WHY WE BOUGHT ALASKA,

f Prof. Geo. P. Wilcox, of Chicago,
reveals in the Coagregationakist what pur-
ports to be we'll kept secret Of the late
war. He says that the purchase of Alas.
ka from Russia by the United States
Government in 1867 was for the pur-
pose of paying debt which President
Lincoln and Secretary Seward had con-
tracted. The story goes on to say that
at.the time when it looked as though
England and France were going to take
hold and help the Confederacy in ear
nest, President Lincoln secured from
Russia a fleet Of war vessels to help de-
fend our ports and to assist in maintain
ing the blockade. The presence of
Russian vessels off some of our harbors
was a mystery at the time, and they de-
parted as nlysteriously as they came.
Their departure was due to the fact that
the apprehended danger from England
and France did not materialize, and
then the question arose how could Rus
STA be compensated. President Lincoln
had used his war power freely, and Con-
gress had backed him up, but here was
a bill for millions, and he feared that he
would be criticised for mourning it,
although it was a wise thing to do when
he did it. While the President was
hesitating how to get att the war closed;
he was, assassinated, and Mr.. Seward was
left to solve the problem. Russia
wanted the money, but she appreciated
the situation and waited patiently.
Finally the project of getting Congress
to authorize the purchase of AL aska was
hit upon, and the $7,2O0,OOO that we
paid Russia for Alaska was really in
payment of the fleet bill, and Alaska was
thrown in. The secret was so we'll kept
that Gen. w. T. Sherman heard of it for
the first time in Russia, and he kept the
story to himself until a recent Army
Reunion.

THE CONCERT.

Those who attended the entertain
ment held in the Business Mems Club
Rooms on Tuesday evening enjoyed
rare treat.
Miss Lily Runals was engaged by the
Unity Society Of this city to give one of
her unique programs, and was aided by
Mrs. Louise Aldrich Williams, formerly
of this city, and our favorite baritone,
Mr.. VIM. McDermott. Of course the
main interest centered in Miss Runals,
who has not been heard in Kenosha in
two years. And the pleasure evinced
by the large audience who gathered to
hear her showed that the plaudits show
cred upon her by the immense audi
ences in the east who have passed judg-
ment upon our little western singer
have not been undeserved.
Mrs. Williams played with much
grace and expression. And Mr.. Nc
Dermott enlivened the program with his
quaint, humorous songs. Miss Runals
presented an entirely new program.
There is generally expressed desire
that she may give request program in
the Congrega tional church here, where
the marked improvement in her voice
may be heard to better advantage, and
where she can give her far-famed
Rock of Ages" and some other olt
tavorites with the pipe organ.
| We learn that the distinguished con
cert organist, Minor G. Baldwin, is abou
to make a flying trip west. And it is t
be hoped that our music-loving citizen
may make some effort to hear these two

grams, which has been pronounced b,

and thoroughly beautiful entertainment
