Is He Entitled to the Support of Juneau Business Men for Having Secured Appropriations
 for Government Buildings?

Public Buildings and Grounds Sl53. Reported with amendment (S. Report S52); amended and passed Senate 04OS' referred to House Committee on Pub- lie Buildings and Grounds S593."
 In the Congressional Record, under date of June 9, 1910, on page 9O54, while the Senate had before it for con sideration the Public Buildings bill the following took place in reference to the appropriation for the buildings at Ju. neau:
 "Mr. Scott (meaning Senator Scott from West Virginia): call up for con sideration pursuant to the noticeI gave yesterday House Bill 26,987.
 "There being no objection, the Senate as in Committee of the Whole proceed ed to consider the bill (H. R. 26,9S7) to increase the limit of cost of certain public buildings; to authorize the en- largement, extension and remodeling or improvement of certain buildings x to authorize the purchase of sites for public buildings, and for other pUr- poses, which has been reported from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds with amendments.
 "Mr. Scott: I ask unanimous con. sent to dispense with formal read ing of the bill and that it be read for action on the amendments of the Con- mittee.
 "The Vice President: Is there ob- lection? The Chair hears none."
 It will be observed from the history of the appropriation in question, which is recited, that the bill appropriating money for the construction of Cover nor's mansion, etc., at Juneau, was in- cluded in the General Deficiency Ap- propriation bill and had been to the House of Representatives and the Gen. eral Deficiency Appropriation bill was back to the Senate for corrections and amendments and following up on pages 9O54 and 9O55 of the Congressional Record, under date of June 9, 1910, are a large number of amendments to the General Deficiency Appropriation bill and on page 9055 the following pro- ceedings were had with reference to the bill appropriating S40,0oO for the construction of Governors mansion, etc., at Juneau;
 "The next amendment was in Section 4, page 21, after line 2. insert (referring to the Juneau appropriation: United States postoRce and courthouse at Ju. neau, Alaska, s2O0,00o.
 "Mr. Scott (meaning Senator Scott from West Virginia); On page 2l, line 8, move to amend the amendment of the Committee by striking out the word courthouse and in lieu insert custom house.

A few days ago, upon Mir. Wick ersham's arrival in Southeastern Alaska, he asserted and gave it out to the public generally that it was by his efforts that congress pas sed the public building bill for the construction of government mansion and federal build- ing at Juneau, Alaska. la order that the people may be set aright npon this proposition, the following is the history of the bill gathered from the congress sional records, to-wit, under date of June 13, 1910, on page 1858 of that pub lication, under amendments to the de. fciency appropriation bill, the follow, ing will be found:
 "Mr. Warren (meaning Senator War ren from Wyoming submitted an amendment proposing to appropriate S4O,OOO for a suitable site in Juneau, Alaska, for residence and office for the Governor of the District of Alaska, etc, intended to be proposed by him to the General Deficiency Appropriation bill which was ordered to be printed, and, with the accompanying paper, referred to the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds and ordered to be print ed." iThis is first appearance of the billl
 Under date of June l6, 1910, on page S4O7 of the Congressional Record, un- der the head of Reports of Committees in the Senate, will be found the follow ing:
 "Mr. Scott imeaniug Senator Scott from West Virginia): From the Com mittse on Public Buildings and Grounds to whom was referred the amendment submitted by Mir. Warren on the 18th instant proposing to appro. priate S40,OOO for the purchase of a site in Juneau, Alaska, for the erection of a building or buildings thereon, to be used as a residence and office for the Governor of the District of Alaska, etc., intended to be proposed to the General Deficiency Appropriation bill reported it without amendment, submitted re- port (No. 867) thereon and moved that it be referred to the Committee on Ap- priations and printed; which was agreed to-"
 The report referred to in the last mentioned paragraph, being Report No. s6z, was a report made by Senator Scott from the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds, and is too lengthy for publication in this issue.
 Under date of June IS, 1910, in the Congressional Record index, under the head of HHistory of Bills and Resolu- tions," at page the following appears;
 "S. s672. To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to secure site at Ju- neau, Alaska, and to erect thereon and flt and furnish residence and office for the Governor of the District of Alaska, and for the Alaska historical library and museum.
 GMr. Warren The Committee on

