Fayetteville has had Is excitement.
For some time past one Joseph
Lilies has been running blind
tiger. The citizens held a mass
meeting last Saturday night, at
which a committee was appointed to
notify him that he must leave town
by Wednesday night. He closed
up his drug store on Monday and
last night there was another meeting
of all citizens at the court house.
The sheriff and deputies were present
to prevent violence. A compromise
was effected, whereby the citizens
buy his house and lot and he quits
the town for good. The people of
Fayetteville are desperately in earn
est and determined that blind tigers
shall not hereafter exist in Fayette-
vile, Plenty of shotguns and pis-
tolls were on hand last night, and
there was no installing the earnest
ness of the people, who are dis
posed to be law-abiding, but when
the guilty escape on technicalities
the people are determined that they
shall not go free. Heretofore it has
been difficult to convict blind tiger
men, but their days in Fayetteville
are numbered.

A NEW ARMY RIFLE,

which to arm her troops. the United States

trials of the various magazine-guns which have
been going on at Springfield, Mass, since tho
appointment of the Magazine Gun Board 90
mont hs ago, the merits Of the krag- Jorgensen
gun have been constantly intimated. There
fore, when this Board reported last week and
placed the krag- Jorgensen gun at the head of
the many weapons examined, very little sur
nr;se was manifested. Should the conclusions
of this Board be accepted by higher Army
authority and the War Department. the Krag-
Jorgensen gun is likely to be the weapon of
the future for our service. Bat, as is the case
with several other foreign military inventions
which have been adopted by this Government,
and for which contracts have been given the
gun would have to be manufactured in tho
United States; and the same would be true Of
the smok eless powder used in the gun. but an
American powder sooner or later, is likely to

Another End-of-the-worId Prediction.

Prof Totem, of Yale. says that bis published
system of chronology contains the truth so far
as mere skeleton can, and that since March
90 1892, everything has eonspired to strengthen
his convictions as TO the critical nature of the
crisis now at hand. He claims to have the
chronology cal chart relative TO the two edicts
that led to the restoration Of Jerusalem after
the Babylonian captivity. He says this as
founding discovery sweeps all controversy
aside.
The SO weeks of Daniel began on solar time
1865 days to the year. with the ediet issued to
Ezra in 3443 and extended 433 such years to
1925, the baptism of the Savior. Fourteen
years and half later the second edict issued to
Nehemiah in 35571 A. NJ. to build the walls Of
Jerusalem. This was only 1854 solar years
from 1925 A. NJ, but by measuring on lunar
time $3.50 days to the year, which is exactly
eleven days per year shorter, he arrives at the
same identical date. for 1851 solar years are 1873
lunar years. or SO weeks (69x7).
This ISOLATION, Prof. Totem maintains, is an
absolute guarantee of his figures. He now an
