PISTOL IOTING.

AnsOn county superior court cOnyeH
ed last MondaJ and up to Thursday
there had been eleven convictions on
the charge of carrying concealed
deadly weapons. IL all of the eases
there was imposed a fine of from tif-
teen to twenty-five dollars, except in
two wnere there was a suspension Of
judgment. This shows it is the GUS
concealed weapons. This perniciouc
habit is not confined to the man of the
city, who walks the streets in the ate
hours Of the night o" to the yourg man
of the city who thinks that when he
goes ont on lark he must have an
arsenal and a rapid fire battery in his
hip pocket, but it is INDUCED in by the
man on the farm and the courtrynlan
who day after Gay pursues the evel
tenor Of his way in his rural pursuits.
1t shows that this dangerous habit is
extensive and INDUCED in by people
in every class and calling of life.
1t is pity that nothing can be done
to break up this almost universal hab-
it, 1t is the cause of more murder
trials and hOmicides than any other
that is practiced by our people.
AS rule no man has any need for
a pistol Men who never carry one
never feel the need of it's use. There
are hundreds and thousands of men in
this country whose business requires
them to be out in cities and towns at
all times of night and who have to go
into all sorts Of places who never
think of carrying a pistol and they
never are placed in the position where
they need one; while there are others
who are never found day or night
without one in the hip pocket and
these are always finding imaginary use
for the weapon and often using it
where no necessity has arisen and to
the end that life has been taken with
out cause.
The judges of our court should i'm
pose heavier sentences in cases of this
kind They could in this way help
break up this pernicious habit

We suppose every body is now sat
isfed that Robert K. Dargan commit
ted suicide; but the question is still
open as to the conduct Of his brother
Pegram who sat by and saw him drink
the deadly poison. Many still believe
that there had been an agreement be-
gether, but when it came to the test
the nerve of Pegram failed and he al
lowed his brother TO carry out The
agreement alone.

Couple Welded i'm Masonic Lodge
A rather unusual and romantic we'd
ding was performed in East Point
Tuesday evening the parties to which
were Miss Clara Childress and Mr..
John Frank Kennedy. While the East
Point Masonic lodge was busily en-
gagged in comforting degrees Tuesday
night. loud rap was heard upon the
door. The rap was not in accordance
with Masonic signals. When the tyler
investigated he found a young man
very much out of breath. He inquired
az to whether Rev. 3. H. Phillips was
in the lodge room. He was told that
the minister was present. but was an
officer in the lodge and as such was
engaged and could not be disturbed.
The young man then said he wanted
the minister to perform quiet little
wedding ceremony and gave his name
as John Frank Kennedy. and that of
his fiancee as Miss Clara Childress. He
had left both the young lady and her
father at the minister's residence while
he came on for the preacher himself.
The tyler put the case before the
lodge and it was unanimously decided
not to put an obstruction in Cupld's
way The young man was told to re-
turn to Mr.. Phillips home. get his
Sride-tO-be and her father and come
back to the lodge room. When the
party came the lodge suspended busi-
ness and the wedding party distributed
itself about the lodge altar. where
Rev. Mr.. Phillips pronouncea the
words that made the young couple man
and wife.
Immediately after the ceremony the
! young people were shoWered with the
congratulations of the Masons present
Leaving the room Mr.. Kennedy and his
bride returned to their home near Ben
| Hill, while the lodge resumed its de-
I liberatiOnS.

Rome, Nov l9-A bomb was eX- editice was crowded and an inde- scribable scene of confusion ensued. There were no fatalities. As soon as the echoes of the tremendous roar had ceased, a canon sought by reassuring words to quiet the people but in vain. They fled in all direc

 their families in the crush The church is so large, however, that
 there was ample room for the
 crowd to scatter and no one was injured. No trace of the perpe- trator of the deed has been found Since Saint Anacletus, who was 1 ordained by Peter himself, erected l an oratory in 90 A D. on the site of the present Basilica to mark the spot where the remains of St. Peter are buried, no such dastardly act has ever been perpetrated
 Holy relics were exposed and a large number of the faithful at tended the service, Cardinal Ram

HEN WITH ONE Ltt;
 RUNS AND SCRATCHES

Paducah, Ky, Nov. 19.-A freak in the fowl line is owned by Miss Linda Bryan. It is bullet, almost grown, that was matched with but one leg. There is no sign of a sec ond one.
 To make uD for the shortage the young hen takes steps or hops, and covers twice the distance of the other chickens This gives her comical appearance in moving, but she can outpace anything in the yard and has easy work in side stepping mischievous dogs.
 Where the one-legged chick shows her headwork is in scratch ing. For long time the one-leg- ged hen stood by and let the rooster do the scratching. but several days ago she began to practice balanc- ing by stretching out a wing and using it as crEtch Now she can stand on the stiff outstretched feathers ot the wing and dig with a single leg.

STEAD TALKS OF ~W>
 THAT REPRIMAND,

The reprimand given the jury in the Mittie Bryant case by Judge Grace Friday afternoon, an account of which appeared in Sundays Graphic, has oc- casioned much comment over the city.
 MT. w. s. Stead, one of the jurors. asks the Graphic to say that he and another favored a verdict of guilty and held up the findings for some time, Finally finding himself opposing eleven men he yielded to their argument, and went over to them.
 1t appears from further statement. of MT. Stead that the jury discussed the probable opinion of the court re- sarding a verdict of guilty or acquittal, as much as the law and evidence.

FULL TEXT OF ITS FINDINGS

Circuit Court Court Yes
terday.

The Cat>op County grand jury ha,
concluded its labor>, made and filed it.
final report with the Hon. Circuit
Court, received its formal dismissal from
service. and gone about its normal
work and interests: Following is the
full text OF its findings as reported
to Judge Mcbride yesterday morning
"To the Honorable Circuit Court of
the County OF Clatsop, State of Ore
gon:
The grand jury duly empanelled for
the February term OF the circuit
court of the County OF Clatsop for the
State OF Oregon, for the year 1906
respectfully submit this, our final re.
port As follows:
we have inquired into all charges of
crime that have been brought to our
attention and have returned two true
bills and one not,true bill.
Our session has been somewhat
heightened on account of the detailed
investigation which we have made OF
city and county affairs.
Among the matters investigated. are
the gambling and dance hall evils. and
we find that under the power granted
to the city council by the charter OF
the city, ordinances have been enact
ed prohibiting gambling and dance halls
within the City OF Astoria. These
ordinances, if properly enforced by the
municipal authorities of the City of As I
toria, including the police force, are
ample and sufficiently stringent to pro,
hibit and suppress all gambling and
dance halls within the city. and We see
no necessity at the present time for
compelling the county to 90 to the ex-
pense OF prosecuting for offence, which
ought to be prosecuted by the City
authorities.
I'VE find that there exists in the City
of Astoria practice condoned by the
city authoritis, Of sending the chief of
police once each month to each gamb-
ling house or place where gambling is
carried on in the city, and that such Of
tieer, with the consent of the city Of,
ficials, at such time collects the sum of
twenty-five dollars per month from each
gambling game in operation This mon
ey is turned over by the chief of police
to the city auditor and police Judge
and thereupon the chief OF police files
a written complaint against each of
such gambling games or the keeper
thereof and the money 50 collected. 50
far as the record is concerned. is de-
clared forfeited "a bail. and by such
manufacture of such record. i, declared
forfeited to the city For the remainder
of each month, each game is permitted
to run without being molested. 50 that
this so-called bai-money is in realty
paid to the city for the privilege of
