JEALOUS OF JOBSON. A Terrible Tragedy at Leavenworth. Kan*. the Outcome of Jealou .y —Jftobej^t Hro&ddns Mortally Wounds c. A. Jobson in Preeence of the Lady in the Case, and Then Ends Ula Own Life. Leavenworth, Kas., May 31.—Another shooting affray, which has all the elements ol the sensational about it, took place last evening at the corner of Filth and Shawnee street^ just as the bells were announcing the hour of six o’clock. The parties directly interested are Robert Broaddus, a prominent young cattleman; C. A. Jobson, an architect, and Miss Wood, a haudsomc, accomplished and highly respected young lady, a teacher in the Seveutk Street High School The shooting was the result of rivalry between the two young men as to who would win the affectious of the young lady. Broaddus’ brother, until about three months ago, was engaged iu business at Miltonvale, a small town west of here, and Bob was with him. His parents and three brothers reside here, and while in business at the above named place he was a frequent visitor to this city. He seemed to be the favored one in Miss Wood’s estimation and their engagement was announced. Shortly after this announcement Broaddus failed in business and was reported as having lost his last dollar. He then returned to Leavenworth to reside and in a short time a coolness sprang up between the heretofore seemingly happy couple, and it was claimed by the friends of Miss Woods that it was owing to the jealousy of Broaddus, while -the latter’s friends say that she jilted him because of the loss of his money. Whichever it may have been will never, probably, be known. About this time young Jobson made the acquaintance of Miss Wood, and from all appearances her affections were transferred to him. Jobson has lived here but a short time, coming direct from Kugland, and is a member of the firm of Jameson & Jobson, architects. As far as known he was a person of good habits, but, it is claimed, he on several occasions made slighting remarks concerning Broaddus, and has done many things to annoy him. Jobson and Miss Wood boarded at the same house, and, as the former’s office was near the rooms occupied by the latter’s family, he escorted her to and from her meals, and it was while escorting her last evening that the deed was done. Broaddus was passing np Shawnee street on horseback, and reached the corner of Fifth street just as Jobson and Miss Wood started to cross. Bystanders say not a word was spoken by either party, and that Broaddus pulled his pistol and commenced to shoot. He fired twice while on horseback and Jobson ran into Uinmethan’s drug store. Broaddus then jumped off his horse, followed Jobson into the store and fired three more shots at him. This emptied Broaddus’ pistol. Jobson had fallen to the floor, but managed to crawl under the counter. Broaddus drew another revolver and, walling back through the store, stepped upon the sidewalk aud told the crowd to staud back, aud, jumping upon his horse, rode off. It is stated that he rode to the homestead of the family, which is about five miles from the city, and is cared lor by a hired man, the family living in the city. He did not find any one in the house, but effected an entrance, and going into the dining-room put the pistol to his head and blew his brains out. His brother was notified of the^fact and the coroner left for that point. Four of the five shots fired by Broaddus took effect. Two struck Jobson in tiie back, near the right shoulder. Of the three fired in the drug store one hit him in the stomach and the other in the right breast. Jobson was taken to his room, where medical aid was summoned, and the physicians report that he can not live, although at ten o’clock he was still alive, but suffering much pain. He was unarmed. Ttiejihooting has caused the wildest cxciteitWht.

Your correspoudeut has returned from the Broaddus homestead, five miles northwest of the city, where young Broaddus went alter shooting Jobson. From the manager of the farm, Mr. Hemphill, it is learned that Broaddus rode up, his horse covered with foam, and going np to Mrs. Hemphill, said “that he had come back to the place he was bora to die.” He took his pocket-book out, and, handing it to her, said: “That ts for Emma,” referring t > his sister.t Taking off his watch he also handed that to her, saying: “Give it to brother Andy.” He then said: “The balance of my property I want mother to have.” Alts. Hemphill tried to talk him out of his despondency, and he said, “I will go out and try and walk it off.” He then passed out of the room, and, going onto the porch, pulled out a revolver and fired one shot, which took effect in his left breast, passing through the heart, lie made no reference during the conversation 'o having shot Jobson, nor did he speak after shooting himself. His brother, William, says that his brother told him on Friday that the estrangement which- occurred between himself and Miss Wood ruined him, and that he had no desire to live, but said nothingabont Jobson having supplanted him in her affections. The body was brought to the city, and the funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon. All efforts to see Miss Wood have proved futile, and all are denied admission to the house and none of the family will talk concerning the matter. ■ ' How They Feel th Canada.

