OBITUARY..
HARVEY C. BRYANT.

Harvey G. Bryant was born In Oak
land, N. y, September Q, 1851. and died
In Chicago, Ill, March 81, 1898. At the
age of nine years he came with his
parents to Michigan, residing In Moscow
and Somerset until the spring of 1871,
when he went to Chicago to engage in
business, where he remained nearly all
the time for 23 years. He was married
TO Miss Lottie Steele, March, 1880, and In
February, 1881, daughter was born to
them who survives her father. In 1894,
his health falling. he came to Michigan
to recuperate staying with his parents at
Somerset Center and his sister at North
Adams. He was married to Miss Carrie
Fowle, of Moscow, May l, '95, and re-.
sided at North Adams until the spring Of
'97, when, being improved in health, he
returned to Chicago to again engage In
business. He was converted In 1879 and
Identified himself with the Baptist de-
nomination. He was member OF the
Y. M, G. A., also of the |. D. 0. +. He
was a quiet, unobtrusive man, familiar
with few, but with those always an
agreeable companion, loving, faithful
son, never falling to aid his parents to
the extent of his ability. On February
90 he was found in his room overcome by
escaping gas; he was speedily cared for
and so far recovered that he was con-
sidered out Of danger, when unexpected
iy he was attacked by other diseases
which terminated in heart and brain
trouble until he was considered In a
dangerous condition. His relatives were
telegraphed for, but none were able to
60, being In poor health, except his sis
ter, to whom he was devoted brother,
who fastened to his bedside and was
cheered by finding him surrounded by
intimate friends of long standing. All
that skilled physicians and loving friends
could do was promptly performed, but
of no avail, and on March 81 he passed
to the great beyond. His sister returned
with his body, which was taken to his
home at North Adams. The funeral was
held In the oongreg gational church, Rev.
Baxter officiating. The floral offerings
from friends In Chicago were beautiful,
while other designs from friends at home
were also presented. His stricken
parents, his sorrowing sister, his lonely
wife mourn their irreparable loss, but
desire to express their sincere thanks
and appreciation to all who so kindly as
sisted them In their severe affiiction, to
Rev. Baxter for sympathy and words of
comfort; to those who so beautifully dec
Grated the church; to the male quartet
who so sweetly rendered the beautiful
music, and so tenderly bore their loved
one to his last resting place In the beau
tiful cemetery at North Adams.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.

After an exceedingly turbulent ses-
sion of six hours the House passed the
naval appropriation bill. The war
spirit was manifest in all the speeches
and overrode the naval committee by
increasing the number of torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers to pa, the
bill as reported providing for but II.
Chairman Cannon, of the appropria-
tions committee, attempted to reduce
the number of battleships from three
to one, but was buried under an over
whelming majority. The effort to de-
crease the price of armor plate from
S400 to $500 per ton was drowned in
a perfect chorus of nays. Mr.. Cannon
during the course of the day announced
the belief of a majority of the members
that war would be upon us within a
week, and Mr.. Dearmond, of Missouri,
made notable speech declaring that
if hostilities were to come it was our
duty to strike the first blow.

200 PEOPLE DROWNED.
The Raging Ohio Burst Through "A Leves
at ShawneetoWn, Ill.

at shaWneetOWn, Ill.
Girard, ILL.,, reports message from
Shawneetown that the levee above the
city broke and the city is inundated.
The water backed up for five miles and
rushed down upon the city like a tidal
wave. After the message was received
telephone and telegraph communica-
tion with Shawneetown was suddenly
cut off. 1t is rumored that over 200
lives were lost.
Dispatches from Mt. Vernon, Ind,
about 80 miles from Shawneetown, and
other points thereabouts confirm the
first reports.
Shawneetown is city of 1000 in
habitants on the Ohio river, and is sit
uated in a valley of extremely low
land, with hills skirting it in the rear
and with a 25-foot levee in front, run
ming from hill to hill. The town is
very much in the position of fortified
city, and when the levee gave way
mile above the town under the pres
sure of the very high river, the water
shot through a 20-foot opening and
struck the place like hurricane,
sweeping everything before it. The
streets were parallel with the river,
the principal business street being but
two blocks distant from the water
The level of the river is about Is feet
above the city and the levee bank is
about 30 feet thick.
1t was known that a slight break
had been made in the levee, but as it
was built by the government and was
regarded as impregA liable, the people
had not feared a serious flood. When
the flood broke through like tidal
wave houses were turned and tossed
about like boxes. The people who
were at home sought refuge in
the second stories and on house tops.
Those in the streets were carried be-
fore the avalanche of water and
probably a majority were drowned.
Citizens went from the place by skiffs
to telephone several miles away and
asked aid from Evansville. They said
that more than 200 people had been
drowned, and they had reason to be-
lieve that it would reach 500 or even
1000. The water stands from 20 to 30
feet all over the town. 1t is reported
that the flood now extends four miles
inland, and people are fleeing for their
lives from the lowland hamlets.
