THE Republican voters of Wisconsin
may differ on local questions, but they
are of one mind as to the desirability
OF retaining in the senate man who
has served them with singular ability
and has made the state influential in
national affairs. Even if the senator's
last word had been that he was not a
candidate the Republicans of Wiscon-
sin hardly would have acquiesced in
his decision. They would have in
sisted that he change it. Senator
Spooner is fortunate in having con-
stituents who are so loyal to him, and
the constituents are fortunate in hav.
ing a senator who is SO deserving Of
their unbounded confdence.-C Chicago

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
j. X. Gibson Found That His Name Was an
Asset Valued at S4.7O.

The value of a name has often beer
disputed, but J. r. Gibson, stranger
II the city, discovered Thursday tina,
it was worth $40 to him to bear the
name he DID. Gibson was arrested the
night before on a charge of intoxica
ton, and when he faced Justice Calvin
Stewart the latter ordered him to pay
into the funds of the county dollar
and costs. Gibson didn't have the
money and for this reason he went up
to the county Jail to spend fifteen
weary days.
Just as the man was leaving the
justice court ]. r. Gibson, the local
manager of the telephone company
came IN. He inquired about the case
and when he was informed that the
man bore exactly the same name a
himself the telephone manager went
up to the Jail to see the fellow. The
two men talked the matter over and
Manager Gibson decided that it would
hardly be right for J. r. Gibson to
languish in jail SO he paid his fine and
the man was released. There was no
relationship between them but in the
future it is probable that the man who
secured his release from Jail on account
of his name will be more careful to
protect it,

ASKS HEAVY DAMAGES.
Henry Krumm Demands Damages From
North Western Railway Company


Henry Krumn1, a we'll known resi-
dent of North Kenosha, this morning
through his attorney filed a suit
against the North Western Railway
Company to collect damages to the ex-
tent of s., 500 for the destruction Of his
tool house by FIRE last August It is
claimed by Krumm that the fire re-
suited from a spark from an engine
owned by the company and that the
negligence Of the company's agents
caused the fire.
The building destroyed together
with the tools in it was valued at
81, 400, but Krumm claims that the FIRE
forced him to lose business to the ex-
tent of another thousand. The suit
will bring up an interesting point of
law. It will probably be tried at the
ncxt session Of the Circuit Court.

MUST MAKE RATES PUBLIC.
Interstate Commerce Commission Issues
Orders to Railroads.

Interstate Commerce Commission Issues
Orders to Railroads.
The interstate commerce commission
has issued commands to the railroads
to show the total tonnage of the nine
principal commodities, such as wheat,
-four and packing-house products, and
the rate per ton per mile in the case of
each in their annual reports.
The railroads have referred the mat
ter to their counsel for advice as to the
legality of the order and to find out
what the commission could do if the
order was ignored. The commerce act
provides that the commission can re-
quire information of a statistical char
acter in reports and the general i'm
preston seems to be that the roads
have little else to do but obey the man
date.
The purpose is supposed to be to as
certain the relative fairness of the
rates charged on the main commodi-
ties which enter most largely into daily
consumption.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road has filed articles of amendment
to it's charter with the Secre airy of
State at Madison. One change is to
place no limit on the working capital,
which heretofore has been $25O,OOO
The other amendment is to provide for
three classes Of directors, which are to
be divided as evenly as possible among
the thirteen members comprising the
board The different classes will hold
Office for one, two and three years re-
spectively.

AFTER HIS MONEY.
Hans GuttOrmsonFGoes to Washington to
Fight Claim For $4,000.

Hans Guttormson, the Kenosha
workman who was injured some
twenty years ago while in the employ
# the United States government at
Rock Island ILL.,, left for Washington
this morning to make a final fight for
the allowance of his claim against the
government. The claim has been be
fore congress for many years and
Congressman Cooper will take the
matter up with the committee on
claims early next week. Guttormson
is certain that the claim will be allow
ed at that time. The matter was
brought up in the senate by Senator
Spooner and referred back to the
house. The house referred it to the
claims committee and it is now to be
adjusted.
The original claim amounted to
$4,000 and at the interest that would be
due on it for the period in which it
has been before congress, the final
amount to be paid will be nearly
double the original sum.
Guttormson is in the deepest need.
He is almost cripple and has a
large family to support. For years he
has held out the forlorn hope that this
claim would be paid by the government
and he now thinks that the hope will
be realized.

