Monday at noon the Union wharf at Juneau burned to the piles. The fire originated from au oyerheated stove in the office. The wharfuger discovered the fire and spent some time tryiug to fight it single. handed. By the time the fire boys reached the scene a great volume of black smoke hung over the buildings aud it was too late to do any thing but save adjoining property. From Douglas the fire looked as if it threatened the eatie city. Elmer Smith telephoned over asking if help was needed, and tho reply came that they needed every bit of help they could get. The Douglas fire bell was rung, and a bunch of fremen, with hose, uozzIes and ladders hurried to the wharf where the ferry boat waited to take them across the channel. The watchers on the Douglas shore aDx- iously waited until it was plain that the fire was under control, and then went to their dinners The property destroyed belongs to the Alaska Steam ship company. The Juneau Dispatch places :he loss at S50OO0.

It is perhaps not for ordinary nor tals to fully understand the power and uses of the. Federal grand jury. In days gone by when an indictment was wanted by the U. S. attorney who was seeking to eDfore the law which said that liquor should not be sold iu Alaska, the grand jury has refused to act. Again citizens striving to obey the laws, have been haled into court by grand jury indictments, based on such trivial array of evidence that there was DO possibility of a conviction by a trial jury. The grand jury which re gently passed into history at hetchi- kan left as a mouumeu, to itself, an array of statements in regard to the municipal government If that town, which can and will accomplish but one thing, and that is the discredit of the town and its citizens, whether deserved or uot. The stigma will rest. The statements made by the grand jury will stand. There will be no oppor- tuuity to ulspro7e them. They may be false, or ouly partly true, it being no one's special business to remove the blot on the character of the iowa, the world will have to accept and believe the grand jury report. But what good can possibly result?

KENOSHA, Wis. February %. Mrs.
Caroline Durkee, lightweight years OF
age, widow of Charles Durkee, third
United States senator from Wisconsin.
and formerly territorial governor Of Utah.
died at her home in this CITY late Tues
day night.
Mrs Durkee was the sole claimant to
the millions Of dollars which have been
sought from the United States govern-
ment on the claim that Senator Durkes
left q large number OF railway bonds in
pthe United States Treasury in 1875.
The courts Of the government declared
that the effort to collect the value OF the
bonds was a mammoth swindle. Mrs.
Durkee never questioned the decision OF
the courts, but she held that she did not
know whether or not her husband had
left any bonds with the government.
Mrs. Durkee had lived q secluded life
since tho death OF her husband in 1872.
and few people knew OF her death until
yesterday. She had never taken any par
sonal part In pushing the claim. Tho last
demand made on the claim was for some
thing over 500. 900.

Woman Seeks Separation
From Husband Who Put AMI

NEW YORK, February 23. - Herman
Bingle. who keeps the candy store at
Port Washington. l.. l., found his break
fast chops not entirely to his palate's Xix
ing one morning several months ago. He
asked his wife, Laura, to bring a bottle
of sauce from a cupboard, but Mrs. Bin
gle declined, with a shudder.
Have you forgotten the mouse that's
been in the trap there for the last three
days?" she asked. II don't dare touch
the horrid thing
"Pooh!' Bingle replied. and brought
both sauce and mouse to the table. When
breakfast was over Mrs. Bingle broke
all the dishes that had been near the
mouse. Next she sued for a separation.
Tuesday in the supreme court at AIineola
she told Justice Townsend Scudder that
the mouse incident was only one of her
husbands cruel and inhuman acts.
Husband Wants Divorce.
Bingle had complaint to make against
his wife at the same time. He incor-
porated it in an application for absolute
divorce, and Justice Scudder devoted his
holiday to a hearing of the two cases.

deavoring to dissatisfy its stock
holders.
What do you think the earnings OF
the Buick Oil Company will be when
we have 10 wells upon the Buick
Midway forty, all of them bringing
in 1850 to 5000 barrels Of oil. or
more. per day? Selling our oil at
sc per barrel means that we will
enjoy an income of $50 TO s1.JW
per day for each and every we'll put
down if these wells run LOO to 5000
barrels per day. This means that
our income would be on one acre
alone $500 to $4,000 per day, or
such an income is possible upon
one acre. what will the income be
upon forty acres. and every acre IN
the Midway tract is, In our opinion.
equal to the land upon which our
Buick Midway No. 1 well is located.
No man alive can figure out the
profits to be derived from Buick oil.
They are merely speculative.
We feel that Buick Oil stock will go
to several times It's present price
and we fully anticipate being able
to return to our stockholders, IN the
nature of large dividends. ample
profit upon their investment, simply
from several Of these wells. When
our J6O-acre holdings are being OPP
Maricopa Sunset. and after we have
several other wells gushing upon
our Midway tract, the earning power
of Buick Oil stock will be colossal
Now is the time to buy Buick
shares at % cents. Do not wait a
single day. Do not delay, but pur-
chase as many of these shares as
Your present income and mode OF
life will enable you to do. 1T is our
opinion that this company VIII NOT
have to sell very much more or ITS
stock, and We believe from the
thousands upon thousands of letters
which we have received in the past;
and are receiving today from all
sections of this country. that we
will exhaust every share We have
for sale within a very short time.
Our No. we'll, which will be
started Immediately, should reach
the oil body in 40 days. and No. ;
we'll should come in within d short
time thereafter. 1t is our hope and
ambition to have three producing
wells on Buick Midway 40 by the
middle of summer and we believe
that when these wells are producing
this company'S stock cannot be
purchased for two or three times
the price it is selling at today. for
then it should be earning very large
dividends.
All questions of experiments are
now in the past The future of this
company resolves itself down to a
purely arithmetical question.
This company publishes little pa
per called the Buick Oil News"
which appears twice each month.
The next edition of this publication
will be out in about one week, and

