out that Ketchikan became the best town, why, execution without benefit of clergy is what Dr. Jackson surely deserves. We are not informed as to what pr. Jackson's defense is on that most serious charge, but, fine is guilty, capital punishment should be the pen atty. But how now, MT. Truth man and MT. Beddoe? Gov. Swineford told the writer last Thursday evening that the town of the Ketchikan country would be built five miles this side of that place and that Ketchikan would not be any more of town than it is now. If the Governor speaks truly, it will be found later on that Dr. Jackson should have located the school house at this new point instead of SaXman, and then there will be more trouble for the much accused Doctor.
 We are still of the opinion that Dr. Jackson will not be injured by the men who assail him. If the grand juror who wrote the report will make his name known to Alaskans, it will be a sufficient vindication of the Doctor, and so far as the attacks of MT. Brown of Ketchikan are concerned. his recent arrival in the district gives him no op- portunities for knowing anything per. sonally against the record of Dr. Jack son and he must necessarily repeat what the enemies of the Doctor say.
 This, automatically speaking, closes the incident.
 Good bye, Mr. Truth and MT, Beddoe.

MISSIONARY WORK.
The News Man Takes a Hand-Dr. Sheldon Jackson aud His AssaiIants Denial
 of Charges.

of Charges.
 The Truth of Juneau is about the only paper that still insists on keeping up fight against Dr. Jackson. The most that any of the enemies of the Doctor can say is that he has perhaps erred in judgment, that he has built a school house a few miles away from where it would now be more conven- tent, but so far as any intentional wrong is concerned we can find noth- ing in the charges made.
 We are inclined to believe that the paper across the channel draws some of its inspiration from our friend Bro. Beddoe, who was always so violent in his attacks against the officers of this district. We had intended to devote our space to booming Alaska and Alas ka news, but we observe a great field for doing some effective missionary work, for cne issue at least, and we will enlighten our able contemporary on few points connected with this Dr. Jackson matter.
 In the first place, Ex-Governor Swineford did not dictate or write the grand jury report that reflected on pr. Jackson. He was not responsible for its production. We are certain that the friends of the Doctor give the ex-gov- ernor credit for instigating and writ ing the report, out he is wrongfully accused.
 In the next place, large number of the grand jurors who signed the report were tricked into doing so. Those who were entirely uninformed as to the un- truthful character of the charges and those who did not wish to sign such report on general principles were told that the report MUST be unanimous or no report would be made and the men on the jury who did not know the Doc tor were thus induced to sign the re- port. If the Truth man and Bro. Bed. doe will enquire of the jurors, whose names are signed to the document re- ferred to, they will find that, with the exception of two or three, they regret ever having attached their names to the report and now know that they have unintentionally done a good man a great wrong.
 We repeat, compare the work of Dr. Jackson in Alaska with that of the men who inspired the report that defamed him. It was the missionaries, the Will liam Duncans, Dr. Jacksons and others who came to this district years ago, established schools, built churches and made it possible for the defamers of the Doctor to come here and find an opportunity to gain wealth and happi- ness. Yes, compare the life of the man who wrote and inspired that report with the life and work of Dr. Jackson.
 The Truth says that Dr. Jackson's friends don't deny the charge that the school house was built at SaXman when it should have been built at Ketchikan. Such serious charge of the violation of official oath should not be made or denied except upon full and fair investigation of all the facts, If the Doctor thought the town would be built at Saxman instead of Ketchi- kan, and for that reason ordered the school house to be built at the for mer place, and it afterwards turned

JUNEAU'S SUICIDE.

 Evening With aRevoIver.
 Mrs. J. M. Penney of Juneau ended her life last Thursday evening with revolver. The act was deliberate and premeditated for she sent to Seattle for the weapon with which she committed the act.
 Mrs. Penney formerly lived in Seat tie where she possessed a large circle of friends. She was a bright, inteli- gent woman and those who knew her best will be much shocked to hear of the sad ending of a life so singularly beautiful in it's helpfulness to others, and in the enjoyment of the pleasures of life. III health was no doubt the cause of the condition of mind that prompted the rash deed.

The Popular Commander Entertains on Board
 His VesSel-She Leaves for the Sound.
 The City of Seattle was still tied up at the Juneau wharf last Thursday evening. The tug Tyee had arrived to take her down, but she had not been released from the libel proceedings that had been commenced against her. It was very lonesome wait that was en- dured by the Seattle's crew while look ing for tug-it was between two and three weeks.
 Capt. Cornell is popular command CT in Alaska and the City of Seattle is no less so. His calls at Juneau were always so short that the people did not get to see much of him. We'll, the Captain concluded to meet his friends and acquaintances and issued invita- tions to them to attend party on board the City of Seattle on Thursday evening. It was fire turn out. We wouldn't have missed it for anything, but we will always be grateful to Capt. Valentine for making it possible for us to be there.
 Everybody knows what an elegant social hall there is on the Seattle. 1t extends almost the whole length of the boat, and it was practically full of guests. In one end they danced, some played cards, others talked Alaska and boom towns, and others did what Alas kans call chewing the rag"
 The freedom of the boat was extend ed to the guests early in the evening. This freedom, however, was more ex- tended in the Captains quarters than any other place. It was there we met Capt. Cornell, Gov. Swineford, Judge Held and several others. It was the prevailing opinion of those present that the Captain knows good thing when he sees it and tastes of it.
 Along about Il o'clock the guests took seats around the three great tables in the dining room and partook of an elegant lunch. Everybody ate, drank and was merry. The guests all joined in drinking to the health of Capt. Con- nell and his crew and the commander responded with speech. He tried to get out of it, but the guests wouldn't have it that way. Merrymaking con tinued for some time after lunch. It was pleasant evening for all present.
 The officers of the City of Seattle are as follows:
