Hundreds of devoted friends in

to know Of the death Of w. w.
Wheeler, the sunday school mission
arr, who has done so much valuable
work in this part Of the state. Though
a man II rather frail constitution he
devoted his energies to his work with
an enthusiasm and persistency that
would have taxed the strength Of the
more rugged. His meekness and
modesty were proverbial; tact and
gentleness won his victories
His funeral was held in Beloit, Wis.
Saturday, the 5th inst. Rev. Macs

ing the solemn service. In the death
Of Mr.. Wheeler the missionary society

GOLDEN DISAPPOINTMENT
Captain RAY Sends UnfavOrabls Reports rrcn

The Z. S. War Department has
special representative, Capt. Raw. in

special messenger. Secretary Mer-
kelJohn, at Seattle, opened the dis
patches and telegraphed the substance
OF the report to Washington, D. G.,
viz:
Complying with telegram of TODAY.
five letters and two packages from
Capt. 2. II. Ray. addressed to YOU in
hands of Special Courier Wells, inter
cepted by me. Substance as follows:
--latest bear date of November 9
and ), refers to action and attempted
robbery or caches; recommends that
the United States government take
steps to effectually check immigration
TO interior OF Alaska of persons
not fully supplied to l., two years.
Give as reason no way to earn
living and that no placer discoveries
have been made within the last eight
months either in Alaska or the North.
west territory.
There is no employment for any
large number of people in any capac-
ity, all values are speculative. There
is no fixed standard for labor. There
is not now or likely to be within
twelve months adequate or efficient
means of supplying people now in
Alaska or Northwest territory. 1t is
my opinion that about : per cent of
all people who have entered durir o
the past year have earned their living
and hundreds are now scattered along
the river destitute of food, clothing
and money. People coming in have
not had the taintest conception Of
what to do to earn living and after
spending the money they bring, they
become dazed and helpless
The rush will be great mex. year
and any step that will prevent people
from coming in their ignorance will
be an act of charity
I'm view of recent developments
and knowledge that the lawless are
banding together along the river for
the purpose of robbery!I renew the
suggestion that the government place
on the RI, er small, light draft steam
erS with high power, armed and used
to patrol the river and place detach-
ments as the movement of people
demands.

Il Unanimous Verdict.

Galesburg Mail-Those who failed
to hear the Salisbury concert at the
Congregational church last night will
never know how much they missed.
Those who appreciate fine concert
music were amply repaid and the
unanimous verdict was, The finest
concert music we ever listened to-
The music was of a high order and it
would be impossible to select any one
number on the program as the best
for they were all excellent and deserv-
ed the hearty applause they evoked.
The songs Of Miss Abby Rose Wood,
the soloist, were a great treat. She
has pure. clear soprano voice Of ex-
tensiye range and has it under re-
markable control, every tone being
smooth and even, and the articulation
being clear and distinct. She was re-
ceived with hearty applause and re-
sponded to an encore in a charming
manner. The Mems League of the
church covered themselves with glory
and are thankful for the intelligent
and appreciative audience who will
gratefully rememb Der the rich musical
entertainment provided for them.

Referred TO Towns And Villages.

The people of Grant county do not
seem to be in very enthusiastic
mood for a1semi-centennial celebra-
ton. A call for public meeting at
Lancaster last Friday was widely cir
culated-published in every newspa-
per in Tie county, in fact. The call
was made by the committee appointed
several weeks ago for that purpose.
Owing to repairs being made in the
court room the meeting was convened
in the sheriff's room. Besides the
committee consisting OF G. H Baxter,
K. b. Showalter.and Il. A. Watkins,
there were present Editor Rindlaub of
Platteyille, Editor Meyer of Boscobel,
Deputy Sheriff Lane. Rev. T. J. Brown
and Editor Showater.
After considerable discussion Of the
situation in the county the following
resolution was introduced by Mr..
Watkins and adopted by the meeting:
RESOLVED. That in view OF the lack
of interest manifested by the people Of
Grant county in this meeting, it is
not practicable to hold county semi
centennial celebration on May %,
1898. but we recommend that the sew
eral towns, villages and cities take
the necessary steps to celebrate the
semi-centennial OF the state in an APP
propriate manner.

A Rare Musical Treat.

1t is safe to say that the people of
Lancaster have not had the opportu-
nifty for long time OF enjoying a rare
musical treat. 1t is equally safe to
say that such an opportunity will be
given them on the evening of the 18th
inst. when the Salisbury Orchestra,
composed of sixteen artists, will pre-
sent musical program that cannot
fail to delight each auditor A COM
mercial traveller who heard them in
Iowa says, 81 had rather hear them
than the Thomas Orchestra, for a
wider range is presented, thus salts
flying each member of the audience. >
Here is synopsis Of one number on
the program; A Negro Absurdity-
Lucinda's Serenade. ''At II p. m.

Lincoln" LeGture At Reeds.

What promises to be a very fine
lecture will be given at Reeds Opera
House Feb. II, 1898. is a lecture
by the Rev. W. ID. Simonds of Madison
on Abraham Lincoln, and is under the
management of the Lancaster High
School. Mr.. Simonds has the reputa-
ton OF being an orator Of great power.
The News of Menomonie. Wis, saws
of him: Rev. w. d. Simonds, of Mad
ison, lectured at the Memorial last
Friday evening, upon Abraham Lin
coin. Mr.. Simonds fully sustained
the high reputation as thinker and
orator which he has won during a
brief residence of a few months in
Wisconsin. He possesses in marked
degree those methods and character
istics of thought and speech essential
to popular and successful platform
speaker. Such a man is truly great
acquisition to the intellectual force of
the state. His lecture here was such
an advertisement that the next time
he comes the mere announcement will
give him very large hearing.
