A SHOCKING murder occurred at
Craighead county, not far from
Jonesboro, Ark, the other day of
the daughter of Benjamin Ishmael,
a beautiful girl of Is. His wife is
dead, and his daughter was the on
ly child remaining with him. On
the day of the murder the father
left home, going to the mill, some
miles away, leaving his daughter
alone in the house, and promising
to return shortly. On his return
home after lapse of some hours,
he found his daughter lying on the
floor, weltering in a pool of blood,
brutally murdered, her body pre-
senting a horrible appearance, be-
ing a mass of cuts and bruises, the
murder having been accomplished
with a club or axe. 1t is believed
the crime was committed for the pur-
pose of robbery.

The Two WAYS.

Some folks argue that gambling
is necessary evil, necessary becaus G
a great many people make their liv-
ing in that way. Probably about
the same number make their living
by stealing, but it doesn't necessarily
follow that either of them is to be
encouraged or countenanced by a
civilized community. The gambler
is not worthy of confidence, in a
business way, simply because his
methods are transferred from the
card table to the counting-roOm, and
unrest takes hold of him; crazy
speculation seizes him, and keeps
him upon the rack. He cannot rest.
Common business is too prOsy, too
dull. The ordinary profits of traffic,
slow, perhaps, but sure, are not now
enough, since he has learned that
with the investment of little time
and tact he wins tens or hundreds
by the throw of a card. The votary
of Chance becomes so infatuated
with the fascinating goddess, that he
forsakes all else, and cleaves to her,
deluded with the glimmering hope
that q turn of the tabled wheel will
soon bring him a fortune for moth
ing. And right here is the logical
sandy foundation Of the whole SUBJ
ject. The gambler expects some
thing for nothing. If he loses, he
has parted with his money, and had
no just equivalent, which is all
wrong. 1t is not business. No man
should be asked to give valuables in
exchange for nothing, and the man
of mature growth who engages in
gambling deserves to lose, in his
first venture, all he has ever made
by hard labor, But the public has
this interest, that the wives and
children and those dependent upon
the gambler shall not become a
charge upon the public, and that the
rising generation shall not be cor
rupted by bad examples. You do
not give your ingenious youth
fair chance, if you allow those old
in crime to lead them from the paths
of rectitude. You will not be doing
duty by your boys unless you show
them very plainly the right path and
the wrong path; the steady, plain,
simple, honest way, the highway
where no man need be ashamed TO
meet his friends or enemies, and that
way, where the sinner is always
dodging, hiding, striving to cover
his tracks, and keep ahead of the
fiend which follows so close behind
that his hot breath touches the cheek
of his victim.

THERE seems to be desire among
some railroad officials to make the
law passed by the last Legislature,
to regulate freight charges and op-
pose Determinations, as obnoxious
as possible, in order to bring dis
credit on those who favored its pass
age. Before these magnates take
such steps. it may be well for them
to think twice and look ahead lit
tie, rs the outcome may possibly be
that they will make their manage
meut of these interests so obnoxious
that the people will demand the
passage of a much stronger law at
the hands of the next legislature,
should the very mild one we have
at present prove insufficient to meet
the demands.

Mrs. MoLLIE MICKELBERRY at
tempted the other day on the street
in Terre Haut, Ind, to kill George
Arbuckle, a wealthy retired merch-
ant of that city. Meeting him on the
street she took revolver from under
her cloak and fired at him, but miss
ed Arbuckle and struck Mrs. Nc
Murtry, who was passing by, in the
arm, infiicting an ugly and painful
wound. The trouble she claims is
the refusal on his part to comply
with his contract to marry her.

We see that not few of the ed
itors of the state are laboring under
the misapprehension that the vote
on woman suffrage is to be taken at
the general election the coming fall.
This is not the case. The constitu-
ton provides that a proposed amend
ment shall be submitted at the same
general election that selects senators
and representatives to the legisla-
iure, which will be in the fall of 80.
The reasons for this are probably the
proposed change will be under dis
cussion for two years, and that mem-
bers of the legislature can be elected
with a view to the proper legislation
thereon, should it carry. The la
dies, then, and those who believe
that they are entitled to vote, have
two years in which to make the can
vass of the state.

ATTORNEY GENERAL DILwoRTH's s
home is at Plum Creek, in this State,
and be is engaged in raising cattle,
knows the situation of affairs in the
western part of the State this winter,
and gives, in the following, from the
Lincoln Journal of the 10th, the
truth of the matter, so far as the
unprecedented losses in stock are
concerned:
"He informed US that the recent
severe storms have been very hard
upon cattle, the ranges were covered
with snow, and many of the cattle,
especially the "through cattle,' had
starved to death. Last Tuesday
night he met three of the most
prominent cattle men in that section
of the country, and in comparing
notes found that the loss had been
more severe than he had expected.
Que of the men put his loss at
thirty-five per cent, another at forty
per cent, and the third at fifty per
cent, and all agreed that the worst
was yet to come. The month of
April, says the General, is the most
trying to stock, and even in mild
winters, with the stock in fair con-
dition, the month of April has
always proved very severe on them
The green grass they find in the low
places during the month of April
weakens them very much, and fire.
quently the cattle are found in the
sloughs unable to reach the range.
He predicts great loss during the
coming month.
His own loss has been very light,
owing to tine fact that he has shelter
for his weaker animals, and has been
feeding corn that costs him only
thirty-five cents per bushel."

officers proceed as no change achat-
erer in their business had been made.
Towns and villages organized under
the general law and not under the

six members, will proceed as if no
change whatever had been made.
The only districts affected by the
new law are districts organized

THE emperor, Alexander III, cZar
of all the Russians, was assaulted last
Sunday afternoon while returning
from review of the troops. A
bomb was thrown into the emperOr's
carriage when near the winter palace
and instantly exploded, completely
SCATTERING the carriage and causing
the widest confusion. So great was
the concussion that the people in the
vicinity were knocked off their feet.
The windows in the houses for a
distance of three hundred yards
were shattered. The emperor's leg
was torn from his body, while he
received other serious injuries. Sew
eral other parties near by were in
stantly killed. The car was imme-
diately taken to the winter palace,
but all medical effort to revive him
proved useless, and he died at half
past three o'clock. The bomb used
was made of thick glass, and filled
with nitro -glycerine. The assassins
are described as resembling peasants
from the south country. The name
of one of the assassins lie Roussskoff.
