DROWNED IN SILVER CREEK
Sad Fate of a Five-Year-0ld Park
City Boy-Body Found After
Long Search.

Park City, June "A very sad incident
occurred here last evening between the
hours of and o'clock, when Willie
Donohue a child about years old, fell
into Silver creek and was drowned The
last time little Donohue was seen alive
was just after he had finished his supper
and it is supposed by the mother and
peighbors that he was playing near the
creek and fell in. He was not missed I'M
til nearly dark. when a search was made
for him. but without avail until some one
suggested that a thorough search of the
creek be made and so a searching party
was formed and after looking for several
hours. the child was found about three
blocks below where he had fallen in
The coroner was notified and after view
ing the remains the body was taken to the
undertaking parlors and the funeral ar
engagements made.
Ii is to be regretted very much that this
creek, which runs through the main part
of the city, is not covered. at least
through the business portion, for il seems
that each year a child is drowned and
some years more than one.

present is a flourishing organization. 1t
is possible that some compromise will be
made between the two organizations of

Speaking of the ''U'' club, one of its
organizers and a prominent alumnus of
the university said
This move is an outgrowth of the agi-
tation by the college students for several
years past for separate commencement
exercises and segregation from the
normal school, 1t has been brought TO a
head by the determined efforts of the
present graduating class in their de-
mands for separate commencement The

an alumni association of graduates whose
college standing is unquestionable and its
organizers are those who have the besc

New rk,-Eyery report from the

to show that Russia is locked in a

Economic conditions in Russia
make the plight of the sufferers
more terrible. They are peasants, un
educated, as is S5 per cent. of Rus
sia's who. population. Their one
means Of livelihood is farming, and
when Heaven denies the rain for the
crops, as was the case last year. their
only means of sustenance is gone.
Last year, in more than 100000
square miles of Russian territory
there was sowing but no reaping. The
earth was dry and unproductive, rob-
bing the peasant of even the little
store of seed sown which otherwise
he might nave used for food. There
no industries except farming, no
newspapers. practically no railroads,
in the land where famine stalks. II

and over fifty-nine one pound of
bread a day. Infants under one year
of age receive nothing, and all the
great majority between II and SO
receive nothing. Their one and only
hope for life is in sharing the pitiful-
lily small allowence of bread which
other members of the family receive.
In family Of six two, persons, on
an average will receive their pound of
bread eacn day which when divided
among the whole family means one
third Of a pound a day. That and
cold water-that is al. Many fami-
lies, of course have no members en-
titled to government assistance. There
is no escape no alternative, and the
small allowance must be divided
smaller yet in the struggle to sustain
life.
The Russian peasant does not eat
meat, his daily food being five pounds
of bread. He has now one-fifteenth
of mis- regular ration, if he has any
thing at all. The meaning of this
condition may become clearer to the
reader If he attempts to live one one
fifteenth of mis- daily share, say three
Meals every two weeks. For there
is practically nothing in the famine
district on which to support life.
Even the seeds of the weeds have
been eaten. The little horses on
which the peasants depends for his
plowing and general work, tne occa-
sional COW, all have been sod to pur'
chase bread. On the treeless steppes

The famine means a tremendous
setback to Russia. At present the
problem is how to obtain food. Later
will come the question of the future
of provinces and savings and have

ever, see promise of bette times

Awful Conditions.
Said one worker on the ground:
eve shall be fortunate II in Samara
alone we escape with two hundred
thousand deaths in a total of three
million inhabitants" And Samara is
but one of the twenty-one suffering
provinces. 1t is a staggering total.
Fortunately, and it is hoped not too
late, an effort is being made to enlist
the support of all humanity against
this enemy of famine. This country
has alweys been at the front in such
work. When Japan found herself
after the war with thousands suffer
ing for food. the United States sent
money to feed them. A similar move
ment has been started more recently
for the perishing poor of China. Now
Russia in ner extremity in fighting a
foe that has no part in international
alliances is turning TO this country.
AS a result of the visit to the
United States of Nicholas shiskoff. in
benalf of the famine sufferers, an or
ganized movement is already on foot
for the collection of funds. The Rus
sian Famine Relief Fund is now an
actuality. With headquarters at 1876
East 18th Street, New York City,
and with Bishop Potter as President
and DR.. Samuel Barrows as Secre-
tary it mas begun tn collection of
money for the fight against starva-
ton. There viii be no graft in the
administration of these funds, for
they will be applied by the society's
officers and not turned over to the
Russian government or its officials.
Every contribution will be acknowl-
edged by the Morton Trust Company
which is actinp as treasurer of the
funds.
Much is hoped for IN the way Of
contributions and a single sentence
tells their power. Eight dollars
will save the life Of an adult the next
harvest--five dollars tn life of a
child" says Mr.. Shiskoff. Such is the
sum that represents a human life.
What in this country means a visit
to the theater, or a couple Of pair of
gloves, in Russia means a chance to
live. It is a striking comparison of
relative values, and Of the final value
of life in Russia. And It is the be-
lief of DR.. Barrows and the other
workers of the Relief Committee that
the chances to save human life at
cost OF five dollars, to provide fol-
months OF sustenance for striving be-
ings at cost represnting hardly
more than Nhe price Of a single day,

starvation for his family. Those who

story to tell-no work. Even with
the limited number who nave done so
there are a hundred applicants for

Government Graft.
The best indication of the terrible
'privation that exists is the fact That
the Russian government has been
moved to action. In 1891, a famine
year, in which, however, the suffer-
ing was nothing compared to that of
this year, the government hit upon
the happy expedient of forbidding the
use of the word huger. This var the
situation is so much worse that the
government has spent about $35, 5,000,-
900 and is negotiating a loan Of $37,-
100000 more for famine relief. But
even such a sum is totally inadequate
to meet the situation as Mr.. Nicolas
Shiskofr, who is visiting this country
in behalf of the sufferers, and with
no political purpose, has pointed out.
Nor is It surprising when the expense
of carrying on such work over 1,500,-
900 square miles, almost without rail
roads. without newspapers or enlight-
enments, and among SO,000,OOO suf-
ferers, is remembered.
The sum appropriated by the St.
Petersburg government, moreover, Is
far in excess Of that which will reach
tn victims of the famine. Whatever
may be the general belief concerning
the modernity OF the Russian gov
ernment and its methods, its official:
the sufficiently up-to-date to know
the meaning OF graft. It is notori-
GUS that a Russian Official named
lGurko, the manager of the whole pur.
chase of relief supplies was recently
the centre Of such a scandal as caus-
ed even the government to take no
tice. After some months of work
under his administration 1t was found
that only about six hundred thousand

grain had been delivered instead Of
one hundred million puds which
should have reached the famine suf
