THE RUSH
 OF 1898 To the KOtzebue Sound
 Country. STORY NDW REVIVED By the Reported Rich Strike on the Shunnak Riyer.--
 Other Notes.
STORY N0yN REVIVED

The reported strike on the Shunnak, q tributary of the kobuk. as ha, been l fully detailed in these columns, recalls i the great stampede to that section il the spring of lN9S. Quite d number of ] those argonauts who sailed from Seat l tie in search of gold. sub-equtn' Iy came to Nome and many of them are still here. Among these are W. II. l Campbell, of the North Star restaurant, and Capt. w. II. Tate. In an interest ing talk few days ago with NUGGET representative Mr. Campbell told Ul 1 the gene,i, of the stampede. The or 1 iginator was man named Cooper, who claimed that he had deserted from q whaler in Kotzebue sound, and had made his way up the kobuIl river as far as the Amhler, on which stream he picked up or dug out 2l nuggets. These he exhibited on his return to Seattle. Cooper belonged to the Masonic fraternity and d number of prominent Masons of seattle became interested in his story, and the schooner Moonlight was chartered for the trip.
 Cooper had shown a map of the To- cality where he alleged he had found the nuggets. to d Seattle man named Graham. Then he went to San Fran cisco and investigation showed that he had sold his nuggets at the mint. The map was left with Graham.
 Soon there was quite an excitement caused by Coopers story. and Mr. Campbell. w. B. Thomp,on and mum Der of others chartered the schooner | Eachrett. which was wrecked in the | fall of 1899 on St. Lawrence island. This party left Seattle on April 26, 1898 and on June 26 they anchored to a grounded iceberg off where Nome now stands. On July i they got into Shis- maret1 inlet and the Quaker mission on kotzebue was reached July 9, the Moonlight, with 60 persons having ar rived d few hours earlier.
 Cooper wa, to have returned. and, il fact. he started northward in smal schooner with three other men, but the boat was wrecked near Naldes, ano Cooper was drowned.
 The other argonauts landed theil goods and chattels in Hotham inlet anC up the kobuk they went as fast as pos sble to the mouth of the Amber and then 1J miles up the right fork Mr. Campbell and party passed 300 per sons, all intent on getting up the ko bulk. each erdeavoring to get ahead o the other. Some prospecting was done | but there were few miners, and tht l largest nugget found was worth abou three cents. Campbell ard part, crossed over the divide to the Noatak where more prospecting was done: col ors were found nearly everywhere b. nothing more. Then they came dOwl to the mission and went up the Selawi! where they spent the winter. The. did not reach the alleged scene of tn, strike, however, and, in fact, it wa never found so far as known. In tn, spring of 1899 Mr. Campbell crossed tt tue Koyukuk and thence down tn, Yukon to St. Michael, where the part. | first heard of the Nome strike.

The Rec and His Useful Sting.

Ii will be a surprise to many to learn
that the most important function of
the bees sting is not singing, says Il
bee raiser. have long been convinced
that the bees put the finishing touches
on their artistic cell work by the dcx-
ferrous use of their stings, and during
this final finishing stage of the process
of honey making the bees inject mi
mute portion of formic acid into the
honey.
This is in reality the poison of their
sting. This formic acid gives to honey
its peculiar flavor and also imparts to
it its Keeping qualities. The sting is
really au eXquisitely contrived little
trowel with which the bee finishes off
and caps the cells when they are filled
brimful with honey. While doing this
the formic acid passes from the point
of the sting, and the beautiful work is
finished

fear the sting ray most. 1t is poison

PLANT EVOLUTION.
Cultivation Has Done Wonders For
Fruit and vegetables.