NARCOTICS. The Opium Habit, Hasheesh, the Pipe and the Chew. A Sermon by Rcr. Dr. Talmage on the Deleterious and Deplorable Effects of the Indulgence In Tobacco and Kindred Vices. The subject of a recent sermon by Rev. T. De Witt Talmage was: “Does the use of tobacco cause cancerous and other troubles?”. The text was from Genesis i., 11: “Let the earth bring forth grass and herb-yielding seed.” Dr. Talmage said: The first born of earth were the grassblade and the herb. They preceded the brute creation and the human family—the grass for animal life, the herb for human service. The cattle took possession of its inheritance, the grass blade, and man took possession of his inheritance, the herb. This herb we have for food in case of hunger, for narcotic in case of insomnia, for 'anodyne under paroxysm of pain, or .for stimulus when the pulses flag under the weight of disease. The caterer takes the herb and serves it up in all delicacies. The physician takes the herb and compounds it for physical recuperation. Millions of the human race take it for ruinous delectation of body and mind. The herb, divinely created and for good purposes, in cases without number is prostituted for evil results. There is a lawful and unlawful use of the herbaceous kingdom. There sprang up in Yucatan on this continent a herb which has bewitched the world. It crossed the Atlantic Ocean in the fifteenth century and captured Spain. Then it captured Portugal, and then the French ambassadors took it to Paris and it captured the French Empire. Then Walter Raleigh introduced it into England. The botanists ascribe it to the genus nicotians; but you all know it as the inspiring, the'elevating the imparadising, the radiating, the nerve-shattering, the dyspepsiabreeding, and the health-destroying tobacco. I shall not be offensively personal while I speak on this subject, because you all use it, or nearly all. Indeed, I know from personal experience how it soothes and roseates the world and kindles social^ ity and I know what are its baleful results. 1 know what it is to be its slave, and, thank God, I know what it is to be jits conqueror. I have no expectation thiit I Will persuade the great masses of you to change your habits upon this subject, but I thought I might help you in some advice to your children. A POISON. You say: “Didn’t God make tobacco?” Oh, yes. Yon say: “Isn’t God good?” Oh, yes. You say: “Then God, when He created tobacco, must have created it for some good purpose.” Oh, yes; itj is good for a great many things—tobacco is. It is good to kill moths in the wardrobe and tick in sheep, and to strangulate all kinds of vermin, and to fumigate pestiferous places, and, like all other poisons, God created it for some particular use. So He did henbane, so nux vomica, so copperas, so belladonna, so all those poisons which He directly created or had man extract. But the same God who made the poisons also created us with common sense to know how to use them and how not to use them. “Oh,” say some of my friends, “don’t people use it without seeming harm to themselves, and are there not cases of plethora which absolutely need this depletion?” Oh, yes. Skillful and prudent physicians have sometimes prescribed it, just as they sometimes prescribe arsenic, and they prescribe it well. There can be no doubt about its being poisonous. There was a case reported in which a little child lay upon its mother’s lap and a drop from her pipe fell on the child’s lip, and it went into convulsions and into death. “But,” you say, “don’t people live on to old age who indulge in this habit?” Yes; so I have seen an inebriate seventy years old. There are some persons who in spite of all the outrages to their physical .system live

on to old age. In the case of the man of the jug he lasted so long because he was pickled. In the case of the man of the pipe he lasted so long because he was turned into smoked liver. But, my friends, what advice had we better give to our young people? I say in the first place, let us advise them to abstain from this habit, because all the medical fraternity of the United States and Great Britain pronounce it the cause of wide-spread and terrific unhealth. Dr. Agnew, Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Olcott, Dr. Baines, ,Dr. “Woodward, Dr. Rush, Dr. Hosack, Dr. Harvey, Dr. Mott—all the medical fraternity, allopathic, homeopathic, hydropathic, eclectic—denounce the habit, and warn the community against it. One distinguished physician says: “This habit is the cause of seventy different styles of disease. This habit is the cause of nearly all the cases of cancer of the mouth.” What is the testimony of the late Dr. John C. Warren, of Boston, than whom there is no higher authority? He sayS: “For more than thirty years I have been in the habit of inquiring of patients who came to me with cancer of the tongue and lips whether they used tobacco; if so, whether they chewed or smoked, and if they have sometimes' answered in the negative as to the first question I can truly say that to the best of my knowledge and belief such cases are exceptions to the general rule. When, as is usually the case, one side of the tongue is affected with ulcerated cancer, it arises from the habitual retention of the tobacco in contact with this part.” Their united testimony is that it depresses the vitals of the