Charles A. Campbell.

Death comes to the young and to the
Old. With the old his coming is antic-
ipated, and when they are gathered in
like ripe shock of grain in it's season
tae sorrow is mingled with joy, for all
realize that their course is run. But
when death comes to a man in the
prime of life, who is realizing the Joy
of living. and when he invades a home
and gathers in the only son and broth
er and does this so suddenly it
is that the mind and heart stagger un-
der the blow, and we need to realize
more deeply that we are in a loving
Fathers hands, that our faith fail not.
Thus was Charlie Campbell taken.
The circumstances of his death were
peculiarly painful. He was the son of
w. c. Campbell, was born near Nettle-
ton. where he spent most of his life
until ten years ago, he went to Paris,
Texas, to accept a position as fireman
on the Frisco K. r., which position he
filled most faithfully until the afternoon
OF April 28th when he was taken vio-
leatly i'll and died As hours later at TT.
Smith, Ark.
No words can tell the sorrow that
filled the hearts of that father and
three loving sisters when a telegram
was received stating: Charlie is dead"
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. R. w. Mecklin, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, who comforted
all by his message from Gods word,
and the body teuderly laid to rest in
Providence cemetery by five members
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men who accompanied the remains
from Ft. Smith to their last resting
place

Bold Robbery Mon
day Night.
TuDelo Mercantile COmDaLy's
Building Entered by Thief or
Thieves and Several Hun.
dred Dollars taken.

The store Of the Tupelo Mer-
camille Go. was entered Monday
night through a broken window
pane on the west side by one or
more parties and several hun
dred dollars worth of merchan-
disc taken. 1t is evident that
the parties had made an inspec-
ton of the store previously and
were judges of goods as only the
best grades were taken. Match
es were struck in different pla.
ces and left on the floor. When
the discovery was made that the
store had been robbed ar inves-
tigation was made and it was
found that quite a number
of Stetson hats, fine umbrel-
las and several good suits of
clothes were missing. Sheriff
Tate at New Albany was tele
graphed to and his bloodhounds
were sent over on the II o'clock
Frisco train. The dogs were
carried to the place of entry and
very soon found a scent that
they followed out Main street
and the Pontotoc road to Matt
Crump's, a negroes house. Matt
was away but was found and
placed under arrest. He siren
uously denied that he was the
guilty party or that he knew
anything about it. He was
brought to town and placed in
the calaboose. Search was con.
tinued and a lot of little boys
fishing on Kings Creek beyond
Lee Joyner's residence found a
valise with a vest and shirt in it.
This was reported and further
search was made and another va
lise with % Stetson hats and
package of fine umbrellas were
found near Mr.. Joyner's pool.
The dogs were unable to take up
the trail from this point.
From the surroundings several
parties had been there the night
of the robbery as there were evi-
dences that they had built up
fire and had partaken of meal
of canned goods, which it is pre-
sumed they had gotten from the
Mercantile. The package of
umbrellas had been carefully
wrapped in jute and sewed up
securely. The handle of each
umbrella had also been wrapped
in cloth taken from the store.
In the valise was one of the suits
which was missed from the front
show window. The amount of
the goods recovered was in the
neighboehood of SITS.
After investigating Matt
Crump's case it was decieed that
there was no positive evidence to
connect him with the theft and
he was discharged.

REPUBLICANS NOMINATE HIN
FOR SPEAKER OF NEW YORK
STATE ASSEMBLY.
VICTORY FOR HIGGINS FORCE$
FORMER GOVERNOR oDELL's CAN
DIDATE RECEIVED ONLY
FOURTEEN VOTES.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 3.-James W
Wadsworth, Jr., of Livingston county
son Of Congressman James w. Wads
worth of the Thirty-fourth congress
sional district, and son-in-law of the
late John Hay, secretary of state, was
nominated at night by the Republican
assembly caucus for speaker of the as
sembly. and will be elected to that of
fee when the assembly convenes dur
ing the day. His Democratic op
ponent will be George M. Palmer Of
Schoharie, who for many years has
been minority leader on the assembly
floor.
Mr.. Wadsworth had Is out of TO-
votes cast in the caucus, Edwin A
Merritt, Jr., of st. Lawrence receiving
fourteen and j. NJ Wainwright o
Westchester, fifteen. The entire
strength of the Republican side in the
new assembly, LOT in all, was. present
but none of the three candidates
voted. Mr.. Wadsworth's nomination
later was made unanimous.
The vote was taken by open roll call
and there was no attempt to secure {
secret ballot, as had been expected.
This result brings to close one Of
the most remarkable speakershir
campaigns of recent years, character
ICED by marked fractional bitterness
and some unusual features Mr.
Wadsworth was not among the candi
dates originally in the field, but was
proposed by Governor Higgins in &
formal statement, and in addition Il
the support of the governor and his
friends, was regarded as having the
approval of President Roosevelt.
Mr.. Merritt had the backing of State
Chairman B. B. Odell, Jr., and his
friends in the state organization, whc
fought with determination for his cleo
ton, or, failing that, for the defeat O.
Mr.. Wadsworth.
Mr.. Wainwright stood openly in op
position to what he charged was i'm
proper influence of the executive in {
purely legislative matter. He had the
support of number of the New Yorl
city members, especially those Repub
licans who were also on the municipa
ownership ticket.

