Wanted to Travel.

'In the pioneer days of Alaska" said
Capt. j. S. Criter an Alaskan pioneer
san Francisco was the first place the
natives ever, heard of as associated with
untold wonders. The, person who had
been to Frisco and back became the great
est man alive in the Siwash estima ton II
was the ambition of every Indian, par
ticuIarly the young men, to go to Frisco.
one time two missionaries got into a
quarrel at Nualato, and one killed the
other. At that time. people had to be
taken 10 San Francisco for trial. and
this missionary was arrested promptly and
sent down there Among the witnesses
who were taken along was a young ST.
wash Indian.
When he came back he was, of course,
the lion of all the Indians in that district,
and he made their unsophisticated eyes
bulge, and aroused envy in every native s
breast by the tales he told of what he had
seen at Frisco. One young Indian became
so enthusiastic that after thinking the
matter over, he decided to go to Fricso
g Me go to Frisco he took to declar-
Ing on every occasion.
Not long afterward this Indian way
laid and killed white man near Central
gatlon OF miners took him into custody
" You kill white man.? he was asked
Oh, yes, me kill white mani the In
dian replied eagerly.
Why" they asked him.
'''Oh. me kill white man; me go to
Frisco' he replied.
That was all. The missionary had
Killed man and they had taken him
10 frisco, so this Indian had simply killed
ms man so they would take him to Frisco.
The miners concluded. though, that to
take the Indian to Frisco would establish
rather dangerous precedent in that
country just then. so they took him out in
a boat one night and disposed of him
otherWlSe. No Indian ever killed a man

MIL WAUKEE OFFERED
BIG ATHLETIC MEET
A. A. U. May Hold Championships
in Connection With State Fair.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 10.-The
national indoor championship of the A.
A. u. will be held in Milwaukee in con-
nection with the annual state fair next
September, if the state board of agri-
culture will agree to furnish a suf-
ficient amount of money for the hold
ing of the meet.
Secretary John NJ. True, of the
board, promised President Liginger, of
the A. A. u, last fall that he would
hold an open athletic meet at the fair
this year, and it is the plan of Presi-
dent Liginger, of the A. A. u, to have
1t changed to national affair.
The annual championship games of
the Amateur Athletic union are usually
held in September, and if funds neces-
sary for a meet of this kind are forth
coming, they they could be held here.
Mr.. Liginger is anxious to have the
meet held in the West this year. Here,
tofore the annual games have usually
been held on Staten Island, N. Y. They
nave been big success there, and un-
less the state fair will set aside suf-
f1cient fund, the Fasteners would OBJ
ject to coming to Milwaukee Should
the meet be brought here, 1t would
mean big boom for athletics in the
West. All the cracks in the country,
including those from the extreme East
as we'll as the middle West and the
Pacific coast, would participate.

DON'T BELIEVE BLIND

oeulists SkepticaI Regarding Scientists
Alleged Discovery.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Oculists of
prominence here are SkeptiCal concern
ing the news from Paris that Prof.
Peter Stems has discovered the secret
of restoring sight to the blind They
frankly admit that man does not see
with the eye, but with the brain. and
the eye only serves to receive the i'm
age which the optic nerve transmits.
But when the Frencnmen say they can
transmit an image to the seat of per-
ception without the assistance of the
optic nerve, or by an artificial sub
stItute for that nerve, the assertion is
der1ded as not worthy of serious con=
sideration.
NO doubt quacks will take it I'm.
and by deluding the people make
money,but no regular practitioners will
think of doing so for an instant" said
DR.. L. E. Rex, of the Manhattan Eve
and Ear hospital. II never heard of
Prof. Stems or Dr. Gaze. We all know
that when the optic nerve is DESTROYED
artificial appliances are of no avail"
In the New York Eye and Ear hos
pltal the ocul1Sts were just as skepti-
cal.
1t is a highly sensational article
from abroad, and 1 shall pay no serious
attention to It," said one of the most
prominent surgeons connected with the
hospital, who declined to permit his
name 10 De used. Not until see such
a statement in recognized medical
journal, treated seriously and carry
Ing with 1t the Endorsement of those
who stand for something in the medical
world, will L give the suggestion seri-
GUS thought. With the optic nerve de-
stroyed a man is blind forever. That
Is a professional truth that no reput-
able medical man will deny"
While DR.. Charles Stedman Bull, an
other surgeon in the hospital, admit
ted he never had heard of Stems or
Gaze and said he attached no import
ance to the alleged discovery, he de-
clined to discuss the subject further.
Not word was the reply of DIR.
Edward B. Dench. of the hospital
staff. He shrugged his shoulders when
asked to pass judgment on Prof. Stems
and his alleged discovery.
DR.. Peter A. Callan Sr., another
member OF the staff. was equally sure
the alleged discovery had no practical
value.

case of Mrs. Hulda Nagle, whom he

Kern was arrested in Chicago two
weeks ago and sentenced to a six
months term at the Bridwell. Soon
after his arrest it was learned that he
mad married several German widows
In different sections of the country
and then robbed them of their estates.
1t was on similar charge that he

was released from the Bridewell.
According to the Chicago police,
Kern or Sauer, has been married at
least five times, and they say that
they have been unable to find any rec
ora showing that he was ever granted
a divorce. Lieut. Mulcahy of the
Stanton street station, says that he

CHICAGO BOARD OF
TRADE MEN SUSPENDED
President and Secretary of the Weare
Commission Company the Ones.

CHICAGO, March 10.-Portens B.
Weare, president of the Weare Com
mission company, and Charles A.
Weare, the secretary We're suspended
from the board of trade today. The
president will not be allowed the priv
ileges of the board for two years.
Charles A. Weare is suspended for one
year.
This ends one of the most bitterly
contested cases that was ever tried by
the directors of the board of trade.
Charles G. Mcneil, of Sioux City, Iowa,
filed the charges, and his complaint
was the outcome of a criminal suit
against him in which the members of
the local commission firm were prose-
cutors. The company declared that
William Jolly, a clerk, was defrauding
them, and they began action at law.
Mcneil was their agent at Sioux City,
and the members of the firm charged
that he and Jolly were in cOllusion.
He, too, was drawn into the criminal
action, and was charged with con-
spiracy. Incidentally $4,000 of his
money was attached. He pleaded in
nOcence. The cases were tried and
both of the suspects acquitted. Nc
Neil then accused the company, be-
fore the board of trade directors, of
monumental conduct, and it is this
trial that has just closed.
