The volunteer fire department was
the sole dependence of the city in
days gone by, and the record made by
the volunteers entities them to every
consideration. The council is right in
deferring to their wishes in the mat
ter of continuing their organization,
and none of their rights and privi-
1eges should be taken from them I'M
less they are ready to give them up.
1t is a question whether the call .sys-
tenn would be more effective than the
volunteers, and until the chief of the
department is ready to recommend a
change we shall do very well as we
are

THE authorities at Madison have
certainly been in no hurry to send the
city health officer a report on the
sample of alleged diseased meat sent
them for examination, and in the
meantime the whole case is hung up
waiting for the report. Naturally
the health officer does not care to as
sumo the responsibility of going
ahead with an investigation until he
is sure of his ground, and if it fnT1ly
turns out that the animal, whose car
cass is the subject of the present in
vestigation, was afflicted with tuber-
cu1osis, the owners of other animals
in the same state will have had plenty
of time to dispose of them before the
health officer gets authority to go
ahead with his search.

MATCH is ARRANGED.
Rooney, the Chicago Wrestler,
to Meet Three Men in Keno
sha on Jan. 20 or "a.
OF INTEREST TO sPORTsMEN

M. Charleson, the manager for
Rooney, the Chicago wrestler, was in
Kenosha today and completed ar
arrangements for a second wrestling
tournament in Kenosha. 1t will be
held at the opera house either the 23d
or Oath of this month. Rooney is to
tackle a hard proposition in that he
agrees to throw three men in ninety
minutes or forfeit purse of $3.50.
The first man to go against Rooney
will be North Henderson, whom he
defeated here some six weeks ago.
Henderson and Rooney will have a
regular three fall match Added to
this Henderson has consented to
bring two men to Kenosha to meet
Rooney. Rooney is confident that he
can throw all of the men in the ninety
minutes named in the contract.
Added to this the entertainment
will be made interesting by a boxing
match between couple of local favor
ties. Montgomery and Howard, two
co1ored fighters, have been making
mouths at each other for some time
and it is more than probable that
purse will be hung up for fight be-
tween these two men. The entertain
ment will be wholly under the law and
will be held with the sanction of the
city officials.
~
The Kenosha bow1ers have begun
to organize the team to compete under
the Kenosha co1ors at the national
bowling congress which will be held
in Milwaukee next month, John M.
Keh1or is the leader of the local bowl
ers and he is busy selecting the team
to represent Kenosha. 1t is certain
that the city will be represented by a
strong team, and it is thought that
our bowlers will make a good showing
in Milwaukee.

A BILL providing for free text books
in the public schools is to be present
ed at this session of the legislature.
There can be no question but that the
expense of text books is a serious
drain upon the finances of fathers of
large families, for in these days of
constant changes in books it is sell
dom that the books bought for the
older children can be made to do for
the younger when they reach school
age. If free text book law would
operate to do away with the changes
in books, and by decreasing the cost,
would lengthen the time the parents
of the public school children could
keep them in the schools, it would be
a good thing all around. 1t might be
worth while to try the experiment.

over the conglomerate mass of marble and bronze ef1gies that have been ac- simulated in this hall A demand is then made that congress establish some uniform rule or regulation regarding the size and character of the statues. The artistic, however. never appeals very strongly to congressman. and as the states themselves furnish the statues no disposition has been evinced to in- terpose any fixed law that would de. fine the character of the art to be em- ployed on these memorials. The old question of states rights bobs up con- veniently when a proposition is made to have congress furnish a model for the states. and in consequence statuary hall is being filled with marble and bronze figures, from a three-quarters length and bust to full heroic size.
 There is no doubt that some of the figures that have been contributed to this hall of heroes are monstrosities. but the hnicky visitor can leave these for the contemplation of the less ar- tistic and enjoy the real beauties of such marble figures as those of Pere Mar quette, which Wisconsin has contrib uted or that of Miss Francis Willard, the only statue of woman in the cap itol, which Illinois has presented as rep resenting the highest type of citizen ship from that state.