FOUR PERSONS DEAD
MICHIGAN FARMER KILLS THREE
MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY
AND HIMSELF.

Rochester, Mich, Jan. 3.-Alarmed
by the deserted appearance of the
farmhouse of Clarence A. Barnum, who
recently located near here, neighbors
broke into the house during the day
and found Barnum, his wife, his daugh-
ter, Louise, aged twenty-three, and his
son Chester, aged sixteen, all lying
dead. The wife and the son and
daughter had apparently been MUIR
dered with an axe A single-barreled
shotgun lying near his corpse and the
fact that his head was almost entirely
blown off showed how Farmer Barnum
himself had met his end.
The appearance of the house indi.
Gated that the family had just finished
breakfast when the insane and MUIR
derous frenzy of the father broke out.
Evidently there had been terrible
struggle, as the mother and children
battled for their lives. The dining
room was all despatched with blood,
even the ceiling. Under the dining
room table lay the fathers body, a
gun across his knee. Apparently he
had taken the muzzle into his mouth
before pulling the trigger.
There was blood on the handle of
the axe, but the blade had been
washed. In the diningroom, where
the body of the father was found. lay
also that of the daughter The sons
corpse was in the kitchen. 1t is
thought that the boy was the first at
tackled, that the mother was pursued
to and killed in the woodshed next and
that the father turned last to the
daughter imprisoned in the dining
room, where the disturbance had ap-
parently begun. The wife and son and
daughter all had their heads terribly
cut and crushed with the axe.
Barnum sold a farm near Homer.
Mich, only few months ago and To-
Gated here late in the season. 1t is
said that the harvest in his new home
did not meet his expectations and that
he had become respondent.

HIS OWN LIFE.
SHOOTS TWO OTHER PEOPLE
MOTHER AND SISTER OF MUIR
pERED GIRL ARE SERIOUS.
~ WOUNDED.

Caledonia, Mimi, Jan. 3.-Because
he was Catholic and his sweetheart

white man first settled here. Laying
his plans to fit the time when all the
male members Of the family were
away and only women to oppose him,
Styer shot one after another and then
killed himself.
The defense of the women was
heroic and while fear froze their
blood. they defended themselves from
his attack with the greatest bravery.
Unable to secure entrance through
the door Styer broke through win.
dow. When he entered he was met
by Rose Wheaton, who was armed
with revolver and attempting to
protect the remainder of the family.
Styer wrested the revolver from her
and shot her twice He then turned
on Mrs. Wheaton, shooting her twice
also, and bounded up the steps to the

DEFALcATIoNs OF DoUoHERT>
VIII Probably Fall Little Short of One
Million Dollars


Peoria, ILL.,, Jan. 3.-The report OF
the Everett Audit company on the de-
falcations of N. c. Dougherty was
made public at meeting of the school
board at night. The total shortage
for seven years is S541 ,408.50. from
which will be deducted approximately
$4,000 for unauthorized but warrant
ed expenditures. Everett gave it as
his opinion that the total shortage for
eighteen years would fall slightly
short of $1,000,000, stating that large
amounts of forged script had been
found in 1887 and 1889, but no totals
or estimates on these years had yet
been made.
The report censures the officers of
the board, the treasurers and presi-
dent especially, the finance and audit.
ing committees and the members of
the board individually. Everett de-
clares that If the board or any of its
officers had used even ordinary dill
gence in the performance of their duty
the mulcting of the fund would have
been impossible and that the mem
bers of the board are individually
liable for all shortage which cannot
be collected from Dougherty and the
Peoria National bank
The report shows that $4,000 of
the shortage was directly manipulated
by the cashing of fictitious script
through the Peoria National bank, of
which N. c. Dougherty was president.
1t declares that the bank is liable for
every cent of this amount, and the
board on the strength of the report
elected Judge David McCulloch to act
as attorney in recovering from the
bank.