system and brings on nervousness and dyspepsia and takes off twenty-five per cent, of the physical vigor of the people of this country, and damaging this generation damages the next, the accumulated curse going onto capture other centuries. It injures the mind. Another eminent physician, for a long time Superintendent of the insane asylum at Northampton, Mass., says: “Fully half of the patients who have come to our asylum for treatment are the victims of tolracco.” It is a\ bad thing, my brother, to damage the body; it is a worse thing to damage the mind, and any man of common sense knows that the nervous system immediately acts upohlhe brain. More than that. Nearly all reformers will tell you that it tends to drunkenness. It creates unnatural thirst. There are those who use this narcotic who do not drink, but nearly all who drink use the narcotic, so that shows there is an immediate affinity between the two drugs. It was long ago demonstrated that a man can not permanently reform from strong drink unless he gives up tobacco. In nearly all the cases where men having been reformed have fallen back it has been shown they have first touched tobacco and then surrendered to intoxicants. The broad avenue leading down to the drunkard's grave and the drunkard’s hell is strewn thick with tobacco leaves. What did Benjamin Franklin say; “I never saw a well man, in the exercise of common sense, who would say that tobacco djd him any good." What did Thomas Jefferson say when arguing against the culture of tobacco? He said: “It is a culture productive of infinite wretchedness. ” Horace Greeley said of it: “It is a profane stench." Daniel Webster said: “If those men mast smoke, let them take the horse-shed.’> .

One reason why there are so many Tie* tims of this habit is because there are so many ministers of religion who smoke and chew. They smoke until they get the bronchitis, and the dear people hare to pay their expenses to Europe. They smoke until the nervous system breaks down. They smoke themselves to death. I could name three eminent clergymen who died of cancer in the mouth, and in every case the physician said it wss tobacco. There has been many a clergyman whose tombstone was all covered up with the eulogy, which ought to have had the honest epitaph: “Kilied by too much Cavendish.” Some of them smoke until the room is blue, and their spirits are blue, and the world is. blue, and every thing is blue., Time was when God passed by such sins; but it becomes now the duty of the American? clergy who indulge in |his narcotic to repent. How can a man preach temperance to the people when he is himself indulging In an appetite like that? I have seen a cuspidor in a pulpit where a minister should drop his cud before he gets up to read: “Blessed are the pure in'heart,” and to read about “rolling sin as a sweet morisel under the tougue,” and • in Leviticus to read abont the unclean animals that chew the cud. I have known Presbyteries and General Assemblies and General Synods where there was a room set apart for the ministers to smoke in. Oh, it is a sorry spectacle, a consecrated man, a holy man of God, looking around for something which you take to be looking for a larger field of usefulness. He is not looking for that at all. He is only looking for some place where he can discharge a mouthful of tobacco juice! I am glad the Methodist Church of the United States in nearly all their Conferences have passed resolutions against this habit, and it is time we had an anti-tobacco reform in the Presbyterian Church, and the Episcopal Church, and the Baptist Church, and the Congregational Church. NARCOTICS. There are ministers of religion to-day indulging in narcotics, dying by inches, and they do not know what is the matter with them. I might in a word give my own experience. It took ten cigars to make a sermon. I got very nervous. One day I awakened to the outrage I was inflicting upon myself. 1 was about to change settlements, and a generous wholesale tobacconist in Philadelphia said if I would only come to Philadelphia he would all the rest of my life provide me with cigars free of charge. I said to my sen: If in these war times, when cigars are so costly and my salary so small, I smoke more than I ought to, what would I do if I had gratuitous and illimitable supply? Aud then and there, twenty-four years ago, I quit once and forever. It made a new man of me, and though I have since then done as much hard word as any one I think I have had the best health God ever blessed a man with. A minister of religion $an not afford to smoke. Put into my hand the money wasted in tobacco in Brooklyn, and I will support three orphan asylums as grand and beautiful as those already established. Pat into my hand the money wasted in tobacco in the United States of America, and I will clothe, feed and shelter ail the suffering poor on this continent. The American Church gives $1,000,000 a year for the evangelization of the heathen, and American Christians spend $5,000,000 in tobacco. • AN ANALYSIS. Now, I stand "Siis morning not only in the presence of my God, to whom I must give an acconnt for what I say to-day, but I stand in the presence of a great multitudeiof young men who are forming their habits. Between seventeen and twentythree there are tens of thonsands of young men damaging themselves irretrievably by tobacco. You either use very good tobacco or cheap tobacco. If you use cheap tobacco, I want-to tell you why it is cheap. It is a ^mixture of burdock, lamp-bi^ck, sawdust, colt’s-foot, plantaiu leaves, tul-ler’s-earth, iime, salt, alum and a little tobacco. You can not afford, my young