the word 'courthouse' and in lieu insert 'custom house, so as to read: United States postofflce and customh house at Juneau, Alaska, S200,00O.
 "The amendment to the amendment was agreed to.
 "The amendment as amended was agreed to.
 "The reading of the bill was resumed.
 "The next amendment of the Com mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds was on page 21, after line 4, to insert: United States Territorial Ex- ecutlve mansion, library and museum at Juneau, Alaska, S40,000.
 "The amendment was agreed to-"
 Under date of June 24, 1910, aud on page 9397 of the Congressional Record when H. R. 26,987, being the General Deficiency Appropriation bill as re- ported back from the Senate, was un. der consideration the following action was taken:
 statement of the managers on the part of the House of Representatives as to conference report on H. R. 26,987, entitled An Act to Increase the Limit of Cost of Certain Public Buildings; to authorize the Enlargement, Extension, Remodeling or Improvement of Certain Buildings; to Authorize the Erection and completion of Public Buildings; to Authorize the Purchase of Sites for Public Buildings, and for other Pur- poses.'
 "The Public Buildings bill as passed by the Senate contained l73 amend ments. Nearly all of these amend ments were either new appropriations or increases of items already contained in the bill as passed by the House."
 One of the amendments above re- ferred to was the amendment made in the Senate to the General Deficiency Appropriation bill, above referred to, in adding to the same United States pustoffice and custom house at Juneau, Alaska, s200O0O. United States Terri torial Executive mansion, library and museum at Juneau, Alaska, S40,000."
 In the last column on page 9,3S7 of the Congressional Record, under date of June 24, 1910, above referred to, after some argument by different members of Congress the Speaker of the House stated as follows:
 "The Speaker: The question is on agreeing to the conference report.
 "The question was taken and the con- ference report was agreed to-"
 This was the conference report on the bill as amended and, being agreed to by the House, the same already hay ing been agreed to by the Senate, and being afterward approved by the Pres ident, it became effective and law.
 It will appear;from the foregoing that Mir. Wickersham took no part whatever in the passage of this bill and that Alaska is indebted to Senator Warren, of Wyoming, and Senator Clark, of West Virginia, foS the expenditure of s24O,OO0 of government money at Ju' neau.

Appendicitis
How To Avoid Ii and Escape Sursi-
cal Operation, Told BY One
Who Knows.
A Simple Method That is Always Eff
ficacious-Trial Package Sent Free.

It has only been a few years since
1t was discovered that surgical opera
ton would cure appendicitis; in fact,
it has been but a short time since the
disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an infiarned con-
dition of the appendix, caused by I'M
pacted faces in the small cavity open
ing into the intestine, you then nave
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
inflammation of the bowels. and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, with all, the knowledge we
have Of the disease no medical man
can tell YOU why we should nave an
appendix, why We find il where II Is
or what are its functions, II II mas any.
The disease for which the operation
is cure is usually caused by images
ton, and in many cases follows large
and indigestible meal.
Physicians have until recently rec
commended an operation, but now. as
IT is known that it is caused by indi-
gestion, OF dyspepsia, cure without
an operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the un-
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear. the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal conol-
ton. every organ OF the body operates
as it should, and the Inflammation IS
reduced and the operation is avoided
Conscientious physicians, VINO are
looking after the best interests of thelf
patients, will, always keep a supply OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets HANDY IN
their office. where in cases OF sudden
attacks of indigestion they can raiieVe
the patient at once.
There is no record of a case OF ap-
pendicitis where the stomach and bow
els were in a healthy condition ara
properly digested the food from meal
10 meal.
No better advice can be given TO any
one who has attacks of Indigestion, or
who has been threatened with appendi-
citis. than to tell him TO go 10 the drug
store. pay so cents and take home
