ARMY BULLETS FOR GAME.
Objected to on Account of Their Great
Penetration.

Objected to on Account of Their Great
Penetration.
Something for sportsmen to consider
seriously, if they intend to get one Of
the new 30-caliber army rifles, is the
great pei etration of the bullets. One
of the bullets would kill a man through
a four-foot spruce tree, or COW a mile
and more away. No ordinary tree can
be depended on to stop one of these bull
let's, and it might easily travel half q
mile through dense woods and hit a 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 dam
ger to human beings. Another argus
ment 1T offers in favor of such a law will
have great influence on the men who do
not wish to wound without killing the
game. This class of bullets is useless
for large game unless soft pointed"
it says, "as it rarely kills instantly, but
allows the game to die from internal
hemorrhage and in terrible agony out
of reach"
When such rifle is used for big game
bullet that m ushrooms should be en-
ployed. The mushrooming bullet will
kill anything, as it goes clear through
an elk, moose, or deer, and the force Of
the impact would knock running griz-
Zly down.

REV. FRANCIS HERMANN
Has Record Of Crime Little Less
Than the Notorious Holmes.
No Less Than seven Murders Are Laid ~
the Door Of the Reverend Gentleman
He Also Confessed to EmbexxlinG
Church Funds-villsin 1t Large.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, May 25.-
Further developments in the Scandi-
navian church tragedy in this city
lead to the belief that Rev. Francis
Hermann is man with q record of
crime little less than the notorious
Holmes. His first wife died in Eng
land under suspicious circumstances.
He was pastor of Scandinavian
church at West Superior, Wis, in 1890
and 1891, and there married highly
respectable lady, who in less than q
year died very suddenly with her two
weeks old baby. An inquest was held,
but nothing beyond suspicion of foul
play was elected. Hermann soon mar
ried again and came to Salt Lake in
1894 with his wife. Before long baby
was born and the mother and child died
suddenly few weeks after.
Then his acquaintance with Miss
Clawson commenced and it is charged
in the complaint which, has been sworn
to by John Samson, member of the
church here, that he murdered and
cremated the body in the heating furn-
ace in the church basement
He was engaged to marry Miss Sam
uelson in February of this year, but
she disappeared and it is charged that
he poisoned her after seducing her and
carved up the body in the church eel
lar. AS far as yet discovered it is be-
lieved he has murdered seven persons.
Miss Clawson came to Salt Lake from
Omaha seven years ago. She was ma
tive of Sweden and as far as known had
no relation in this country, but
she had many friends here and was
considered a respectable girl. Miss
Samuelson was employed as nursery
governess in family here, and left
her place to be married to the preacher
She has an aunt and other relatives
living here and was member of Her.
mann's church. The church officers
say that Hermann was suspended re-
Gently for embezzling church funds
confessed his guilt in that regard and
was waiting hearing before the an
nual Methodist conference. He was q
fine looking man and very generally
liked. He is represented as having g
great liking for the study of medicine
anatomy and kindred subjects, ant
often delivered disquisition on the hu
man form.
The Scandinavian church, where the
murders of Miss Clausen and Miss
Samuelson took place, has been visited
by large numbers Of people ever since
the horrible discovery was made known
on Saturday.
No services were held in the church
Sunday. The human remains, together
with the garter buckle and belt buckle
which were found in the furnace have
been so identified that there is now ne
doubt but that they are those of Mis-
Clausen. One of the razors and th'
butcher knife also found in the furnace
have been positively identified by Rev
Mork as the property Of Rev. Francis
Hermann, who is accused Of the crime
Miss Samuelson's watch and ring
have been found .in a pawn brokers'
shop where they were pledged by Mr.
Hermann just before he left for Kan
sas. The police here have so far NJ

THE HUMAN EYE.
Like the Arm, the One That IL Most Used
Is Strongest.

Like the Arm, the One That Il Most Used
Is Strongest.
You are either left-eyed or right-eyed,
unless you are the one person out Of
every Is who has eyes of equal strength.
You also belong to the small minority
of one out of every ten persons if your
left eye is stronger than your right.
AS rule, just as people are right-hand-
ed, they are right-eyed.
This is probably due to the generally
greater use of the organs of the right
side of the body, as, for example, a
sportsman, using his right arm and
shoulder, uses his right eye to sight his
gun, thereby strengthening it with ex-
ercise.
Old sea captains, after long use Of the
telescope, find their right eye much
stronger than the left. The law is con-
firmed by the experience Of aurists.
IT person who has ears of equal hear
ing has cause to use one ear more than
the other for long period, the ear
brought into requisition is found to be
much strengthened, and the ear which
is not used loses its hearing in a cor
responding degree.

DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES.
Go Far But Four Congressional Districts
Have Made Selections.

Have Made Selections.
COLUMBUS, o., May 20. So far but
four Ohio co congressional districts have
selected their delegates to the national
democratic convention. In two OF
these free silver democrats have
carried the day and selected free
silver men as candidates. The
Twentieth district has chosen two
radical gold standard men as delegates.
In this district gold democrats won in
the primaries, but it is understood that
one silver and one gold delegate will
be selected in the convention. In the
county conventions to choose state
delegates, many of which have now
been held, the free silver democrats
have generally held majorities, and
as the result Is almost a foregone con-
clusion that the democrats of Ohio will
in their state convention declare for
free silver 1t is reported here that
Senator Brice who, sometiEle ago, an
nounced his intention of coming into
the state to make a fight against the
free silver movement, sees the futility
of it and will make no opposition to it..
