A SERIOUS CHARGE.

a colorct boy was arrested yesterday
OF suspicion of being Charley Baker, who
is wanted for attempting to murder his
aged mother, Bette Baker. who lives out
on franklin road, Thursday night. 1t
appears that Charley Baker came home
about o'clock in sullen mood and after
eating his supper sat around grumbling
and muttering lis mother attempted
to get him to bed. but he would not go,
so she retired. Upon her retiring and,
apparently, without any provccation, he
pc1ed up ii revolver that was lying on
the bureau and fired mt her The ball
struck her head nearly on top, glanced
around and came out near her left ear.
AS soon ms he fired the shot he ran out of
the house and ut last reports had not been
captured. The boy arrested yesterday
proved not to he the one wanted. Charley
Baker is light ginger. colored negro be-
tween IL and 10y years Of age and is wanted
here for several other offenses.

RI rs OUTRAGEOUS

Shreveport Journal.
Hon. Jas. K. Jones, the senior
United STATES senator from Ark
ansas, and who is regarded as the
best authority on the tariff, has
been asked to point out the worst
features of the Dlngle, bill; and is
quoted as follows: elm the new
tariff are so many outrages that it
is hard to tell what its worst feat
ures are. Perhaps the wooden
schedule may be considered the
worst. The heavy tax laid on raw
wool, with the compromising taxes
to the manufacturers, will make the
average rate of burden imposed in
the wooden schedule enormously
high. It will practically prohibit
the importation of all classes of
goods that are made IN the United
States. The crockery and glass
schedules are equally obnoxious,
but the bill is filled with gifts to the
trusts and manufacturing monoplies.
AS it came from the house it carried
the highest average of taxation ever
imposed. AS reported to the
Senate from the committee it was
slightly modified and in his opening
speech Mr.. Aldrich SAID that bill
prosposing excessive burdens was
not to be thought of. In the con-
sideration of the measure, however,
the Republicans Systematically
abandoned the Senate amendments
many instance even raised the
rates obove those proposed by the
House."
