THOUSANDS PERISH.
Terrible Result of Recent Floods in

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 8.-Great floods
caused by the overtlowing of the Yang
tse have caused the death of many
thousands in China, The river has
risen 40 feet and for hundreds of miles
the country is a great lake with only
tops of trees and an occasional roof
showing. At Anking the town is flood
ed, some of the houses to their roofs.
At Kin Kiang, the native town is flood
ed and two feet of water stands in the
foreign settlements. Lower down the
river towards Swu Hue, the destruc-
ton was greater, and boatmen esti-
mate that 10000 were drowned in the
district. Chong Teh was wiped away
by floods and 10000 were drowned
there, and many other points have
been Inundated. involving awful loss
of life and great destruction to prop
erty. It was feared an embankment
built by Chong Cheh Tung, near WI
Chang, would break and cause the
drowning of hundreds of thousands.

FRANK COLLIER DEAD,
A Chicago Lawyers Remarkable Ca
reeF Ends in Pain and
Poverty.

Chicago. Aug. 5. - Frank Howard
Collier has bid adieu forever to courts,
hospitals and asy.ums. The once IA
nous lawyer expired Saturday night
at 1880 o'clock in the county hospital,
to which place he had been taken July
rs last. victim of paralysis of the
legs. No relatives witnessed his pass
ing, only ply sician and the nurses of
the institution being present when his
earthly troubles ended.
1.-THE career Of Collier has been notable.
Before the assault that changed a brilliant
attorney into an extravagant and irrespon-
sible person he was one Of the most note
worthy figures at the: bar<of this city: He
was counsel for the west park board, at
torney for the Chicago. Burlington &
quincy railroad, member of the board of
education and member of many clubs. his
practice was large and he had fortune of
over 100000. He was selected as the Amer
lean attorney for London paper in the
P1ggott forgery case, and when he visited
England was presented to Queen Victoria.
During heated political campaign in 1889
Collier was attacked by two unknown men
and severely beaten. His skull was frac-
tured and he was for many weeks between
life and death. When he recovered from
the physical injuries his mind was wrecked
and he began to waste his property. He
had what French experts call circular
Insanity. He was worse at certain period
each year, than at other times. Later Col
lier was placed in custody as a demented
person. and remarkable series Of trials
to decide the question of his sanity fol-
lowed. The once clever lawyer had not
forgotten all his legal lore. He acted as
his own attorney and regained his liberty
time and again. only to break out in a
short time and be once more placed in an
asylum. He was in the Dunning and Kan
kakee asylums, but never for long periods.
He had trial by II men before Judge
kohlsaat in September, 1899, tina was one
of the most extraordinary on record. Col
Tier put such astonishing questions to the
medical experts and placed them in such
an unpleasant light that they were glad 10
escape his sarcasm. The jury found Col
Her sane and restored to him his property,
valued at $4,000. Later this was parti-
toned between his wife and children, the
house at 623 Jackson boulevard being re-
tained by the lawyer. Here he lived alone,
trying to build up practice. He gradu-
ally became so poor that he would accept
police court case for any fee offered.]

Hesslan Fly.

Professor f. B. Forbes, acting state
entomologist, is about to issue a bulle-
tin on the Hessian fly, which he con-
siders is the next pest that Minnesota
farmers will have to fight. The fly
caused some damage to the crops in
1895 and 1899, but the operations were
small compared with what they. are
likely to be unless the farmers take
measures to head it Off. Reports of
damage from over the statefare mea-
ger, owing to the ignorance of the
farmers concerning the fly. =,
The system of summer fallowing is
held responsible for the increase in
these insects. 1t permits them to
hatch their eggs and escape. The ro-
tation of crops is considered one of the
surest means of doing away with the
pest. The fly must be fought syste-