I1OW ALASKA JrSTIFIES IT'S PUR-
CHASE.

The United states in 1867 paid 81 200 0OD
for Alaska. This was at the rate of two
cents an acre. but congressman quite gen
orally agreed that the price was too
high
General Il. + Butler Of Massachusetts
proposed in Congress on July Z. 1865 to
ply Russia the 200 oo0 for her friend
ship and ask her to keep Alaska. He de-
"larcd that at any time within twenty
years we could have Alaska for the ask
ing. and added:
mo man, except one insane enough to
buy the earthquakes in St. Thomas and
tho ice fields of Greenland. could ho
found to agree to any other terms for
the acquisition of Alaska"
Mr.. Washhurn Of Wnconsin insisted
that Greenland WAS a better territory 20
purchase than Alaska. which. he said,
was absolutely without value.
Hiram Price, congressman from Iowa,
said: "Alaska is dead loss to us am
way. ana the more expense we incur the
worse it is for the country ana the pco-
0lc''
Orange Forriss, congressman from New
York. declared; alaska with the Alcutian
islands is AN inhospitablc, wretchcd and
God-forsakon region worth nothing. but
a positive injury and REMEMBRANCE as a
colony in the Unitcd States"
benjamin +. Loan of Missouri said {:
'"rh" ACQUISITION of this inhospitablc
waste would never add one dollar to the
wealth of our country"
The Alaskan salmon catch of 1862 alone
WAS worth T,2noo0 the price paid fer
the territory. In five years the Alaskan
mines have sent to Seattle alone $l4,plO 900
in gold dust and bullion, nearly twice
the purchase price of the Territory.
ln 1902 the total output of gold in Alaska
was Sl> 5000, and IN l9Gl il WAS $ll,G75.-
a., or Tor two years s33,5i5,W0-more
than four times the amount paid to Rus
sia ir 1861.
Previous to 1897 we had taken sl5, n00. -
600 gold from Alaska-also more than
twice the purchase price. From 1867 10
1897 the Alaskan fishery products brought
as SIS nN0, 900. The fur sale for twenty
years after 1870 amounted to s33,Uo, 00o
The fur companies paid into the United
States treasury S,466,Go. Thus one item
of cash in the treasury was more than the
price paid for the Territory.
Meantime the gold mines are increasing
their output annually at the rate of forty
per cent. the copper mines are being de-
Vcloped. railways are being built, and a
naval station on the Aleutian islands
bids fair to become a great commercial
centre.
Alaska has paid for itself many times
year. 1t has more than justified tho OK

to-day appears his policy in comparison
with the puny wisdom of the anti-expan-
sion congressman!

THE OLDEST TRIBE IN THE WORLD.

The Ainu live in the most primitive
manner possible. They have adopted the
dress of the Japanese, but the houses are
very unlike any seen in Japan. They are
made of rice straw, rooted with
matching of reeds How the natives ever
survive the winter is difficult to UNDER
stand. In the center of the room is the
fireplace. from which the smoke floats
out into the room, at times becoming
almost suffoCating. An opening in the
roof is supposed to serve as an outlet,
but the smoke does not always lind ii.
over the fire hangs Il huge iron kettle
and into it are thrust all sorts of fish,
animal and vegetable food. to be dishcd
up later in a sort of composite ChoWder.
Around two sides of the room is a
slightly raised PLATFORM upon which the
whole family range themselves for the
night, without bedding of any sort in
summer, and only "a sCanty supply in
winter.
During the winter the favorite pastime
of the Ainu is hunting the prize tind being
a hear cub. This is never killed, but the
mother having been disposed of. the cub
is captured alive and carried home amid
lrcat rojoicings. place of abode for
the cub is erected near the family hut,
and every attention is bestowed upon IL.
AS a race the Ainu are sturdy in APP
pearance, but are peaceable and not given
TO war like the Japanese. The marked
feature of the men is "A hairy growth

possession of one in looking upon these
