Chippewa river. The floods occasioned by
the recent heavy rains, have bursted the
Dells reservoir, resulting in the innunda-
ton OF large territories and the rushing
from OF these e, 6ooms of over20OO, O0O, 600 feet
Of logs: They are now en- route to the
Mississippi, uncomfortable. Perhaps 25
per cent: of them will be lost. The total
loss, which will amount at least to 81 ,000,-
goo, falls principally on the Mississippi
River Valley Association. All the boats
that can be secured are being sent up the
river loaded with lines to catch the logs.
The citizens are greatly alarmed at the
threatened consequences, and probably
100 families, residing mostly in the Third,
Fourth and Fifth wards Of Eau Claire were
obliged to desert their homes and seek ref
uge elsewhere. A Chippewa Falls special
says: From Friday night to Sunday, the
Chippewa river rose twenty-four feet, and
the entire upper river is cleared of logs
Both bridges at Chippewa Falls, were
swept away, and on Duncan Creek, except
one. The guard locks of the dams were
swept away, and fears are entertained that
it will carry off the lower part of the city.
The total loss will probably reach one mil
lion dollars. The Chippewa Lumber Co.
lost nearly all their longs, piers and booms,
but will commence as soon as the water
subsidies, to repair. About twenty million
feet of logs remain in the pocket at the
dells of Eau Claire, but will probably go
out with the rest. The Badger mills, six
miles below the city were carried away.
The French numbering companny's big mill
at Grand Island will be badly damaged.

Twenty-Five Years a Prisoner. I

Twenty-Five years ago the iron gate of
Auburn prison closed with a clang upon
William Comstock. Maddened by
whisky: he had slain his father and
mother in. Brookfeld, n. Y. Inasmuch
as the double murder was committed
while the man wild with delirium
tremens, he was permitted to plead
guilty to nallslaughter in the first de-
gree, which he did, and was sentenced
by Judge Hiram Gray to imprisonment
for the term of his age. Comstock was
81 years Of age. During all these twenty
two years he has not been outside the
prison walls, and now at the age of 50, is
as ignorant of the world as the mewling
infant in his mothers arms. When he
entered the institution he had no occu-
patton, and up to twelve years ago he
was employed in what is known as the
state shop at all kinds of work. Since
then he has been in the tailor shop.
Comstock in many respects is a remark
able man. When sent to prison he was
a physical wreck from the effects of
drink. Now he is apparently a perfect
specimen of manhood. Tall erect with
robust form, disease seemed Il stranger
to his frame. Comstock is one of the
most orderly and we'll behaved convicts
in the institution. He has not been so
much as reprimanded for a misdemean-
or. He is industrious and has not been
absent a day from his labor. He has
faith to believe that friends will some
time interest themselves in him and en-
deavor to secure a pardon. Twice APP
plications for pardon have been made
to the governor, but both times a broth
er has opp osed him. Major William H.
Boyle, the principal keeper believes that
Comstock, if released now would make
Il good citizen. He has lost is taste for
liquor, and maintains that he knew
nothing of his deed.

THE electoral count resolution has

CAPT. WILLIAM B. RE,1EY, of the Mar

nominated by the president to be Judge
Advocate General Of the navy with the

Forty clerks have been discharged from

The senate has confirmed Virgil D.

ALL the regular annual appropriation

hands of the conference committee, and
the deficiency bill with the senate. The
total amount appropriated is $lS4 ,691 ,062.
REPRESENTATIVE Bright, from the COM
mittee on claims, has presented report in
the case of Myra Clark Gaines. The COM
mittee, without attempting to adjudge the
validity of the claim Of Mrs. Gaines
against the United States, say the case
ought to be reported to the court of claims
for adjudication, and report bill to carry
out this recommendation.
AMONG the other work Of the house was
the passage Of resolution of particular
interest to the laboring class, declaring
eight hours days work. This only APP
plies to government employees, but the ad-
vocates of the custom at large will prob
ably find comfort in the fact that the gov
eminent has set the example. Both parties
has no political significance.
WASHINGTON is given over to politics.
The sessions of congress are very thinly
attended. The galleries are empty, and
there are more members in the cloak-room
talking politics than on the floor tending
to business. Speculation as to the Cincin-
natl convention is rife, and the claims of
more than a dozen candidates are canvassed
with v;gor. The current of sentiment
among democrats sets rapidly toward an
eastern man for president, and Thurman,
of Ohio, for vice president. This is not
mere speculation, but there is an active
pressure brought upon Thurman to get
him to see the beauty of this nomination.
AS yet he has not seen it.
