She of His
Hearts Desire

Irkov brought the thick-handled,
quick-tapering, nippy little quirt down
upon his heavy black boot with a
bang; cracking snap, and he laid it
to his Cossack pony. Then plunging,
they dashed along the high fence next
the black palace. Oh, but it was good
to live!
The keen air stung Irkov's lungs,
his quick blood leapt along, his spirit
leapt, his voice leapt-leapt into the
old barbarian yell. He laughed, he
yelled !ests to his companions in the
riding yard, as he stood on his horses
back and cut the pony about the ears
-"brr-oop"-but it was good to live.
Always he kept near the high fence.
Graceful, abandoned, reckless, he
swung along toward the Nevsky gate
An, there she was. "Oh, ho-my
sweet" he called-"Ha ha" The lit

ant.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha," his ringing
laugh bore down on her like stream
of golden coins from heaven.
All she was fascinated truly; that
handsome face under the great fur
cap, that 1.-the figure balanced on the
reined horse that brilliant smile
ah, for her, too, it was good to live.
"Good~by, good-by, little sweetheart,
till we meet again." and he threw her
kiss, then he cut savagely at the
pony and was swiftly in his seat
Plunging and rearing, they went down
the great yard by the black palace.
Irkov had felt something was up
ever since the 200 from Kief had been

DOES A DEER DRINK?
Proof That He Does Not Able to
Overcome Contrary Belief.

Now that it seems established that
chipmunk can climb tree if it feels
so disposed, the investigations of
amateur naturalists are turned toward
the question whether deer ever
drinks. The matter is not easy of solu-
ton and lacks somewhat in the popu-
larity of the original problem because
so few have ever seen a deer either
wild. or in a geological garden. We
have been frequently asked to decide
this point of late and have referred all
questioners to the superintendent of
the gardens in this city, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer That a deer does
drink is established by unquestioned
authority, but it has no influence upon
the masses who have a contrary opin-
ion.
That a person never saw deer
drink is no, criterion. No one ever
saw an eagle in a wild state feed it's
young, but the young are fed. The
deer belongs to class of mammalia
which do not greatly differ among
the most part the body of them all, in
Guiding the genus homo, consists of
about seven-eighths water and the
rest certain other chemical sub
stances, which it is not necessary to
give here. Any mamma must drink
a good deal. That the deer may drink
less than the ordinary four-footed
beast is possible, though we have not
the data at hand for demonstration.
Some animals get most of their water
from vegetables, but the deer in cap
tivity does drink when. he gets a
chance and probably does in his wild
state. Every deer run in the country
is near watering place.
But, after all, why seek such testi-
mony as rHa1 of hunters or keepers of
zoos? Have not all of us seen for
many years the pictures of Sir Edwin
Landseer? Does he not show us
many deer in the act of drinking
That ought to settle the question.

They gave a great yell. Here was
action at last, and scrambling into
loose line, the regiment swung across
The bridge and down into the city.
They found an excited mob in the
square. Old Ivan, the druggist, was
leading an uniformed mass, men, wom-

THE Jews-they killed another on
Christmas-to the Jews-down with
the Jews!" and the frenzied crowd
crashed in it's mad hurry against the
doors and windows of Abram Ovitch's
tailor shop, breaking them down.
The old man was standing behind
his high desk as they came. He had
known it was coming, but was re-
solved. His family was long gone,
thank God; but now to blessed Amer
lea. In his hand was the great ruler
with which he measured his cloth. He
defended himself for a moment, then
went down in welter; they trampled
over him and rushed on to ransack the
shop.
AS the crowd rushed out again into
the street, Irkov almost ran down the
druggist, and got a good cursing
Irkov laughed at him.

tell,-the mob left the dead outraged
bodies in the smoldering ruins of the
house.
They had become beasts. They
laughed at sight of a new victim. They
yelled in glee at fresh blood,-and they
were getting rich; for these Jews had
much merchandise.

the affair. He couldn't see the fights

kept the crowd at bay.

He fought valiantly, lodging the

sword bit and cut and tore like a thing

down all who opposed and missing the

Bishops Pedestrian, Tour.

