KILLED BY THE BOSS.

Fort Smith, May 3.-This morning $. Burnett, manager of the Harris Lumber Company, shot and killed a young man named \. T. Smith, employed as a mill hand and log roller. Burnett and Smith did not get along very we'll togeth- CT, and 1t is said they frequently indulged in wars of words. This morning Smith was passing Bur nett on a load of logs on what is known as Oliver Prairie, near Waldron, thirty miles from here, when Burnett shot at him three times with rife, inficting wounds from which Smith died in a short time. Smith was unarmed. Bur nett gave himself up.

The editor of The Journal was relieved of about $50 in the Feder- al court at Batesyille Monday for the hienous crime of publishing and sending through the mails an alleged advertisement of lottery scheme. Other papers all over the country that published the same advertisement have escaped pun ishment; in fact, no one seems to care what others do so long as The Journal behaves itself. But, no matter what others do, The Jour- mai must be good-or go to jail. Our bretheren of the press who have, like The Journal, been run ming these alleged lottery adyer- tisements, wholly ignorant of the fact that 1t was a violation of the law, and with absolute no inten- tion of violating the law, should take notice of our misfortune in this case and profit thereby.

The Pocahontas Star discourses fuently upon the excellences of it's patent inside" " but a careful examination of the patent pages fails to reveal, to us. anything worth boasting of. Not a single one of the supposed news articles on the patent pages were less than eight days old when the Star was published, and many of them eley- en days old. The publisher who palms of such stale stuff as that on his readers as news, and then brags on it, ought to be shot in the face with a wet dish-rag.
