CONCEALED WEAPONS.

The press should keep up the fire
all along the line against this evil
and cowardly practice. What the
country needs is a strong and healthy
public sentiment which will frown
upon and punish the person who
carries deadly weapon concealed
upon his person. Not only is the
practice criminal, dangerous and
cowardly, but it is a reflection upon
the laws of the land and the spirit OF
civilization and protection afforded
by government and It's officers. There
is no need for any man in the State
to transform himself into a walking
arsenal. Difficulties may perhaps be
brought about by disagreements and
Misunderstanding, but if such occur
the parties can go at each other in
the old time fashion Of fist and skull.
A few rounds will bring blood from
one Oh both, but will scarcely result
in death. The man who needs a
pistol to defend his integrity or his
honor is coward instinctively. He
is afraid Of physical punishment but
has no qualms Of conscience appar-
emily Of doing murder TO his fellow
man.
The habit can be stopped. It is
the duty Of every good citizen to sec
that the practice is discontinued.
The man who makes practice OF
carrying concealed weapons should
be discountenanced by good and
law abiding citizers. Not only this,
but every citizen should feel it a
solemn obligation to bring to pun
ishnent men who transform them
selves into moving batteries.
The courts, the officers of the law,
the press, the pulpit, every good
citizen should cry reform and 'Down
with the pistol toters !" The prac-
ticv has already gone on too long
The people can stop it, if they will
Greensboro Journal.
The above meets our hearty en-
dorsement. The practice of carry
ing concealed weapons is an evil of
far greater magnitude than is sup
posed. Not only many whites, but
many blacks are "pistol toters." 1t
only takes a little mean whisky to
infame the anger Of these fellows
when Immediately their pistols are
whipped out and they proceed to
perforate the carcass of somebody
who perchanee may offend them.
Let juries and judges suppress this
rernicious practice to the fullest OF
tnelr powers. fgae 4IaH

What is said to be the most power
ful electric light in existence has
recently been put into operation in
a lighthouse at Houstholm, on the
dangerous coast ofJptland. 1t is Of
100000 candle power, mounted on
a tower about 200 teet high, and
can be seen at a distance of thirty
five miles even in rainy weather.
Besides the lights there are two
great sirens, one about $50 yards
aud the other about three miles
from the tower, which are sounded
in foggy weather by electrical con-
uection with the same currents that
supply the light.

DR.. Sam Rambo, after an absence
Of fourteen years in Rio Janeiro,
Brazil, is back on visit to relatives
at Oglethrope. He says the revolu-
ton of government in Brazil will
work wonders for that country.
While at present it is under mill
tary rule, yet this, is only the initia-
tive, in the establishment of a perma-
nent republic. He says the profits
derived from the rosewood and
caoutchouc trees are enormous. The
manner Of capturing the monkey is
a novel one. For instance, if a
Snowman wishes to secure several
live monkeys, he goes into the woods
and first finding the patriarch of the
tribe, shoots him, and the rest of his
descendants, through the ties of
family affection, will Immediately
descend and take hold of him and
not let loose. Then they are easily
captured.

much to justify their belief in the

that serious calamities have befallen

now a strange fate is pursuing Mr..

Dick Halves confessed to his
brother Jim last week that John
Wiley, OF Atlanta, killed Halves
wife and children for 5000. Wiley
is conductor on train and was
arrested and carried to Birmingham
jail, When he confronted Halves,
he denied making any confession
that implicated Wiley. No one be-
lieves that Wiley is guilty, and if
Halves makes such a confession it is
only done to stay his own execution
which will take place on the 28th
inst. In our opinion, Halves and
Fannie Bryant are the murderers
and deserve death. .o l,.1

