Franklin's paper the statesman., 1909-02-06

Abraham Lincoln is growing in the
worlds eye. The anniversary of his
birth will be celebrated next week in
more extensive and affectionate
manner than ever before. OF the many
great Americans he represents the
greatest sum total of virtues, even his
uncouth awkardness being kindly re-
membered and serving as foil for
his magnificent greatness. While the
preservation of the Union was his
great work as chief executive of this
country, and the freedom of the slaves
was only an outgrowth of it, yet 1t is
as the Liberator that his is growing
in the worlds esteem. Great and won
derful as is our country, humanity is
greater and the contribution which
Lincoln made to all mankind in free
ing the slaves outweighs even mis-
service to this nation. His kindness
even in the persecution of the war, is
what has made him dear His strong
heart qualities have overshadowed his
mentality which of itself would have
made him great. So it is that the
sword is slowly ceasing to be the en-
blem of world power, and the arts OF
peace are being exalted And the
Negro who was the occasion of Lin
coins display of humanity cannot de-
spair of his future so long as the
world pays such tribute to the doer of
the work.

THIS GOVERNOR is A sPLEnDIp
ARGUMENT FOR THE RACE.

Sometimes a man goes so far past
reason and fairness in pursuit of ven
geance upon the Negro race that he
nullifies his efforts and drives reason
able people to condemn him and his
principles. OF such class is this
West Virginian who is spoken of in
the press dispatch given below. II
goes without saying that public build
ings are not the property of any state
official so that he can deprive the
public, much less another state official
of his right to use them. In law he
must find his authority to close ele-
yators against Negroes, not in his de-
sire, and West Virginia is not sup
porting him thus far. The dispatch
says:
Charleston, w. Va. Jan 20.-Be-
cause an order was issued by the gov
ernor of the state that no Negroes
were to be permitted to use the eIe-
vator in the state house hereafter,
State Librarian ]. C. Gilmer to-day
was forcibly elected from the lift
while he was trying to reach his of
fees on the third floor OF the build
ing.
THE elevator boy declaring that he
had orders from the governor on the
subject, would not permit Mr.. Gilmer
to ride, and when the latter persisted,
he was pushed out of the car and de-
spite vigorous efforts to re-enter it
was prevented and had to walk up the
stairway.
"The governor was friendly to the
Jim Crow bill which was introduced
recently into the legislature, and he
worked vigorously TO secure its pass
age.
The Republicans, however, voted
as a unit against the measure, and ii
was defeated.
Then the governor said that he
would not hereafter allow any Ne.
groes to ride on the elevator he mad
to use, and Gilmer was the first vic.
tim.

man and leader among his race.

States, and is quite generally respect.

He stated this evening that he

tions can hereafter ride In the state

Advices from Fairbanks by wire state that a great many men are slip ping out of town in small boats and other ways more or less on quiet but large stampede to the Iditarod. Charles B. Mack this week received a telegram from Fairbanks stating that his brother Edward. was leaving at once for the new camp.
 Iditarod is in or close to the idit- arod country, near the Kuskokwim. Otter seems to be the principal creek. Between 15O and 200 men were report ed working there the middle of Aug. ust. and none leaving. A new town it was expected, would be started at the mouth of Otter. Supplies had giv- en out among many on the creek and some of the men had gone to Anvik for grub.-Dawson News.

 ASSA|L LOST PR0SPECT0R

More than one man in the wilds of Alaska has become demented and lost his life through the effects of the as- saults of the mosquitoes. Such, for tunately, was not the case of Lewis Sheguin, of Rampant, who was lost in the Innoko this summer, although his mind was wandering when he was finally picked up, and he was in a fearful condition physically.
 Johnny Barret, who tells the story of the mans adventure, was in com pany with Fred Williams and Dougal Murray when they discovered She guin's polling boat on the Innoko river at point about sixty miles below the north fork. This was on July 2S.
 They reported the case of the lost man and search of half day was made by the Oregon Kid and Frank Kern. Besides finding place where the missing man had built smudge, they secured no trace of him.
 Sheguin, 1t seems, was polling up the Innoko few days before. when he decided that longer pole would be more convenient than the one he was using. Accordingly, he beached his boat, took an ax to cut new pole, and small pail in which to pick a supply of blueberries.
 While searching for his pole and filling his pail with berries he became

Astronomical.

Some curious and interesting astro- nomical phenomena are recorded fin the old Chinese annals which go back to a great antiquity. In 6SI B. c. night is mentioned without clouds and without stars. This may perhaps re- fer to total eclipse of the sun, but if so the eclipse is not mentioned In the Chinese list of eclipses. In the year 141 B. c. 1t is stated that the sun and moon appeared of deep red color dur ing five days, phenomenon which caused great terror among the peo- pie. In A B. c. 1t is related that star as large as the moon appeared and was followed in its motion by sev- eral stars of ordinary size. This probably refers to an unusually large bolIde. or fire bal. In 3s B. c. fall of meteoric stones is recorded.

turned around and, accordingly, when he started back to the river, the stream was not where he had left it.
 After several attempts to reach the river, he stopped to take his bearings. Some hills appeared in the distance, which he judged to be the Innoko hills and he laid a course for them. They were in reality the Muddy river hills, and it was the Muddy river that sheguin eventually came to.
 It looked like the Innoko to him so he built raft and floated down it. Eventually he came out on the Innoko forty miles below Dlssakaket and there Mike Connolly and Nels Perra picked him up. He was then in a rather pitiable condition, after his nine days wanderings through the mos quitoes without food other than blue berries.
 When he left the raft sheguin had but two matches on his person. Ac- cordingly, to keep a smudge going Sheguin built it in his bneberry pail  and carried 1t with him day after day across country and down river. He was still in possession of his ax when found.
 Sheguin was taken up river to Dis sakaket, arriving there just after Johnny Barret and party came in from above and had told the story of finding the boat.-Tanana Tribune.
