The Founder of Juneau.
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.


A writer in one of the city papers recent
ly gave what purported to be a correct
story of the founding of the town of
Juneau. in Alaska. by Narcisse Juneau.
eldest son of Solomon Juneau. AS the story.
as written. was not based upon facts, a
gentleman writes the Wisconsin as follows
regarding the real facts:
In communities ton to the Sunday Sem
tinel OF December 5, correspondent gives
what purportS to be partial history of
the adventures of Narcisse Juneau. eldest
son of Solomon Juneau. The writer of the
article although undoubtedly sincere in CIV
ing credit to Narcisse Juneau, is, probably
rnwittingly, ro5bing another member of the
illustrious and numerous family of Juneau
of the honor and glcry of penetrating the
then unknown and almost inaccessible
second cousin of Solomon Juneau, and
died ON Market street in this city, belongs
all the credit which the correspondent gives
to Narcisse. Joseph Juneau, now about
seventy years of age, is still resident of
Alaska, and is undoubtedly in the heart
of the Klondike region. as he signified his
intention Of going to Circle City, in letter
to relatives in this city, written from San
Francisco the latter part of last winter.
NarciSse juneau left Theresa in this
state, about thirty-five years ago and To-
Gated in Kansas. where he lived and died,
leaving numerous progeny and modest
fortune. The foregoing statements are
facts. but not history.

The Teeth Affecting the Eyesight
From the New York Ledger.
1t is not generally understood fact that
the condition of the teeth has much to do
with the health. beauty and usefulness of
the eyes. That an liberated tooth will
often cause extreme Inflammation of the
eyes is true, and case is reported Of al
most total blindness caused by the teeth
crowding together. A half-grown boy, who
had complained of almost incessant uneasi-
ness in his jaws and had been visited with
periodical attacks of the most violent tooth
ache, retired one night in his usual condi-
ton. but upon awakening the next morning
it was discovered that he was blind. he
eyes presented a most unnatural appear
ance and the countenance was strained and
distressed After good deal of investiga-
ton it was decided to remove some of his
teeth and see if this would afford relief.
Six teeth were extracted and the boy given
sedative treatment. After a few days the
sight became normal and there has been no
return of the difficulty. Children who ap-
pear to have too many teeth should be
carefully looked after, especially If they
complain of their eyes in any way. Some
times the symptoms are only secondary,
but an acute diagnostician will speedily de-
tect the exact state of the case.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, December 49,
Champion Robert Fitzsimmons, who is
playing an engagement in this city. in
commenting on the McCoy-Creedon fight,
said:
II do not take the rumor that Mccoy
will challenge me seriously. There are
plenty Of people ready to challenge me now
that I have retired from the ring. Mccoy
is entitled to no special credit for whip
ping Creedon. Creedon has not been taking
care Of himself. and was ready for a de-
feat.
If he had been in the condition he was
at New Orleans when 1 defeated him a
year ago Mccoy would not have whipped
him. He is more than a match for Mccoy,
and I expected him to win.
Il will not fight the victor. I retired

Whatever may be said about the
publications of Rev. Irl r. Hicks
by those who do not understand
the facts, there is no denying the
truth that his paper and Almanac
have come to stay. His splendid
journal, Word and Works, is now
entering It's tenth year, largely in
creased in circulation and in every
way improved, until it deserves
the national reputation it has at
tanned. His 1897 Almanac is now
ready and is by far the finest and
most beautiful he has yet issued.
1t contains 108 pages, including
cover artistically printed in colors,
and is filed from back to back with
Just what is wanted in every shop
office, and home in America. One
feature of the Almanac for 1897 is
u series l2 original, beautifully en-
graved star maps, with explanatory
chapters, which could not be bought
for less than FIVE dollars in any
work on astronomy. AS Mr.. Hicks
has so correctly and faithfully
warned the public of coming
droughts, foods, cold waves, biz
yards, tornadoes, and cyclones, in
the years passed, aside from the
other varied and splendid features
of bis paper and Almanac, these
considerations alone should prompt
every family to subscribe at once
for 1897. The Almanac is only 25
cts. q copy. Word and Works is
one dollar year, and copy OF
the fine Almanac goes as a prem
ium with every yearly subscription.

The farmers OF Arkansas

IHE farmers OF Arkansas must
begin to work out some sort OF a
system of irrigation for crops.
While rains IN Arkansas are per-
haps as regular as in any state in
the Union, yet we believe the
production could be almost doubled
by proper system OF irrigation.
A system must be had that will be
suff fciently cheap to leave hand
some profit. We should not be
forced to depend on the caprice OF
the weather for success of our
crops. While we can at all times
make enough for our necessities,
we desire to accumulate wealth and
in order t. be certain of this we
must have cheap system by which
we can irrigate. There is food for
the thoughtful along this line and
he who can satisfactorily solve
the problem will be a benefactor.