brother, to take sued a mess as that between your lips. If, on the other hand, you use costly tobacco, let me say I do not think yon can afford it. You take that which you expend and will expend if you keep the habit all your life and put it aside, and it will buy you a farm to make you comfortable in the afternoon of life. A merchant of New York gave this testimony : “In early life I smoked six cigars a day at six and a half cents each—they averaged that. I thought to myself one day: ‘I’ll just put aside all the money I am consuming in cigars, and all I would consume if I kept on in the habit, and I will see what it will come to by compound interest.’ ” And he gives this tremendous sta-, tistic: “ Last July completed thirty-nine years since, by the grace of God, I was emancipated from the filthy habit, and the saving amounted to the enormous sum of $29,102.03 by compound interest. We lived in the city, but the children; who had learned something of the enjoyment of country life from their annual visits to their' grandparents, longed for a home among the green fields. I found a very pleasant place in the country for sale. The cigar-money now came into requisition, and found it amounted to a sufficient sum to purchase the place, and it is mine. Now, boys, you take your choice, smoking without a home, or a home without smoking.” OTHER DANGERS. Listen to that, young man, and take another thing into consideration, and that is, vast amounts of property are destroyed every year indirectly by this habit. An agent of an insurance company says; “One-half our losses come from the spark of the pipe and the cigar.” One young man threw away his cigar in one of the cities, and with it he threw away $3,000,000 worth of property of others that blazed up from that spark. But I am speaking of higher values today. Better destroy a whole city of stores than destroy one man. O, my young friedds, if you will excuse the idiom, I will say stop before you begin. Here is a serfdom which has a shackle that it is almost impossible to break. Gigantic intellects that could overcome every other bad habit have been flung of this and kept down. Borne one was seeking to persuade a man from the habit. The reply was; “Ask me to do any thing under the canopy of Heaven but this. This I can not give up and won’t give np, though it takes seven years of nay life.” I must have a word also with all those of my friends whom it does not hurt, who Can stop any time they want to, and who Can smoke most expensive cigars. My Christian brother,what is your influence in the matter? How mnch can you deny yourself for the good of others? It was a great mystery to many people why Governor Briggs, of Massachusetts, wore a cravat but no collar. Borne people thought it was an absurd eccentricity. Ah, no! This was the secret; Many years before he was talking with an inebriate and telling him that his habit was unnecessary, and the inebriate retorted upon him andteakl: “ We do a great many things that are not necessary. It is not necessary for you to wear that collar.” “Well,” said Governor Briggs, “ I will never wear a collar again if you won’t drink.” “Agreed,” said the inebriate. Governor Briggs never wore a collar. They both kept their bargain for twenty years. They kept it to

the death. That ft the reason Governor Briggs did not wear a collar. That is the Gospel of the Son of God. Self-denial for the good and the rescue of others. HASHEESH. I take a step further. In all ages the world has sought some flower or herb or weed to stimulate its lethargy or to compose its grief. A drug called nepenthe was widely used among the ancient Greeks and the ancient Egyptians for narcotic purposes. The Theban women knew how to compound it. You had but to chew the leaves and your sadness was whelmed with hilarity. But nepenthe passed ou> from the consideration of the world. Next came hasheesh, which is made' from Indian hemp. It is manufactured from the flowers at the top, or workmen in leather clothing walk through the fields of hemp and the exudation from the hemp adhered to the leathern garments, and then this exudation is scraped off and prepared with aromatics and becomes an intoxicant for the people. Whole nations have been stimulated, narcotized anti made imbecile with this accursed hasheesh. The visions kindled by that drug are said to be gorgeous and magnificent beyond all description, but it finally takes down body, mind and soul in horrible death. I knew one of the most brilliant "men of his day. Whether he appeared in magazine or in book or in newspaper column, he was an enchantment. He could, in the course of an hour’s conversation, produce more wit and strange information than any man I ever talked with; but he chewed hasheesh. He did so first as a matter of curios.ty to see whether the powers ascribed to it really belonged to it. He put his hand into the cockatrice’s nest to see whether it would bite, and he found out to his complete undoing. His father, who was a minister of the Gospel, prayed for him and counseled him and obtained for him the best