PUNCTURES STEEL PLATES.
One of the New German Rifle in the
Possession of a Cali
fOrnian.

BY some means one of the new rifles
with which the German army has just
been armed has escaped the vigilance of
the officers and has been carried out of
the empire and its present owner was
III this city yesterday, says a San Ber-
nardino dispatch to the San Francisco
Call. 1t now belongs to A. Alderman
OF Sacramento, and although Emperor
William has tried to regain it and the
German consul at San Francisco has
standing orders to get possession of 1T If
possible, Alderman keeps his prize, and
yesterday in some tests made at the Co.
Il range in this city he for the first time
realized the full force of it's terrific pow
er.
The rifle sped bullet through half
inch steel plate at 200 yards, through
several inches of planking behind it and
buried the pellet in the earth. 1t left
an opening through the steel plate as
clean as though it had been drilled.
Ihe cartridges, as well as the gun,
are manufactured by the German gov
eminent, but in some way Alderman is
able to keep supplied with them. The
cartridges used are three and one-half
inches in length and are carried in small
metallic frames, five cartridges in a
frame. This frame fits into the maya
zine of the gun and the five shots may
thus be fired in rapid succession, the
apparatus by which a shell is thrown out
and another placed in position working
very quickly. The trigger pulls with
three pounds weight. The Springfield
rifle used by United States troops pulls
at nine pounds.
At the test yesterday a quarterback
iron plate, three-eighths of an inch and
a half-inch steel plate were placed in
position one at Il time. and each of them
perforated by a steel bullet it cutting a
hole half an inch in diameter and leav-
ing no ragged edge. The half-inch steel
plate test was a surprise even to Ack-
erman, who did not think the gun ca

MERCHANT oUTwITs HIS RIVALS.


Sells Them Salt for Sugar and Thus Ends
Lively War of Prices.
A sugar war between rival grocery
firms in the village of White, S. D., has
terminated in a curious manner. The
war was Occasioned by one of the mer-
chants offering twenty pounds of sugar
for 81 A couple of rival business men
entered into a scheme to punish the mer-
chant for offering sugar SO cheaply and
sent cOnfederates to him to secretly buy
sugar for them at the reduced price.
After removing a couple of pounds out
of each 81 package they sold the re-
mainder to their own customers, thus
beating their rival out of two pounds on
each investment of 81. The victim
learned of the scheme, and in retaliation
filled some packages about half full of
salt, put sugar on top of it and disposed
of the packages to the parties whom he
knew were buying the sugar for his
rivals. These packages were then sold
by the rival merchants to their custom
ers, after deducting the customary two
pounds. After the man who made a spe-
cialty of sugar had sold his rivals about
dozen barrels of salt at 5 cents a pound
some of the customers of the dupes en-
tered protest against paying sugar prices
for salt, and the trick was exposed and
the war" brought to a sudden end.

VERY AWKWARD Indeed.

This is precisely the kind of mistake a
man makes if he turns OUT on the wrong
side of the road when a vehicle comes
toward him. No less absurd is the error Of
the individual who takes drastic medicines

right side, and the road to its relief is Hos

The eggs of the gnat are arranged

uppermost; if upset, it speedily adjusts

Ripans Tabules, which | have been
taking for liver and kidney trouble,
from which l have suffered a great
deal, sometimes to such an extent
that | would have to stop working

a great many men throughout the
country, including plenty of really swell

means sure that it isn't rightly-that

has this foundation in reason, that eX-
cellent shoes are now made for So. To
pay IS to So for a pair of shoes is sim
ply throwing away money, and in many
cases this is done to crafty a mistaken
notion that none but your favorite shoe
maker is worthy to adorn your feet. The
recent improvements in shoe machinery

duce a shoe today that will compare
