moat formidable
movements against
tht British connection which bad been
put on foot since tht great rebellion
In the end of th previous century.
An insurrection broke out In several
counties In the south of Ixoland on
tht night of March S, 1607. Mr.
O'Brien at thla period was engaged In
business In Cork. IIo was already ap
proaching his fortieth year, and
seemed the last man In tht world to
bt called upon to bead a body oC
armed men. But wbtn the forces that
were callod out to meet at th tryst
lng place there was no leader of thost
who had betn expected to takt com
mand, and O'Brien spontaneously and
promptly took up the racant place,
and put himself nt the head of the
headless force. Then they started out
on their expedition, and first made f6r
some police barracks In the neighbor
hood. There was a brisk skirmish at
one of these barracks, and ultimately
the police agreed to surrender, and
O'Brion himself brought tht ladder to
tho wall of the barrack for the pris
oners to come forth. The humanity
with which h treated the connuereA
policemen 'M rometobored IjT
O'Brien's faTOr afterwards. Hla tri
umbp was short-lived! the aoldlera
came up, and O'Urien was arretted,
and transmitted to gaol. In due timer
came a series of Btate trials, and
O'Brien was convicted of treason and
sentenced to be hanged, drawn and
quartered. The aentenct was, how
erer, commuted to one of penal servi
tude for ltfo, and he spent several
years In the convict gaols of England.
When an amnesty camo he waa re
leased and returnod to business, and
likewise to revolutionary propaganda.
He was a member of tht governing
body of tbo Fenian organization. Sub
sequently, when Parnell started the
Iaud League, Mr. O'Brien's views un
dcrwent somo modification, and In
18S5, when the reduction of the fran
chlso In Ireland gave Mr. Parnell bU
first chanco of electing a large party,
O'Brien stood for a division of Mayo
nnd was elected. At a later date ho
became a bitter opponent of the Par
nell faction of tho Irish party.

Yassar girls tell a good one on an
ancient and veuerablo Instructor of
paleontology at that Institution ot
learning. From tlmo Immemorial It
had been his custom at rocltatlon to
call on tho young ladles In alphabetical
order, beginning at tho beginning ot
the alphabet each new term, aud call
lng on three pupils oach day. It did
not take tho girls very long to figuro
out Just when their turn would come,
aud neglect or prepare the lesson ac
cordingly. After many years of this
system tho professor was shocked and
grieved to find out how the young Por
tias wero taking advantage of him,
Ho spoko to tno girls soverely of tho
wickedness and folly ot such conduct