Bishop Coleman of the Episcopal d.
ocese of Delaware, after vacation of
ten days, has returned to Wilmington.
AS is his custom, the bishop spent the
entire ten days on pedestrian tours.
He straveled through the western por-
ton Of Pennsylvania and Maryland.
Those who entertained him were not
aware that he was a dignitary Of the
church. He would not give out any
Of the details of the trip, saying that
he would use the material gathered
for lectures that he would deliver for
charity. He said, however, that he
had walked 210 miles and laughingly
remarked he did not think that was
bad for an old man.

w. II. Holmes, chairman of com mittee appointed by the grand jury to investigate the Fairbanks jail and depu ty marshal's office, presented a minority report censuring Deputy Marshal George Drcibelbis. This minority report said there were many complaints from those confined in the jail of severe treatment at Dreibelbis's hands. Further on Mir. Holmes said: ''It has been proven to my satisfaction that requests have been made by prisoners for medical aid and medicines, and that the said requests were often denied and ignored for days at time, if granted at all. It seems to me that George preibelbis appears to diagnose the case and act accordingly, instead of calling a competent physician or at least one who has intelligence on the subject. And 1 respectfully invite your honor's attention to this one phase oi the matter and request, in the name "t humanity. that it bc corrected" The report was ordered fled.

SURVEY
McPherson Party Off For the Outside.
 Other Work.

Frank Rogers, a member of McPher- sons survey party, working westward from The Rapids on the Fairbanks Council route, came up on the Louise and reports the work on that section of the route suspended for the season. The preliminary work was finished to a point beyond the old telegraph station on the Koyukuk. It was found that there was no hope of connecting with the east-bound party. McPherson and his men are bound outside by way of St. Michael. Daniel Jones and party, working this way, were fortyfve miles from Council Aug.
 Surveyor John Bernard started for Eureka Monday to meet Lieutenant Pillsbury, of the Alaska Road Commis- sion, who is coming from Fairbanks. They are expected in Rampant today.

GRAND JURY GOLD STRIKE
Made on Chandlar. :. Nothing Definite
 About It.

For some weeks rumor has been going around that strike has been made on the Chandlar. Nothing defi- nite could be learned about it; but when the mail launch Relief arrived from up river last night it was ascer- tained that good many people are going in from this side and that Cold foot has stampeded across the Koyukuk Chandlar divide.
 Engineer F. Decker, of the launch, said apparently all that was known at Fort Yukon was contained in letter sent out by Coldfoot man, which did not give many particulars.
 There is gold bearing belt crossing the Chandlar, the Hosiana, the Dall and extending on in southwesterly direction which has been looked on with favor for some time.
 At least seven men have been in the Hosiana this summer. Men on the launch say Ed Greenough and his part ner have just come out from there with little coarse gold. They appear to have come from the righthand branch of the extreme lefthand fork, where prospects have been found before Of course they had not heard of what was going on on the Chandlar side of the divide.

 That Raphael will be indicted is not considered likely, he having earned im- munity through putting the officers of the law in touch with the facts which at last led to the recovery of the gold and the conviction of the culprit.

 On the close of navigation mail will be dispatched weekly from Eagle and Panama and weekly schedule main- tained all the time except during the period oi unavoidable delay just after the close.

Wastes No Time on Green---A Kick at
 DreibelbiS.

We have investigated certain charges made against Commissioner Green, of of Rampant, and find them unwar- ranted and unworthy the notice of this grand jury.-Grand Jury's report, Fair banks, Sept. s.
 That is the brief story of the outcome of the furry of agitation that thrilled a certain coterie of residents when it was announced few weeks ago that charges had been preferred against the commissioner, and that C. B. Allen, q leader in the matter, would leave the district if Judge Green remained in office.
 If Mir. Allen is in earnest in the re- solve he was said to have taken, Good bye, My Honey, Goodbye" From the Alaska Weekly Bulletin, Fair
 banks, Sept.S.
 Probably no man in the country has more friends than Judge J. Lindley Green, the commissioner at Rampant.
 A lot of ''ward heelers," Messrs. Win gate, Allen, Wells, Hudson and others, who could not use him, preferred charges of corruptness in office and a lot of other charges, which the grand jury, i'll it's report this morning, said were wholly without foundation and unwor- thy of consideration"
 It is too bad there is no way of pun ishing irresponsible people who make charges through spite.
