A DIsPEysARY.

In last weeks Journal appeared no.
tice of local legislation, of an intention
to introduce in the present legislature
bill to establish dispensary in Ma
rietta, or in other words to inaugurate
the sale of whiskey here. We know
nothing of the provisions of this con-
templated bill, whether it proposes to
submit the question to a vote of the
people or have the Legislature pass it
direct. In either instance we regret
the movement, and hope yet the bill
will not be introduced. Marietta and
Cobb county citizens are at peace and
good will with one another now, but if
this bill is introduced and passes the
Legislature and becomes a matter of
discussion and precipitates an election
eering campaign in the county, it will
breed strife, dissension, bitterness, es-
arrangement of friends and hurt the
town and county. 1t is better to let
well enough alone. Besides we do not
want the sale Of whiskey brought back
to Marietta either in barrooms or in
dlspensary. The whiskey bought in
licensed dispensary will make man or
boy drunk as quickly as whiskey bought
in licensed saloon. There will be as
much crime, poverty and wretchedness
flow from one as the other. As we
have nice, clean, orderly town now,
why not keep it so? We hear many ex-
pressions of disapproval of the contem-
plated measure.
Whatsoever man soweth that shall
he also reap"
Let US not sow whiskey and reap
drunkards.

A BAD ACCIDENT.

On last Friday afternoon at Brumby' g
Chair Factory. Mr.. ]. w. Ewing, the
machinist foreman, had all of his fin
gers on his right hand cut off by re-
volving shaper, his thumb alone re-
naming. At the factory there are two
shapers side by side and sheir revolu-
tions are so great it is impossible to de-
tect with the naked eye the motion of
the machine. AS Mr.. Ewing passed
one of the machines, it appeared as if
it was standing still and he carelessly
reached his right hand out and touched
the revolving blades or saws, and in
stantly his four fingers were ground
off. DR. Reynolds and DR.. Malone gave
the needed attention, Mr.. Ewing came
here a few months lago from Athens,
Ca, with his wife and occupy Mr.. Wal
ter Sessions residence on Cherokee
street. He took position with the
Brumby Chair Company. being very
fine machinist. This terrible accident
incapacitates him for his trade and is a
calamity to his usefulness. The acct
dent is to be greatly regretted.

THEY RETURNED.

They go and they come. There land
ed here Saturday morning on the w. &
A. Il. K. train from Cook county. Texas,
Mr.. /. d, Johnson, wife and four chill
dren. They took the A. K. & N. train
TOR Culberson, N. c., to go to their old
home, which they left eighteen
months ago to try their luck in Texas
They tried Indian Territory at first and
found such lawlessness, drunkenness,
shooting, profanity and disregard of the
Sabbath, with a general mixture of In
dians, negroes and whites to make up
society, that they went to Cook county,
Texas. They planted wheat, corn, oats
and cotton. The crops grew off luxu-
riantly, and the prospect was fine, but
the drouth and hot winds came and the
crops withered at the touch like Jonah's
gourdvine. OF thirty acres in corn,
they made only $40. Sickness was a
constant guest at their home. Mrs.
Johnson had dumb chills and her
daughter who weighed about 15C pounds
when she went to Texas, had "shook the
flesh off" until she weighed about 12C
pounds. The family are returning to
the good old hills of North Carolina to
spend their days in land of plenty to
eat, good water and health.

OPPOSED TO 1T.

A man recently said he thought
Douglas county ought to have dis
pensary, and he is entitled to his opin-
ion And there are others entitled to
their opinion. We don't think the
county has any need of dispensary.
There is one argument in it's favor. 1t
is a source of revenue. There are sew
eral arguments against it. 1t doesn't
drive out the blind tiger as alleged
This has been proven by the arrests for
the illegal sale of liquor in dispensary
towns 1t Increases the consumption
OF liquor and to the detriment not on
ly OF the men who drink but to their
families as we'll. Itincreases rowdyism
on the streets. 1t builds up the reye-
nue. of the town but it does 1T by taking
money that women and children need
Tor food, for clothes and for schooling.
We do not believe that the sentiment
in Douglas county is in favor of the
dispensary. -Douglasville, New South.

TO PURIFY THE PRIMARY.

Hon. Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of
the Savannah Press, has introduced in
the Legislature bill to purify pri-
mary elections in Chatham county in
particular and the state in general. If
the measure proposed becomes a law
it will be misdemeancr to sell or buy
votes in the primary elections, and will
make them legal in the same sense as
the general election.
Another election reform bill. in many
respects similar to the one introduced
by Mr. Stovall, was presented 10y w. r.
Rankin, of Gordon county.
A recent decision of the supreme
court was to the effect that bride giving
and bride taking in primary elections
were not crimes. These bills if enact
ed, will correct this evil.

