Abe increased a hundred
fferent Kinds of RAILROAD"
People.

Before the States instructed their
delegates To the Democratic Ma
tional Presidential convention in
1850 the question in the party was
the advisability of again nominal
ing Samuel j. Tilden. The argu-
ments for and against Tilden be-
came very heated. Gen. VIM. Pres
ton in a public utterance took oc-
casion to say: I'm Tilden man,
but I'm not damned fool Tilden
mani Tie said much in those few
words, and they could we'll be APP
piled by over enthusiastic advocates
of railroads to themselves.
In the early Fifties the majority
of the people of Bath county were
railroad" men. But the sequel
proved that they were fool rail.
road men. They voted bond issue
of $3.50, 900 in aid of the building
of the Lexington and Big Sandy
railroad. They gave up the bonds.
The road was never built. The
bonds turned up severa! years af-
forwards in the possession of Amy
a Co., of New York, who demanded
their payment. The county re-
fused. Amy l. Co. brought suit
and gained Judgment on the ground
of being innocent purchasers. The
county had TO pay the bonds with
some thirty odd years accrued in
terest at q per cent. 1t cost the
county some 100000 because the
majority of the people in 1852 we're
"fool railroad" people. Wasn't that
lesson sufficient 1t looks like il
ought 10 be. And il wasn't an is
olated case. Numbers of counties
IN this State had similar expert
ence and some are still resisting
payment.
Throughout the United States
over-enthusiastic, confiding peopl,
by being "iool railroad" people
have contributed untold millions tC
the Golfers of shsrpers, who steadily
plot for just such purposes. Does
their being Heeced contribute to tho
upbuilding of the country by mean'
of railroads2
The OUTLOOK is warmly in favor
of building railroads, but it wishe,
the people, especially the Bath
county people, to make their con
tributions to such projects undeI
safeguards that will prevent then
from being vIctimized. We hav,
no jealousy of neighboring towns
In fact, We would like for them Il
have the best that fortune car
bring them. And in just the sam,
spirit We would be sorry if they
should be imposed upon.
The railroad fever has infected
this town time and again. For tn
time being We would nearly all b.
beside ourselves with enthusiasm
and hardly amenable to reason
|, After it is long over it is amusin,
to reflect what sanguine softie
many of US made of ourselves
Perhaps it is due to good luck a
: much as anything else that tn,
town hasn't been victimized by pre-
tended railroad promoting sharp
ers. In truth, on such occasion
of railroad enthusiasm the peopl,
; nearly everywhere become hysteric
al like they do at some religious re
vivals, or lose their judgment a
staid, moral citizens sometimes d.
when a sharper begins selling to
crowd IS and s 10 notes for one dollar
The result is, the preacher has
great revival to his credit, or tn,
sharper skips with some thousand
of cash, or the railroad promote
has the people ready to be duped i
he so desires.

The CarlIn Shooting.

The preliminary examination Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Puett was not conclud.
ed until about IL o'clock last night
and resulted in both being bound ov-
er in $4,000 each to appear before the
grand jury. After the State closed
its case Mr.. and Mrs. Puett were in
formed Of their rights by Justice
Rutledge and both made lengthy
statements. The evidence addueod
by the State and the statements of
the defendants did not differ mater
tally from the account published on
Monday. Tho report that an Indian
saw Mr.. Puett fire the shot proved to
be without foundation. The defen-
dants seemed to be much surprised
when they were held to appear be-
fore the grand jury and Mr.. Puett
declared that they would go to Jail
before he would ask anybody to go on
their bonds. Judge Rutledge held
Miss Walker, the hired girl, in 5000
bonds to appear as a witness. The
defendants were placed in custody of
Sheriff Campbell who is guarding
them in Carlin. They will probably
be brought to Eiko fought or tomor-
row.

Deadly Field Gun.

The new field gun, which fires a
shrapnel sheel and which in it's per-
fected state is beng used for the first
time by the British in South Africa, is
perhaps the most deadly weapon of
modern warfare. Each gun can fire
II aimed shots a minute and each
shot carries 26O bullets weighing AZ tc
the pound. The shrapnel shell con-
sists Of piece of steel tubing filed
with small balls. At the head of the
shell is a time-fuse which can be adj
justed to suit the range at which the
gun is fired. The fuse ignites the
charge Of powder which lies in front
OF the bullets. The firing Of the gun
ignites the fuse which in turn ignites
the powder, bursting the she'd and
sending $50 bullets flying among the
enemy, The bullets scatter like shot
from a f''wling piece and covers
range of "a square yards with a rain
of lead. The gun has killing range
Of 1850 yards.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Passage of the Senate Army Bill by
the House Settles It.

Washington, March 1.-The last posi-
bility of an extra session of congress dis
appeared when the house passed the SEN
ate army reorganization bill Very con-
siderable and vigorous opposition to the
acceptance of the senate bill was voiced
it appeared possible that the bill would
not secure the necessary two-thirds to
pass it under suspension of the rules But
the Republican leaders, Messrs. Hender-
son, GroSVenor and Cannon, came to its
support on the Republican side, and Mr..
weight of his influence in favor of it on
the Democratic side, arguing that it pro-
vided for only a emporary increase of
the army, which would be made perma-
nent if congress were convened in extra
session
Another big item in the vote was Mr..
HulPs recital of a statement made by the
president to him that he would not con-
strue section II as authority to conscript
the minority in volunteer organizations
which should elect to remain in the serv
ice. The bill passed, 2G3 to 80. 1t now
goes to the president
The decks were also cleared of many
other important matters. The general de
ficiency appropriation bill carrying S21--
OS9. Co., was passed under suspension of the
rules without a word of criticism. This
is the last of the appropriation bills. The
senate amendments to the river and har-
Dor bill were non-cOncurred in and IT was
sent to conference, the friends of the Nj
caragua canal amendment having decided
to postpone their fight until the confer
ence report.
The conference reports on the omnibus
claims bill. the naval personnel and many
other less important measures were agreed
to. The senate bill ma king Dewey full
admiral was passed. The bill now goes to
the president for his signature.