At last we are enabled to give the
public definite and specific news. We
have struck our first gusher and it
is one of the best in the field.
Do you know what this means?
Do you know that it answers every
one of the critics and those who
have scoffed and lied about Buick
Oil? 1t tells our stockholders that
their Judgment has been right. More
than this, it tells in direct language
the value of Buick Midway holdings.
Think of an oil we'll that is today
producing from 1900 to 5000 bar
rels. At the present selling price of
oil this means a daily value OF from
$50 to S1,50O to the we'll. This is
not the important question, however.
The real proof of this well lies in the
fact that our Midway forty is a
proven territory. We can sink ten
wells, yes, fifteen wells. to the acre.
We have forty of such acres and this
is Just small proportion of our
holdings in this field. We do not
intend to stop now that our we'll has
come in. but the crew that has been
working upon the No. 1 we'll will
now shift their operations to Buick
Midway No. ., and another crew
will be installed as soon as possi-
BILE upon Buick No. 3 and No. 4 and
No. &.
The pipe lines. as you know. are
close to our property. We will have
no difficulty from this course Our
oil, as it flows from our well, will
flow from our settling tanks and
yats into the great pipe lines close
by and from there on north to
Frisco or west to the Pacific coast,
where it viii be loaded into vessels
Or trains OF cars and sent to mar
i ket.
We have repeatedly told the public
that we would bring in this we'll and
that it would he a big one We
have made good our predictions.
The telegram we received and
quoted above bears the announce
ment only that the well has come in.
Later we shall receive full and COM
plete information from Mr.. y. d.
Buick, who is upon the field. and
this information we shall send forth
to our stockholders in special re-
port. published in the Buick. Oil
News" We shall be glad to give
this report also to every one who
writes to us for 1t. One week from
today we shall also publish the very
latest developments with respect to
our No. l well, and our other hold
ings. throughout the press of this
country. Thousands upon thousands
Of people have written us that they
contemplated purchasing Buick Oil
stock when we actually had struck

American Students as Leaders.
These are only a few whose names
have been easily recalled, and, in addition
to the others, ten or more young men
who were educated in America are in
the diplomatic and consular service.
American students have been leaders in
public affairs, especially since the Boxer
troubles. For a time previous to that
epoch in the history Of China, when for
eign ideas were not popular among the
conservative and reactionary classes.
they were looked upon with suspicion
and contempt; they were regarded as
renegades and apostates, but when the
tide turned and the empire awoke to the

amount of stock that will be sold
within the next six or seven days.
We have repeatedly told the public
to buy Buick OIL We told You to
do this when the shares were 10
cents. and thousands of stockhold-
the same. when the stock is 40
cents. for it is certainly going
higher.
The income which we receive from
the sale Of oil from our first we'll
will not only enable this company to
sink its future wells in more rap
i'd manner, but this single we'll has
had the influence OF stamping the
Buick property as proven and val
liable property. The Buick Oil
stock has now been taken out OF
the non-producing class and is a
producing company. We do not in
tend to rest upon our oars, but we
do say that the No. 1 well proves
absolutely the value of the Buick
Oil holdings Of $40 acres. Work is
soon to be started upon our $50
acre holdings in the Sunset Security
field, and little later we shall be-
gin operations on our forty-acre
tract, located in the Maricopa Sun
set field. We have told You about
the Buick Midway, we now tell You
about our J6O-acre tract and our 40
acre tract. The oil men Of the Mid
way field are wildly enthusiastic
over the bringing in of the Buick
Midway No. l well. This well has
been the center of attraction for
the past ten days, and our reports
from the oil fields have proven to
US that utmost excitement has pre-
vailed among owners of oil lands
adjacent to the Buick property.
Upon one side OF us the Southern
Pacific is reported to have paid
three million dollars for a tract of
land; upon the other is the Califor-
mia Midway. which has already
brought in one gusher and is now
down within a few hundred feet of
oil sands. The bringing in of the
Buick Midway well has proven this
entire region. No wonder there is
excitement. For those who are
vicinity one can feel almost certain
that every acre will net them thou
sands upon thousands Of dollars
per day in income.
The people of the United States
have had faith in D. d. Buick. the
founder and inventor of the Buick
automobile. They have been instru-
mental in the bringing In of the
Buick Midway well. for they have
purchased Buick Oil shares because
of the record OF d. D. Buick. Now
that Mr.. Bucks predictions have
come true in one instance, this COM
pany will not only enjoy the most
unheard-Of patronage SO far as fu-
ture sales of this stock are concerned,
but it is enabled by this glad news
to forever silence the malicious
critics who have been attacking
Ruick Oil and who have been on