KilIisnoo Letter.

At o'clock p. m. I take a last look at the Indian village, Killisnoo, and bid good bye to Father Sobaleff, his dear, good wife, and their four interesting children. also had to say good bye to my husband for a short time, as l am leaving for Seattle on business con- nected with our coal mine and may be there a month or two before he can join me. These are the only regrets have on leaving this part of Alaska.
 The fishing boats, so far, are not meeting with as good success as they would like, but hope in week or two to find fish more plentiful.
 Last week the village was much shocked at an early hour in the morn ing by William Larry, an Indian, con- hitting suicide by shooting himself through the head. He was looked up- on by all the Indians as good man in his tribe, as he ranked next to his uncle, Chief Joe Kensey. He was a very intelligent Indian, could read and write and talk English we'll. He be- longed to the Salvation Army here. But he made the mistake of his life, as other men have done, by marrying a bad klootch, or, as she would be called by society, @woman of the under world" The Cottage City came into

Killisnoo the day before and as usual the Indians got whisky. They both were drinking but his wife drank more than he and became very abusive with her tongue, and told him that his mother was witch Now it is great disgrace to be called a witch, or have anyone belonging to you called one. He was so ashamed" as the Indians called it, that he felt that he must take his life. He fired one shot through his arm and then put the muzzle to his mouth and shot, the bullet passing through his head. The tribe his wife belonged to had to give his tribe three hundred blankets and eighty dollars in cash, and I was told that that won't settle it, either. Next winter there will have to be three sorrow and peace dances and more blankets. Last Sun day they buried him. My husband and went over from Angoon to Killisnoo to attend the funeral, as we had never seen an Indian buried by Salvation Army services. We got to the ceme- tery as they were about to begin the service. Andy Wright, an Indian who can read fairly we'll, is the leader of the Army since Mir. Quick left. He came to me and asked me to read the 18th chapter of 1st Cor. for him and lead in singing. replied that would. I then found that I was to conduct all the services. Now I had done most ev- erything imaginable in the way of do- ing for the Indians since 1 came to Alaska three years ago; had held relig- ious services many times, taught some of them to read, and other things too numerous to mention, but on the last Lords day spent at Killisnoo con- ducted an Indian funeral service. We never know at what time, or in what way, we will be called upon to serve the Lord. But we should always be ready and willing to do Gods work in what ever way He leads us.
 A few weeks ago I wrote that the oil and guano company was going to erect a cannery at Killisnoo this spring, but they found they had too much else to do to build it in time for this season. They have decided to build it next year I hear.
 This will be the last letter I will write of Killisnoo and Angoon news. l hope the editor of the News will be able to get more interesting correspon dent, one more experienced in writing for newspapers. have written occa- sionally for the past fifteen years short letters for Eastern papers, but never as a regular correspondent. I am writing this on the steamer Flosie while on my way from Killisnoo to Douglas City. We arrived here at three o'clock on the afternoon of June 18th. I will remain here few days and then take steam CT for Seattle, where I expect to remain until my husband joins me.

1t looks as If we could not have a school house, suitable for the city, un- less we go into debt some s50O0 or more.
 The city is in debt now for incorpo- ration, and it is not advisable to go in any farther.
 It seems to us that the city council should repudiate this school teacher engagement, at the prices spoken of, and cut down to the old prices of SS0 and S1OO per month. These prices are liberal and for which good teachers can 5e employed and have been employed. This reduction alone would save the city S75O. In addition the city council should take hold of this school site. school building, school renting, etc., af- fair themselves, as it is their right and duty; and do it on business principles, as it has not been done so far.
 By going into this affair energetical- ly and economically, the council can build during the next year suitable school house for the city.
 The property owners on D street will have the street planked and sidewalked by that time and the building material can be gotten up economically.
 Council can rent two buildings and repair the old one, and with three teachers we can get along we'll, as we have done before. We certainly have not the means to build a school house this year. TAX PAYER.

Communicated.

EDITOR OF NEWS: Now that the plot of ground at the southwest end of D street has been condemned in our fa- vor for a school house site for the City of Douglas, we are squarely facing the public school situation.
 It is we'll to look into it closely and see how we stand financially and what we can and cannot do in the premises.
 We understand, on good authority, that the Douglas school directors have engaged three teachers for the nine months of school commencing next September, for S31OO, viz: One male teacher for $500, and two female teach CTS for slO0 per month each.
 The plot of ground spoken of above will probably be valued at $500 or more; it will cost $500 to prepare it for school house and play ground, and the legal expenses, surveying, etc., will reach slOO or more, making it foot up some S11OO, ready to build on.
 Providing the council clears up this ground this fall and runs the school in the old building, and such as it can rent, the school expenses for the con- ing school year will foot up near as
