FALLS TO HIS DEATH
uorrib,o Accident Near sheep Creek
 Mines,

A terrible accident, whereby August Wiltschko. native of Bohemia. about 5 wears of age, lost his life. says the Juneau Miner, occurred at Sheep Creek yesterday morning.
 MT. WiItsehko for some days has been suffering from toothache and, accompanied bv his friend, Thomas MeDevitt, stated to come to Juneau to consult a dentist. Between the Queen and the Glacier mines there Is a great draw where larg. bodv of snow lodgee. Soft weather, followed by a hard frost, forms an ice crust on the snow which makes travelling over 1t at such time particularly dangerous.
 Yesterday morning the light fall of snow had covered the Ice, and Mr. Wiltsehko. not knowing of the Ice beneath, slipped and was preeipitated to the bottom Of the mountain, distance of 1000 feet. MT. McD.vitt immediately descended 10 where the unconscious body of his com . panion lav. He discovered that the un- fortunate man had, during his fall, broken , hIs legs and one arm, besides being hor' . rlblv bruised about the head and face. I Word was immediately sent to superln- tendent George at the mine, for assistance Mr. George promptly responded by send Ing four men who carried the unfortunate
 man on stretcher to the ferry, whence h'
 was conveyed to St. Ann's hospitaoIe II
 this city, at which place he died about
 o'clock today.
 The deceased man came to Juneau iron

Ancient War Songs.

julius Caesar had his men sing songs
OF triumph after a victory and some
of the verses are in existence to-day.
Edward I. had the Welsh bards put to
death because he thought they melted
the soldiers to battle. In Spain many
traces of Roman war songs are to be
found. Spanish and Portuguese war
songs were called romancers. The Cid,
written in the twelfth century, has al
ways been the martial inspiration OF
the Spaniards. What the Cid is to
Snain the Roland is to France. The
"Chanson De Roland" has been sung
since the eleventh century, and has
$500 verses.

Down Somewhere.

A Maine reason why so many people
are killed by hunters in the Moosehead
lake region is that the modern rifle
carries it's ball mile or more, SO that
when a hunter misses the game at
which he aims, or thinks he aims, there
is no telling where the missile will
land. If things keep going from bad

state legislature will have to enact a
law recurring sportsmen when they fire

Suicide Statistics.

The statistics of suicide, which are
now very carefully reported, show that
the most intellectual races, and those
who are most subject to the emotions,
are most, prone to suicide. The Ger
mans lead in the number OF such
deaths. The French come next. The
Americans rank third. 1t is observed
that suicide is almost unknown among
the negroes.

some European parts there are exam
pies of the monopolization of the liquor
traffic by cities as a temperance meas
ure. In many towns and cities to-day
the current issue involves the ques-
ton of the city or municipal ownership
of a variety of public utilities, includ-
ing local telegraph and telephone lines
There can be no question about the
lively interest taken in the subject Of
municipal ownership, nor Of the very
deep hold the thought has upon the
public mind The ardent advocates OF
such ownership dwell almost wholly
upon the desirability of ownership
without much considering the question
involved along with it, namely, the adj
ministration of these utilities when
once secured. Those who fear that
ownership will augment corruption in
city management are replied to by
Professor Benlis, the latest mono
graphist on the subject and a leader
IN the ownership campaign, that it
NOuid Dt Impossible Tor munlclpal
management to be worse than it now
is under attempts to secure special
privileges. But we submit that such
a reply is not in keeping with sober
consideration of the subject. There
should be affirmative reasons for mu-
nacipal ownership, rather than negative
and dogmatic statements. And there
are plenty of such reasons. However,
we are recording fact now, rather than
discussing policies. We believe that the
ownership idea is rapidly and strongly
advancing, and that it will be very like
~ to sweep over the whole country and
be adopted so far as State laws permit
IN several leading and many smaller
cities OF the nation. The new charter
OF san Francisco permits the monop-
olization of certain public utilities by
the city under a referendum and an
initiative system of determining the
wishes of the people, and this example
IS quoted widely in support of the
ownership and the referendum and mi
uative ideas.

