The chief signal officer of the army
General Allen, is disposed to make
prompt use of the twenty-five thou
sand dollars appropriated in the
army bill for the purchase of flying
machines. This country has been
behind European countries in the
adoption of aeroplanes for military
purposes. France is the leader in
the art, and now has fleet of more
than thirty flyers manned by
thoroughly trained aviators: 1t has
appropriated one hundred million
francs for the improvements in mill
tary aviation. AS many as seven
types of aeroplanes are used in the
French equipment. Besides there
are hundreds of aeroplanes owned
by private individuals and should
the time come for military opera
tions, the French army would be
strengthened by the skilled owners
of these private flying machines.

A Native Tragedy

Mary Dewar, a native woman, died at her home on Che Douglas beach last Wednesday night at 10 o'clock. Some suspicious circumstances in connection with the case led Commissioner Vim to hold an inquest Thursday afternoon. A jury visited the humble cabin Of the deceased, in company with the commis- sioner and pr. DeVighne. The latter made an examination oG she body and found no outward signs of violence. On the other hand there were many in- dications that the death had been other than natural one.
 The investigation was continued at the office of the city clerk, where the son and daughter told the same story of how their mother had eaten six ooli- gan about 2 o'clock of the day of her death aud was taken sick immediately after. A few scraps of the fish were fed to a pet dog by the unfortunate woman, and the dog died in very few minutes. The son, when asked why he ate none of the fish, repliedthat he was busy at the time fixing broken. door. In answer to the same question, the girl said tBat sbe vas busy cooking her own dinner.
 The fish in question were present to the woman from neigh5or named Harris, also native.
 Upon this ezideu&e and the state. ments of the physician the jury based its verdict that the woman had been poisoned, by what and by whom un. known. Rumor has it that Harris, who supplied the fish, bad been euamored of the young girl, but the mother ob- iected to. his attentions. Harris had pounded on the cabin door and called the woman vile nemes.J
 Another report has it that the girl visited Juneau drug store and at tempted to buy poison few days previous to her mothers death.
 There seems 10, be little doubt that the woman was foully murdered, but the question is. 'Who did it2"

Cottage City Wrecked

The steamship Cottage City, Capt. A. c. Jansen, m aster, was wrecked at Cape Nudge, at the entrance to Seymour narrows, at o'clock last Thursday afternoon. The passengers and crew escaped iu the ships boats.
 The Cottage City was >northbound, eighteen hours out from Seattle. In a heavy wind aud binding snow, sud den squall drove the ship onto the rocks. Late reports are that she has broken in two and will. be complete loss.
 The first report of the wreck came to Juneau by wireless, andin it's uncer- tainty filled the hearts of all with fear for the safety of the passengers and crew. When it was learned allwere safe every body felt better. The Cottage City was almost part ofSoutheasteFn Alaska for there are few who have not made trip on her during the many years she has travelled up and down this coast. The hoarse below of her musical old whistle was familiar to all. . She was built at Bath, Me-, in 1890, and first came to Alaska during the Klon- dike excitement.

Kit Carson, who, his friends declare, has been on earth thousand years and can tell a story with all the Vigor of truth, was in town Wednesday,, says Travellers Tales. He told story of how one night at an Alaskan port, broke but not broken, he turned his energy into a cool S100 cash. His friends further declare Kit never did what he claims to have done in this story.

 The body was taken ashore, placed in the warehouse office, and Kit brought out squirt gun, he says,, cut one or two.of the arteries with knife and inistered-kerosene hypodermic- ally.

 "Cost you a, hundred bucks," said Kit.
 A roll of bills was She response. Kit got busy with the telegraph. and reached friends of the deceased skipper in San Francisco. The body was taken out on the next steamer. and reached its destination safely.
 It was months later before Kit saw the man of the sailing vessel and the foggy night down in San Francisco.
 "Do you remember the evening that that undertaken at Juneau embalmed the body of your skipperH" said Kit,
 The man remem bered all about it..
 "How did it come out2"
 "Our shippers face," said, the man, alooked as natural as in life with the bloom of youth in his aged features. That's what I'd call a fine job, sir"

With the completion OF this handsome
editice Rrawley can boast of one of the
most beautiful places of worship in South

justly proud of his endolvors in getting
the building under way. He desires to
have its cast assured or at least partly
so before beginning actual building op-
erations and his quest II this respect
has met with a hearV response and he
hopes within very shor time to have
an amount of money assured for its COM
pletion,
Men of standing in the community who
have been appealed to for aid have not
been found wanting in their generosity
Father Burelbach will soon have the re-
quired amount in hand and consequently
is much elated over his efforts thus far.
