This business of building states is

This business of building states Is evidently based on some deep primitive
 instinct in human na- THE ture. It goes on in fair BUILDING political weather or in OF STATES. foul. and 1t is still mak.
 ing headway, no less In enlightened climes than in the dusks os equatorial Africa, where savage des- potisms rise and fade without leaving a trace that they were. The familiar story of "The Reporter Who Made Himself King" repeats itself wherever an enterprising man is thrown in a favorable environment.
 Not so many months ago the repub- lie of Acre was proclaimed in the dense rubber forests that lie between the territory of Brazil and Bolivia. IL elected two presidents, who for nearly a year exercised authority over ter ritory larger than that of the secondary kingdoms of Europe. Not until it was suppressed by Bolivian troops did any rumor of its existence penetrate to this country. Not SO many weeks ago the case of Frenchman claiming jur- isdiction over an island in the St. Law renee occupied the attention of the Canadian government. Now comes Captain George w. Streater. "of the Lake Michigan district" seeking ad- mission to congress as territorial del- egate. He represents an island fin Chicago harbor which has formed about the wreck of his vessel on a con- cealed bar, and which already contains an area of 800 acres, population of about 200 persons and real estate val ues which its owner alleges are greater than those of the entire state of Ne vada. He wants it annexed "like Ha- waii." The aspirations to sovereignty of Anastatia island. off the coast of Florida. have just been suppressed by the supreme court.
 These ensamples of empire building are trivial only because we sec them in their tadpole stage. Doubtless there was time when the republic of Ven- ice was as insignificant plot of sand as ''the Lake Michigan district" Go back far enough and the Hohenzollern and Hapsburg dynasties, each perched on its little German hilltop, had less prospect of wide or protracted domin- ion than had the short-liYed republic of acre. The successive Boer states formed by the outspanning of few hundred Dutch families are not re- Garded in the light of joke in Down- ing street.
 The ottoman empire was created by a body of rowing Turks not much larger than tho pop Ilation of the sand bar lying off the Windy City.

The territorial council declinel yes- tcrday to further complicate our rela- tions with China at this critical stage by specially legislating against the methods of the washee houses. without which they might as well retire from the field. The deadliest blow aimed a' them was in the clause which sought to make 1t misdemeanor to spray clothes by squirting water from tho mouth. a feat which nobody but 9 Chinaman can perform.

OkD PEOPLE

Have a charm of their own when they are not weak and feeble, but hale and hearty, enjoying the sportsand pleasures of youth though they cannot participate in them. The whole secret of sturdy old age is this Keep the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition in per feet order. The young man who does not think of his stomach will be made to think of it as he grows old. It is the "weak stomach, incapable of supplying the adequate nutrition for the body, which causes the weakness and feeble. ness of old age.
 Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It makes the "weak" stomach strong, and so enables the body to be fully nourished and strengthened by the food which is eaten

INDIANS ARE yINDICTIyE.
denOmfnee Tribe Enraged at SuD-
posed Killing of a Member.

A dispatch from Marinette Wis, yester-
day says: 1t is learned from Superintendent
John Burke of the Peshtigo Lumber Com
pany that there is great excitement among
the Indians on the headwaters of the Eagle
river, in the northern part of Marinette
county, over the disappearance of one of
the tribe, who has been missing for a week.
Charles Keshena. one of the best-known
indians in that part of the country, ap-
peared at one of the Peshtigo eompany's s.
camps Saturday and said that his brother
Indians We're greatly excited over the dis
appearance of one of their tribe and claim
ed that he was killed by some white hunt
er, who shot him by mistake, taking him
Tor deer. They are searching everywhere
Tor the body. and if it shall be found IL
may go hard with some of the white hunt
ers In that locality.
The Indians firmly believe he was killed
oy white man, and are determined on
vengeance. The name OF the missing Indian
is not known. The Indians are of the Me-
nominee tribe, and have a small settlement
on the Eagle river. Keshena expressed
considerable alarm. and all the white hunt
ers In that locality are being warned as
rapidly as possible. 1t Is probable that

and in some cases American fanciers have
gone abroad and paid fabulous prices for
a certain animal which had been declared
a champion. The right to this title comes
with an animal who has won first prize
in five shows. and there Is no need to go
back in the pedigree of any Belgian hare
to determine his true value beyond one
of these so-called champions If the pedi-
gree can be traced to one such the status
of the animal is established beyond All
doubt As stated. all of these famous
strains are represented in the various ex-
hibits and many OF the hares exhibited are
held at enormous prices
Mr. Barclay has pair which he calls
True Gold. which have been unbeaten in
any contest into which they have entered
in this country and which have also taken
number of prizes in England. He holds
them at value of Ave hundred dollars. He
has also another young buck which has
never been beaten in competition. Mr. Bar
clay's exhibit consists of twenty-five speci-
mems.
Harea Attract Attention
As this is the first time. Belgian hares
have ever been exhibited in Washington.
there is naturally much interest taken in
them, and visitors to the show this morn.

STUDIES AMERICAN WAYS.
Chief Engineer of Tokyo, Japan, Wis
its United States.


NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Yeija Nakajima,
chief engineer of the city Of Tokyo
Japan, and professor of engineering and
mechanics in the University Of Tokyo,
is in this country OH tour of inspection.
In an interview he said:
"After a careful examination of your
rivers, harbors and wharfage / have ar
rived at the belief that I can, by dredg.
ing, bring big ships up TO Tokyo. We
are about 90 miles from Y Yokohama, and
there will be q lot Of work to be done,
but we will do it. Tokyo has about
/, 500, 900 inhabitants now and a water
route to the city would greatly promote
her growth.
1.-The whole job-dredging and wharf
building-win cost about $21 ,000,0 900 Of
your money. The interest on money is
high over there and we have to borrow
a great deal. Counting interest and all,
the $21, 900, 900 will amount to $50, 600,
600 before the job will be finished But
am sure the city will do the work.
American methods will be followed.
From this city Mr.. Nakajima will &c
to Yale to attend the bicentennial cele.
bration. He says that Tokyo is to have
a trolley line and he is anxious to be-
come acquainted with American trolley
methods.
