RETAIL CROCERS
Make DEMANDS

The local situation as regards de-
mands of the retail grocers that
wholesalers be prohibited from SELL
ing hotels has reached an acute
stage and a representative of the no.
tel men stated this morning that
from all appearances there would be
considerable trouble.
The retailers claim they should
have the exclusive right to sell to
hotels and the stepping in of the
wholesalers deprives them of GER
tain amount of legitimate business
which should be theirs. They have
now come forward with the demand
that if the wholesalers persist in
selling the hotels, their books be
thrown open and that the retailers
receive a percentage of the profits re.
sulting from all sales.
This hits the hotels as the whole,
sale men, should they be compelled
to split their profits, will protect
themselves by boosting. the whole
sale price to an amount common

MOVE TO SAVE LIFE OF
THE ALASKAN INDIANS

No Indians in Alaska at all will be
left in two or three generations I'M
less the government at once takes Wig
orous measures to check disease
among them. This is in substance the
statement made in a report by DIR. NJ.
H. Foster, passed assistant surgeon in
the public health and marine hospital
services, who was sent on special de-
tail to make a survey of the health
conditions of southern Alaska. The
survey was made for the bureau OF
education, which has general super
vision of Alaska natives, and as re-
suit of 1t an estimate for an approprL
alton of $4,000 for additional medical
work among the natives is now before
congress. DIR. Foster discusses the de-
crease in the native population of
Alaska as follows:
Owing to the usual lack Of vital
statistics in a pioneer country such
as this, the exact facts on which to
base an opinion have never been avail
able and most OF the statements have
been mere conjecture. At Sitka accur-
ate records have been kept by the
churches, and they show that for a
period of five years and seven months
the annual birth rate has been 1928
per thousand and the annual death
rate S5.4 per thousand. During this
period. with an estimated population
of 400, there were 90 more deaths than
births.
THE returns of the United States
census bureau show that in the last
10 years there has been a decrease in
the total Indian population approx
mately equal to IA per cent, or Ia pei
cent per year. This corresponds very
closely to the rates as figured at Sitka
and they may be taken as indicating
: fairly correctly the rates for the
whole country. The death rate in ths
United States varies from or s Pc
thousand to 35 per thousand, depend
ing upon the locality. An average
/ death rate may be placed at % to 2;
per thousand.
a The very unusual mortality II
e Alaska !. e., S5.4 per thousand, is q

WANTTO PREVENT
BEATING OF BILLS
Grocers' Association Holds
Well Attended Meeting at
Turner Hall.
ADOPT A RESOLUTION
VIII Not Extend Credit to People
Who Have Run Bills and Left
Them Unpaid.

A well attended meeting OF retail
grocers was held last night at Turner
hall at which plans for Tightening up
on the credit system to prevent frauds,
were discussed. 1t ended in the adop-
ton OF the following resolutions: I'VE
the undersigned grocers agree that we
will insist on settlement in full OF all
accounts when due and will carry no
balances. No new accounts will be
opened under any circumstances
where a clear receipt from all former
creditors cannot be shown. Bills will
become due and payable according to
terms agreed upon when accounts
were opened, but in no case will cred
Il be extended for a longer period
than 0 days, and delinquents will be
reported TO the cvredit department OF
the grocers' association"
AIMED AT PROFESSIONALLY
The grocers state that the above
resolution is not aimed at the general
public but at professional bill heaters
people who make a practice of run
ming up bills and then changing stores
and repeating. To aid in preventing
such practices a rating book is soor
to be issued.
The grooers' association is on the
boom. Many Of those present at the
meeting last night are not yet mem
bers of the organization but nearly al
of them expressed an intention OF join
ing while three new members were
taken in during the course Of the
meeting.

Hon. Samuel AIscnuler, candidate
for the democratic nomination for gov
ernor of Illinois, will pay his respects
to the citizens of Rock Island and Mo
line tomorrow. He will arrive from
Freeport shortly before noon and will
lunch in Rock Island. and in the after
noon will proceed to Moline, where he
will remain until $50, when he re-
turns to Rock Island.
In the evening, beginning at 1880,
he will hold an informal reception in
the lobby Of the New Harper, where
he will be pleased to meet the peo-
pie of Rock Island. irrespective of
politics, and republicans as well as
democrats will be welcome.
Mr. Alschuler has many friends
here. made on his canvass for election
to the Office of governor in 1900, when
he was the democratic nominee, and
on subsequent visits to the city.
Mr.. Alschuler is making a clean
campaign for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation. He is not attacking or abus-
ing his rivals among the democratic
candidates or those who seek the NOM
ination on the republican ticket. He
/ believes the governorship of Illinois is
worthy of every mans aspiration and
ambition. and that any man who seeks
the honor should conduct himself as
BELTS the Office, and should go to the
people with his candidacy.
! At the recent luncheon of the Iro-
quois club in Chicago in honor of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson he created en-
thusiasm by Selling Judge Dunno OF
! Chicago. who seeks the same nomina
ton, by the arm and escorting him tc
his seat at the table of honor, while
the guests of the OCCASION stood up anC
cheered 1t was an act characteristic
OF Alschuler's nature On another &C
casion when he and Judge Dunno SPOKE
together at a democratic gathering
down state, Mr. Alschuler said, why
where is Caldwell; he should be heard
too, for he also is candidate" Hav
ing been informed that Mr.. Caldwell
was not present. Mr. Alschuler replied
then l will make a speech for him,
and forthwith he proceeded to give tn
Springfield man finer sendoff than tn
, modesty of that gentleman would hav
permitted him making in his own BIZ
. half. "Size US all three up" said A
schiller, land then make your choic
3 and the other two will be satisfie
with your wisdom. We are not takin
/, advantage of each other. Each of u
l is for himself, of course, and we leav
IL to you"
The incident, indicating so niue
magnanimity and observation-disclosures o
Mr.. Alschuler's part, was heartily al
plauded by his hearers.
Such a man deserves a hearty gree
ing by all classes of people, regar'
less of whether they are supporter
of his individual candidacy or h
party al this stage of the proceeding
and he should be given a fine rece
ton at the New Harper tomorro
evening, and while the occasion is
be entirely informal, he may be pr
vailed upon to make few remark
concerning Illinois state politics.

Nebraska's Pre-eminent Increase in Wealth
There are thirteen states which show total
farm wealth of over billion and one-quarter
dollars, ranging from New York to California
and from Minnesota to Texas; of these thirteen
states Nebraska shows the greatest percentage
of increase in farm property during the last ten
years by the following figures: Nebraska has
increased its farm wealth 142.4 per cent more
than New York, 1889 per cent more than Penn
sylvania, 1874 per cent more than Ohio, 93.2
per cent more than Indiana, 1873 per cent more
than Illinois, 104 per cent more than Wisconsin,
9O.9 per cent more than Minnesota, 63.9 per cent
more than Iowa, 79.4 per cent more than Mis-
souri,, 42.1 per cent more than Kansas, AIS per
cent more than Texas and 75.4 per cent more
than California
AS compared with its sister state of Kansas,
Nebraska has 3,17S, 900 acres less land and $4O-
$4,000 more farm property. And Nebraska
has the smallest population of ary of the thir-
teen states named This spells Achievement
and Opportunity. Who can doubt Nebraska's
pre-eminent place in the agriculture of America?