Fruit and vegetables.
There are few more wrongly named
things in the world than the Jerusa-
lem artichoke. In the first place, it new
er came from Jerusalem at all. And in
the second it is not really an aFtichoke,
but n sunfiower with its tubers devel-
oped by cultivation.
Cultivation has done wonders for
fruit and vegetables.
For instance. through its means
peaches, apricots and nectarines have
been developed from the almond, to
which family all three fruits belong.
There is little apparent connection be-
tween the wild crab Of the Eedgerows
and a Newtown p,ppin, but both are
members of the same genus. Indeed,
It is from this same aid crabapple
that the whole of the 100 odd existing
varieties of apples have been raised.
Technically speaking. too, the pear
is an apple, and so are the medlar ana
the mountain ash, which latter is not
an ash at all.
Is a turnipa cabbage? Yes. one va
riety Mt least of it is. This is the queer
vegetable known as kohirabi, which,
although classed by scientists among
the Brassica, or cabbage. family, has
huge roots just like turnip.
The cucumber is really a fruit and
not q vegetable. The same remark ap-
plies to the tomato, which is really a
fruit also.
The gooseberry is currant. 1t is not
the least like it in either appearance or
flavor, yet both belong to the same
family Of RIDES.
The onion is a charming little flower
its various species bearing white, yell
low, blue and rose colored blossoms,
many produced in beautiful dropping
clusters. Originally the onion was a
Towering plant, but the cultivation of
certain Of its varieties has produced the
now world famous vegetable.
When is a chestnut not chestnut!
When it is horse chestnut This is
another of the curiOsities of the classi-
fication of horticultural nomenclature.
The horse chestnut is dIsculus, and the
other kind Castanea.-Stray Stories.

1t might be readily supposed that the

On the contrary these hand coverings

the great Cyrus once forgot his gloves
on an important occasion. From the
earliest times the. manufacture Of
gloves has been an important trade in
France, and in 100 Charlemagne grant
ed an unlimited right to the abbot and

eonjectured by some that the Saxons

Z R1oTikG AT DUBUQUE.
otate Troops Called Out to Dispense
the Mobs.

r.
dubuque, a., June TIA small
crowd stoned the street cars, which
resumed running, after a weeks idle
ness, with nonunion men, The sheriff
called out the soldiers and they were
on guard with Calling gun. The
nnes were closed after dark. The
soldlers then marched to the camp
OF the nonunion employees.
A mob of 1000 paraded the streets,
shouting at the nonunion men. The
mop got beyond control late in the
afternoon and surrounded the COM
pany's power plant and broke every
window in the building. A squad of
police and militia finally dispersed the
rioters. From the power plant the
MOB marched to the car barns, where
II broke into the building and before
the militia reached the scene had
wrecked the windows of all the cars
and partially wrecked the cars. When
the troops arrived the mob ceased the
work of destruction. After lining up
the soldiers in front of the barn Cap
tain Thryft addressed the mob. While
ne was speaking several bricks we're
thrown from the rear of the crowd
over the heads of the soldiers. Thryft
ordered the soldiers to load and get
ready to fire. This order awed the
mob, which then dispersed.
Sheriff Stone has explained the sit.
uatlon to Adjutant General Byers and

TRANSFERS SET FIRES,
Crawford and Tharp Acquitted Of Ar.
son at Jackson, Ky.

Jackson, Ky, June 1.-THE arson
cases were disposed of Tuesday, when
Crawford and Tharp, teamsters for
Hargis, were set free and no indict-
ments were returned by the grand
jury. Some expressed the opinion
that the murder cases will close the
same way today when Jet and White
would also be released. And what
might follow is the question. It is
said by those who will talk even
secretly on the matter that the grand
jury was composed Of residents of
Breathhitt county, drawn by those who
are identified by the dominant faction
and all were connected with it and no
indictments of any kind were expect
ed from a jury drawn from this coun-
ty. But the jury trying Jett and
White are from another county and
for that reason a verdict of convic-
ton may be returned.
The secret departure from this place
of the Even family and his arrange
ments to get away is taken as an in
dlcation that his life was not consid-
cred safe even after his property was
destroyed. 1t is thought those charged
with the destruction of the hotel on
Sunday were not as culpable as those
lying in wait to kill Captain Even
when he ran to the fire, and that only
hired agents would have been appre-
hended in any event.