medical prescriptions of the best physicians in New York, Philadelphia, Paris, London, Edinburgh and Berlin. He said he could not stop. A large circle of friends put their wits together to try to rescue him, but he went on down. First his body gave way in pangs of convulsions of suffering; then his mind gave way and he became a raving maniac; then his immortal soul went, blaspheming God, into a starless eternity. He was only about thirty years of age. Behold theravages of the Persian and Egytian weed called hasheesh. THE OPIUM HABIT. -Opium demands emphatic recognition. It is made, as you know, from the white poppy. It is not a new discovery? We read of it three huhdred years before Christ; but' it was not until the seventeenth century that it began its death march, passing put from the medicinal and the curative, and by smoking and * mastication becoming the scourge of nations. In the year 1861 there were imported into this country 107,000 pounds oi opium; but in 1880, 533,000 pounds of opium. It is estimated that in the year 1876 there were in this country 225,000 opium consumers; but I saw a statistic more recent that said there are probably now in the United States at least 600,000 opium consumers. The fact is appalling. Do not think that they are merely barbaric fanatics who go down under that stroke. Read the great De Quincy’s “Confessions of an Opium Eater.” He says for the first ten years it gave him the keys of paradise; but it takes his own powerful pen to describe the horrors consequent. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, after ’ conquering the world by his pen, was conquered by opium. The most magnetic and brilliant lawyer of this century fell a victim to its stroke, and there are thousands of men and women—but more women than meu—who are being bound, body, mind and soul, to this terrific habit. There is a great mystery about some ■ families. You do not know why they do not get on. The opium habit is so stealthy, so deceitful and so deathful. You can cure a hundred drunkards easier than you can cure one opium-eater. I have heard of

cases of reformation, bat I never saw any. I hope there are cases of genuine reformation. I hare seen men who for forty years had been the victims of strong drink thoroughly reformed; but the opium-eaters that I have seen go on and go down. Their cry in the last hour of life is not for God, nor for prayer, nor for the Bible, but for opium. Perhaps there are only two persons outside the household who know what is the matter with them—the physician and the pastor; the physican called iu for physical relief, the pastor called in for spiritual relief; but they both fail. The physician acknowledges his defeat. The minister of religion acknowledges his defeat, for it. seems as if the fiord does not answer prayer for opium-eaters. O, man! ■ O, woman' Are you tampering with this habit? Have you just begun? Are you for the assuagement of physical distresses or mental trouble making this a regular resource? I beg you stop. The ecstasies at the start will not pay for the horrors at the last The paradise is followed too soon by the pandemonium. Morphia is a blessing from God for the relief of sudden pang or acute dementia, but was never intended for prolonged use; and, what is the peculiar sadness of it, it comes to people in their weak moments. De Quincey says! “I took it for rheumatism.” Coleridge says: “I took it for insomnia, or sleeplessness.” What do you take it for? For God’s sake, do not take it too long. In some families chloral is! taking the place of opium. Physicians first prescribe it for sleeplessness. Then the patient keeps on because he likes the effect. Whole tons of chloral are manufactured in Germany. Baron Liebig says that he knows one chemist in Germany who manufactures a half ton of chloral every week. There are multitudes being taken down by this habit Lookout for hydrate of chloral! But I am under this head speaking chiefly of opium. There onght to be ten thousand pulpits turned into quaking, flaming, thundering Sinais of warning against this narcotic. The devil of morphia in this country will be mightier than the devil of alcohol. RIPLZCTIONS. My friends, it is all important that by personal example in every possible way we contend against all influences injurious to society. Our opportunity for exercising such influence is limited. What we dp yre had better do right away. The clock ticks * now, and we hear it After awhile the clock will tick and we shall not hear it. Seated by a country fireside, I saw the fire kindle, blase and go out I gathered up from the hearth enough for profitable reflections. Our life is just like the fire on that hearth. We put on fresh fagots and the fin bursts through and up and out, gay of flash, gay of crackle—emblem of boyhood. Then the fire reddens into coals. The heat is fiercer, and the more it is stirred the more it reddens. With the sweep of flame it cleaves its way, until all the hearth glows with the intensity—emblem of full manhood. Then comes a whiteness to the coals. The heat lessens. The flickering shadows have died along the wall. The fagots drop apart. The household hover over the expiring embers. The last breath of smoke has been lost in the chimney. Fire is out. Shovel up the white remains. Ashes! CiRDXn-num—The girl who shakes our ashes.—St. Paul Herald.
