Delegate Wicker sham addressed the
people of this vicinity last Weduesday
night at the Elks' hall*, Juneau. From
reports of his talk printed in a Juneau
paper we judge that the bottle of Mr.
Wickersham's wrath is still uncorked.
His election has not sweetened him ?
he is still thirsting for the blood of his
political enemies; Let him beware or
he will become as unpopular as tho
preacher who 9till insists ou preaching
to unwilling listeners on the doctrine ;
of the "damnation of infants."
Hallowe'en is drawing near aud no
doubt the smwll boy is beginning to !
plot mischief. Last year a number of
them got iuto trouble by going too far.
No oue objects to the boys having a
little fun, 'but if they go too far the
law will surely step iu.
The government has bought the
Simpson hospital at Juneau aud will i
maiutain it iu connection with the edu
cational department for the benefit of
the natives of Southeastern Alaska.
Last Friday night, at the conclusion
of its labors as an equalization board,
the common council visited St. Anu
avenue, walkiug the full length of the
street to the Treadwell line. They
found '.hat it was, a3 it had been rep
resented, dark ai:d dirty. The edict
has uow gone forth that there shall be
light.
Peter Peterson, a boat builder who
had a shop at the mouth of Law-on
creek, was found dead yesterday after
noon. The mast of a sloop he was re- j
pairing came in contact with the main
line wires of the Alaska Electric Light
& Power company, and by rubbing'
wore away the insulation. Peterson
went out some time yesterday to take
down the mast. When fouud yesterday
he was grasping a stay- wire aud the
electric current was still passing
through his body. 113 was stoue dead.
The body was taken to the hospital
dead-house. Petersou was an old-timer
in Alaska, coming here in 1881. For a
number of years he was employed at
Killisnoo. He was a member of the
Association of Alaska '87 Pioueere. He
was a native of Sweden aud most of his
letters are written iu that lauguage.
Rev. J. H. YVaimaneo, who was a friend
of the deceased, has been appointed j
administrator of the estate, which is !
said to amouul to several thousand dol- j
lars. Coroner VViun, of Juneau, has
decided that au inquest i& unnecessary.
John Feusi Returns
John Feusi, the Front Street hard
ware man, returned Saturday ou the
Humboldt from a visit to the States.
For the first time since coming to Alas
ka some thirteen years ago, John went
back to his old "stamping ground" in
California, visiting San Francisco and
Sacramento. At the latter place he
saw a sister for the first time since he
came North. John enjoyed the warm
sunshine and the flowers, the meetings
with old frieuds, but, after all, was glad
to get back to his Alaska home.