SPRINGFIELD LOST IT.

Springfield, June 29.-Holyoke whirl- ed into eight runs in the three closing innings yesterday, and riotious times attended the turning of the Paper Weights into F to 10 winners. There was something stirring for more than two hours, and after Springfield had made itself beloved winner, the Ponies were quickly yanked back and converted into followers of the Hol- yoke irunaways. 'Wn'H fe4T
 Willis Rementer. whose savage handling of baseball duties, brought him the prefix Butch" shiffled to bat in the ninth with two out, and pair of Holyokers waiting to be pulled home. Rementer hammered over rightfield fence and the three runs put Holyoke in possession of a run total of dozen. The two-run lead couldn't be overcome by the Ponies, and the most thoroughly exciting of the inter-city clashes this season, was ended sadly. The score:

Washington has been the victim of the apartment house craze. More than half A hundred of these buildings. ranging from rows of three-story apartments to the highest limit allowed under the reg ulations. have been built. and what is more. every inch of their space has been filled. The wonder to old Washingtoni- ans is where the people come from to all these great tenements There are no manufacturing plants of any importance whatever within the District of Co., lumbia, and the government service extends but slowly. and yet the per centage of increase in the population of Washington keeps pace with that of great. growing. manufaeturing places.
 Washington is not a skyscraper town. and the authorities have wisely reduced the height to which buildings can Dc erected. Eight stories is about the lim- it. although on the wider streets one or two more stories can be added with out violation of the regulations One of the building regulations adopted some time ago prevents the erection of build- inss to a greater height than the width of the streets on which they are To- cated. Even this regulation is further restricted in the neishborhood of pub lie buildings. by requiring edihces 10 keep within the height of the govern nent structures-

two preeminent characters, Of the younger states. however, there arc very few that could at this time furnish statues of men who would for all time to come represent the best of their ciu- zens. It has been suggested that there should be some regulation as to the character of the men who are to be made immortal in this great hall of fame. The states have been invited to send any, body they pleased, but review of those states that yet have the privilege of contributing to the hall shows that some queer characters might find place in this collection.
 It has been suggested for example. that Utah might send statue of Brig ham Young. It can be easily imagined what { 'ho@l ~otiid go up through the country if this were done. Montana, after the death of her present senior senator. William A. Clarke. might put him in marble and leave him as . monu. ment to some of the rather questionable political history in bis state. Virginia still has one statue due her. and her good people have proposed Robert E. Lee. but that proposition was vetoed by the governor of the state. Mississippi might send statue of Jefferson Davis. or Ken- lucky might claim that privilege. e Davis was born in the latter state. Abra- ham Lincoln was also born in Kentucky. and the unique situation might be pre- sented of that state sending statues of both these great characters. Other states might contribute memorials of their great men which would revive ani. mosities and create bad sectional feel- ings. It has been suggested that cons gress should guard against just such possibilities.

industries, but it Is now Tn fair way to become as popular with summer tourists as portions of the Maine coast. Government officials are contributing very largely to this feature of Alaska. Since the wonderful gold discoveries which turned the attention of the whole world to that northwestern corner of the continent and the United States became aware that she had possession valu- able for other things than seal skins, the statesmen at Washington have been paying good deal of attention to Alaska.
 For several years past it has been the regular thing for bodies of congressman to make tours of Alaska. The bound- ary dispute was the first excuse for this delightful excursion along the most pic turesque coast in the world. Congress- men felt 1t was necessary to inform themselves at first hand of conditions in that region and to locate with their own eyes what they believed to be the real boundary between the British possess sions and Alaska. The tales these statesmen adventurers brought back of the wonderful scenery of the Alaskan coast and the unique experiences they had in that little-known country in spired others with the desire to make the trip. This summer quite a number of the most prominent members of the house and senate, including Speaker Cannon, will learn of the Alaska wond- CTS by personal visit.
 The interest that congressman have taken in that country and the efforts of the government in its development have attracted great attention. and the con- sequence is that Alaska seems to be a very desirable place for American in- vestments. Experiments in agriculture, in fisheries and other industries have proven that this big corner of North America that we purchased for $7,000,- 900 in 1867 will prove one of the richest investments ever made by the govern ment.

