DAVE PARcHER RETURNS.

After an absence of thirteen years
Dave Parcher returned to the city
last Wednesday. Aside from the fact
that he has not decided to return to
Alaska he has not determined what
his course for the future will be. He
expects to go East shortly on bust
ness, but says that he is through
with the land of gold nuggets. Mr..
Parcher, in company with a number
of Wausau men, left this city in
August, 1897, when the country went
wild over the finds of gold in the
Klondike. The gentlemen who ac-
companied him all returned at one
time or another without bringing tive
sack of wealth they went after, but
Dave hung tough, to use a slang
phrase. He was located in the Tanana
valley for a number of years and was
known in that country by the sobri-
quet, 'Tanana Dave" Mr.. Parcher
says that the day for the lone pros
pector to make a fortune in Alaska
has about passed. Much gold is still
being taken out of Uncle Sans north
ern possession, but the harvest is be-
ing reaped by large concerns, the
Guggenheim trust being the bees
gathering the most honey. Dave saws
that the Guggenheims are working
over old abandoned claims and are
getting more gold out of them than
did the original owners. They are
making fortunes out of the dirt
thrown out of the old diggings. With
improved machinery they wash every
speck OF gold out of it. Dawson City
which was once a lively town is no
longer so, and it is almost impossible
to sell any property in it, yet stores,
larger by far than any in Wausau, are
doing a good business. The city's
population has dwindled away until
the town is a shadow of its former
self

THE CASE IN POINT.
Golfers, July 30.

OOllltTS, July ~.
Think of the power of personal en-
richment involved in Senator AL
drich's position when a new tariff
bill is being made. And now for the
case which makes The revival of this
cartoon and these figures timely. In
the course of a speech at Winfield,
Kansas, on July 9, Senator Bristow
made these charges, every one of
which is matter of record and easily
verifable:
When the new tariff bill passed the
lower House of Congress, the duty on
manufactured rubber was left the
same as it had been in the Dingley
bill, 30 per cent; in the Senate, the
rate was raised to 35 per cent; the
change was made by Senator Aldrich
in the room of the Finance Com
mittee. This tariff became law on
August 5 Within month, in Sep
TENDER of last year, the news came
out that a rubber company was be-
ing organized. Within three months
the organization was completes; it's
capital is $40, 100000, its managing
head is the son of Senator Aldrich,
Senator Aldrich himself is a director
and holds $4,000 shares; among the
other large stockholders are Simon
Guggenheim, Senator from Colorado,
with 1000 shares, and four of Sena-
tor Guggenheim's brothers, with an
aggregate of $4,000 shares. Within
three months after its organization,
the new rubber company had paid
dividends aggregating 1872 per cent.
The New York "World" sent a
correspondent to ask Senator Aldrich
whether he had any answer to make
to Senator Bristow's charges; he had
none. Speaker Cannon's comment
when he spoke in Kansas was this:
"If Senator Aldrich and others are
guilty of forming rubber trust, Sem
ator Bristow fell far short of his duty
in not presenting the facts and his
proofs to the Attorney General rather
than to make a political speech on
the subject. If there is such trust,
it is in violation of the Antitrust
law and all offenders violating it
should be prosecuted.

however, for he at least received

mere fact that he fought memoir

1891. The battle was one of the

Pit Negroes at Table Used by
Bdndmen.
A sensation was created on the
steamer by Mrs. Givens, who re
fused to eat for more than two
days and nights because the Off
GERS wanted to "Jim Crow her
when she took her meals. Her re-
fusal to eat caused such excitement
that the captain and other officers
of the steamer had a consultation
with the irate woman and decided
to adhere to her wishes.
So, instead of putting her at a
rear table with the other Negroes,
Mrs. Givens was assigned at the
best table with the whites. Doctor
Camphor, who also protested
against the "Jim Growing" of the
Negroes. was given seat at an
other table.
Doctor Lewis and Doctor Why
che. although incensed at the dis
eliminating attitude of the officers
of the Adriatic. made no serious
protest against the treatment ac-
corded them and, together with a
Negro chauffeur, whose employer
was also on the ship, ate at a table
used by the bandmen. 1t is said
that they will be the principal
plaintiffs in the suits against the
White Star Line.
When Mrs. Givens was first
seated at the best table with the
whites about three Southerners
are said to have hastily arisen, but
they forgot about their preJudices
at the next meal and during the
rest of the voyage nothing was said
or done to show that ill-feeling
had been created by the seating OF
Mrs. Givens or Doctor Camphor
with the whites. Several white wo-
men who live in Brooklyn were
particularly attentive to Mrs. Civ
ems, among whom were Mrs. Nj.
Furman, and Mrs. Eliza Kinds and
daughter, Miss Mary E. Kinds.
According to Mrs. Given, ii. w.
McElroy, the purser, was very IN
sulting, and when she registered a
protest against being Jim
Crowed" declared: "White folks
are white folks and black folks are
black folks. They should not be
put at the same table when they

Givens said:

The Colorado statesman., 1910-08-20

Denver, Aug. 11.-Can colored
boxer stand the championship
pace? This is a question worthy
of a great amount of consideration
and perhaps more right now, on
account of the recent death of Joe
Cans, mourned and remembered
as the "Old Master" The pass
ing of Cans who by the way was
one who helped to uplift the game
recalls the finish of other Negro
fighters who have fought their way
to the top, only to drop back sud-
denly from the pugilistic lime
light. Just as suddenly have
these few been claimed by the
grim reaper and in each the end
was untimely.
Before Cans there went George
Dixon, the valiant little feather
weight, who listed among his
friends all the white FLOWERS of
the sport. Then there was Peter
jackson, the veteran of many a
scathing heavyweight battle, but
who on account of his color never
attained his one ambition-that of
champion OF the big men.
1t was the fate of these three,
and they were all marvels more or
less in their respeo tive times, to
pass into the great beyond victims
of tuberculosis. That three of
them should meet the same kind
of an end and the fact that they
were all Negroes leads one to ask
what reason can account for 1t.
In addition, there were any num-
Der of other Negro boxers who,
while never considered champion
possibilities, bore enviable records
and each and every one OF them
have passed into oblivion in so far
as the outside sporting world is
concerned. One could name al
most score of these, but most OF
them have been forgotten.
Chief among them was Joe Wal
colt, who in his prime was terror,
but now seems to have dropped
from the face of the earth, due per-
haps to the fact his long career in
the ring has left him in state
popularly classed nowadays as "all
in" He was last heard of some
time last fall, when he appeared
up in Portland, Me-, but, like the
rest of the "old boys" he is all
through.
Speaking of Walcott, a glance
at his record brings forth few in
teresting facts and his career is
probably as interesting as any of
the pas pugilist. In his time he
never did much pickering about
weights, but he took on anyone
willing to meet him and never even
barred heavies.
He fought two draws with Phil
adelphia Jack O'Brien, and bat
tied Sam Langford to a draw in
