GLACIERS ROAR OVER ALASKA.
Monstrous River Of Ice Crunch
Through Far Northern Valleys.

Juneau. Alaska, July ia great
glacier in Rainy Hollow, near Hams,
Alaska, is moving at the prodigious
rate Of IL feet q day Huge masses
of ice are falling with thunderous
noise over the precipice at whose
brink the glacier discharges.
This is season of glacial advance
all over Alaska. Never before has
such rapid extension of the ice rivers
been known in the history Of the
world. The theory is that avalanches
caused by earthquakes are responsible
for the increased flow. The National
Geographical society has an expedition
in Alaska studying the phenomenon.

Water Causes Stock and Fish to Die.

Water Causes Stock and Fish to Die.
Des Moines, lowa.-Health condi-
tons for stock on the farms along
the banks of the upper Iowa river
have reached such dangerous state
and complaints have become so num-
erous that the state has decided to
take a hand in the efforts now being
tho water is causing the stock to die
in great numbers and the fish to die
by the thousands.
The first complaints came to Attor-
ney General Byers from farmers who
charged that factories above them
were dumping their refuse into the
waters of the river and thus pollut-
ing the stream So numerous became
the complaints that the matter was
referred to the executive council for
action by the state The body direc-
ted that state official visit the up
per river and make thorough inves-
tigation.
The complaints state that stock
which drink the water soon become
deathly sick and in a short time die
Fish by the thousands are being
washed ashore dead. Rotting in the
sun they make a stencil that has
endangered the health Of every COM
munity situated along the banks Of
the river.
The owners of the factories deny
that they are dumping their refuse
into the river and claim that the
trouble comes from some substance
that has formed in the river.

stumbled out of cab almost into the
scandalized arms of Mrs. KlOpton. In
Is minutes l was in bed, with that
good woman piling on blankets and
blistering me in unprotected places
with hot-water bottles. And in an
hour I had had Whit of chloroform
and Dr. Williams had set the broken
bone.
/ dropped asleep then, waking in
the late twilight to a realization that
I was at home again, without the pa
'pers that meant conviction for Andy
Bronson, with a charge of murder
hanging over my head, and with some
thing more than an impression of the
girl my best friend was in love with,
a girl moreover who was almost as
great an enigma as the crime itself
"And I'm no hand at guessing rid
dies" 1 groaned half aloud. Mrs.
Klopton came over promptly and put
a cold cloth on my forehead.
"Euphemia," she said to some one
outside the door, telephone the doc

he has switched from green ribbons

After that I subsidized like pricked

that she would go to friends in the

The surprising change in her held
me speeches.. All the animation Of
the breakfast table was gone; there
was no hint Of the response with
which, before, she had met my non
sensical sallies. She stood there,
white-lipped. unsmiling, staring down
the dusty road. One hand was clench-
ed tight over some small object. Her
eyes dropped to it from the distant
road, and then closed, with a quick,
indrawn breath.
Her color came back slowly What
ever had caused the change, she said
nothing. She was anxious to leave at
once, almost impatient over my de-
Iiberate masculine way of getting my
things together. Afterward recalled

we hunted mutual friends, we laughed
together at my feeble witticisms, but
we put the horror behind us resolute-

the green ribbons that brought back
the strangeness of the situation.

that Alison West was deliberately put

Evidently the lack of head covering
had troubled her, for she was elated'