A thorough investigation has been made to ascertain the probability of petroleum being found in paying quantities and also to locate coal fields. preliminary report of these examinations has been published and now final report from George T. Martin. under the title of The Petroleum Fields of the Pacific Coast of Alaska. with an account of the Behr- ing River Deposits," is available and contains some very interesting and val uable information.
 In his investigations MT. Martin dis covered indications of petroleum in the Controller bay. the Cook inlet and the Coal bay regions. While it Is too soon to predict an important future for the regions as a petroleum producer. Mir. Martins investigations show that fur ther prospecting is justifiable, and that the regions may yet be a source of illum- mating oil. A few wells have been drilled and the petroleum secured is clearly a refining oil of the same general nature as the product of the Pennsyl- vania oil fields. Like the Pennsylvania petroleum. 1t contains high propor- tion of the more volatile compounds and a parafine base and contains al- most no sulphur.
 The best coal field discovered is on the Behring river. 25 miles inland from Controller bay. It is the best coal yet discovered on the Pacific coast of North America. The field. however. is re- stricted as 1t includes only about l2o square miles. The coal resembles the harder bituminous coals of the east Some have compared 1t with the anthra- cite. but it is doubtful whether much of it could be sized so as to compete with anthracite coal for domestic use. It seems. however. to be of superior quality of bituninous

 TONIGHT
Bis Tournament Takes
 Place This Evening and Every Man In Condition
 Barnes Beats Atherton.

On every train to-day and from every big city in the east came sports with money and sports with nothing but nerve, all ready and eager to witness the big wrestling tournament at City hall tonight, when three worlds championships will be decided. At the ringside tonight will be gathered the biggest congregation of strangers that has ever attended an exhibition of any kind in this city since the days of the fighting game. Many of them are here for the purpose of getting line on the three champions who will win in their classes this evening. Many are here with wads of money to back their opinion1 and 1t is about an even toss up as to which wrestler is being backed the most. There Is one thing certain, never has wrestling tournament or even fight carried so much money as will the three contests this evening
 Alex Swanson Is ready and at weight. Billy Cnaki is ready and at weight Both weighed in this after noon and both were trained to the hour Each says he is ready to do the battle of his life and each looked fit as he said 1t. T will beat him as quickly as I can, but how I will do 1t cannot say just now" says Swan son. He will remember me as long as he lives and before am done with him he will wish he never saw me-" says Cnaki. It will be hustling go right from the start. There will be no peaceful slumbers in this match. Both are fighting for the title of the worlds champion in the welterweight class and purse of 5000. It means an easy summer for somebody and whether Swanson or Cnaki will be determined this evening.
 Ed OConnell and Dan Pickett; the writing of those two names tells a whole story. Two of the huskiest and sturdiest youngsters that ever tackled each other on the mat Both young, ambitious and strong as. young lions. Neither one knows the word fear, and there is not bit of yellow to be found fin the body of either. What battle that should be and will be if you can place any reliance on what each says of the other. At first O'Connell was for hoiuiuS iShcte pic1ty ShcoP' AAS u"S changed his opinion within the past week and is to-day hustling to be ready for to-night's battle, knowing now he will be up against the toughest proposition he ever faced. ii,.
 Gresham and Brennan, although the first preliminary, will give you a match that will fire your sporting blood at the very outset. It will be one-half hour of hurricane battle be- tween little fellows.
 The wrestlers must be prepared to begin hostilities promptly at So'clock. At that hour the first preliminary will start and the work will then continue steadily until the final victor is de' clared. If you want to see the work on the mat in good shape take seat down stairs and enjoy 1t.