The voters Of the city of Detroit
have by direct expression authorized
and instructed their municipal authori-
ties to purchase the local street rail-
way systems. These the city will now
either lease or operate, most likely the
latter. The example of Detroit has
been infectious, and in half a dozen
cities in which street railway fran
chiseS are about to expire the question
is uppernsost, shall the city buy the
lines and operate them or renew the
franchises? So far as the ownership
by cities of certain utilities is con-
cerned there is nothing new in the
idea The Portland ~Oregonian" points
out that Portland fifteen years ago be-
came the owner of the system OF do
nestle water supply for that city. Sac
1anlento can go the Oregon metropolis
better-she has always owned the city
water system, and is so jealous of that
proprietorship that we doubt very
much if any temptation will ever in
duce her TO part with it In the United
States to-day out of b 1876 large water
systems for supplying cities, l,o95 are
owned by the municipalities them
selves so far as water is concerned,
therefore. the ownership of it's systems
by cities is a proved economy-it is no
longer experimental. Yet in the year
1850 there were but sixteen water sys-
TENS in the nation In 1880 there were
a few over fifty electric lighting plants
owned by cities, but to-day there are
about 400 Very many cities hold valu-
able wharf privileges in theirow right,
having refused to even lease them. In

The Wardner dynamiters are being
gathered in by the police and the mill
tary rapidly These lawless men will
find that the people of the United States
have weaied Of the resort to force in
the name of labor and the employment
of arms, bombs and the torch to wreak
revenges because things are not always
attuned to the ideas of labor organiza
lions here and there. The great body of
the membership of labor organizations
throughout the land is opposed to the
lawless methods resorted to by the hot
headed and passionate men of Wardner.
The cause Of labor has been enough
hurt by such resorts; the true friends
prostitution of its name to the ends and
methods of crime There has been too
much of that already. The right to
strike Is inviolate, but the right to kill
and destroy because the demand of the
striker is refused does not exist, and the
thoughtful element in labor's ranks will
not longer tolerate resort to these GRIM
inal means of Furnishing the employer
of labor. The Wardner dynamiters
ought to be prosecuted and punished,
and we believe that they will be. 1t is
evident that they have not the SYM
pathy of their neighborhood, and that
the real worth of the labor element in
that section not only deplores their ac-
ton, but is denouncing it as absolutely
foolish as well as criminal, as by no
possibility could union labor be bene-
fitted by the destruction of the property
through which labor hopes to get it's

A PARALLEL.

Inc Stockton Independent naively
calls attention to the fact that the
Ch1lkat Indians are in rebellion and
we are after them with soldiers and
guns, but no one is shedding tears over
them because of expansion in that di-
rection. Very true. Over thirty years
ago we bought Alaska of it's proper
and acknowledged owner. We paid
hard cash for the territory and no one
raised single word of objection. We
have to the best of our ability carried
our civilization into the region and flat
ter ourselves that we have achieved
betterments. But it was expansion all
the same. Now, when We wish to i'm
prove roads and cut through mountains
and forests, the Chilkats arise in their
might and say, I'VE are native to the
soil, savages though we are We want
freedom, liberty and all that; we want
to govern ourselves in our own way and
we will fight you to the last to keep
you out" There we stand. These
northern Fflipinos are the counterparts,
so far as the situation is concerned, of
the Oriental Fflipinos. In both cases
we purchased the territory, took pos
session, sought to do the people good,
when a portion of them took up arms
against US. For Russia substitute Spain,
for the Chilkats substitute the Filipinos,
and there you are with adeadly parallel.
But neither Mr.. Atkinson nor Mr.. Hoar,
or any other anti-expansionists are
shedding tears over the Chilkat struggle
for liberty and against expansion. There
is no sympathy expended upon them,
yet the Chilkat claim is precisely like
that Of the Filipinos. 1t really does
make a difference which way a cat is
strOked
