ARMY BULLETS FOR GAME.
Objected to on Account Of Their Grea
Penetration

objected to on Account Of Their Great
Penetration.
Something for sportsmen TO consider
seriously, if they intend to get one OF
the new 3o-caIiber army rifles, is the
great penetration of the bullets. One
of the bullets would kill a man through
four-foot spruce tree, or a cow a mile
and more away. No ordinary tree can
be depended on to stop one Of these bull
lets, and it might easily travel half a
mile through dense woods and hit man
far out of sight with deadly effect.
Field and Stream says that the next
legislatures of our great game states
should pass law prohibiting the use
OF a jacketed bullet, because of the dan
ger to human beings. Another argu-
ment IL offers in favor of such law will
have great influence on the men who do
not wish 70 wound without killing the
game. This class of bullets Is useless
for large game unless soft pointed, {"
IL says, "as it rarely kills instantly, bot
allows the game TO die from internal
hemorrhage and in terrible agony out
of reach"
When such a rife is used for big game
bullet that mushrooms should be en-
ployed. The mushrooming bullet will
kill anything, a. it goes clear through
an elk. moose. or deer, and the force Of
the impact would knock running griz-

NEBRASKA ROAD REVIVED
Yankton and Norfolk Project Taken
Hand by Eight Millions of Capital


Omaha, June 2.-The Yankton and
Norfolk railway, construction OF which
was suspended about two years ago
when its British protector de eamped,
has been taken up by Omaha men,
with a prospect that the line, which all
concede can be made paying, will short
" be completed and operated. Articles
of incorpora ton have been filed by
John NJ. Dougherty, Samuel H Stearns,
B. J.Scannen, Louis Shredder, B. l..
Baldwin, Alf c. Kennedy, and James
p. English for the construction OF the
road. The capital stock is $4,000, 900.
The road will traverse the counties
of Cedar, Knox, Pierce and Madison.
The incorporators met today in this
city and talked over the situation. 1t
will be about two weeks yet before the
plans will have been perfected and the
entire scheme published. The incorpo-
rators today elected officers, as fol-
lows: President, James P. English;
vice-president, B. L. Baldwin; secre-
tary, 3. J. Scannell; treasurer, Louis
Schroeder.
The company has strong financial
backing and is sure of carrying the road
through TO completion. The erection
Of the bridge across the Missouri river
at Yankton will be done by a separate
company, but one that will incorporate

A wedding of the most remarkable
nature occurred on board the steamship
Australia in the course of her recent TRIP
to Australia. The bride WAS Miss VIVA
King, a native of the Hawaiian islands,
ald the groom was Tom Cottrell, 4
coiored carpenter of Honolulu. The
former has been in this country for
some months, travelling about making
her living as dancer in music halls on
the Pacific coast, while the man was
in this country ON pleasure bent. He
worked as ships carpenter on board the
Austria in return for his passage. The
pair had not met each other when the
ship arrived at Honolulu.
When the young woman attempted &c

her and vigorously objected. 1t seems

months in the Hawaiian prison for en-

work oil day, and when he quit was
not given a chance to prepare for the
wedding. He was hustled down to the
wharf in his shirt sleeves.
The galley was the scene OF the cere-
mony, and native minister made VIVA
King Mrs. Tom Cottren. The crew
looked upon the ceremony as huge
sport, and when it was over gave three
cheers that aroused the city. They
simply showered the couple with rice.
The wife dressed in the height of fash

lowed by her nl-attired husband. at
the bottom of the plank Mrs. Cottrell
turned to say something, but as she
opened her mouth lad on the deck, by
a well-directed throw, filed it with
rice. She had closed the mouths of the
officers who protested against her land
