The legislature at its last session
abolished the time honored custom of
allowing note to fall due three days
after its apparent maturity, a custom
which grew up In the days of uncer-
tain transportation when the unfavor-
able winds might delay vessel and
prevent an honorable merchant from
meeting his obligations if strict en-
forcement of the bond were insisted
upon as portrayed by Shakespeare In
the character of his immortal Shylock.
From and after April fifth of this
year note drawn payable in the
state of Wisconsin thirty days after
its date falls due in the thirty days
without grace. In other words days of
grace are abolished by the statute pass
ed a year ago to take effect in one
year from that time.

fierce fighting. AT each stroke the fur
would be seen to fly in punches. and the
blows, il they a be termed as such,
were fast and furious. After a minutes
contest the pursued hare made an eff
fort to run, but it was SO badly crippled
that it lost its equilibrium and fell in
the slush, where it received still further
punishment from its opponent. We
thought that the jig was up with No. 1,
and moved slowly toward the spot
where the conflict had taken place.
When within fifty yards of the fighting

dead or dying leaped to his feet and
fought more viciously than ever. The
contest did not continue much longer,
as the hare which had challenged its OPP

pellets and lay apparently dead on the
field OF battle. After driving the sue
cessful competitor away and picking up
the PROSTATE animal we found that both
OF its eyes were completely destroyed

easily captured the 'conquering hero

CAN KILLAT TWO NILES.
Deadly Rifle to 30 supplied United States

Deadly Rifle to 30 supplied United States
Troops.
Rocky Mountain News: The new
rifle which has beer adopted for use in
the United States army is on exhibition
at the office of Lieutenant Collins at
the army headquarters. The Craig
Jorgunsen rifle WAS selected as the best
guI out of tifty-thrcc different models.
The guns weighs eight pounds, and is
said to nave the capacity to kill n man
ut the distance of two miles. 1t is n
breech loader, and hrs n magazine
which will carry five cartridges. The
ball, having n speed of 1000 feet per
second aud smoiscless powder being
used, it is clnimed the bullet will kill
II man before the sound of the discharge
can reach him. Army men who exam
ined the weapon pronounced it the
most complete instrument of death
they ever saw. The CUR liIl be on ex-
hibition after a few du, 4 the Denver
club, where u place over the mautel
has been arranged for it.
The peculiar fenture about the new
rifle which strikes the observer is the
amount of wood and the comparatively
small amount OF melll winch Is dis
played. The reason assigned for the
innovation is that the barrel of the gun
becomes hot from rapid firing and the
wood is a protection to the hand of the
soldier. The cartridge is quite small.
but is larger than the bore of the rifle.
1t is estimated that the soldier can
carry IFS or goo rounds of the new am
munition. The bullet is covered by
nickel or steel instead of lead. Tho
rifle is provided with n knife blade
bayonet. The first issue of the new
arm will be made to two companies of
the Second infantry ut Omaha. The
second issue will be made to the Fourth
infantry at Fort Sheridan. The entire
infantry force will be supplied by next
fall and the cavalry will next be sup
piled. The old arms will be turned in
to the government to be distributed
among the various states.