TIE NEWS CONFIRMED.
The Washington Central VIII Begir

The Washington Central VIII Begin
Monday on a Survey to Waterville.
Mr.. Charles Liftchild, who is now in
this city, in charge of the Douglas
county exhibit at the exposition, was
seen by a REVIEW reporter last evening,
and shown the above information from
Waterville.
"Those statements are correct in
nearly every particular" said he. "And
| can give you piece of information
that will serve to corroborate the declar-
alton that the Great Northern is going to
Waterville. While at Almira last even
ing met Chief Engineer Patterson, of
the Washington Central. who Informed
me that the Washington Central locat-
ing party, in charge of Robert Gayan,
had ceased work upon the Foster creek
and Okanogan route. and would begin
Monday on the work of running q sur
vey into Waterville.
''Somc time ago | saw the statement
that the Washington Central had filed
right of way from Grand coulee to the
Okanogan river, via Foster creek. This
is erroneous. The definite filed location

WASHINGTON CENTRAL SCARED

Westward to Waterville In
the Big Bond.

WAr.RvtLLE, WASH, Sept. 25.-Peopls
here are surprised at doubts expressed
in Spokane Falls and else whore concern
ing the route OF tho Great Northern
railroad. The people here are In the
possession of facts that remove all doubts
upon that score.
Nearly nifty engineers and surveyors
OF chat company are now at work upon
the summit OF the Cascade mountains to
the west of this place. Hero the cbiei
engineer has made his headquarters, and
here he has bought all his supplies.
Naturally enough the story OF his ope-
rations has been closely withheld from
the outside world. The newspaper here
has been asked to withhold all reports
Of the seasons work, and even the gen
eral pu' lie has realized the advisability
OF keeping mum upon the question.
Now, however, the time has arrived
when the facts can be told to tho readers
oi the REVIEW.
During the past summer three parties
OF Great Northern engineers have ex-
plored all of the available passes north
Of the Stampede.
Engineer Sterritt, with five men, ex-
amined the Lake Chelan and Methow
routes
Engineer Haskell and five men exam
mod The Snoqualmle pass and the differ
ent Wehatchee passes, there being at
least six available passes from the head
waters OF that stream.
Engineer Thompson examined the up.
proaches upon the west slope OF the Cas-
cades.
The last work was done by Engineer
Sterritt in exploring the Entiat. This
was done about three weeks ago. All
this work has been under the super
vision of Chief Engineer of Field Work
stevens, who has made Waterville his
headquarters the past summer, where all
the supplies have been purchased.
Upon the completion of this work Mr..
Stevens went to Helena, Mont, and met
Chief Engineer Becker. Upon his ye.
turn to Watorville, about the LIST inst,
MIR. Stevens brought with him large
iorce OF transit men, topographers and
Jewelers.. In addition to these a nu M Der
Of men were engaged at Waserville, max
ing "A little army of forty eight men. This
force wac divided into three parties. one
party taking down the west slope OF the
mountains, and two parties taking down
two different passes into the Wenatche
on the east slope.
1t is the purpose of Chief Engineer
Stevens to complete the survey of the
summit of the range, definitely, before
the first snow, and thereafter at his leis-
ure to work both eastward and westward
down toward the valleys.
AT Wateryille every body is confident
that the Great Northern will
build TO this town, westward
from Spokane, and thereby tap the
heart of the great Big Bend country,
paralleling the Washington Central.
The fact that the entire attention OF
the engineers and surveyors operating in
the Cascade m ountains has at last been
centered on the Wenatchee route, after
repeated endeavors to pierce the mount
aims further to the north, has removed
all doubt in the minds of the people
here regarding the definite intentions OF
the Great Northern.

DUBLIN. Sept. 26.-The streets of Tip
perary were thronged with people at a
late hour last night discussing the excit-

morning was much more tranquil than
yesterday. The streets are still thronged
with people laboring under suppressed
excitement, but there has been no col =
lision with the police. The authorities
are taking special precautions against
the possibility of an outbreak. Detach-
ments OF soldiers are assisting the police
in maintaining order. The session of the
court was Of short duration this morning.
The presiding magistrate announced
that it would be impossible to go on
with the cases, as the judge of the county
court required the building. 1t would
be necessary to adjourn further proceed

When the court reopened in the after
noon Roman proceeded with the state

Roman that his ship was to sail for

When the court adjourned Roman was
still speaking.
Timothy Harrington made strong
protest against the course being pursued
