Hanging Three From Same

CHICAGO ALSO HAS A HANGING.

Lincoln, Neb.. June 16.-(Special)
Because his attorney was day late
in filing motion for a rehearing be.
fore the supreme court, Frank Barker
was hanged here today and the re-
markable feature about the execution
was that the murderer acted as his
own hangman. Barker killed his
brother and his brothers wife and
confessed his crime, stating that he
deserved the punishment which the
law prescribes The law requires
that all legal hangings in Nebraska
shall be at the penitentiary under
the supervision of the warden. AS
Warden Beemer shrank from the
duty of springing the trap. Barker
informed the warden that he would
perform the duty for him. An cleo
trical continuance which controlled
the trap. connected with wire which
ran into Barker.s hands. He was
strapped to his hips, but had free use
of his hands and therefore was able
to push the button that released the
trap.

IF the Pine Bluff North and South
railway has corps of surveyors out
on the proposed route between here
and Monticello. and has completed
the work to a point within eight miles
of this city said Mr.. E. B. Bloom.
when shown a report in a local paper
to that effect. cit is the first informa-
ton I have had about it, and think l
would know something about it if it
were true
Mr.. Bloom is one Of the incorpora-
tors of the new road and is q member
of the board of directors. Continuing.
he said:
"The next meeting of the board of
directors will be held on the 22nd
inst. and it is not likely that work
will commence on the road until after
that meeting. The regular election CT
officers will take place then, and 9TH
er matters OF importance will have
to be attended to-"
It is understood that fual arrange.
ments will be made at the forthcom.
ing meeting CT the board Of directors
for starting the work at once, and
when once started it will be pushed
through to an early completion
The Pine Bluff North and South
was chartered to build read from
Lonoke to this city. and thence south
ward The road will probably pass
through that section of the country
between Star City and Furth. and will
probably not touch at either point.
1t will furnish an easy means Of trans
portation for the great cotton crop
raised in the section it will traverse,
and from all appearances it will be a
paying venture from the start
From what can be learned Of the in
side workings Of the corporation it
does not appear likely that any
changes will be made in the person

Of directors of the organization, at its
next meeting.

Turned Round by the Sun.

A large granite ball, weighing two
tons, in cemetery in Ohio is slowly
turning on its axis, During the last
five years the ball has turned 1874
inches. When the ball was placed in
position an unpublished spot inches
in diameter was left in the socket OF
the pedestal on which it rested. A
year ago it was noticed that the I'M
polished spot was turning upward on
the south side of the monument. The
revolution of the huge polished ball
which it would require a derrick to
lift, is supposed to be due to the suns
heating one side of it, the south, and
causing it to expand, while the north
side, which rests most in the shade
does not expand to the same extent
and thus the ball gradually shifts it,
