A stranger who had been sitting quietly
and apparently unconcerned sprang from
his seat with huge pistol in his hand and
fired at l. E Mcdonald, a pump workman,
hitting him in the back. The next moment
the man turned the weapon upon himself
and fired a bullet into his own brain, from
which he. died.
There was no cause fer the deed, as the

INJUNCTION CASE IS HEARD.
Judge Burroughs Reserves Decision
in Street Car Controversy.

Circuit Judge B. r. Burroughs yesterday
received briefs and listened to short argu-
ments in the case Of the Attorney General
against the East st. Louis and Suburban
Electric Railway for an injunction TO re-
strain that road from connecting the bridge
tracks with the tracks on Broadway, and
also attacking the legality Of the ordinance
under which the street car line Is working.
The. Injunction is the second within a
month. Judge Burroughs decided the first
suit which was brought by the attorney
for the automobile company. in favor Of the
street car company, and informed the au-
tomobiie company that If It thought It was
damaged by the connections to be put in be-
tween the bridge and the street tracks. that
It had civil recourse.
The application for the Injunction. which
Judge Burroughs heard yesterday was
founded on approximately the same grounds
as the one which he denied. with the ex-
ception that the suit of yesterday was
brought in the name of the Attorney Cen
eral Of the State. Judge Burroughs an
nounced to the attorneys that he would
take the case under advisement, and would
render his opinion some time next week

FROM THE SANDSPIT

In another part of this paper will be found a standardization from Mr. Thomas Jacobs addressed to the city coanc. Mir. Jacobs is a resident of the sanGspt, and n common with most Of the residents of that section of the city he believes that the sand spit has been neglected. We are frank to say that share the belief. The people of that section have the most pleasant portion of the city in which to
 live, to be ure, bat they placed under handicaps not borne by that portion of the city this side of Snake river As Mir. Jacobs points out, they have little ire protection and police protection and Snake river bridge. It is true that the city is in financial condition to purchase the bridge but we submit that in the very future plans should be formulated to secure free bridge across the river The perpetual paying of toll becomes wcarisone even if the per capita imposed is small In the of season it amounts to goodiy sum. Under Capt GesoI's ownership and the subsequent management women not charged toll, but understand the present owners, thrifty perchance, and believ ing that they may take who have the power, now puting 'u.ckcl head" on the gentler sex. This is us;ness proposition with them, of course. They have invested their money, and wish, naturally, to reap the largest possible returns. But these gentle men have no exclusive right to Snake river for bridge purposes, notwithstanding assertions to the contrary. The city has the power to bridge Snake river under the regulations of the interior depart mcnt and either this should lc done as soon as the cits financial condition will permit, inc present br ee should be acquired by purchase, of course at reasonable figure.

; A WORD 10 THE WISEACRES.

Wiseacrcs and philoogcal and illogical critics s both at home and abroad recently have written al leged learned dissertations concerning the derivation and meaning Of certain words and phrases peculiar to the north It ought hot to be necessary to point out to actual residents the meaning of certain of these terms The word "mush' applied to oanines in order to induce them to accelerate their speed is not the same kind Of mu.h that one meets at the breakfast table It is n corruption of a French word s used by the French Canadian in the northern wlds of Canada, which means when Americanized march en-" may readily see low we get the ottheard term "mush on.'
 .'Chechako," and by the way, there are various ways of spelling it, but the here given to be more preferable and has been in use for years on the North Pacific coast, especially among the Indians of British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska, is from the Chinook, or the jargon originated by the Hudson Bay Company and was formerly used in conducting trade operations with the natives. There are few old timers of Puget sound who do not know more or less of Chinook" "Chechako" means new conner, and is sometimes applied by the North Pacific Indian to white acquaintance or frlend
 While the subject of the derivation of words and phrases, little attention may here be given to the spelling of native words especially names of places
 The writer has probably assisted as much any one in perfecting the spelling of native names. Ia 1899 and the beginning of 1900 the names "Kouga- rok," .'Kusatriem," "Agapull," "Casadepoga" and others first heard by the white residents of Sew ard peninsula. No one knew how they should be spelled, hence the phonetic system, spelling "by sound" was adopted; and we think the method of spelling those names much superior to that adopt cd by the Board of Geographic Names, who, for example, have seen fit in their unwisdon and igno- rance to spell "Kougarok," Kugruk, and K usatrem" kuzitrin, and 'Casadepoga" Koksuktapaga. We do not know that the spelling of these names will add to or take away the gold producing capabilities of Northwestern Alaska but propose to point out to the Washington ftlemen who constitute the Board

MR. FLETCHER AND GOV. BRADY.

Mir. Donald Fletcher, who we believe is a citizen of Seattle took occasion at the recent meeting of the Trans Mississippi congress ia St Pau! to denounco , Gov. Brady. Mr. Fletcher a. cr,,d that Gov Brady wa. the exponent of policy of oppression and rc- pression and the active oi the great commercial . companies in delaying sofsoyornnent "whilc they gobbled up the best of a magnificent country."
 While not dcfon1in- Uov Brady, irankl, speak, . ing do not believe Mr. Fl cher who, like many other wise pl2r of the States assume to know ali about Alaska because from the deck of excursion steamer they Muir glacier ga2ed .n rartuye ou Mount Perouse and talked witA'a few co|.c on the dock at Juneau. We do not know that Coy. Brady is opposed to "scifgoHcmment." but We assume that he is, for we believe therein lis Mir FlccAers casu, belli against aim. Furthermore, the statement that Gov. Brady is the active gent of the great coinmer csl companies in delaying 2eItgoycrnnent while they gobbe mp the country is absutdity: In short the only statement made bv NIr Fletcher that will bear truthful a,alvsis is .hat Alaska is a mag nificent countrv.'
 We are not inclined to critic.e Mr. Fletcher se- verely, nor to defend G,". Brady The governor las made many mistakes, in GIT opinion, and his error- of judgment have becn numerous, but We d. not be- lieye that he is wholesale .raiter or that he rro poses to assist commercial or other company great or small in the rape of the country. Neither do we think that the actions of the great commer cial' companies aU2ur such q calamity.
 However Mr. Flcchers hostile criticism of Gov Brady will serve to direct renewed attention to Alaska, her condition and her resources.

A 0,NE-TH!RD REDUCTION.

Noucs assessment of real and personal property is one third less than it year ago. The reason vii. je obvious. A good deal of the wind has been squeezed out of inflated values aud they reach ing estimae basis, although we have little doubt that in some this years valuations are too high and perhaps in few instances, too low. It has been the aim of City Assessor White to make the assess ncat uniiornly lair as possible and we venture the prediction that it vii! be found generally satis factory.
 \ ycar ago the city government was being run on the high lacssure plan; there were too many high priced, useless officials whose chief labor was signing the payroll All this has stopped for good and sufficient The high-pressure plan nearly broke the municipality. However the city is slowly regainng it's lost credit, and wil with careful and economical methods be out of debt by this time next year But in the meantime the strictest economy consistent with efficiency of government must be maintained.
