mained nevertheless.
1t is presumed that each state will
present statues of her most distin-
guished people. 1t is not so difficult for
the older states to do this, as from their
long history it is not difficult to select
two preeminent characters. OF the
younger states, however, there are very
few that could at this time furnish
statues of men who would for all time
to come represent the best of their citi-
zens. 1t 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.
1t has been suggested for example,
that Utah might send statue of Brig
ham Young. 1t can be easily imagined
what howl would 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 his 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, az
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 ami
mosities and create bad sectional feel
ings. 1t has been suggested that con-
gress should guard against just such
possibilities.

MONUMENT TO SOLDIERS.
Wisconsin Has Erected Splendid Me.
mortal to Veterans Who Have
Passed Away.

One of the most notable soldier mon.
uments of this country has just been
erected by Capt. w. r. Hedges, of st.
Louis, for the state of Wisconsin, on the
battlefield of Shiloh. 1t is wide de-
parture from the conventional soldier
standing at listless ease with his gun.
A color sergeant has been mortally
wounded, a beautiful female figure,
typifying the nation. whose face and
attitude express the utmost tenderness
and sympathy, bends over and sup
ports him with her left arm, on which
is the shield of the United States en-
twined with laurel. She has caught
the flag as it fell from mis- grasp. and
holds it aloft. 1t expresses the apo
theosis of heroic sacrifice giving ones
life for the land he loves. and standing
as it does in the Hornets Nest" the
scene of the most terrific fighting Of
one of the bloodiest battles of the great
war, it is most effective and beautiful.
The conception of the group is by
Capt. Hodges, and Mr.. Robert p Bring
hurst. the sculptor, has been entirely
successful in giving form, life and ac-
tion in a masterful way On the front
is the dedicatory panel in bronze and
on the ends and back of the die are
bronze panels illustrating in bas-relief
scenes of the battle. The pedestal is
of Westerly Or. ~ granite, rectangu-
lar in shape and base being nine feet
eight inches by seven feet eight inches
and six feet in height. The figures of
the group are one and quarter life
size, and the total height of the struc-
ture from the foundation to the top of
the Flagstaff is 20 feet.
This monument was erected to COM
memorate the valor of the Fourteenth,
Sixteenth and Eighteenth regiments of
Wisconsin volunteers, who participat-
ed in the battle of Shiloh on April
and Z. 1862 The Fourteenth. Col.
David E. Wood, was in Buell's
army, and did not arrive upon
the field until Sunday night. On Mon
day it joined Smiths brigade of the
army of the Ohio and served with that
command all day. 1t assisted in the
capture of battery, one gun of which
was awarded to this regiment and sent
to the state of Wisconsin. Its loss was
81 killed and wounded. The Sixteenth,
Col Benjamin Allen. was in the First
brigade of Prentiss' division. COM

esting spots in the very interesting and
historic capitol building. In this semi
circular room are placed statues of dis
tinguished citizens of the country, each
state of the union being entitled to two
such memorials. The hall is getting
fairly well filled up and the annual house
cleaning in the big building involves
considerable work in keeping the stat
ues presentable.
Every once in awhile q critic with ar
tistic temperament goes into Mysteries
over the conglomerate mass of marble
and bronze effigies that have been aG-
cumulated 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 en-
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 finicky 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.

THE PASSING SOLDIERS.
Five Great Warriors Have Been Ele-
waited to Highest Office in
United States.

Five soldiers of the civil war have
been elevated to the presidency-Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and McKin-
ley The death of Senator Bate has
moved the students of the times to the
conclusion that he will go on record
as the last confederate in Tennessee
to occupy SO prominent place as gov
ernor or senator. 1t is also expressed
as a tenable conclusion that Mckinley
will go down into history as the last
union officer of the civil war to be
president.
The passing away of the prominent
men of the war gives rise to solemn re-
Election. 1t is a serious lesson in the
flight of time. But it can easily hap
pen that union officer of a minor
grade may be the next president 1t Is,
of course, not likely that he will be
one who rose to high command, with
title as great as brigadier or major
general. The few left of that grade are
past the presidential time of their
lives. McKinley's highest grade in the
actual service was that of captain of
company in the Twenty-third Ohio
regiment of volunteers. the grade of
brevet major being conferred at tae
close of hostilities. There are other
captains in the volunteer service-men
who served we'll, and who are physical
ly and mentally rugged-who are still
within presidential range. 1t is not
perhaps necessary at this moment to
"name names. ."-Clncinnati Enquirer,

