The Pistol Bill Becomes A Law,

The pistol bill, introduced bv
johnson, of Fayette, and which
has won for him the name of
Pistol Bill' Johnson became a
law the first of last week, when it
was passed the house with amend
ments exempting sheriffs, deputy
sheriffs and appointive officers
In the performance of whose duties
made 1t necessary that they
should carry arms.
Now the man who would 90
'rned will have to publish a no.
tice of his intentions to do 80,
and then apply to the circuit
court for a license to carry a
weapon, stating the necessity
thereof and showing good cause,
as well as proving his good moral
character, paying a license fee of
$40 per year and giving bond
against his violating the stipu.
latings of the compact.
The enforcement of this law
should have the effect of cutting
down the percentage Of the peo.
pie who carry weapons. 1t has
been the custom Of many to car
ry a revolver for the assurance
Of safety which the feeling of it
brings, aud from this mpob
trouble has resulted Now that
heavy penalties have been fixed
severed Of these will leave their
guns at home, and the class of
Jonahs and hoodums throupb

LECTURE ON LINCOLN
Col. Tuttle Draws Large Crowd to
Hear His Address

One of the most popular and interest
ing features of the State Agricultural
College Extension wark that is being
given here this week WAS the lecture on
Abraham Lincoln given IN Tuesday even
ing by Col. J. F. Tuttle t Denver. Tho
auditorium of the new High School build
ing was filled to its Ut most capacity.
This is Lincoln Centenniai ear and every
thing that pertains to th= lincoln history
and biography takes on Z. lie more in
terest than ordinarily tches to the
name of our Martyr PresI=nt-a name
that must come to DC link nth that of
a Washington as actors in l1a great cri-
ses of the national history.
Col. Tuttle had therefore vary receipt
i've audience waiting him on Tuesday
evening. Yet what he said was received
rather IN respectful admiration for the
subject for his remarks than with ap-
p!auding enthusiasm. The speaker filed
his hour chiefly with reviewing Of the
career Of Lincoln (, ON the point Of his
oratory, citing what he considered his
epoch making speeches; those Of the
historic debate with Douglas. the one de-
liversd in Cooper Institute. and his brief
but pregnant address at the White House
following Lees surrender. with just an
allusion to the notable deliveranes on the
field Of Gettysburg. The speaker touched
here and there upon the private life. and
also upon the humorous characteristics
Of the great man. but these illusions
were made incidental to pointing the
bearing Of his great platform dslivsraness.
The lecture in this way made an intsr-
estine contribution to the study Of Lin
coin for the pupils Of our public schools.
and for many others who will have fresh
interest awakened in the study Of the
life Of Lincoln during his centennial year.
Tho Girls Glee Club of the High School.
under the direction Of Miss North. made
a very happy prelude to the lecture by
the rendering Of several songs specially
prepared for the occasion.
