JOE M'NALLY KILLED.
Shot in a Saloon Al Fort Smith a Few
Days Ago While intoxicated.


The Fort Smith Times gives the follow
ing concerning the killing of Joe McNally
at Fort Smith:
Joe McNally was shot and almost in
stanJiy killed at l:25 Wednesday morning
at the saloon of Doc Rogers at the alley
between Fifth and Sixth streets, by J. S
Ledbetter, a deputy sheriff of Logan
county. The sound OF a pistol shot rang
out at that time and "a Times repor' er,
who was then in the telegraph Office,
rushed over to the place.
Almost in front OF Isaac Cohn's place
| four men were met, one of whom was in
his shirt sleeves. Although they were
questioned several times rs to what was
the trouble, they refused to make any
reply.
Entering the side door of the saloon the
| first sight to meet the eye was Joe Nc
Nally lying on the fiOCT on his back, his
breath coming in gaspS and the death rat
tie in his throat. betokening the fact that
the moments OF life were fast tieeJing.
Standing at the end OF the bar was Mr.
d. II. Bullock and Doc Rogers, the pro-
prietor. For few moments not sylia-
bic of information could be gained. 'He Is
killed, :" said Mr.. Bullock. 1T was cold
biOoded murder" B1ty parties were very
much excited and could say absolutely
nothing. The reporter leaned over the
then diving man aud even to the I'M
prncticed eye il was plain TO be seen that
he WAS breathing his last. His eyes were
half closed and without expression and he
was far beyond consciousness. Ia five
minutes he was dead.
The reporter in the meantime had sum-
mOued DIR. Kelleam and officers by tele-
phone, but by the time they arrived ali
was over.
In u few minutes a crowd of perhaps
thirty people were present and Dr.. KEEL
lean, who had been summoned as ply
stefan was called upon 10 act as coroner"

time was attending to Smiths horse. In

FRANCHISES.

In his speech before the typographical COM
mittee on governmental ownership and con-
troll of the telegraph Judge Mcguire gave an
interesting account Of the way financers ac-
guire wealth from public functions given
them without consideration. A franchise was
granted to the Market street railway OF San
Francisco, presumably for nothing, as no
money dropped into the city Golfers in conse-
quence. This right to run cars seemed suf-
ficiently valuable for the promoters to borrow
ss,OOO,OOo on it as security. 1t took 81, zoo, 900
of this to build and equip the road. Stock
was then issued to the amount of $4,000, 900,
placed on the market and sold at 100, max
ing total of Sc. .5OO, 900 on which the public
must pay enough to yield good dividends.
Deducting the expenses leaves clean profit
of 81, 500 900 given them by the city, not men,
tioning the annual gains contributed by the
passengers.
This is called private enterprise-and so 1t
is-but this gift of public rights for absolutely
no consideration cannot be deemed q profit
able action for the municipality.
II the city had built that road the excess
over actual cost would have been paid into
the treasury and to that extent would have re-
dueed taxation, or fares would have been cut
down to actual operating cost. But the pro-
iaoters of the scheme would be out that s4,-
600 and socialism would be encouraged.

shadowless communion, is surely the sweetest
No shade dims the vision, as the soul looks up to

Life's road is made shorter, glory land seems SO

While in such sweet communion the spirit speaks
so clear:
This lifes too brief for sorrow, Gods work must
not stand still,
But leave all with the Master, according to his
will
To do the Masters bidding, stop not for grief,
but TO pray,
To cheer the broken hearted, to help all on lifes
way;
In prison cells they languish, no saviors love
they feel;
Go tell them that He loves each, and longs their
wounds to heal

May you be mine forever, while ages eternal ROLL

Morphine Fiends on the Increase.

INym Crinkle In the New York World-1
1t has long been known to medical men that
a great many more young women resort to
the use OF morphine as a stimulant than is
generally suspected. The habit has for long
time made havoc among the ranks of the girls
of the theaters, but no one knew until Mrs.
Vanderhoof, president of the Kings County
Christian Temperance Union. announced it
the other day that the class Of young women
known as the shop girls" had taken to it. She
states that In one large New York store the
hypodermic syringe is passed around among
the girls, and nearly every girl in the place is
in the habit of bracing herself by in
jecting the drug into her arm. 1 hope this is
an exaggeration. 1t is hardly credible that
the practice could be carried on to that extent
without attracting attention. In speaking
with physician who has had great deal of
experience with morphine patients he told
me that he did not doubt the story.
$50 strong is the initiative habit on
these girls. he said. ''that they only need the
example placed before them: and morphine
has Strange fascination for q certain female
temperament" Not long ago large girls
seminary was invaded by young woman
with little syringe, and in three months. to
the utter CONSERVATION of the principal, two
thirds Of the girls had supplied themselves
with similar implements. 1t appears to me
that this is a case of absolute girl ignorance.
Surely no healthy young woman with any de-
gree of will-power would voluntarily enter
into this slavery if she clearly understood all
the after-horrors OF it. 1t is a startling sign
of the times nevertheless. when temperance
