ANOTHER NAME
 ON MISSING LIST
Wife Writes Pathetic Letter of Inquiry Regarding Her
 Husband

The PrOSpcctOr is in receipt of a pathetic letter of inquiry from Mrs. Byrd Lcmen, of Piitsburg, Pa. She states that her husband, Walter C. Lemen, left home tO better their fortune and she has not heard from him since the end of June last, al which time he was in Seward but expected to go to Nome. Her letters to Nome have been returned as uncalled for and she has appealed to the Pros pcciOr to assist her in getting news of her husband, whom she fears has met with some fatality, as they were happy before he left for the north.
 He is described as being 35
 ears of age, tall, weight about i75 pounds, dark brown eyes, sharp features, high forehead and lit- tlc bald. He is third degree Mason and may have affiliated with members of that order. Any one knowing the whereabouts of the missing man are requested to write Mrs. Byrd Lcmcn, 1905 Race st., Pittsburg, Pa.

Juat Wrath.

They were an elderly couple. The old man looked as though he might have been a gay boy in his time, and the old lady was prim, grim and watchful. They were strolling along the avenue when young lady at some distance slipped and fell. The old man rushed along, raised her up and, lifting his hat, offered to assist her in any way. Meanwhile his wife, following on and witnessing his devotion to the strange lady, shook her fist at him.
 "It s all right, dear" ne whis- pered.

SHOULD USE SITKA BARRACKS
 AS ASYLUM.

The War department has decid- ed to abandon the marine bar at Sitka and the men and officers will be removed at an ear ly date. The withdrawal of the marines is another blow tn the old town of Sitka, which has prac- tically been abandoned since the capital was lost to it and cslab- liShcd al Juneau.
 The withdrawal of the marines and the abandonment of the bar racks presents an opportunity for other sections of the territory to come io the assistance of Sitka and help her maintain her place on the map of Alaska. The bar racks made useless by the with drawal of the marines should pro- vide an ideal asylum for the care of the insane and indigent of the territory. The buildings have been kept in the best state of re- pair. Last year a heating plant costing S20,0O0 was installed and the buildings have all modern im- prnvcmrniS possible for the gov rrnmrni iu provide. The build ingS are also the property of the government and will no doubt be permitted tO gn lO ruin as is uSu- ally Ihr ease unless turned lO use Tor other purposes. The prop crty which is under the War de- parlm"nI could br tranfrrrrd iO the treasury department.
 The cost ln the government for caring for AlaSka'S insane is con- siderable and an effort should be made io have IhiS money spent in Alaska where il would add io Lhr general prosperity nf the ter riiory as a whole.
 The present system of prOvid- ing for Inc care of AlaSka'S in sane in asylums in the states by contract iS burdrns0mr in the rX- irene. Unf0rtunatrS are sent out accompanied by guards whose rX- Ira wages. rXprnSrS and iranSpnr- Iation consume d big portion of inc money charged to Inc care of fhr i"rriIory'S insane. The bar racks at Silka should provide ideal quarters for In asylum and the climate iS as agreeable as any portion of the coast. An effort should bc made by AlaSkans In have the money spent al home in- SLrad of going Io help build up outside towns. If lhr matter iS taken up hy Ihr chambers of com mcrcr and other organizations of Alaska il will br possible in help inc old town nf SiIka and effect a saving lO the government at the same lime.

gram -Attorney General Martin has

OF the lynching OF Charles Sellers and

Victor Wolfe Of Blair has pleaded
guilty to selling misbranded goods and
fined as a result OF activity OF the pure

Controversy over stock.
A new turn has been taken In the cele-
brated Hymers case involving stock In
the Red Lodge. Montana, Townsite com
pany. Several days ago Mrs. Hymers
discharged her attorneys and filed
stipulation containing a compromise OF
the Utilization on condition that she be
paid slosoo for her stock. Next her nus
band came into court and objected to the
compromise being confirmed by the court
alleging that his wife had been deceived
and that the stock was worth much more
The court refused to permit his inter-
yentlon on the ground that he was not
marty AT interest in the litigation. Now
comes Tibbetts and Anderson, her former
attorneys and object to the confirmation
alleging they have been re-employed and
setting forth that Mrs. Hymers was de-
eeived and that the stock In reality ~
worth $4,000. when II Is alleged she was
Informed Il was worth only the amount
stipulated In the agreement II Is also
set forth there are dividends due and
unpaid on the stock amounting to 5000
The hearing went over until Monday.

LINCOLN. Neb.. Feb. s+-(Special.t-
The Central Labor union of Lincoln has
passed resolutions protesting against Dr.
Winnett sitting In Judgment Of the Lin
coin scent fare case when II comes up
before the State Railway commission, on
the ground that he had previously ex-
pressed an opinion on the merits OF the
case and for the further reason that be-
fore being elected a member Of the rail-
way commission he was employed as
physician by the street railway company.
Dr. wlnnett today said that in his en-
tire public career he had made IT point
not to answer charges and that he did
not think he would do SO now. II he
should decide to reply II would be over
his own signature He did say, however,
that the union labor men had been mis-
Informed regarding the matter.
Incidental TO this comes the announce
ment of VIII Maupin OF his candidacy
for the democratic nomination for rail-
way commissioner. Maupin is 30 frank
about the matter that 1t Is evident he Is
having a little fun at the expense OF
certain candidates rather than being Sc
riously in the race. He candidly admits
that no one has asked him TO be candi-
date and he does not know that anyone
intends TO invite him. but he confesses
that the SEQ per year salary looks good
to a man who has to make his living out
of the newspaper business.