Of Wide Interest,

Breed, Wis, June -Special.-Chas.
Y. Peterson, Justice of the Peace for
Oconto Co., has delivered judgment that
is of interest to the whole United States
Put briefly, that judgment is, "Dodd's
Kidney Pills are the best Kidney medi-
cine on the market to-day"
And Mr.. Peterson gives his reason for
this judgment. He says: Last winter /
had an aching pain in my back which
troubled me very much. In the morning
l could hardly straighten my back l did
not know what it was but an advertise
ment led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
After taking one box l can only say they
have done more for me than expected as
l feel as well now as ever did before"
Pain in the back is one of the first
symptoms of Kidney disease. If not
cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills it may de-
velop into Bright's Disease, Diabetes,
Rheumatism or some of the other deadly
forms of Kidney Disease.

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
filed The wonder to old Washingtoni-
ans Is where the people come from to fill
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, manufacturing places.
Washington is not a skyscraper town.
and the authorities have wisely reduced
the height to which buildings can be
erected Eight stories is about the linn
1t, 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
ings to greater height than the width
OF the streets on which they are To-
Gated. Even this regulation is further
restricted in the neighborhood OF pub
lie buildings, by requiring edifices TO
keep within the height OF the govern
ment structures.

A thorough investigation has been made
being found in paying quantities and
also to locate coal fields. A preliminary
report of these examinations has been
published and now a 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
uahle information.
In his Investigations Mr.. 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 petroleum producer, Mr..
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 refining oil of the same general
nature as the product of the Pennsyl-
vania oil fields. Like the Pennsylvania
petroleum, it contains high proper
tion of the more volatile compounds
and paraffine base and contains al
most no sulphur.
The best coal field discovered is on the
Behring river, 25 miles inland from
Controller bay II is the best coal yet
discovered on the Pacific coast of North
America. The field, however, is re-
sstricted as it includes only about 1910
square miles. The coal resembles the
harder bituminous Goals of the east.
Some have compared 1t with the anthra-
cite, but 1t is doubtful whether much of
1t could be sized 30 as to compete with
anthracite coal for domestic use. 1t
seems, however. to be of superior
quality of bituminous.

Ancient Egypt
Knew the Virtues Of the
fTKing Of Foods. -

Since the earliest annals of Old
Egypt, wheat has been recognized
as the king of foods.
1t has held its sway down to the
present day, Notwithstanding the
fact that in many forms of making
wheat into food products, some Of
the best elements are lost.
Bread has been aptly termed,
"the staff Of life," as it alone of
known foods has all the elements
that are needed to sustain life.
Egg-O-See contains all the best
elements of wheat in a far moro
healthful and delicious form than
any bread, crackers or ordinary
wheat foods. In addition to the
best whole wheat delicately faxed
and crushed, it is made still more
digestible by the addition of refined
diastase, the highest grade of malt.
There are no premiums or gifts
in the Egg-O-See package; moth
ing but full measure of the highest
grade of cereal food in the world.

industries, but il is now In 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 a 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
turesuue coast in the world. Congress-
men felt it 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 posses
.sions and Alaska. The tales these
statesmen adventurers brought back of
tnG oCChClJ VI lhC <hldohuh
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 number
of the most prominent members of the
house and senate, including Speaker
Cannon, will learn of the Alaska wond-
ers 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
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 $1,000,
900 in 1867 will prove one of the richest
Investments ever made by the govern
ment.

above all, woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been GO
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women. and every testimo-
nial letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 412 North 54th

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Over year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, as l had female ills and could not
carry child to maturity. ! received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. am not only well woman in con-

write you for advice, as you have done so
much for me-"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel was
cured, will Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such q record of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any substi-
| tute which a druggist may offer.
If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinhham,

a small western town, kept his
money on deposit at the one bank
the town boasted. While not very
well versed in the intricacies of
banking, he was very proud of the
fact that he possessed bank ac-
count and never failed to write a
check when he was compelled to pay
out any amount, however small.
One day, through some mistake, he
drew check for an amount some
what in excess of his balance at the
bank. Next morning William
Jones, the collector for the bank,
came into the shop where the butch
