the financial condition of the state treasury
of Nebraska shows that ex-State Treasurer
J. S. Barley. Republican, has a deficit
staring him in the face of over s50O000
Coupled with this is little item of s27 900,
which ex-State Auditor Eugene V. Moore.
also Republican, needs to account for in
order to balance his books. Mr.. BARLEY is
unquestionably the victim of a. too lenient
policy in assisting his friends in a financial
way. Mr.. BARLEY deposited large sums of
money in various state banks to help them
through the crisis. Several Of these subse-
quently failed and others We're so closely
pressed that Ii was impossible TO discharge
the obligation BARLEY says that in course
of time every cent will be paid. The short
age in Auditor Moore's accounts has not
so far been explained.

A daring robbery was committed at the residence of Johnie Beck. at an early hour Friday night.

A Shooting at Colt.

A shooting affray, attended with possibly fatal results, occurred at Colt, yesterday about noon. Sam Norvel, a one legged x-Confederate soldier and a good citizen, fired three shots into the back and shoulders of Jessie Nelms, his half brother-in-law Nelm's intimacy with Norvel's r year old daughter led to the shooting. Yester- day morning, at .Norvel's request. physician investigation supported the girls confession of her ruin, and en- Tagged her father to the desperate deed :.
 The tragedy occurred at tine village blacksmith shop. Norvel approached his victim, and despoiler of his domes- tic happiness and made some short re. mark accusing him of his crime, and at once brought his revolver into play. The irate fathers first attempt was to send ball crushing through the brain of Nelms, but in this he failed, the weapon failed to explode; at this Nelms fled but not swift enough to escape the three shots which will possibly land him in his grave. The placing of the bullets shows to what accuracy was the aim of the man with broken heart.
 Two of the shots took effect clos, to- gether on each side of the back bone, the other in the shoulder.
 The wounded man was attended by Dr. Rush and at o'clock this mer1l- ing was still alive, but with little hopes of recovery.
 Nelms is about 26 years of age, mar ried and has three children. He is un- der indictment, and out on bond. for violating the age of consent lawfupon a young woman, who is also related to him, the crime being committed some time last year. e
 After the shooting MT Noryel came to town and surrendered himself to the sheriff, and in company with the sheriff returned to the scene Of the tragedy.
 In this case will the beauties of the unwritten law sparkle as a star in the Armament of virtue. honor, and sacred ness of the family circle.

Gives up the Bridge.

An important railroad change took place July l. From that time all pas seneer trains of the Little Rock. & Memphis railroad will arrive and de- parted from the passenger depot of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, in North MaiE street, Memphis. Hereto fore these trains have made use of the depot at Main and Broadway, the same that is the passenger station of the two Kansas City lines and the Nash vile, Chattanooga & St. Louis.
 This change on the part of the Little Rock x Memphis is the result of deal consumated last week. With tie change the Little Rock & Memphis ceases to use the big bridge across the Mississippi, and in future the trains will cross the river on the transfer steamer Gen. Pierson.
 The same line announces also an i'm portant change in schedule of passen- ger train No. l. Train No. l, hereto fore leaving Memphis at S:35 a. m, will leave at , D. m., placing passengers in Little Rock ty 10:55 o'clock. Re- turning this train arrives at Memphis at 7:45 p. m. The TAO p. m., train has been abandoned.
 By this change the train from Mem. Dhis arrlves here at 7:lS D. m, and re. mains twenty minutes for supper The train east arrives at 5:25 p. m.. all other passenger trains have been aban- dOned.
 No reason has been given for the abandonment of the bridge, but the supposition is that it was done in the interest of its patrons-the charge of ninety cents to cross the bridge being an extortion on the public. The fare from Forrest City to Memphis has been changed materially, it now being only Sl 55 instead of B 8.

DIED.

Little Mary Bisco. infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Prewett, died at their home ill Forrest City on the 2Sth day of June. 1897, at 6 o'clock. D. m., at the age of five months and one day, after short illness.
 Little Mary had. for some time, had some trouble to adapt her food 10 her system, but it was not thought that she was danrerously ill until only two or three days before the eventual hour came. The patient father and mother had watched over her very constantly and faithfully for two months, but were not expecting such amend. Truly this stricken father and mother may say of their little babe:
 Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep
 From which none ever wgke to weep" !" and live in the blessed hope of meeting her again when the Savior comes to make up his jewels for his kingdom. May God bless this grief stricken home and comfort them with his own blessed presence is the prayer of

The journal was discussing an amendment to the senate bill to have refined sugars pay tha same duties as raw sugars in cases where the manufac- ture is controlled by monopoly. Ifthis visionary proposal" should pass the senate, it will jeopardize the tariff bill and the sugar trusts tens of nin- lions of surplus profits, which are 50 near at hand that the mouths of Have meyer and Searles ars watering for them.
