Resulting From Father Preventing Ills
Dauchter's Marriage.
Charles Joplin shot and killed five per-
sons Thursday at the Jenny Lind Mine,
twelve miles from Fort Smith. Ark,
and then committed suicide by shooting
himself. Those he killed were John
Miller his wife, his grown daughter,
Lou Miller, DR.. Stewart, a prominent
physician. and man whose name is not
known. The shooting occurred late in the
day. Joplin has been at work at Jenny
Lind, where he fell in love with Miss
Miller whom he murdered. He was in
the city Thursday with the girl for the
purpose OF marrying her, but her father
followed and prevented the ceremony,
taking his daughter home with him.
Joplin followed them out later, and
thinking DR.. Stewart had something to
do with breaking up the match, killed
him. The old man he killed in the
prairie first turned out to be A. L. Dull,
of Hutchinson. Kas. He told young
man while riding with him that he
was sorry he killed the old man, but
that he ought to have got off the pony
quicker.

VIII Not Hang a Man ON rr,dav.

In the. Circuit Court at Pine Bluff,
Ark, Friday, Judge Elliott created a
decided sensation. The case of Charles
Seward, convicted of murder in the first
degree, was before him on motion for
new trial. Seward was prominent
farmer of Desha County and killed a
neghbor over year ago. Judge
Elliott reviewed the case and then
gave decision overruling the motion
for new trial, sentencing tho prisoner
to be hanged on Thursday, January
80 After passing sentence, he said
that he saw from the apparent surprise
of the people in the court room that an
explanation was in order and then in a
few words he stated that he never had
and never would sentence a man to be
executed on Friday, because on that
day Jesus Christ was crucifed
and he would not insult the mem
ory of the founder of Christianity by
sentencing a murderer to be hanged on
the day upon which the Son of God sac.
rificed his life for humanity's sake.

Steamer City Of Baton Rouge Sunk at Her.
mitage LandIng-Passengers Drowned
and Cargo Lost.
The big Anchor Liner City Of Baton
Rouge, plying between New Orleans
and st. Louis, was wrecked at Hermi-
tage, La. Friday, at 8 o'clock. The
steamer had q full load of freight and
passengers, and was on her way down
the river. While attempting to make
landing, which is on the west bank of the
river. three miles above Port Hudson,
the steamer struck a snag and was to-
tai wreck. The hull broke in two, and
the cabin and hurricane roof float
ed of and sank. In fifteen minutes aft
or the steamer struck the last trace of
her had disappeared. Two deck passen-
gers and six or eight way passengers
were lost but as yet 1t is, is,impossible to
obtain particulars or the names Of the
lost. There is now about seventy feet
of water at Hermitage Landing
and the snag which wrecked the
Baton Rouge is the old Pecan tree
or stub that caused the Paris q. Brown
disaster in 1885, Tho crew of the
wrecked steamer and those of her pas
sengers who were saved are now at
Hermitage awaiting the arrival of the
Oliver Beirne. The City of Baton
Rouge was heavily laden with western
produce from st. Louis and some few
small lots of cotton picked up on her
way down. She was one OF the finest
sidewheel steamers on the Mississippi,
worth S15O.0OO. She was built by How
ard, of Jeffersonville, Indiana, in 1881.
Captain Frizevant, of Shreveport, La,
was among the passengers saved. He is of
the opinion that there is possibility
that the six or eight way cabin passen-
gers who are missing may have escaped,
but there is no doubt about the loss of
the two deck passengers, and he fears
that the six or eight cabin passengers
who had boarded the steamer at land
ings between there and st. Louis, and
who were on the way to New Orleans,
are also lost.

Origin of a Common Expression.

Barking up the wrong tree is very
common expression in the west. It orig
mated from the fact that a dog will bark
at the foot of particular tree to indi-
cate to his master where the game is
located. While endeavoring to see the
animal he discovers it on another tree,
and it finally escapes him altogether. In
is application it denotes that a person
